He cited statistics to show that the consumption of gas in this city is far below that of other cities ius size. Attorney Bond for the city denied this allegation. "There is not a word of truUi in the assertion." he retorted He wanted to know how long Wyer had been in Richmond to learn these facts. Wyer said he had been here ten ' or fifteen days in the last two years. "You have a bunch of demagogues in that city," he exclaimed, "and the company is not given a show." He declared the municipal plant was ! run tor political purposes.

FIRST BORDER RAID WILL BRING ARMY INTO ACTION AGAINST MEXICO

WASHINGTON, June 20. There is no disguising the fact that the nation is preparing for war. Hardly a single official entertains' the slightest hope that Carranza and his followers will accept the viewpoint of the United States. And the first shot that now is fired by Carranzista soldiers at an American soldier, or the first organBRANNIGAN IN RING NINETEEN YEARS PATSY BRANNGAN It is popularly presumed that among the present day boxers, "Old Jim" Flynn, the fighting fireman of Pueblo, holds the record for years of service w'ithin the ropes. This is all wrong. I The record is held by Patsy Brannigan, the little-red-haired battling ban- j liui weigm. oi r-iusDurg. He is tne "Grand Old Man" of the game. Brannigan is beginning his nineteenth annual campaign. Reference to the record books shows that he is now twenty-eigh-t years old and that he began his ' career in 1904, when he was sixteen. But if he was put under oath he would asknowledge that he Is going on thirty-one and engaged in his first i bout at the age of thirteen. .

MILITIA 10 MOVE TOWARD FRONTIER

' WASHINGTON. June 20. Certain militia units will be on their way to I the Mexican border with in forty-eight hours. The war department this afternoon admitted the raceipt of a requisition for certain of the national ! guards forces now being mobilized j from General Funston. Secretary of War Baker declined to sav how manv men have been asked for. FISH SCALES EASILY REMOVED ized raid across the border permitted by the Carranz-istas will be the sienal for immediate reprisals by this government, officials say. The reply of this government to the Carrahza demand of May 22. that the United States withdraw its troops j from Mexican soil will be before Car- j ranza some time today. Officials say that it must precipitate the long-expected crisis. They no longer construe the belligerent utterances of General Carranza and General Obregon as for "home consumption." Their open threats are believed to indicate their planned course of action. And it is made very plain here that if the hand of th United States is forced by an attack from Carranzista soldiers those responsible will be pursued no matter where they may retreat. Administration officials made it plain today that they will differentiate between Carranza and his followers and the Mexican people should inter- , vention be forced. It is understood to : be the plan to strike sharply and de-: cisively if it shall be demonstrated, as is generally feared, that force must be Ubcd against the Carranza troops and then the United States will establish ; a government under its own protec-: tion which can be depended on to re- j new constitutional rule in every wa. ARKANSAS LIQUOR MEASURE IS UPHELD LITTLE ROCK, Ark.. June 20 The Arkansas supreme. court, for the second time has sustained the validity of the state-wide prohibition act. The ' case was that of Charles Miller, of Lafayette county, who was convicted of selling liquor and sentenced to serve one year in the "penitentiary, the only penally permissible under the law. The appeal alleged that the prohibition law is unconstitutional because it denies to the court the right to suspend sentence after conviction. The supreme court yesterday held that the legislature had the right in enact such a law because there is no provision in the .state Constitution forbidding such legislation. : EIGHT ITALIAN SHIPS SUNK. LONDON. June 20 Three Italian ' steamers and five Italian sailing ships j have been sunk.

The;. sailing vessels were the Francesco Padre, Era, Antonio V". Arnetta and Adelia.

MEN EAGER TO JOIN

VALPARAISO. Ind.. June 20. Although the official order had not been received here early today calling Company L into service. Lieutenant L. W. Thralls, in the absence of Captain Heineman from the city, was in command at the armory, making arrangements for mobilizing the company. All the men are eager for the official order, he said, and within twenty-four hours after its receipt can be on the way to Ft. Benjamin Harrison. The company will be recruited to 100 men. Forty applications for enlistment with Company L had been received by 2 o'clock, and the full war strength of 150 men was expected by night. MEXICANS REPORTED MASSING AT DEL RIO SAN ANTONIO. Tex . June 20 Interest in the border situation today centered on Del Rio, directly west of here on the Rie Grande, where it was reported that 1.500 Mexicans and Yaqui Indians were approaching the city from the south. Reports from the advance were brought to Del Rio by Mexicans and transmitted to General Funston by Colonel Sibley, commanding at that place. General Greene, commanding the Eagle Pass patrol district, sent a bat- ; talion of the Third infantry, on motor j trucks, to Del Rio. immediately on 1 receipt of the information. Sibley's i command is of fair strength, and. with the reinforcements at hand, he should be able to defend the city against the Mexicans and Yaquis in case they were attacked, according to General Funston. The presence of the Yaquis so near the border is taken as confirmation of the recent report that the governor of Coahuila had sent- a band of the Indians north to attack Del Rio. Apparently the Indians formed a junction with a Mexican force and the two bodies are under one command. The force was last reported about forty miles south of Del Rio. CITIZENS PARADE IN MEXICO CITY MEXICO CITY. June 20. The Mexican capital awaited today with tense interest the arrival of the American note. Arrangements had been made to flash a digest of its contents to all important cities of the republic as soon as it can be translated. No responsible official would comment on advance reports of the nature of President Wilson's reply. Officials generally expressd the hope that the United States would meet fully General Carranza"s demand for a withdrawal of the American forces or at least express a willingness to negotiate for their retirement. Publication of long dispatches reporting that President Wilson mobilized the militia only to guard the border has created a favorable impression j here. On the other hand, certain Mexii can leaders have openly questioned President Wilson"s good faith, assert- ; ing that the presence of heavy artillery ' with General Pershing's army is proof : that the object of the expedition was ' not the suppression of banditry, but the conquest of Mexican territory.

HUNGER DRIVES PEONS TO ENLIST IN ARMY GARRANZA IS GATHERING

EL PASO. Tex. June 20 Hunger is swelling the army that General Carranza Is recruiting in northern Mexico, in preparation for possible hostilities with the United States, according to stories brought here today by by Americans arriving from the inte rior. Peons who for some time have been on the verge of starvation, have been flocking to Carranza's standard in the last few days. In return for promises of food and clothing, they said., No applicants have been rejected, according to stories, which told of boys of ten to twelve years oi" age and old men being recruited. One of the arrivals, an American business man of Mexico City, estimated that there are now 25,000 Carranza troops in Chihuahua state, of whom about 2,000 are in Chihuahua city. 4.000 in Juarez and 5.000 in Villa Ahumada. the northern Chihuahua base, which is ninety-three miles south of El Paso. The remainder practically surround the American expeditionary command FRENCH STEAMER DESTROYED. HAVRE. June 20 The French steamship Saint Jacques. 2.459 tons, has been sunk by a German submarine. Nine members of the crew are missing. The Saint Jacques hailed from this port. INTERNATIONAL BANK TO AID BRITISH TRADE LONDON. June 20 Although the London papers all deny reports of the organization of a new international banking house with a capital of $."o.000.000, aiming, under the supervision of the government to assist British traders and manufacturers to gain a big share of the trade with the allied countries after the war, it appears that tentative plans for some such organization are being discussed in high financial quarters. It is felt that a great bank of this type, co-operating with similar Institutions in France. Italy and Rut-sia. would enable British traders to participate to the exclusion of the Germans in the enormous work of restoring and rebuilding the ravaged parts of Europe. The Daily Telegraph says that Sir Edward Holden. head of the largest bank in the world, "views with great interest the efforts being made in this direc tion." The Times says: "We believe that the proposed banking institutions is needed and that some form of co-operation between the present English banks brought by government intervention will be the best basis for its creation."

on the south, east and west. He said that several thousand troops have been at Chihuahua recently were, sent toward San Antonio and Maderia, ostensibly to be stationed along the line of the Mexican Northewestern ; railway, south of General Pershlngs com mand. The refugees brought with them graphic stories of economic conditions. One man said that he and his fellowpassengers would have starved had not the train stopped at times long enough to permit them to get out and eat raw beans from the fields. Another said he had vainly offered $5 American gold for a tortilla. ' The Mexicans are desperate." a refugee from the El Villa district said. "Even though their attitude otherwise might be friendly, hunger is apt to force them to attack an American supply train" Both El Paso and Juarez remained outwardly calm today, but in both towns soldiers are kept close to their camps.

BREAD RIOTS REPORTED ATHENS. June 20 Bread riots are reported at Patras. Algira, Malias and Agrinion.
