Secretary Baker let it be known
today that the War Department
was not disposed to accept as ac-
curate the report of Villas raid
on Chihuahua City last Saturday
transmitted by Brig. Gen. Bell
yesterday on the strength of in
formation that had reached him
in El Paso.
I'VE have no military information
as to renewed Villista activities" Sec
retary Baker said, indicating that it
was assumed that Gen. Bells account
was based upon rumorS and reports
current in border towns and not facts
obtained through army channels in
Mexico.

Fence Being Put Up.

The contractors today are construct
ing the fence which is to hide the
building operations, and will begin the
excavation within a day or two. La
borers today were removing the sod
from the plot, so that it can be used
elsewhere about the grounds.
OF pink granite. which is to come
from Connecucut, the building will
harmonize with the dark red of the
Smithsonian building and the pure
white of the Department of Agricul-
ture buildings, between which 1t is to
be located. 1t is estimated that it will
take about 1wo years to complete the
whole building, when the Freer col
lection will be removed from Detroit,
Mich, where it now is, to this building.
The collection. includes $500 works.
Mr.. Freer is constantly adding to it.
He has given much time and spent
much money in collecting it. A student

Police Protection Assured.

The police department told the trac-
ton companies that they could re-
establish night service as soon as they
were ready, under assurance of ade-
quate protection. Thus far 6.70o police
men have been disposed at strategic
points. This police guard includes a
patrol of fifty automobiles and 100
motor cyclists along the most exposed
car routes.
Trade union leaders, representing
about 100000 workers, will meet this
afternoon to decide whether to issue
a call for general strike. Some of
the labor leaders said such a strike. if
ordered. would begin Monday or Tues
day. The call, they said. would be
based on the ground that organized
wage earners should not ride in cars
manned by strikebreakers.

Fine Whistler Collection.

The collection of Whistler is declared
to be the finest known. Mr.. Freer was
a personal friend of Whistler.
A complete detailed inventory of the
collection has been turned over to the
Smithsonian, so that every piece of
art in the collection can be easily
identified.
Mr., Freer first agreed to bequeath
the collection to the institution and to
give 100000 for the erection of the
building. Later he wiped out the orig
inal conditions and determined to give
the collection as soon as a suitable
building could be provided to house it
here. However realizing that the cost
of building materials and construction
work had increased materially since
1905, when he made his original offer,
he doubled the amount of the original
offer for the building, making it ST.
10000.

WHY NOT PRODUCE
LEATHER IN TExAsY

Austin, Texas. Apr.i-Polntlng out
that among the states Of the Union

tor In Chemistry In the University

this curious state Of affairs His CON
illusions are Of especial interest to
3 Buy-u- Made. ln-Toxas boosters.
"What other raw material besides
hides are necessary to the production
Of leather?" he asks.
Here Is a summary Of his reply'
Vegetable tanning substances
Now sumac grows In Texas and II Is
nrst-class source Of this material
used In tanning the highest grades
OF leather. and the supply Of oak
bark in Texas is lnexhaustable. Be
sides mineral tanning Is now an ac-
compllshed fact. threatening to dis
place certain OF the ola vegetable
substances, Other chemicals used In
tanning are common salt, lime, sui
phur.and caustlc soda. All Of these
are cheap substances Two Of them
lime and salt. are produced In abund-
ance In our state. sulphur is produc-
ed in large quantities In Louisiana,
and will probably be produced In this
State In large quantities before a
great many years. There is no reason
why the caustlc soda could not be
made In this state as we produce the
salt required and we have an mex
haustable supply OF coal"
In short, an examination into the
supply Of other things needful to the
tanning industry leads Or. Dowoll to
declare that the things lacking are
and easily supplied.

FARM LOAN HEAD
 ISSUES WARNING

Washington, D. C., Aug. 22.-Secre- tary Flanagan of the Federal farm loan board today issued warning to farmers that solicitors are busy Tn several States without authority of the board attempting to collect money for the organization of national farm loan associations.
 Such associations are authorized un- der the law and are to be formed by farmers who desire loans.
 The representation by any person that any organization is now offering to make loans by authority of the farm loan board under the Federal farm loan act is false," said Mr. Flar- nagan, "and any attempt to collect money under such representation is fraudulent and is punishable by fine and imprisonment"
 Dates and places for hearings by the farm loan board on the western part of it's present journey to collect information to aid in locating Federal lean banks were announced today From Spokane, the board will work eastward and hearings will be held at Kansas City, Kas, September l9, Sr. Louis September 20; Louisville Sep tember 23, and Columbus, O., Septem- Der 24.
 The board will return to Washing ton September 26.

to shirk any church responsibility or duty.
 MT. Fairbanks was trained in the Methodist institution of the Western University and has an education above the average man in public life. Here then, Is the remarkable thing about these four candidates: they allshaye had very high religious training and influences thrown around them all their lives and have come from the good old fashioned christian homes. the two presidential candidates being the sons of ministers, and have re- fiected honor upon their fathers and reciprocated the fine training they have received. Then again, the four were educated in the schools and uni versailles of the church, Hughes in q Baptist school, Fairbanks in a Methodist and Wilson and Marshall in Presbyterian institutions. All are considered above reproach in their christian walk and none of them is a dead beat in his church or a mere nominal church member. The poli- ticians have paid a great compliment to christianity in selecting these sons of the church to lead them in this re- markable campaign. Four years ago the Democrats, wishing to defeat the Republicans who had been in power for 16 years, looked around for the strongest men they could find and selected Wilson and Marshall, both educated and trained by the church, and now Republicans, after being out of office four years and wanting to get back must have men as good as the democratic candidates, and so they also select two sons of the church with religious training of a high order and an education of the superior type and they too have picked out two sons of the church. Now it makes no differ ence how the election goes, each has his choice, but the church will win and the church school will get new laurels as her work is manifest in training these four men, and she will demon- strate again that the church has the best to offer her sons and daughters and instead of it being a hindrance to be trained and educated by the church, it is an advantage. The church never has to take back seat nor play sec ond fiddle when it comes to training men and having them take the lead ir the mighty movements to benefit the country and elevate mankind.

It is altogether probable that one morning of the Fair will be devoted to a discussion of the tick eradication movement in this section. A number of stock breeders have spoken to the manager about this, and Mir. Presson says that if this is arranged he feels sure the entire office force of the De partment of Agriculture, with their experts on this question, can be had to speak and make demonstrations at this meeting. We also will have an experience meeting, and breeders who have been experimenting along this line will give their views. More than 25 dipping vats have been installed i}, Hampstead county the past two years, and this looks like the people are waking up along this line. This is what we want. This is what the Fair is for. It is nothing if not educa- tional. If plans now in the making work out satisfactorily, the morning of Thursday the 26th, will probably
 be devoted to this convention. Defi-
 nite announcement will he made later.

Four of them signed the petition in Little Rock, but gave Hope as their place of residence. Rev. T. D.
