new WAREHOUSE
TO Be BUILT ON
BALL PARK site

AS soon as the remainder of the
brick can be obtained, which is ex-
pected to be very shortly, C. H. Burke
and W m. Humber, proprietors of
the Commercial warehouse will be-
gin the erection of new compart-
ment warehouse on the site of the old
baseball park on Hampton street. A
part of the material is already on the
ground and the other has been Or
dered and is only awaiting delivery.
The warehouse IS to be 1O0X100
feet, in two compartments and will
have capacity of 1900 to 1000
bales. 1t will be so constructed that
other compartments can easily be
added, maintaining the symmetry o.
the building A sprinkler system will
be installed to reduce fire risk.
Accordingto Mr.. Burke the ware
house is being built to take care of
the cotton now being handled each
season, which is far greater than
the capacity of the Commercial ware
house. During the past season 1000
bales have been handled by this firm
resulting in various places of storage
having to be rented and some cot
ton remain out in the open all sea-
son. The new warehouse will take
care of the firms present needs, he
says.
A permit for construction of the
warehouse has been granted by the
city.

GOVERNOR DENOUNCES
MOVE AS HYPOCRISY.

COLUMBUS, o., June 21.-(By
Associated Press with references
to the situation affecting the Willard
Dempsey contest, Governor Cox to-
day made the following statement:
''The propaganda begun short
time ago under political auspices is
based upon such a deliberate attempt
to deceive the public thai it would
seem proper for me to give the facts.
Under the laws of this state and
their Interpretation by the courts,
boxing contests are legaiiaed under
direction of local municipal autnori-
ties.
Boxing contests are conducted in
at least dozen of our largest cities.
If the law is changed, giving me the
right of interference, it will be ex-
ercised, but / shall not meet hypoc-
risy with usurpation of power"

Watchful Waiting Gives

Little Faith In Report
That Bandit Has End
ed Offensive

WASHINGTON, June 21.-(By
Associated Press. Recent develop
ments along the southern border an6
within Mexico itself, it was Iearne
officially today have brought radi-
cial change in the attitude of this
government toward Mexico. 1t can be
stated on positive authority that
"watchful waiting" has been discard
ed for "watchful preparedness"
The War Department has perfect
plans to throw punitive expedition
of adequate strength across the Rio
Grande the moment official word is
received of reprisals on the part of
Villa for the Juarez incident, or in
case of other contingencies tending
to bring the Mexican situation to a
stage approaching the crisis last Sun
day.
Orders for the advance of this COL
umn, however, it was said, would be
accompanied by instructions for the
military occupation of territory nee
essary to insure safety of the expedi-
tion and absolute protection of the
border through the creation of neu~
tral zone south of the line. Further
movement of the expedition would
depend entirely upon subsequent de-
velopments.
Villa Not Through.
Military observers here place little
credence in the reports that Villa
has abandoned his offensive to the
north. Economic, as we'll as military
necessity, it was pointed out, call for
the elimination of the Carranza gar
risons now stationed on the flanks
of the territory Villa now controls
and for possession of the principal
frontier entry port which would give
the rebel chieftain fresh sinews of
war in the shape of custom duties
and equipment.
Although three federal generals
now are operating against Villa in
Northern Mexico confidential reports
to the War Department are not op-
timistic regarding the success of the
Carranzista campaign there, while
the withdrawal of badly needed
troops from the south, it is expected,
will be followed by fresh incursions
of the Enthusiastically at the very
gates of the capital. The Carranza
military establishment. according to
official reports filed here, actually
includes less than forty per cent of
its proper strength of 100, 900 and
its military value is decreased BY the
doubtful loyalty of some high Off
cials and the fact tha1 hundreds Of
recruits were forcibly conscripteI.
Angeles Able Leader.
Of the rebel factions, of which
there is said to be seven opposing
Carranza, Villa was reported to be
the strongest. Angeles is character
lied in official circles here as 'sun-
doubtedly the most skillful military
leader south of the Rio Grande."
The Villistas are conservatively e.
timated to number ten thousar
equipped with fairly modern arms,
including cannon Vp to 105 MILNE
