Pershinu forces Issue.

Columbus, n. NJ, June 20.-General
]. J. Pershing, who commands the
American expeditionary force in Mex
leo, has sent cavalry detachments
south and west of Namiquipa base in
pursuit of bands of Mexican raiders.
according to reliable reports received
here. 1t was asserted that Pershing
received reports of the presence of
the bandits almost simultaneously
with General Trevinos warning that
any movement other than toward the
border would be considered a hostile
act Pending receipt of advices from
General Funston, he gave no orders
to give chase until yesterday. While
some anxiety is expressed here over
the move, it was believed that Gen
eral Trevino will not seize upon it
as an excuse for attacking the detach-
ments. A motor truck train, two
miles long. left here yesterday carry
ing ammunition and supplies to the
Amrican base.

FOR WORK At
FAIR GROUNDS
AT THE FAIR GROUNDS
MUST BE SECURED AND WORK
MUST BEGIN SOON IN ORDER TO
GET READY.

Secretary West stated yesterday
that an effort must be made soon to
secure lumber for the erection of
suitable buildings at the fair grounds
in order to have everything in 'readi-
ness for the opening date. A deal is
pending for the lumber in the taber-
nacle at the corner of Broadway and
c streets If this IS secured it will go
long way toward erecting the exhi-
bition hall The association has CON
tracted for the lumber in the new ball
park and this will be used toward
making the stalls and stables for
stock.
A grandstand must be erected, but
there are some hopes that the big
stand at Lorena park may be secured.
If not new stand will be erected.
There is but little time remaining
now for all this work to be done. AS
soon as the hotel matter is settled it
will be taken in hand and the build
ings erected. After the first year the
secretary states that the buildings can
be added to from the profits from
concessions, and within five years per
manent structures will be erected.
