THREE GREAT LAWS.

Never before in one day has q
President signed three measures SO
important as the army, navy and
Philippine bills approved yesterday.
The army and navy bills mark the
longest step wei taken in time OF
peace for national defense. After
passing the army reorganization bill,
which increases the strength Of the
regular army and creates a strong
second line Of defense by federaliza-
ton Of the organized states militia.
Congress appropriated $2e7, 900, 900 for
the army.
BY the appropriation Of 1915, 900, 900
for the navy. Congress also assured
its restoration to its proper place OF
power among the navies Of the world.
At the head Of the long list Of new
ships to be constructed are four
superdreadnoughts and four battle
cruisers %outclassing any ships Of their
kind in foreign navies. New con.
~struction includes 121 warships, from
superdreadnoughts to submarines.
Under the continuing program OF con.
struction adopted In the navy bill, go
more ships will be added, among them
six superdreadnoughts and two battle
cruisers.
The total sum appropriated this
session by Congress for the national
defense-for the army, navy. coast
Notifications and the military acad.
emy-will aggregate about 1854, O0O,.
900.
In the Philippines the time has
come for the extension OF the rights
OF self.government after nearly 20
years under American rule. At present
only the lower branch OF the Philip.
pine legislature Is elected by a small
class of voters. The Philippine bill
abolishes the Philippine Commission.
an appointive body, and substitutes
for II an elective senate, while In.
creasing the number OF electors in the
Islands from 100000 to about 500. 900.
II is a charter OF home rule Of the
kind long promised the Filipinos.
On such a record OF achievement as
show In these three laws OF the same
date, Congress and the administration
can we'll afford to appeal to the coun.
try.-New York World.

Hauling eleven and twelve bales Of
cotton to the Navasota market over

That Bryan Is soon to have a real,
first-class, upto-date cold storage
plant is now a settled fact. The plant,
as announced through the columns Of
The Eagle several weeks ago, is to be
built by our enterprising groceryman
and poultry dealer, Mr.. Allen Smith.
This gentleman has long since realiz-
ed that with his immense business It
would be hard for him to operate
same longer without the storage plant.
1t is a fact not widely known that Mr..
Smith is one Of the largest shippers
OF dressed poultry in the whole state
OF Texas. The plant Mr.. Smith has
purchased, and which should arrive in
a short time, will have a capacity OF
about four car loads, and this gentle.

HAIR CUT SLOW IN LONDON
AS ALL EXPERTS ARE, GONE

New York, takes twice as long to
get your hair cut in London as it did
before the war; In Itself this loss of
time can scarcely be called momen-
tous, but as a symptom it is signif-
cant of a great deal. The fact that
London BARRIERS are reducing their
stats and have to fall back upon in
expert assistance is a single illustra-
ton of industrial changes that are GO
ing on everywhere.
Let me give few examples from
my personal knowledge. The other
day the spring of the paper carriage
Of my typewriter broke and took the
machine to a leading firm of typewrit-
er repairers to get it mended. 1t was
more than month before l got it

only ten men left out of a normal
staff of about fifty.

Larned, Kan, July 1.-Enoch Chase
had a peculiar experience last week
while taking the logs out of the old
dugout on Mel Hicks's south eighty.
He ran across a joint snake down be-
tween the logs and hit it with his
spade. Of course every joint flew
apart and started to wiggle off.
Enoch, just for joke, picked up one
of the joints and put it into a bucket
and then slipped behind the logs and
waited to see what would happen. In
about ten minutes he heard a cort Of
low whistle and then rustling. The
head of the joint snake came out of
the weeds and looked around. 1t then
made a peculiar whistle and another
joint backed up and fastened on to
the head.
The head whistled twice and joint
No. 2 came out, and so on, so many
whistles for each joint, until it came
time for the one Enoch had in the
bucket. At it's call the thing thrashed
around in the bucket like all possess
ed, but couldn't get out. Of course
without the joint that fit, the snake
couldn't get together.

LIONS BITE CHEAP.
BOY GETS SIS DAMAGES IN SUIT
AGAINST THE OWNER OF
JUNGLE QUEEN

Paterson, N. j., July Judge Jo-
seph A. Delany has awarded $75 dam
ages in $500 action brought by
Frederick Mooney, a grocery boy,
against Felix Gould, a school teacher,
because, according to MONEYS testi-
mony, Gould's pet lioness bit him.
Like thunderbolt," testified Moo
ney, "the beast leaped for my leg and
held on for ten minutes. Doctors bills
and loss of time from work cost him
$50, he said.
Gould said he got Queenie, the lion
ess, from Central Park zoo in June,
1914, when she was but a few weeks
old. He said he had brought her up
on milk and that she was as tame as
a kitten, and often played with chill
dren and never bit anybody. He de-
MED that she attacked Mooney, and
said that Mooney wanted to match
Queenie in fight with MONEYS bull
dog.
Judge Delaney decided that to lead
a lioness in the street constituted neg
ligence.

THIS ALLIGATOR CAN BARK,
IF CALIFORNIANS TELL TRUTH

San Jose, Cal, July IA strange
freak of nature, which some believe to
be a young alligator and others say
cannot be classified under that head,
has been captured in Soap lake near
Gilroy, this county, by Leland B. Hol-
loway.
When handled or otherwise aroused,
the thing emits a sound which is de-
clared to be a cross between bark
and grunt. Holloway will take the
freak to the University of California,
where he will ask that an attempt be
made to classify it.

ing in a cross between an alligator

FORD TO SPEND $8,0O0,00G
IN BUILDING PART PLANTS

Detroit, July 1.-Plans for blast
furnaces and part making plants, to
be erected at the River Rouge and the
Pere Marquette railroad by the Ford
Motor company at a cost of $8,0G0,-
900, wer announced today.
At least four furnaces will be erect
ed, and it is the company's plan to
have ore brought directly to them,
leaving the Ford company dependent
on no one but the mines and its own
resources. This action was decided
upon despite the fact that the c,n,-
pany now has contracts with other
firms extending over period of four
years for parts not now made in the
Detroit plant.
/ Work on the new plants will be be-
gun in the fall. and will not interfere
with the previously announced plans
! Of Henry Ford to, erect a huge tractor
plant. Operations on the latter will
not begin before spring.
Along with the announcement Of the
increased operations comes the report
that Henry Ford was recently offered
$20G000,000 for the Ford plant. Ford
refused, adding that during his life
the plant would not fall into The hands
OF capitalists, who would make the
plant the basis of q monopoly.

MEXICO DECIDEDLY DEFIANT
In SEMI OFFICIAL MEMORANDUM
ANSWERING PRESIDENTS NOTE
Carranza Declares United States Had
no Right to Cross Border--Tone
is Impudent

Mexico City, July 1.-The Mexican
foreign office yesterday issued a mem
orandum in reply to Lansing's recent
note in which correctness of asser-
lions in a communication from Wash
ington were repeatedly denied. The
memorandum declares that the United
States had no right to maintain armed
forces in Mexico.
Although not in the form of di
rect reply to Lansing's note it is con-
sidered equivalent to an answer. 1t
expresses surprise that Washington
should be panied at the tone and con-
tents of the Carranza document since
it maintains that the United States
sent many overbearing notes to the
Carranza government.
Denies Bandits Were Allotted
The document denies that the Mex
lean government protected the bandits
who committed depredations in the
United States and defes Washington
to prove this. The blame for the Ysa-
bel murder is placed on the irascible
disposition Of Charles Watson of Gus
imine
Watson, the memorandus asserts,
was warned against making the trip
by General Trevino.
Sore at U. S. Generals
The Mexican statement also accuses
Generals Scott and Funston with bad
faith in misleading Oregon in an al
legged evasive reply regarding the
crossing of American troops after the
Glenn Springs raid.
The memorandum says that if it is
true that the United States arrested
Huerta the motive which prompted it
was for Huerta permitting plotting
with Germany.
The memorandum concluded by say
ing the presence of American troops
in Mexico incites rather than prevents
bandit raids.

Expect Defiant Reply

Washington, July 1.-While admin
istration officials manifested impa-
thence over the delay of Carranza's
reply, private advices from Mexico
City indicated that a defiant answer
is being prepared there. Advices ex-
pressed the belief that a break be-
tween the two governments is una
voidable.
The state department has no direct
information as to when the reply will
be sent Or how it will be transmitted.
1t is believed now that it is possible
that the communication will come
through the Mexican ambassador here
and its actual delivery conditional up
on the situation at that time.
Efforts of mediation in behalf of
Carranza indicate that a reply may be
withheld until the last moment if
there seems chance that Washing
ton VIII listen to these proposals.
Attitude Still Hostile
Assertions that Carranza's attitude
is still hostile, however, seem to be
borne out by the unconciliatory char
acter of the memorandum of the Mex
lean foreign office, published stimuli
taneously in Mexico City with Lam
sings last note. limitations here
though, are that Carranza will be
willing to give strong assurances
that border raids will be prevented
by a heavy Mexican patrol, if the
American troops are removed. 1t was
said last night that $4,000 Carranzs
troops are ready for border duty.
Washington is said to be ready tt
act promptly if Carranza reaffirm'
his orders to General Trevino, author
izing attacks on American troops mo,
ing in any direction except toward thu

GIRL SAVES HER PET DOG
FROM DEATH IN BURNING BARN

Philadelphia, July 1.--Devotion for
a pet dog almost cost the life of Miss
Bernette Meyer, 16 years old, when
flames destroyed the barn on her faith
er's farm in Darby. After leading
twenty-five cows from the burning
barn, the girl remembered that her
pet dog was chained inside the build
ing, and she crawled on her hands
and knees to escape the suffocating
smoke until she reached the animal
and led it to safety. In the heroic
rescue of her pet the girl was badly
burned. She was the heroine of the
fire for she first discovered the flames,
which had gained so much Roadway
she had no time to alarm her parents
if the cows were to be saved.
