Nightly military drills by Mexicans
recently were called to the attention
of the police, with the result that the
existence of two well-organlzed military
companies were uncovered. The drills
were being held under the direction of
Captain Jose Eldino, who admitted
that he is an officer of the Mexican
constitutionalist army.

The Cherrians under the leadership

fairly well to their requests for funds
but that there is still need of more
money to assure the success of the

largement of the plans for the festival,
it is essential that ample financial sup

A new method of the distribution of

plan has not been formally adopted by
the promoters of the fair. 1t is pro-
posed to offer between $500 and $400

Daniel Cupid will reign for few
months longer all ON account of tae
inflexible marriage laws which go to
forestall the lovelorn after they have
run the gauntlet of paternal objection
A young couple presented themselves
at the county clerk s office today for
marriage license. Both being new
at the business of getting married, they
appeared appropriately embarrassed
when it was found that the groom to
be had forgotten abort she medical
certificate. This secured, the pair re-
turned to find out taat the girl in the
case would not be 10 years old until
September and, though the mother was
ready to give her consent to the match,
is was impossible to issue the license
until the girl had reached that age.
Entreaty was useless as the clerk
could interpret the rule according to
law only and the three departed to
enjoy few weeks more of engagement.
The mother brought to bear the argu.
ment that the wedding dinner was al
ready cooked and ready to serve, but
the rules of the game prevented the
embarkation upon the sea of matri-
mony regardless of the feast's await
ing.

full. Minister Naon of Argentina spoke
in an especially optimistic tone. Not

would have far reaching effect IN

1t was agreed that today would see
little more than preliminary formalities.
1t was thought possible that the media
tors and the ENJOYS from both Wash

ent at the beginning of the negotiations.
After the initial session, it was said,
however, the mediators would confer
with the American and llexican repre-
sentatives separately.

Ministers Naon of Argentina and

quarters on the Canadian side Of the

1t was easy enough to see that he
had been through pretty severe ill.

least with his energy. One of the first
things he did was to summon his sec

accumulated mail. There was noun

it promised to occupy several days.
The colonel would not talk politics
for publication but it was evident that
he had not lost his interest in the sub
jeet, for he had an afternoon appoint

see him. Other progressives were
scheduled to meet him later.
1t was understood the colonel would
not discuss 1916 presidential probabil-
tiles or rOgressive-Iepubliean affairs
until after these interviews. That he
had discussed the presidency was one
of tne first things he denied as his
steamer, the Aidan, drew into New
York harbor yesterday.
The ex-president seemed entirely to
have forgotten his new South Ameri-

grandson, Richard herby, Jr., son of
his daughter, Ethel, and of DR.. Richard

to make the acquaintance of this young
person, with waom he was plainly de.

who wanted to question the colonel
