"PORK BARREL" CROWD
WILL FIGHT BURTON
His Nomination as Presidential Candi-
date Will Be Opposed Regardless
of PARTY Lines.

Advocates Of pork barrel legislat ton.
regardless of party. are opposed to the
nomination of former Senator Theodore
f. Burton. of Ohio. as the Republican
Presidential candidate. Mr.. Burton
fought the last river and harbor bill
and his filibuster resulted in that meas
ure being cut to the bone. 1t is known
that Mr.. Burton, although out of Con-
gress. intends to continue the agita ton
for the adoption OF a plan for the allot
ment OF such appropriations in accord
ance with the needs of commerce. rather
than on the principle that every Con-
gresham must get slice of the money
allowed for such purposes every year.
Despite the opposition OF enthusiastic
advocates of river and barber appropria-
tions. those representing the Burton
boom say that it is looking up. Mr..
Burton has been out West beating the
bushes, and the result will be, his friends
say, that many delegates from that re-
gion to the next Republican convention
will be instructed for the former Senator
There is one black spot on the political
horizon in the view OF the Burton sup
porters Gov. Willis still believes that
he is Of Presidential size, and at present
sees no reason why he should step aside
for Burton. 1t is understood, also, that
there are other obstacles in the way of
the Burton boom in Ohio but In due sea-
son, according to friends of the Senator,
the way will be smoothed to assure the
election OF solid Burton delegation
from the Buckeye State.

SURRENDER OR death,
DEMAND BY funston
Raiding Bands of Mexicans to Be Ex-
terminated Unless They
Yield.

That Gen. Funston has complete au-
thority to utilize all the Federal troops
now on the border in any way neces-
sary to crush brigandage was admitted
at the War Department yesterday. Be
cause of this fact it Is not believed that
there will be any attempt made by Fun
ston and his officers to parley with the
raiding bands OF Mexicans but that they
will be exterminated unless they sur
render. Under his instructions. officials
here hold. Gen. Funston could cross into
Mexico to defeat any armed bands that
endeavor to seek refuge south of the Rio
Grande.
The text OF Gen. Funston's report on
the situation is withheld at the War De-
partment. 1t is admitted that he be-
lieves that an organized conspiracy ex-
lists to make trouble and that he holds
the Carranza commanders along the bor-
der responsible. Most of the Mexicans
that have been killed in the fighting to
date have worn the uniform OF Car
ranza's army.
Despite this fact the Carranza junta
here continues to issue statements de-
rying that any Carranzistas have been
concerned in the Texas troubles. The
jun1a insists that the Carranza generals
along the border have been directed to
prevent brigands crossing INTO the United
States. but makes no explanation as to
why this order is not obeyed
1t is expected that strong representa-
tons will be made to Carranza by the
State Department if CarranZa soldiers
Continue to cross into Texas. Officials
have several times been informed that
Carranza would gladly involve the United
States in trouble with Mexico if con-
vinCed that he cannot secure recognition
and the present developments on the bor
der. it is admitted. lends color to these
reports.

MOVES TOWARD PEACE
PREMATURE SAYS
U. S. Not Good Messenger to Bear
Advances to Belligerents. Opinion
of Pontiff.

Rome, Sept. 6.-As result OF in
quiries III regard TO the alleged mis-
sion which, it is said, the Pope had
entrusted to Cardinal Gibbons on the
subject of peace between the warning
nations, it is learned that the Pope
does not know of any initiative which
the Cardinal may have taken; he Is
awaiting an opportunity to take new
steps when the moment arrives At
present any overture would be prema-
ture.
1t is also learned that the Pope be-
lieves that media ton by the United
States would be less suita ple at the
present moment because the relations
between that country and Germany
are not of the best and the whole pol
icy Of the United States appears to
tend towards the entente.
According to the Pope's belief. media
ton could only be offered by a govern
ment which Is in no way committed to-
ward any belligerent. such as Switzer-
land, Spain, and. perhaps. the Scandina-
Wan countries but when the time ar
rives the Pope will not seek any alliance
with civil states. AS head of Christian
ity he will continue to raise his voice in
favor of peace. and it will be so much
the better il some civil states desire
to range themselves at his side.
Today the Giorcnal Italia. the clerical
organ, publishes the following:
We are in position to state that the
Holy Father did not send any autograph
letter nor message regarding peace to
President Wilson but nothing more than
the original OF the Pontihcal letter ad-
dressed to the belligerent peoples and
their leaders. His holiness had had no
further occasion to send letters to the

specific case of violation of the Kenyon

sent in an automobile to the scene. They
met the Investigator at Four-and "A If

Their attention was directed to a house
on Maine avenue, from which hilarious
voices and the strains OF a ,Haphophone

formed that white men had been going
in and out all evening. and that women n
in the house had been openly soliciting

evidence was offered
Precautions Exercised.
In a barroom on the east side of Third

vestigator was told by an employe that a
house on Third street. between B and c
streets. was OF a disorderly nature. The
man explained that owing to the presence
of A policeman more care was being
taken than usual and 1t was necessary
to be recognized before being admitted
He carefully folded the half of a

investigator to walk quietly up to the
door with the paper in one hand and
rap. The door would he opened. he
stated. and all that would be necessary
was to walk in.
The investigator went to the house and
found conditions as represented by the

absented himself to ask the detectives
to follow him in. They refused, however.
giving the same reason as in the other
instance.

CIRCUS
BEST EVER SEEN HERE

The Hagenbeck-Wallace circus
which gave two performances in this
city on Tuesday, was said by old-tfm-
ers to have been the very best show
ever seen in Dawson county.
After seeing so many punk tent
shows from alleged minstrels and Tex
as rangers all the way to make-belieye
circuses, it was surely a treat to see
the big Hagenbeck-Wallace outfit.
The show carries an army OF perform
ers and tent hands, have 400 horses
and 200 other animals, and ride from
city to city in two sections of palat-
ial train Of private cars.
While the circus took out great
amount of money from the city, more
than 900 people witnessed both per-
formances, quite large sum was re-
turned to the city for supplies OF all
kinds, of which many hundreds OF dol
lars worth are used daily.
It was a show really worth while
seeing and the company can be sure
Of getting a much better attendance
If they ever happen to come this way
again.

A BASEBALL FIELD DAY
SUGGESTED BY MANY FANS

It has been suggested by goodly
number of fans that the last day of
baseball in this city this season shall
be known as Field Day, and that after
the game is played the remainder Of
the afternoon be devoted to contests
of skill in the various departments of
the National sport.
The hitting contests could include
long distance hits, the placing of hits
and bunting; the throwing could in
clude long distance throwing, accur-
acy in throwing to bases, etc. and the
running could include running to first,
stealing second and third and making
the circuit.
In the east the prizes for the win
ners in the various contests are taken
out of the net receipts of the game,
and it is anticipated that in the event
of the suggestion being taken advant-
age Of by Manager Healy, the attend
ance will be large enough to provide
for the prizes as we'll as to pay the
regular expenses of the team on that
day.

AGAIN CHANGES HANDS

Tuesday afternoon the details of a

the billiard parlor within the past two
years, the place having been operated
by Mr.. Brown, T. F. Moore and L. H.
Bachman before him.
The deal included the purchase of
the Sanitary barber shop, which was
formerly run by Messrs. Snyder &

land, which Mr.. Lee is said to have
valued at SO per acre.
Mr.. Lee does not anticipate any rad
ical change in the operation of the
billiard hall and the balcony is to be
run and the baseball scores are to be
received the same as usual. Harry
