Chihuahua, Mexico, June 8.—An an
ti-American riot, incited by a mass
meeting to protest against the contin-
ued presence of American troops in
Mexican territory, was put down here
last night by the military. A demon
stration had been made against the
American consulate and stones hurled
at the foreign club in the belief that
it was an American institution.
The meeting as a protest against
prospective American intervention as
well as against the presence of the
punitive force, was called at the Cen-
tennial theater, but the theater prov-
ed too ^mall to contain the crowd so
an overflow meeting was held later in
the Alameda, near the American son-
sulate. There various orators contin-
ued their speeches of protest.
The crowd snatched the consulate
signs which were later recovered by
the police. After the trouble com-
menced, General Lopez arrived on the
scene with troops and placed a strong
guard around the consulate. The mob
then contented itself with throwing a
few stones at the foreign club. Later
when the club was in darkness some
of the rioters returned and broke more
glass. The military thereupon placed
a heavy guard around the club.
The few Americans who remain in
Chihuahua and the other foreigners
were not molested and no private
houses were attacked.

The loss of Fort Vaux id the Gei-
mans is conceded. The French an-
nouncement says the fort was aban-
doned by the garrison after it had
been reduced to ruins. The French
still occupy the outskirts of the fort,
as well as the trenches to the right
and left, where heavy fighting con-
tinues.
According to latest reports to the
French war office the loss of the fort
would be regretted for the sake of the
garrison which so valiantly defended
it, although military critics assert it
is of little strategic value. The fort
has long been dismantled and was
used by the French merely as an ob-
servation point.
According to information received
by the Russian embassy at Rome, the
Austrians have evacuated Lutsk, one
of the Volhynian triangle of fortress-
es.

Washington, June 8.—The outcome
of the administration’s efforts to keep
the United States out of war and at
the same time maintain national hon-
or would be the foundation of the for-
eign affairs plank and one of the env
phasized points in the platform to be
adopted by the Democratic national
convention at St. Louis, according to
authoritative information obtained
from administration sources.
President Wilson began work sev-
eral days ago on a platform to be sub-
mitted to the convention by party
leaders and virtually has completed a
preliminary draft leaving only details
to be finished after the Republican and
Progressive conventions at Chicago.
The President has utilized as a basis
of this work features of the Missouri
state Democratic platform which was
prepared, officials made known last,
night, under the direction of the White
House.
Following out this idea, it is under-
stood that the national platform will
declare the success of the administra-
tion in guarding the honor and inter-
ests of the United States in the face
of obstacles and at the same time
keeping the nation at peace. The ad-
ministration’s championship against
all belligerents of the righths of Amer-
ica and ail neutrals on the highseas
will be praised with the statement
that the results will be of great im-
portance to American commerce.
The Mexican situation will be re-
ferred to by praise of the President’s
action in refusing to allow the nation
to be drawn into the internal strife
raging in Mexico and of his prompt
action in ordering troops across the
border after the Columbus massacre.

Chicago, 111., June 7.—The second
day of the Republican national conven-
tion opened in a downpour of rain,
which visibly affected the spirit of
the delegates. The house was called
to order at 11:22 o'clock.
Temporary organization was imme-
diately made permanent and Senator
Harding given an ovation. The cre-
dential committee report was adopted
and the Philippine, Hawaiian and Por-
to Rican delegates seated.
The sub committee on resolutions
adopted a plank respecting Mexican
relations offered by Senator Fall of
New Mexico, which makes a strong
attack on the present administration’s
policy.
Other planks touching on labor,
Americanism, national defense and
otkfr questions have been adopted in
a form intended to meet progressive
sentiment.
TEXAS HAS SUPERINTENDENT
OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION.

U. S. TROOPS ORDERED READY

London, June 8.—An Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Tien Tsin. China,
says that United States troops there
had been ordered to hold themselves
in readiness to proceed to Pekin.
Smithville Teacher Drowns
Associated Press
Smithville, Texas, June 7.—Lindsay
Jackson, aged 22, graduate of Texas
State University, school teacher and
well known, was drowned in the Colo-
rado river near Smithville. Jackson
was with a large party of bathers at
the time and drowned before he was
missed.
The county commissioners who do
not employ a county engineer now
have the opportunity of getting some
expert advice regarding road construc-
tion without any cost to them. This
,has been made possible by the request
of Governor Ferguson on the Washing-
ton authorities.
George D. Marshall, superintendent
of road construction, office of public
roads, has been assigned to the state
of Texas. By this arrangement a gov-
ernment road expert becomes avail-
able to every county in the state desir-
ing information as to the best system
of road administration, construction
and maintenance. County officials
who realize the importance of obtain-
ing such information to aid them in
expending road and bridge funds, can
secure Mr. Marshall’s services free of
charge by making application to Gov-
ernor Ferguson.
The Herald hopes our county judge
and commissioners will avail them-
selves of the opportunity of securing
Mr. Marshall’s services on road con-
struction and maintenance, and espe-
cially on MAINTENANCE, for here is
where the county loses money.
It is just as important, in fact more
important to maintain a road after it
is built than to build a new road. It
is an absolute waste of funds to build
roads and then neglect to have some
ope look after them when bad weath-
er conies. Every main road in the
county should be dragged after every
rain and if such was done it would not
only keep the roads in good condition,
but save the county thousands of dot
lars, which we would have to spend
later in the construction of new roads.
Herwig Speaks at Christian Chapel.
William J. Herwig, assistant super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon league
of Texas, spoke to a large audience at
the Christian Chapel last evening in
the interest of prohibition. Mr. Her-
wig also gave a brief review of the
Sulphur Springs brewery suit and stat-
ed that the people all over the state
are at last awakening to the fact that
the breweries of this state and other
Rtates have been conducting a cam-
paign expending millions of dollars
to defeat prohibition Mr Herwig
stated that the outlook has never been
more hopeful in the state. He declar-
ed the recent action of the San Anto-
noi convention is “reacting on the sa-
loon interests and brewery control of
that body and creating sentiment all
over the state for the absolute over-
throw of liquor politics in Texas.’
TEXAS EDITORS HEAR ADDRESS j
BY C. H. ABBOTT OF TELE- I
PHONE NEWS.
Associated Press
El Paso, Texas, June 8.—Raising the |
question of proper relations between j
the corporation and the newspaper,'
Charles H. Abbott, associate editor of.
the Southwestern Telephone News, of
Dallas, declared, in part, before the
annual convention of the Texas Press
Association here today:
“The newspapers of the state owe
it to themselves to become better ac-
quainted with their corporations if
they are to perform their highest func-
tion. As representatives of their read-
ers it is their duty to protect the pub-
lic from exploitation and error and so
to help the southwest develop along
the right lines.
"When the editors of Texas become
acquainted with the big companies op-
erating around them they will under-
stand much that is hidden from them
now. Only as editorial policy is made
to conform to a more accurate appre-
ciation for true facts can the applica-
iton of sane popular judgment to the
solution of public problems be expect-
ed. And there—nowhere else—lies
the simple answer to many of the
questions which now confront the
state, complicated laws and involved
theories notwithstanding.”
Mr Abbott declared that the public
interest and development of the latent
resources of the state and advance-
ment of individual communities de-
pends very largely on the breadth of
the consideration given by editors to
corporation problems. There are at
least two sides to every controversy.
And the newspaper, he said, which is
very close to being a public utility it-
self, owes it to the public to reflect
conditions in the light of a thorough
investigation in which all phases of
the issue are indicated.
'These editors,” he continued,
“should qualify themselves as to be
able to distinguish, as well as between
right and wrong, expressions of sen-
timent toward public companies, as
between good and bad corporations.
This can only be brought about by the
exercise of discrimination based upon
knowledge. Knowledge of this kind
can only be obtained as a point of con-
tact and common confidence is estab-
lished.
“There must be some one within the
corporation who fully appreciates the
rights of the public, and understands
conditions under which newspapers
are published, to represent the news-
papers there. This must be a man
known to the editors of the state, one
in whom they can repose their trust.”
Death at Pooiville.
Mrs. Dan Hamilton, aged 45, died at
her residence in Poolville Wednesday
night after a few day’s illness from
penumonia. The death of Mrs. Ham-
ilton was very sad, as she leaves sev-
eral small children, besides her hus-
band, to mourn her loss. The funeral
occurred Thursday afternoon, inter-
ment taking place at Nelson grave-
yard, near Reno.
