TAFT GIVES ADVICE
TO G. j. STUDENTS
In Last Address as President,
Tells Them to Cherish Their
College Friendships.

An intensely human plea to a group
of college students. urging them to
cherish their school day friendships,
concluded probably the last public ad-
dress Of William Howard Taft as Presi-
dent of the United States.
Following a precedent which has been
followed by Presidents throughout the
history of the nation, President Taft
made the final public address of his -Ad-
min!stration to the students and faculty
of Georgetown University yesterday. He
said he did not wish to break an es-
tablished precedent by not visiting the
Georgetown institution during his Ad-
and even in the busy hours
OF his fading executive career found
time to journey to the place where all
OF his predecessors have made visits.
President Taft told his listeners that
frequently the effort is made In educa-
ton to crowd into the young mind too
much of many things and too little of
few things. There is nothing that makes
so much for character, he told the
members of the senior class, as to step

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March s-
Science dare not meddle with sweet

1.-The philosophy which is rooted in
the biological laws of the brutes' world

the Individual and society. For the in

The philosophy that stakes every

Armed Cowboys Rush
Into Douglas to Fight
If There Is More Trouble

DOUGLAS, Ariz., March S.-Armed
cowboys continued to pour into Douglas
today. anxious to take a hand, should
any further trouble come as the result
of yesterdays clash between Mexicans
and troopers of the Ninth Cavalry.
Curious persons continued to beat the
brush where the Mexicans made their
stand-looking for dead, but no bodies
were found.
Four officers Of the Ninth were walk
ing along the American side Of the
border yesterday morning, when de-
tachment of sixty Mexican regulars,
coming out from Aqua Prieta opened
fire on them. The Americans declared
that they did nothing at all to pro-
woke the firing. Sixteen troopers Joined
the four officers and the Mexicans
charged toward the border. Waiting
until they were within easy range, the
officers gave the word to fire and they
said that six Mex1cans fell dead.

ASK EXP|- -ANAT|ON
OF BORDER BAT TIE
Four Mexicans Killed in Clash
on Line, and Army Heads
to Demand Inquiry.

Aside from a report that six Ameri-
cans were killed in the skirmish yester-
day near Douglas, Ariz., in which the
War Department is not disposed to
place confidence, nothing official has
been heard at the department today.
Late last night an unofficial dispatch
was received to the effect that six
Americans and six Mexicans had been
killed.
Subsequently, press reports agreed
that only four Mexicans had been killed
and positive statements were made that
no American was either injured or
killed.
The War Department is anxious to
to obtain all details of the skirmish, es-
pecially as to who started the firing.
Press reports agree that forty Mexfcans
opened fire on three American officers
Eear the border.
May Ask Explanations.
Owing to the fact that there have
teen number of casualties along the
border and that coAditions are extreme
ly unsettled. it is not believed that the
incident will lead to serious conse-
quences, although this Government will
probably write a demand on the Huerta
regime for an explanation should II
prove that the Mexican troops were fed
erals rEder recognized leadership.
The attitude of the United States has
bred a certain amount of contempt on
the part Of Mexicans along the border.
The decisive result Of the skirmish yes
terday is expected to teach them that
the United States is exhibiting pa
uence rather than cowardice and that,
In case of necessity, American troops
have not lost the art OF shooting
straight. --

ANOTHER BIG STEP.
Rock Islands Latest Leap Toward the
Coast.

The news of a s15,OOO,O0O bond issue to
build a railroad from San Diego, Cal,
to Yuma, Ariz., a distance of a little
more than 200 miles, received in To-
peka railroad circles today, and the
near control of the Phelps-Dodge in
terests over the Rock Island Lines
comes as a settled proof that before
the Panama exposition, the Rock Is
land will be a tranScontinental rail-
road, running practically all the dis
lance from Chicago on it's own rails
Only a 300-nile gap remains.
The Spreckels interests in San Diego
have applied for permission to float
$4,000, 600 in bonds to build a line from
San Diego to Yuma. That brings the
Rock Island 200 miles nearer the coast
from the west Yesterday came the
announcement of the new control of the
Rock Island by the rhelps-Dodge in
terests. This gives the Rock Island
$50 miles added to the eastern terminal
of the roads tracks at Tecumcari,
N. M.
1t will be seen that in one days de-
velopments, the Rock Island comes
nearly 900 miles closer to the Pacific
coast goal. 1t is reported from the
west that the Spreckels interests have
fallen out with the Southern Pacific.
This would lead to the belief that ru-
mored negotiations between the
HnelDS-DOQge n
terests bring an outlet to the Sal.
San Diego ambitions
More Money for Extensions.
The control of the Rock Island un-
der the Phelps-Dodge interests will
mean the addition of several millions
for the upbuilding of the road The
Rock Island operates over 1900 miles
of rails, and has 1900 locomotives
and ALTA cars in service. 1t is one
af h. l.
world and covers a vast territory in
thirteen states.
In transcontinenta1 traffic the Rock
Island has arranged agreements with
the Southern Pacific and the Ell Paso
& Southwestern for rights to the Pa
cif1c coast, the Southern Pacific
from Los Angeles to Ell Paso and the
Ell Paso & Southwestern from Ell Paso
to Tecumcari.
In other words, the Rock Island has
been bottled up" to use a term oft
en- applied to the roads activities by
railway men. The Phelps-Dodge
ownership removes part of the cork.
With the Spreckels road, only little
stretch from Tucson to Yuma Ariz,
remains to be captured Following
the entrance into San Diego, an ex-
tension to Los Angeles is the next
step.
The removal of the Moore-Reid
control of the Rock Island following
the roads narrow escape from the re-
ceivers' hands through the wonderful
supervision of President Nudge, re-
newed support should be the result in
general traffic conditions. Already
Wall street has recognized the i'm
portance of the change and Rock Is
land issues are strong and active.
1t means considerable to Topeka
if the operating plan is not disturbed
by the Phelps-Dodge control The
second district headquarters here
with a natural gain in business
through the change in management
should receive the benefit of the man
ipulation.
