SOLDIERS COMING.

The best information obtainable con
corning the soldiers enroute to the
border from Fort Riley Kan, is to the
effect that three train loads will pass
through Chickasha tonight between 10
o'clock and midnight This is the ad-
vice received at the Rock Island sta
ton today. 1t is not stated what com.
panies or what regiments are repre-
sented or what branch OF the service
the detachment is from. 1t Is thought,
however, that the entire outfit will be
artillery, as Fort Riley is mainly an
artillery post

PROPOSAL is PLACED
BEFORE MERCHANTS

Whether or not Chickasha mer-
chants are to have cooperative de-
livery system, is tire proposition that
is being threshed out now by the Re
tail Merchants association, following
the submission of such a proposition
to that body by Mr.. Rush of Newton,
Kan, who proposes to put in the sys-
tenn in Chickasha, providing the mer-
chants want 1t and will sign contracts
binding their support to the movement.
Mr.. Rush comes from town where
such a system has been in effect for
some time and is proving success, as
it has in numerous other towns in the
United States, where it has been given
fair trial and handled Systematically
The proposition, as presented last
night to the merchants by Mr.. Rush,
is that he will take the delivering de-
partment Of their stores entirely off
their 4ands. guarantee satisfaction to
customers and merchant and save the
merchant 25 per cent Of the present
cost Of delivering his goods.
It is the plan Of the system to di-
vide the town up into districts, have
wagons operating in each district and
make two deliveries in the morning
and two in the afternoon at a great
saving in horseflesh, time, labor and
money. Mr. Rush will own all wagons,
teams and other modes Of delivery, in.
Guiding an auto truck, will hire his own
men and maintain the entire service
BY schedule of deliveries, the wagons
viii be about the same place at a
given time each day, varying only a
matter of minutes, so the customer
viii know when to expect the pro-
ceries, bakers supplies or articles from
the market.
The wagons proceed to the grocery
stores, where their baskets have been
left, and where the orders have been
filled by the merchant. collect the bas
kets and make the delivery, but the
men on the wagons will take no orders
from anyone. The baskets are fur
nished by the delivery company and
by numbers are indicated the districts
or section of the town to which they
belong
Mr.. Rush states that if he gets the
proper support here and puts in the
service, he viii make Chickasha his
home and will employ local men fol
the delivery service. He expects that
it will require some half a dozer
wagons and an auto truck to handle ths
business here The deliveries handle
any article Of merchandise up to sacl
of feed or 100 pounds Special deIIy
cry wagons are constructed. They ars
II foot double lccked wagons, witt
frames for water bottles on the side:
and rack for oil can underneath
The majority OF the merchants lasl
night expressed Themselves as favor
! ing the proposition and meeting will
be held Monday night. at which Tins
| the proposition will be threshed out.

Americans falling victims to the blood

Officially the secretary OF state dis.

Americans IN Mexico City, but despite
this hope the state department has
yainiy endeavored TO get word into
Mexico City to the Brazilian embassy
which now represents us.
1t is not alone Americans who are in
danger German and British citizens
have been threatened It is an admitted
fact that Huerta refused to permit
Americans e leave with O'Shaugh-
messy and that all Americans have
been dsarmed by Huerta's orders.
This has sinister sound. If con
flrmed report gets through that Amer.
leans have been killed or outraged il
is confidentially admitted this will
cause an expedition Of blue jackets to
be rushed through to the capital with
orders to enter it at all cost.

Vera Cruz, April 25-That in every
city in the interior of Mexico many
Americans are being held as hostages
Is the opinion expressed here private
y by members Of the diplomatic force
arriving from Mexico City. 1t Is de-
clared that tile need is very urgent that
the army proceed at once to Mexico

cans.

Of all rifles and machine guns before

dictator has given orders to take all
guns from Americans in Mexico city,
as he wants them defenseless in case
Of an uprising.

Bridge Guarded All Night.

Telegram by United Press.
Laredo, Texas, April Guarding
the International bridge all night with
locomtive whose headlight illuminat-
ed the approaches, with sharp shoot
ers in the engine cab, every effort was
made to prevent any recurrence Of
the attempt Of Mexican federals to
destroy property here.
Nuevo Laredo, just across the bor-
der from here, today is mass of ruins.
The loss is estimated at a million dol
lars. The federals said before leaving
the place yesterday that they were go
ing to burn every town between Nucvo
Laredo and Monterey to prevent them
from falling into the hands Of the
United STAGES.
Federal troops that had previously
left returned to Neuvo Laredo yester-
day morning and during the afternoon
the town burst into flames, loud ex-
plosions following and wrecking build
infs.
Troops at Fort Mcintosh were order
ed out on the double quick and in a
few minutes a rigid guard, amounting
almost to martial law, was established
in the danger zone.
Troops Protect Texas Towns.
At the two bridges across the river
the guards were reinforced and il
was here that the only known loss of
life occurred The machine gun pla-
toon from Fort Mcintosh took posses
sion below the center Of the city,
where the federals, who were now
crowding into their trains, poured a
fusillade Of shots across the border.
Several Mexicans were seen to fall
before the fire from the machine guns,
+ but they were carried away by their
comrades 1t is known that two Mex
leans were killed, The trains were
started and the federals withdrew, fir
ing as long as they could For some
distance the railroad follows the in
ternational line.
After silencing the Mexicans, part
of the ninth infantry was withdrawn
from the river front, the other remain
ing on guard. Rumors that some Amer
ican soldiers were wounded proved to
be without foundation and no shots
struck in the central part of Laredo
No Looss in Laredo.
There was no property loss in La
redo. Both international bridges are
safe, though efforts to dynamite them
resulted in the death of two men en-
gagged in the undertaking. One Mexi
can was shot by a sharpshooter from
the top OF the water tower. The Mex
lean was trying to reach the end ol
the international foot and wagon
bridge. Another was killed when he
tried to blow up the American railroad
bridge Americans weer constantly al
the American side to prevent such al
attempt.
When the Mexican soldiers finally
departed order was quickly restores

throughout the city, A serious prob
lam was furnished Immigration ant

Board May Cause Bitter
Opposition.

WASHINGTON. May IA report was
current In the Senate to-day that some OF
tho Administrator leaders In that body
have warned President Wilson that there
would be difficulty in confirming the NOM
nations OF Paul Warburg and Harry A.
Wheeler members of the new Federal
Reserve Board II the President should
send the names TO the Senate.
II was said that Senator Owen and
Senator Hollis had a frank talk with
told him that they had grave doubts OF
bringing about the confirmation Of the
two men.
The rumor lost interest so FAR as Harry
A. Wheeler OF Chicago IS concerned. be-
cause It Is the general opinion that he
will decline tho office. Chicago friends
Of Mr.. Wheeler who are now in WASH
tngton appear to think there Is no doubt
that he has already written TO the Presi-
dent declining the post.
Opposition to Paul NJ. Warburg OF
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. in individual cases is
pronounced. The Progressive Republicans
are very likely to make u fight against
him because OF his financial connections
In New York and because, as some OF
them allege he was associated with the
late T.. II. Hartman In some OF his re-
organization plans. the Chicago and
Alton deal being specifically mentioned.
Senator Bristow. who Is a member OF
the Banking and Currency Committee. Is
likely to lead fight against Mr.. War
burg. Some Of the more radical of the
Democratic Senators will probably oppose
him. but II IL reasonably certain that he
will have the support Of most OF the
Democratic Senators. who will probably
fall into line at the direction of the
President. and Mr.. Warburg will have
strong support among the regular Repub-
Leans.
Senator Weeks OF Massachusetts. a
member OF the Banking and Currency
Committee. expressed surprise to-day
when told that Senators had advised The
President that there would be difficulty
IN confirming Mr.. Warburg. Senator
Weeks said he regarded Mr.. Warburg "a
