u. S. Guards at Fl. Bliss
Told to Shoot to Kill

Ell Paso, Tex, April 20.-Nearly 5000
Mexican Federal prisoners, held by the
United States army at Fort Bliss, are
threatening to make a wholesale break
for liberty, despite armed American
guards and double barbed wire fences
surrounding the stockade in which
they are confined.
Several local Mexicans, who are
known to be Federal sympathixers and
in the employ of the Huerta govern
ment, have been buying large num-
bers of wire cutters during the last
two day, and 1t is said an attempt
is planned to cut the wires of the pris-
on stockade and make 1t possible for
the Mexicans to make a break for lib
erty
Following an attempt to escape by
several of the Mexican prisoners on
Friday, another attempt was made on
yesterday On Friday, two Mexicans
were shot, one fatally. Yesterday the
men were stopped after several shots
We're fired by the guards. Today the
soldiers guarding the Mexicans have
kept all sightseers from approaching
the stoekade, and precautions were
taken to prevent a third attempt.
In the event of & general attempt to
break out of the stockade the guards
are under orders to shoot to kill and it
is pointed out that many of the pris-
oners necessarily would be killed. Ma
chine guns also would be used to stop
a general mutiny
The Mexicans are in an ugly mood.

Gentlemen of the Congress-
1T is my duty to call your atten
ton to a situation which has arisen
in our dealings with General Victori-
ano Huerta at Mexico City. which
calls for action, and to ask your ad-
vice and cooperation in acting upon
it. On the ninth of April a paymaster
of the u. S. S. Dolphin landed at the
Iturbide Bridge landing at Tampico
with a whaleboat and boats crew to
take off certain supplies needed by
his ship, and while engaged in load
ing the boat was arrested by an off,
Ger and squad of men of the army Of
General Huerta. Neither the paymas-
ter nor any one of the boats crew
was armed. Two of the men were in
the boat when the arrest took place
and were obliged to leave 1t and sub
mit--to be taken into custody. not
outstanding the fact that the boat
carried both at her bow and at her
stern the flag of the United States.

ipvigorates and strengthens them. It's
exhilarating, stimulating and life
producing properties cause the hair 20

Hampstead, L. l., April 2O.-Word
was received her late Sunday after
noon that an employee of the Moisant
Aeroplane Co. had just returned from
Mexico, where he had sold one of the
latest types of monoplanes and deliv-
cred it to Huerta at Mexico City.
No confirmation Of the rumor could
be obtained, as the hangers were clos
ed here this afternoon, owing to the
high wind which made flying impos-
sible. Beachey and Niles were expect
ed to fly, hut they did not appear
and could not be located.
1t was also rumored that another
aeroplane was about ready for ship
ment to the Mexican government. but
would not be delivered.

Barn Burned Near Lamont.

The barn on the farm of NJ. H.
Bartlett, miles southwest of Lamo-
nj, was destroyed by a mysterious fire
Sunday night about IL o'clock. Mr.
Bartlett resides in Lamont and was
called by neighbors and told his
barn was burning. Nothing was saw
ed from the barn as no one saw the
fire until the roof had fallen in. Four
head of good horses, quantity of
hay and considerable machinery was
burned. The cause of the fire is un-
known, but it is thought some boys
who were out hunting and stopped
at the barn left fire in some manner,
as no one had been near the barn
after 3 o'clock that afternoon, who
had any business there.

It is almost certain that good S

1t is almost certain that good siz-
ed CONTROVERSY will be fought out
before the next legislature on the
question of the proper handling OF
the remedies for hog cholera. The
situation as between contendingf forces
is rapidly becoming strained. A few
years ago it's distribution was placed
by the legislature in the hands OF the
state veterinarian and later was Gre
ated a state animal health commits
sion, of which the veterinarian is the
head, to look after the general fight
on hog cholera. A state laboratory
was erected and great deal of the
serum was distributed, but the funds
placed at the disposal of the veterln-
arian were meager and he could do
little. The last legislature took this
matter out of the hands of the state
animal health board and the veterin-
arians and placed it with the state
college at Ames, making the presi-
dent of the college the general man
ager of the laboratory and authoriz-
ing the college to regulate the dis
tribution. A new $4,000 laboratory
has been built, and late last season
the making of serum commenced.
Now it is claimed by the veterinar-
ians that the method of handling is
not as carefully supervised as it
should be; that farmers are invited
to 60 to the college and attend lee
lures day or more and receive in
structions; that they 60 home equip
ped for administering the serum;
that great many OF them carry
germs away from the laboratory and
