ADD 1917 LAWS, TOO
State Printer Writes Explanation of
Kansas Statute Delay.

W. r. Smith, state printer, in a let
ter sent out today to the attorneys of
Kansas, states that the new Kansas
statutes probably will be off the press
some time in the early fall. He in
tends to print 5000 for Immediate use
and leave the forms open SO if the
legislature desires, the laws passed by
it can be added to the book and it
can be brought right up to the minute.
The compiling was delayed about
four months by an Injunction suit
brought by A. A. Graham, a disap-
pointed bidder, and it was near the
first of the year before any copy was
turned over to the state printer. Since
that time the work has been pushed
with all possible speed by D. E. Nc
Intosh, the compiler. Inquiries from
other states bring forth the fact that
it takes from one to two years to COM
pile the state laws.
THE compiling and annotations in
the new book will be very extensive, -
writes Mr.. Smith. According to es-
Inmates the new book will contain
5000 pages as against 2,474 of the
1909 statutes. The paper used is OF
lighter quality than that in the 1908
statutes and while there will be SOC
more pages in the new book, it will
not be nearly so thick

NAME HITCHCOCK?
Justice Hughes Also Refuses to
Discuss the Matter.

New York, June 12.-"Will Frank
Hitchcock be chairman of the nation
al committee? ?" Charles Evans Hughes
was asked today by a reporter
II can't say anything on that Just
now" replied the candidate with n
smile.
Twill you see Colonel ROOSEVELT"
Il can't say anything on that eth
err" Hughes said. He was in high good
humor and evidently was overjoyed at
his return to active politics in the role
of Republican presidential nominee.
WhiskerS Thinning Out.
He wore a gray business suit and
gray hat, appearing well groomed.
His beard is gray and sparse. 1t is
not nearly 50 thick and heavy as is
shown in pictures not taken recently.
There is still the distinct part down
the center of the chin, with a slight
tendency toward curling at the edges.
But it is not nearly the prominent fea-
ture in his appearance it was in the
old days. 1t might be said to be only
slightly reminiscent of the heavy
black brush that became famous in
the days of the insurance investiga-
ton.
MY plans for the immediate fu-
ture are rather uncertain Perhaps
shall stay here in New York for a few
days. You know, 1 live in New York -

A 3RD EXPEDITION
Funston Orders New Force Into
Mexico to Stop Raids.
U. S. Troops Are Now Chasing
De La Rosa Outlaw Bands.
CONSUL LOOKS FOR WAR
Carranza Agent Says Chief VIII
Take the Offensive.
Anti-American Feeling Is Said
To Be Running High.
CONSUL LOOKS FOR WAR

San Antonio, Tex, June IA third
American punitive expedition mas
crossed the international border sep
arating the United States from Mex
leo. The troops went under dlrecl or
ders from Mai. Gen. Frederick Fun
ston, commanding the southern OWL
sion United States army. with the
ayowed intention of capturing and
Furnishing or disbanding Mexican nam
dts making depredations into United
States territory.
The expected advertised raid by
Luis Della Rosa, that for four days
has excited much comment along the
border occurred Sunday at the L. A
Coleman ranch DIT HidalSo. Tex. IN
Zapato county. thirty miles east of
Laredo. No lives were lost there be-
iEg no casualties on either the Amer
lean or Mexican side.
Bandit troopers under the leadership
of Luis Della Rosa crossed the Rio
Grande not far from Neuvo Laredo
sps6opAd down on the Coleman ranch
and made away with some eighty-odd
horses.
Funston Fooled Him.
When Luis Della Rosa advertised
extensively that he intended to raid
Zarata county, Texas, it was believed
by. Funston that it was feint to
"Craw the fire. of the Americans. The
ruse- it was believed, was to induce
Funston to send reinforcements T. ON
other border points to Laredo. there
by leaving Brigadier General Pershing
open to attack. However, word
reached Funston in time that the lad
vertlsed raid" was a ruse and instead
of concentrating the border guard
Funston sent TO Laredo the Texas cav
airy squadron, leaving the border pa
trol intact.
Meanwhile General Alfredo Riquot,
Ca1ranzista commander at Nuevo La
redo on the Mexican side, gave assur-
ance that he and his forces would pur-
sue Della Rosa and his arch Cocoon
spirator, Pisano. This gave the Amer
leans false hopes which were dispelled
ouicklv when the troopers of Della
Rosa successfully raided the Coleman
ranch.
Consul Predicts War.
Douglas, Ariz, June 12.-Ives Lele-
vier, the Carranza consul in Douglas'
has unbosomed himself of official con-
fidences in a declaration that unless
the American troops withdrew lmme-
diately from Chihuahua, Mexico
would declare war.
t~The United States may think the
de facto government is bluffing," SAID
Consul Lelevier, "but Mexico is in
deadly earnest. If Wilson fails to or
der. the withdrawal of the American
soldiers there will be war. Mexico
will take the offensive. The time has
passed when Carranza can satisfac-
forily explain to the Mexican populace
the, presence of foreign troops in Mex
ico.'
All remaining Americans in the
state of Sonora were reported today to
be hurrying across the border. Anti
American feeling has cropped out
everywhere, say the arrivals. The Car
rama government is charged with
sending bellicose reports from Mexico
City The depreciation of the Car
rama script which has put the Indian
soldiery in bad humor is charged up to
the embargo placed by Washington on
the importation of munitions.

WILSON IN NO HURRY
President Probably Will Not Name
Hughes's Successor Until October.

Washington, June 12.-President
Wilson is expected to delay filling the
vacancy on the supreme court caused
by the resignation of Justice Hughes,
until about the time the court recon
venes in October after the summer re-
cess. 1t would be impossible for the
president to make an appointment and
obtain confirmation before the adj
journment of the court, as the senate
will not be in session until Tuesday.
Friends of Democratic candidates
for the bench are expected to. urge
early action to head off any possible
campaign for former President Taft.
Since Taft named Mr. Hughes it is
thought probable that Hughes. if
elected, will appoint the former presi-
dent to the first vacancy.

HILLES CARRIES
ROLE OF HEAD
WAITER NICELY

Chicago, June 12.-An amusing in
cident which Chas. D. Hilles, chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee, experienced while in Chicago
in connection with the Republican
convention was learned today. Satur-
day evening Mr.. Hilles. clad in even
ing clothes, was standing at the en-
trance to the dining room at his no.
tel when an excited man rushed up to
him and explained that he had been
deputized to arrange a dinner for a
party of friends and that he had for
gotten it until a late hour.
Say, old man, fix me up with a ia
bic and I'll make it all right with
you" he finished mistaking Mr.. Hilles
for the head waiter. Mr.. Hilles then
turned to the head waiter, arranged
for the table, signed the table ticket
and informed the patron that he was
provided for without informing the
man who he was.

WILSON WILL WIN
Democrats Express Confidence
on the Coming Election.
Hughes Choice of People, Says
Republican Senator.

Washington, June 12.-Prominent
Democrats expressed confidence today
that President Wilson will defeat
Charles E. Hughes, Progressives and
Progressive Republicans almost with
out exception refused to discuss Mr..
Hughes chances.
Senator Robert M LaFollette of
Wisconsin, and Representative w. E.
Kent of California, declined to be
quoted.
One of the expressions on the can
didacy of Mr.. Hughes was given by
Senator John D. Works, Republican of
California, as follows:
Justice Hughes was the choice of
the people generally and not of the
politicians. The people of the country
who know and appreciate what the
Democratic administration has been
doing will welcome this means of de-
liverance from q humiliating and in
tolerable condition.

with a series of substantial advances
at the opening of the stock market
today.
United States Steel and leading rail-

T. R. OUT OF IT
Will Take No Further Part in
Politics, He Says.
Refuses To Be Interviewed by
Newspaper Men.
(BY WILLIAM HOSIERY

Oyster Bay, n. Y, June 1.-THE
great trouble is that however Colonel
Roosevelt may kill himself off, the
people won't permit him to remain
dead. kilograms have poured into
oyster Bay all day demanding to know
what he is going to do next. There
are reports of half a dozen delegations
headed this way to ask him to come
out openly in support of Hughes, or
to ask him to reconsider his declina-
ton to head a third ticket.
Perkins, Cortelyou, Van Valkenburg.
McGrath are all expected tomorrow.
There will undou btedly be a series of
conferences for the next few days.
An emisSary from Hughes is expect
| ed at any time. Colonel Roosevelt
support of the Republican ticket is re-
1 garded as vital necessity by many
and a determined effort to bring him
! into line is already in sight, though
/ there is little to be said about it just
at present.
| 1t can be repeated with even more
certainty tonight than last night that
Colonel Roosevelt is through. Re re-
peated today his declaration that he
! is out of politics. He went further
He requested the newspaper CORE
| spondents not to visit him. This prop
osition is not absolute. of course. He
extended cordial invita- ton to them
to visit him socially at any time, but
| added:
/ Il will have nothing to say. ] will
/ answer no questions, so please don't
I, ask ME any, l am out of politics."
And this means, unless a change
comes over the situation, that no mat
ter, how he may be urged, Colonel
Roosevelt will play no part in the COM
! ing campaign-he will neither endorse
| Hughes. nor oppose him; he will
neither write nor speak in his support

St. Louis June 2-Suffragists OF
the newly organized Woman's party
and the National American Woman's
Suffrage association today rained de-

on their issue upon Democratic lead
ers The national organization, head
ed by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. in
sisted upon a declaration for suffrage
in the Democratic platform. while the
woman's party, through its chairman,
Miss Ann Martin, declared that unless
the convention resolution demands i'm
mediate adoption of the Susan Is.
Anthony resolution by congress, her
organization will declare war
There is no use to delay Miss
Martin declared today. 1.-The party
has the votes in congress to pass this
amendment If it so desires.
I'VE will present our last move and
the leaders can do as they choose. The
time for declarations of good intentions
and friendliness is past. With 4,OOO,-
600 women voters in twelve states

Senator Hollis of New Hampshire
was the first leader interviewed today
by the Woman's party representatives.
He declared he had no idea the pres
ent congress would be able to pass the
amendment, even if Democratic lead
ers so desired.
Want Hughes to Speak Out.
Mrs. Gait expressed confidence that
the Democrats would put a suffrage
plank in their platform. She regards
the declaration of the Republican
platform as a distinct advance even
though it was not a declaration for a
constitutional amendment. The am

Mr.. Hilles insists, Miss Alice Paul
of the congressional union said, that
the plank puts the party on record
for suffrage and does not intend to say
that states should deal with the ques-
ton separately, but merely recognizes
that they have this right Only few
of the suffragists interpret the decla-
ration in that way. however, and they
are demanding a formal statement OF
the Republican attitude. An effort
also will be made to have Justice
Hughes declare unequivocaIly for suf-
