Funston Satisfied
with Miiia's Showing

San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 7.-General
Funston may take exception to grumP-
lings or other shortcomings in some in
dividual cases, but he expressed himself
to the United Press today as "highly
satisfied" with the progress of the na-
tional guard on the border, so far"
When the militiamen first arrived
they had visions of crossing the bor-
der Immediately, killing Mexicaus and
distinguishing themselves generally
They were totally unprepared, mental
ly or physically for regular military
camp routine. But now they are get
ting hardened to it in both respects
and the men themselves seem to be
elated at the fact they are developing
into real soldiers. There have been
several cases recently of guardsmeu
turning down discharges obtained fof
them by relatives.
Funston intends to establish q
"freshman class" to harden men who
aave failed to come up to physical re-
uuirements. This is aimed particularly
at those who have fallen out on short
hikes.
Most of the complaints emanatine
from the border districts are those oi
newspaper correspondents who accom-
panied the troops, according to Fun
ston, who said these exaggerated ceT
ditions, "trying to find somethlag tc

Board Of Control Puts
Off Action On Flax

The board of control held a short
session this morning. Secretary OF
State OlcOtt was not present. The
meeting was neld for the purpose of
discussing the situation which has come
up through the complaint of flax
growers as to the decision of the board
to discard fields of flax in which weeds
predominant to an extent of fifty per
cent or more
Attorney General Brown on Saturday
gave an opinion that the state may
break its contracts and refuse to pull,
tie and shock the flax if the board is
confident that the growers nave failed
to give the crop proper attention.
The opinion of the attorney general:
~ would advise you that if the
board is confident that the facts of the
case show that the grower has substan-
TALLY failed through his own fault to
SOW and tend the flax with such ordi-
nary skill and capacity as the usual
farmer would employ, so that the OBJ,
ject of the contract would be defeated
or rendered unattainable, your board
would be justified in refusing to pull,
tie and shock the same. Otherwise,
the board should proceed in accord
ance with the terms of the contract. y
After some discussion of the mat
ter this morning, the board decided to
defer action until the receipt of re-
port from Superintendent Crawford,
who is now making an investigation
of the flax fields.

New York, Aug. Although sew,

Connie Mack s men are today near
q worlds record for consecutive de-
feats. Eighteen straight games have
been dropped by the shattered Athlet-
ics. Yesterday Connie in an effort to
break the string, sent his three best
twirlers into the game with Cleveland,
each to work three innings at top
speed. Nabors got through his three,
but Bush and Myers were slaughtered.
The past week marked the turning
point in the widest American league
race in history. Donovan's Yanks,
though crippled almost beyond recog-

vision by n scant game.
Brooklyn not only held but improv-

The Dodgers took seven straight
games. Boston went into second place
toward the end of the week and the
Giants, playing better ball tnan at any
time during the season, strengthened
their hold on fourth place.
The rush of the Browns in the Amer
lean came to an end when the Red Sox
squeezed out victory. But fourteen
straight wins got for Fielder Jones the
respect of every other American
league manager. The White Sox had
an even better showing for the week,
clambering to the top by winning eight
out of nine games
New York and Philadelphia each

Aluminium Dust May
Be Important Evidence

San Francisco, Aug. 7.--Discovery OF
what Police Captain Matheson believes
may be aluminium dust may prove an
other link in the chain of evidence
against the five persons charged with
murder in connection with the prepared

The dust was discovered early today

Nolan, one of those under indictment
1t has been sent to the city chemist fol
analysis.
Mixed with nitro-glycerine, aluminum
dust adds one-third to the explosive
power of bomb.
Matheson announced today that he
had strengthened the evidence against
Israel Weinburg, iitney driver and
bomb suspect, through the location of q
witness who will testify that Wein
burg's automobile was in front of 72l
Market street at the time when Vein

Suffrage May Reach
Vote This Session

Washington, Aug. 7.-Senatorial call
ers at the White House today believed
that this session of congress will see q
vote on the suffrage question. Efforts
are being made to bring the federal
amendment up for vote without dis
sion.
Chairman Thomas, of the suffrage
committee, has asked all of the sen
ators what their position is on getting
a vote and finds the feeling about
equally divided, he says. Senator Sha-
froth today declared the vote probably
would be taken although he said some
of the suffrage organizations were
now anxious to postpone a vote until
they had opportunity to solicit the aid
of few more members. They wish to
make a better showing this time than
when the question was up at the last
session.
