TEXANS NEED PROTECTION.
Action by the federal government
in response to the appeal to President
Wilson of Governor Ferguson of
Texas, for an increase Of troops in
the Rio Grande valley, was awaited
today by officials, who have not been
able to stop depredations of bands Of
Mexican raiders.
Governor Ferguson in his appkal
declared that the situation was grave
and that he was doubtful of the abii-
ity Of the state forces and local Of
ficials to longer control the situation.
Citizens of Brownsville and other bor-
der cities did not agree that the trou-
bles were due to political feuds. The
raiders were said to be organized in
to several bands working under the
plan Of San Diego" a movement
started year ago at San Diego,
Texas, where resolutions were passed
for wrestling from the United States
strip of territory along the border
to be added to Mexico.
While the situation was expected to
be partly relieved with the arrival
of the Third battalion, Ninth infantry
sent from Laredo yesterday, expires
sion Of officials generally were that
it would require more soldiers to sup
press the movement.
The zone of the operations of the
raiders was widened TO a large ex-
tent in the last twenty-four hours.
The latest meeting Of the raiders withs
troops was reported from Katherine
so miles north of Brownsville, where
band Of thirty or more Mexicans at
tempted daring raid on the one store
of the town. The attempt was fruaA
trated by a dozen United States SOL
diers, stationed in the store, who fir
ed on the bandits, injuring two, it
was believed. No reports came of
further killing since Monday when
ten persons were killed.
Confirmation was lacking of re-
ports that Mexican soldiers in con-
Siderable numbers was crossing the
border to join the alleged revolution
airy movement, although Governor
Ferguson, in his appeal to the presi-
dent declared that "any unusual oc-
currence now would cause a disas-
trous invasion of Texas from Mex
ico."

NAME OFFICERS
FOR 4 STRONG
ORGANIZATION
WILLIAM SHACKELFORD HEADS
THE CONSOLIDATED BODY OF
HARBOR WORKMEN - CHAR
TER is AZ YEARS OLD.

A meeting of the consolidated labor
organization, made up of the Cotton
Screwmen and the S. B. A. No. /,
was held last night for the purpose
of reorganization. There was an en-
thusiastic gathering, and it was
stated that many were present who
are not very frequent visitors to the
meeting hall.
The main question before the as
semblage was the reorganization, and
this was done by the election of new
officers. This was a feature which
many took part in, and the utmost
harmony prevailed throughout the
session.
When the question of reorganiza-
ton was proposed last night, EXPIRES
ident Thos. H. Johnson was called tc
the chair and was selected as tenn
porary chairman. John Beck was Sc
lected as temporary secretary.
The vote of the consolidation of the
organizations under the recently-per.
fected amalgamation of two labor as
semblies was carried and then the
matter of electing officers for the
practically-new, but greatly-strength
ened and reinforced organization wal
in order. This resulted as follows:
President - William ("Chip"

Vice-President-Gus Johnson.
Recording Secretary-John Gerkins
Financial Secretary-William Otto

to the attention of those present las
night, and it had been intended t
give sort of celebration in com
memoration of the event, but on &C
count of general conditions, the ar
i niversary will possibly be not so cele
brated, and the members will conter
themselves by an otherwise apprecis

THREE MORE MEXICAN
OUTLAWS ARE KILLED

Brownsville, Texas, Aug. H.
Three more Mexican outlaws today
were added to the list of killed in the
fighting between Mexican raiders and
Americans as the result of battle
near Mercedes, Hiralgo county, 80
miles northwest of here.
It is not known whether soldiers,
county officers or rangers participate
ed in the fighting. Officers have
adopted a policy of refusing to give
details of fights in which they are
concerned. This is said to account
for the lack of the confirmation of a
report that either other Mexican ban
dts were killed in Hidalgo county
since Friday.
It is reported here that a quantity
of Mauser rifles was found today con-
cealed under some brush by rangers
and troops near Mercedes.
The equipment is said to be similar
to that used by Carranza forces.
General E. P. Naffarette, Carranza
commander at Matamorous today de-

GERMANS AWAITING
SOME REINFoRCEMENTs

Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. IA
dispatch to the Geneva Tribune from
Innsbruck, capital of the Austrian Ty-
rol, says:
German operations have been sus-
pended on the Kovno- Suwalki-G rodnc
front because Of a lack of reinforce
ments, no new troops having arrived
since August 4.
"The Russian offensive at Kovno is
of the greatest Importance as the
German first line troops, chiefly Prus-
sian landwehr suffered terrible losses
August 8 and 9. In this section as
well as in the region between Lomza
and the Bug it is remarked that many
regiments are much below the aver
age in strength"

President Thomas mentioned two
reasons why the educational bill in
the legislature failed. He said that
in the first place the measure did not
take heed to the belief in local re-
sponsibility to schools, that exists in
this state, but proposed to put the
management of the schools largely I'M
der state control. The second reason
why it failed was because of the char
acter of the education it prescribed It
took a low view of Vermont. It pre-
scribed a peasant education for the
lpeople of Vermont. Nothing will sue
coed in Vermont that is based on
low estimate of the people of the state,
that regards Vermont as the back
woods Of Boston.
The Story of Middlebury.
The speaker then gave a very en-
| tertaining story Of his experiences at
Middlebury from business standpoint
since his election as president in 1907.
| The college needed building up and he
went for financial assistance to per-
needy colleges. Mr.. Carnegie, the
general education board and Mrs Rus
| sell Sage all declined to help, for the
reason that there was not a sufficient
income from buttons to meet their re-
quirements, but finally D. X. Pearsons
of Chicago, Vermonter, promised
$500 if the institution would raise
$4,000. Most persons considered it
an impossible thing, but on his in
auguration day President Thomas
made known the offer, appealed for
help and before night $22,110 more
had been pledged In just one year the
entire amount was raised, and part
of the money was used in building q
girls dormitory. Later, with the aid
of $4,000 from the general education
board, 100000 was raised for q gym
nasium and chemistry building and to
increase the endowment. Today the
institution is on a sound footing, the
student body has increased from 200
to $50, the standard has been raised.
the income greatly increased, the faeu,-
tv increased from Is to 81, and the
college finds itself IN unique situa-
ton, the late Joseph Battell having
willed it thousands of acres Of farm
and timber lands, a business block, 4
lsummer hotel, string of Morgan
horses, newspaper, printing plant and
iother property. If President Tucker
had gone to Niddlebury instead of
Dartmouth, Middlebury would now
have such an institution as Hanover
has.
