CONDITIONS ON BORDER
More Raids By Mexican Bandits An
.ticipated

San Antonio, Tex, June Gen.
Funston announced last night that he
Rad what appeared to be positive
information that Luis de la Rosa was
t7arching from point south of Lar
edo in the direction of the border with
tire evident intention of raiding the
country somewhere west of Rio
Grande City.
There are not now in that district
enough American troops to prevent
De La Rosa and his men from eros
sing.
To the east of Laredo in Zapata
county, across the southern boun-
Diary of which De la Rosa is expected
to move, there is only one troop Of
American cavalry.
At just what point on the border
the Mexicans intend to strike was
not learned and it was not announced
just how far. away they were, but
they were said to be comparatively
near.
If De la Rosa and his men reach
the Rio Grande before American
troops can head them off,, enough
force will be sent against them to
drive them back into Mexico audit
was intimated, to run them down on
Mexican soil.
De la Rosa was one of the leaders
IF the group that directed the raids
west of Brownsville year ago.
| Since then he has been fugitive in
his own country, with price of $1,000
on his head, offered by the State OF
Texas.
Washington, June THE War De-
rartment received no report from
Gen. Funston last night regarding
the activities of Luis de la Rosa, but
officials were confident that the bor-
Ger commander had taken whatever
steps were necessary to prevent a
raid into American territory. De la
Rosa's movement have been closely
watched for weeks, and Gen. Funs-
ton undoubtedly is prepared, Off
Gals believe, for quick protection of
any border point the bandit leader
could reach.
Although Secretary Lansing has
begun drafting reply to Gen. Car
ranza's demand for withdrawal of
American troops from Mexico, its
preparation had not progressed far
enough for submission at yester-
days cabinet melting and Mexico was
not discussed. Neither the State or
War departments had any new dis
patches bearing on the situation.

JAMES J. HILL LEFT NO WILL
Widow Wants Louis w Hill Made
Administrator

St. Paul, June flames j. Hill,
the railroad builder, left no will. His
widow yesterday filed petition in
Probate Court asking that Louis W.
Hill, q son, be appointed administra-
tor of the estate, the value of which
is placed in the formal petition at
S10,O00,000. The petition was signed
also by the eight. children.
Just what the estate will aggre-
gate is question that will be deter
:rined only after the administrator
has spent a number of months eX-
aiming securities and holdings. 1t
was intimated that Mr.: Hills estate
would be managed by the admins
traitor directly, instead of through any
institution.
The fact that the Northwestern
Trust Company was not joined with
l.. w. Hill as one of the admlnlstra-
tors, it was pointed out, shows the
decided manner in which the Hill
family had united to hold the pro-
perties intact under one head.
L. w. Hill had ben associated with
his father in business for % years.
He has been head of the Great North
crn Railroad for seven years and of
the First National Bank since it was
bought by the Hill interests three
years ago.

Washington. d. C., Aug. 1.-THE real

On Mexico, Mr.. HUGHES has not suited

management is we'll known.
The problem which faces the party
now Is whether Mr.. Hughes, admittedly
one OF the ablest campaigners in Amer
lca. can put ginger" into the campaign.
VIA is really making the republic
cans nervous, in addition to their in

ers, Is the fact the administration and

time on politics and getting things We'll
