SAYS MEXICO MUST
 PUNISH MURDERERS.
Republican A.P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, July l. Urgent representations havebeen made to the Mexican government for the punish ment of those responsible for the mur- der of John W. Carroll, an American citizen, the maltreatment of his wife and the attempted murder of his son, at their ranch near Colonia, 2 miles north of Tampico, the state depart ment announced today. Instructions have been sent both to the American embassy at Mexico City and the American consulate at Tampico to urge immediate capture and punish ment of the perpetrators of the out rage and protection for other Ameri- cans in the district.
 SIX days after the attack on Cor rall, the paymaster of the Gulf Refln- E ing company, an American concern, was robbed of s15,000 gold which he was taking to the oil fields from Tampico. The paymaster, it was learned, had notified the Mexican au- thorities at Tampico, as required by law, the date and time of his departure, the amount of money he was to take and the route he would use in reach ing the oil fields. The territory through which he passed is entirely controlled by Carranza forces.
 Other reports to the state depart ment today said on the day following the payroll robbery, soldiers wearing Carranza military uniforms raided the camp of the. National Oil company in the Panuco field, near Tampico, and robbed all the employees of their money. watches and jewelry.
 State department officials were plainly anxious today over the new turn in the Mexican situation follow ing a long list of favors granted the Carranza government, including the turning over to Carranza, at his re- 1 quest, a complete telegraph circuit from Laredo, Texas, to Juarez, and to Nogales, Arizona. This enabled the authorities in Mexico City to keep in touch with the federal military com manders in the northern part of Mex lco as the Villistas had cut the line between Chihuahua and Juarez.

THE PURPLE MARTIN

This is story that Milford Waddell, one of our little friends, sends us from Edgerton, Kansas. I am sure you will be interested in what he tells us he has observed about the martins and about his birdhouse.
 The male of the martin family in color is bluish black; the female is dull black and grayish: in length they are about. seven and three-fourths inches. They originally built in hol low trees, logs and stumps, but since man has originated the birdhouse for them, like the house he lives in him. self, they seem to prefer the birdhouse. But some still live in hollow trees, barns and houses.
 My birdhouse is an apartment house, large enough for four families. The sparrows are very troublesome and are always trying to whip the martins out.
 The martins are not lovers of fine structures, but will build in a com

 The bird is very fond of insects, So we know they are a friend of the farmer.
 The martin lays five white eggs; the nest is made out of straw, leaves, paper and rags.
 It is not such a fine singer, but it's song is more of a twitter or warble. It ranges from the Gulf to New Brunswick and winters ill North and South America.

FIRST PRINCIPALS
 IN FORD SUIT ARE
 ON WITNESS STAND

MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich. July l. After weeks of the Ford Chicago Trib- une libel suit the first principal in the case to take the stand formally ap- peared today in the person of Cap tain Joseph Medin Patterson, who, with his cousin, Colonel R. R. Me Cormick, is a defendant.
 In effect, Captain Patterson stated that the Tribune and President Will son had always differed on the Mexi- can problem and still differ.
 In 1911 at the climax of the Madero revolution, he testified his paper be- lieved the Mexicans could solve their own problems. By 1914, however, this opinion underwent change by reason of the continued disorder, and disor- ganiZation south of the Rio Grande and the editors became convinced that only armed intervention such as that employed in Cuba could bring order out of the chaos. The editors believed such action would be to the interests of the United States and Mexico alike.
 Would Please Germans
 And you thought that it would please Germany to have the United States occupied with Mexico?" asked Attorney Lucking.
 Yes, I think so.'
 The witness would not confess pro- Germanism, although often pressed by his inquisitor.
 Well, you were not pro ally" in sisted MT Lucking
 Well it might be said that we were not pro- British" replied Captain Pat terson, slowly.
 q had seen too much of war to care to see the United States rush into it, 9 said the witness.
 We wanted to keep out of war, but also to start preparations for it, said Captain Patterson.
 Intervention Had Virtue
 We advocated compulsory military training for all' He said that not the least of the virtues which he saw in Mexican intervention was that it would compel building of an army.
 The witness said he did not see the editorial headed: Ford is an Anar- chist" on which the suit is based, be- fore it went into the paper. He was a national guardsman and had gone to Springfield following the mobilization of the guard for service on the bor- der.

Iowa Architects to
Furnish Plans for New
Junior High School

After prolonging the session until
midnight the Board of Education
of Council Bluffs Friday night
made the selection of the architect
to plan the new junior high school
building. Proudfoot, Bird & Raw
son, Des MONIES firm, will do the
work. The compensation will be
5 per cent of the total cost of the
building, and as the building is ex-
pected to cost about $240,000, the
Des Moines firm will get a fee of
approximately $4,000. When Mr..
Proudfoot presented the application
of his company to the board at the
meeting last Monday night he
named s per cent as the amount
required to plan the building and
superintend its construction. After
many architects had offered to do
the work for less the Des Moines
men dropped a notch.
1t took several ballots to reach
decision, many of the board men,
bers favoring w. F. Gernandt,
Omaha architect, and others favor
ing ]. Chris Jensen, Council Bluffs
man. The argument that the board
should not go outside of Iowa to
get an architect was a strong factor
in favor of the Des Moines firm.
They will be asked to meet the
board at the regular meeting two
weeks hence.

Leadville Walkout
Results in Flooding
Mines in District

Leadville, Colo, April 1o-Flood-
ing of the Mikado mine, one of the
principal properties in the Leadville
district, has been begun in anticipa-
ton of the walkout tomorrow of 900
metal miners, engineers and pump
men in the Leadville district as
protest against wage reduction of
81 day recently announced by the
operators.
This was announced tonight by
George A. Argall, general manager
of the Mikado mine. who said that
the water is rising and that as the
pumps have been removed in prep
aration for the walkout there is no
means of stopping the thrush of
water until all the productive work
ings of the region drained through
the Mikado are flooded and the over
flow pours into the downtown basin.
"In spite of all we could do to
provide solution for bad situa-
tion," Mr.. .Argall said, including an
offer to pay wage scale identical
with that now in effect in the min
ing districts of Utah and Idaha, our
employees to a man expressed their
intention of walking out Sunday.
We could not allow the men to walk
off the job and leave $4,000 worth
of pumping equipment at the bottom
of the shaft to be submerged and
ruined"
Mining engineers say that if the
Iron Hill basin, drained through the
Mikado, is once permitted to flood,
the present generation probably
will not see it unwatered again

Briton Aims to "Hop Off"
Today on Atlantic Flight

ST. Johns, N. F., April 19.-Capt.
Frederick P. Raynham, British av-
iator competing with Harry G. Haw-
ker, Australian, for the $4,000 prize
offered by the London Daily Mail
for the first flyer to cross the At
lantic, announced today that he
would make every effort to "hop
off" tomorrow, As he had laid a
wager that he would be in England
Easter Monday.
Raynham said this announcement
was intended as an aside and not for
his rivals car. Both airmen have
been keeping strict watch on one
another to prevent the success of
any attempt at secret get away"
The Britisher consulted meterolo-
gists frequently this afternoon, but
without receiving great encourage
ment.
Cross winds reported in the At

storm-breeding possibilities.
Falls Into Irish Sea.
London, April 1o.-(By The -Asso-
ciated Press THE first attempt at
a transatlantic flight westward
came to grief last night in its first
stage. Maj. J. c. P. Wood and Capt.
c. c. Wylie, his navigator, had al
most reached the Irish coast off
Holy Head in a flight from East
Church for Limerick, when engine
trouble brought the Shamrock"
nose foremost into the sea, three
miles from Holy Head. Both men
were rescued while Lancaster Par
ker, flying in an escorting machine,
had a narrow escape on landing, his
plane smashing against shore wall.
Major Wood has sent the follow
ing message to the Weekly Dis
patch:
Il was obliged to descend II miles
from land. I am still competitor
and hope to be ready to start early
in May"
The air ministrys night bulletin
says that weather conditions along
the Atlantic course are decidedly
favorably at present for flight
from west to east. The surface
winds are much lighter now over
the whole route. They are accom-
panied by fog, and perhaps rain or
snow, but it is declared, if it is
possible to leave the airdrome, con-
d;tions are exceptionally favorable
for flight and for alighting in this
country.

Modest About Achievement.
Aero club officials, after an ex-
animation of their records, said that
Captain White probably was en-
titled to claim the record of having
made the worlds longest nonstop
fight. Several other claims for the
record for continuous flights are on
file with the club, however. which,
if granted, would take this honor
from Captain White. 49,
Captain White declined to discuss
his fight in detail when he landed
and army officers did not press him
to talk because he was obviously
tired out by his long trip. Captain
White laughingly protested, how
ever, that he felt no more tired than
he would have felt had he ridden
three hours in an automobile
In discussing the suggestion that
his trip probably would set a nom
stop record, Captain White declared
he did not consider his achievement
remarkable, asserting he believed
that the flight of Maj. Theodore C.
McCauley from Tucson, Ariz., to
Saltwater, Tex, made several days
ago, over an 8S0-mile course, prob
ably would set the record,
