THE German Government begs to
reserve further communication on thu
matter until certain points are ascer-
tanned, which are of decisive import

case. Should It tu' N out that the COM

dered to Mexico at Once.
Washington.-Gene Funston has
repeatedly urged that his forces be
strengthened. The question of calling
out a portion of the National Guard is
not under immediate consideration
however and as the only other means
of adding materially to the border
guard would be to employ coast artil-
lery troops as infantry if there is moth
ing to indicate that General Funstons
force is to be increased.
Senator Borah issued a statement
urging that additional troops be order
ed to the border and that any man
or party in Mexico which sought to
embarrass the task OF protecting Am
erican interests be treated as enemies
of the country. 1T must be apparent
to any one at all familiar with the
situation" said the Senator. that Car
rama cannot restore order in Mexico:
he cannot establish a government and
what concerns us most, he cannot pro

Secretary Lansing declined to say

Glenn Springs raids had come from
the American side OF the border. To
make any announcement. he said

more men in uniform than allowed by
league rules.
That FRANKIE is still on the pay roll.
That Hasbrook is a veteran.
That Ellison is the property Of De-
troit.
According to Muscatine papers Man.
aged Ned Egan replies to the charges
only in courtesy to President Justice.
He denies all the charges and in his
answer 20 the league head will de-
clare:
That the Hershey hospital records
will show that Pinkerton was most Sc
riously injured and that he was pa
tient there.
That Suman was merely working out
with the Nuskies and has never taken
part in a game nor been on the pay
roll
That FRANKIE was released some time
ago because of aisore arm, and that he
is free agent.
That Hasbrook is not veteran ac-
cording to the revised veteran rule.
That the records will show that Eli
son is the uncontested property of the
Muscatine club.
Muscatine papers charge that Man
aSer Larry Brown. of Clinton, is act
ing as agent" for Marshalltown, and
that the former member of Boyle's
keokuk team declared after a game
at Muscatine that he would throw
games to Marshalltown rather than see
Muscatine win the pennant.
In justice to Brown it may be said
that there IS no fairer or more hon
orable manager or player in the league.
AS to the statement that Brown is act
ing as an agent for Marshalltown or
Manager BOYLE it is the most ridiculous
assertion made by any sports writer
during the entire season.
AS to Marshalltowns interest in the
outcome of the protests, Manager Boyle
has repeatedly said he preferred to
take the games on the ball lot. rather
than to argue Contestable cases before
the league officials, but If ii should
be necessary for Manager Boyle to
protest any games, either those played
with Muscatine or any other club, he
Is quite able TO present his own case,
and will not employ an agent" to fight
his battle. Furthermore. if Manager
Boyle sees fl to tiit any protest il will
not be without justifiable provocation,
and he will probably have the evidence
to prove his contentious.

AMUSEM ENTS.
Atthe Strand.

Dustin Farnum. the popular movie
favorite appeared in "Davy Crockett" a.
the Strand Tuesday evening before two
large audiences. The old story OF
Lochinvar forms the plot of the pic
ture and along with some exciting ad-
ventures makes an unusually pretty
picture story.
Dustin Farnum. as Davy Crockett, q
poor unschooled frontiersman, who Is
in love with Eleanor Vaughn. an
heiress to vast estates, brings out his
character in his usual excellent way
while Miss Winifred Kingston, as
Eleanor. does just as well. Another
character appearing in the picture is
that of Neil Champion. the rival whom
Miss Vaughn nearly accepts, which Is
taken by the late Page Peters. Altho
only a few people in the audience were
aware of the fact, Peters was drowned
about six weeks ago while bathing in
California.
Paramount photographs, which pre-
coded the picture, were very interest
ing.
