THREATENS ATTACK

Chihuahua City, Mexico, June 26.-Im- mediately after the evacuation. of San Geronimo and Bachibana by American troops, General Trevino occupied them and issued strict orders that any at tempts of General Pershng's troops to return south must be forcibly prevented.
 British Vice Consul O'Hea has facili- tated the removal of Americans at Tor reon and Durango, providing them with a special boxcar with instructions that it's progress be expedited.
 Five of the six additional negroes made prisoners at Carrizal and brought here are named John Wilson, George M. Chaplin, T. Hopkins Thomas Garfield and w. D.. Gibson. The prisoners said two white packers, known to them as Texas and Slim" were with Captain Boyd's force and believe they escaped
 Gibson, speaking for his comrades, said they were captured at Los Humos, many miles from the scene of the fight by pursuing cavalry. He said the six of them were trying to beat it for Fl Paso."
 General Trevino announced that Gibson told him that the members of the ex- petition were lined up by Captain Boyd. two miles out of Carrizal and told that they might get through peacefully, or they might be up against it. but that in any event there was only one thing to do and that was to obey orders.'
 GIBSON'S STORY
 Gibson's story as given out by General Trevino. follows:
 Captain Mercy joined us at Santo Domingo. That night four Mexicans came into camp and told us that the Carranza troops at Carrizal had four machine guns. It was said that these Mexicans had warned Captain Boyd he had better turn back, but I don't know if there was any truth in this talk.
 Two miles out of Carrazal. we were lined by Captain Boyd and told we might have to fight or we might get through peacefully, but there was only one way

NO OTHER SURVIVORS

Washington. June 26-In reporting| today the rescue of Capt. Lewis MoreyI and four troopers, Major Jenkins of the Eleventh cavalry heading the relief column. announced that the country| near Carrizal had been thoroughly covered and no further survivors of the fight there found.
 Major Jenkins fixed the total num- Der of men from the two troops at :. tackled at Carrizal and who returned to the American line as one officer and 43 enlisted men. One other man is resorted to be travelling north of Sa bina
 The report came to the war depart ment in dispatch from General Per- shing transmitted by General Funston. It said:
 Message from Major Jenkins dated this morning (June 26l from the San Luis ranch reports Captain Mercy and four troopers have arrived there. Jen- kins secured the country in the vicin ity of the Santo Domingo ranch with four troops of cavalry in line deployed as skirmishers with wide intervals and Is positive none of our men left in that vicinity"

small. As such group they worked an
 "6. Facing these essential facts which transcend partisan or personal considera- tions, the national committee sets forth the following as its earnest and solemn conviction:
 Ut accepts the resignation of Colonel Roosevelt as the candidate of the party for President of the United States and concurs in the reasons for his action given in his letter of resignation. It recognizes his past service to the country as leader of this party, service that cannot adequately be expressed in words, and it recognizes also the sacrifice which the present crisis has demanded of him and which he has met in listening rather to the urgent need of the nation than to any partisan or personal ambition.
 "The national committee supports Charles Evans Hughes of New York for President.
 '"The committee desires to make it en- tirely clear that in it's action herein IL asks nothing for the progressive party, as a party, or for members thereof It imposes no condition or consideration for the support of the party, save only the condition that MT Hughes shall earnestly work toward the accom- plishment of the great purposes of h.. -ional security and national honor and justice which are set forth by Colonel Roosevelt in his letter as the motive for the action.
 ''The committee earnestly desires' that the power of the progressive movement, which has largely without political vlc- tory accomplished so great change Tn the aspect of American affairs, be con tinued and preserved intact for further service To this end, the committee, therefore, recommends that the organlza- tion of the progressive party be preserv- ed so far as possible and so far as IS best consistent with that purpose Of na- tional service; that the state committees continue in operation and take such ac- tion as is best fitted to give unity and expressions to the progressive movement in their respective localities. The na- tional committee will maintain its or ganization for the same purpose through out the country to the end that we may preserve the unified working power Of that great body of men and women Of high national purpose, whose mtellects and ideals were never more needed by the country, and whose power to make good these ideals will be greatly in creased by maintaining their common action both for the present and for the future.'

HUGHES INDORSED
 BY PROGRESSIVES

sented the name of Victor Murdock of mittee. now on his way to China This led to a clash between Raymond Robins of Illinois and MT. Colby in which the lie was passed. MT. Robins said MT. Murdock had told him he would not ac- cept the presidential nomination. The proposition to run third party ticket then was defeated, 31 to 15.
 MT. Garfield next introduced a resolu- ton indorsing Hughes for President and progressive party to cooperate with the republicans in the campaign.
 MT. Cochems of Wisconsin contended the committee had no authority to indorse any candidate and that it's power was limited to the filling of the vacancy on the ticket caused by the refusal of Colonel Roosevelt to run.
 Chairman Hale ruled that the motion to indorse or recommend the republican candidate for President was out of order and a debate of several hours ensued.
 GARFIELD IS SUSTAINED
 Finally MT. Garfield appealed from the decision of the chair and was sustained B to A. During the discussion Raymond Robins indicated he would support Presi- dent Wilson if the progressives did not put a ticket in the field.
 MT. Parker made a fiery protest against any indorsement. Many of the progress sives were former democrats, he said and had burned all their political bridges when they joined the new organization

 to carry out orders and that was to obey them. This was the first time we had ever started anywhere without knowing where we were going.
 When the fighting started we were in an open plain and the Mexicans had the advantage of ditches and brush.
 Returning from his conference with Mexican leader Captain Boyd gave his horse to his striker and ordered us to advance in skirmish order and to hold our fire until we were fired upon.
 "Eifteen of our men dropped on the first volley. We fought hard until we were about surrounded. Then we dropped our guns and ran. We thought we would try and get to Fl Paso. We were over taken at Los Humos.
 "We were brought back to Villa Ahumada but were well treated

TWenty-Eight Are Given
 Their Dental Licenses

Dr. c. H. Lokey of Birmingham. In the absence of Dr. Lokey, who was unable to attend the examination, pr. J. A. Blue of Birmingham took his place.
 Under the terms of acts passed by the last legislature, important powers were conferred on the members of this board in the matter of regulating the practice of dentistry in Alabama. In line with these powers, the members of the board had warrants served on two local dentists for violating the terms of the act The advertising of painless dentistry and the practice of dentistry under firm name or the name of some one other than the persons doing the work are among the offenses which are in violation of this statute. Failure to display licenses from the state board of examiners is an- other

 Another rule which was promulgated by the board today requires that here- after all men stading the examination to become dentists in this state must have received credit for at least 14 standard units. This course does not apply to men who have already entered upon the study of dentistry but will be rigidly enforced in the future A warning has been issued to dentists regarding the pen alties for practicing under a firm name or the name of one other than the man who performs the work, for advertising painless work, and for failure to properly display their license to practice in this state''

POTATO NOTES

Fort Fairfield Review-If ever thing
was in demand. potatoes are in demand
in Aroostook this fall. The price shows
1t plainly enough. The railroad strike
having cleared up and off all right, buy
ing began in earnest again Saturday and
continued on Monday. On Monday $3.50
q barrel was common price, while the
figures on one load ran up to s2.74. How
is that for September 4? It's equal was
never before known. The price on
Tuesday was $3.50 to s245 in the fore
noon, mostly on account of the shortage
of cars. The car shortage is not felt
very badly at the competing points but
Is pretty severe at the small sidings.
Aroostooks stock was never finer,
cleaner. brighter or more satisfactory
than now. There Is no rot whatever,
very little scab. and the quality in gem
eral is just right for table use. Many
extra good yields are reported. while
of course medium ones are more nearly
the rule. Many fields, however, show
pretty light, owing to shortage of fer
tilizer, poor cultivation or something of
the kind. At the going prices of course
a big. part Of the crop Will be sold from
the fields, but no one need fear that a
lot Of 1t will not be stored. There will
be potatoes enough in Aroostook to go
all the winter and spring, no matter
what the price is. that Is, they will not
all be sold until late in the spring, as
usual.
Houlton-Farmers have begun to dig,
but owing to the congested condition of
dc 70 ho-
ing shipped tnow. The price remains
about sl.75 to So per barrel.
Fort Fairfield Review-Every day of
the present cool weather is worth
thousands and thousands of dollars 10
Aroostook county Most Of the grain Is
taken care of, but little of the latest
gets the benefit of this weather. Most
Of the potato fields are still green. in
some Of them hardly a black or dead
leaf being found. OF course potatoes
are still doing business in such fields,
and we hope the frosts will not be early
enough and hard enough to injure them
much.
Fort Fairfield Review-Potato diggers
and pickers are receiving from $3.50 to
$3.50 a day, or in general six cents a
barrel with board. On these latter
terms the men are said to make from
$500 to $500 day. but Of course the
yield has to be excellent and the man
