FOURTH OF JULY
CELEBRATION is
WELL SUPPORTED

While many of the carnival COM
mittees have been very active m
planning for the picnic for the fourth
of July, it is said that none has re-
ceived more support than the solicit
ing committee, which it is claimed
has never been turned down by any
of the merchants yet approached.
1t reports that there is more in
terest taken in the event this year
than at any previous time, and the
merchants are beginning to realize
the value of cooperation. Many have
already stated that they would close
for the day, and much enthusiasm
in the decorating of the streets. The
picnic committee has been submitted
a proposition for decorating the
streets at a small cost to each mer-
chant assessed. The city is expected
to assist in the work and the total
cost will probably be very small.

nounced yesterday that the electric
company would probably maintain
the same schedule as last year.
In the Baby Show the chief test
will be amiability and beauty. The
prettiest child and best hammered
will receive the prize. This scheme
is expected to create much interest
in the event and many babies have
already been entered.
Final arrangements are being made
for the fireworks and the display will
be the feature of the evening pro-
gram. Arrangements have been
made with the flying school for flights
of aeroplanes during the day for the
interest of the many out of town Wis
itors who are expected.
Chairman. Hancock of the commit
tee stated Tuesday that many IN
quiries have been sent from points
near Pensacola and indications point
ed to a large number of visitors.

DYNAMITE PLOT

New York, June 27.-How Horst
Won Der Goltz, self-confessed conspir-
ator, forced him to go to Buffalo with
dynamite in connection with the al
legged conspiracy to destroy the Well
and canal in 1914, was told here to-
day by Charles Tucker at the trial
of Hans Tauscher, former German
army officer, charged with compli-
city in the alleged conspiracy. Tuck
er, who was employed by Goltz as
secretary, said Goltz told him if he
did not go to Buffalo he would be
shot.
Witnesses testified to the purchase
of dynamite, Henry Muck, bookkeeper
for Tauscher, saying that Tauscher
paid the DUPONT Powder Company
for the dynamite and sent a bill for
the amount to Franz Won Paren, Ger
man military attaehe, who paid the
charge in December, 1914.

MAY NOT USE NATIONAL
CTIARD Outside THE IT.

Washington, June 27.-The senate
and house conferees on the Hay reso-
luton to draft militiamen into the
federal service, failed to agree today
on the question of including million
dollar appropriation for the depend
ents of guardsmen. A disagreement
was reported on that section.
The failure of the conference leaves
the president without authority to
use the national guard outside Uni

ly be done with the resolution, in view
of the determined stand by the con-
ferees on both sides regarding the re-

A'hree Notes Found.
Three notes, stated above, said to
have been written by the oldest Of the
girls, who was eleven, We're found
and We're shown a Journal represen-
tative by the father, who had them
in a book. Two Of the notes were
written on tablet paper, which was
ruled. The third note was written OH
the fly leaf Of a book, the notes were
addressed to the father, to Aunt 81,
who is Mrs F. Harrington, and the
third note generally to the public,
which tended to absolve the father
from all blame.
4 No One Heard Shot
No one heard the shots which killed
the little girls. One neighbor, Who
said she lived little less than che
block away, said she had heard no re-
port. This, however WAS nos ztraHre,
for the weanaa used was N .22-calihea
rife. and had tie shots been fired
with the house closed, tha reportsl
would probably not have been heard
very far distant.
The last person who saw the little
+ girls alive. according to his own state
ment, was the father. He said that
4 the boy, Bascom, and he had left the
/ house early TUESDAY, morning. "going
to look for work" He said that
4 breakfast had been prepared and
served by the oldest child, and after
1 she had thus finished serving break
/ fast she had followed the father and
brother to the door. He said the last
4 he saw of her was when, reaching
the front door. she had dropped to
a lounge, or cot, which stood near
! the front door.
"That is the last time ] saw my
| daughter alive" said Mr. Fudge, in
a quivering voice The breakfast
dishes were found as they had been
left that morning. The house, usual
~ in a tidy condition, had not been
cleaned up. The floor, it was said,
had not been swept, and beds had
not been made up. Everything had
! the appearance Of neglect. In fact,
the children had not been dressed, it
appeared.
Just when the children were killed
was not explained. It was stated by
some of those who were early on the
scene that the body Of the little child
was warm when found by the father.
1t was also reported that the little
body had not stiffened when several
witnesses first gazed upon the pitiable
sight. This appeared to contradict
the theory that the child had been
killed earlier in the morning.
Was 1t Suicide?
It was asserted that one child, the
older, had shot her little sister and
then turned the deadly weapon on
herself. But is this the explanation

PRESIDENT READY TO
APPEAR BEFORE CONGRESS-

Washington, June 27.-Unless Car

American troopers held prisoners at
Chihuahua City by tomorrow night
President Wilson will probably go be-
fore congress Thursday to ask for
authority to rescue them by force.
Pending their release the United
States viii not consider any offer of
mediation.
The state department late tonight
had no intimation when Carranza's
reply to the note demanding their re-
lease might be expected or what its
tenor Of reply would be. It was de-
livered yesterday. Special Agent
Rodger had been unable to forecast
any action of Carranza and Ambas-
sador Arredondo said he had received
no intimation of the course of his
government. On his own response
bility he protested today at the en-
barge placed on commerce between
the United States and Mexico and the
arrest of several Mexicans in Cali
fornia and Arizona. Arredondo has
already sent his family to Canada.
Charles A. Douglas, who is the lie.
gal adviser of Carranza here, called
on Counsellor Polk at the state de-
partment today. It is understood he
suggested possible arbitration under
the Mexican treaty of 1S4S. He left
the state department with clear
impression that the United State:
would listen to no mediation sugges
ton.
indications at the war department
were that the military censorship
would likely tighten at any time.
Details of the militia mobilization
are IN General Funston's hands, an,
reports here on the mobilization ar
far from complete.
