Imperial Valley press., 1916-06-16

St. Louis, June 16.-Wilson and
Marshall will again lead the Demo-
cratic hosts. They were nominated
by acclamation by the great convex
tion last evening.
1t had been a foregone conclusion
that Wilson would have no opponent,
but until the last moment it had been
possible that Marshall might have a
substitute on the ticket. This was
not to be, and his nomination came
unanimously.
The Democratic platform builders
are working today to make the DEM
ccratic party a very attractive organ
ization for members of the Progress
sive party-but there'll be no kidnap-
ing of that 4-year-old child.
The idea of Secretary Baker,
brought from Washington, that the
platform should of itself constitute an
invitation to all Progressives, is pre-
vailing. Indications as the sub-com-
mittee of the resolutions committee
gathered were that the platform would
not contain even Senator Kern's sug-
gested specific invitation directed to
Imperial Valley press., 1916-06-16

He said, however, that thus far no
detectives were on the case, although
there were all sorts of rumors last
night to the effect that two have been
here several days. Whether this is
correct or not there is no way of
learning.
Meantime the victim is getting along
as well as could be expected under the
circumstances.
His signed statement has the right
ring and does him credit; it is posi-
tive and as strong as it could be
made, and the public must accept it
as the truth, which we believe it is.
And believing this, it is the duty of
the people to stand together in an eff
fort to run down the perpetrators of
the crime. It is crime more against
the public than against Tom Potts and
it is a public duty to clear this city
of the stain and to guarantee the
safety of others by Furnishing the gull
ty ones.

But the kidnapping plan has fallen
through. Tom Taggart was right
He told other members of the national
committee who favored the plan ear
lier in the week that there was
"nothing in it," and went ahead gath
ering tickets for his Hoosier friends.
The necessity to look after their own
constituents as fast as they arrived
diverted the attention also of other
national committee members.
In any eventfi the project to send
for several Progressive leaders, which
had got to the stage where the tele-
graphic invitation was being drafted,
has been abandoned.
William J. Bryan, "the only big
man in the convention" according to
Henry J. Allen, Progressive leader
from Kansas, who is here, has found
time to give the Progressives men,

in the convention. Informally the Com

Hold Wide front.

London, June 16.-A dispatch to
Reuters Telegram Company from Pet
rograd, dealing with the Russian ad-
vance in East Galcia, says:
"The Russians hold the Dniester be-
tween the frontier and considerably
westward of the confluence of the
Stripa and the Dniester. After the
capture of Zale Szczyky and Heroden-
ka, their next objective is Kolomea,
three marches distant. Unless there
is some unlikely change in the stra-
tegic position, only prompt retreat
will save the cutting off of the Aus
trian right wing.
"There were small Russian losses in
the forcing of the Dniester, owing to
the brilliantly skillful tactics. This
contrasts strongly with the German
losses in. crossing the Narew and
Bzura rivers. 1t S stated that on on
sectors on the southern front has the
enemy yet received appreciable REIN
forcements."

Orate Them to Fold.

Sacramento, June 16.-An effort to
get the Progressives back into the
Republican fold in California looms
up today as the newt move on Cali
fornia's political calendar. In Sacra-
mento and a number of other coun-
ties, the Republicans are arranging
mass meetings at which spellbinders
will attempt to "orate" the Bull Moos-
ers back into the corral.
One report is that statewide Re-
publican conference is to be called by
State Chairman F. v. Keesling at
which Progressive leaders would be
invited in. At this conference some
action would be taken toward lining
up candidate for the United States
senate and candidates for the House
Of Representatives. The Republicans
feel confident that they have a suffi-
cient force to win.
Republican confer ences are sched-
uled for Santa Rosa, Sacramento,
Fresno and San Diego the latter part
of June and the first part Of July
to line up congressional candidates
for the First, Second, Seventh and
Eleventh districts. Edward H. Hart
has been mentioned as possibility
in the First district, and Attorney

Reply to CarranZa.

Washington, June 16.-President
Wilson and Secretary of State Lam
sing today went over the final draft
of this governments reply to the Car
rama demands for withdraway of
American troops from Mexico.
The note was practically completed
Monday, but owing to the administra-
tons desire to make this country's
attitude plain to the Carranza gov
ernment and to he public of both
countries, the president, it was
learned, wanted again to discuss it
with his secretary of state.
hTe secretary said the note may
not be sent before next week. 1t was
learned later that this note will be
the firmest this government has yet
sent to Carranza. :,
Evidence in the hands of admin.
stration officials tending to- show
gradual disintegration of the de fac
to government in Mexico continued to
pile up today.
This evidence was contained in con-
sular reports to the state department
and private advices to members of the
army general staff from officers and
civilians in Mexico.
All these messages, carrying re-
ports Of shaky economic conditions,
led officials to believe that the next
few weeks may see developments
which shall spell either complete
erumbling of the Carranza govern
ment or decided change for the bet
ter.
Officials today believed the first
chiefs government now is passing
through it's most difficult period

moner has been urging that all pos
sible be done to win over the Bull
Moose men who seem likely to go
leaderless through the campaign.
The platform committee believes it
has abundant Progressive material.
Senator Pomerene, one Of the nine
members, today expressed the belief
that planks on workmen's compensa-
tion, old age pensions for government
employees, the American Federation of
Labor's labor planks-particularly the
that labor is not "com-
modify" to be dealt in like property
d child labor plank and others would
go a long way toward convincing Pro-
gressives that their hope lies in the
Democratic party. "
Senator Walsh, another member,
was Of the same opinion.
Representative Rainey, Illinois
member, took the view that revenue
measures proposed would be even
more attractive to Progressives. He
placed stress on extension Of the in
come tax, an inheritance tax and a
munitions tax.

New York, June 16-It is claimed
that the Austrians and Germans taken
prisoners on the east front in the
last ten days now exceed 10000 and
it is believed the total losses of the
Teutons in killed, wounded and pris-
oners is double that number, while
there is no indication that the mas
terly drive of the Russians is being
stayed for an hour, nor is there any
indication that the Teutons are 60
ing to be able TO mass troops i'll
front of the Slavs in sufficient num-
Der to stop the drive before the
losses will be fatal to the Teuton
cause.
There is growing danger that Won
Hindenburg's army, holding the north
ern portion of the east front, will be
outflanked by the Russians and, as
affairs are now going, he may very
soon be compelled to join the Aus
trians in their precipitate flight.
The losses of Austrian war stores
to the Russians have in themselves
been a severe blow to the Teutonic
cpuse, this being the heaviest loss of
it's kind suffered by any nation since
the war began.
1t was by the most clever ruse that
the Russians gained their first i'm
petus in the drive. 1t has throughout
the war been common practice for
the offensive party to inflict heavy

American Guns Ala.

Geneva, Switzerland, June 16, via
ris.-Information received from the
Austro-Swiss frontier indicates that
the successes obtained by the Rus
slams in their offensive have been
due largely to American supplies Of
ammunition and guns, large quanti-
ties of which have been imported by
Russia in the last four months. Jap
anese transports are aiding greatly in
bringing in these supplies.
The Military Journal, published in
Austria, confirms these reports. 1t
states that without the assistance of
supplies from America it would be i'm
possible for Russia, which has COM
parativcly few ammunition factories,
to undertake such strong offensive
over a long front.

Laredo, Tex, June 16.-One hundred
Mexican bandits, crossing over the
Rio Grande forty miles southeast Of
here, yesterday attacked the American
border patrol near San Ignacio, killing
three and wounding four, according to
reports sent to Fort Mcintosh here
over the field telephone.
The Mexicans expected to find an
insignificant detachment of Americans.
Instead, they were met by troops of
the Fourteenth cavalry, 140 strong,
under Major Gray. They were hurled
back across the river, losing six dead
and several wounded.
The bandits first attacked Troop M.
Troop 1, short distance up the river,
heard the shooting and hurried to the
scene. The attackers lost heart and
retreated southwark along the river,
keeping on the American side for some
distance before crossing back to Mex
ican soil.
The attack began at 2 a. m. and
the fighting lasted about thirty min
utes. A bright moon lighted the
scene. The Mexicans attacked the
rear of the patrols camp, firing the
first shot at a sentry.
. The names of the soldiers killed
were not reported to military head
quarters at Fort Mcintosh for the
reason that Immediately after the at
tack the two troops of cavalry start
ed in pursuit of the Mexicans.
1t was taken for granted here that
Major Gray would pursue the bandits

HIGH TEMPERATURE
BUT WITH BREEZE

The valley is experiencing one Of
the worst periods of heat known here
for several years. Mercury yesterday
reached 112 and was followed by a
bad night, in which rather humid air
lay dead over all.
Today opened with the temperature
still high, but there was breeze
blowing that greatly relieved the situ-
alton.
In spite of the prevalence Of a good
breeze throughout the day, the tenn
perature reached the 112 record Of
yesterday.
There are indications that a. .stron-
ger breeze may prevail tonight and
it is hoped this may bring relief in
temperature tomorrow.

artillery bombardment and follow this
with infantry charge. The attacked
party would of course, following the
bombardment, bring up all possible
troops to meet the infantry. The
Russians led operations with heavy
artillery work as usual, then stopped
suddenly as though preparatory to the
infantry charge, ard the Austrians
brought forth a great array of infan-
try and cavalry to meet the Russian
charge. But instead of charging,
when the Austrians had been given
time to bring up all their forces, ar
tillery firing was resumed, and the
Austrian losses are described as awful.
After this terrible slaughter, the Rus
SLAMS charged and swept everything
before them.
In the Ypres district the British are
giving a good accounting and have
recovered important positions previ-
ously lost, giving indication that the
general offensive of the Allies is be-
ing taken up along the west front

NO NEW FEATURES
TO THE ACID CASE

In spite Of the rawlings of the "Sob
Sister," the sheriff's office is gradu-
oily gathering up threads of clue
in the case of the acid throwing case
at Holtville, and there is possibility
that the culprit will be run to the
earth. But there have been no new
evidences brought to light and no ar
rests have been made.
The Holtville Tribune says: The fol-
lowing straightforward, earnest and
unequivocal statement has been made
by Thomas C. Potts, the victim of the
refarious acid thl overs, who is still
confined to his room suffering from
the effects of the awful baptism Of
the fiery drug. Mr.. Potts says:
"In regard to the misfortune
which has overtaken me, I wish to
make a statement, in view of the fact
that a great many people seem to
think that / am not telling all know
about it for fear Of making an ex-
rosure which would involve myself,
or someone whom l might be inter-
'ested in shielding in serious trouble
or disgrace.
81 say in all earnestness from the
depths of my soul that I have not
knowingly wronged anyone and when
l say that I do not know who the
guilty parties are or the motive be-
hind it, I speak the truth, so help EN-
God. g.
"Since this unseen demon has been
striking at me like a hand from the
dark I have Thought Of every conceiv-
able cause which might lead anyone
with distorted mind to harbor fan
cied grievance against me and l have
pondered on it in agony of soul, but
it has availed me nothing. Of course
there are theories, some Of which seem
plausible, and l hold to the hope in
this dark hour that justice may e swift
and sure in searching out the guilty.
ct. C. POTTS."
In addition to this, he and his two
brothers offer a reward of 81 900 for
the arrest and conviction of the guilty
party or parties.
"We stand ready to do anything,
to meet anybody and to adjust any
claim," said James Potts today. 81
have gone into this matter as far as
any one can, and l believe my brother
when he assures me that he has no
knowledge of the perpetrators of the
outrage"
Sheriff Applestill is here with Dep
uty Cummings again today and is
earnestly at work on the case. He is
going to run down every possible clue
and sift out every rumor and follow
out every line of evidence that pre-
sents itself and to make the investi-
cation as thorough as possible.
Naturally the sheriff would not dis
close whether or not he had any clues.

Another Mexican Raid
Across International Line

Americans should follow the hot trail
across the river.
1t was impossible to learn anything
of the identity of the Mexicans here,
other than that they were "mere.y
bandits" Those killed and wounded
were dressed in peon garb, but were
exceptionally well armed.
Other troops of cavalry have been
ordered in readiness to proceed to the
San Ignacio section, either to assist, or
to relieve, Major Gray's command.
Washington, June 16.--Any hope
that the trouble with Mexico might be
settled amicably at an early date was
dispersed by the report of another
raid by banditti across the line into
the United States yesterday.
Three American soldiers are dead
and six are wounded as result. No
civilians were injured, as a result.
No civilians were injured, as the
raid was an attack on the border pa
troll at San Ignacio, 40 miles south
east Of Paredo. Although successful
in a measure, the raid was not wholly
surprising to the American guard,
which was in larger numbers than
the Mexicans expected to find. Major
Alonzo Gray commanded the guard.
The Mexican toll was last reported
as eight known dead, number
wounded and several captured. In ad-
dition AZ horses, Mexican mounts, were
captured. One Mexican VINO surren-
dered said that he was forced into
the raid and that his sentiments were
not anti-American.
The Mexicans expected to find only
small detachment of American
troops at that point, according to the
prisoners. They had planned to over
power the border guard. They had
passed Troop M, cncamped near the
town, firing the first shot at the SEN
try. Following the firing Troop
rushed to the former troops aid and
after the firing lasted half an hour
the MeXicans retreated to the south
along the American side of the Rio
Grande with Americans in pursuit.
