the city Tuesday shopping. Mr. Wright
favors The Commercial with the news
that Thos.. F, stovall is building a new
home on his farm near Crockett il
Number Seven. ]. G. Walker is also
about to complete nice new residence
in the same vicinity. Mr. Wright says
that the ladies Of the Crittendon Grove
c. p Church are making quilt, and
that this quilt is to be pieced with con-
tributions, and that each one furnishing
a piece for the quilt is entitled to have
her name worked on the piece by the
OF ten cents. When the quilt
is done it will be auctioned off and the
proceeds be used for the benefit Of
the church. This is very commend
able work and we trust that the church
will be greatly helped by it.

Japan Was Bringing Insistent Pres
sure for Coaling Station.
DIAz CONSULTED UNITED STATES
After Hearing from President Taft
He Notified MixadO that He
Would Not Make Lease to
Any Nation.

EL PASO, April 5.-An explanation bear
ing all the marks Of authenticity clearing
up the American Mexican Japanese situa-
ton was given here today by one of the
most prominent Mexican Americans in the
country
According to this informant who Is in a
position to know. but who insisted upon
the suppression OF his name President
Diaz was seeking a way 20 refuse a coal
ing station on NIagdalena Island TO the
japanese even before the renewal Of the
American governments contract came up
Tor discussion
'Diaz," said the Mexican-American,
found himself between the upper and
neither miIlstones. He was Impressed with
the influx OF japanese into Mexico and in
particular with the knowledge that they
had mapped his entire western coast. SLOW
insistent pressure was brought on him TO
give Japan coaling station on Magda-
lena bay. on the other side was the
United states and the Monroe doctrine
He temporlzed until knowledge OF his
situation reached the White House. From
the latter TO his considerable relief came
an unmlstsEable intlmauon that Japan
was not to have the station, although the
same privileges for the United States was
not insisted upon. Diaz then Informed
Japan that he did not care to lease any
part Of his country 10 a foreign power.
Not knowing what might be the result
OF the Mexican attitude In Japan, Presi-
dent Taft ordered the mobilization OF a
division OF American troops at san An
tonic, Galveston and El Paso In Mexico
every citizen OF standing and information
realizes that I'm the event Of Japanese az
gression, which. however baseless the fear
may be- is stil feared. Mexico must rely
upon assistance OF the United States. As
against any oversee power Mexico woulc
stand with its neighbor 10 the north.
