UNEASY OVER
AMERICAN
FUSS IN MEXICO
[RepubIicaa A. p. Leased Wirel

Ell PASO, Tex, June 11.-Uneasi-
ness as to the results of the anti
American agitation in Chihuahua was
manifest in almost every quarter here
and in Juarez tonight Especial enX-
iety was expressed for the dozen
Americans remaining in Chihuahua
City, where a mass meeting of all
male natives was scheduled to De held
today, ostensibly to protest against
the American troops remaining in
Mexico number of American refu-
gees arriving from Chihuahua City
today said that they were hooted by
MeXicans at almost every station on
the way to the border. but no violence
was attempted.
Apparently communications from
the interior over the Mexican tele-
graph lines have been more closely
censored in the last few days than
| for some weeks, only military dis
/ patches and a few meagre obviously
| censored press messages being re-
ceived in Juarez today. None of these
made any mention of the scheduled
| demcnshN ton, but persons familiar
with conditions in the city expressed
a belief that crisis would be
| reached at the meeting.
Supporting this belief was story
brought to the border by Mrs. Angus
tine Labansat wife of the CarranZa
commander at San Luis Potosi, who
asserted that General Jacinto Trevi-
no. commander at Chihuahua City had
said that while he had the masses OF
the people well under control then
their temper was such that the time
seemed approaching when he could
no longer guarantee adequate protec.

"On the night of June ga, and the

Long Commission Co. Grain Letter.

403 Main. Telephone 1901
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.--Wheat-On a
sharp advance in wheat this morning,
heavy realizing checked the advance
and caused reaction to about one
cent above last nights close. The
early advance was due to repeated
bullish crop reports both from the
American and Canadian northwest
and Winnipeg advance. Liverpool
prices were sharply higher, and furth-
er export business was reported. To-
day the decline is entirely natural,
but the situation remains as bullish as
ever and appears to warrant pur-
chases on good setbacks.
Corn-Reports Of scattered rains
over Iowa checked an early advance
in corn which, at midday, was holding
a moderate advance over last nights
close. Cash corn followed the early
advance and was in fair demand at
prices " to / cent higher. Shippers
report that there Is demand for old
corn at prevailing prices. Rains so
far have been scattered and local and
unless the entire corn belt receives
rains soon, higher prices will follow.
Oats-Confirmation of damage to
oats in the northwest, and strength
in other grains, brought buying OF
oats. Cash interests were the best
sellers on the bulge, and their selling
was credited to hedging against buy
ing from the country.

danger to the little ones, I say be
warned of it and be careful. The
truth now appears to be there is no
such case in town. We hope it may
not come at all, but if 1t does come

it and thus perhaps help to spread it,

Free Papers Being Cut Off
Publishers Generally Are Disseminating

with every other newspaper in the
United States, is up against the most
serious situation in its history, on ac-
count of the greatly increased cast of
print paper. There is a paper famine,
caused partly by the war, which Is
getting worse instead of better.
The Times has been compelled to
pay, beginning with June 18th. an in
crease of $500 per ton over our old
price. And when you understand that
we use from 100 to 125 tons per
month, you will see that our in
creased expense is now almost $1,000
per month, and this price is only
good until January first, which means
that undoubtedly after this date it
will go higher.
In the past the Times has been
liberal with free papers AMI you have
been enjoying this privilege for some
time, but in order to make up this
greatly increased expense I nave de-
cided that we must place our entire
free list on paid basis, beginning
August first, which is being done by
newspapers generally. Every free
paper will be placed on paid basis
or stopped. Every employs will pay

ANALYSIS MADE
OF KEG SAMPLES
Police States That Two of Eight
Half Barrels Taken in Raid,
Contain Alcohol.

An analysis Of samples from the
eight half kegs taken by the police
in last nights raids were made today
by a local chemist and turned over
10 the police this afternoon. Chief
Of Police Hennemann states that the
analysis shows that two Of the six
kegs taken, contained alcoholic bev-
erages. These two, the chief states,
were taken from the place of Hugh
Brennan, South Water street.
Three half kegs were taken from
Brennan's place by the police. Two,
of which one was labeled Presto,
were on tap. The one not marked
Presto and another in the building
were found to contain alcoholic bev-
eraees, the authorities state. The
matter is being taken up with Coun-
ty Attorney McManus before action
is taken.

LACK OF WATER
IN RAND PARK
Various Civic Bodies Receive Com
plants That There Is None
Available There.

Picnic parties and automobile par
ties at Rand park are clamoring for
water, according to complaints re-
ceived by officers Of the Civic league
and other civic bodies throughout the
city, There seems to be lack OF
this very necessary fluid, due to the
fact that the Birge fountain which
was wrecked by vandals this spring,
has not been repaired. There is prac-
tically no water to be secured from
this source, it is said by those max
ing the complaint, and water in any
other part of the park is not obtain
able. Inasmuch as Rand park is a
very popular picnicing ground, and
the mecca for auto parties, it is felt
that the commissioner in charge of
the park should take some steps to
provide water.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The enor-
nous increase in the cost of print
paper since the beginning of the war
has created situation that is rapidly
becoming very serious one for the
publishers. The price of white paper
is going up by leaps and bounds.
Publishers formerly paying $4,000 a
car are now paying from S1,400.00 to
$1,600.00 car. about 100 percent in-
crease. Something must he done and
the first step was to reduce the mum.
Der of pages wherever possible, and
if your favorite paper seems smaller
than usual, remember it is only doing
what it is forced to do and just what
all other papers are doing all over
the United States. The Des Motnes,
Davenport, Sioux City and the other
large dailies are sending out letters
to agents and friends explaining the
situation, and are cutting off every
possible paper not bringing an actual
cash return. While The Hawk Eye
has one of the cleanest lists in the
west, still every paper has a fen
favored friends and even these are
now being placed on the paid" Est.
If you have received The Hawk Eye
in the past for some service and do
not receive it from now on, you will
understand that like other publishers
The Hawk-Eye company has had to
economic at every point to meet this
greatly increased expense in ma
terial. The following extracts from
letter sent out by the Davenport
Times explains the situation clearly:

Daily Stock Letter.

OdIiy StOCN 6CttSIs
NEW YORK. Aug. 3.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Total operations in the greater
number of issues in which sales were
reported were extremely light, while
in the best part of the day price
movements were within narrow limits
except in a few stocks which were
affected by considerations with a
special bearing upon the companies
represented.
Transactions Of the professional
element provided the bulk of thu
business. To some extent the early
strength in the cotton and wheat mar
lkets served to restrain speculative
business in securities fer the good
reason that the advances in the two
commodities were based upon reports
showing serious injury to the growing
crops from adverse climatic condi.
tions.
Covering was reported in the
motors and quiet demand was noted
for United States Steel and some OF
the rails, with Reading end Union
Pacific prominent.
Selling of the sugar shares to
lower levels, accompanied the fore
noon dealings, substantial losses
being made by American beet sugar
and Cuba cane, the movement in the
latter having EARN arks of liquidation
General trading was exceedingly
dull in the early afternoon and price
movements were cratic with only
fractional changes in most parts OF
the list.
At times trading came almost to a
standstill with the little business
transacted confined to few issues,
including Texas company shares,
which were decidedly weak on pres
sure from the bears against known
weak accounts.
