MITCHELL IS OPPOSED
 TO GERMAN REGIMENT

New York, June 28-Mayor Mitchell objects to the organization of a regi- ment of troops to be composed ex- clusively of citizens of German birth. He made public today a letter in which he replied to the suggestion of a German resident of this city that such a regiment be organized The mayor said in his letter:
 'I would deprecate the formation of a regiment composed wholly of men of any one nationality whether they be German, French, Italian or Rus sian, that might tend to draw very racial lines which I believe ought to be avoided. I suggest that you urge your men to join the regular organ izations of the national guard or such other organizations as may be re cruited by the federal authorities

RAIDERS MURDER
 TWO AMERICANS:
 TROOPS IN FIGHT
Cavalry Detachment Pursues Bandits Who Cross Into
 New Mexico and Slay Rancher and Wife-Forty
 Prisoners Reported Captured By Jenkins Soldiers

Fl Paso, June 28-Another Ameri- can force may be already across the Mexican border today, pursuing ban dits who Monday night murdered MT. and Mrs. William Parker at their ranch home near Hachita, N. M, and drove off most of their livestock. As the ranch is only four miles from the line, it is not believed the maraud- CTS will be overtaken before they reach Mexico, and there is no idea that the American pursuers will turn back at the frontier.
 Twenty Bandits in Raid
 The bodies of MT. and Mrs. Parker were found in their home yesterday morning. Both had been shot The ranchmeh who found the bodies re- ported that they learned from Mexi- can cowboys employed on the ranch that about twenty mounted bandits had approached the ranch about 10 Monday night. The cowboys fled, and the bandits after killing the Parkers, footed the house, rounded up all the horses and cattle at the ranch, about 200 head of the latter and twenty five horses, and drove them off to- ward the international line.
 Several large posses of citizens join ed the cavalry detachment in the seach for the bandits.
 It is believed the raiders belong to a band of stock thieves known to have a lair in the Sierra, Madre, south of the New Mexican border. There is no expectation that the troops pur- suing them will encounter any Mexi- can so1diery, as all reports indicate that Mexican forces have been con centrated further east and south, in Chihuahua and Sonora.
 Reports Another Fight.
 An American arriving here from Co1onia Dublan, Gen. Pershing's field headquarters, reported that Major John M. Jenkins of the Eleventh Cav

NOBODY TO TAKE .S2,OOO JOB UPON
 PAYROLL OF CITY
Board of Health Can't Find Bacteriologist to Work
 For That Salary.

There is a $2.o0O city job wander ing around Bridgeport begging to be taken in by someone but no one seems to want it. The job is bacteriolog1st for the Bridgeport health department.
 When the board was getting it's ap . propriation for the fiscal year from the board of apportionment and taxa ton last January it asked for $2,5OO for the salary of such an official. The tax board thought $2,00 would be pay enough for an official to do this re- search work. Accordingly the lopped off $500 the appropriation asked.
 Members of. the board of health thought they could get some compe- tent university graduate to take the position and devote his entire time to the work. Next year they might get him an increase in salary and as the work increased the place might be made into regular job. But they have been unable to get a man either here or elsewhere who will take the place.
 At present Dr. George E.. Ober. chief of the skin clinic for the board does the bacterio1og gtEt's work. He makes a charge for each analysis he makes and last year received a little more than 1000 for this work. His laboratory is still located in the po- lice and charities building although the offices of the board of health have

PLAN TO REBUILD
 PLEASURE BEACHS
 FAMOUS BOARDWALK

Pleasure Beachs "boardwalk'' will be rebuilt. The promenade, extending from enc end of the resort to the oth- CT, will be completed for the opening Saturday.
 The boardwalk, as reconstructed, follows the line of the old promenade, and, as heretofore, will be lined on both sides with amusement and re- freshment concessions. Workmen to- day had progressed as far the bath houses on the reconstruction work. The walk will be brilliantly lighted every night.
 Workmen have wrought wonders at the Beach within the past few days. The bath houses are practically com pIeted, while the redecoration and il- Illumination of the spacious dance hall are well under way. Concession stands have sprung up mushroom-li along the boardwalk and many concessions are at the Beach ready for business. Contracts were closed yesterday for the installation at the resort of one of the largest Ferris wheels in the East. This popular amusement device will be located near the boardwalk. in the heart of the Beach. l It is announced that the first sacred concert by the Wheeler & Wilson, band
 will be given Sunday afternoon. There
 will be another concert Sunday even ling.

Hadley Furniture Go.
 Increases Facilities
 For Storage of Stock

Twenty thousand feet of floor space have been added to the already capa- cious storage facilities of the HadIey Furniture & Carpet Go: by the acqufsi- tion of a long term lease on another warehouse, by Manager Richard Op- pei. Negotiations have been compIet- ed whereby the warehouse adjoining the present Hadley storage rooms in East Washington avnue, near Housa- tonic. may be used by the Hadley Go. for reserve stock.
 According to Manager Oppel, the Hadley Go. now has the largest fur nfture-storing capacity of any firm in the city, by 50 per cent Articles in storage at the Water street warehouse will be removed to the new one as soon as remodeling is completed.
 Additional garage facilities will also be possible. A building to house six motor trucks will be added to the rear.

airy yesterday brought in from 30 to 40 Mexican prisoners to Colonia Dub Ian as a, result of a skirmiSh on the Santa Maria river, midway between Colonia Dublan and Carriza1, between Mexican troops and the Eleventh. Ma jor Jenkins was in command of the detachments of the Eleventh sent out to scout for survivors of the Carrizal fight.
 The American reporting the affair said he himself saw the prisoners brought in under heavy guard and counted them as he stood by the road side. He had been unable to learn whether there had been any casual ties, but was under the impression the Mexicans had been overpowered and had surrendered with very little fight ing. Major Jenkins, he said, had about 500 troopers with him.
 Nothing official bearing on this re- port has been received by Gen. Bell, who has sent wireless to Gen Per shing telling him of the report. The man who brought it in is Mormon settler near Casas Grandes and has been considered trustworthy. No word of the reported skirmish has been re- ceived from Columbus, the nearest point to Gen. Pershing's headquarters. It is considered possible Major Jenkins had merely rounded up a number of suspicious characters in the neighbor- hood.
 FfIibusters Rolled.
 It was reported from Noga1es that a heavily armed American flibuster- ing expedition, organized to recapture an automobile seized, by the Mexican authorities, was broken up at that place by United States troops. The men forming the expedidtion, all car rying revolvers or automatic pistols and many of them rifles or shotguns, were setting out in six automobiles when headed off by a squad of infan- try.

VICE PRESIDENTS CHANGE
 ONE IN SEvED

Next March the office of President of the United States will be 12s wears old Of the total, 1101 F years are ac counted for by men who were elected President, and 171k. years by men who were elected Vice President and were promoted by chance to first place. This mathematical relation makes it more difficult than ever to understand why the Vice Presidency should have become something to be earnestly avoided. On the part of inc public it is criminal indifference for ignorance which would make a joke out of an office laden with grave no- tentia1ities. Seemingly, the two in stances of Andrew Johnson and Theo- dore Roosevelt ought to be enough to show that tho office of Vice President does carry with it the possibilities of III or good for the nation. What is still harder to understand is the atti- tude of the public man whose anbi- t1ons reach out to the White House
 One chance out of fifty to be noroi- mated for President is enough to spur on an aspirant to years of effort for the prize, whereas the figures show that a Vice President has one chance in six or seven to become President New York Evening Post.

BANDITS TO LEAD VILLAS FOLLOWERS
 AGAINST OUR MEN

El Paso, June 28-Fresh cause for apprehension was found along the border today in news of the gath ering of strong forces of former Villa sympathizers under notorious chief tains in the vicinity of Juarez and the close surveillance by the civil and military authorities on former adher- ents who are now refugees in El Paso.
 General Jose Flores, commanding 800 infantrynen, is reported in Juarez after making peace with the de facto government. General Manuel Ban da, once a Villa subordinate, known to be across the Rio Grande, and Mandil Medinavietia and Jose YsabeI Robles also have taken advantage of the amnesty granted by Carranza. Still another former Villa leader, Col Maximo Castillo, has joined General Gonzales garrison in Juarez. Castillo who has been blamed for the dyna- rniting of the Cumbre Tunnell in Feb ruary, 1914, in which 25i Am ericans and 50 Mexicans lost their lives re- gently returned to Mexico via Vera Cruz from Cuba, where he went after being released from custody after the Cumbra crime
 The bandit raid at Hachita which resulted in the murder of William Parker and his bride, still was a sub- ject of speculation today in connec- ton with the presence of former Villa followers in Juarez and the apparent lack of protection afforded the border 1 from bandit raids. Their probable I activities in the event of hostilitie; ] gave rise to numerous a1armist theor | ies.

DRASTIC ORDINANCE
 MAY BE MODIFIED AT
 REQUEST OF JITNEURS

At a meeting last evening of the or dihance committee of the, common council, representatives of the jitney drivers and chauffeurs, many modid- cations were suggested and approved for. the jitney ordinance that has been the cause of so much protest. The bond requirement., which has been set at from $5,0O0 to $1o.oO0, probably will be reduced to $1,OO0. A jttney driver may be allowed to drive a ear other than the one specified in the license. The fare charge may not be necessary on the side of the Jttney, because many cars are hired out at various rates. The plan to keep the jitneys off Main street from 5 to p. m. may not be realized as it was pointed out that a large percentage of the business Is done at that time, and the traffic would be diverted to Water street, which would cause congestion there.
 The city attorney will be asked to frame a new ordinance to be present ed to the council probably next Mon day night,

Several wagonloads of foodstuffs held up at the international bridges were released today after the consignors received permission from Washington to send them across. That the food shortage is becoming acute in the in terior of Mexico was declared by ar rivals from the south who told of bread, lines in Chihuahua City, Duran go and Torreon and brought pictures to substantiate their statements.
 Mexican refugees who reached the border today from the mining dis tricts of southern Chihuahua brought stories of the organization of "dyha- mite squads in General Trevino's | army. They said it is planned, should it become apparent in event of war that the de facto troops could not handle the railroads, to destroy them and the attachments now stationed along the Mexican Central and the Mexico Northwestern will be concen- | trated at Chihuahua City.

Harold Bradley, N a m p a
Trooper, Writes a Poem
on Failing Out"

Nampa, Oct An a letter just re-
ceived by Fl. c. radley, of this city,
from his son, Harold Bradley. who is
bugler with company B of the Idaho
regiment at Nogales, the military life
led by the American soldiers now
quartered there is graphically de-
scribed as follows:
I'VE are working pretty hard here
now. We have drill and parade from
to IL a. M, signal drill from l to 2
p. m. and bugle practice from to 3
p. m. Then we have to blow retreat
at night at us.
I'VE have an inspection of equip
ment or clothing or feet every day or
two. We have to fall out so much
for different things that 1 wrote a
poem on it. 1 call it The Call of the
Wild because it makes us almost wild
to keep up with them.
IAN splitting whistle pierces the
air;
The suddenness almost raises our hair.
It's fail out for reveille or fall out for
retreat
Or fall out. you rockies, for something
to eat;
It's fall out for mess or fall out for
drill
Or fall out for sick call and go get a
pill;
It's fall out for inspection, get on your
hat;
Or it's fall out for canteen checks, re-
lay that;
It's fall out, come get your mail.
You fall out and fall out until it gets
stale.
You fall out to get into your clothes
And how many more nobody knows.
I'VE were issued our sweaters day
before yesterday; it is getting pretty
cool nights here and the guards are
j issued overcoats to wear on theii
beats. The Y. NJ. C. A. gives picture
shows two or three nights a week and
they have plenty of reading matter.
