Challenge for International Trophy Expected From Chicago Sir Thomas Lipton is pre paring to challenge once more for the America's cup and prospects are ro seate for another great international yacht race. This is the message brought to Chicago by bir William Bull, of London, member of pari i a ment and prominent in Bportmg and other public affairs in England. Sir William speaks with authority con cerning Lipton, as he is a personal friend and was one of Sir Thomas guests at New York when the last cup race was sailed. 'I feel sure that there will be an other race, though I would not say that Sir Thomas has made the an nouncement." he said at the Congress hotel. "I want to say also that I do not think that there is anything un sportsmanlike in the attitude of American yachtsmen. Ihey have a perfect right to make conditions for a race. "While I feel that it is a handicap to be compelled to bring a boat across the Atlantic, it is merely a condition that cannot be avoided." Women on Charter Board. Los Angeles The first step toward placing Los Angeles under the com mission form of government has been taken by the city council, by appoint ing a charter revision committee of 15, with instructions to make rec ommendations for all necessary changes in the charter, looking to the establishment of the commission gov' ernment. Among the commission' ers are Mrs. R. L. Graig, member of the city board of education, and Miss Evelyn Stoddard, city playground com missioner. Huge Liner Hits Wreck. Belfast The White Star liner Olympic, which left New York last Friday and was due .. in Southampton Thursday, struck a submerged wreck in the Atlantic early Wednesday morning. The damage was confined to one propeller. The Olympic carried a large passenger list and many notables welre included among her first cabin passengers. Among them were Am bassador Reid, the Duke of Newcastle,- Count Apponyi and W. E. Corey. "Bathtub Trust" Freed. Detroit The government caused a surprise in its criminal suit against the so-called bathtub truBt, ' when, after announcing that its case was closed, Edwin P. Grosvenor, special assistant to Attorney-General Wicker sham, moved that the case against five of the defendants be nolle pressed because of lack of evidence. The court granted the motion. El Paso Four troops of United States cavalry patrol the' Rio Grande with orders to cross into Ciudad ' Juar ez, if necessary, to protect American life and property. Writh the 2 id Infantry and three companies of artillery entrained at San Antonio for this city, and at least 1,000 Vasquistas at Bauche,'' 14 miles south of Juarez, the situation general ly is considered the most critical since the recent outbreak in Chihuahua. The troops at Bauche are command ed by Colonel Inez Salszar, who, it is understood, will soon demand the for mal surrender of Juarez. It is hardly believed any show of resistance will be made, as Juarez is garrisoned only by about 100 men. That General Pasqual Orozco will remain loyal to Madero is the state ment contained in a message from Governor Gonzales to Mexican Consul Enrique C. Lo rente in El Paso. Lo rente also declared he had received advices that Antonio Rojas and Bar ulio Hernandez, rebel leaders, had been captured, but further confirma tion was unobtainable. Anticipating unexpected develop ments, Juarez residents moved their portable effects to the American side. United States and Mexican secret service operatives and Texas Rangers seized a manifesto issued by Gonzalo Enrile, former Mexican consul at Brussels. The manifesto makes an attack on the president of the United States, accusing him of "being re sponsible for the troubles of Mexico and Latin America." Officers are searching for Gonzalo Enrile. The manifesto says in part: "There have been so many bad acts in Mexico caused by your great efforts at expansion and domination, that it would be a crime of lese patria to suffer them in silence longer. You have created, fomented and consum mated the revolution which placed in power the traitor who is giving you our country. Your troops have in vaded our territory. In the name of the Monroe doctrine you put at half mast the flags of your sister republics. You appropriated Hawaii, you took the Panama canal zone. The Cubans did not blow up the Maine. Spain did not. Wall street did, with its imper ialism. This crime was called 'Wil liam McKinely,' and he paid the penalty by a bullet of Czolgosz. " ARMY THOROUGHLY PREPARED No Americans Shall Suffer, Is Order From Washington. Washington, D. C. Determined that no American lives shall be sacri ficed as a result of fighting on the Mexican border, the United States troops along the Rio Grande were re inforced and orders were given that firing into American territory must be stopped, even though it be necessary to cross the boundary line to force compliance. The order, the most sweeping that has gone out from the White House in the present situation, was issued after a conference between President Taft, Secretary of War Stimson, and Acting Secretary of State Huntington Wilson. In addition to sending another regi ment of infantry and three batteries of field artillery to the Mexican line, orders were issued to division com manders throughout the country to hold their companies in readiness to move at a moment a notice. The acute situation in Mexico has had the effect of putting the army establish ment in a high state of preparation, and mobilization on the Rio Grande could be effected quickly if occasion should arise. Dog Derby Is Run in Cold. Nome, Alaska The Solomon Derby race for dog teams, 65 miles, from Nome to the Solomon River and re turn over the Snow trail, purse $1,- 000, was won by Charlie Johnson's dogs in 5 hours, 47 minutes, 24 sec onds, breaking all records for the course The team owned by Mrs. C.

Three bills designed to remedy financial difficulties in the state taxation system were passed at Saturday's session of the legislature here.

Madero is Asked to Resign. San Antonio, Tex. Emilio Vasquez Gomez has telegraphed President Mad ero, of Mexico, from here asking him to surrender the presidency of the country and prevent further bloodshed and growth of the revolutionary move ment.
