| Next in interest was the successful
working of the censorship imposed by
General Funston after it was decided
to catch and punish Francisco Villa
for the Columbus, n NJ, outrage.
Ever since he began planning the
expeditionary movement, General Fun
ston has paid close attention to the at
titude of General Carranza and his fol-
lowers. When General Pershing wired
yesterday that he had crossed the bor-
der and had been joined by the Car
rama force stationed at Palomas, the
major general expressed great salts
faction. This was heightened this
morning when early reports indicated
that the only violence along the entire
border occurred near Kingsville, Tex,
where a small detachment of troops
guarding the Barredo bridge on the ST.
Louis, Brownville and Mexico railway
was fired on in the dark about mid
night
First stories of this affair were that
at least 100 shots were exchanged be-

bandits, retired. 1t was later an
nounced from Fort Brown at Browns

fired, none taking effect. For fear that

teachers meeting in the Seventh
street school recently, John Wood,
former city building inspector, called
attention 10 the fact that the exit in
the room where the meeting was held
opened in instead of out.
When I inspected this building
while I was building inspector and
recommended that the hinges on that
door be changed so as to allow 1t to
open out instead of in, but l see it
has never been changed" Mr.. Wood
said at that time.
Those who heard him and also
heard Mr.. Bennett last evening Won
dered how many other recommended
lions made by city inspectors had
been treated in a like manner. 1t
was called to mind that until DR.. H..
S. Bennett, a member of the school
board, called attention to the fact,
there was one building which had
neither a fire alarm box or telephone
by which an alarm could be turned in
should fire occur. Dr. Bennett it might
be said. is one member Of the board
who has preached fire protection.
Fire Marshal Bennett paid high
/ compliment to the citizens of Moline,
1T takes a progressive community
! to make possible building like this
new high school building" said Mr..
Bennett, for it takes a vote of the
10 70 +I,n fcr II
can truthfully say that in all my
travels over the state and through the
country, l have never seen a finer
school building-and my work takes
me into many school buildings.
Il cannot but wish, however, that
some of the money that was used to
equip this building so elegantly had
been used to put fire escape on the
Lincoln school and to change hinges
on doors in the other schools"
The meeting was we'll attended, in
comparison with the usual fire pre-
vention meetings. City officials were
| present, the hospital board was rep
resented, one member of the school
| board was there, many insurance men,
few members of the Rotary club

by y field men, IA deputy marshals
