PHOENIX. ARIz.

The Colored people of Phoenix
showed their appreciation of Mr.. Fred
Gardeners new enterprise by turning
out en- masse to witness the opening
of this handsome hotel and amuse-
ment resort. We are pleased to note
the building activity that is going on
among our people here. Mr.. j. q.
Green's twelve-room apartment house
is nearing completion Mr.. VIM.
Pace is contemplating the erection of
a handsome brick residence on his
property in the very lea future.
Mr.. Jas Rosser has returned to Mem
phis, Tenn, to re-enter Meharry Med
ical College. Mr.. Rosser hopes to be
the first Negro doctor to establish in
Phoenix. The chicken pie dinned
given by the c.. M. e Church last
week was a splendid success. Mes
danes Credible and Henderson de-
serve much praise for the excellent
manner in which they conducted this
dinner. Mrs. M. Mosely was in the
city a few days last week. While
here she was the guest of Mrs. J. B.
Bell. Mrs. Martin Brown of Sedalia,
Mo-, has purchased a nice little home
on East Jefferson street. This sec
ton is becoming very popular as a
home site for Negroes. We would ad-
wise that more Negroes follow Mrs,
Browns move and buy property on
Jefferson street. If you don't like
Jefferson street. buy elsewhere, but
by all means buy a home. Phoenix
is the fastest growing town in the
West and the Negro population is the
most thrifty and e~nterprising to be
found anywhere. We own more prop
erty in proportion to our population
than the whites. While we do not
want to boast of u attachments, an
impartial investigation by a disinter
ested person will disclose the fact
that we have a boast coming ... Read

.HUERTA'S ARMY BAND
OF HIRED ASSASS|NS
John Lind Says Best Troops Died
at Torreon-For Blockade
of Ports.

That Huerta's remnant army is merely
a band Of "assassins," that the flower Of
his army died at Torreon under Gen. We
lasco. that ''On to Mexicor' is not the
battle cry Of the United States forces,
but Blockade all the ports." and that
Tampico will be cleaned up next-s the
opinion expressed last night by John
Lind.
Mr. Lind was the special representative
Of tho President in Mexico for moro than
eight months It is believed in ofiicial
circles that tho advice he gave to the
President and the cabinet on his return
recently led to the vigorous methods in
dealing with Mexico that have replaced
the ''watchful waiting policy. Mr.. Lind
Is in constant conference with administra-
ton leaders. and is believed to know bet
ter than any other man in the United
States what this government is planning
in the Mexican crisis.
Not Present Intention.
Now that Rear Admiral Badger has
arrived in Mexican waters with his fleet, "
he was asked. will it not be advisable
under the circumstances to rush the army
from Galveston to Vera Cruz and proceed
sion before Huerta can arrange for q
stubborn defense Of his capital?"
mo, that is not the present inten-
tion," replied Mr.. Lind. "As we are now
in possession of Vera Cruz, the next
step will be to clean up Tampico Then
we should retain possession of both
cities and also blockade all the remain
ing ports in Mexico. 1 do not anticipate
any more fighting, as Huerta will have
all he can do to contend with the ad-
vancing forces of the victorious revolu-
tionists.'
HAS Huerta an effective army?'
mo, the pick of his forces were sent
north, where they were annihilated in
| and around Torreon. All he has left is
| some bands of hired assassins."

Y the following to him from the Ameri-

by the following to him from the Ameri-
can Secretary Of State:
The President does not desire any res
olution that could be construed as au-
thorizing him to engage in war; all he
asks and all that will be given Is a reso-
luton declaring that he Is justified in
using the armed forces to compel redress
of a specific indignity. He has been care
full to distinguish between Gen. Huerta
and his supporters on the one side and
the rest of the Mexican people on the
other side.
HE has reiterated his friendship for
the Mexican people and his desire to see
them establish for themselves consti-
tutional government. The taking of the
customhouse at Vera Cruz was made
necessary by Huerta's refusal to make
proper reparation for the arrest CT the
American sailors. The constitutionalists
are reported in the newspapers as stand
ing aloof from the controversy This is
a yere proper attitude. and We hope that
thew will not misunderstood the Presi-
dents position or misconstrue his acts"
