REVIEW At FL PASo.


Ell Paso. May S.-Citizens of Ell
Paso and Juarez were given an oppor-
tunity to see at close range the guar
dams Of the border. when Brig.-Gen.
John J. Pershing, commander of the
division of troops stationed in this Sec
ton, reviewed 4. 900 of his troops after
they had paraded through the streets
OF the city. Every branch of the serv-
ice, with the exception Of coast artil-
lery and the aviation corps. was rep
resented in the review. The review
was made the occasion Of . holiday
here. Banks and business houses
were closed and traffic was suspended

sion of the legislature. One provided
that it should constitute a misdemean-
or to exact a fee from a workman for
providing employment. The other bill
provided for the establishment of a
system of state and municipality OPP
Grated offices. Neither bill was pass
ed, employers and employment sharks
combining to prevent favorable CON
sideration
Il believe the public is sufficiently
aroused upon this subject to join with
us in stamping out this evil Laud-
able perhaps in the beginning as a
means of putting the man out of work
in touch with profitable employment,
the system has grown into a mOnst-
rous evil which fattens upon the last
dollar the iObless man possesses, and
laughs in his face when, disappointed,
victimiZed, he seeks a return of his
money. There seems but one way to
right this wrong and that is by put
ting the paid employment office as an
institution, out of business.
"A bill making it a misdemeanOr
for any employment agent or his rep
resentative, to exact either directly or
indirectly, from the workman, fee
for furnishing him employment has
been prepared and will be turned over
to you for your consideration. A bill
almost exactly similar but applying
to seamen only, passed the federal
congress and has been upheld by the
supreme court of the United States.

reparation we're earnestly sought.
According to NJ. Clause an investi-
cation into the deaths has been or
dered by General Carranza. He said
the reason given by the Constitu-
tjonaiists for the killing Of the two
Frenchmen was that they protected

ecutions learned by the French En-
bassy was that the two men had re-
fused to pay money to- the Consti'u-
tionalists. The embassy's informa-
ton is from witnesses, of the affair.
N. ,,la.;sse asked that representa-
tons be made that the responsibility
for the executions be definitely

States government under the Sher-
man antitrust law.

Railroad Company. Some of these
directors are the most important
financicrs of the country.

Gently styled zone of the most glar-
ing instances of maadministration
revealed in all the history of Amer
ican railroading."

Attempts to Impeach Hus-

Papers Are Sprung.
ARE ALLEGED MYTHS
Politics Interjected into Trial-Al-
legged Whitewashing-Brain Storm
Plea of Defense.

Paris, July 22.-As a result of his
demand made upon the government,
Maitre Labori, famed as the defend
er Of Captain Dreyfus, today scored
his first victory in the trial of Nine.
Caillaux for the killing of Castor
Calmette.
Prosecutor Herbauy, on behalf of
the government, declared in open
court that the alleged Agadir docu-
ments, duplicating Caillaux in a
scandal in connection with Moroccan
affairs do not exist. The announce
ment was Immediately followed by
demonstration on the part Of
friends of the dead editor.
Counsel representing the Calnette
interests protested violently, declar-
ing the trial "was becoming a politi-
cal white-washing for Caillaux."
Labori had demanded just before
adjournment yesterday that the
prosecutor state whether papers were
in existence attacking the honor of
'Cailaux and declaring he would
withdraw from the case unless an
answer was Forthcoming. He ac-
cepted the statement of HerbauX to-
day and Caillaux returned to the
stand.
The former prime minister vigor-
ously defended his patriotism. He
challenged any one to show that he
had ever acted with any thought
than for the glory and advancement
of the republic. AS CaillauX pro-
ceeded in the defense Of his political
acts and in denouncing the measures
taken in the attacks upon him, those
in the court room were reused to
feverish excitement.
There were cheers mingled with
hisses, and hostile manifestations
against the witness.
Throughout the time her husband
was on the stand, Nine. Caillaux
hardly took her eyes from him.
Every gesture was followed, as he
defended his own acts and defed his
enemies.

to heighten the startling effect on the
grass-covered meadow lands, Mabel
Wallace, a surprisingly pretty girl,
was arrested Monday evening near
Jun:ata by Constable William Roland
and taken to Leisenring, where she
was given hearing today before
Squire Graham. She was later COM
ritted to jail.
1t developed during the hearing
that the Rainey coke, interests had
demanded the capture and arrest of
the wood nymph, whose playful
moods in the shady dells of the
region have proved such magnet
for the male population t1at the
small towns were in danger of being
depopulated of ali the men folks,
and it would soon be impossible to
keep men to fire the ovens while she
was in the neighborhood.

ISSUE WITH FRANCE
Wilson Bids Revolutionists to Avoid
Feud-Feeling of Pessimlsm on
!Amicable Settlement.

Washington, D. c., July 22.-Pro-
visional President Carbajal does not
intend to surrender Internationally
to General Carranza and will con-
centrate his military forces and re-
sist an invasion rather than permit
the Constitutioralists to enter Mex
leo City without previous agreements
not to wreak vengeance on the lives
and property of those who supported
General Huerta.
This is the tenor of information
from authoriatives sources in Mexico
City to Washington diplomats. 1t
has spread feeling of pessln1lsm in
some quarters over the possibility
of an amicable settlement Of the rev.
olution. ~
In come diplomatic quarters there
is disposition to regard the stu
alton as unfavorable.
An aspect of the situation which
was commented upon was the know
ledge that General Carranza, while
informing the American Consuls ut
Monterey, that he would receive a
commission from Carbaja!, made it
plain that he would do SO only to ar
range the unconditional surrender by
the Mexico City authorities.
These uncomprising terms have
puzzled diplomats who were hoping
for quick solution. They believe
! he decisive Influence fo; peace or q
continuation of the civil strife rests
with the United States. There was
no indication today how far the
American Government was prepared
to exert pressure on Carranza to OBJ
tain an amnesty and guarantees.
Diplomats were watching with
keen interest the reports stating that
General Villa was again threatening
break with C;.rranza. TIE death Of
Two French clergymen and the i'm
prisonmsnt Of / others, is giving the
French government much concern.

recton late today.
Washington, July 22.-Despite the
reports from Mexico that the entire
constitutionalist army is being mas
sed to take Mexico City by assault,
if necessary, Administration leaders
continue confident that this will not
happen. They base their hopes on
the statements made by Francisco
Caidcron to the President that Car

Dispatches from Vienna and other
capitals indicate growing tension in
the relations between Austria and
Servia. It is asserted by Austrian
newspapers that an investigation in
to the recent assassination of Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand and his wife
at Sarajeyo. tends to establish at
least the indirect completely of Ser
via and that. the Austrian govern
ment will make strong representa-
tions at Belgrade on the subject. A
prominent Cracow newspaper de
clares that Austria is determined to
use this opportunity to settle in her
own favor both the Servian and AL
bantam questions, and that she is
negotiating to this end with Turkey
and Bulgaria. Rumors of possible
war caused a semipanic on the Ber-
lin and Vienna courses yesterday.
