SECRET SOCIETIES ARE FORMED Douglas, Ariz,, June 18—The civili- an population of Sonora is arming it- self, according to officials statements of Ives G, Lelevier, Mexican consul here, preparatory to repeiiing any at- tempted agression by the United States. Local feeling is high, but well under control of the officials. Added pre- cautions have been taken by the mili- tary authorities' to'prevent any out- breaks on this side of the line in the event of hostilities. General Calles’ entire force in Son- ora is estimated at from 16,000 to 20,000 men, mostly infantry. The larg- er part of the army is in central and gouthern Sonora engaged in the Ya- qui Indian campaign. Promises of Safe Escort. Consul Lelevier reiterated today that General. Calles has given his personal guarantee of safe escort to the border to all foreigners desiring to leave the country. 3 Eighten hundred de facto Mexicah cavalrymen who have been camped for two. months at Cuchuta, = thirty-five miles south of here on the Nacozari railroad, started eastward today to- ward Carretas Pass, through which they could gain access to Chihuahua, according to Americans arriving from the south., Colonel Gabriel Jimenez is reported in command. 3 It js said officially in Agua Prieta that these troops are going to Naco- zari, but men who say they met them on the road say they were traveling away from Nacozari, riding southeast instead of south. The first: Arizona volunteers were inspected and addressed today by Governor George W. P. Hunt of Ari- zona and Adjutant General Charles W. Harris at their camp here. Unconfirmed rumors of demonstra- tions to be held in several of the larg- er towns of Sonora, against American occupation increased local uneasiness tonight. Mexicans Drilling. El Paso, Tex,, June 18.—About three score Mexicans reported in Juarez plaza this evening in response toa calf to citizens to receive military instructions that they mught be pré- pared to repel invasion in the event there should -be a break with the United States. The Mexicans organ- ized a civil guard, went through a few perfuri¢fory military' movements and went to their homes without further demonstration. Numerous rumors were current in El Paso today that secret organiza- tion are being formed in Juarez whose members are pledged to take up arms in'the event of American intervention, but these were not confirmed by Mex- ican officials. : Excitement Abated. Excitement manifest in El Paso last night and early today apparently had abated early tonight with the realiza- tion that every preparation has. been made to protect the city in even the remote regiors. | No anti-American demonstrations will be allowed in"“Juarez by General Francisco Gonzales, acting comman- der of northern Chihuahua, This state- ment was made by him today to a small = defegation of Mexicans who called to see him'in regard to holding a meeting of protest against the pres- ence ‘of American troops. -General Gonzales later said that Juarez would remain quiet so long as he was in con- Speech. making agitators or others actuated by aggressive pur- poses would be promptly arrested he added. . Arms Distributed. Laredo, Tex., June 18.—Arms and ammunition were distributed to citi- zens in Nuevo Laredo, opposite here tonight ~by = constitutionalist leaders for use, it was said in -the event of a break in relations between the United |, States and Mexico, in order to have the citizens prepared for service in the army. Information was given to military authorities here tonight that large number of Mexican troops have been | concentrated” north of Laredo for an attack on American territory. The proper precautions . were taken by Ggneral Mann. hree: companies of United States coast artillery arrived here today and took their stations with the Ninth in- fantry in the Laredo district boarder patrol. Wheat Takes Fall Clear to Botyom Grain prices on the Omaha market, as elsewhere, continued to, decline wheat being the heaviest loser, it dropping off 1 to'3 cents. And in this connection, dealers generally assert that the bottom has not been reached. They say that with the elevators of the country filled to bursting, the for- eign demand pracically cut off and the prospects favorable for the great- est wheat crop the country has ever raised, there can be but little hope for higher prices in the near future. ith fifty-nine cars of wheat re- ceived, the sales were made at 86 and 93 cents for cash and the July op- tion selling but little above $1° per bushel. For July this was the lowest price touched since the option became a trading proposition last fall. Corn lost, but not so much as wheat. The prices were one-half to a cent and a half off, selling at 66 and 73% cents per bushel. The feceipts were thirty-seven car loads. Oats were down one-fourth to one- half cent, selling at 35% "and 3674 cents per bushel. Receipts were six- teen car loads. Durum wheat that a was. selling around $1. er bushel, has dropped down around 70 cents, due to the fact that the “embargo shipments on account of the war has practically’ cat out all export ship- ments and the home demand is not sufficient to use up the supply. Dreadful Cough Cured. ear ago now “Following an_sttack of onia I had four years ago; I had a that hung on for months,” writes Mrs. Owen Caruthers, Wi Milwaukee Road’s Key Men Threaten - A (eneral Strike Sioux City, Ia., June 18.—~More than 2,600 telegraphers and station agents on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad have voted nearly unanimous- ly to strike .if the company again re- fuses their demands for shorter hours and increased pay. The result of the strike vote was: Yes, 2,550; No, 6. The men who would be affected by the strike would include in addition to the operators and statjon agents, the staifmen, telephone operators and tower operators, or “lever men.” The whole Milwaukee system would be affected. The fact that the strike vote had been taken leaked out today. It had not been planned to make the an- nouncement of the result of the vote until next Monday in Chicago. An- other conference will be held with P. C. Hart, general manager of the Mil- waukee system, in Chicago Monday. Byram Fears That Cars Will Be Scarce Again This Fall (From a Staff Correspondent.) --Lincoln, June 18.—(Special.)—Vice President H. E. Byram of the Bur- lington railroad called on the State Railway commission today. The visit of Mr. Byram was a so- cial one so far as anybody was able to. discover, but he did say that the prospects this year were such that the car shortage would be a greater prob- lem to handle than in any previous years. ’ He favors a law which ‘would com- el all' roads recetving freight cars rom other roads compelling them to return them as soon as unloaded to the road owning them. He said that small roads which had few cars used the cars of the larger roads, thus making it difficult for the latter to supply the demand. Rickett Says Visitors Stole Diamond Pin Two men who were visiting' at the residence of Oscar Rickett, 1618 Nicholas street, . relieved him of a two-karat diamond pin when they left the house yesterday, according to the statement made by Mr. Rick- ett to the police.

A .Brobery, 3716 Grant avenue, reported to the police last night the theft of $2 in Lincoln pennies and buffalo nickels which she states someone took from the dining room of her home yesterday after- noon. While stopping at'a local hotel yes- terday, J. P. White of the American Express company lost a leather grip which thinks. someone has taken. The grip contained some valuable papers belonging.to the company. Corrick Declines To Talk Party Plans (From a Statf Correspondent.) Lincoln, June 18—(Special)— Colonel F. P. Corrick returned this morning from the east, where he attended the national conventions and.then with Mrs. Corrick visited with relatives before returning to Nebraska.

WHOLE FORCE T0 HAVE OUTING “Oh, girls, won't we have just the best time!” So exclaimed two or three of the first group of Armour girls who will participate in a onc week's vacation, expenses all paid, at Camp Howe, King's lake. The party will leave this morning at 7:30 o'clock in two big touring cars furnished by the com- pany. Howard Orchard, timekeeper at the plant, Has charge of the ar- rangements, Swimming, fishing, woods explor- ing, most anything that comes with a real up-to-date camp, will be on the schedule of the packing house girls, No expense has been spared by the company to make the trip the most delightful possible. Each week a bunch of twelve girls will be dis- patched to spend seven days. Auto: mobiles will be used in each case if the weather permits. Living at the camp will be in house tents, 10x12 feet, with boarded floors. In each tent are two beds, a small dresser-and a couple of chairs, Every- thing that would go to make up the ideal camping outfit is provided. g"ish- ing tackle, bathing suits and all other outdoor accessories are also furnished. Last year not all of the girls at the plant would make the trip for no other reason than, as General Man- ager R. C. Howe of the plant explains, “they couldn’t see why Armour & Co. should give them something for noth- ing.” But this year it is different. Ac- cording to reports, all but one girl at the plant are enthusiastically looking forward to the excursion and that one holds back because of good reason. The camp is placed in charge of a woman expert, Mrs. H. Hudson of Omaha, wha chaperons the girls, teaches them to cook, milk cows and other things domestic. Three daugh- ters of Mr. King, who owns the land and the lake ground, are adept at swimming and usually teach the visit- ors how to swim if they do not know. It is estimated that 108 girls will go to the camp this year, requiring nine weeks to complete the schedule. ‘The camp is situated at the junction of the Elkhorn and Horseshoe rivers. There are boats on the lake and the principal living house is provided with 3 Victrola. Camp fires will be held nightly. Boosting for Banquet. That “Get Together” spirit accen- tuated by the action of the Omaha city commission in electing George Parks, one of the South Side’s fore- most citizens as commissioner in the place of the late Commissioner John Drexel, has fairly saturated leading business men and citizens of this part of Greater Omaha. The latest de- velopment among the real boosters of the South Side is a monster ban- uet in honor of Commissioner arks to be held in the dining hall of the Exchange building Thursday eve- ni!;f, June 29. enry C. Murphy and P. J. Martin have been two leading spirits in the foundation of the movement. It is the next plan'to organize the South Side’s leading ' citizens into ‘one big improvement club, and make this club stand first, last and always for the| interests of this part of Omaha. Talk of such an organization has been drifting among business men and politicians for some months and it is well on its way now to' a definite foundation. A committee of business men, poli- ticians, professional'men and 'news- paper men have met and decided on the plans, Commissioner Parks, “The Keynote,” as Henry Murphy aptly describes him, will be made the center of the banquet and will lead in the speech-making. Admission will be charged to the banquet. . Tickets are already on sale at all of the leading business houses of the South Side. Noted Eagle Here. Frank E. Hering, managing editor of the National Eagle magazine, will be in the South Side on a visit Mon- day morning.
