Texans Protest to
Attorney General on
Disorders on Border

Attorney General Gregory has received
a flood Of letters and kilograms the last
few days from friends In the Browns
vile. Texas. district advising him OF the
condition of anarchy prevailing along
the border and urging Government
action.
Mr.. Gregory said today that he be-
lieved an Increased cavalry patrol may
be necessary to protect American life
and property from Brownsville. at the
mouth OF the Rio Grande. to a point 100
miles or so inland along the stream.
which is the seat Of the present trouble.
The great difficulty with which the
American troops will have to cope. Mr..
Gregory said. was that the Rio Grande
can be crossed by skiffs or fords at
most any place along this strip. and that
cavalry patrol along the entire sec
tion VIII probably be necessary.
The Attorney General believes that
the bulk of the border troops can be d.
verted TO the task Of suppressing the
army OF liberty of Mexico and Texas" "
as border patrols are only necessary al
other points along the hundreds OF miles
Of Texas border to El Paso where there
are Mexican towns or where the stream

Company X Of the Ninth Infantry took
station at Kingsville, Tex. on Tuesday
night. The remainder Of the third bat

A report that soldiers and Mexicans
have engaged in a battle Ia denied. One
Mexican was killed at Mercedes late
last night.
American refugees. mostly women and
children, continue to arrive In Corpus
Christi from the valley country.
Uthcial reports from the Rio Grande
valley indicate the Mexicans are more
thoroughly organized than was believed.
The reports say the movement IL we'll
financed. and an attempt Is being made
to find out the sources Of the finances.
General Funston, at San Antonio, IL
reported prepared to call for additional
troops to quell the uprising.
A battalion OF the Ninth United States
Infantry was sent here from Laredo yes
terday to re-enforce the troops and
Texas Rangers.
just as II IT were real war, the
censorship lid Is clamped on here to-
day.
From sheriffs. peace officers and cit-
zens UP to army officers. silence Is
the rule regarding border operations.
AS a result the usual Mexican rumor
factory is operating overtime. Re-

these. along with number Of other
yarns. proved unfounded.
The bandits operations apparently
have been transferred westward into

Governor Ferguson. Congressman
Garner and other political leaders are

State troops will be called out. In ac-

Citizens are still terror stricken.

The explosion Of a bomb in the Hindoo
temple in san Erancisco a few weeks
ago has brought me a number OF ques-
lions In regard to explosives and the
mysterious ways In which the force OF
explosions exert Themselves Here is one
Of them enclosing a newspaper clipping
which reads:
THE force of the explosion appeared to
be outward toward the Filbert street en-
trance of the temple. Little destruction
was done by the bomb directly under the
spot where It was exploded. and 1t is be-
heved that Vavra constructed IL with
giant gunpowder instead OF with nitro
giycerin. The force of mtroglycerin
exploding is almost invariably down

An inquirer who mailed me the lore

plosiVes exert their forces In different di-
