MORE TROOpSFOR
 MEXICAN BORDER Cavalry Regiments Being
 Prepared for Service
TO KILL AMERICANS
After September b Campa Will Mas sacre All Americans Unless Madero Resigns-Steever and
 Officers Call on Tellez

Washington, August 2s.-The Mexican government has ordered federal troops to hasten to a point between Hermosillo and Nogales in the state of Sonora for the protection of the Americans, Curtis and Cunningham, who are beset by rebels thirsting for revenge. The Americans had been left in charge of a mining camp at Fl Orc and had killed several rebels in trying to protect the company's property from raiders.
 Army officers along the boundary line report to the war department that from the information they gather from refugees fleeing from Mexico into America, the conditions in the Mexican state of Sonora are bad and the same state of affairs exists in the northwest ern part of the state of Chihuahua. The war department has about concluded that it will be necessary to materially strengthen the American border patrol on the western part of the line, and as General Steever has indicated that he probably will need more cavalry the men are being gotten ready at Fort Riley Kansas, and Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, to entrain- and proceed to Arizona and southern California, as soon as Steever gives the word.

Marshall Concludes His Trip

Lewiston, Me. August Ex-Governor Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana, dem ocratic nominee for the vice presidency. concluded his four days speaking tour of Maine in the interests of Governor Plaisted and the democratic state ticket with an address here tonight.
 Discussing the trusts from what he called the Humanitarian" point of view. Governor Marshall said in part:
 "The statement that in the beginning vast combinations of capital could by reducing overhead charges, and by va rious other means, lessen the cost to the consumer, was probably true. They could but did not. still all my protests go back to. the humanitarian view as more important even than the economic. The greatest objection to the trust Is that it closes the door of opportunity on the young man. To this statement the answer Is made that there are S10,- 900, s20,000 and s30 1000 jobs awaiting young men and I suspect this state ment is true, but what of 1t?
 Suppose l could make s10,000 a year as the manager ofAa trust, but suppose my happiness would be promoted by managing little business of my own out of which I might not make even 5000. And suppose--what is true--that I should be prevented by the trusts from running my little business and should be broken up if tried to run 1t. Have l not then been deprived of the one thing in life that this republic ought to give man-his chance to be happy?
 If this continues there wlllje great trusts and corporations who will lead to a throne and close the gates of mercy on mankind. They will take the young man of today and crush out every little bit of personal ambition which these young men may have and make of them only cogs in a great in- dustrial machine"
 At the conclusion of the meeting Governor Marshall left Lewiston on his return trip to Indiana.
