GALES TROOPS ARE
 ACTIVE NEAR BORDER
Several Thousand Said to Be Nearing Mountain Passes on Chihuahua State Line.
feY Review Leased Wlre.l ,

DOUGLAS. April 7.-American arriv als her. from Sonora said today that the movement of de facto Mexican troops eastwards from the base at Fronteras. 29 miles south, is continu- ing. They personally saw columns east of the border and near the Chi huahUa boundary.
 Soma of the officers with these troops told the Americans that they were going to guard the mountain passes. Others said they intended to go back to the YaGGi River valley.
 Several private soldiers told the Am ericans that their officers had inform cd them they were to enter western Chihuahua and wait there for further orders. The soldiers were ayerse to making the march, jhe men said, and were complaining of the hardships they would have to undergo in reach ing the Sierra Madre mountains.
 Should the defscto troops enter Chi huahua and go into camp as the pri- yafe soldiers claimen was intended, they would be near the line Of commit nication established by the American punitive expedition now in Mexico.

Edward Addicks, faniliarlv known ss Gas" A5iicks, undertook to tuck tho state oI Dela- ware in his vest pocket and make hiI self United States Senator. 1t took Thomas Coleman DuPont. first as a member and then as chairman of the ReDublicsn State Committee. to purge the state of AddickSism and effect the political regeneration of Delaware. Later, as q member of the Republican National Committee, General DuPont stood with the Roosevelt forces in the memorable fight of 1912 at Chicago. He was one of the fifteen members of the Committee who voted for the seating of Roosevelt delegates. He did not follow Colonel Roosevelt into the Progressive party-his loyalty to and faith in the Republican party was too strong for that.

 One of his greatest interests IS road huiliing. He has proposed to give the people of Delaware boule- vaTG 200 feet wide and 100 miles long, running from one end of the state to the other. and in the work on this road he has lived with the build CTS and run a road roller with his own hands.
 General DuPont was formerly at the head of the great powder making concern that bears the family name, but he severed his connection with 1t at the outbreak of the European war. He said he did not want to be identi- fed with the manufacture of powder for use in foreign wars. Sentiment, however, has led him to make a sum- mer home of the old stone mill on the Brandywine where his forefathers ground the powder that was sent out through the wilderness of the Middle West a century ago to enable Com mcdore Perry to win the hattie of Lake Erie.

STOCK RAISERS IN DEMAND FOR FEDERAL
 PROBE OF PACKERS
One Ex-Governor and An Ex- Judge Appear Before House Subcommittee, Asking For Investigation.
(sy Review Leased Wire )

WASHINGTON, April IA former Kansas Governor, w. R., Stubbs, and a former Missouri judge. w Ii Wal lace. who said they had learned by raising cattle that meat packers. by price fixing combinations were crush ing live stock growers. pleaded with a House judiciary subcommittee to- day for sweeping reforms in the pack ing industry. They appeared as coun- sel for western growers and feeders.
 Speaking or the Bordlan ] resolution now before the committee, which V culdorder a federal trade commis- sion inquiry to determine whether the packers are violating tta antitrpst laws, they endorsed the prupcsais and suggested making laws, prohibiting the restraint of trade in general, more stringent |.
 aIr Wallace. who prcsa eUted the James train robbers heatedly deDoGnc- ed the alleged packing commission.
 "Weare now after 2 worse crowd than the James boys" he declared. These fellows steal more money in Q week than the James boys did in their whole careers.
 By afiidavits and testimony as to his personal experiences, the judge sought to prove that combinations had existed among packers in the Kansas City yards within the last few years. He submitted an affidavit from Leo Burns, a former stCckyard empioye, declaring that Kansas City and Chi cago packing houses were in constant communication regarding proposed purchases from spectators. An &fh dayit signed by Earl Cooper declared that before the packers came into Kansas City yards he used to visit the yards at night and supply them with information as to the nlmher of livestock on hand prior to the opening Of market.
 On one occasion, the judge asserte5, he received only one bid on a bUncn of cattle at the Kansas City yards ana learned later that they were di- vided between two packing concerns.
 Arthur Meeker, vice president of Armour & Co.,, prOmply questioned the accuracy of the judges statement re- garding one buyer for two houses. Walter L. Fischer, attorney interjec- ted the declaration that he would be able to prove that there was no com bination. Once during the day Mir. Meeker declared that he was willing to have an inquisitoTial body with snD- poena powers conduct the eIsuina- ton, but later he Insisted on his origi- nal proposed invee.i igaion to the de partment of agriculture.
 The hearing will continue tomorrow when repres sentatives of the packers are expected to present their side Cc the case.

WEEVILS DOING DAMAGE
IN RANDOLPH AND CLAY
Land That Produced Is Bales to the
PIow Will Not Yield Three.

Mr.. C. H. Brown, of near Sasser,
returned home Saturday from a pros
pecting trip to the section on the
Clay and Randolph county line,
where he went with the intention of
locating. He says the weevils are
playing havoc with the cotton crop in
that section, and he saw cotton on
lands that had previously produced
Is or 20 bales to the pillow that would
not make more than three bales this
year, He saw cotton waist high that
did not have more than three OF four
bolls to the stalk. He says if there
are any farmers or others in Terrell
county who are skeptical about the
damage of the weevils trip to this
section will convince them that the
pest is just as bad if not worse than
has been pictured.

TOBACCO GROWING
IN TERRELL COUNTY
NINE FARMERS MAKE SUCCESS
Full EXPERIMENT UNDER d.
RECTION OF EXPERT.

Nine Terrell county farmers, real
ling that with the approach of the
boil weevil their attention must be
turned toward other crops to employ
their lands, and with this idea in view
they engaged the services of F. w.
Ziegler, an expert tobacco grower, to
direct the cultivation and curing of
the weed.
1t was their intention of planting
ninety acres in tobacco, but on ac-
count of unfavorable weather condi-
tions only SO acres were planted, and
the crop has been gathered and cur
ed and the results has been so salts
factory to the pioneer tobacco grow
ers that all of them are determined
to continue growing the weed and to
encourage as many of their neigh
bors to do so as possible. The thirty
six acres planted in tobacco gave an
average of 600 to 800 pounds, the
market price of which is from 20 to
80 cents a pound.
Mr.. Ziegler informed a News man
that he had grown tobacco in Vir-
GINA, North Carolina and Florida,
and that he found the lands of Ter
rell county will produce more tobacco
per acre than either of the states
mentioned, and that on account of
the cheaper labor and better weather
conditions it could be produced a
great deal cheaper than in either of
those states. He said that while the
tobacco produced in the county this
year was suited only for the manu-
facture of chewing and smoking to-
bacco and the cheaper grades of Gig
ars he was satisfied that the finer
quality of smoking tobacco can be
produced here He said that the av-
erage cost this year of producing the
tobacco was about $40 per acre, but
that it can be produced here much
cheaper.
Mr.. D. B. Hill, who has been a
leading figure in the tobacco growing
movement, says that tobacco can be
produced as cheap or perhaps cheap
err than cotton, with the exception of
the initial cost of barn in which to
cure it, and several farmers can con-
struct barn on the cooperative
plan and cure their tobacco together.
The nine farmers who inaugurated
the tobacco growing movement are
Messrs. D. B. Hill, j. L. Glass, S. j.
Hargrove, Lewis Kennedy, J. B.
Caldwell, o. H. Sem, Erastus Horn,
E. C. Gammage and E. H. Stapleton,

It is possible that Dawson people
will have to pay an advanced rate on
marcel post packages. A parcel post
package weighing 80 pounds placed

STRANGE SOURCE
OF ILLUMINATION
Austrian Scientist Demonstrates 1t
Is Possible to Read Newspaper by
Light of Raw Beef.

There is electric light, gas light,
candle light and there are other well
known methods of illumination, but
the strangest of all lights is that dis
covered by Prof. Molisch, a well
known Austrian scientist.
He has recently demonstrated that
it is possible to read a newspaper by
the light of a raw beef or pork sau-
sage. All unminced meat contains a
microbe which gives off light, and
with the sausages, when the microbe
is present, the light is much stronger
than that given off by whole joints.
These particular microbes do not in
dictate decay. Indeed, in no case have
they been found in meat which was
unfit for human consumption. So
you can read by your sausage first
and then eat it, according to Prof.
Molisch.
The stumps of trees often give off
entists say is due to microscopic ami
mails which die as soon as the wood
is sapless. The phosphorescent light
on the ocean comes from minute ami
mails which live on the seaweed.
1t is said that the Cuban FREELY
provides a satisfactory light. The
secret of the light which this beetle
gives is undiscovered. Its great pc
culiarity is that it appears and dis
appears spasmodically, so that the
Cubans need to keep about a dozen
insects in a bottle at once in order
to be sure of getting a light bright
enough to read by.
