Wednesday afternoon at lis p. m.
a fire occurred which practically
ruined the fine residence of H. H.
Davis. The origin of the fire is as vet
unknown. 1t started at the northwest
corner on the roof and the high wind
caused it to spread swiftly, the flames
destroying the entire upper story in
short time. The contents of the up-
per story were destroyed, although all
the contents of the lower one were
carried to safety. The fire department
worked against the strong wind which
aided the flames that for time threat
ened to burn the residence complete
ly to the ground. The loss is estimated
at $1,000, which is covered by insur-
ance.

the new secretary went to his new
Office to be sworn in.
One of the probable courses will be
to send American troops over the line
to clean out the bandits. 1t was
pointed out that such action could be
taken with a declaration that there
was no intention to impair the soyer-
eighty of Mexico or purpose of occu-
patton Of territory but simply to deal
with situation menacing to the
American border over which the Car
rama government evidently had no
control.
Precedents for sending troops into
Mexico to pursue the bandits are found
in the state department archives when
Mexican Indians caused trouble in
Texas in 1871 and 1877.
In June, 1882, the United States and
Mexico made a reciprocal agreemen,
for the crossing Of troops Of both ma
tions on either side of the line for the
pursuit of Indians in the populated
desert country, and that agreement
was extended.
Cooperation Not Probable.
Possibility of reciprocal agreemen,
with the CarranZa government for the
common crossing Of the line is said
to be remote because federal officials
realize sentiment along the border
would not permit Mexican troops in
American territory.
Major General Funston is in su-
preme command of the situation on the
border. War department officials ex-
pect he is in personal charge at CO.

Senator Stone, chairman of the for

if General Funston would have to get
busy at once"
Wilson Orders Action.
Secretary Baker transmitted to
President Wilson reports about the
attack at Columbus, n. NJ. as quickly
as they were received at the war de-
partment 1t was said at the White
house that vigorous steps would be
taken to punish the bandits.
The president instructed Secretary
Baker to do everything possible to
protect Americans.
