WASHINGTON, D. c., March g.
President Wilson and Secretary Baker
of the war department discussed the
raid on Columbus, N. NJ, briefly this
morning, but no announcement con-
corning the administration probably
course of action was given out
The raid started new agitation ia
congress favoring energetic action in
the Mexican crisis. Opponents of the
Wilson administration openly charged
today that the Carranza government is
powerless to restore order, while off
cials remained silent. 1t is indicated
however, the situation is considered
critical, and that its presents many diff.
ficulties for the Wilson policy of nom
Interference. At the White House it
was said vigorous step are to be taken
without delay, but no intimation is
given out concerning the nature of
these steps.
One course discussed in official cir
cles and generally commented on fav.
orably, is that of sending troops into
Mexico to clean out the bandits infest.
Ing Sonora, Chihuahua and other
northern states of the republic, such
invasion to be simultaneous with
declaration to the powers of the Amer
lean hemisphere that territorial integ,
r;ty of Mexico is not to be impaired.

In keeping with their consistent
growth since the day on February 81,
1892, the Planters Bank of Americus

their annual meeting last night and
declared dividend of 10 per cent. on

Quiet Prevails Now,

COLUMBUS, N. NJ, March 9-At 2:2O
clock this afternoon quiet prevails
here after a night filled with terror for
the inhabitants, and great loss to
property owners. The first fighting
between Villa and the troops occurred
within the city proper, with Villa per-
scnally leading the bandits. Several
survivors of the massacre state they
saw a man whose appearance CORES
ponds with published photographs of
Villa debating to the raiders, and per-
scnal papers found in a portmanteau
abandoned by the Mexicans undoubted-
ly belong to Villa. This, coupled with
the statement of one man who knows
tie bandit chieftain by sight that he
saw Villa, apparently established the
leadership of the raiders.
DclOIo IHC iA SI dIIdCh was ulduS, dll
wires leading toward Ell Paso were cut
3y the Mexicans, who appear to have
acted according to carefully matured
plans. This afternoon Columbus pre-
sents a war-torn appearance, every
building in the town, apparently, hav.
irg been struck by the flying bullets.
Hardly window. remains without one
o. more panes of glass broken, and
bodies of the victims of the massacre
have not yet been buried The Mexican
dead it is authoritativeiy reported,
numbered eighteen, while unknown
number of wounded succeeded in es-
Gaping.
Major Frank Tompkins, commanding
two troops of the Thirteen United
States cavalry, chased the raiders out
of Columbus early this morning, and
the troopers have not returned. One
report states the cavalrymen crossed
the border close upon the trail of the

MAYOR JONES To.
HEAD THE CRISP
FAIR COMMITTEE

A letter was sent to Mayor J. Gordon
Jones, of Cordele, asking him to head
the Third Agricultural District fair
committee from Crisp county as chair
man. This morning the following let
ter was received from him:
Il have yours of the 9Th inst, and in
reply thereto beg to say that will
gladly act as chairman of the commit
tee which l have appointed to repre-
sent Crisp county in making the
Third Agricultural District Fair a
srccess. l am, however, a very busy
man, but feel that l have selected a
committee who will take pride and
personal interest in the work and can
be counted on to aid in every way pos
sible to carry through the entire prop
'osition successfully.
1T has always been my IDEA that
these district fairs would be of more
benefit to the people than a general
state fair, for that, when the interest
OF a particular section is brought to-
gethar and is localized, it always
creates greater rivalry, and interest
among the people to push forard and
to accomplish more than they had
ever before, and l have noticed that
the state fairs do not bring about this
spirit of rivalry and contest, which
means development.
"The bringing together of the nine
teen counties in this district will
bring together a community which
looks forward to about the same crops
ard all the people are engaged IN
about the same line of farming and
stock raising.
IF there is anything further l can
do to aid you and your associates in
this work, let me know"
The committee appointed by Mayor
Jones is a strong one and is as fol-
lows: S. c. Byrd, chairman of the
Crisp county board of commissioners;
j. w. Bivins, superintendent of Crisp
county schools; c. NJ. Mckenzie, J. J.
Williams and ]. w. Cannon. All these
men are wide-awake, progressive citi-
zens of Crisp county, and it will be
found that they will be the making of
this big fair

COnferring With New
Secretary

WASHINGTON, D. c., March O.
The massacre of American citizens at
Columbus, New Mexico, within the bOr.
ders of the United States, makes it diff
fcult for President Wilson to refrain
from actual interference with Mexico.
Officials in Washington admit the
fear of an outbreak in congress. The
state department said the situation IS
very serious. A memorandum to Gen.
ccaI Carranza de factO head of the Mex
lean nation recently recognized by the
United States, is understood to have
been started.
Senator Fan, of New Mexico, has
telegraphed citizens in the stricken
town for details.
"Means intervention" stated Senator
Robinson, of Arkansas, in referring to
the massacre.
Senator Stone, chairman of the for.
eign relations committee, has cOmmun-
icated with the state department.
"It looks like Funston must get
busy" was the comment of Senator
Ben Tillman, of South Carolina.

At the different governmental de.

however, to say the raid on Columbus
puts very serious aspect on the Mex
lean situation. While heretofore the
Wilson administration policy has
been to look to the Carranza govern
ment to deal with border bandits, num-
erous Wilson supporters in official cir
cles openly declar there exists a ser
iGus question as to whether or not the
raid on Columbus furnishes enough
evidence of Carranza's inability to
deal with the situation. The sending
of United States troops into Mexico
for the purpose of stamping out bor-
der warfare, at noon today, is regard
ed extremely probable, thodgh there
still exists a possibility that such
action may be undertaken in co-opera-
