joined by Gen. Carranza, the head OF
the revolution, who is now at Hermo-
sillo.
AT Ojinaga where practically all the
northern federal forces are camped,
preparations continued for what ap-
peared to be a departure from that
place.
A quarter of a million dollars in
Mexican money was sent to Ojinaga by
way of Maria, Texas, to pay the fed
eral troops. who have been without
funds for weeks. The buying of food
on the Texas side of the river contin-
ued, the federals having taken over
enough provisions for an extended cam
paign. When there were not enough
wagons to carry the freight, women
camp followers waded into the water
waist deep with heaps IF boxes on
their heads. The anxiety of the feder-
ais to obtain provisions indicated the
troops might leave Ojinaga by Monday.

In filing the annual report with the
new Legislature at Albany, N. Y, the
State Athletic Commission will show
that since the boxing law of New York
went into effect in August. 1911, about
$4,000 has been paid into the state
comptrollers office, this money being
the amount of per cent. tax on the
gross receipts of all licensed clubs
operating under the statute. There
has been falling off in receipts dur
ing the last year, due probably to the
poor quality of many so-called star
bouts.
