street. In column of squads, with
the officers at the head and the colors
in the center, they marched around
the square. The people did not cheer
them much; perhaps they felt too
ldeeply, but they watched The little
column with tensest interest, and the
one thought common to all was, ssIIow
many of them will be here when they
march around the square again."
The parade did not last long. The
company after passing around the
square marched to in front of the
Ocala House, wheeled and returned to
the armory. Brief as the event was,
nothing has stirred Ocala so deeply
since the day over eighteen years ago
when the same company, composed of
boys, most of whom are middle-aged
men nov, left the city for the Span
ish-Ameffcan war.
AS the soldiers broke ranks at the
armory, their attention was called to
some beautiful and appropriate music
in the Temple, where the singing of
patriotic songs was led by Mrs. Van
Hood, and Messrs. Lester Lucas and
Linn Sanders.

A BIG EVENT
Adjustment Sale of Goldman's Starts
Saturday, June .24th

SATURDAY, June .z4tn
The big Adjustment Sale being ad-
vertised in the Star promises to be
one of the most important sales ever
held in this city.
Mr.. B. Goldman informs us that he
has an immense stock on hand and
circumstances compel an immediate
adjustment of the entire stock. In
order to effect the desired ends, he
must sell several thousand dollars
worth of goods in short time This
accounts for the startling slashes ir
prices to be made for this sale, and il
is to be expected that the sale will be
a success, and the store crowded from
its opening to the end.
The Star is glad to call this sale to
the special attention of its readers
knowing well that those who attend
will have every reason to be glad they
did so.

A friend of DR.. Montgomery in
Ocala received yesterday letter
from the doctor, who was In jail in
Gainesville, protesting against the re-
port that he was imprisoned for try
ing to choke his mother. The doctor
claimed that he was peacefully mind
ing his own business in his office Sum
day, when certain parties tried to kill
him, opening fire on the house from
behind trees some distance away.
This much of the story was corrob-
Grated by an Ocala chauffeur, who
was in Micanopy Sunday, and was
warned by the people to keep away
from the vicinity of Montgomery's of
flee. The Star received it's report
from the Gainesville Sun, but it is
willing to give DR.. Montgomery as
much correction as it can. Montgom-
|ery's friends are puzzled what to do
with him. He is conceded to be a
most kindhearted man and a superb
physician when he is sober. Ocala
has seen how much trouble he can
make when he is drunk. 1t is likely
that if he could be put somewhere
where he could obtain no whisky he
would make one of the best of citi-
zens.

CONDITION IN
MARION COUNTY
OF Dixie Highway and Paradise Loop
Reported at Orlando by Rep
resentatives from Ocala

At the meeting of the Central
Florida Highway Association in Or
lando today, report on the condition
of the Dixie Highway and Paradise
Loop in Marion county will be made
through Mr.. j. j. Gerig, acting for
Mr.. j. D. Rooney, director for this
county. The report, prepared by
Louis H. Chazal, president of the
Marion county council OF the Dixie
Highway association, states that the
two branches of the great highway
are in good condition, and that where
there are rough places repairs will be
made.
At the recent meeting of the Cen
trail Florida Highway association in
Ocala, resolution was adopted call
ing for report from each county in
the center of the state on the condi-
tion of the highway, with a view of
changing the route in the case of
counties failing to carry out their
pledges to provide and up-keep the
stretches of road within their boun-
daries.
The report for Marion county fol-
lows:
]. D. Rooney, Director for Marion
County, Central Florida Highway
Association, Ocala, Fla.
My dear Mr.. Rooney: I herewith
give you report on the condition of
the Dixie Highway, and of Paradise
Loop, in Marion county, in order that
you might, in turn, report to the Gen.
tral Florida Highway association at
its annual mee ting in Orlando, June
%.
The roads in this county designated
as the main line of the Dixie High
way, from the Alachua to the Lake
county line, and as the Paradise Loop
from Ocala to the Citrus county line,
are hard-surfaced roads that have
been down for some time, and many
Of the members of the Central Flor
da Highway association have been
over them. The general condition of
.hese roads is at present good. Where
here are any rough places the county
commissioners, according to Mr.. w.
D. Carn, chairman, will have repairs
made at once. There is rather
,ough stretch of about a mile within
he corporate limits of Reddick, and
have, through Mr.. C. NJ earn, taken
Up with the citizens Of that place the
question of putting the stretch in
rood shape. / feel confident that ac-
ion will be taken in the matter.
Commissioner earn informs me
hat the main line of the Dixie High
way for % miles north of the Lake
'ounty line has been contracted out
or up-keeping, and that the commits
loners hope very shortly to contract
or the up-keep of the balance of the
highway in this county. The COM
nissioners hope to make a contract
or the up-keep of the Paradise Loop
y the first of the year. This is in
ddition to the repairs that I have al
eady mentioned.
The commissioners, am pleased to
eport, have agreed to purchase and
lace along the Dixie Highway the
Dixie Highway the official markers.
md contract has just been awarded
or 100 reinforced concrete posts for
ne markers. The posts viii be used,
90, as mile posts. A hundred of the
markers have been ordered.
1t will probably be of great interest
0 the members of the Central Flor
da Highway association to know
hat Marion, one of the pioneer good
oads counties of the state, having at
resent over 200 miles of hard

is corroborated by James Maxey, an
American, who was also on the train.
Hubble and Maxey said they talked
with Carranza officers at Villahua-
mada, and they said the Mexicans
Tclaimed to have killed seventeen
Americans and to have taken forty
prisoners, which contradicts earlier
reports. They said several hundred
Americans and one hundred and twen-
ty Mexicans were engaged in the
fight.
Hubble declared that the Mexican
officers asserted that General Gomez
went forward to the Americans under
a flag of truce. Directly the Ameri-
cans began deploying in semi-circle,
and Gomez, believing he was to be
attacked, gave the order for his ma
chine guns to fire. He was later kill
ed by a pistol shot.
PERSHING HAS NO REPORT
San Antonio, June 22.-General
Pershing wired General Funston this
afternoon that he hadn't received any
report on the Carrizal fight. He said
he had sent two squadrons of the
Eleventh cavalry to get into touch
with the troops of the Tenth engaged
at Carrizal. Officers drew inference
from reports current that Captain
Charles T. Boyd, in command Of
Troop M, Tenth cavalry, was engaged
in the battle of Carrizal.
NO CHANGE IN POLICY
Washington, June 22.- The admin
istration sees no reason in the Mex
lean accounts of the Carrizal clash
for change of policy. No decision
will be made, however, until a report
is had from General Pershing.
President Wilson said in view of
the fact that the fight is an incident
for which subordinate commanders
are responsible, it is not likely to pre-
cipitate fighting. The Mexican for
eign office communication sought an
explanation of the presence OF Amer
lean troops SO far from their base,
and its tone and contents are taken to
indicate that Carranza seeks to dis
claim responsibility and make it plain
the de facto government is not try
ing to expel Americans by force.
IN THE ARMY AT ONCE
A resolution was submitted to
Chairman Hay, of the House military
affairs committee, authorizing the
president to draft members of the
state militia willing to take the fed
sral oath Immediately into the regu-
ar army. Chairman Hay will ask |
for immediate action on the resolu-
ion tomorrow.
The resolution given Chairman Hay |
would provide for service during |
period of emergency instead of a
period of war;" 1t also would au-
,horize the president to combine in
complete units, bring them to war |
strength and appoint officers.

CLASH AT CARRIZAL

FL Paso, June 22.-According to
various accounts reaching here, the
American losses seem to have been
about twenty and the Mexican losses
forty. The battle took place about
1880 o'clock yesterday morning and
lasted about an hour, and apparently
ended with both sides withdrawing.

The w. C. 7. U. Supper

During all this time adequate pre-
parations were being made to refresh
the inner man. All the afternoon
and evening the members of the w
c. I. U. had been preparing a tooth
some and substantial supper. Tables
were arranged in the form of cross
in the armory and fairly loaded down
with good things. The parade over
the soldiers were called into the
armory, and before beginning on the
feast were given few works of cheer
and appreciation by the ministers of
the city. Brief talks were made by
Revs. Gross, Herndon and Stephens,
and Mr.. Gross. invoked divine guid-
ance and protection for the young
soldiers.
Another pretty and inspiring cere-
nlony took place when seven of the
most charming members of Ocala's
budding young womanhood went
around among the boys and on the
breast of each pinned a dainty bou-
quet and white ribbon. It will not
be surprising if some of those rib
hons are treasured to Mexico and
return.
After Mr.. Herndon asked a bless
ing the supper was served.
Just as the boys were about to be-
gin on their supper, a telegram re-
ceived by the Star from Ell Paso was
read. 1t told of the attack of Mexi-
cans on Americans, the killing of
forty of our men and the capture of
seventeen. Be it said to the credit of
the boys that the news did not seem
to affect their ,appetites.
The armory was prettily decorated
for the occasion, the national colors
being grouped over the tables, and
flowers tastefully arranged. The
band was present, and played Dixie,
which brought a storm of cheers.
Then came, 40, Say Can You See by
the Dawn's Early Light" and all
heads were barred and the eyes of
those present involuntarily turned to-
ward the Flag.
A social commingling followed and
lasted until. the men had to begin to
make preparations for leaving. Ev-
seemed bright and cheerful,
tho some of the mothers present had
TO smile with Spartan courage thru
heir tears as their eyes followed with
fear mingled with pride every move
nent of their soldier sons.
At IL o'clock there was call, and
he soldiers began picking up their
guns and equipments and moving to-
ward the street. Soon they stood in
double line before the armory, await
ng the order to march, while their
friends waited with them.

]. e. Richards, president OF the George
B. Newton Coal Company, said today that
the backbone Of the strike being waged by
former drivers for shorter hours had been

shown in the fact that fifty drivers OF the

"It is untrue" said Mr.. Richards. that
the George B. Newton Coal Company is OPP
posed to unionism, but as long as the men

''The strike occurred he continued be

NEW YORK, oct 2s.-In less than two

United States will vote a thunderlne in
dorsement OF Woodrow Wilson and his Ad-
ministration. and will re-elect n Democratic
senate and House OF Representatives I
mention women, because in the states
where they enjoy suffrage my reports in
ulcate that a large majority of them have
joined with the men to roll up an unprec-
edented popular plurality for the PresI-
dent. They Will share the glory of the
victory for even in States wherein they
nave nave not the right OF suffrage we have
daily evidence OF the influence they WELD IN
sustaining the President
There has been much talk within ,hs
last ten days or two weeks about the
turning OF the tide toward Wilson" II is
my view that the so-called tide has been
running toward Wilson all the while, and
that what the people are pleased to de-
nominate the turning of the tide" is only
visible manifestation OF the strong under
current that has been moving wilsonward
ever since the 81, Louis convention.
TO be sure, there have been Developments
and disclosures that have tended 10 bring
this undercurrent to the surface but II is
my candid judgment that the result has
never been in doubt In saying this I do
not underestimate the value Of the work
tnat the friends and supporters of the Pres.
luent ana Democratic, Progressive and In.
dependent organizations have rendered In
this campaign and will be rendered up TO
TIE closing OF the polls on election day.

ator salisbury, OF Delaware, in charge of
the Democratic senatorial campaign and
representative Frank f. Doremus chairman
o. the Democratic congressional campaign
committee, have given me assurances that
convince me that the Democrats will make
substantial gains in the House and Senate.
The senatorial and congressional commit
tees have worked in close cooperation
with the national committee, and am per-
sonally familiar with the conditions on
which they predicate their optimistic re-
ports as to the complexion of the next
Congress.
have an abiding faith in the character
of the reports that have come to me
throughout the campaign.
I am confirmed in the judgment that the
President will sweep the country by a
popular plurality that will astonish his
carping critics and the destructive elements
composing the opposition.
The people are for Wilson because Will
son is for the people and stands for true
Americanism against the pussy-footing
attitude of his opponents.
