NEW CARRANZA NOTE
AGAIN DEMANDS WITHDRAWAL
OF AMERICAN TROOPS.
First Chief Declares Thero Is No Rea
son for U. 8. Soldiers In His
Country.
Washington, Juno 2. Demands that
tho United States withdraw its troops
and intimations that tho Amorican
government is not acting in good
faith aro contained In a 12,000-word
noto from General Carranza, deliv
ered to tho Btate department on
Wednesday by EHboo Arredondo, Mexi
can ambassador designate.
An explanation of tho actions of
tho Wilson administration is ro
quosted. Added to this is a well-defined sus
picion in tho mind of Carranza and
his advisers that tho American gov
ernment, while making protestations
of good will and friendliness, Is pro
paring for any emergency In Mexico,
and to provo this contention Cnrranzn
cites tho practical embargo ou arms
and ammunition, he having received
no shipments for wcoks. It also Is
doclared that machinery which was
ordered weeks ago for Carranza ar
sonals is held up by order of Wash
ington. "Tho Mexican government thero
foro invites tho United States to
bring to an end this unsupportablo
situation," the noto concludes, "and
to support its protestations and dec
clarations of friendship by an immedi
ate ylthdrawal of Amorican troops."
Stato department officials regard tho
noto not as an ultimatum, but as a
contlnuanco of tho negotiations with
the Carranza government

Chicago, ) 7. Tho Republican
party oponeiT Its groat quadronnial
show tho national convention today
before a capacity house. Despite the
fact that the proceedings of the first
session woro to bo only preliminary
formalities, tho people flocked to tho
Coliseum by tho thousand and poured
through tho many entrances In solid
Btroams for hours. When Charles D.
HUles, chairman of tho national com
mittee, aroso at eleven o'clock and
took up tho gavel to call tho conven
tion to order there was not ono va
cant seat in tho immenso structure.
It was a fine setting for an Im
portant event. The Coliseum was dec
orated as never before, with flags and
bunting draping the girders and gal
leries and covering all bare spots on
tho ends walls. Up in a gallery at the
south end of the hall a brass band
was pouring forth patriotic and popu
lar airs. Back of the speaker's ros
trum, where sat Mr. Hllles and his
working force of 35 men, were grouped
many membors of tho diplomatic
corps who had como on from Wash
ington, and the distinguished guests
of tho convention, among them all liv
ing ox-chalrwan of Republican nation-
al conventions. To the right and left
I of theso werovplaced tho members of
the national committee and their
guests.
In tho body of tho ball, directly In
front of the speaker's stand, were the
991 delegates gathered about their
stato standards, and back of them 991
alternates. Just below the rostrum
and on both sides of It wero the 425
working newspaper men, and in the
galleries all around the hall wero the
thousands of spectators who had been
fortunate to obtain admission tickets.
Convention Begins Business.
Mr. Hllles was heartily applauded
when he stood before the throng,
gavel in hand. He spoko but briefly
in calling tho groat gathering to or-
dflr, and callod on Rev. John Timothy
Stone, pastor of the Fourth Presby
terian church of Chicago, to deliver
tho invocation. Dr. Stone's eloquent
and impressive prayer was followed
by the reading of the call for the
convention by James B. Reynolds ol
Massachusetts, secretary of tho na
tional committee.
Mr. Hilles then called for nomina
tions for temporary chairman. Ol
course tho selection of United jStatos
Senator Charles Warren Harding ol
Ohio for that position had been all
settlod long ago and his election bj
unanimous voto was only a formality
Senator Harding Is an imposing fig
ure, and as ho accepted tho gavel from
tho hands of Mr. Hilles ho was en
thuslastlcally cheered.
Chairman Harding's Address.
Chairman Harding launched at once
into his "keynote" speech, and did not
belle his reputation for eloquence and
deftness of phrase. Ho began with a
warm plea for harmony in the party
ranks, coupled with tho confident as
sertion that such harmony already was
an assured fact. With unctuous sen
tences ho skillfully oiled the way for
tho smooth roturn of those who left
the party four years ago to follow the
Bull Moose standard, and ho declared
to them and to the world that he did
not believe there was a really reac
tionary Republican among tho dole-
gates.
As might havo been expected, Mr.
Harding early in his address took up
the subject of national defense. His
utterancos on this topic wero reason
ably mophatlc and in lino with tho
preparedness sentiment that has been
spreading over the land. Our nation
al unselfishness has been proved since
the great war broke out, ho said, and
our national weakness in defenso re
vealed. The foreign policy of the
Democratic administration, both in
relation to Europe and In tho matter
of Moxlco, was dealt with in a few
caustic sentences, nnd tho plan to
"turn loose" tho Philippines also was
Bcorcd.
Tho speakor dovoted some attention
to tho need, from a Republican point
'of view, for a protective tariff, and
then turned to tho topic of American
ism. Hero ho once more let his elo
quenco havo full play, and His call for
loyalty, devotion and lovo for tho
United States on tho part of every
one of its citizens was answered by
a roar of cheers.
Routine Business Transacted.
When tho band music that burst
forth at the end of Senator Harding's
speech was over and the assemblage
quieted down again, tho other tempo
rary officers woro nominated and
elected, and tho chairmen of tho vari
ous state delegations wero called on
to send up tho names of the men se
lected by the delegations to ropresent
them on tho committees on creden
tials, permanent organization, rules
and order of business, nnd resolutions.
In most cases tho names wore all
ready and wero soon In possession nf
the secretarial.
Battle for Biggest Purses Ever Hung.
Up for Roping and Riding In West
WJII Bring Out 500 Contestants
Mirth and Thrills Prevail.
Sioux City, la., Juno 1. Announce
ment by business men in Sioux City
that $30,000 will bo Bpent in providing;
purses and attractions for the Roundup
celebration to be held here July 3, 4, &
and 6 has drawn from tho west and
southwest letters from scores of cow
boys and cowgirls saying thoy will
compote for world champoinshlp in,
the various events to bo staged.
The Roundup organization was per
fected as a result of tho success haft
when three years ago a Frontier Days
celebration was put on. Tho sports ot
the old and untamed west, as staged at
that time, drow in 40,000 peoplo and
the program was hearlcled as tho most
successful amusement event over
stuged on tho Interstate Livestock fair
grounds.
Joe Morton, secretary of tho fair, is.
to be general manager of tho celegra
tion and is assisted by Homer S. Wil
son, the only cowboy editor in tho
world, who will act as tho arena direct
or. Because of the fact thot world cham
pionships are involved In tho outcome
of tho contests and because thous
ands are expected to attend tho cele
bration the railroad companies now
have under consideration a schemo for
excursion trains to bo operated on.
July 4 at least, and possibly on tho
other days of tho contest.
Cowboys and cowgirls from Okla
homa, Txas, Wyoming, Montana, Soutbj
Dakota and Nebraska aro to trek
across tho plains to attend the meeting.
Tho bucking horses and tho cowboy
squad that mado the Cheyenne days
famous will take a special train to
the Sioux City celebration. From tho
Mulhall range, pet camping spot of
Theodore Roosevelt, 20 cowgirls and
30 cowboys will ride to the joust.
Chuck wagon and stage coach races,,
night shirt and relny races, the time
honored potato game of tho plains and
the grab race, all spctacular and
leughter provoking events, will ha
staged each day of the show. There
aro to bo 18 contests each day, wllb
tho special events centerod on tho In
dependence day program.
The heroes of tho cowboy movies"
havo entered their names as contosU
ants here and from all tho cities wher"
war horses aro being recruited for
Europe the riders who are paid to tamo
tho man killing bronks will come.
Special morning programs aro be
ing worked out for July 4.
Tho Roundup celebration will revive
that custom of tho old west, namely,
tho coronation of a cowgirl queen, to
rulo during the fours day of contest
Tho queen will bo tho center of tho
motion picture reproductions. The
queen is to be surrounded with a
court of beautiful girl riders and wilt
lead tho grand ensembles at tho open
ing and closing of afternoon programs
It Is expected that some twenty glrla
will seek tho honor of heading the
Roundup.
At least four motion picture compa
nies aro seeking the exclusive right
to photograph tho western sports
events.
Tho show is to bo augmented with
a miniature reproduction of "boom
town." In tho stands, flaunting the
gay colors of the plans, barkers will
preside.
Cowboy hats and kerchiefs will b
tho predominating feature of the stylo
show In the grandstands and the offi
cial call of tho Roundup, "Rido that
bird! Let's go!'' will bo sounded by
thousands, the chorus being led by the
plainsmen in the contest areas.
Why Soils Get Dry.
Most partly rundown soils have lost
much of tho organic mattor they had
originally. The growing of wheat and
corn uses up tho soil humus at a rapid
rate, and so tho time comes when a
sovoro drought destroys tho plants on
a soil that does not hold tho moisture
to tho extent that it formerly did. Then
the plants die, and tho farmer blames
tho dry weather.
Hair Tonic His Undoing.
"I understand Blnks has just had a
most humiliating experience." "Yes,
he has. You see, he prided himself for
years on his ability to withstand regu
lar liquor, and yet succumbed to some
hair tonic ho bought at a drug store."
Richmond TImo-Dispatch.
Good Rule.
Never wait for a thing to turn up.
Go and turn It up yourself. It takes
less time and it is surer to bo done.
Hard to Believe.
She "I want you to forget that r
told you I didn't mean what I said
about not taking back my refusal to
change my mind. I'vo been thinking:
It over, nnd I'vo decided that I was.
mistaken in tho first placo." "Do you
really mean that, Isabel?" Life.
Something of an Earmark.
A German was summoned to Iden
tify n stolen hog. On being asked by
tho lawyer If the hog had any earmarks,
he replied: "Tho only oarmnrks dot
I saw vas his tall was cut of."
