Complete disorganization of the two troops that wfr fnaged in disastrous coraoai Wednesday moraimr at Carrizal with i Oarranza troops and the practical an- j nihilation of those actually in the fight was indicated in a report from General Pershing by General Funston today. One packer and ei-rht enlisted men of Troop C. and sewn men of Troop K. wer picked up yesterday mornirrg by Uieutenint Meyer near Santa Maria, j All were horse-holders. The stories these lr.en told were almost identical j to those told by the other stragglers that reached the transmission lines j yesterday. No Word rVom Relief Troops. General Pershing, in his report to- j day. referred to the number of those J who previously had returnd -to the American lines as eleven, although in j previous dispatches he fixed the num- j ber at seven. With those who were rescued by Lieutnant Meyer the total number of those who had returned wau twenty-seven. The- total number of men in the two troops was learned today to have been eighty-four. Gen- eral Pershing, offering a summary of his information and explaining that his conclusions were based on such in- formation as he had secured from the' Htragglprs and from press reports, called attention to the indications that there were fifty-seven missing and that press reports indicated fourteen of these were dead and forty-three wre prisoners. General Pershing does not account in his report for the num ber wounded, but appeared to assume that all those wounded had been cap- tured. i Gererjl Pershing reported that he i mander of the two squadrons of the Klcventh cavalry that had been sent forward to rescue the remnant of the Tenth. All those brought in by Lieu tenant Meyer were horse holders and like those who came intc camp yes terdav were not ac.tua.Ily in the fight. They had had difficulty, thev said, in handling the honses when the furious machine gun and rifle fire began, and retreated before the conclusion of the engagement Bring Back Horses. They had cared for such horses as j thev could round up after they cot be- yond range of the fire, the fall num- her of mounts in their possession j when encountered by Lieutenant Meyer ln-ing twenty-five. j I he troopers told their stories be- I rore iney nad re-entered tne camp and h id .in opportunity to talk with those who had preceded them.

Accord ing to their story the first intimation anyone had that hostilities were de termined upon was the outburst of machine gun fire. They corroborated the accounts that said it was not until then that Captain Boyd gave the com mand for his men to dismount and re turn the fire. The Mexicans during lh. nnrlav htiil (.pninJaJ a had assumed such positions that when i "y. they attacked they were in position to i f clock tents for three officers, six pweep with killing fire 'he Ameri-an tee" lbley tents' a hosPltal te"t- and line standing exposed in the open. j 'Continneii on Pane 2.

An analysis of the figures secured indicated that the number of woun'ed must be in excess of those that es caped injury and that, therefore, the battered remnant could not have moved far from the scene of the fight ing. Admission of these facts increased their apprehension as to the fate of the troopers. Their greatest hope to day was that nothing worse had be fallen them and that they would be there when the relief force from the Eleventh finally got to them. Although no news, official or other wise, had been received today that in dicated the Mexicans had followed up their worl of Wednesday some of the officers professed keen anxiety to learn whether they had attacked again the little broken and wounded hand that manifestly was incapable PERSHING, "THE MAN ON HORSEBACK" General J.

This Was the Sentiment so Earnestly and of the old crowds in the party and the final wiping out of the third party in Kansas. Through tonight's meeting, the state leaders hope to wipe out factional designation and to provide a solid party organization for the fight for tha Republican ticket in both state and nation. Withdrawal t iiaines of Progressive candidates for presidential electors and statements of party lead ers that a third state ticket would not be placed in the field, is cause for be lief among Republican leacer3 that the conservatives and radicals in the party will work in harmony.

Above each flag will be the name of some favorite Kansas soldier who is active in the National Guard at the present or won recognition in the Spanish-American war. At a given signal, electric fans behind the flags will start the waving of the stars and stripes. Incidentally, the waving of th flags is expected to start a real patriotic demonstration among the men and women in the hall. The Speakers. R. R. Brewster of Kansas City a brother of S. M. Brewster, attorney general is expected to leave a few sentiments tonight that will prove val uable campaign material in the com ing battle. Brewst represents the old crowd in Republican politics just as Stubbs represents the radical crowd that went to the third party in the campaign of four years ago. As a public speaker Brewster has little close competition in this territory. He spoke before the Kansas Iay club three years ago and was a real factor in the fisrht to return Kansas to Re publican rule in 1914. Both Stubbs and Brewster will point the way to party harmony In the campaign, and Governor Capper will urge peace and charity and organiza tion among all the faction? that desire to beat the Democrats. The Knights and Ladies of Security band will fur nish music and an effort will be made to fill the big hall with men and wo men interested in the amalgamation of the two parties.

Repub licans and Progressives from a number of towns and counties are expected to come to Topeka for the ratification. JPSIES ARE HERE Savages Begin New Series With Missonrians Today. One of Two Teams Must Go In to the Cellar. Jack Holland and his St. Joe Drum mers came to town today to begin a five game battle with the Savages for the honor of holding the cellar title. The first engagement was to begin at the usual hour this afternoon and to morrow's bill calls for a doubleheader. The Drummers, like the Savages, are pretty badly shot to pieces, but with Jordan able to hobble around in his old position at first base and Block able to catch, they hope to get back into a winning form. The Hollanders were badly defeated at Goodland. Kan., Friday, but they came in with a perfectly good alibi. "The Goodland people were too good to us," they said. "They entertained us in the morning with a rabbit chase and ran our players so hard that they were too tired to play their usual game i when afternoon came." OoerrKrbtl BU: BrMmT.

RUSH NEW DRAFTING MEASURE! Will Render Guardsmen for Immediate Service. Admiral Winslow Ordered Report Mazatlan Fray. to Washington. June 24. With reports at hand that nearly the entire Ameri can cavalry command of about 100 soldiers may have been annihilated in the fight at Carrizal Wednesday grave fears were exnressed in official circles today that not even diplomatic rep resentations from Mexico City can pre vent open hostilities between the United States and Mexico. Up to late last night only seven survivors of the Carrizal battle had returned to their base in General Pershing's column and they brought no definite word of the others' fate. In preparation for early develop ments of a serious nature, technical barriers had been removed to allow national guard units from all over the country to be disnatched to the bor- der as soon as each is ready. War Tlepartment Issues Rusb Order. Secretary Baker had issued orders urging extreme haste and final action was assured by congress today to al low President Wilson to draft imme diately for service either in or out of the United States all national guards men who subscribed to the new oath. The "ay resolution containing this authorization, adopted by the house yesterday was before th senate to day with virtual assurance that it would be approved. President Wilson still awaited a final report from General Pershing on the Carrizal clash, but army officers said it might be another day or two before this arrived. General Persh ing's official report probably will be based on the accounts either of offi cers of the troops which encountered tho Mexicans or of the cavalry squad ron which has been tent cut in rearch of the combatants. Admiral Winslow, commander of the Pacific fleet, also has been ordere l to make a full report scon on the Ma zatlan incident. Evidence now ava.il- able from American sources seems to i shew that in both the Mazatlan and Carrizal clashes Carranza authorities precipitated the fighting. At Carrizaj j it appears tile assault was treacherous and without warning PREDICT FINE SUNDAY Thunder Storms Will Not Hit Topeka Moderate Temperatures Forest.

According to a statement said to have been signed by Spilisbury. which was made public- today by General Trevino, neither he nor the negroes knew which side began the firing Spillsbury's statement says that C troops was first to advance ai(aint the Mexicans. It adds that practically all of the Americans who lost (heir lives were killed when they advanced to a deep ditch in which Mexicajis were stationed, and when other Mexi cans getting around to a deep ditch in their rear, attacked them from the flank. In his statement Spillabury ssvys that he never dreamed m-hen he left Casa Grander in company with Captain Boyd that there would be any trouble, feeling confident that previous friend ly relations would continue. Captain Morey and his men joined them en route and the statement quotes Spillsbury as saying during the conference with General Gomez he was opposed to Captain Boyd's ob stinacy, arguing that it would be best to retire until General Trevino at Chi huahua had paseed on their request to Gomez to be allowed to pass. Gomes explained, it i7 said, that an answer would come in three hours. Scout Ffeared Troubles I mem recount a supposed .opinion by Spillsbury that Captain Boyd was imbued with the idea, that an action would brine him m.irk road. It then gives Spillsbury's story as follows: "The troops were about 20 yards apart during the conference.

Seventeen prisoners have beent taken toChihuahuaCity. Mexican reports that twelve American dead were found on the scene of the engagement would In dicate if latest details are correct, that fourteen troopers either died from their wounds, were killed In later fighting, or have not succeeded in "reaching their base. Mexican authorities at Juarez have Vreceived no reports to indicate that the entire detachment of Americans in the fight at Carrizal had been wiped out. "It may be that the men were scat tered and got lost," said Consul Garcia, hut I believe they will report soon to their bare camp. Our version of he fiKht took it for granted that the Americans were able to retire." It is said that the survivors of the expedition to Csrrizal reached the American camp late yesterday. The men were found in scattered groups by a relief party. None of the men could give the slightest intimation as to the whereabouts of Captains Boyd and Morey and Lieutenant Adair.

TROOPSJNMEXICO 3Iap Shows Disposition of U. S. and Mexican Forces. General Pershing's Men Forti fied in Strategic Positions. El Paso, June 24. The accompany ing map shows the disposition of the American and Mexican troops along the border and in the state of Chi huahua. Wednesday's battle took place near Carrisal, a town nine miles southwest of Villa Ahumada approx imately sixty-five miles from General Pershing's headquarters at Colonia Dublan. General Pershing's troops are strung out along a 300-mile line of communi cations running south from Colum bus. N. M., the border bare of the ex pedition. Bodies of American troops hold Bocagrande, Colonia Diaz, As cencion, Corralitos, Colonia Dublan, Galeana, El Valle, Las Cruces and Namiquipa. Colonia Dublan is the main expedition base and Namiquipa the advance base and headquarters of General Pershing. General Pershing's forces are in trenched at all of the stations and have well protected water supplies. At Colonia Dublan the camp is on the east bank of the Casas Grandes river and in addition to extensive en trenchments with communicating trenches, the troops have erected per manent abodes from logs and wicker reeds and have also provided them selves with dugouts. Camps of engineers have been doing mucn wors on tne roads, grades, bridges, etc. The road is reported in excellent condition. They have estab lished stations all along the route from Columbus to Namiquipa. Near each station is a cleared space for aeroplane landings. Patrols at All Border Towns. At every American border town from Noeales. Ariz., to Rl Pa patrols of American troops. The same condition exists southeast from M Paso along the Southern Pacific railroad line as far as Del Rio, Tex.. mere oemg American troops, regu lars and federalized Texas nafonal guardsmen posted at nearly every railroad station and guardin- eveiv steel structure bridge alone the route. Specific information as to the dJs-, position ot irevino's forces 13 diffi cult to obtain, but generally che Mex ican troops are stationed as follows: Starting at Juarez, follow south the lino c-f the Mexican National railroad as far as Chihuahua City, which J the main Mexican base for the oper ations around General Fershing s col umn, and that place is also the head qui'rters of Gen. Jacinto Trevino, commander-in-chief of the de facto government's troops in the north. D'rectly east of El Valle, on the Mexican Central railroad at Villa Ahumada, is a heavy concentration of Mexican troops. This pace commands and menaces tne center or the Amen cxn line of communications at Rl Vslle, just thirty-five miles west. Tre vino has between fourteen and sev enteen thousand troops at Villa Ahu mada. Carranzistas Guard K, R. Towt-;. Also from Juarez to the southwest along the line of the Mexico North western railroad, at every other sta tion there are -small garrisons "of Car ranzistas, and. at Casas Grandes and Nueva Casas Grandes, where the rail road crosses the American line of operations.

Teutons Advanced But DriTen Back Today. Are CARRY THiAUMONT TRENCHES Hurl Five Divisions Against Two-Mile Front. Artillery and Infantry Using Utmost Intensity. Paris, June 24. The battle of Verr dun continued last night with the ut most violence on both sides of the Meuse. The war office announced to day that the French have regained a large part of the ground lost north east of Verdun near Hills S20 and 321. Undertaking a vigorous offensive, the French drove the Germans over the ground which they won yesterday. The battle was particularly violent in the vicinity of Fleury. More than six German divisions participated in the offensive actions east of the Meuse yesterday. Battle of Unprecedented Fury. Paris, June 24. Late details show that yesterday's fighting near Verdun equaled in fury anything yet experi enced. The total German forces engaged on a two mile front are estimated at be tween four and rive divisions. It was only by the last overwhelming rush when the defenders were worn out and thinned by many hours of bom bardment that the enemy succeeded in rushing the Thiaumont works and the adjacent advanced trenches. The Thiaumont fortifications covered the approaches of Fleury and the enemy hoped to continue the charge and sweep away the defenders of the latter place; but the French counter-attacked with such vigor that it was able nntv to dine to the positions first gained which he was busily engaged tion for fresh attacks to push his ad vantage. Commentators in the morning pa pers freely state that the Germans scored a success, but point out that tbi success cost more than it w worth, the enemy's losses being placed at from 10 to &u per cent or me er fectives engaged. Win After Three Weeks Effort. The Germans have captured the Thiaumont works after three weeks of effort, but the r rencn aavancea line still holds good, possessing the greater n&rt of Hills 320 and 321. These fresh strokes of th German battering ram are regarded in authoritative quarters. it is understood, witn perrect cairn. They will in no way, it is pointed out here, prevent expected developments; on the contrary they are likely to hasten them. Whether it is true or not that-the Germans h&ve been obliged to with draw troops from the western front to send to Russia, the fact is by no means manifest, for in the familiar Verun cockpit recent attacks have been well up to the standard of in tensity. They found effectives to de liver a well nourished onslaught in the Champagne region." Expectations occurred is located quite near Villa raised by the furious 24-hour bom bardment on the right bank of the Meuse were fulfilled. From early morning until nightfall attack after attack vas launched along the short front from Thiaumont to Iamloup. Vain Ravine the Objective. The object of the German com mander is to secure control of the Vaux ravine without which It is im possible for him to force back the French advanced line and begin an at tack upon ".he main line of forts be tween Scuville and Tavannes. The ra vine is closely boxed in by the Caiuette Woods to the north and the Chapitre woods to the south ar.d Hill 310, where the French position forms its root to the west. German attacks here met with a certain measure of success, but at heavy cost and their footing is by no means sure enough to prevent their being, dislodged .by" counter attacks which it is" believed the French will not fail to" make." East of the ravine, however, the enemy made, no headway whatever. Here the -French lines which command the approaches to Souville are under attack. They rest on three woods, Fumin to the left, Chenois to the right and the wood running from Vaux fort to the slopes of Souville on the center. The last named wood is the objective of the Germans for since it runs out m the salient toward Vaux fort all their other attacks are subjected to a flanking fire from it. They suc ceeded .n obta-'ning a footing in this wood on Wednesday night, after four costly attacks, but lost a large part of their gain on Thursday. Further at tempts made yesterday were defeated by the curtain of fire of the French artillery. 2,200 SHOUT Cont!nnet1 from Page One.) a quartermaster's tent, had been erected for Battery A. Then the men lined up in rows with tin dishes and tin cups in hand and were given their first camp meal, comprised of lemon ade, frankfurters, sauer kraut, bread and butter and coffee. Those in charge of the mess tent for Battery A are: Edward R. Bartlett, mess sergeant; John Jackson, first cook: I L. Grace, second cook; T. C. Whiteker, third cook. Band Plays, Too'. Hardly had the battery completed its mess than the Second Regiment band stationed just east of the battery the battery is at the extreme west of the camp struck up "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." Yell after yell followed the musicr and the whole camp gathered. "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk." "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here," and other yells wen heard. Then the band struck up "Fid dle Up, Fiddle Up on Your Violin." Nearo' soldiers from a colored detach ment at Fort Riley began "ragging" to the music and in a few minutes everybody was doing it, and the leader started the band to playing, "Every body's Doin' It Now." Scramble for Bunks. Next came. a wild scramble of ab sent minded youths for blankets and bunks for the night. Where they all slept is a mystery. They themselves didn't know ten minutes before taps blew. But as the last strains of the bugle call were heard, they had piled in some way, blankets or no blankets, bunks or no bunks. But not all of them. The guard de tail was made. It means that those on detail must do picket duty for the next twenty-four hours, alternating every few hours to give the other half an opportunity to sleep. The guards did not carry guns on guard. Their arms comprise pick handles. One de tail is on picket line, guarding horses and tents. The other is way over at the box cars guarding the guns and caissons. Nothing, excepting the nec essary equipment for camping was unloaded. On the trip from Topeka a number of the boys slept. They were obliged to get up at o'clock at the fair grounds and there wasn't anything ex Ahumada at the arrow point leading citing about that long, dusty trip to Fort Riley. j St. Marys Citizens Cbeer. At St. Marys some of the citizens stood on the depot platform and cheered as the long troop train passed. Farmers in the fields threw their hats in the air and housewives in the farm homes stood in the doorways, some waving and others throwing kisses. Needless to say the same affectionate salutations were returned by the bat tery boyt. At Manhattan a number of Mexi cans were working on the section. "We're going to get yocr brothers," some of the boys shouted. The Mexicans didn't look up. They worked hard. Their foreman lauslied, walked over to the train and said: 'Those fellows have worked hard er during the ten minutes you boys have stood on the sidetrack than they ever did in their lives." Sandwiches, lemonade and pie ga lore were supplied on the train from the mess headquarters stationed in a box car on the front of the train Whenever the train was sidetracked the mess men rushed to the passen ger coaches and distributed sand wiches and lemonade. The rear coach tarried Adjutant General C. I. Martin, Colonel Wilder Metcalf, Captain Hugh Mains, Law rence; Captain Albert H. Krause. Lawrence, and Captain James Nain smith, staff officers of Colonel Met calf. Capt. Frank E. James is in charge of Company M. He is teacher in engineering at Kansas university. Captain Mains was in California when the mobilization orders were issued. At 10 o'clock four more recruits arrived from Topeka. They are: Mar ion P. Snyder. Oskaloosa; Gilbert Davis, Burlingame; Cecil L. Wool worth and E. R. Coon, NortonvlUe. Reservation Notes. Oskaloosa is furnishing its full quo ta of men. About 5 o'clock thirty lads from the Jefferson county town appeared and were attached to Com pany B. Topeka mothers should fear only one calamity their boys will lose their hair. Compulsory barber shops, introduced by a Wichita company, are in vogue in every company now-; Not even a barber school education is needed. They catch a lad, throw him to the ground and clip his hair In a manner anything but artistic. Maybe there won't be any time for a compulsory barber shop in Battery A today. Officers talked as though drilling would begin in earnest. That is all being decided now at a confer ence between ranking officers of the guard and regular officers. The con ference is being held in Fort Riley. After it is ended there will be a com plete understanding as to the duties for and the part to be played by the government and state. The most wonderful story, a true one at that. Is told on a musician in one of the Second regiment companies. He was in Toronto, Canada, when the call came and had just $1.50 in his pocket. He took the "bumper" route and beat his company to Fort Riley. Brakemen caught him time and again. "I tell you," he would exclaim, "that I'm on my way to Kansas to Join my regiment-" "Hop to it, my lad," they replied invariably. He was not kicked off once and made the best freight train connections in the country. The lola Signal corps company de serves credit. It was recriuted to twenty-five men over war strength. And at Humboldt, nine miles south of lola, a full machine gun company of fifty-odd men was recruited with some to spare for a company of mounted scouts.

MOBILIZATION KANSAS GUARD COMPLETE TODAY Troops Ready to More on Six Honrs' Notice. Twenty-Two Hundred Men Are in Fort Kiley. BEGIN GOVERNMENT TRANSFER Capper Will Rerlew Troops Monday, It Is Said. Hundreds of Visitors Expected in Camp Sunday. National Guard Camp. Pawnee Flats. Fort Riley, Kan., June 24. Mobilization of Kansas National Guardsmen is completed. Twenty- two hundred men are encamped here. Today army officers began adminis tering the federal oath and transfer- ring the men from state to govern ment service. Providing the govern ment wishes to waive physical ex amination of the men until they reach training camp on the border, the troops are ready to entrain at six hours' notice. Officers in the medical corps began the physical examination of the men this morning. Nine officers are in charge of the work and it takes about fifteen minutes to examine each man. The men are sworn into the govern ment service first and given the physical examination afterwards. Officers began drilling recruits this morning. Issuing equipment to men was completed today. This morning about 260 recruits were in civilian clothes. They enlisted shortly before their companies began to entrain and there was not enough time to issue their equipment before going into camp. Adjt. Gen. C. I. Martin, in command of the troops, said today the onlv or ders he has is to expedite getting the men in snape to move any time thev may be called. It is believed in the camp the men will entrain Monday or Tuesday. rne state has used all Its peaco equipment, all it is allowed, and it is now up to the government to take the men. It is probable Governor Capper win not review the men until Monday, was said today. Sunday, hundreds of visitors from all over the state are expected in tV. camp, tne majority from Topeka. Several hundred horses for use of men and officers and for Battery are expected to arrive in the camp Monday. Battery A has the only horses in the camp now. Transferring the men to the govern ment'service was in full swing this afternoon. Regulations about the camp were tightened. The members of Battery A and sev eral infantry companies were allowed to go to town after tobacco, writing materials and other necessities. It was the gossip among officers and men that the troops may not leave Fort Riley until Wednesday because of the length of time it will take for the physical examination of the troops. There was no official order to that effect, however. James Going, an officer in the state quartermaster's corps, which will be forced to remain in Kansas, on orders from Washington, was commissioned second lieutenant in Company I Wichita. There will probably be other cnanges in tne personnel of the guard otticers because of the physical re quirements. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT Chicago. June 24.

Ameri can columns have been seen advancing from the American Held base in the direction of San Antonio and Ojo Ca liente and Gen. Jacinto Trevino has issued orders to attack them if they do not immediately retreat. General Trevino said the Americans would get the same treatement that they received at Carrizal, as he is de termined to carry out his orders to the letter. In this, he said, he had all his subordinates with him and they will stick with him in case of a rupture. The Mexican commander said today that it seemed probable, inasmuch as General Pershing seemed ignorant of the fate of the Boyd column, that out side of five additional prisoners now being brought here, the Americans were annihilated, although it was pos sible more had escaped. General Pershing has wired here for the namos of the dead and the prisoners. It was officially announced that none of the prisoners brought here will be hanged. that "not being the custom of a civil ized country." May Be Belief Expedition. EI Paso, June 24. Army officers here believe that the column bound for Ojo Caliente, which General 'tre vino has threatened to attack, prob ably is composed of the troops com prising the relief expedition sent to Carrizal. Ojo Caliente is about forty miles southwest of Villi Ahumada. San Antonio is fifty miles southeast of Namiquipa, and the mission of the column proceeding in that direction is not known here unless it be to search for bandits.

SEIZE Mexican Soldiers Take Ten Re fugees From Train. one of Them Have Been Heard From Since Captnred. Laredo, Tex., June 24. Ten Ameri cans were taken from a train on the National railway by a detachment of Mexican soldiers on Wednesday, ac cording to passengers arriving here. That was the last seen or heard of tfcem. The train, crowded with refugees, left Mexico City on Tuesday. It had proceeded to Gonzales station, accord ing to oMther Dolores, superioress of a convent at the Mexican capital, who led a party of seven nuns to the border when it was boarded by a detachment of troopers. There were eight or ten Americans on the train, and they were at once set upon by the soldiers and after being jerked about and several knocked down, were forced at the end of the rifle to accompany the military band. Feeling in Mexico City. Mother Dolores added that feeling against Americans is at fever heat in Mexico City. She described the wild anti-American demonstration of last Friday, when, inflamed by speeches by Carranza and his war minister, Obre gon, the capital mob rioted through the streets crying for "death to the gringoes. Carranza, she said, ques tioned the honesty of purpose of the United States in his speech, while Obregon shouted epithets against Americans. Seeing several nuns in the crowd, he shouted: "If we do not win against the 'grin goes,' we will massacre the priests and nuns in Mexico City. Promise to Release Fifty. Washington. June 24. Release of fifty or more Americans in the Guana juato colony from Carranzista deten tion was promised today by Mexico City authorities, according to a tele gram from Consul Rodgers to the state department. GORE AND REED CLASH Bill In Senate to Increase Pay of En listed Men. Washington. June 24. Objection by Senator Gore blocked immediate con sideration in the senate today of a bill Introduced by Senator Reed to in crease the pay of erlisted men of the national gvard while in the federal service tc $30 and resulted in a bitter exchange between the two senators. Senator Gore declared to pass such a measure was to capitalize patriotism and notify the militiamen that they would be regarded as "sunshine pa triots." This drew a vigorous denunciation from the Missouri senator who said it was unworthy of his colleague to sit behind a mahogany desk and sneer at young men in khaki uniform pre paring to defend their country. The resolution was referred to the military committee. Would Increase Army Bill. House ler.ders concerned over fin ancing military movements growing out of the Mexican emergency are planning today an increase of $20,000, 000 in the pending army appropriation bill. Representative Hay. chairman of the military committee, said after a conference with Secretary Baker and other administration heads that the increase would be urged nexr week. BY RTOTARD KIPUG. (Copyright. London, June 24. This war is like an Iceberg. We, the public, only see an eighth of it above water; the rest is out of sight and, as with the berg. one guesses at its extent by the great blocks that break off and shoot up to the surface from some underlying outrunning spur a quarter of a mile away. So. with this war, sudden tales come to light which reveal unsuspected a& tivittes in unexpected quarters. One takes it for granted that such things are always going on somewhere, but the actual emergencies of. the record is always astonishing. Once upon a time there was a cer tain E-type of boats that worked in the Sea of Marmora with thorough ness and humanity, for the two, in English hands, are compatible. The road to their hunting grounds was strewn with peril, the waters they in habited were full of eyes that gave them no rest and what they lost or expended in the wear and tear of the chase could not be made good till they had run the gauntlet to their base again. The full take of their impro visations and make-does will prob ably never come to light, though frag- ments can be picked up at intervals in the proper places as the men con cerned come and go. Bones of Story. The admiralty gives only the bones but those are noc so dry of the boats' official story. When the E-14, Commander E. Courtney Boyle, went to her work In the Sea of Marmora, she, like her sister, "proceeded" on a gas engine up the aDrdanelles. And a gas engine by night between steep cliffs has been described by the lower deck as a full brass band in a railway cutting.' So a fort picked her up with a search lightb ut missed her with its artil lery. She dived under a mine field that guarded the straits and when she rose at dawn in the narrowest part of the channel, which is about one mile and a half across, all the forts fired at her. The water, too, was thick with steamboat patrols, out of which the E-14 selected a Turkish gunboat and gave her a torpedo. She had just time to see a great column of water shoot as high as the gunboat's mast when she had to dip again as "the men in a small steamboat were leaning over trying to catch hold of the top of my periscope." This sentence, which might have come out of a French ex ercise book, is all Lieutenant Com mander Courtney Boyle sees fit to tell and the officer will never understand why one taxpayer at least demands his arrest alter tne war till he shall have given the full tale. How Was It? JJia he sight the shadowy under- line of a small steamboat showing green through his headlight or did she suddenly swim into vision from behind and obscure, without warning, his periscope with a single brown clutching hand? Was she alone or one of a mob of splashing shouting small craft? He may well have ben too busy to noteg ro there ware patrols all around his, a mine field of curious de sign and undefined area somewhere in iront and steam trawlerse vigorously sweeping for him astern and ahead and when the E-14 burrowed and bumped and scraped through six hours of blind death she found the Sea of Marmora crawling with craft and was kept down almost continuously and grew hot and stuffy as a conse quence. Nor could she charge her bateries in peace, so at the end of an other hectic which is bad for the temper she decided to quit these in fested waters near the coast and charge them somewhere off the traf fic routes. This accomplished after a long hot run which did the motors no good, she went back to her beat, where she picked up three destroyers convoying a couple of troop ships, but it was glassy calm and the destroyers "came ior ra;, &ne got off a long rang range torpedo at a transport and ducked before she could judge the re sults. She apologizes for this, on the grounds that -one of her periscopes was damaged. not, as one would ex pect, by gentlemen leaning out of lit tle steamboats, but by some casual shot the caliber is not specified on the day before "and so," says the E-14, I could not risk my remaining one being bent." Heard a Thud. However, she heard a thud and her depth guages, those great clock handd on white face circles, "flicked," which is another sign of dreadful certainty down under. When she rose again she saw a de stroyer convoyins one burning trans port to the nearest beach. That aft ernoon she met a sister boat; now gone to Valhalla, who told her that she was almost out of torpedces and they arranged a rendezvous for the next day, but "before we could communi cate further we had to dive and I did not see her .iFain." There mustbe many such meetings in the trade under, all skies, boat ris ing by boat at a pjrnt agrjed upon for the interchange of news, materi als and talk shouted aloud, with the speaker's eyes always on the horizon and all nands standing by to dive in the rr.idJle of a sentence. The E-14 kept to her job on the edge of the procession of traffic. The patrol boats annoyed her to such an extent that was I had not seen any transports lately, I decided to sink a patrol ship, as they are always firing on me." So she torpedoed anything that looked like a mine layer. A tramp steamer lumbering across the I dead flat sea was thoughtfully headed back to Constantinpole by the nnng of rifles ahead of her. "We were un der fire the whole day," the E-14 ob serves, philosophically. The nature of her work made this inevitable, hne was all among the patrols, which kept her down a good dal and made tier draw on her batteries and when she rose to charge them, watchers ashore burned oil flames on the beach or made smokes among the hills, accord ing to the light. In either case, there would be a general rush of patrolling craft of all kinds from steam lauches to gunboats. No Love for Trade. Nobody loves "the trade," though the E-14 did several things which made her popular. She led off a strong of very surprised shows (they were empty) in charge of a tug, which promptly fled back to Contantinople, and stopped a couple of steamers full of refugees, also bound for Constant inople, who "were very pleased at be ing allowed to proceed" instead of be ing Luistaniaed as they expected. An other refugee, fleeing from goodness knows what horror, she chased into Rodosto harbor, where, though she did not see troops, they opened a heavy rifle fire on us. hitting our boat several times, so I went away and chased two more small tramps. Transports, of course, .are fair game and in spite of the necessity she was under of not risking her remaining eye, the E-14 got a big one in a night of wind and made another hurriedly banish itself, which then opened fire on her, assisted by the local popula tion. "We returned the fire and pro- ceded," says the E-14. The diversion of returning fire is one much appre ciated by the lower deck as furnish ing ap leasant break in what might otherwise be a monotonous and odori ferous task. There is no drill laid down for these evolution but etiquette and custom prescribe that in going up the hatch you are not too energetically to prod the next man ahead with the muzzle of your rifl.e Likewise, when descend ing in quqick time before the hatch closes, you are requested not to jump directly on the head of the next below. Otherwise, you act "as requisite" on your own initiative. Wheo she had used up all her tor pedoes, the E-14 prepared to go home by the way she had come there was no other and was chased toward Gal lipoli by a mixed pack composed of gunboats, torpedoboats and tugs. "They shephered me to Galliopli, one on each side of me and one astern, evidently expecting me to be caught uy me nets mere. She walked very delicatelv for the next eight hours or so down the straits running under the strong tides, uuumiig uuwn wnen tne lire from the forts was too hot, verifying her posi tion and the position of the mine field, but always taking notes of everv shin in sight till, towards tea time she saw our navy off the entrance and "rose to the surface abeam a Freanch battle ship, who gave us a rousing cheer.'

Seanel to "Damaere Goods" Story Told in Conrt. Washington, June 24. With reports at hand that nearly the entire Ameri can cavalry command of about 100 soldiers may have been annihilated in the fight at Carrizal Wednesday grave fears were expressed in official circles today that not even diplomatic rep resentations from Mexico City can pre vent open hostilities between the United States and Mexico. Up to late last night only seven survivors of the Carrizal battle had returned to their base in General .Pershing's column and they brought no definite word of the others' fate. In preparation for- early develop ments of a serious nature, technical barriers had been removed to allow national guard units from all over the country to be dispatched to the bor der as soon as each is ready. War Ocpartment Issues Rush Order. Secretary Baker had issued orders urging extreme haste and final action was assured by congress today to al low President Wilson to draft Imme diately for service either in or out of the United States all national guards- ?n who subscribed to the new oath. The "ay resolution containing this authorization, adopted by the house yesterday was before the senate to day with virtual assurance that it would be approved. President Wilson still awaitea a final report from General Pershing on the Carrizal clash, but army officers said it might be another day or two before this arrived. General Persh ing's official report probably will be based on the accounts either of offi cers of the troops which encountered the Mexicans or of the cavalry squad ron which has been sent cut in search of the combatants. Admiral Winslow, commander of the Pacific fleet, also hps been ordere l to make a full report scon on the Ma zatlan incident. Evidence now avail able from American sources seems to shew that in both the Mazatlan and Carrizal clashes Carranza authorities precipitated the fighting. At Carrizal it appears the assault was treacherous and without warning DINNERSTORIES. Eugene was a very mischievous little boy and his mother's patience was worn to the limit.

For on the next train she left In company with Mrs. S. H. Abbott, matron of the county jail, for the ttate hospital for epileptics at Parsons. Mrs. James was declared insane after a hearing in probate court which brought to light what Judge Maci ar- land considers the saddest story of human events he has listened to in his court room. Hers was the story of disease, insanity and death told in probate court the other day. Briefly, the evidence was that as Lulu James she married a veteran of the Spanish American war; that from him she contracted a loathsome disease; that she gave birth to the boy and that through carrying for the boy the wife's mother contracted the disease and after seven years o fsuffering. died. Lulu James has suffered for eleven years and is now dclared in sane. The boy is mentally defective. Taken to County JaiL After the mother had been declared insane she was taken to the county jail and the boy to the detention home, just north of the jail. That night the boy heard his moth er at an upper window and walked over to the jail. "Mamma, Mamma," he called. She went to the window. "Are you lonesome?" asked the boy. "Don't be lonesome. There is my window right over there with the light in it. I'll be there all night and if you get lonesome, mamma, just re member I'm over there thinking about you."

"I don t want tne mux, tne momer told the matron, "but I'll drink it be cause my boy bought it with his own money." The boy was allowed to see his mother again just before she was taken to the train. She had worried about him all night. "Wilbert." she said, "this looks like the parting of the ways for mamma and her boy." "Oh, mamma, it can't be," sobbed the boy. "I can't get along without you." Asked Her Dead Mother. "Boy," replied the mother, her hand on his head, "I saw my mother again last night and she wrote on the wall in letters of black chiffon, 'It would not be best.' That was in answer to my question about having you with me." The boy dried his tears but held to his mother. She was dry-eyed and calm. "Mrs. Abbott," she said, "you or some one must see that this child has treatment that will make him right. It is through no fault of his that he is not normal. He must not grow up to be another Bissell and cause the loss of some innocent life. When I am gone, won't you see that he has a chance Then she turned to the lad. "Oh, boy." she said, "you must go now. Tell your mother goodbye. You have been so good to me and now I can't do anything for you. Be a sue didn t finish, but turned away.

What Is Fonnd In a Folder Issued in 1S78. RATES TWICE WHAT THEY ARE Round Trip to Denyer and Re turn Cost $38. Men Whose Jfames Appear Dead or Gone Elsewhere. A folder worn with age and almost ready to fall to pieces Is being pre served by officials in the passenger de partment of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway. The old time table, issued in 1878, when the Santa' Fe was an infant, is said to be the only one of its date in existence. Cover of old Santa Fe folder issued In 1878. The Atchison, Topeka Santa. Fe at the time the folder was issued was confined to territory within Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas and just over the Missouri line. Eastern terminals of the line were Pleasant Hill, Mo., Kansas City and Atchison. Its west tern terminals, were Leadville, Col., Denver and Santa Fe, N. M. Four branch lines were operated in Kansas a early as 1878, the folder shows. One line operated from Em poria to Howard City. Two lines started out of Florence. A northern branch from Florence extended to Mc pherson. A southern short line ran to Eldorado. The fourth branch ran out of Newton and went south through Wichita to the little town of El Paso, where it branched again, one line run ning through Belle Plaine, Welling ton and Caldwell, and the other through Winfield and Arkansas City. Advantages of Kansas. Regarding the advantages Kansas had to offer homeseekers the folder announced: "As an agricultural state Kansas rapidly is taking the leading place in the union. Its development is without a parallel in the history of food-producing states. In 1866 it ranked twenty-fourth in agricultural products. In 187S.it stands first in wheat pro duct and fourth in corn, while as yet there is but one-eighth of its ter ritory under cultivation. "The population of the state in 1870 was 364,399; in 1878, 708.497, and on January 1, 1879, by estimation, 850. 000, or an increase of 133 per cent in eight years. "The state is virtually out of debt. Its government is honestly and eco nomically administered. No other state has made better provision for its edu cational and moral interests one eighteenth of all the land in the state being devoted to the education of its children. Had 250 Newspapers. "Kansas now has 4,520 school houses, 6,859 teachers employed, 664 church edifices, 2,114 church organi zations and 250 newspapers. "The wheat harvest of Kansas in 1878 yielded 32,315,358 bushels and the corn crop aggregated 89.324,971 bushels. The total value of all cronn and other farm products of the state ior J.SS amounts to 69,677,067.31." In 18,78 the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway made connections with eight stage lines in Kansas. Three stage connections were made in Colorado and two in New Mexico. Kansas points from which stages operated were Osage City, ElDorado, Wichita, Hutchinson, Sterling, Great Bend, Lamed, SDearville- and Dodge City. Denver, C-jjon City and Ala mosa were Colorado points where stage connections were made. In New Mexico stages made connections with the line at Las Vegas and Santa Fe. Bates Twice as High. That rates have decreased since the issuance of the 1878 folder is evident from announcement of excursion rates that then were considered unus ually attractive. In big, blackface type it is announced that round-trip tickets from Kansas City to Denver, under a special tourist rate, could be obtained for $38. Tourist rates now effective are less than half that fig ure. Every official whose name appeared on the old folder has since died or gone to another road. Among the old railroaders who were with the Santa Fe in 1878 were W. F. White, general passenger and ticket agent at Topeka; Maj. T. J. Anderson, then general agent at Denver, and at one time mayor of To peka; W. Ft. Peabody, general agent at Atchison; John L. Truslow. gen eral agent at Kansas City: W. W. Lord, jr., traveling agent, St. Louis, Mo.; Sam B. Hynes. general agent, St. Louis, Mo.; John Sebastian, traveling agent, later vice president of the Rock Island Lines; J. M. Eddy, general agent, Chicago, and C. A. Seymour, general passenger agent. New Tork. Fifty vocations are taught in the United States navy.

John Duncan, who was arrested by the pool ice on a charge of burglary, now turns oat to be a long wanted thief. Hundreds of dollars' worth of fine articles were found upon his premise at Sixth and Spruce streets. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Mills are parents of a daughter, born yesterday. A meeting of prominent business men was held at the board of trade rooms last uipht on the invitation of Col. Willis Brown of Lawrence, who pro poses to start a military school in or near Topeka. Rain poured down in sheets on the white tents at Oakland this morning. It dribbled through the tents where the branches touched the canvas and woke here and there a sound sleeped by send ing a stream down his or her neck. Most of the tenters were content to remain indoors. Mrs. Johnson, wife of Judge J. B. Johnson, has one of the largest and handsomest tents on the grounds. Mrs. Johnson said "We wouldn't have enjoyed the Chautauqua at all if it had not rained." John E. Limeburner has gone to Sweet Springs for a few days. If noise and excitement mean any thing Mrs. Woodworth's meeting at City park are eminently successful. The tent is three hundred feet from Kansas avenue yet when the "revivai' art begins the noise and shooting can b heard in North Topeka. Last night she had a crowd of fifty or sixty around the altar. One little woman, quite aged, walked up and down the aisles shrieking at the top of her voice and swinging her arms carelessly. Occasionally she struck some innocent bystander in the face if he got too close. AT THE THEATERS At the Orpheum. The Orpheum'a regular line of pic tures will be given again next week, the bill for the first half of the week being "Sorrows of Love." Bessie Bar riscale and William Desmond are given equal prominence in the play. The program will be finished with a Keystone comedy. Today and tonight. Norma Talmadge will be seen for the last performance of "Going Straight."' At the Iris. Five plays are scheduled to come to the Iris next week beginning with "Destiny," in which a new Paramount star, Louise Huff, is featured. The real sensation of the Iris bill next week is the presentation of the new star, Mary MacLaren, in the film version of Jare Addams's story, "Shoes." This drama will be shown Tuesday. Victor Moore comes Wednesday in "The Clown," a comedy drama. Thursdav will be "Whispering Smith," and Theda Ban will hold the center of attraction for two days, Friday and Saturday, in "East Lynn." OPPOSES ANNEXATION German Chancellor Endorses Reich stag Socialist's Recent Speech. London, June 24. An Amsterdam dispatch to the Exchange Telegram company says the German chancellor, Dr. Von Bethmann Hollweg, has i-ub-lished a statement in the semi-official North German Lloyd Gazette that he endorses the speech delivered at Breslau, Jime 20. by Philipp Scheide mann, a Socialist member of the reich stasr. in which Sheidemann asserted Sixty Yesrs the Standard 'mm Uade from cream of tartar derived from grapes.

The chancellor has been challenged to discredit Scheidemann's speech. MONEY MARKET STABLE War Excitement Makes No Stir In Financial or Industrial Circles. New Tork, June 24. Dun's Review today says: With the economic structure, through the better organization of banking resources, credits and indus try, resting on a more solid founda tion than ever before, confidence is unimpaired by the international con tingencies. It is noteworthy that speculative markets nave been only moderatsly disturbed and money and legitimate enterprise not at all. though prudence is shown in extending com mitments further ahead. This is a wholesome tendency and the readjust ment of prices now in progress in some lines will also prove beneficial in its ultimate effects. Constructive developments still pre dominate in theb usiness world and remarkable activity prevails at a peri od which o.-dinarily is one of the qui etest of the yar.

Over $170,000 has been raised to date- The campaign in Topeka will be under the direction of President E. F. Pihlblad, who will arrive tomorrow. Prominent Swedish business men of the city have formed an organization called the Topeka Business Men's committee, which will assist President Pihlblad in the direction of the cam paign.

Ericson, J T. Brink and Ed Bowman. Bethany college was founded In 1881 by the late Carl Swensson, one of the most prominent Swedish-Amer- leans in the United States. Its first quarters were in an old frame school house and its resources were practi cally zero. In ten years the atten dance had grown so fast that the college found itself paying interest on a debt of $80,000. Through heroic efforts on the part of Dr. Swensson, the debt was lifted. At the time of its founding the col lege had an enrollment of 27 stu dents. At present there are more than eight hundred, with a faculty of nearly fifty. The school has received national ad vertisement by reason of its musical advantages. Its annual Spring Fes tival at which The Messiah is sung by a chorus of 2,000 voices, attracts thou sands of music lovers from all parts of the state. Its art department is considered one of the strongest in the west. It is un der the direction of Birger Sandzen whose peculiar individuality as a painter has won him wide fame among American artists. The institution has had a steady erowth since its founding and the en dowment campaign is to afford still better advantages to the students.

STORE HOUSE IS EMPTY Army Warehouse Cleaned Ont and Emergency Orders on Hand. An appeal for the assistance of every man. woman and child in Topeka,. in properly caring for dependents of the members of Battery A and the Sec ond Regiment band, was made by the executive committee of the Citizens' 1,000 club. These are the members of the committee: W. W. Webb, Mayor J. V. House. Fred Voiland, Dr. H. L. Clark. C. L. Mitchell, J. R Burrow and P. J. Monaghan The appeal fol- i lows: i "The Citizens' 1,000 Club of Topeka, Kansas, solicits the assistance of every man, woman and child to make it pos sible to care properly for the wives, mothers and families Kit Battery A and Second Regiment band boys, who need help. The committee in charge want it understood that a contribution of 10 cents or more will gladly be accepted at any of the banks in the name oi The Citizens' 1,000 ClUD oi lopena, Kan.," and pledge blanks will be pro vided in the daily newspapers where by those who feel that they want to help will pledge to pay so much a month. The amounts already subscribed are not just single contributions but are amounts which have been pledged each month as long as help is needed for those dependent on the members of these national guard organizations, who need assistance. While these boys who departed Fri day are our heroes, yet in many cases the real heroes are the wives and mothers who have been left to fight their own battles. These boys, to do their duty to their country, have left them without any means of support. Many of them have left wives with large families 'of children. They are not objects of charity they are our heroes, of whom we are and should be justly proud, and it is up" to us as cit izens of Topeka and citizens of the state of Kansas to see to it that they do not want in any way whatever, and knowing that every one will want to do his part, the committee has made the ruling that contributions from 10 cents up will be gladly accepted. A 10 cent contribution entitles one to membership in this 1,000 Club just the same as a contribution of 3100 will. Many monthly contributions have been pledged by wies and chil dren of different citizens already. We want these contributions to be made as much as possible in the nature of monthly pledges, so we will know how much to count on, for this fund must be maintained until relief is either provided by the government or ov the state at the coming session of the leg islature, in case our boys are on duty so long. Don't forget for a minutes that tnese boys are fighting your battle, aim me least we stay-at-nomes can do is to help care for those who are dependent upon them.

Colonel Stanley said the orders he now has "have cleaned us out com pletely," and that while vast stores have been ordered a shortage for few days is almost a certainty.'

Throughout the day trucks bearing great quantities of food and other supplies have shot out of Columbus along the southward trail.

Soldiers and civilians rushed to the office of the command ant, but no confirmation of the in formation could be obtained there. Hourly Expect Battle. From truck drivers and refugees coming in from the frail of the Persh ing column it was learned that the Namiquipa base and every suo-Dase is holding itself under orders day and night for anticipated engagements. Mexican troops were sighted scouting along the American line of communi cation. This was taken to indicate they were seeking a weak point of at tack. A detachment of cavalry was dispatched to reconnoiter, but the Mexican force disappeared. Twelve hundred cowboy cavalrymen dashed into town on their little desert ponies and offered themselves as rough riders, ready to meet any emer gency. Thoy had been recruited by W. M. Hanson of Deming from prac tically every community in the state. Governor McDonald of New Mexico also held a conference with Adjt. Gen. H. T.

June 24. Relations Mwwn the United States and the de f-to government of Mexico are close to the breaking point today us a re sult of the apparently well founded ler?ef that American cavalrymen were massacred Wednesday at Carrizal by ferranza .soldiers, secretary Lansing anfl linker were early at the White H. today conferring with Presi dent Wilson. It is known the possibility .f .irnstic retaliatory action anainst th. Mexican forces in Chihuahua was given Krae consideration. If the Carranza government accepts responsibility for the attack at Car rizal It is considered virtually certain I. v officials that occupation of most of northern Mexico will be ordered by President Wilson to take place as rap i.lly as the necessary military forces can be placed at the disposal of Gen eral Kunston. Action must await fur ther reports from General PershinB. Will lH-maiKl Repudiation of Act. It is believed the first act of the V-ishlngion government, when fuller information is at hand, will be to de rminfi repudiation of the attack by the Crrranti govenir.ert; preliminary re ports have convinced officials here that the American troops were deliberately- led into the trap. The only auction remaining to oe settled, it is indicate.:, is whether the Carranza !torr im.'nt ordered the attack or it w.ii tl.e work of a subordinate officer. In-he latter evert, unqualified repu i:rfion of .ris r.ct ar.d immediate sur render of prisoners probably will be clrnawU'il. tJ.neraI Gomez, Carranza ooronn ler pt Currizal. was killed in acffori. according Mexican reports.

Wrk of getting Americans out of Mexico has proceeded rapidly. Within H week, according to present indica tions, there will be very few remaining there. Navy ships are hastening to every important port to pick them up. A eordon of ships for this purpose has been established on both coast.

PROUDJF MEN General Martin Says Men Ready Asks for Munitions. Troops Learn How Hot Kansas Sun Can Get. Fort Riley, Kan.. June 24. Ninety four Kansas guardsmen encamped here have a very clear idea of what work is. If they didn't know it be fore they reached Fort Riley they know today and they know just how hot a Kansas sun may get. They learned today. "These troops are going to the bor der as fit and efficient as it is pos sible for us to make them," Brig. Gen. Charles I. Martin, commanding the camp, said today. "I believe right now they are as ready to go to the front as it is possible for national guardsmen to be. Kansas has every reason to be proud of her soldiers." There la no sickness in camp, at least nothing more than possible sun burn and blisters, which General Mar tin does not hold in sufficient esteem as a real man'B illness, to have written into the sick list. The Fort Riley en campment has no sick list. General Martin has not seen one and after re viewing his men he believes there is no reason to think there may be one. The troopers got a hard long taste of army drill today four hours of it. They drilled in companies, in squads, in battalions, ana went through the manual of arms. "Rookies" were forced to learn the more elementary drills such as "right about," "facings," "marching," and the other little de tails that are necessary in the making of a trained soldier. It isn't easy work, but it has to be learned. Some of it was done with full equipment, consisting of about forty pounds, in an endeavor to in ure ths men to marching. Army regulations prescribe marches not to exceed three or four miles the first day a command goes into camp. "The men are in excellent condi tion," General Martin added. "They are well equipped. The officers have their mounts and all the troops have their uniforms. Some ammunition has been served to them and the ordnance department has been requisi tioned for more."

Two HolJ-Ups in as Many Mghts Near Same Place. Two hold-ups. negotiated by three highwaymen. in two consecutive nights, within four blocks of each other, have stirred up the police de partment and there were several book ings for "investigation today. G. 1. Strickler, employed in 'the German American State bank, was held up by three men Wednesday night on Eighth and Western avenues. He was relieved of 7 and a gold watch. Two of the men carried revol vers and the third. an unusually short man, went through his pockets. "They almott crowded me off the sidewalk as I went past them," said Strickler, "and I had pone not more than a block when one of them told me to put up my hands. I thought some one was joking, but when 1 looked back -two of them had revolv ers pointed at me and at the second command I put up my hands.. One stepped at each side while the third, a short man who looked like he might have about a week' growth of beard on his face, went through my pockets and looked at my hands for rings. I believe I could identify the short man. The other two were better dressed, but I did not get a good look at them." George Bainter, 815 Topeka avenue, was held up Thursday night on Eighth and Topeka avenues. He was not rob bed because he put up a fight. He was within a few doors of his own home when he noticed three men walking ahead of him. They halted and stepped to both sides of walk. Bainter walked between them and one ordered him to thrown up his hands while the other seized him. Bainter says he knocked the speaker down and turned upon the other when the third hit him on the head with some instrument. Bainter ran to his home and the third followed almost to the house. The description is about the same in both cases. The Wednesday night holdup was about 10 o'clock and the one Thursday night was about 11 o'clock. No one has been charged officially with taking part in the holdups. REMAIN AT HOME Guardsmen With Families Left Out of the Service. Senate Committee Cuts Out $1,000,000 Belief Clause. Washington, June 24. Stripped of iis i,uuu,uuu reiiei provision for fam ilies of militiamen, the senate mill. tary committee today ordered favor ably reported the Hay resolution adopted by the house yesterday to authorize the drafting of the national guard into thv service of the United States. A s-ubstifute for the relief provision directs that militiamen having dependent families should be discharged at once. The senate committee also eliminated the provision that the militiamen to be drafted into the regular service should serve "not exceeding three years" thus providing that they shall remain in service "for the period of the emergency." As passed, the meas ure stands virtually as it first was in troduced in the house. Senator Chamberlain, chairman of -the com mittee announced that he would report the amended resolution later today and would ask unanimous consent for its immediate, consideration and adop tion. The committee was practically unanimous in voting to eliminate the il, 000, 000 relief section. "It is unnecessary for the govern ment to assume a burden of this kind at the outset of such a campaign," said Senator Weeks. "If there are men in the militia now who have fam ilies dependent on them they should be discharged. They should remain at home- and take care of their fami lies."

GEN, BELL MAY GROSS BORDER I'. S. Forces Move Toward Hirer to Enter Juarez. Mexicans Won't Learej Typhus Reported Breaking Out. By JI. II. STANSBURY. il I'aso. Texas. June 24. General I'.ell anl the military authorities here are momentarily expecting a report of another battle between United States triKipa a n J Mexican forces at Villa Ahum.uia. lefinite information that the 4.000 Carranza troops with artil lery from Juarez have detrained at the nearest point to the Carrizal bat tlefleiil has been received. t.iniral Bell. v The Mexican troopu were under or ders to be prepared for immediate fighting. Although intended as rein forcements for the army already in that vicinity, they disappeared from the railroad in battle formation. Cleneral Trevino, who is directing the operations of the Mexican army from Chihuahua City, has served no tice in unmistakable language that his commanders will attack without notice any force that digresses from the American line of communications. Two squadrons of the Eleventh cavalry sent to the relief of the remnant band t.f Troop" C and K. Tenth cavalry, should have reached Carrizal at day break. May' Slew? Mexican Railroads. Orders are expected here by Gen eral l'.ell to cross the Rio Grande, oc cupy Juarez and take possession of the Mexican Central and Northwestern railroads. In preparation for this step, a general movement of the brigade at Fort Bliss v;as started. Artillerymen are standing by the big 4.7 guns.-which have been mounted on the mesa back r,f w. P-;o for three davs- The march toward the river is being made in fai. shaped formation. The infantry, cavalry and mountain artil lery is spread in such a manner that simultaneous crossings will be made at a dozen points, below, opposite and al.ove El Paso if the order comes. When the Mexican officials in Juarez learned of the military activity on the American side. Consul Garcia culled the correspondents to the mid dle of the international bridge and is sued this statement: ".'ill Not Leave Juarez. "We have reports from Fort Bliss that the American military authorities expect to occupy Juarez. The military activitiy certainly indicates this must be true. We have no intention of evacuating. "If General Bell's troops attempt to occupy the town there will be a fight. Such an occurrence is to be regretted but we will not tolerate the occupation of Mexian soil under these conditions without making an effort to repel the invaders. "It is true we have sent away the greater part of our military force, but the Americans will face a civilian army that is not afraid to fight." At 6 p. m. the Mexician civilians who have been armed, h ded by the regular garrison force under the lead ership of Gen. Frinclsco Gonzales, was assembling in all streets of Juarez that lead to the two international bridges. Fear Typhus Kplilemic. Typhus, as grim of visage as war, loms up along the border in terrify ing aspect as a result of the abandon ment by the de facto government of 611 supervision of public health along the Mexican side. Reports are coming in from many b'ird-r towns that peons, vntutored in me.iical science and left helpless by their country, are falling an easy and rapid prey to the dread vnalady. In Juarez, twelve cases have been re ported. The American government has taken official cognizance of the situ ation and has dispatched Doctor Lloyd, surgeon of the public health service, to EI Paso in an effort to pre vent a typhus epidemic. Doctor Lloyd was expected to arrive here to day. He will be in complete charge of the entire border, directing the fii-'ht from this city. Eh-. John W. Tappan, who repre sents the government's department of health here, received a message from .Washington, ordering him, if jieces eary. to establish a jiealth inspection bureau at the international bridge to prevent the spread of the disease.

HALT STEAM ROLL Germans Pressing Russians Pack Berlin Claims. Russian Right Wing Sweeps on Across Galicia. Berlin, June 24. The German counter-attack against the Russians under General Brusiloff in Volhynia has now developed over a front of eighty miles, extending from Kolki on the Styr river almost to the Galiclan frontier. General von Linsir.gen's forces have enveloped the Russians, who here had driven a big bend into the Austro German lines in front and on both flanks, and now, according to all re ports reaching here, are slowly but surely pressing the Russians back all along thn line in the general direction of Lutski. Although considerably reinforced, von Linsingen is confronted here by highly superior numbers, which, how ever, have been unable to check his counter attack and start the Russian steam roller again in the direction of Kovel and Vladimir Volynski. The Russian losses here are described as enormous. Russian officers time and again led their men in desperate but fruitless charges against the German lines. The country covered by these engagements is extremely difficult, impeded by woods and swamps, and much of the fighting has been at close quarters. Austiiahs Fail to Join Forces. Tetrograd, June 24. The right wing of the Russian army, sweeping through Bukowina,, has crossed the Galician frontier, capturing the important town of Kruty. The Austrians evacuated Kruty, a city of about 10,000 inhabitants, im mediately after the capture of Visnitz, across the river, by a strong Russian detachment. It was toward Kruty that a part of General Planzer's de moralized army fled in the retreat from Czernowitz, sloping to form a junction with the main Austrian army in Galicia. More than two-thirds of the Austrian crown land of Bukowina is now in the hands of the Russians. All the agri cultural sections of the rich provinces are now bcmr.d the Russian lines. IS U-BOAT A WARSHIP? German Submarine's Call on Spain Creates Complicated Question. Madrid, June 24. El Liberal de Clares that the visit of a German sub marine to Cartagena two days ago raised a new point of international law. Germany has claimed, it says, that submarines are not subject to ex isting 'rules, having been invented since they were framed. If this view is accepted, El Liberal contends a sub marine should not De entitiea to me right of an ordinary warship to enter a neutral port provided it departs within twenty-four hours. The newspaper takes the view that the submarine was sent to Cartagena for the purpose of making a test trip and that the experiment havingy suc ceeded they will be other visits of this nature. On this account, it contends, it is indispensable that the Spanish government make known clearly whether it considers a submarine en titled to the treatment accorded to an ordinary warship. In well informed quarters it Is be lieved the submarine brought impor tant documents which the German government did not wish to trust to the ordinary modes of transportation. It is also asserted that the interned German steamship, Roma, beside which the submarine drew up on en tering the harbor, pumped a supply of gasoline into the German submersible. TO LET HUGHES RUN IT Roosevelt Win Assume No Responsi bility in Republican Campaign. New York, June 24. Colonel Roosevelt will decline to be in any way responsible for the conduct of the Hughes campaign. While he will urge Progressives to loyally support the Republican nomi nee, the colonel will insist that Hughes and his associates shall name their own national chairman and other managers and run the canvass as if he were out of it. Colonel Roosevelt has perfected and sent to the printer his letter to the Progressive national committee reaf firming his refusal of the presidential nomination and advocating cordial support of Hughes. Its points are practically identical with the forecast already printed except that "kind words' for Fairbanks have been elimi nated. The colonel concluded that he would let the Progressives run John M. Parker for vice president if they wish. Associates of Roosevelt declared that his message to the committee does not mean he will return irre vocally to the Republican party. That will depend upon events.

TO FINANCE WAR Many Look for a New. GoYern ment Bond Issue. Mexico the Sole Topic of Dis cussion on Wall Street. New York, June 24. Mexico formed almost the sole BUbject of discussion in Wall Stree this week. Among bankers there was some conjecture re specting a possible government bond issue to meet expenses connected with the mobilization of troops and mainte nance of border patrol. It was stated by competent authorities that the pending negotiations with British and French interests for new loans or cred its will be carried to a satisfactory conclusion, regardless of home re quirements. In the stock market, prices suffered a very irregular downward revision, especially in certain of the more spec ulative issues Heavy declines in shares like United States Industrial Alcohol, Tennessee Copper, and some of the other metals and specialties were due to specific causes, notably in the caso of Tennessee Copper, whose directors ordered a suspension of divi dend disbursements. Rail Orders. Rails of the better class, together with United States Steel and other stocks of recognized merit, yielded only nominally. Railroad earnings continue to show satisfactory gains over the corresponding period of re cent years, and although domestic de mand for iron ar.d steel is generally below the high pressure of the early months of the year, most mills are well booked with orders running hi to 1917. The success of the Russian move ments against Austria was more clear ly reflected in the increasing heaviness of exchange rates to the countries of the Central powers with improvement in rubles. Stirling was only slightly altered from its lower rates of last month, despite the steady accession of British gold from Canada, which now exceeds $75,000,000 with no signs -of abatement. SEND GOLD TO CANADA Mexicans to Remove Money From II. S. Make Bankers Sweep Streets. El Paso, Tex., June 24.

Cabrera and General Obregon are working together and they may seize the government. Obregon is said to be giving orders direct to Trevino and is openly boasting he will drive Gen eral .Pershing out of Mexico. Arrests of fcreign bankers and busi ness men are being made in Mexico City and those arrested are being im prisoned. Some, it is reported, are made to clean the streets. Carranza representatives in Argen tina are reported to have a deal on with German agents in Brazil by which a cargo of arms stored there by Germans in 1911 is to be purchased for shipment to Mexico. An attempt will be made to ship the arms to Yu catan. NOT LOYAL TO CHIEF Mexican Says Thousands Would Up hold Overthrow of Carranza. El Paso, June 24. Whether or not all faetions in Mexico would be drawn together by American intervention de pends entirely on whether action by the United States was directed at the Carranza government alone or at con quering and acquiring Mexican terri tory, according to Gen. Felipe Angeles, a refugee from Mexico, living in El Paso. If the United States intervenes in Mexico simply to put ah eed to Car ranza rule, then the thousands upon thousands of Mexicans in the United btates will not be attracted by the first chief's call for a united people against "a common enemy," declared General Angeles today. "But," he continued, "if the United States should intervene with a view to conquest and fight the people of Mexico as a nation, all the refugees in the United States would return to resist the invasion."

JACKSON'S OLD MEN STAGED BIG RALLY IN NINTH AND WON LAST Savages Had a 4-Run Lead But Could Not Stop the Onslaught. A few more games like the last of the Wichita series which Jimmy Jackson's old men took in a spectacular ninth inning rally, winning by the score of 9 to 7 after having gone into the inning four runs behind a few more performances like the miserable tuning was and Topeka's baseball club will be looked upon as the biggest joke the Western league ever had. L This statement is made with the full knowledge that those who are personally interested will charge this column with knocking the ball team a cardinal sin from a baseball man's standpoint. But, nevertheless, the statement reflects the sentiment of the gen eral public, it is true, and it is made with the forlorn hope that some good may come of it and that the local Western league club "may be saved from becoming a joke instead of a valuable asset as it should be and has been heretofore. Xo one can blame John Savage for the st.ue of affairs as they now exist because he undoubtedly has done everything a man could do to give To peka a good team. He is still doing it, and every loyal fan should offer up a prayer t.! the pod of baseball that his latest effort the signing of Clyde KnBlet manage the team will produce the desired result. But. aside from the fact that Savage has done his level nest, there is no consolation and no alibi to get behind One Trouble. One trouble with the teom undoubt ed y I that it is paying too much at tention to what the public thinks of it and not enough to what it s getting SSId ?o do. Some of the players have m.t vet learned that they are being paid to entertain the public and that s public actors they must expect a public panning when they do not de S; ami that the public has no time to listen to their alibis. Vv hat the puMic demands and what it must have if it 11 to continue to pay the price is performance. Victories are the on y things that satisfy; alibis only make mutters worse. Another trouble with some of the plavers who are going good is that thev have an inflated opinion of their own importance. This is n"c; ahle ii. Pitcher Hall, and while he is the best pitcher on the staff just now, unless he gets down to earth again his bearing is going to make his ser vices less valuable to the club just as sure as eating strychnine produces death. A Sad Kncling. The story of Friday's game is too "sad a tale to relate. After haying ulrved first class ball up to the ninth inning, and then to go into the last framo with a four-run lead and lose is a clisaster that shoula be buried and forgolten at soon as possible. With a pitcher who had allowed only seven scattered hits in eight m- ntngs, such a disaster seems impos 'sible. But Jimmy Jackson, the mira cle man of the league and the gamest little fighter whoever wore a uniform, proved conclusively that it was not v. .nn0a rtn.cKaihllities. Jimmy's "never-say-die" of fighting tliirit was the biggest factor in the tbrning of the trick. Although four pitchers had failed to hold the Sav ages. Jimmy never gave up and if Wichita tans could have seen him battling against the great odds that he had to face, they would have deeded him their city hall and first national bank ap a reward. tirifflth Delivered. Next to Jimmy, Dave Griffith, sec ond string catcher who was called upon to perform in the role of pinch hitter, was the big cheese in the win ning rally. Hitting for Davis in the ninth, he led off with a triple to the right field fence. Jackson followed with a single, scoring him and Hetling also singled. Fox drove one into left, scoring Jackson and Lambeth was then relieved by Henning. But "Fete" was no more effective than Ijimbfth had been and after Gray had forced Hetling at the plate and Britton had walked, Abstein sin gled into center, scoring Fox and Gray and tying the count. Litchi then sin gled, ltapps forced Britton and Grif fith, again batting, singled, driving in the winning runs. In the last of the ninth, Koestner, Wichita's fifth pitcher and Topeka's big jinx, went into the box and retired the side in order. This afternoon the St. Joe Drum mers come to start a new series, and tomorrow it is expected that the new manager the man who Is to assume the responsibility of whipping together A real team is expected to be here.

Although the Denver Bears have one foot in the second division and have never been in the race for the league leadership, the weekly aver ages show that Rebel Oakes's club has more distinguished individuals on its roster than any other club. Kelleher, of the Bears, is leading the league in runs scored, with 45, and in total bases with 108. Dyer, of Denver, is leading in home runs with 8, and Shields, of the same club, in stolen bases with 14. The highest hitting average in the league is held by a pitcher, Musser, of Des Moines, who has batted for .382. in 34 times at bat. However, the league's leading hitters continue to be Gilmore and Livingston, both of Sioux City. Gilmore has an average of .377 and Livingston. 372. Grover, formerly of Topeka, now with Sioux City, has been at bat 30 times for an average of .367. Schweitzer I.iUs Locals. This week's averages show that the Savages have dropped completely out of the .300 hitting class, Schweitzer, the club's leading batter, having an average of just .299. The second best batter on the Topeka club is Lambeth, who has an average of .276. Cochran is third with .266. The Savages con tinue to lead the league in club field ing and also remain next to the bot tom in club batting. Marty O'Toole. of Omaha, is now the leading pitcher of the league, having five victories to his credit and no de feats against him.

Baseball fans at "Weeghmann park will not have to guess whether it is hit or error here after. It was announced today that President Weeghman has adopted an idea that is likely to be copied wher ever there are electric scoreboards in stalled in the ball parks. Two of the shutters in the space used to display the batsman's number will be painted in red. On the reverse side of the upper shutter will be the letter "H" and on the reverse side of the lower shutter "E. If the scorer decides a doubtful play a hit, the operator will flash the letter "H" or if it is an er ror he will display the letter George Church (left) and Dean Matbey. George Church and Dean Mathey, who together hold the national clay court doubles championship, will have their title to defend in the national clay court tournament beginning June 24 at the courts of the Lakewood Tennis club, Lakewood, Ohio. So many brilliant youngsters have been upsetting the dope this season that there is warrant for the suspicion that Church and Mathey may be obliged to do their top stride in defense of taeir title.

New York, June 24. Old timers like to tell the story of the last battle between Kid McCoy and Peter Maher the exhibition bout during which McCoy knocked out the Irishman with one punch. Eight or ten years ago a benefit card was arranged. The promoters figured that it would add to the gaiety of the occasion if they could get on McCoy and Maher. Both practically had retired from active ring work, and so the folks behind the affair used a bit of subterfuge in making the match. An emissary went to McCoy: "Say. Kid." he said, "I understand Peter Maher's been saying that the knockout you 'scored over him in Coney Island in 1900 was a fluke. Says if he ever got another chance at you he'd knock you flatter'n a pan cake." "Pete'savs that, hey?" bellowed Mc Coy. "Why, the old stiff! Say, if I ever got another crack at him he wouldn't last five minutes." "Oh, by the way. Kid." said the tempter, as an afterthought, "there's going to be a benefit entertainment in a week or two. Would you mind go ing on for a few rounds?" liuse Successful. "Not at all," answered the Kid. "And, say. if you can do it. pet Maher for me oh. please do get Maher." And then the emissary went to Peter and nonchalantly remarked that "McCoy is around boasting about his easy victory over you in Coney Is land." Naturally. Peter flared right up. He spoke his thoughts concerning Mr. Kid McCoy, and asserted heatedly that if r;e ever got another chance at the Kid he'd bust him right in half with one punch. Then the "framer-up" dropped a remark about the benefit entertain ment and added Kid McCoy is going to donate his services. We re trying to find some one to box mm. can you suggest any one?" "Can I?" blurted out Peter. "Can I? Well, I sure car.. And his name is Peter Maher. You'll let me box him, d'ye hear?" And so the bout was made. When the ri-als entered the ring that night it wss apparent to every one that both were not in real fighting hape. Also it was noticeable that both m?n. instead of exhibiting the friendliness that usually exists be- STANDING OF THE CLUBS. .Western League. Clubs Won. Lost. Pet.

"No Rough StulT The referee brought them together and told them that the affair was to be a boxing exhibition only. "Nothing else, mind you," cautioned the referee. "Just box and take it easy. No rough stuff." "Oi hear ye," said Peter. "I gotach," responded McCoy. The gong banged and the fighters walked to the center of the ring, and began fiddling around. "Now. mind you, Peter, no slug ging," murmured Kid. "We're just boxing, see?" "That's r-.ight, McCoy, and don't yen try anything funny with me," retorted Peter. The fiddling continued. The pair circled the ring, but neithe'r offered to swing. The round was half over, without a' lead being made, when Mc Coy, fox that he always was. half turned toward the audience. He seemed unconscious of the fact that he was supposed to be fighting. Maher watched him narrowly a mo ment, figuring it was a trick. But the Kid continued oblivious to his ring foe. The Punch Slipped. Peter advanced closer and closer. This was an opening that was too good to miss. Peter, you'll remember hadn't forgotten the stigma of that Coney Is land defeat. Nor was he forgetting about what McCoy is supposed to have said about him. Revenge is quite sweet. Peter drew back the mighty right that had sent so many men into dreamland; drew it back cautiously and so as to get the full power into it when it swung. His arm shot for the kid's head with the whole weight or tne juaner Doay Demna it Dut the blow never landed. Like a streak of lightning, the Kid wheeled around. This was the chance he had craved.

The crash i was neara in an parts or tne house. A fraction of a second after the blow landed, and while Maher. although toppling, was still on his feet, McCoy turned to the audience, a quizzical smile on his fact, and shouted: "Ph. lookit, ladies and gentlemen; lookit Peter.

The biggest motor event of the year the United States will be held at Dodge City, Kan., on July 4 on th two mile dirt speedway. This is the third year for this event and it is being looked forward to by all motorcyclists all over the country. The best riders and the fastest ma chines at the command of the factor ies will be there to compete for their share of the $1,500 gold purse. Expect $20,000. Three years ago a few far sighted business men at Dodge City spent a lot of good money on this event, and their efforts have been well repaid. Last year 15,000 people witnessed thi event, and plans for this season em brace seating capacity and entertain ment for 20.000. If weather condi tions are favorable they will not b disappointed. Competition for honors this vear bid fair to be the keenest ever witnessed cn this track. The 1914 race was won by Glenn Boyd of Denver, riding an Indian. Last year Otto Walker of Oakland, Cal., won astride a -Harley-Davidson. The winnings in the big events for the past year have been pretty equally divided among the three leading makes, all of which would consider the winning of this event tho crowning victory of the season, so nothing will be left undone by the fac tories in the way of superior machines and experienced riders. Topeka Riders to Go. The Topeka Motorcycle Dealers nave circulated pamphlets concerning the race, and are promoting a lour to leave Topeka at 6 o'clock on the morning of the 2nd. This will be run in regular tour order all of the way to Dodge City by way of the Santa Fo 7ail. Keturn trip will be negotiated independently by the riders, some of whom are planning on making some good records for the ride. AH riders who plan to make the trip are requested to register at one of the motorcycle shops. There is no entry fee and no membership to be obtained.

9 ANOTHER ALAMO IS VERSION OF CARRIZAL FIGHT

Belief Grows, Band of Troopers Was Wiped Oat. PREjfENT PROPER INDV7TRIAL CANDlTiaNy PRAVE THAT NAW 17 THE TIME TABVILD THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY. EVENING, JUNE 24, 1916 0) G- Unprotected and Surrounded Their Fate Was Sealed. LIKE CUSTER'S LAST STAND No Word Yet From Pershing's Belief Expedition. It Contains at Least Fight Troops of 11th Caralry. San Antonio, June 2 4. In the shad ow the Alamo, where the deeds of Iavy Crockett. James Bowie. Colonel j Travis and Colonel Bonbam made his- tory seventy years ago, citizens of San Antonio today were convinced that an- other Alamo had heen fought last Wednesday at Carrizal by Capt. J Charles T. Boyd's troopers of the j Tenth cavalry and that the names of j Captains Boyd and Morey and Liea- I tenant Adair would go down in his- j tory alongside those of their Illustrious predecessors. Officers at southern dl- j vwsion headquarters, however, still j hoped that a complete and official re- ,.ort from General Pershing would thow that more than seven men who nave reached the main column have scaped death, wounds or capture. None, however, dispute the fact that .he fragmentary reports sho- that the ptightit the little band of Americans must have been desperate. According to these reports by the r.reteni of a parley, nearly eighty m'es ftom the nearest chance for aid, Surrounded by a tremendously su- furce. wni'e lash, swept oy uidiiu perior avoid a c an. swt(ji j and rifle f.re their horses stampeded nd I wild Mexican cavalry charge 1, down on the flank. it was i-.alized here that only a "atTcould have saved all but a few from death or capture. llrcd on in the Open, i The fracmentary reports showing that Captain Boyd hoped to avoid a clash save no indication that the American troopers occupied ground, when the battle opened, which could be readily defended, or that would af- ford protection from the raking cross- f"re to which they were subjected. I nless Captain Boyd succeeded in checking the Mexican charge and with- drawing his men to a more advantage ous position the stories on which Gen eral Pershing's reports have been based would seem to indicate to military men here that the American troopers were forced to take what shelter they could from the cacti and Band dunes of an open plain and fight it out as did Custer's men at the battle of the Little Big Horn. No further news from General Pershing arrived at General Funston's headquarters auring me nigui what befell the two equadrons of the Eleventh cavalry, sent as a relief ex Captain Boyd's command, still was un known today. No fear was felt, how ever, for the safety of this force, since it is believed here that the expedition comprised at least eight troops and was strong enough to deal with any situation which it might meet. The identity of the commander of the ex pedition is unknown here. Colonel Lockett is in command of the Eleventh cavalry with Henry T. Allen as lieu tenant colonel. Command of the ex pedition may have been entrusted to either of these officers, or to Majors Robert L. Howse. Charles A. Hebekin or Melvin W. Rowell. A cloud of militia will roll toward the border within the next few days, freneral Punston has made his plans for the disposal of the state troops mustered, or soon to be mustered, into the service of the federal government. Their destinations have not been an nounced, however, for reasons of mili tary expediency. Increase Hospital Capacity. El Paso. June 24. Preparations were being made here today to en large the base hospital at Fort Bliss lu the event of hostilities with Mexico. In addition the medical corps on sta tion here was augmented by the ar rival of a field hospital and a field ambulance corps from Fort Sill, Okla. A new hospital building has just been completed and arrangements were rrude for extra wards. Calm prevailed on both sides of the river today, although some excitement was caused by the sound of a single shot followed by bugle calls in Juarez. Mexican military authorities explained that the shooting was an accident, but that it was followed by a call to arms showed the tension under which the people are laboring. The border still clang to the hope that the entire command engaged at t amzai naa not been annihilated and that the day would bring reports from General Pershing indicating definitely the American casualties. TOWN BURNS UP Jfeedles, CaL, Flame Swept; Fire Lives Lost. Big Santa Fe Railroad Shops There Are Saved. Needles. July 24. Fire swept the desert town of Needles early today, destroying the entire business section and causing the death of at least five persons who were trapped in two ho tels which were destroyed. Several others were injured. The loss was es timated at J175.000. Fifteen business houses and four residences fell before the flames. Sev eral heroic rescues were made from the smoke filled hotel halls by firemen and volunters. Survivors were being checked over and search was being made for bodies today. Needles lies on the banks of the Colorado river at the California-Arizona boundary. The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad maintains large shops here, which were saved.

After all, nature's building material, that Is perhaps the most commonly favored and popular, namely, cobble stones, when properly used in a design are most effective, and in this example, we have a good illustration of what can be accomplished in this direc tion in connection with stucco walls, the frieze above the first story windows being of shingles. The plan of this design is most attractive in its practical arrangements, for the entire front is really one magnificent living room, and this provides for a ground floor bed room and private bath, but were the same not desired, the dining room could be placed where bedroom is shown, sleeping porch used as a breakfast room, and the bath room as a pantry. Then if the space now devoted to living room and hall were sufficient, dining room could be bedroom, present pantry bathroom and sun porch the sleeping porch. There is a full basement under the entire house, with hot water heating plant, laundry, and servants' toilet, besides the usual complement of vegetable bins, etc. An outside cellar entrance is arranged at the rear of the house; and altogether this makes a thoroughlv practical, complete and up-to-date home.

Indeed, it is not too much to say that with out this nece6sary accompaniment there would be no sun set. Sunsets, like modest young girls, are noted for their heightened color when gazed at. Their dispositions axe verv changeable and greatly affected by the weather. Nei ther have they any capacity to linger. Just when you are beginning to enjoy your sunset and wish that it might stay a little longer it has faded. New York Sua. Sri izona -AOTSS ON THE JUMP" jgy bkeciaIj extra tj. 8.

YXTB understand that George South wick, agent for stage line over at Lone Jack, has said that he would shoot us on sight. As he is a crosseyed man and doesnt know one end of a gun from the other, he had better hire a man to hit ns with the broad of a spade. A MISUNDERSTANDING. On Thursday Colonel Jackson, the founder of the new town of Red Hot, called to see ns about a page of ad vertising. During the misunderstanding over rates, he shot na through the thumb ef the right hand, and we left two brlleta In his leg- to be probed for when he got home. WITH OUR COMPLIMENTS. The editor of the Blue Grans Banner paid ns a can the other day for the first time. When we saw What a knoebkaeed, lop shouldered, homely looking cuss be was we could no longer wonder that a grizzly bear hasn't been seen within ten miles of Blue Grass within the last year.

He explained later on that be thought he was shooting at a target at Coney Island, but he did not make explana tion until a bullet had lodged in his shoulder and a second one In his leg. He won't make the same mistake! again. FORESIGHT. We bought another mountain test week, making seventeen tn all we now personally own.

NO MALICE. Wb understand that Lawyer Moss is tenimj different parties around town that we threatened his life last Mon day. What we did was to visit his office and hold a gun on his chin and warn him not to pester us with any more hbet stilts, but no threats were made. Indeed, he caved in so qmokly that no threats were necessary. We have nothing against Lawyer Mow and hope he may live for a hun dred years yet. NOTHING DOING. ivh are In receipt every day of a bushel or more of letters asking why we don't praise or pitch into the president, congress, the army or the navy or this or that thing.

Does he remember that twenty men will come rasmng into that eathV boose two hoars later and call for pancakes? Not much. Be tarns around from the table and polls a gun and shouts: ""Widder, you tend to your bnatness. Keep right on makln' pancakes aa long as you have got an ounce of Hoar.

"Cheat WANT the Brand 11 That's Known THAT'S the way one customer answered a dealer who at tempted to talk him into buying an unknown brand, which he said was "Just as Good." OF COURSE, the dealer imme diately sold him the genuine article when he realized his cus tomer knew what he wanted and was determined to have it. But the question is, Will that dealer ever have another opportunity to sell that customer the genuine ar ticle, or having annoyed him by what is sometimes considered "clever salesmanship," will the customer patronize a dealer in the future who promptly gives him what he asks for?" A PERSON is certainly justi fied in resenting a dealer's efforts to persuade him to accept "something just as good" as the article he asked for. When a cus tomer asks for an article by a spe cific name, he has a reason for wanting that particular article. Probably he has used it many times before and has found it meritorious. He may have read the advertisement in his newspa per and been convinced that that certain article would meet his re quirements. Possibly it was high ly recommended to him by his physician, or a friend. Do you suppose he will be satisfied with a "Just as Good?" DEALERS, get the reputation for carrying standard, well known merchandise. Please your customers by giving them first class service and let them know they will get what they ask for when they come into your store.
