:. trouble In Mexico GAUGES Ad-
Jutant General Of Iowa Ma
tIonaI Guard 70 Issue
Special orders.
;owA REGIMENT PICKED
,..,arations viii be Made for Irnnne-
dlate Departure In Case State
Militia is Ordered
Out.

Members OF Company L were more
~ less excited today when 1t became
Known that Captain Frank LeBron
bad received orders from the adjutant
oenaral of the Iowa National Guard
to make all preparations for imme-
dite departure for the international
boundary line between the United
states and Mexico in case the trouble
lakes on a serious aspect.
The orders from the adjutant gen.
eral were due to the trouble in Next
co last week, eliminating in the at
tack on the city of Mexico yesterday
and the orders to the state guard are
tho same as were given out last
spring when 1t seemed as though there
would be no alternative except for
the United States government to take
a hand in settling the troubles Of
manana land.
The Iowa National Guard, accord.
ing to the army reports has been Sc.
lected by the war department as the
frst to be called out in the event
that the troops are called to the Dor.
der. This in itself is sufficient proof
Of the high estimation in which the
militia OF this state Is held by the
army officials. The Fifty-fourth regi-
ment, of which Company L is part,
is considered the crack National regI-
ment of the country.
Captain LeBron declared this
morning that there was every indica-
ton that the government was pre-
pairing to take some action In the
Mexican situation and that he would
issue orders for the members OF
Company L to hold themselves in
readiness to be sent to the border.
Company L is fairly equipped now,
but at the annual inspection, which
occurs in March Of this year. it is ex-
pected that many new accouterments
will be ordered. The company itself
will be increased and every detail
made ready for the expected orders
to go to the border.
Officers Of the company say that
every member Of the local militia is
ready to go and would be glad Of the
chance, although they realize that II
would be no great fun. The officers
seem to believe that If the company
is ordered out, it would be only for
the point Of mobilization and that
there would be very little chance fol
the National Guard to be ordered in
to Mexico.
It is considered likely that with
the chances greatly in favor Of Com
pany L be ordered to the border. al
least, that the members of the com
pany will pick UP interest in military
matters and that more enthusiasm
will be shown than has been eviden
In several months. The annual in
spection is an event in itself and tht
war talk will make the members dt
their utmost to be picked for one o
the companies to be ordered out.

Kendall is Not orrled.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. TO-
Representative Nate Kendall of the
Sixth Iowa district talks of the plan
for redistricting the congressional dis
tricts of Iowa, proposed in the Iowa
legislature and said to have the ap-
prevail of majority of the members
of the redistricting committees of
both houses. Inasmuch as Mr.. Ken
dalls service as congressman is about
to expire, he Is not at all worried
about how the change would affect
him. He said the plan proposed was
as fair as any he ever had seen de-
vised He called attention to the
fact that the Eleventh district has a
population more than 100000 greater
than the First District and that his
district contains $4,000 people less
than Congressman Woods district,
the Tenth This is because the north
western part of the state has filed
up with settlers since the state last
was redistricted, Mr.. Kendall said
"Of course, If we are to look at
the matter purely from a political
standpoint, merely as republicans
Mr.. Kendall said, "then we should al
low the districts to remain as they
are, for, under normal conditions, the
second is the only democratic dis.
trict in the state" and the only way
to change that, Mr. Kendall thought,
would be to throw Musca.ine county
into the first district.
Mr.. Kendall said the changes pro-
posed would make some of the dis
tricts even more solidly republican
than they now are. Anyhow, he de-
clared, the districts should be more
compact and should be more evenly
divided as 20 population, and the plan
proposed, which would give the die.
tricts an average population of 2o2,.
600, was an equitable as any, he
thought.

Especial to The Gate city.1

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. TO-
Major Rathbun recently suggested In
his newspaper, the Marion Register,
that the republicans of Iowa start
the ball rolling" for Senator Kenyon
for president in 1916. Senator Ken
yon's attention was called to the
suggestion and he said he never had
given thought to such a thing. The
senator added that his intention was
to serve his country to the best of
his ability for the next six years and
then return to the practice of law in
the hope of being able to lay up a
competence for those who are u--
pendent upon him.
Senator Kenyon looks upon Senator
Borah as likely candidate of the
republican party for the presidency
in 1916. He said he thought Borah
had the presidency in mind more
than any other republican just now.
Why, If Borah lived in Illinois
Or New York, he almost certainly
would be the republican nor.inee for
ehC PACSA0ChSy III loiO, OSAoOti
Kenyon said. He is progressive re-
publican Of high character and prob
ably would be more acceptable as q
presidential candidate than Senator
LaFollette for the reason that he has
not been SO radical,
Senator Kenyon expressed the opin
ion that the republican party in or
der to win in the next presidential
election must have candidate like
either Borah or LaFollette.
Fighting Bob" does not propose t,
reopen his presidential campaign
Headquarters in Washington this win

PROPOSITION WAS
NOT TURNED down
FORMER POSTMASTER COLLINS
SAYS THERE.wAs NO HITCH IN
AUTHORIZING NORMAL p. o.

T.
In a recent announcement that the
4 ost Office Department had author
lied the establishment at the Missis-
sippi Normal College of sub-station
of the Hattiesburg post office, the
statement was made that for some
reason the proposition was turned
down and when the matter was
brought to the attention of Hon. B. P.
Harrison, member of Congress from
this district, he at once took it up and
secured the order for the establish
ment of the station.
The statement referred to was
based on information given The News
by Mr.. A. V. Hays, who doubtless
thought he was entirely within the
record when he gave the information
on which the story was based
The attention of The News has
been called to this matter by former
Postmaster w. A. Collins, who in"ugu-
rated the movement for the Normal
College sub-station as mentioned in
the previous reference to the matter.
Mr.. Collins states that the matter
was never turned down" and that
from the moment he took it up with
the department, until the final order
was made authorizing the sub-station
the subject was a live one, receiving
the attention of the postal authorities,
with no thought or suggestion that it
would not be established, in the regu
| lar course of department procedure.
He says that when he first took the
matter up with President Joe Cook
of the Normal College, he made the
suggestion himself, that Mr. Cook en-
list the cooperation of Congressman
Harrison while he conducted the Of
fetal correspondence with the Post
Office Department. Thus he says,
having initiated the movement he was
laccorded the cooperation of Mr.. Cook
and through his request that of Con-
lgressman Harrison. Mr. Collins says
in view of the facts, and of his per-
sonal interest in the matter, he is
unwilling that the statement should
remain unchallenged, that there was
ever any turning down" of this prop
osition by the post office department,
OF any disposition to ignore or pigeon
hole the subject. Having given the
source of it's Information and being
without any bias in the matter, The
News is pleased to give the facts, as
Mr.. Collins states them.

the United States for the courtesies
