JOHN BOILER
FOUND GUILTY
IN LIQUOR CASE

John Boiler was arraigned in the
municipal court Wednesday morning
charged with the illegal possession of
Intoxicating liquors. He was repre-
scented by E. H. MaXcy, whose strong
plea in behalf Of his client was Of no
avail, Judge Atkins imposing fine Of
800 and costs or SO days in Jail. He
appealed and furnished bonds for his
appearance at the September term of
court.
The trial was a result of a search
made of the premises Of Boiler, on
Spruce street, made Tuesday by Depu-
ties Potter. Bucklin and Foster, and
the seizure of a suga" barrel filled with
pints and quarts Of whiskey and gin,
although the barrel was marked and
consigned as ale.
The three deputies and Charles
Blaisdell made the search and testified
as to the finding of three barrels of
empty bottles in the carriage house
and the presence of some in the house.
that contained a very small quantity
Of liquor. The barrel containing the
liquor was not at the house when the
deputies arrived but shortly before
they were ready to leave, was driven
into the yard by Boiler. On seeing the
deputies Boiler took French leave and
Deputy Potter ordered Mr.. Blaisdell to
drive the cart and contents to the sta
top house, which was done, Boiler
calling later for the team and was ap.
pretended.
Boiler told the court story, the
gist of which was that on Tuesday as
he was driving along Water street he
was accosted by man, whom he did
not know, and asked to go to the NJ. G..
r. r. freight house and get a barrel
Of ale for which he was given an or
der. This he did and paid a freight
charge Of So cents. When questioned
as to the whereabouts of the order
Boiler claimed that he took it from
the freight house an when he started
to smoke found that he had only the
stub of match and in order that he
might not loose his smoke, twisted up
the order and lighting it with the
match stub. used it to light his pipe.
Attorney Maxcy made a strong plea
for the defendant but Judge Atkins
ruled that, although the liquor might
not have been intended for sale by
Boiler, it was evident that it was in
tended for illegal sale by someone and
hence found the defendant guilty and
imposed the above mentioned fine.

READY TO ATTACK
AMERICAN TROOPS
Private Advices from Mexico City Indicate That
Carranza and His Advisers Have Determined to
Stand by Orders to Fire on U. S. Troops Unless
They Move North

WASHINGTON, June 30 Private ad-
vices reaching Washington from reliable
source in Mexico City today said General
Carranza and his advisers had determined
to stand 10y orders to General Trcvino to
attack American troops in Mexico moving
lin any direction except toward the bor-
der and that no way was seen to avoid
a break with the United States
\ section of the Mexican cabinet it was
said wanted Il more defiant attitude to in
clude in the reply to the American request
for a statement Of intentions new de
mand for the immediate withdrawal of all
United States troops now on Mexican
soil.
When President Wilson met with his
cabinet today just before leaving for New
York to deliver an address the unfavorable
private reports had not reached him and
there were virtually no new developments
in the Mexican crisis to be considered.
Military preparations are being rushed
TO completion, however, but diplomats say
there is nothing to be done until the Car
rama reply is received or it becomes more
apparent that he will not respond within
a reasonable time.
Elseo Arrcdondo, the Mexican ambas-
sador designate, called on Mr. Lansing
early in the day and during the visit Mr.
Lansing took occasion to make it plain
that the Washington government expect
ed an early reply to it's note forwarded to
Mexico City last Sunday. The ambassador
was impressed with the fact that the state
department was growing impatient at the
delay.
The release of the captured troop.
has delayed military action, but ha,
not relieved the diplomatic situation
now existing. Should the Mexican re
ply follow the line indicated and bt
in defiance of the United States, how
ever its meaning might be wrappe,
about with diplomatic language, ther,
is no indication that the administra
tion would waver in its determination
to continue the protection of the Dor
der by military operations. President
Wilson probably would arrange to la,
the whole matter before congress i'm
mediately. Sufficient troops to nee
any development are expected to b.
available along the border within
few hours. In this connection it wa
learned today that war department le
gal experts construe the resolution
adopted by congress and sent to tn
White House yesterday as granting au
thority to draft every member of tn
national guard into the federal servic
whenever the President shall decid
the step is necessary. This draft,
was said, would apply to all guard.
