The Mexicans made no attempt to cross the river but opened fire early today at an American ranchman on the Texas side of the border and later a de- tachment of cavalry was ordered to the scene.
 American troopers had been on guard at the point since yesterday, when they chased to the Mexican side band of invaders, who, Thur sday night, footed stores on the American side. Forty MeXicans were counted. Before the firing began they maneuvered through the brush until they had spread down the tortuous river bank a distance of two miles. When the Mexicans opened Tire it was returned by the troopers who were soon joined by rangers from Mission. Word was sent to Mission and Captain Mccoy and the remainder of the two troops of cavalry went to the scene of trouble
 The trouble area today was confined to the Mission district and Browns Vile. separated by 65 miles.

 Although Major General Funston in charge of troops at the border, has practically all the mobile forces in the United States under his command, to- days reports of firing across the iron tier and encounters with the raiders led to discussion among administra- ton officials as to whether some more positive measures should not be taken.
 Army officers recalled that General Taylor in 1S46 took stern steps to quell situation which was almost the same
 There were no official advices to sup port reports that Mexican troops were massing along the northeast border of Texas. but the question of protecting the line was regarded with growing apprehension. The military command CTS in that section deny that any of their men are among the raiders but it has been reported that some of those killed wore uniforms.
 General Carranza's reply to the Pan American peace appeal still was lack ing today and among his supporters here it was predicted 1t would be re- lection.

AN IOWA IDEA.
The Coin Gard Method Adopted by the
Iowa Equal Suffrage Associa-
ton for Campaign Fund.

Des MOines, Aug. 10-Special-The
coin card, truly Iowa idea, is one
method that the Iowa Equal Suffrage
association; has originated to raise
money for the campaign fund. These
cards come in packages, each pack
age representing something more
than $4,000, and should each cOun-
ty leader be responsible for the distri-
button of but one package, more than
$4,000 of the $4,000 campoign fund
would be raised in the ninety-nine
counties without anyone feeling the
burden of giving.
Under this plan the first person gets
three persons each to give dime,
making thirty cents for the one card.
Each of the three persons then takes
third of the entire package OF cards
and then each in turn gets three more
persons to give dimes and divides
the packages into thirds again. This
process continues until the original
package has been divided five times
into threes. In this way person
gives only dime from her own purse,
but when the whole package is re-
turned to headquarters it has netted
the suffrage cause little more than
500.
Senator Helen Ring Robinson, of
Colorado, will give four days to Iowa,
during the latter part of August, in
the interest of the suffrage cause Fol
lowing chautauqua engagement at
Guthrie Center, Senator Robinson's
time will be at the disposal of the
state suffrage association until her
departure for Chicago.

GOOD ROADS
NAN IS DEAD
Was vicc.President Of the Lincoln
Highway Observation-Disclosures
Real Cause OF Breakdown
HELPED PLAN LINCOLN Hler'w'Y
Great Highway Due More to Efforts
OF Mr.. Pardington Than to Those
Of Anyone Else.

Detroit, Motorists and good
roads workers in every part of the
United States are mourning the loss
of a real leader, a man who has per-
sonally done more perhaps than any
other one man for the cause to which
he had dedicated his life, the improve
ment of Americas road conditions
and the establishment of "a continu-
Gus, connecting. improved highway
from the Atlantic to the Pacific"
Arthur r. Pardington. vice-presi-
dent and secretary of the National
Lincoln Highway association, died
here Wednesday morning after a
short illness. which proved to be
general breakdown. His untiring et-
forts in the interests of the Lincoln
highway and his enthusiasm for the
work kept him at his desk almost
constantly during the past two years.
Urgings by his associates, who have
noted his waning strength for months,
to let up for short period and take
much needed rest went unheeded
ana he directed the active work OF
the association even after his removal
to the hospital.
1t is to Mr.. Pardingtons broad
knowledge of conditions, genius for
organization and capacity for unlim,
tied work, that the success OF the
Lincoln highway must be laid. His
interest and devotion to the cause
which he had made his life work
amounted almost to religion. His
acquaintance was nation wide and his
friends are counted by the hundreds.
Mr. Pardington has been associated
with the automobile industry since its
earliest inception, being chairman OF
the first contest board OF the Amerl-
can Automobile association. AS ref.
cree of great automobile classics he
was unexcelled, and he has ofhclated
at every Indianapolis speedway race
since they were inaugurated.
Previous to his taking active charge
OF the Lincoln highway propaganda
Mr. Pardington was associated with
w. X. Vanderbilt, Jr. in the construc-
ton of the Long Island Motor PARK
way.
Pres. Henry 3. Joy, Of the Lincoln
Highway association, pays Mr. Par;'-
.ington the highest tribute in saying;
'In the death of Mr.. Pardington the
patriotic work of the Lincoln High
way association suffers irreparable
loss. His collaborators have lost a
commanding officer of peerless ell
cheney, of unflagging effort even our
ing failing health and physical as
tress, of unflinching judicial fairness
with a patriotic devotion to the cause
OF the great memorial, the Lincoln
highway, which could not have been
exceeded in any cause.
1T is not too much to say. it is not
enough to say, that the Lincoln hlsn-
way insignia stretching from the mud
son river to Oakland on the Pacihc'
| is more his work than that OF any
other man. Thousands have given dol
lars to the cause. Pardington gave
himself"

Theodore Douglas Robinson, once
chairman of the progressive state
committee of New York, and always
nephew of the Colonel, advised all pro.
sressives in York state to enroll with
the republicans this year upon the
ground that the advanced principles
which they espouse can best be car
ried forward through the medium OF
the republican party" This is sound
common sense. 1t has already been
put into practice by most progressives
and in 1916 there will be no republican
division which will again put mi
nority party in control of national af-
fairs.
