FEARS FOR BISBEE
 MET BY SHERIFF
Community's Protection Is Assured; All Precautions
 Have Been Taken.

Urging moderation in all acts by the citizens of Bisbee and the War ren District and offering assurances that the welfare of the community had been adequately assured. Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler, after few words last evening before the mass meeting at the city park. persuaded the as sembled hundreds to leave the pro tection of this immediate section in the hands of the constituted authori- ties.
 The mass meeting had been called by Mayor L C. E. Adams to discuss ways and means to handle any situa- ton which might arise. The Mayor telephoned Sheriff Wheeler to come to Bisbee and appear at the meeting. On account Of the size of the crowd it was adjourned from the city hall to the park.
 Sheriff Wheeler was introduced by the Mayor and immediately asked the crowd to avoid any possibility Of be coming alarmed. He declared that everything that could be- done had been done" and assured the people that the officers of the District and county were keenly on the alert for any possible trouble that might arise.

We yet have the right to believe that President Wilson. who knew how to face the great crisis of the Euro pean war. who has proclaimed and sustained his pacific theories. who has seen through the schemes of flibus- ters and who has opened his arms to the Latin American republics in an appeal for continental solidarity un- der the Monroe Doctrine. will not re trace his steps. will not ear up the foundations of his prestige by un- chaining war. which nothing can justify, and sacrifice a people already weakened and bled by their internal struggles
 Against such a war, are the collec- tive interests of both countries. but if unfortunately We are dragged into such a war. President Wilson may rest assured that never again will the United States have the confidence of a single Latin American nation. And as for Mexico, while one Mexican stands the ground which he covers will be his home, his religion. his hon

MARATHON. Tex, May 9.-The two troops of the Eighth Cavalry now moving toward Boquilas on the Rio Grande. are camped tonight at Miller's Ranch, seventy miles from here, while the two troops of the Fourteenth Cav airy and machine gun troops that left the Marathon base this morning pitched camp 30 miles south at Hen dersons Ranch.
 These troops probably will concent- rate at Boquillas. where Colonel F. W. Sibley. in command, will, after a con ference with Major LanghOrne. de termine their disposition. Captain Casper Cole of the FOurtheenth Cav airy. who has been making observa- tons along the Rio Grapde to de termine the whereabouts of Villista bandits. came in tonight from Bo- quillas and made a report of his scouting work to Col Sibley.
 A long range fight across the Rio Grande between a detachment of American soldiers and bandits. took place near Boquillas yesterday after noon Captain Cole. reporting the fight. said he did not think there was any killed or injured. Captain Fox. of the Texas Rangers. believes that several MeXicans were hit.
 Captain Cole informed Col. Sibley that there were several large bodies of bandits operating along the south ern side of the Rio Grande. There ,,,ora nrohahlv five hundred bandits in all. Captain Cole reported. He said he was convinced that there were many Mexican sympathizers with the

bandits on the American side who were cooperating with them. Captain Cole said:
 '1 went to Gleen Springs Sunday and, with a detachment of men, secuted the Rio Grande carefully be- tween Eoquillas and San Vicente. am convinced that there are no or ganized bodies on the American side of the river.
 There are organized bodies of bandits on the Mexican side operating in several large bodies. At Tajitas there is a Lody of two hundred Mex jeans, while another body of two hun dred or so Villistas is making south for BoQuillas.
 "The bodies of only two dead Mex jeans have been found. but there were undoubtedly other Mexican dead in the Glenn Springs. There is de tachment of one cavalry troop at Glenn Springs and another at Terlin- qua"
 There is every reason to believe that Texas possemen have forded the Rio Grande in search for bandits.
 Col Sibley goes forward tomorrow to BoQuillas, where he will join Col. A. C. McComb and Major Langhorne. He said he did not know where he would make his headquarters.
 We will meet every condition that confronts us," said Col. Sibley. who is an old compaigner in the Sioux country Col. Sibley may engage several scouts who have keen know ledge of northern Coahuila.
 A signal corps company was busy this afternoon erecting a field tele- graph line south to Boquillas.

 Mysterious Troop Moves.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

DOUGLAS. May 9.-General P. Elias Gales. military governor of Sonora. said today that he could see the reason for placing additional troops on the Texas border. but there is none for calling the militia to the Arizona-New Mexico border.
 The Mexican government has plen- ty of troops in Sonora and western Chihuahua to prevent any raiders from crossing the border" said Gen eral Gales.
 If they crossed the border into either state they could not possibly escape; they would be captured. They could rest assured before their cap lure that death awaited them.
 'I uo not believe that the raiders in Texas were Villas men. think that they were hired by the Cientifco party or the interventionists to stir up sentiment in the United States and bring about crisis

With the entire mobile army except five troops of cavalry under General ! Funston's command. in addition to the 1000 or more guardsmen and the . several thousand recruits who are be ! ing forwarded to the regular regi- ments as fast as they are mustered in the United States has a consider able army strung over 1900 miles of the frontier. Calling out the guard for the time and the present military law brings up the fact that as written the act authorizes the President tO use the state soldiers either within or without the United States terri tory.
 The provision authorizing the use of the guardsmen as such beyond the border was held to be unconstitutiOn- al by former Attorney General Wick ersham. IL never has been passed upon by the Supreme Court. howev- CT. aud President Wilson has full le- gal authority to employ the state forces beyond the border if he so de sires Only an injunction against the War Department could prevent it.
 By the terms of the law the guards men must be mustered into the ser vice Of the United States before they come under separate control of the federal government. The full enroll ed strength of each regiment called out is liable for service under penal " of courtmartial.
 Army officers believe there will be no difficulty in getting out the full strength. They anticipate instead. the support of the enlistment in the national guard of the three states. because of the chance for active ser vice
 The regiments now are at peace rfrencth. Under the interpretation placed on the law. the states are re- Quired to recruit them immediately 10 full war strength and to send the recruits forward as fast as they are sworn in.

would not wait for the committees re.

Mr. Adamson said the law was with
in the enacting power of congress and
denied the contention that it is an act
to regulate wages and not an act fixing
hours of employment. Speaking for
himself along he did not believe in gov

any attempt to consolidate the regulat
ing power into.federal hands to the ex.
clusion of state commissions.
Mr.. Adamson declared that the rail
roads should not be charged with dis
loyalty because they combatted acts of
congress and should have their day in
court.

said, can't pass laws that will pass

both parties in this controversy seem

he said, employed "barbarous meth

He criticized the railroads for not
