Militia Mobilization.

Washington, June 23.-Orders issued
yesterday for the militia of California,
Kansas and Missouri to move to the
border so soon as ready are being
carried out with promptness, accord
ing to information received here.
While the movement of these troops
will not be specifically announced, for
military reasons, it is known that
some of the troops are already being
entrained or are speeding to the bor-
der, and others will follow immedi-
ately, relieving the regulars on the
border that they may be rushed to
the reinforcement of Pershing.
1t is expected that similar orders
will follow for the militia Of other
states in the immediate future.
The railroads are turning their
equipment over to the government
without limit as needed, and the trans
portation of troops is most rapid.

Commissioner of Corporation H. l..
Carnahan has laid down this rule in
issuing a permit authorizing the Gaso-
line Consumers Association, a Cali
fornia corporation, with an au-
thorized capital stock of 100000, to
sell its shares. The promoters pro-
pose to sell only one share of the par
value of S100 to any subscriber and
estimate that an initial investment OF
not less than $4,000 is necessary to
start the business successfully.
The permit issued recites that the

partment will not stand in their way,

Mexicans Leaving.

Nogales, Ariz., June 23.-With the
sudden mounting of a border guard
on the Mexican side this afternoon.
the departure of many well-to-do
Mexican residents on the Tucson train,
and the warning by the Mexican con-
sulate to Mexican store employees to
collect their wares and wages and
make ready to leave, tension was re-
newed here and a telegram was sent
to President Wilson asking that mar
tial law be declared.

evidence submitted to the department
shows that none of the promoters "has
any special experience in or capacity
for developing, managing or operating
such busines, or any special knowl-
edge of the oil refining industry;
also that no detailed plan for the op-
Grafton of the company or its business
has been presented.
For these reasons it is made a
condition of the permit that the sub
scriptions shall not become effective
for any purpose or create any liabll-
ity on the part of the subscriber un-
til not less than 1000 bona fide sub
scriptions have been secured from re-
sponsible subscribers. It is made a
further condition that no part of the
purchase price shall be paid or be-
come payable except upon call made
by the board of directors Of the as
sociation, all of the members of which
shall have been elected at special
meeting of the subscribers.
The promoters of the enterprise are
to receive commission of not more
than 20 per cent for their services in
securing the subscriptions, but, as
none of the money is available, they
cannot cash in until not less than
100000 per value of the company's
shares have been subscribed.
The shares are to be sold in Los
Angeles and at other points in South
ern California.

The scheme includes the "rip-rap-
ping of the slopes and it is probable
that the stones for the purpose will be
moved from the new Cameron park
way near the almshouse. Lack of suf-
ficient funds has prevented this move
ment thus far and it Is probable that
the funds for the entire improvement
will be taken from the park loan. Less
than $4,000 remains in that fund now
and this will be from $4,000 to $12,-
900 shy of what would likely be need
ed to construct the proposed subway
under the Philadelphia and Reading
tracks near PaXtang. The money was
being held for that purpose.
