COOLIDGE AND CABINET IN SEQUION TODAY ON SITUATION Rebel Blockade Forms Conference Subject At’ Capital; Drastic Action Considered. U. S. LANDS IN WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. COUNTY URGED! —tThe situation in Mexico, complicated recently by de- claration of a revolutionist blockade at Tampico, was considered by ‘ President Coolidge and his advisers today at one of the longest cabinet sessions in recent months. There were indications that more jactive steps to protect American in- terests In the blockaded port were considered at tae meeting, but cab- inet members said afterward that any announcement must come from the president. White House of- ficials were silent. The revolutionary leader De La Huerta has been warned that the United States will not permit ep- cronehment upon ita commercial rights in Tampico, but. some of- ficials incline to the belfef that a warni«s alone will not be sufficiant. Whether American warships will be sent to the blockaded port as a pre- caution is a question that no cabinet members would answer. The cabinet had before it the re- fusal of the acting governor of ‘Texas to permit passage of Mexican federal troops across that state, a privilege requested by the state de- | partment at the instance of Obregon | officials in Mexico City. New Mexti- |co and Arizona already have given | permission for such a troop move- ment within their borders in order {to facilitate Obregon’s operations against the rebels in the north, and it was indicated that there still was hope here that a similar step even- tually would be taken also by the state officials of Texas. es WOMAN WILL BE TAKEN BACK TO TOPEKA JAIL | ' i Pearl Adams who was arrested a few days ago by the local police on a warrant from’ Topeka, Kans., will be taken back to Topeka today by John Heitman, deputy sheriff.
