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. E.
Darling, of Oakland, Cal., and Scotty
Allan, and driven by, Allan, was sec
ond, and one of J. Johnson's teams
third.' The weather was fine, but
cold, the temperature ranging for sev
eral days around the 20 below mark.
Nevada is Raising Cash.
Carson, Nev. Three bills designed
to remedy financial difficulties in the
state taxation system were passed at
Saturday's session of the legislature
here. '
One of the bills authorizes the state
to borrow $200,000 from the school
funds at 4 per cent interest; a second
measure redistributes the state's mon
ey into various funds and a third ap
propriates $10,000 for the expenses
of the present extra session.
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. Gomez has been advanced as a
presidential possibility by the Vas-
quisa revolutionists in Mexico.
