SELLS HOPE FOR
BIG NATIONAL PARK
There Are Thousands of Acres in
the First Distrist That He
Wants Included.

| congressman Dam IL. Bells, or
the First Tennessee district, has
written the Bristol Board of Trade
an interesting letter in which he
states he will stand in favor of an
extension of the time for purchas-
ing forest lands in the Southern
Appalachian mountains with a
view to establishing forest re-
serves. He states that under the
Weeks law the appropriation for
this purpose will expire June 80,
1915. In his discussion of the
subject of forestry as relates to
the Southern Appalachian noun
tains. he says in this connection in
part:
All that territory which has
TINS far been purchased under
the Weeks Act lying in the noun
tains of East Tennessee, Western
North Carolina and Southwest
Virginia, constitutes what is con-
sidered as a park. However, it is
not my opinion that in providing
for the purchase of this mountain
property the forestry department
had any idea Of providing the ap-
purtenances and improvements
which are generally expected in a
park. Conservation of the timber
supply and the protection of the
lower countries against flood and
excessive rainfall were the only
objects, | think, sought to be OBJ
tanned.
Upon investigation, however,
| find that the forester has au-
thority to make certain road i'm
provements through the sections
where purchases have been made
by the department. When it was
thought thatJohnson county would
join with Sullivan in the construc-
ton of pike road to Bristol, |
took the matter up with the for
ester and he advised me that he
would be glad to assist in the con-
struction of this road. He did not
say to just what extent the de-
partment would feel justified, but
feel sure that it would have at
least graded a first class road
through the mountain lands which
have been purchased.
!" / would like very much to as
sist in the construction of a road
between Bristol and Mountain
City and | know that if the two
counties will cooperate in the
. movement, substantial assistance
can be secured from the forestry
department.
The work Of aquisition is pro-
ceeding more slowly than ! would
like.
AS you perhaps know, the
Weeks Act expires by limitation
on June 80, 1915; no more money
will be available after that date
under the Weeks law for the pur-
chase of property. However, the
! party in power is committed to
the conservation idea, and ! have
no doubt that a bill will be passed
during the sixty-third congress
extending the appropriation for
another period of five years. l
am going to work hard when this
bill comes up to have incor-
porated in it more full and COM
plete authority to the forester to
join the construction Of roads
throughout these proposed parks
am sure that it will not be a diff
ficult matter to get most any kind
of road legislation we want into
this bill. Ihaye prepared a bill
myself seeking to appropriate four
million dollars a year, instead of
two million, for the continuation
Of this work after June 80, 1915.
My idea is to permit the forester
to spend any part Of his appropri-
ation, up to so per cent for i'm

Attack on the Capital
Of Mexico Near at Hand

Mexico City, Nov. 12.-General
Obregon, commander of the Mexico
City garrison, sent sharp note to
Villa today, warning him to halt his
march against the capital. This note,
which partakes of the qualities of an
ultimatum, is believed to have been
inspired by Carranza.
Silliman, personal representative of
President Wilson, called upon Minis
ter oe War Pesquiera for a confer
ence relative to the guarantees to
be given in case the capital is in
vaded.
Pesquiera assured Silliman that the
city is amply garrisoned, both Obre-
gon and Blanco being here with 25,-
900 ,nen, while Alvarado commands a
detachment of $50 machine guns and
large artillery force.
Aguas Calientes, Mexico, Nov. 12.--
War against "First Chief" Carranza
was officially declared by the con-
vention of generals here at 6:15
last night.
General Obregon and General An
tonic Villareal, earlier in the after
noon, telegraphed the convention that
they would support General Carranza
in the event of hostilities between the
Gutierrez and Carranza factions.
Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 11.-Carranza
troops, part of the strong garrison
at Monterey, were attacked and re-
pulsed yesterday by regiment of
General Villas forces at Hipolito, be-
tween Torreon and Saltillo. Captain
Edevio of the Carranza troops was
severely wounded. Seventeen Carran-
zistas were killed. The casualties of
the Villa troops were not stated in
the dispatch received here from Tor,
reon.
General Luis Gutierrez, brother Of
Provisional President Gutierrez, sent
900 troops from Saltillo to intercept
the Carranza troops. Reinforcements
were also sent from Torreon.
The troops from Monterey are be-
lieved to be an advance guard sent
west to feel out the disposition of the
Villa troops between Torreon and
Saltillo, which is to be attacked with
in the next few days by 100 Car

President Rebukes Negroes.

Washington, Nov. 12.-In a Leated,
sensational manner the negro dele
gates from the National Independence
Equal Rights League today demanded
from President Wilson the abolition
of segregation in government de-
partments and received a sharp and
pointed rebuke from the chief ex-
ecutive.
To the spokesman Of the delega-
ton, w. Monroe Trotter of Boston,
the president said Trotter had spoken
to him as no other man had spoken
since he assumed the presidency, and
stated that when the organization
again called upon him it would have
to select another spokesman.
The president made a lengthy ad-
dress to the negro delegates, begin
ming by rebuking them for dragging
politics into the question and saying
if they had made a mistake in vot-
ing for him they ought to vote
against him.
He said it is human and not a
political question that confronted them
and said he had not sought the pres
idency of the United States. He add
ed that his present burdens are al
most too much for human flesh to
bear.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-11-12

in-chief of all the forces of the pro-
visional government of General Eu-
lalio Gutierrez, General Francisco Viii
la received also orders to proceed with
his army against the Carranza forces
in the South.
Villas army movement, which
twice before had been started to the
south and then halted to await the
wishes of the Aguas Calientes conven-
ton, has again started. Villas res
ignation as commander of northern
troops was accepted today by General
Gutierrez and General Robles, minis
ter of war in General Gutierrez's cab
met, at once appointed him to su-
preme command of the army.

rama soldiers en- route from Piedras
Negras across the border from Eagle
Pass, Tex.
The numbers of the forces engaged
in today's fighting were not stated
in the advices received. Both sides
were cavalry.
While the fighting was in progress
in the interior, Naco, Sonora, was
again being subjected to shrapnel fire
from Governor Maytorena's field
pieces.
With several of his. 55-millimeter
field pieces placed at range of 1900
yards, Governor Maytorena reopened
! artillery fire on the Carranza garri-
son at Naco, Sonora, shortly before
noon.
The garrison replied, but their
shells fell short. At the same time
Yaqui Indians were seen moving into
positions around the town for an at
tack, which agents of Maytorena de-
clared would be made tonight.
Maytorena promised Colonel C. A.
P. Hatfield, commanding the Ameri!
can border patrol, that he would give
two hours notice of attack, but Colo
mel Hatfield, not depending on that.
sent his men into position on the bor-
der line.
Reports received here Wednesday
indicate that Maytorena is having
trouble in his own ranks, and that
for this reason he has not yet begun
the general attack on Naco, although
his troops now occupy advanced po-
sitions. 1t is stated there has been
trouble in Hermosillo and that early
this week nearly all of the city Off
cials were arrested. The city is now
reported to be in complete control of
the military.
A Maytorena band today cut the
railroad between Aqua Pierta and
Nacozari, according to advices re-
ceived today by the local consulate.
A number of bridges were burned
Detachments were sent from Aqua
Prieta and it is reported that the
Maytorenistas Immediately retired to-
ward their camp near Naco.

THE COMPRISE COTTON
RELIEF Plan DEFEATED
Southern Members of the House Fought Siren.
uously, But in Vain for the Bill

nessee, said the house Has no bank
ing systsm for the producers. that
the South needs immediate relief and
was only asking what the secretary
of the treasury Is asking the South
ern banks to loan money on cotton
as security.
Representative Crisp, of Georgia,
contended that 1t was not a local, po-
litical OF sectional question, that the
Southern farmers have no money to
do business on. a cash basis, bat
have to transact their cotton busi-
ness on q credit basis because the
South has never recovered from the
War Between the States.
Representative Heflin, of Alabama,
said that the thirty odd millions OF
people were asking theif countrymen
10 put some Of the governments
money In the banks of the South to
relieve suffering caused, not by
economic conditions, but by the Eu-
ropean war.
Representative Burnett. of Ala
bama. Byrnes. of South Carolina, and
others pointed. to the prccedents of
the South Joining with the North in
relief for the Salem disaster, the
San Francisco fire and earthquake
and the Ohio floods.
Printing large sums OF money
never will help the cotton situation" !"
Republican Leader Mann told the
house. "The proposition TO increase
the legal tender notes by $3.50, ,0OO, 900
without any additional gold reserve,
is dangerous proposition. What the
South needs is market for tho cot
ton"
"If s1.000,000.OOO were placed In
the South doubt IL money would
be any easier. Tho people in the
South or elsewhere will not loan
money on cotton or anything else un-
less the security Is good. The more
asset currency you have without suf-
ficient assets behind it, tho less
credit there will be-.

while appreciating the. situation I'm
the South, the cotton amendment
