Officials here are disposed to mini
mize the affair as
The state department has given
some attention to the question that
would be presented with a sAdden
crossing of the Rio Grande by 6foz-
co and his army. International law
requires that such troops be disarm-
ed and interned until the end of hos
tilities. But there are no domestic
statutes bearing upon the case, nor
is there any appropriation which may
be drawn upon to feed and maintain
such an alien force.
1t might be necessary to appeal to
col gress for an appropriation if an
attempt were made by the rebels to
cross into Texas

The New Leader of the Democracy
Places His Campaign on High
Grounds-Interesting Stage of the
Campaign Handed Out at Sea Grit

Sea Girt, N. j., Aug. 3.-Woodrow
Wilson will not stump" the country
in his presidential campaign; neither
will he attempt the use of personali-
ties in his contest against other can
didates.
The governor made this plain here
today, explaining, however, that he
would follow a program of scheduled
addresses yet to be arranged on the
basis of calls from various states.
DR.. Wilson expressed the hope to-
day that Colonel Bryan would make
several addresses for the democratic
cause during the coming campaign.
The governor expects to begin his
speechmaking about September 1.
He asserted that the purpose of his
proposed visit to National Chairman
McCombs in New York tonight was
not to smooth out friction, because
none existed, so far as he was aware.
He said differences of opinion might
obtain, as was most natural in the
organization of any campaign.

The Ferrier was brought here for
rer airs, but when it was learned that
the Haitian government had not ap-
prcl rated any money for the work
nothing was done to the vessel.
Late yesterday afternoon agents OF

take gun mounts and other fixtures
of the Ferrier, and they were stopped
by the commandant of the navy yard.
He explained that claims TO the
amount of $1,000 had been entered
against the gunboat and under orders
of the state department nothing can
be taken from the ship until these
claims are satisfied.
Among the claims is one by the
government for $500 for surveying the
vessel and making plans and esti-
mates for her repairs. The agents
of the Hatien government have COM
r,rnicated with the Hatien minister

Washington Mihimizes Affair.

FL Paso, Tex, Aug. 3.-About fifty
shcts were exchanged between Uni
ted States soldiers and unidentified
mem from the Mexican side of the Rio
Grande last night between 9 and 10
o'clock in the rear of the Ell Paso
foundry, in East Ell Paso. No one
wa, struck by the bullets. There
were no arrests.
Three shots were first fired from
the Mexican side, striking a horse
belonging to C. H. Cole.
After the first three or more shots
were heard, the soldiers on guard
opened fire toward Mexico.
Mexican Shots Faster.
The bullets then came faster from
the Mexican side, one of them strik-
ing A. D. Martinez's house. The
houses of Messrs Curtis, Williams
AMI Younkers, near the river, were
also struck, as was also the roof of
one of the El Paso foundry buildings.
After the persons on the Mexican side
of the river had fired thirty Or forty
times, they ceased and the soldiers
wen. toward the river to investigate.
At this moment posse composed of
Sheriff Penoton J. Edwards and dep!
uties arrived and started a search or
the thick brush in the old river bed.
No trace of the men who fired from
III, Mexican side could be found. The
police returned and left further in
vestigation to the soldiers.
1t was the opinion of some of the
residents of that section that the fir
ing had been done by Mexican reb-
els to draw the attention of the SOL
diers so that quantity of ammuni-
tion could be smuggled across the
river at another point A careful
investigation is being made by the
officers in command of the two bat.

foundry and Washington park, and a
report will be made to Col. E. z. Stee-

house, and the bullets striking the
structure frightened her into a state
of nervous prostration.

Increase .............$239,84


This increase, amounting to over a
quarter of a million dollars, VIII
compare favorably with any other
county in the state in ratio to the
total amount of valuation. The in
crease has not been caused by any
one large enterprise during the year,
but has simply been a gradual in
crease in small buildings, etc.
The increase of $239,4S2 is larger
than that of 1911 over 1910, though
some large industries were included
lasr year. 1t must be remembered,
however, that in the general taxable
values of the county no railroad prop
erty, street cars or any other public
corporations are included, these be-
ins returned direct to the state.
The figures were completed by Mr..
