MEXICAN FORCE NUT GATHERING
 NEAR DOUGLAS
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire]

Republican A. P. Leased WreJ
 DOUGLAS, March 24.-Reports cir culated here last night to the effect that large numbers of Mexican troops were being concentrated within strik ing distance of Douglas proved to he groundless today. Steps were taken, however. by residents here to request that patrols of United States troops be placed on guard throughout the city each night to guard against any possible uprising.
 Aside from the troops guarding the two smelters to the west of the town, the Mexican settlement at Pirtleville ito the north, and the United States customs house on the border, Doug
 las has not been patrolled at night by
 soldiers with the exception of squad
 of from ten to fifteen men cOmpos-
 ing the provost guard.
 A movement was instituted today
 by business men and other citizens, which is expected to result in appeals to General Thomas F. Davis, in com mand here, that soldiers be placed on duty at night in the residence dis tricts of the city.
 The work of the military police is confined principally to arrestine soldiers who Overstay their leaves from camp at night and it cannot be considered as a protection to the city it was declared by several business men.
 A large percentage of the popula- 1 tion of Douglas at least sixty pei
 cent is composed of Mexicans, anc according to reports circulated about the streets many of them are sympa thizers of the Villa movement. Many reports have been received by tho civil authorities of stores of ammuni- tiOn and rifles hidden in various quarters of the city, but thus fal none of these caches have been To- l cated if they really exist.
 Army officers here stated that tho city is being amply protected by tht ! soldiers and that patrols throughout | the streets at night are not necessary l They point out that with the guard. along the border and on each side O. l the town. no movements could bt ! started without the alarm being giveI 1 in ample time.

THREE AMERICANS KILLED 0N RANCH
 NEAR BORDER, PRESUMABLY BY BANDITS

DOUGLAS, Ariz, March 24.-Three Americans two women and one man, were killed near Gibson's line ranch on the New Mexico Mexico boundary, eight miles west of Columbus, N. M., between four and five o'clock We'd nesday afternoon, presumably by Mexicans, according to the story brought here by a party of five Doug las people. who said they arrived on the scene shortly after the bodies had been removed by soldiers.
 A command of United States soldiers stationed at the Gibson ranch, was said to have crossed the line in pursuit of the slayers.
 Samuel Collins, automobile dealer; MT. and Mrs. Russell T. Childers Miss Lottie Milinowski and Edward Free man, all of Douglas, were the auto mobilists who told of the alleged kill ing.
 The names of the persons said to have been killed were not learned, according to the story told tonight by MT. and Mrs. Childers and Miss tIlC pal y lldu UccH lO EIi 1, Paso on a pleasure trip They de- cided that they would visit Columbus to view the ruins left by the raid of Villas men instead of returning here
 through Deming and LOrdsburg. N. M After leaving Columbus Wednes- l day afternoon they were stopped at
 Hermanas by the railroad section foreman, they said, who warned them
 that something was wrong at the Gibson ranch a few miles further on He said that he had been watching through a pair of binoculars and had
 seen a mounted band of 100 or more
 men, supposedly Mexican bandits
 cross the border near the ranch
 and ride to a water hole a mile and
 a half north.
 l After watering their horses, they
 rode back across the line He added that within a short time a number
 of troopers of the Twelfth cavalry had come to the ranch and moved about in an excited manner.

there is grave danger of an out
 break which will set the entire border in a blaze.
 The federal officials are showing increasing concern over the alarming reports about conditions which are being circulated here night and day and which are being sent out to the rest of the country in news dis patches. They are fearful of the eff feet that these reports will have on the Mexicans, who have shown many signs in the last few days of increas- ing restlessness.
 Consul Thomas D. Edwards at
 Juarez and several other Americans | resident in the Mexican town sent a telegram to the state department today vigorously protesting against | the circulation of these reports and | asking that some steps be taken to stop them. It is understood that sim I liar messages have been sent to Washington from other federal of
 ficers with direct recommendation
 that censorship be established here 1 No news of the reported fighting
 between the Carranzistas and Villistas

 Mexican sources that the bandit chie1

Wireless from Aurora

MELBOURNE, March 25.-The aux Hilary ship Aurora of the Shackelton Antarctic expedition has been damaged and proceeding to New Zealand Tor re- pairs, according to a wiress dispatch department yesterday.
 Four members of the Aurora's par
 ty were left behind at the Ross Sea
 base of the expedition.
 It is evident from the wireless dis
 patch that the fate of Lieutenant Sir
 Ernest Shackleton, it's yet unknown. Probably nothing will be heard from them until next November when the ice breaks
 The wireless dispatch says the Auro- "a was released from the ice in the Ross sea on March 14 in latitude 643O and longitude 161 east. The Aurora reported it had sent wireless messages for a relief ship during the winter but it's calls had not been answered. This | is believed to have been due to the abandonment by the Australian gov 1 ernment of Macquirie Island, as a wire | less station.
 y has received the following wireless. | from the Aurora: l Hull heavily strained. Ship re- l leased from ice March IA latitude 64.3

The automobilists proceeded toward the ranch. but before they had ar rived there they were stopped by a Twelfth cavalryman who advised them to come to the ranch house inn mediately so that the detachment there could afford them protection They were guarded at the house all night by seven troopers who had ar- rived there from Hachita, N. M., ir response to the alarm given when the three bodies had been found.
 The five civilians passed a sleepless night, sitting in the car, while the soldiers crouched around them in the pouring rain on guard. Peals of thunder and intermittent flashes o lightning increased the apprehension of the women.
 The soldiers told them that tho bodies of two women and a man hat been found in an automobile neal the ranch but they did not know wha disposition had been made of them After daylight they were allowed tt proceed toward Hachita.

BEST USE FOR EMBROIDERY
Transparent Cotton Materials May Be Trimmed to Advantage When This
 Method Is Employed

Waists and dresses of transparent cotton materials are trimmed with hand embroidery done in merccrized floss in Oriental colors. often outlined with black. This embroldery is quick ly done and is very effective If one is careful to make good selection of the colors to be combined. Small wooden or china beads are frequently combined with these embroideries in this way carrying out further the Oriental idea of establishment.
 An easy way to pad embroidery is to take a spool of alarming cotton and fasten one end to the work and let the spool run at will in making seallops on ehildrens dresses and other fancy work, such as simple doilies. center pieces or scarf covers. The work just flies as one holds the alarming cotton down and buttonholes over it all at one time.
 Bone or Ivory rings used for fancy work may be dyed with common dye that Is used for cotton goods, follow ing directions carefully. White rings may be dyed any shade desired, and also buttons.
 When embroideriug the turnover part of flower leaves. especially when the turnover is large. after the padding Is done. keep needleful of the thread with which the work is done and mark the stitch direction all the way across. This helps to keep the stitches straight
 The woman who uses stin canvas for cross stitching will find that her tng- CTS will be less harmed If, upon finish ing her stitching. she dampens the canvas and presses the material on the wrong side with a hot iron until dry. She can then remove the threads with greater ease. for they will have lost their stiffness.

NEW ACCESSORY TO B0UDoIR
Pretty Table Boxes Are Much in De- mand by the Fashionable Wom-
 an of Today.

The cult Of the box is growing space. perhaps because the modern woman has mere fal-lais to keep in order than her grandmother had or perhaps merely because box adorn- ment is an interesting art. Incidental ly 1t calls for q fair amount of in- genuity and if entails no little time and trouble in searching out suitable trimmings. most of which belong to bygene periods. and can only be found in old curiosity shops or among heir loom bundles of quaint embroideries. old faces and rich old-world broeades.
 Either plain or quaintly shaped boxes, by the air of rich fabrics and scissors and paste, are skillfully con verted into things of beauty-and of ten of value. for they are covered not only with rare brocades but with everything old and interesting.
