Feed Prices Advancing.

The big factor in the increasing prices
of eggs throughout the country is the
steadily advancing cost of feed of all
kinds. High feed prices have caused
farmers and poultrymen to dispose of
their focks or to cut them down almost
to the vanishing point, -and packers in
the middle west say there is less poul-
try in that section of the country now
than at any similar period in recent
years. Selling of poultry for market
purposes has naturally reduced the egg
output, and unusual as it is, eggs are
being withdrawn from storage at the
present time to supply current sde-

Gonza- les, deputy assessor of the state of Sonora, in whose behalf Mexican Con sul Lelevier at Douglas has appealed to American Consul Simpich at Nogales, was arrested here yesterday by sher- ifs deputies as he alighted from the Tucson Nogales stage. Passengers on the stage accused Gonzales of making incendiary speeches to Mexicans while en route from the border city to Tue son. According to statements of per sons on the stage, Gonzales alighted at Tubac, which is a Mexican settlement and harangued a crowd of Mexicans Following his arrest, a receipt given by Mexican army officer at Hermo- sillo for ammunition delivered was found in the seat of the car in which he had been riding.
 Gonzales at the county jail denied that he had melted the Mexicans al Tubac in any way He declares that he is a pacifist and that he was mere ly promising the Mexicans lands after the war in Mexico was over if they would return to their mother country

 FUR HOMICIDE
By HERBERT S. HOUSTON

DOUGLAS, Ariz, June 26.-Follow- ing receipt of an order from General AlVaro Obregon, Mexican minister of war that Norton Hand, American. min ing man held on homicide charge in Arizpe Sonora, should not be executed, General P. Elias Gales announced to- night through Consul Ives G. Lelevier that Hand would be taken to Nacozari, the southern terminus of the Naco- Zari railroad, 75 miles south of the border. for trial before the civil judge.
 General Gales said that he was granting the change of venue in or der that Hand might have better op- portunity of establishing his innocence if, as he claims, he had no part in the shooting affray in which James Parks, an American, and A. R. Dickson, British subject. and one Mexican cow boy lost their lives.
 Consul Lelevier tonight sent a tele- gram to Frederick Simpich, American consul at Nogales, protesting against the detention of ]. NJ. Gonzales an em- ploye of the Sonora treasurer's office on unspecified charges at Tucson. Ariz. Lelevier requested Consul Simpich to use his good offices in behalf of Con
 zales who he said was enroute to San Francisco on a mission for Falvio Bor- quez. treasurer of Sonora and as spe- cial representative of the Casa Obrero Mundial, an organization of Mexican workmen opposed to war between
 Mexico and the United States.
 General Gales said he had been un- | able to confirm the reported death of l three Americans, said to have been 1 killed Saturday near Nacozari Gener- al Gales believes, he said. the men 1 probably are making their way to-
 ward the border afoot, hiding by day
 and travelling at night. No bodies were found in the locality where the killing was reported to have taken | place

 They estimate that when the regi- ments reach the border under the new orders some companies will be promptly depleted by the men found

 Indications tonight were that 10000 additional might reach the border this week. In two weeks probably 50,000 could be transported south and within three weeks the whole force sum- moned under Presidnt Wilson's call l might be moved. Reports as to pro- gress of the mobilization are slow in | reaching the department now that departmental commanders are dealing directly with General Funston. It was | still impossible tonight to make an l accurate estimate as to the force which would be added to General
 Funston's command within the next l few days.
 State department estimates fix the number of Americans remaining in
 Mexico at approximately 1000. All l of these who decide to leave are ex- 1 pected to be enroute north by the end l of the week Some have announced 1 their intention of remaining, whatever happens. This number grows less

 SAN ANTONIO, June 16.-Diplo- matic exchanges between the United States and Mexico have ceased to oc- cupy the attention of army headquar- ters here.
 With the regular army officers and men ready for any sudden -eyentuality along the border, attention has been turned toward preparations for the arrival of national guardsmen and the whipping into shape of those army units which will take the place of the troops now stationed along the Rio Grande.
 Twelve thousand guardsmen are eX- pected to start for somewhere in Tex as before morning. Nine thousand oth- CTS are expected to follow immed- lately and within ten days General Funston is expected to have 10000 men to supplement the regular army units at his disposal.
 While other departments of the ar my are waiting the word from Wash ington or the sudden incident which will bring them into activity, the quar-
  night and day. Supplies of all kinds are being received in enormous quan- titles and commissary officers have ceased to speak of supplies in terms smaller than the hundred thousands.
 Bids were opened here today for 73,- COG animals. including 20000 draft and pack mules and 53,000 cavalry and ar tllery mounts. The total cost will be more than S10,000,000.
 It is deemed probable that when the final disposition is made of the regu- lar troops a censorship on troop move ments will be- established. At present many of the guardsmens are being sent to the main base camps but it is inn probable that these points represent the end of the journey tor the border
 Word was received at headquar- tcrs today that force of Mexican troops arrived opposite Mace Ariz. and were being held9iR trains at that point. General Funston said the Amer iCan officers were confident that they knew the object of the movement anC that plans had been rearried out tC counter it.
