bE Bells TO ATTACK TAMPICO
ednniraI Fletcher Predicts Federais
viii Abandon Gulf Port.

!, Washington. -Following closely on
official advices from George c. Caroth-
a.rs American consular agent at Tor
1reon. of the flight of the federal troops
from that city, came prediction from
Rear Admiral Fletcher that the I'M
portant gulf port of Tampico proba-
bly, would be abandoned by the led
erals without fight.
Administration officials made no
comment on the Torreon result and
official sentiment is not likely to crys-
talize until more is known of the bat
tie itself and it's effects in Mexico
City and elsewhere.
Mr.. Carothers' report of the fall or
Torreon lacked detail, particularly
with reference to losses sustained on
both sides and the movements OF the
retreating federals.
Torreon, Mexico.-Torreon, streWn
with victims of six-day battle, was
occupied by Villas rebels while the
federals fed The capture marks the
climax of the first campaign OF the
revolution to Gust Victoriano Huerta
from Mexico City. 1t gives the Con-
stitutionalists virtual control over the
whole northern tier of Mexican states
The fighting began and was almost
continuous. At first Villa attempted
assaults on the strong federal posi-
lions in daylight, but these proved
too costly, so the days were spent
in cannonading and the nights in as
saults.
Positions were taken and lost time
and time again. Several night at
tacks sent the federals scurrying from
strong positions, but at daybreak the
federals evacuated.

Nuisance Act Upheld.
Attack upon the nuisance act has
failed al every point.
Chancellors Heiskel and Fentress'
in a lengthy opinion delivered al Mem
phis. disalIowed every contention made
against the validity Of the act.
Caruthers Ewing and Anderson 4
Crabtree, representing the Park Hotter,
asked leave of the court TO appeal, ana
this was granted.
The Park Hotel bar. charged with
selling intoxicants in violation OF the
state fourmile law, and of the nui-
sance bill declaring liquor selling
nuisance, was closed recently by IN
junction. A demurrer was filed at
lacking the constitutionality Of the
act.
Saloonists and anti-salOon leagures

has been a football of politics ana
has agitated Tennessee for several
years. wv

the Park Hotel case will come before
it early during the term.
The following principal questions
are involved in the final decision
which will be rendered 1t is claimed
that the act does not define null
sance. that the caption does not ac-
curateiy describe the body of the bill;
that it imposes unreasonable burdens
upon owners of buildings; that the
legislature undertook to usurp judicial

cause 1t does not permit citizens VINO
are not freeholders to complain, ana
that the bill was not legally passed

cortland Journal)
KelsO, Wash, June 15.-To tne Ed
itor of The Journal:-I would like to
reply to, or rather add 10, the letter of
A. MeVey in The journal of May %.
Mr.. McVey thinks il great injustice
that Portland does not buy its pipe
at home, thereby causing 100000
plant to lie idle and many men to lose
the opportunity TO earn living. |
want to say the 100000 idle plant is
but a fraction of the harm done by
unthinking men and women who do
not buy at home. We may cry hard
times and high taxes, and search for
cause, but | say the habit of buying
away from home is one of the chief
causes of high cost of living, high
taxes and idle men. AS proof, let
me state that one Chicago firm alone
does more business in Kelso than the
merchants of KelsO. This firm pays
no taxes, neither does it employ any
of Kelso's laborers. They say there
are too many in business in Kelso! No,
there are not enough. If all purchases
were made in Kelso that snould be
made there, KelsO could support twice
as many business houses, and there
would be twice as many people em-
ployed, and five times as much money
in taxes paid. Furthermore, prices of
commodities would naturally drop to a
certain extent, as there would be less
expense attached in proportion to the
amount of business done.
This matter could be discussed to
such an extent that Mr.. McVey s $780,
600 idle plant in Oregon would com
pare like drop of water to the ocean,
But never mind; we will send for that
stuff to New York city, anyway. They
pay the express, you see, and we will
cuss our neighbor if he doesn t employ
us. Otherwise we will join the l..
