Warns Americans to Leave.
Washington, Aug, 27.—Presi
dent Wilson tonight warned all
Americans to leave Mexico at
once. At the same time the
American embassy and all con
sular representatives through
out the Southern republic were
instructed to “notify all officials,
civil and military, in Mexico,”,
that they would be held strictly
responsible for harm or injury
done to Americans or their prop
erty.
Secretary Bryan dispatched
long telegrams to the embassy
and all consular representatives
quoting extracts from President
Wilson’s address to Congress to
day in which he reviewed the fu
tile peace negotiations with the
Huerta government and the poli
cy the United States would pur
sue hereafter toward Mexico.
In these messages the consuls
were instructed to render every
aid possible to departing Ameri
cans. furnishing transportation
and any other pecuniary assist
ance to the needy.
TO NOTIFY FOREIGN GOV
ERNMENTS.
Foreign governments will be
notified of the action of the
United States so that they max
give similar adx-ice, but the
American consuls will he'p all
foreigners in any emergency.
Within a day or two an an
nouncement is expected of the
mobilization of a large number!
of American troops along tne
Southern frontier to enforce
neutrality in the traffic of arms
and munitions of war- Presi
dent Wilson was in touch with
Assistant Secretary Brecken
ridge of the War Department to
night, but the nature of his com
munication was not revealed.
It is believed the president not
only is preparing to strengthen
the border patrol, but also de
sires the strictest vigilance by
troops already watching the in
ternational boundary.

J. C. Herron Files Suit Again.-t
Members of Methoftist Church
For .$2,161.65.
•J. C. Herron filed suit in the
Jackson circuit court Wednes
day through his attorneys Grant
& Mack against T. P. Umsted.
('. M. Erwin, A. T. Hubly.
George R. Hays, Fred R. Suits.
H. G- Drummond, 0. \V. Scar
borough and C. E. ('rook, mem
bers of the Met ho ■'
Church, South of this city, ask
ing for $2,162.65 alleged to he
balance due him on the church
contract.
Plaintiff in his petition recites
the terms of contract, that
building was to cost $13,360 ac
cording to the plans of George
M. Bonnell, that plaintiff was to
be paid 85 per cent of estimates
made twice a month, alleges
that he had completed 81.5 per
cent of the job when compelled
to leave the building, that with
$325 additional cost by reason of
substitution of better grade of
building stone, he was due from
the church $11,213.40. of which
$9050.75 has been paid. Plain
tiff asks judgment for balance of
$2,162.65 with interest from
May, 1911.
The members and building
committee of the church feel
that they are really the aggriev
ed parties in this contract and
litigation and will resist the suit.
White River Very Low.
The water in the river here is
lower than it has been for many
months, and it is said the people
are able to ford the stream right
at tne terries in sume ^
The low water is due to the jU
making of some dams up the E
river, one at Branscomb, Mo.. g
that has just been completed.'g
And the fact that there has been 0
so little rain during the past few g
months is also helping to make g
the water low. People who g
watch it say that there is just g
barely enough fresh water to
supply the fish. — Batesville s
