IF GOOD EQUIPMENT FOR
 HOME GUARDS
Governor Learns of Krag Jorgenson Rifles in State Not in Use and Files Alp plication for Them-For Home Guards

There are nearly 2500 stands of krag Jorgenson rifles in Arizona this morning that have not been dls- turbed since the troops occupying Forts Huchuca and Apache were issued the new Springfield model rifles Accompanying this equipment is some 325,0O0 rounds of ammunl- ton suitable for use in the krags. Governor Hunt began steps last night to obtain the use of these arms for home guards. Wires were sent to Washington to the representatives there asking for all possible assist ance in obtaining the equipment II successful these arms will be turned over to the adjutant geenral and they will be issued and checked as other equipment is controlled.
 Since the landing of troops at
 Vera Cruz from the United States
 Warships in the harbor there, there
 has been d constant call upon Gov
 ernor Hunt and Adjutant General
 Harris for arms and ammunition for
 the equipment of home guards. This
 the governor has been unable to
 meet owing to the fact that the state
 has no extra armament Consequent ly d day or so ago telegrams were
 sent to Washington to the war ae-
 partment asking for five hundred stands of Krag Jorgenson rifles ana the necessary complement of ammu- milton. These guns were to be used by the home militia,
 The answer was received yesterday that the chances of the state recelv- ing any such armament were de- cidedly slim owing to the fact that the government had almost entirely disposed of the entire number of these rifles. The government the messages said could not issue them to the state.
 Thereupon Governor Hunt in an answering wire evidenced d desire to ] purchase the guns from the govern ment, and at a late hour last night | had received no reply to that mes l sage.

 President Wilson tried to make President Huerta resign. The con stitutionalists have been counting on the sympathy of the attitude of he United States toward Mexico This is explained by he conduct of Huerta in the Tampco affair. The quick action of the United States shows that they intended to intervene.

 President Wilson's message to congress does not seem to us to be message of state," declares Lap rensa.
 "The plan to overthrow Huerta in order to install a revolutionary gen eral in his place would signify off cia partiality on the part of the United States without bringing about the qualification of he country. The military action by the United States aim at Mexico, not at Huerta. We fear repitition in Mexico of | the protectorate system of the Unit ed States created in Cuba.

 WASHINGTON, April 24.-"We are not prepared to invade Mexico under the present conditions"
 This was Secretary Garrison's ex- planation of the war departments re- fucal to authorize General Bliss to seize the international bridges at La redo. Fl Paso and other points on the Rio Grande.
 Tn the secretary's opinion such an invasion of Mexico would be an act of war, though this view is strictly limited by the phrase under the present con- ditions."
 For the present, however the Ameri- can troops will make no effort to seize international bridges even though. as is commonly understood several of them are of American ownership The troops will probably content themselves with training artillery upon the Mexican ends of the bridges to prevent their de- struction by any one on that side.

Trying for Tourist Traffic.

That France is making heroic efforts
to capture the tourist traffic of the world.
and particularly the automobile touring
parties which recently appeared to shun
French roads, is evident from the plan
OF the government to spend S5nO0ooO
IN tarring and repairing 5000 miles of
highway. This mileage comprises about
cne-fourth of the entire highway sys-
tenn of the republic. The chief trouble
with French country inns is not the food
served. for this compares favorabiy with
that obtained in Germany and Switzer-
land. bu. the hostelries themselves are
uncomfortable and unhygienic, while
Frances neighbors are leaders of the
world in this respect. The ministry of
public works is working out a plan which
will take nearly ten years for compile
ton. 1t involves a graduated tax upon
all motor cars. ranging from $40 for a
twelve-horsepower car to $50 for a car
of sixty horsepower or more.
