MEXIcANS WRECK U. S.
CONSULATE AT TORREON

Eagle Pass, Texas, June 26.-The
United States consulate at Torreon,
Mexico, was demolished June IS by a
mob of 5000 civilians led by the mayor
of the city and Carranza band ac-
cording to American refugees arriving
here late Monday. The populace was
attending bull fight, according TO the
refugees, when the de facto govern
ment troops forced them to join in an
anti American demonstration.
The mob rushed through the streets
shouting Death to all the Gringoes, y
and upon reaching the consulate, tore
I'D the furniture and then destroyed
the building. After destroying the
American consulate the mob congre-
gated in the central plaza of the town
where a mass meeting was held. The
mayor and other prominent MeXicans
it is said, addressed this meeting, in
citing the populace against Americans
advising that all citizens of the United
States be run out of the country
The consulate was closed and its
records removed several days ago.
Among the Americans arriving here
with this story are H. G. Boren, J
/ J. Martin, j. A. Rogers, F. NJ, Howard
L. S. Sprekelmeyer, e, A. Porter and
| his son, Willis Lee; w. H. Sturgeon
and family, Mrs. Mary Love and hel
/ two sons.

The members instead of receiving the CO., operation of the school board have had it's opposition. But they found a true friend in Perry Williams who not only gave an acre of land for the building but offered his hearty support in the cause which was headed by his wife, a particularly active member of the club.

WHERE IS CITY
TO GET MONEY
TO PAY EXPENSE

With only $25, 900 payroll appropri-
alton for the street department next
year, $1,000 less than two years ago,
members Of the board of public works
were wondering today where the city
Is to obtain the funds to meet the in
creased wages Of laborers employed
by the city, an increase just authorized
by council. This increase will mean
the expenditure Of $500 in excess Of
the appropriation for street depart
ment pay in 1917.
The Federation of Women's clubs is
bringing strong pressure to bear at
the present time for the appointment
of a police woman and business in
terests are urging the appointment
of at least three additional traffic Of
flcers.
citys Other Expenses Grow.
The city is now paying for all the
water II uses and for It's street lights.
Also the steady growth Of the city
Is requiring the permanent improve
ment OF many streets, and the city is
confronted with the necessity Of pro-
viding large and very costly sewer
system in the South End to relieve
very serious situation.
Incidentally the municipal tax rate
Is the same now as 1t was ten years
ago, $110 for each 500 Of taxable
valuation and the city's income Is not
much more than it was ten years ago
when municipal expenses were At
least Is per cent less than at the
present time.
Falls to Provide Funds.
Board officials believe the munich
pal laborers are entitled to the in.
crease in wages authorized by coun.
Gil but they complain that council was
at fault in not providing for the in.
creased expenditures 1t has already
authorized or is contemplating. This
sentiment was echoed by Mayor Rob-
bins.
Actually the citys income for next
year is not sufficient to provide the
funds required for necessary improve
ments because the funds which will be
available will, for the most part, be
needed to meet operating expenses.
II am opposed to an increase In the
tax rate but II council Is sincere In
its present efforts to increase the
city's expenses it should have met the
situation squarely at the time the
1917 budget ordinance was framed,
last September, and provided tax
rate increase" President Bavis said

HOWARD IS HAILED
AS GREAT MASTER
BY HIS TEACHERS

Wesley Howard, the young colored
violinist who was sent to Boston Con-
servatory of Music on funds received
from benefit concerts here, will return
In two weeks and give another benefit
concert probably Dec. 81. Members OF
the committee which held the benefit
concert money in trust for the young
mans education said they have receiv-
ed word from violin masters at the
conservatory that Howard Is the clev-
crest student who ever went through
the school and is the greatest negro
yiolinist in the world.
Recently Howard had the misfortune
OF losing everything he possessed but
his violin and the clothes he was wear
ing. The boarding house where he
made his home caught fire during the
day and was destroyed with his be-
longings. His steady playing and his
numerous concerts have broken his
health slightly and he would have been
home already but for concert dates in
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
