S.rOnE Army for Mexico.


President Diaz does not believe in
limiting his military establishment.
Although the republic has long been at
peace. he is pursuing a policy Of mill
tary expansion which seems likely to
develop highly efficient system of
national defense. 1t is the desire Of
President Diaz that within two years
the Mexican government shall be able
on short notice to mobilize an army
OF 100000 thoroughly trained and per-
fectly equipped soldiers. To make this
result possible more than 100000 bows
and young men are now receiving regu-
lar daily military instruction in 1000
public schools of Mexico and the army
will be recruited from their number,
This program for the crea ton Of a
greater Mexican army is supplemented
with plans for a larger naval estab-
lishment, two vessels for which are
now under construction at the Cres-
cent shipyard. Elzabethtown, n. j.
In this development of her military re.
sources Mexico is following the natural
policy of enlightened nations. 1t Is
believed in some quarters that the in
tegrity of Mexican institutions will
be severely tested when President
Diaz retires from Office and that a
strong government. including an cffec-
tive military establishment. will be
needed to protect the republic against
serious internal disorder. 1t is DOS
sibly with view to providing for such
an emergency that the present move
ment for large and trustworthy
army has been instituted

REVOKE LICENSES
BREMERTON CITY COUNCIL Fl.
NALLY TAKES ACTION.
Not Only Clears the Leading Street.
but the Whole Town, of Saloons.
Declares All Licenses Revoked
and Will Refund Unexpired Bal
ances--Backed by Public Meeting

Bremerton. June S.-Bremerton will
be purged of the offending saloons with.
In the next "a hours, and the cause for
the placing of ban on the Puget Sound
navy yard will be removed Hereafter
1t will be misdemeanor to sell, or keep
for sale, Intoxicating liquors, and Bre-
merton will be in class by itself as a
model town, from moral standpoint,
adjacent to navy yard. The summary
navy yards prosperity was done at a
meeting of the city council Saturday
night, at which many citizens were
present.
In the presence of practically the Ell.
tire town, the council of Bremerton
Saturday night passed an ordinances
summarily revoking the license of ev-
cry saloon in the place and making it
a misdemeanor to sell or keep for sale
Intoxicating liquors. The satisfaction
Of the townspeople was keen and genu-
inc and was manifested in a hearty
demonstration after the vote was taken.
OF the five councilmen, Messre. Ward,
Kost and Deitz voted for the prohibit
ton ordinance, while the other two
members declined to vote, not because
they were opposed to cleaning out the
saloons, but on account OF the differ.
ence in view regarding the time of this
action and the manner of compensation
to the license holders.
The dominant feature of the meeting
was the determination of the citizens
to 20 the limit in the work of reform
The unanimous sentiment and the
heartiness of the expressions heard on
all sides to the effect that the saloons
must 20 at once, left no doubt in the
minds of the councilmen as TO the
wishes of the people.
They we're enthusiastic for the well
fare of their town, and the keen inter-
est they displayed arose not go much
from the motive of business expediency
as from the desire that Bremerton
should be for it's own sake and for it's
reputation in the eyes of the nation,
town thai would be a credit to itself as
the accessory of the greatest navy yard
of the Pacific. If evident sincerity is
any guarantee of practical results, Bre-
merton will at once be put in condi-
ton that should he eminently pleasing
to President Roose welt and the secre-
tary of the navy.

Lessons from the Bee.

The bee teaches us to be industrious.
No bee ever shirks his work.
He teaches us to be loyal and oberi-
ent. Bees obey and love the queen
who rules them.
They teach us to be fond of our
homes. No bee leaves his home ex-
cept for time if he can help it.
They teach us to be clean. Nothing
can be cleaner than the home of the
bee.
They show much sympathy or kind
fellow feeling for each other in dis
tress, and will never leave a friend in
trouble without trying to help him.
They are very early risers.
Thcy delight in fresh air
They are very peaceful. and seldom
quarrel or fight among themselves.

PART OF MONEY-IS
READY TO Be PAID.
Creditors Bank of Americas
Get a Part.
ELEVEN PER CENT THE AMOUNT
Apportioned Those Creditors of Bank
Who Proved Their cIaims-onIy a
Small Part of Their Losses is Thus
Made Good.

With the settlement of the old Bank
Of Americas case a day or two ago,
mention of which was made by the
Times Recorder at the time, those de-
posItcrs and other creditors who
proved their claims during the long
years of litigation will now get por-
ton of their money.
Nota great amount it is true, but
they get something.
The money now in the custody Of
Receiver t. Wheatley is to be thus
disbursed under order of the court,
and creditors who proved their claims
will get Il per cent of the same.
However, there is not a great number
of creditors of this class. Many, it
seems, did not take the precaution to
assert there claims, probably thinking
that the bank was hopelessly insolvent,
and these, of course, cannot share in
what there is left.
The three northern banks having
claims against the Bank of Amerlcus
got the greater portion of what there
was in the way of assets. The trial Of
their claims was only recently conclud-
ed, and this renders the settlement OF
the case mnch easier.
Messrs Wallis and Maynard, to whom
is due great credit for their persistent
fights in behalf of the local creditors
get about $1,000 IN fees out of this eel.
ebrated case, as has been stated.
And thus the ten years litigation is
drawing to close.
The recent decree OF the court settles
another important point of interest to
many ia Americas, and perhaps IN
other portions of the state.
The old Bank of Americas, at the
time of its collapse, owned considera
bic realty, including it's banking house
and other property. This was after
wards sold to various parties, but pend
ing litigation probably caused some OF
them to feel uneasy as to title.
The recent decree, it is understood
confirms all sales of real estate tina
have been made.
If there is any further litigation i
will be in proceedings against forme
stockholders of the old bank under tn,
personal liability clause, the old banl
charter making them liable to deposit
tors. Whether or not such proceeding
will be pushed remains to be seen.
But at all events the long litigation
begun in 1898, ten years ago, has abou
! drawn to a close.

DuNcANs SALE STARTS TO-DAY.
Entire Stock of Clothing Is Placed
On Market

Ye who have suits to buy, prepare to
buy them now, for never again in the
history of the. trade of Amer1cus will
such an opportunity be given suitors af-
ter suits. AS advertised elsewhere,
the entire stock of clothing at Dun
cans Store, and an immense stock of
tine goods it is, will be thrown on the
bargain counters this morning, the
sale to continue until the last suit is
sold. There are no finer lines of tailor
made clothing in Americus, values
ranging from $40, $125 so, $50, $50 and
$22 so per suit. But values are not
considered when the one price of $3.50
is named for this sale. The trade
knows what is meant by this annual
clothing sale at Duncan's, as hundreds
bought fine suits last January at 81. 90,
worth three times the price. This
sale, beginning today, will be like that
last year, with splendid bargains for
all. FIRST corners get first choice
at $3.50, but any suit offered today is
worth great deal more than this
price. No suits sent out on approval
at these cut prices.
