BRIDWELL LEAVES CITY;
NO MEETING HELD HERE ON
STRIKE. SAYS KNIGHT

j. W. Bridwell, federal conciliator,
who has been spending several days
in this section endeavoring to settle
the differences between phosphate
miners and operators, left last night,
but for what point was not known at
the hotel. The only information OBJ
tainabIe there was that he had check
ed it on one of the evening trains
yesterday. Mr.. Bridwell when asked
for a statement Tuesday, said he had
nothing to give out at that time.
The report was started yesterday
that meeting between Mr.. Bridwell
and representatives of phosphate
mines and of labor unions or en-
ployes was held yesterday morning
in the office of Peter o. knight In
this city, and that substantial prog
ress was made at that meeting to-
wards settling the difficulties. Mr. :.
Knight denied that such meeting
had been held in his Office. He said;
"There is no truth in that report
There has been no meeting in my Of
fee, nor have I participated in such
a conference. Moreover | am leaving
in few days for New York on bust
ness and don't know when I'll get

BARRIER ALONG MEXICO
BORDER BUILT BY U. s.
Army Spending 100000 to Erect
"outpost Stations"

Washington, June 5.-Uncle Sam
is building giant fence along the
Mexican border!
It's 1900 miles long, and while its
posts are OF wood and other building
materials, its rails will be American
soldiers.
The huge barrier isn't fence In
the real sense of the word, though It's
purpose Is the same.
It's double row of cavalry patrol
stations, barracks buildings and mis-
cellaneous structures. stretching from
Brownsville, Tex. on the Gulf OF
Mexico, to Arivaga, Ariz., on the edge
of the great desert.
At each of the so outpost stations
one troop of cavalry-about 100 men
will be on guard all the time, pa
trolling the border between stations
Some distance back from these pa
troll stations will be another series Oh

the Mexicans. These II posts VIII

as base for four or five Of the patroi
stations on the boundary. The COM

The whole project will cost the war

DODGE MARRIAGE LAWS
BY WEDDING ON BRIDGE

st. Louis, Mo, June 3.-Because
they could not use a Missouri mar
riage license in Illinois, Mrs. Beulah
Hill and E. J. Nixon, both Of Port
land, Ore, were married in an auto
mobile on the free bridge inside the
state of Missouri.
The couple had been visiting
friends in East st. Louis, ILL.,, and had
gone to st. Louis, Mo-, for marriage
license and returned to have the cere-
mony performed.
The Rev. ]. NJ. Pepper who had
been summoned, informed them their
license was not good in Illinois.
After some thought it was decided
that the ceremony could be perform
ed Just over the state line and the
free bridge was selected.

OFFICERS GETTING EDUCATION
BY SEEING THE SIGHTS
(By Associated Press.)

London, June 5.-Two thousand
young American military officers, who
have been detached from their COM
mands in order that they may attend
lectures in the leading universities
of the British Isles, are broadening
their knowledge by seeing some OF
the countless points of interest with
which the country abounds.
London is their favorite hunting
ground. Westminster Abbey ST..
Paul's Cathedral, the Houses of Par
lament, the Tower and Buckingham
Palace early claimed their attention.
They then turned to the haunts OF
Dickens, Johnson and others whom
they looked upon as old friends.
Now that spring has come they are
extending their search to the London
suburbs and to other parts Of the
country.
Yesterday numbers of the student
officers sought such places as Hamp
ton Court and Kew Gardens, famous
the world over for their varied and
beautiful foliage. Many Of them are
engineers, and with thrifty thought
for the future slung their cameras
over their shoulders and prepared to
preserve for future reference such
bits of landscape gardening as caught
their individual fancies. But in this
they were disappointed, for the an
cient but polite guardian at the Kew
gate temporarily collected the cam
eras and told them Sunday photog.
raphy was forbidden in Kew.

treatment. The start is usually made
from the busy Euston station Satur'
day afternoon. and Tuesday night
usually finds them back in the city
ready for work.
A dozen or more of them spent q
recent Sunday at Killarney and, de
string to go through the Gap of Dur
Low, arranged with their landlord
for donkeys for $125 each for the jour
new of six Irish miles. When they
reached the Gap they were hailed

The trolly wire broke, and sparks

Identification of the bodies is almost
impossible, many are charred beyond

That seems to be the attitude Of the

soldiers on the border-all cavalry

they denied the privilege of going to
the front and getting crack at the

few comforts and many hardships.

has spent almost his entire military
career on the border. He Is typical
of most of the other officers.
