Wachter, who is engaged in the bill-posting business here under the name of the Dixie Advertising Company, has instituted mandamus I proceedings against, hte icty of Greensboro and the three city com- ; missioners, in which he prays the rcourt to direct the commissioners to ; issue license to him to do a bill-post-ing business in the city of Greens-boro from June 1, 191C, to May 31, 1917— The summons is returnable before Judge Thomas J. Shaw,, in Creensboro, on July 3. This is the newest chapter in the controversy which has been waged between the Dixie Advertising Com-pany and the city commissioners for the last six weeks. The storm cen-ter is a bilboard on Summit avenue. Two of the city commissioners have recently discovered that this is a nuisance and dangerous to travel, on account of its being near the railroad crossing, and are determined to have it moved. The defendant contends that the board is on private property and is securely maintained and ques-tions its being dangerous to travel. The commissioners a few Veeks ago passed an ordinance making it unlawful to maintain & billboard I within one hundred and fifty feet of any railroad street crossing. This ordinance, designed for this particu-lar case, has been called into use i against the advertising man, and he | has twice been arrested under it. In | one care, on appeal from the Mnni- | cinal court, the jury found him not I guilty, desoite the court's directions I that a verdict of guilty he returned, j if the jury believed tile evidence. In May the commissioners passed an ordinance requiring persons in j the billposting business 'o make ap- ! plication for license to the board in i session, and upon Mr. Wachter's ap- I plying for license, he was refused promptly. He then tecdare.1 i.: ; money to the city clerk for license, and it was again refused. A warrant .was then issued for Mr. Wachter for doing business without a license, and this case is on appeal to the civil court. In his complaint Mr. Wachter sets out the corporation of the city of Greensboro, and the provision of its charter and ordinance applicable to the billboard controversy, and also charges that he has been refused li-cense unlawfully and arlrtrarily, and asks the court by mandamus to re-quire the defendants to issue the li-cense. Mr. Wachter is represented by At-torney Charles A. Kines. THOMAS C. M'COY TO ANSWER CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY. The United States District court here Friday took up one end of the famous whiskey conspiracy cases of Little Rock and Jacksonville, in which John Casper, formerly of Winston-Salem, is rervmg a nine years' sentence in the federal peni-tentiary at Fort .Leavenworth, Kan-sas. The matter considered here was whether or not T. C. McCoy, of Asheville, who is wanted in Jackson-ville and Little Rock, should be 3ent to one of these places. McCoy is a defendant and alleged co-conspirator with Casper and others in the big whiskey frauds. The matter was heard by Judge Boyd in the capacity of a committing magistrate. Following the introduc-tion of testimony and argument of counsel. Judge Boyd ruled that the defendant should appear for trial on the conspiracy charge. McCoy was required to give a bond of $3,000 for liis appearance at the December term cf United States District court in Jacksonville, Fla. After McCoy had been indicted in Jacksonville he was released by the United States commissioner at Ashe-ville. following an investigation that lasted a week. He was arrested about six weeks ago on a bench warrant issued by Judge Boyd, who was presiding over a term of court in Asheville at the time. The hear-ing was adjourned from Asheville to Greensboro. AMERICANS _WERE TRAPPED TWO TROOPS OF CAVALRY PRAC-TICALLY WIPED OUT BY THE MEXICANS. The two troops cf the tenth cav-alry under Capt. Charles T. Boyd, practically were wiped out by the at-tack of the Mexican forces under Gen. Gomez at Carrizal. June 21, ac-cording to indications given in a fragmentary report received by Gen. FUnston from Gen. Pershing. Gen. Pershing's message stated that seven survivors in all, including those who arrived las* night, have reached the taain column. All were enlisted men; but the report did tiot say whetherithere were non-commis-sioned officers among them. Accordinggto the stories of the survivors, aJ outlined in Gen. Per-shing's report,' a mounted force of Mexicans made a charge from the flank of the'American troops at the conclusion of a parley between Cant. Boyd and Gjen. Gomez at the same time that a machine gup opened fire from the front as Gen. Gomez reach-ed his lines. Capt. Boyd had ordered his men to dismount-as the machine gun opened fire and the combined effort of the Mexican garrison of Carrizal, which had almost surrounded the lit-tle American force under cover of the parley sought by Gen. Gomez to discuss whether Capt. Boyd should he allowed to pass through the town, The United States government | Legislative approval of President took-steps Friday to provide for de- Wilson's use of the national -aard pendent families of soldiers who re- in the Mexican crisis was vo'ed al-spond to the call for arms when the. most unanimously by Qn houso Fri BOOM by an almost unanimous vote j day in adopting a resolution declar-passed the Hay resolution, providing j Ing the existence of an ere- gency for an appropriation of $1,000,000 and giving the president a free hand to draft as federal soldiers all guardsmen willing to take the re- The senate is expected The Little Rock indictment was stampeded the horses. brought before Judpe Boyd at Ashe-ville last fall ar.ci McCoy was re-leased because the warant had not been properly certified. Appearing as counsel for McCoy Friday were Thomas Settle and Mc- Kinley Pritchard, of Asheville; A. E. Holton, of Winston-Salem, and w. p Att the prosecu Attorney Fred Botts, of Florida. McCoy was formerly in the reve-nue service and made his headquar-ters in Greensboro for several years. He is weil known in this section of the state. No details were made known to Gen. Pershing as to whether the Mexican charge was checked. Fate of Men Sciileri. With their mounts gone, caught without means, of escape, ringed to be used to take care of families whose bread-winners are called to arms. The bill provides that $50 a month shall be paid to such families as come under the above heading. Furthermore, the house amended the army bill so that the term of en-listment of national guardsmen will not extend to longer than three years from the time they eater the federal service. The Hay resolution as orig-inally drafted would have compelled state militiamen to remain in the service ss long as the authorities want them. Representatives Claude Kitchin, Webb, Page, Doughton, Stedman and Godwin, also a num-ber of others, got together and had the resolution amended so that the men who are now leaving their homes for the front cannot be com-pelled to serve more than three years, and their term of enlistment with the federal forces shall expire immediately after the present emer-gency is over. The step taken to provide for the families of men called upon to leave their homes for the front is the first action ef the kind ever taken by this government. It is sure to iiave the effect of flooding the re-cruiting offices with men who desire to enlist, but up to this time have felt that they could not do so in jus-tice to their families. The only n en quired oath, to concur. As introduced, the resolution merely authorized the president to draft guardsmen "whenever in his opinion an emergency exists wh'ch demands the use of troops in addi-tion to the regular army." As soon as the final vote on the resolution had been taken it was sent over to the senate, where it ar-rived just as adjournment was being taken. It was referred to the mili-tary committee with the announce-ment that unanimous consent would be asked to consider it. A proposal to authorize the presi-dent to draft members of the naval DUuua in time of emergency also was introduced in the house today. It introduced In the house. It was attached to a naval militia pay bill and would give authority for en-rollment of naval militiamen as "na-tional naval volunteers" whenever the President should see fit to call on them. .

Justice of the Peace Collins on TAR HEEL TROOPS TO GO TO THE BORDER AT ONCE. The understanding in Washington is that the war department will send the North Carolina troops to the Mexican border just as soon as they are mobilized and ready for the trip. An order just sent out is inter-preted as meanine that all state guardsmen now being gathered to-gether in concentration camps will be moved -to the border as rapidly as transportation facilities will permit. The following order has been sent to the heads cf the various military organizations: "The secretary of war has ordered department commanders to send to points designated by General Fun-ston eacli regiment, separate battal-ion or other separate organizations the moment it is reported by you as reasonably ready for service. Or-ganizations must not delay departure on acocunt of shortage in field trans-portation, as this will be sent to the designated points." In other words, as Adjutant Gen-eral Young reports to his superior of-ficer that the North Carolina organi-zation or any part of it is ready to travel, orders will be issued designat-ing what point on the border the troops are to be sent to. As things look now, the stay of the troops at Morehead City is to be a short one. Indeed, it is possible that some of the companies may not go there at all, but will be sent imme-diately to the Mexican front. dous luck, backed by desperate valor, could hare ijct'-lcated Captain P.oj d's men from the trap. The reports from Mexican sources place the number cf itilled, including two officers, at from IS to 40. It is reported 17 were taken captive into Chihuahua City. The reports from General Pershing stated that the stories of the surviv-ors were confused and did not con-form in all details with the report made by the first arri"els from the battlefield. Gen. Pershing reported that there was a scene o£ wild con-fisicn when the Mexicans opened fire and their cavalry charger The strag-glers apparently were ci.; off in an effort of ('spt.

A crowd gathered around the belligerents and it is said there was much talk of a threatening na-ture. In some manner the revolver in the hands of one of the Pat rums was discharged, the bullet narrow-ly missing a child. Some one telephoned the sheriff's office of the trouble, and Sheriff Stafford and Deputy Phipps hurried to Kimesviile by automobile. When the officers arrived the trouble had blown over, though it was feared there might be another outbreak up-on the return of the Patrum broth-ers, who had gone away from the mill. After a short search the men were found in a body of woods near by. Both men were drunk and prac-tically helpless when placed under arrest. They were brought to Greensboro-and committed to jail. At the hearing before Squire Col-lins Saturday morning both defend-ants were adjudged guilty. The ex-perience cost James Patrum $18.50 and G. S. Patrum $13.50. Goldsboro Machinists Strike. The big machine plant of Dewey Brothers in Goldsboro was forced to shut down Friday on account of a misunderstanding between the man-agement and all of the machinists. Including several of the apprentice boys. They held a short conference, put on their coats and walked out.

The investigation of the manage-ment of the Central Hospital for the Insane terminated Friday with an admission by counsel for the prosecu-tion of the charges against Supt. Albert Anderson and the manage-ment of the institution that they had failed to make out a case. This admission came when, at the conclusion of evidence for the de-fense, a call was made for argument by the prosecuting counsel. They wanted time to get three more witnesses, whose testimony it was insisted could be only cumulative and Chairman Aydlett would not hold the case open. They wanted Alexander Webb, chairman of the board of internal improvements. Mrs. Duvall and Mrs. Strickland, formerly connected with the institution. Counsel for the prosecution, Douglass & Douglas and Mr. Ashby Lambert, admitted that they had An interesting mee-ing of % the boys' pig club of the county was held in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce Saturday morning and was attended by 45 of the 60 mem-bers of the club. Announcement was made of the prizes offered in the state-wide contest and also a number of special prizes to be com-peted for by the members of the Guilford county club. A number of business concerns in Greensboro and High Poin.' have offered premiums to be awarded at the Central Carolina fair ip October. Encouraging talks were made to the boys by Mr. T. E. Browne, who has charge of the pig club work in house that the bill would not affect any man or men whose family was dependent. He assured the members that the Southern families would share equally with ell other sections of tlie country. Confederate veteran, assured the the state; Mr. E. H. Anderson, the county demonstration agent; Mr. F. C. Boyles, cashier of the American Exchange National Bank; Prof. Thomas B.

The streets of Vera Cruz are thronged with American refugees seeking quarters in the different hotels and rooming houses. Many of them will occupy benches or walk the streets at night, because the most available quarters were occupied long since. A special train of eight box cars, carrying Americans and their bag-cage, arrived in Vera Cruz after be-ing ou the road for nearly 36 hours. The train was in no way molested by Mexican officials or the populace while en route. United States Consul W. W. Can-ada has advised the state department of trouble at Del Carmen, a port on the east coast of Mexico, and in re-sponse to his call the gunboat Wheel-ing was sent to Del Carmen. The Wheeling took off betwene 30 and 40 Americans. All Americans at Puerto Mexico were ordered to board the snips in the harbor. Orange County Family Feud. Lonnie Allen is in Watts hospital at Durham, in an extremely preca-rious condition from the effects of the perforation of a lo.ad of No. 6 shot and Bunn Wilson is under a S500 bond as the result of a family feud among Orange county farmers that terminated in a fusilade of fire-arms that narrowly averted the wercking of three lives. The affair occurred Friday afternoon at the home of Bunn Wilson, who resides in the southern extremity of Orange county. The wife of Lonnie Allen had left him and gone to live with her brother, Bunn Wilson, and as a sequel to a series of threats, Allen told his brother-in-law that he was going to see his wife or die in the at-tempt. He leveled his gun, where-upon Mr. Wilson emptied a load of shot into the abdomen of his assail-ant. Allen shot twice in the mean-time, the last ball from his rifle go-ing wild as he Ml to the ground. The stray bullet grazed the neck of his wife, who was standing in the door-way.

Or-ganizations must not delay departure on acocunt of shortage in field trans-portation, as this will be sent to the designated points." In other words, as Adjutant Gen-eral Young reports to his superior of-ficer that the North Carolina organi-zation or any part of it is ready to travel, orders will be issued designat-ing what point on the border the troops are to be sent to. As things look now, the stay of the troops at Morehead City is to be a short one. Indeed, it is possible that some of the companies may not go there at all, but will be sent imme-diately to the Mexican front. dous luck, backed by desperate valor, could hare ijct'-lcated Captain P.oj d's men from the trap. The reports from Mexican sources place the number cf itilled, including two officers, at from IS to 40. It is reported 17 were taken captive into Chihuahua City. The reports from General Pershing stated that the stories of the surviv-ors were confused and did not con-form in all details with the report made by the first arri"els from the battlefield. Gen.

A crowd gathered around the belligerents and it is said there was much talk of a threatening na-ture. In some manner the revolver in the hands of one of the Pat rums was discharged, the bullet narrow-ly missing a child. Some one telephoned the sheriff's office of the trouble, and Sheriff Stafford and Deputy Phipps hurried to Kimesviile by automobile. When the officers arrived the trouble had blown over, though it was feared there might be another outbreak up-on the return of the Patrum broth-ers, who had gone away from the mill. After a short search the men were found in a body of woods near by. Both men were drunk and prac-tically helpless when placed under arrest. They were brought to Greensboro-and committed to jail. At the hearing before Squire Col-lins Saturday morning both defend-ants were adjudged guilty. The ex-perience cost James Patrum $18.50 and G. S. Patrum $13.50. Goldsboro Machinists Strike.

The affair occurred Friday afternoon at the home of Bunn Wilson, who resides in the southern extremity of Orange county. The wife of Lonnie Allen had left him and gone to live with her brother, Bunn Wilson, and as a sequel to a series of threats, Allen told his brother-in-law that he was going to see his wife or die in the at-tempt. He leveled his gun, where-upon Mr. Wilson emptied a load of shot into the abdomen of his assail-ant. Allen shot twice in the mean-time, the last ball from his rifle go-ing wild as he Ml to the ground. The stray bullet grazed the neck of his wife, who was standing in the door-way.
