tated the GIRLS that necessitated the revoca-
ton OF the pardon was his conviction of
participating in white slave traffic"

Florence Wants Southwestern and Gives Strong Reasons
 to the Management

TUCSON. March 2S.-The visit of the Florence and Casa Grande busi- ness men to Tucson yesterday start. ed a movement which may be of wonderful advantage to this city. This movement was one for rail road connection with Florence. which city promises to throw Tucson all ot her business now going Go Phoenix. as well as four train loads of ore for the Tucson customs smelt- Ter every day. The proposition is one worth working years for ac- complishment
 Hon. Tom Weedin of the Florence boosters knew of the existence in this city of a survey made several years ago for a railroad eonnectlng Tucson, Florence and Phoenix. This survey was made through public subscription and belongs to the peo- pie of Pima, Pinal and Maricopa counties Herbert Tenny was trus- tee and the survey was entrusted to him. It was learned yesterday that the survey was still on deposit in tAsff AttAAs't'AAsa itastA atAtf2lEiA HaAEh .this city.
 l. is now the plan to have the people Of Final and Pima county and those Of Maricopa county whc will agree to it, to turn the surves over to the EI Paso & Southwestern. railroad for its use. The presen, survey of the Fl Paso x Southwest ern misses Florence by seven miles turning off toward Sacaton., Flor ence will promise enough ore out of mines within 20 miles of that city to run four trains a day to Tue son where a custom shelter is planned. It is believed that the do- nation of a complete survey and contract for so much freight will in- duce the Southwestern to take in Florence, and when this is done Tucson is guaranteed all the bus mess which Florence and the entire valley can thro wthis way.

This de gel0pment was what was chiefly feared by the United States and Is said to have led 10 the decision on the part of this government to act in forceful fashion
 The movement of trops to the border served a two-fold purpose. lt gave notice to the advisers cf General Diaz and to Diaz himself that this country would not stand any trifing. It Is positively belicy ed here that the 2O,o00 men now on the border could march, almost with out opposition, through Mevico to the capital and occupy it. Diaz has no army that could even make pretense of opposition.
 Warned Japan.
 On the other hand. it served to warn Japan that the United States was wide awake and deadly serious Those who believe that Japan is in- sidiously planning war against the United States assert that she is not yet ready to strike and .that when she does strike she wishes to take us unawares.
 Officials who are aware of the true facts are amused at the ease with which a portion ot the press has been fed to accept the diplo matic formali.ies as the true situa- ton. A high official who. within the last few months. went 10 Mexico City at the instance of President Taft, and who is conversant with ev- cry detail of the case. laughed out right at the efforts made in some Washington dispatches to dismiss the Japanese situation with only the formal announcement of a diplomatic as their basis.
 You may be sure. said this of fciaI. that President Taft will not say that he feared war with Japan If be would say such thing as that he would not be it to hold his office.
 VIII Stand Pat.
 Baron Uchida will never tell any one that Japan made a secret treaty with Mexico and then was forced to agree to it's abrogation through the dictation of Q third power.
 The annals of diplomacy are filled with instances where war has been actually declared when the diplomats of the opposing nations held each other in affectionate embraces"
 It is understood in diplomatic cir cles here that one of the features of the settlement was an agreement that no statement should be made .o the public further than that the two nations exchanged expressions of good will and friendliness. No further statement is expected.
