THE ECONOMY STORE SOLD

deal was consummated the first
of the week whereby the Economy
Store, passed into the ownership of
A. F. German. The Economy has
been owned and managed by w. P.
Wright about two years, who was
compelled to give 1t up on account of
poor health. Mr.. German came here
about two years ago from Plains and
purchased an interest in the South
western Hardware Company, and was
elected manager of the firm. He has
been in the mercantile business all
his life and is recognized as one of
Liberals substantial business men
whose judgment can always be relied
upon.
Mr.. Wright came here from Illinois
about IL years ago and for number
of years was engaged in farming and
ranching in Stevens county. He stiIl
owns considerable farm property out
there and over the line in Oklahoma.
Mr.. Wright is a pleasant man to meet
in business or personal way, and
his word can always be considered
good in any statement he might
make. The patrons of the Economy
will regret to note his giving up the
store, but will be pleased to know 1t
will still be owned by Liberal people.
The store has been closed during
the. past week for invoice but will
open again Saturday morning. Mr..
German has half page ad. in this
issue of the Democrat announcing
the change and stating that the new
shipment of fall goods will be in
shortly. The Democrat learns that
Mr.. and Mrs. Wright will leave soon
for Corpus Christi, Texas, where they
will spend few weeks for the benefit
of Mr.. Wright's health. We hope the
new management meets with due
success in the venture, and can as
sure the patrons of the store that
they will receive the same courteous
treatment as in the past.

RANCH ON THE BORDER

San Diego. June 2S.--A raid by
Mexicans on a ranch In Marion val
ley In the mountains near Tecate.
this county. is reported today by
Neutenant-C Colonel Herbert Fay. who
has just returned from an inspection
trip along the border between Tia
Juana and Jacumba. The raiders
looted the ranch house and drove
stock across the line. Fay says the
information was given by an employe
OF the city water department residing
In nat district.
The name Of the ranchman whose
place has been attacked could not be
learned today, there being no tele-
phone to that point. The home OF +.
Lininger. who has ranch in Mar
ron valley. however, has been robbed
on several occasions by Mexicans,
who made flying expeditions to that
place from O rendezvous below the In
ternational boundary.
Ranchmen In neighboring sections
have made every arrangement for a

GET AMERICANS
OUT Of MEXICO

Washington, June 2S.-The gov
ernment Is redoubling It's efforts to
get Americans out Of Mexico before
possible trouble begins. Under drec-
tion OF the state. war and navy de-
partments strongest persuasion Is be-
ing used on those who insist upon re-
naming in Mexico until the last
minute" Administration officials to-
day criticized the attitude OF these
Americans. Reports indicate most
are on the western coast OF Mexico.
BY remaining contrary to the advice
OF President Wilson, II is declared
they are subjecting themselves to
grave danger.
Orders have been sent by Secretary
Daniels to Admiral Winslow to urge
those hesitatlng not to wait. The
reason for many Americans refusing
to leave is the strong feeling prevail
ing in many Mexican cities that therd
will be no break between the United.
States and Mexico.
Seventy Americans, including 21
detained in Guanajuato, left Mexico
City for Vera Cruz In special car
yesterday, according to message
from Consul Rodgers to the state de-
partment today. About 700 have left
Mexico City and 900 now remain. !,

EASEMENT ON THE
WITNESS STAND

London. June sS.-Taking the wit
ness box In his own defense in his
trial on the charge OF treason. Sir
Roger Easement this afternoon
denied that the Irish revolution was
in any way inspired in Germany.
Easement made a formal statement
to the Jury. He denied that he had
received any money from Germany.
The charge that the Irish revolu-
tion was inspired In Germany Is un-
true" he said. 1T was neither made
nor directed by Germans"
Sir Roger was presented as wit
ness after the presiding justices had
overruled a motion to quash the In
dictment against him on technical
grounds, He spoke earnestly. but
with a slight show OF nervousness.
Easement denied he asked Irish
prisoners in German prison camps TO
fight with the Turks and Germans.
He was not responsible, he said. for
the reduction Of rations and other
punishment inflicted upon Irish SOL
diers who refused to Join the brigades
ne was organizing, declaring such
allegations to be "abominable false
hoods"
His denial that he had ever re-
ceived German money was most
emphatic.
81 wish to refute this slander be-
cause often money was offered me in
liberal sums and refused" said
Casemen. II left Germany poorer
than I entered"
In his opening statement, Attorney
General Smith had denounced Case
ment for accepting knighthood and
pension at the hands Of the govern
Dient and then playing into the hands
OF England's enemies.
Easement replied that It was not
in his power to refuse the offer Of
knighthood and that he accepted the
pension because he had earned It
through faithful service. The attor-
ney general had made vague allu-
sion to his connection with the up
rising in Ireland. he said, but had
produced no evidence to uphold his
statement.

AGREEMENT ON
HAY RESOLUTION

Washington, June 2S.-National
guardsmen drafted into Mexican SER
vice will neither have their families
or dependents financially aided by
the government. nor will the men
themselves be given the privilege OF
exemption, under terms Of an agree
ment On the Hay draft. resolution
reached this afternoon by house and
senate conferees.
II the guardsmen or their families
do receive any aid, 1t will be under
Legislation yet to be introduced and
separately considered. The draft re-
solution itself simply will declare an
emergency exists and draft all
guardsmen into federal service so
they may be used on the Mexican side
Of the border, II necessary.
Members OF both branches Of con-
gress who favor aid to the guards
mems families say they would push
this type OF legislation. But there
will be difficulties in getting 1t re-
ported from the two military COM
mittees and on to the crowded cal
endar Of the two houses.
Friends of the guardsmen admit
ted this afternoons action is severe
blow to their hopes. The conferees
planned to report their action to both
houses at once and 1t was expected
the draft resolution itself would have
been approved before congress ad-
journed for the day.
