five miles below Fort Hancock, Tex,
55 miles east of here early today. Two
Americans we're killed and one was
wounded, while three of the outlaws
were killed and two escaped across
the river into Mexico, and are now
being pursued by Mexican troops and
a detachment of the Carranza custom

The nominee criticised the admin
istration for it's direction Of diplomat
ic intercourse, from the beginning, de-
claring that where there should have
been conspicuous strength and ex-

he added: ... :.
"Opposition may delay, but, in my
judgment, cannot defeat this move

said, "was war, of course"
Later, we retired from Vera Cruz"
he continued, "giving up this noble

it is sent at once to the border.
An efficient motor vehicle for trans

the boys at the border need more

they have to fear; not the guns of the

The theory that the fire, which

ed on munitions barge tied up at
the island was combatted today by
Robert s. Hudspeth, prosecutor for
Hudson county, and Theodore John
son, president of the Johnson Light

originated in two Lehigh Valley rail-
road freight cars, laden with explos-
ives. .s
Johnson, who was arrested on q
warrant charging manslaughter, as
was Albert Hickman, Black Tom
agents of the Lehigh Valley, and Al
exander Davidson, superintendent Of

A searching investigation of condi-

Two guards were ordered to search

In the investigation to be made,
both guards and convicts will be ask

The lack of rain and the low tenn.

from most sections of the state, has
already been done, this favorable

of millions of bushels of wheat.

A wELL-DEFInED ISSUE

The Chicago Tribune's special
correspondent, f. G. Hill, who fol-
lowed Candidate Hughes in his cam
paign of the middle west, report
ed his Milwaukee speech in the col
umns of the Tribune as follows:
Throughout Mr.. Hughes address
the applause, fled to hairtrigger
speed, exploded constantly like gun
volleys. The first burst Of applause
came when he said in the principal
city of the state of La Toilette that
the La Toilette shipping bill must
be repealed; the next, when he said
that the Underwood tariff must be
replaced by a protective tariff; the
third, when he declared that the
whole Democratic legislative accom-
plishment must be wiped off the
books for the good of the country"
At last we have a clear and we'll
cut issue. All who favor the repeal
of the La Follete shipping bill, all
who favor the repeal Of the Under
wood tariff, all who favor the re
peal of the Federal Reserve law,
the Rural Credits law, the Income
Tax law, the Agricultural Extension
act, the Child Labor law, and the
other labor legislation of the Wilson
administration, the Alaskan Rail-
way bill and the other progressive
and conservative legislation of the
Wilson administration should vote
for Mr.. Hughes. Those who do not
favor the wiping out of the whole
Democratic legislative accomplish
ments should vote for President
Wilson.

For 1915-16 exports greater; i'm

Frank Carter, Vice President of

"One of the best reasons | know
for saying that Woodrow Wilson

condition in banking circles, in that
there is no attention being paid to
