Government at Washington had De-manded More Adequate Preventative Measures Along Mexico-Texas Border. Washington, D. April 20. A summary of Mexico's reply to the demand of the United States for greater precautionary measures along the border was received at the state department today and conveyed at once to President Taft. Mexican Ambassador Zamacona in a statement today says that while the reply refers to "lamentable events on the border" it Is "friendly In form and essence." President Taft will await receipt of the formal note from Mexico before taking the matter up further.

It is said the President today is disposed to regard it as the usual dipo-matic forerunner to formal negotiations for greater preventative measures. Ambassador Zamacona said he had read the note and made the following comment upon it: "Xothwithstanding the note addressed by the department of foreign affairs to Ambassador Wilson refers to lamentable events on the border, it certainly must be friendly in form and essence, for it is impossible to suppose that It might be in the least unfriendly or discourteous. "The relations between the two governments have been most cordial. "It would be very convenient to wait until the note is made known in full, before venturing to come to a conclusion, which may only be based on fragmentary and unau-thenticated quotations." The state department issued Uie following statement: "The department of ptate declines to comment upon the press telegrams from Mexico on the subject of toe reply to representations made by the American embassy under its instructions of April 14 to call attention to i the need of instructions to prevent further danger to American lift and property, as in the Douglas incident.

According to the United States army officers here, Juarez will be pie-pared for the expected attack.

From the brief telegram received from the embassy on the subject it appears that orders have been given through the Mexican war department to prevent firing that might endanger American life, especially in Douglas, and that the Mexican government has expressed itself as deploring the incident in cruestion. It is inferred from the embassy's telegram that there ig some discrepancy between the news which has reached the two capitals as to various particulars connected with the Douglas incident." Douglas, April 20. Details of Minister de ia Barra's response to President Taft's protest against firing into Douglas by Mexican federal troops and rebels vpere received here today. One of the claims of Senor de la Barra is that Lieut. Troncoso of the Mexican federal army was wounded by a shot from the American custom house; that shots came from this custom house constantly during the struggle, and that it was not plain whether the shots came from revolutionists who might have taken pos-eeasiw -lh-ftistom house or from American sympathizers with the revolution present in the United States building.

All the trains of the Rutland roads, both freight and passenger, pass over one track only. The danger to passengers in having to.

cross and reeross the tracks of each road is cited. The congestion of baggage and mall owing to inadequate accommodations is cited as a source of 'constant danger to the travelling public, and the business of the express companies need larger accommodations at the station. There is urgent need also, recites the petition of better accommodations for the transfer of mails by the post office department. The present station Is wholly Inadequate and Insufficient for the reasonable accommodation of the public. Burlington haa grown from a town of 7500 in 1862 to a city with a population of about 22.000 at present.

People travel on the railroads more now than they did 50 years ago and Burlington has in recent years become the metropolis and distributing point for the whole state of Vermont and a portion of northern New York. Over 250 Commercial -Travelling men have their homeg here. The larger business wholesale and retail manufacturers, banks, are cited as testimony of the growth and needs of the city ln railroad facilities. Burlington is also a convention city, and has educational advantages which bring many people here. Summer tourist travel, the Military Post, excursions from and to the city, business of the post office, all contribute to the importance of Burlington and Its need of first class railroad facilities.

The artistic possibilities of a suit. abi station to- visitors ijnming into! Burlington are dwelt upon In the petition as a factor to be considered.
