NEW YORK, May 20.-Food today
joined with clothing and other COM
modities in the downward sweep of
prices. Although the slump in food
prices was not general and was re-
ported mainly from Southern points,
the leading wholesale grocers through
out The Northern cities as we'll as
government officials at Washington
today predicted that food quotations
would soon be lowered throughout the
nation.
Tie prognosticators based their
forecasts on the present tightness of
the money market and general econ
onic conditions. 1t is predicted by
those in close touch with the situa-
ticn that the contraction of credit
Will force on the market large quanti-
ties of goods which are being held by
spectators, thus causing a flood of
sales throughout the nation.
The stock market continued to drop
today due to the Tightening of the
money situation. United States Steel,
which is always regarded as an in
dicator vas off twenty points fran
the high record of the year.
Another important factor in the
slump of prices was the falling off
IN exports. The Department of Com
merce announced today that exports
from the United States were $685.
QOO,O0G less in April than in March.
This is due to the fact that Eurone
is getting back to pre-war basis
economically, and will no longer need
such large amounts of American pro-
ducts.

many wounded, the town was quiet,
following last nights battle between
the miners and operatives of the
Baldwin Felts detective agency, when
he first detachment of the state
Dolice arrived.
The dead include seven members of
the detectives .and Mayor Cabell
Testeman, who was the first man
killed, and whose death at the hands
of one of the detectives precipitated
the battle.
A great deal Of feeling had been
caused during the day by the eviction
of a number of miners from their

Stone Mountain Mining Co., and when
the mayor was killed the miners and
citizens were quick to take revenge

COUNCIL MEETING

An adjourned meeting of the city
council was due to have been held
last evening, but the fact that three
OF the council members are out of the
city and W. G. Bowman failed to
show up rendered it out of the ques-
ton as there was not a quorum pre-

There are a number of very I'M

the council, and it is therefore prob
able that another meeting will be
called before the end of the month.

CHEAPER GOODS FOR NoGALEs


That the price cutting wave will hit
Nogales in short time, was the con.
tldent prediction of some of the mer.
chants in the city yesterday. In fact
they pointed to the already existing
cut price sales now being conducted
by two of the largest department
stores in the city, and the further
TACT that the windows of several 9TH
er stores are now filled with shoes
and clothing bearing bargain price
tag cards.
1t was said that the stores which
are carrying large stocks of goods for
which they have been earned by the
banks in the past would very likely
be the first to feel the necessity of
realizing quick money to meet the de-
mands of the banks. This applies
especially to the higher priced goods
on which there was a much larger
margin of profit than ON the. medium
pined articles.
The Oasis" was unable vester,I.v
to find any indication that Nogales Is
likely in the immediate future to see
much OF reduction in the prices IF
groceries, although. wholesalers said
'that general reductions throughout
The country could not help being felt
IN this city sooner or later.

MEXICO CITY, May 20-It was of
fic.ally announced here today that re-
volutionary forces are in close pur-
suit of former President Carranza
and his dwindling party of refugees
into the Tuebla mountains.
The revolutionary leaders believe
that the capture of the aged presi-
den and his leaders is now only a
matter of time. as they are shut off
from every avenue of escape. All the
gulf ports are now in the hands of the
revolutionists aS are the border ports
along the Mcxico-United States
boundary.
Opinion here is divided as to what
will be done with Carranza after he
is captured. Some of the leaders are
in favor of giving him passports and
helping him to leave the country as
quickly as possible, believing ap-
parent'y that such course would
strengthen their cause and show to
the world that the revolution is being
carried out on humanitarian lines.
Others are strongly in favor of brings
ing him and General Murgia back to
the capital to stand trial for the
wholesale execution of political pris-
oners before they left the city, and
also to recover some of the millions
of the governments money which it
is believed that the former president
appropriated to his own use.

ELKS BENEFIT DANG
WAS BIG SUCCESSES

The benefit dance given by the Elks
last night for the benefit of the Saliva
ton Army drive was even more of a
success than its promoters had hoped
for.
On account Of the shower last eve
nlng the dance had to be transferred
from the open air pavilion at the
Montezuma Hotel to the Santa Crup
Club dance hall, and thither the crowd
trooped enmasse, where they tripped
the light fantistic until well past mid
night.
The refreshment booth was the
source of considerable income, and in
carrying out this affair the Elks have
lived up to their reputation as enter
tanners and boosters for worthy
charity.

MARCUS A. wUERsCHMIDT
Why he should be elected
Alderman

DR.. Marus A. Wuerschmidt
: was born in Sioux Falls, South
Dakota, and came to the South
west seventeen years ago.
AS a boy of fourteen he en-
tered the employ of an optical
concern and in less than nine
years became it's vice-president.
He has travelled extensively,
visiting all the principal cities
in the United States and Mex
leo and knows border problems
and conditions thoroughly.
At the outbreak of the war
with Germany, being prevented
from entering the army on ac-
count of physical disability, he
was requested as president and
general manager of large
optical manufacturing company
in Ell Paso to manufacture
optical glasses for the troops,
which he did, working almost
day and night in this service
until the signing Of the Armis-
tice.
While leading this optical
factory he successfully designed
and perfected a training google
for troops, which was used in
large quantities at the various
cantonements in night training
of soldiers.
Since coming to Nogales he
has assisted in organizing the
Young Business Mems Associa-
tion, and it was he who insisted
from the very beginning that it
be open for membership to all
Nogales. He proved the sound
ness of this theory by personal
ly securing over 200 new mem
bers.
He never hesitates to give his
time or assist in any other
manner any worthy civic OF
charitable enterprise, and hav-
ing made Nogales his home his
one ambition is to assist in the
building of the city along pro-
glessive lines. He has bought
g. nome in the city as we'll as
other real estate, and wants to
help make this city an ideal
place in which to rear his fa-
mily.
DR.. Wuerschmidt owns and
operates THE ARIZONA OP-
TICAL COMPANY, Of Nogales
and Bisbe. He has made a host
Of friends in the city through
his unselfish interest in public
affairs and his skill in his pro-
fession, of which he is one of
the leaders.
II elected, he will serve the
immunity well a.l I Il. s.::thfully.

PRESIDENT is preparing a strong mess
age to the Republican congress, in

Should the Soldier Bonus Bill be
