Two Nj. and Nj. Entries
Beat 2:07 Before
July l

Never in the history OF the light
harness turf has there been such a
prodigal display Of early speed as
is the case this year. Fast miles
have been reported from southern
tracks in other seasons, but In June
and early July the horses have not
shown what they have this year
They have worked fast on the mile
tracks and raced fast on the two
lap ovals, so that when they come
together at the Blue Ribbon meet
ing, which opens two weeks from
today. the fur will fly.
There is unusual interest n the
NJ. & VI. stake, which features the
Detroit card. Not only is the entry
larger than in ordinary years. but

Washington, April 19-The admin
istration is waiting on further reports
from American officers in Mexico be-
fore deciding whether the expedition
seeking Villa shall be Withdrawn or
reinforced for further operations.
It was thought probable, though no
official would talk about this phase Of
the question, that the German situa-
tion would have some bearing upon
the impending decision.
If break in diplomatic relations
with Germany is forcseen by the adj
ninistration, it is virtually certain the
troops will be recalled from Mexico
Immediately. They would be needed
at home, as military prudence would
require that steps be taken to pre-
pare for eventualities in Europe.
Some officials expressed the belief
that the United States must wait an .
see what transpired beyond the bor.
der before it could determine greatly
to increase the American forces there,
or, on the other hand, determine to
withdraw at once.

NO FISH LICENSES

STATE GAME WARDEN ISSUES a
STATEMENT WHICH SETS
MANY MINDS AT REST.

You don't have TO have license
to catch fish in Mississippi, de.
spite the reports to. the contrary
which have been current through
out the state for SO long.
This official apnouncement came
from Jackson today, and was made
by State Game and Fish Com
missioner z. A. BrantIey.
For several days the youthful
population of Hattiesbure, as we'll
as big percentage of the adult,
has been "uP in the air" over re-
ports that to fish in Forrest, Ii
cense costing $3.50 must first be
obtained from the sheriff's office.
A SIS license, the report said,
would entitIe the bearer to throw
bait attached to hooks and lines,
in any stream in Mississippi.
Sheriff Harbison's office has
been besieged with requests for
information and for licenses. The
sheriff has been as much "up in
the air" as any one else, and he
has been making frantic calls on
the state warden for information.
"As a matter Of fact" MIR.
BrantIey announced today, "abso-
luteIy no license to fish is neces-
sary under the new game law. The
only provisions regarding fishing
are that fish must be taken with
hook and line, exclusively"

Colonel Pleasant carried New Or

total vote of 4O,465, the vote being:
Pleasant, 25,95S, and Parker, 14,507
Returns from about two-thirds of
the country precincts, approximately
go per cent of all in the state, give
Pleasant 32,474, Parker 21,299. The
vote in the parishes, as in the city.
was remarkably heavy, and total OF
$4,000 to 10000 in the country would
not be surprising.
Parker carried all the eight par
ishes in the Third Congressional Dis
trict, on unofficial returns, and will
have majority of something over
5000 in the district.
In the Seventh Congressional Dis
