Is Greatly Worried

ashinston, April 17.-President
Iatt felt tonight that he had done
personally all that could be done bv
a chief executive to control the situ-
ton along the Mexican border. He
and his advisers believe that now
congress must say whether the stu
auon is grave enough to warrant In
PREVENTION and Its consequences.
INrough the State Department the
administration played what may he
regarded as its last card TODAY. II
reiterated in no uncertain fashion
the representations made 10 Mexico
d few days back. that affairs like that
at Douglas and Aqua Prieta last week
must not be repeated. Instead OF
awaiting the customary period for a
formal reply from Mexico, the depart
mcnt asked for immediate assurances
mat there be no more lighting that
endangered Americans in the border
! towns Information was requested
also as to what measures the authori-
tics had taken to prevent future com
bats OF this kind. a few hours after
the depa rtincnt announced that 1t had
Issued this second demand. tho dis
patches from Douglas began TO come
Into the War Department showing
that the second battle OF Aqua Prieta
had begun. Tonight no reply had
been received from the Mexican
authorities.
The President is plainly worried.
The bulletins were taken to him
wherever he happened to he, and he
did not conceal the fact that he was
Intensely interested IN the news from
Aqua Prieta. E
The President had two important
conferences. He talked with Score
tary Knox in tho afternoon, and to
night he Ind q conference with Am
bassor Bryce, of Great Britain. The
official explanation of Mr. Bryce's
visit was that he came to talk about
the proposed arbitration treaty be-
tween tho United States and Great
Britain.
1t is practically certain. however,
that Mexico figured in the conversation.
1t Is believed that the ambassador eX-
planned 10 Mr.. Taft the landing of the
British marines at San Quintin, Mexico.
last week. He was able to tell the
President that only after American and
British subjects asked for protection
did the British vessels of war put the
marines ashore.

would mean war. War In Mexico. the

At the time of going to press, prin-

the question which the court is call

Sutlive Bros. & Co., will be able to
hold the building under the ten year
lease which they procured from the
the estate that formerly owned the
property. In speaking of the case, B.
E. Sutlive today said:
THE deed on record shows the
present purchaser bought the building
subject to the lease and all agree
ments between Sutlive Bros. & Co
and the former owners. but 1t is un
derstood an effort will be made te
break the lease on the ground thai
/ the signatures of all the former own

"Sutlive Brothers & Co., occupied
the building ten years before theil
occupancy under the present lease
and unless sufficient defect can b.

nulled by the court, they will have
nine years yet to occupy the building.
