FEAR MORE SERIOUS
TROUBLE ON BORDER
By The United Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l.-Ihat latest
additions to General Funstons military
forces on the Rio Grande were due TO
increasingly threatening Mexican border
conditions was reiterated in persistnt
reports and equally emphatically denied
by War Department officials today. The
unofficial version was that there actu-
ally was much in the story that a move
ment is on foot among the border Mexi-
cans to recover a considerable part Of
territory on the American side of the in
ternational line for their own country
II was not, Of course, pretended that
this was likely TO develop into a serious
campaign, but the assertion was made
that il was extremely likely to result
in far graver border disorders than have
yet occurred.
The account, encc ragged by the Car
rama agency here. was also current that
German money is being spent literally
in Mexico 10 stir up trouble which will
keep the United States too busy at home
to concern herself with European affairs.
The official version was that the trans
fer ordered Tuesday night from Calves
ton of the Fourth Infantry and Sixth
Cavalry to Harlngen of two battalions
of the Nineteenth Infantry to go to
Fort Sam Houston, and of the Third
Battalion of the Nineteenth to go to Del
Rio, had been arranged with General
Funston in advance. as part Of a general
plan for policing the border and that
the movement had nothing to do with
conditions of the moment
A third theory, widely accepted, was
that. while no grave danger exists just
now. preparations are being made with q
view TO development of the Washing
ton Administrations plan for restoration
/ of order in Mexican undertaking
which, while having peace for its OBJ
iect. is believed in many quarters Il
have possibilities of trouble in the early
stages of its execution.

siderable money. Bills amounting to
$3.50 were due today for repairs and

Wires and Poolrooms.

One phase of the Maryland raid on a
so-called clubhouse which was appar-
entity no other than a racetrack pool
room, causing the confinement of an
uncomfortably large crowd in an in
adequate Jail in Annapolis, is worthy
Of serious consideration both by the
authorities and by the public service
corporations which are necessarily in
volved in all such enterprises. These
places cannot be maintained without
telegraphic or telephone service. The
telegraph companies, of course. know. as
a matter Of practical fact. the purpose
for which wires are engaged by the
promoters Of these clubs" 1t is not
their business. to be sure. to safeguard
the public morals. but it should be their
concern, and it would be a gratifying
advance in the elimination of this most
despicable form of gambling if the wire
companies were to deny all applications
for service in cases where there is a
substantial reason to suspect that it is
to be used for such a purpose.
In a sense the position of the wire
companies in this matter Is somewhat
like that of the vendor Of deadly
weapons, who is permitted by the law
to sell to any applicant who gives a
name and an address. The man who
sells a gun when he has reason to feel
that the weapon is intended for a crimi-
nal purpose makes himself morally q
party to the crime. although the law
permits him to conduct the transaction.
Thus the telegraph company that sells
race track information. knowing that it
Is to bs used for gambling purposes,
