Wilcox and He'rr Enter
Selling Field With Case
Howard Wilcox and Don Herr,
known to all followers of automobile
raoing. have taken over the distribu
tion of Case cars in the State of In
diana. These two well-known auto
mobile racing drivers for many years
liave had the opportunity to study the
needs of motor construction; hence the
opinion of Mr. Wilcox of the new
i Vise Forty is of deep interest. In
speaking of the Case car he says:
"We have been multiple cylinder
ndvocates, but have always been par
tial to the four-cylinder motor, owing
lo our connection with them in the
contest lield. In view of the fact that
the gasoline and lubricating oil mar
ket has been steadily increasing and
will continue to increase, we have been
waiting lor the development of a four
cylinder car that would meet all the
detailed requirements that our judg
ment foresaw, and take pleasure in
saying that the Case four-cylinder
40-horsepower auto, we believe, is the
last word in automobile construction,
and lias proven to be an economical
car when fuel costs are considered.
"We have arranged for a conserva
tive number of these cars, to handle
in connection with the White car,
which we have had for the last year,
and which is also a four-cylinder car.
We intend to place these cars in the
hands of the most exacting buyers who
are now looking for a four-cylinder
car which has embodied in its con
struction mechanical superiority over
the present-day six, eight and twelve
cylinder autos.
"We do not think that the per
formances of this car can be dupli
cated except in cars costing SSOO to
in excess <>f its price, and feel
that it is partially due to the long ex
perience of seventy-two years of the
Case Company in the manufacturing
business that they are able to place
this car on the market for the ex
ceptionally low price of $1,090."

Riot Bus For Getting
Policemen on Job Promptly
A hurry-up wagon which lives up to
the name—that describes the latest
; attachment to their Indian motor
| cycle brought out by the Ilendee
j Manufacturing Company, of Spring
field, Mass. Among its advantages are
the ability to get through street traffic
which would delay a motor car, giving
the patrol the speed of a motorcycle
and carrying capacity for three men
and even four when tandem seat. Is
used. The low platform makes it pos
sible for patrolmen to jump on in
stantly and for the apparatus to get
under way as swiftly as any part of
the fire department's equipment. This
light machine will also take less room
in storage than horse and wagon or
auto.
The engine is the Powerplus motor
like the one which carried "Cannon
| ball"' Baker on his record-breaking
dash from the Canadian to the Mex
ican line. 1,655%-miles, in 3 days 9
hours and 15 minutes two months ago,
giving assurance of power and speed
which can be depended upon in emer-
I gencies.

No definite announcement was

was generally understood that Brig.-

of the general operations which it is 1
expected will involve the use of three
or more columns.
In Reply to U. S. Request
to Send Troops, Carranza
Asks Some Permission
By Associated Press
Washington, March IX.—General
Carranza, through Consul Silliman
lias asked the American government
for permission to send Mexican troops
across the border and into the United
States in pursuit or bandits.
Consul Silliman transmitted the fol
lowing communication dated at Guad
alajara, March 10, which was handed
to him by Jesus Acuna, Carranza min
ister for foreign affairs. It is a reply
to the American government's repre
sentations for permission to pursue
the Villa bandits with American force.
Kegrct Massacre
"In reply to your courteous note,
dated yesterday and transmitted to
day, through John W. Belt (Silliman's
secretary) i have the honor to inform
you that having brought the above
note to the attention of the first chief
of the constitutionalist army and de
pository of the executive power or
Mexico he has directed nie to say to j
you, to the end that you may, in turn,
transmit it to the Department of
State of the American government,
that he learned with regret of tlw la
mentable incident which occurred in
the town of Columbus, N. M., of the
assault it suffered yesterday from the
bandits led by Francisco Villa.
"That although there has been a
competent number of forces in the
State of Chihuahua to re-establish or
der and afford protection to nationals
and foreigners, ever since Francisco
Villa appeared in the mountain of the
State, at the request of the governor ol i
the State and of the constitutionalist!
consul in El Paso, Texas, the first
chief ordered the timely departure of
2,500 men commanded by General
Buis Gulerrez with instructions to ac
tively pursue the bandits who had
just crossed the line into American
territory, which they undoubtedly
diJ, compelled by the tenacious pur
suit of the above mentioned forces. j
Comparable to Indian Balds
"The above lamentable incident Isj
similar to the. incursions Which were
made in the States of Sonora and CJii-j[
jhuahua by Indians from reservations!
of the government of the United States, j
j incursions into the State of Sonora\
occurred more or less about the yeari
1880 when Geronimo, the Indian chief j
who died not many years ago in Fort
I Mount, Ala., led a number of men i
jand invaded a part of the north of the|
State of Sonora. committing many!
! murders and depredations of life and j
j property of Mexican famililes, until j
1 ! after a long and tenacious chase by j
! j American and Mexican forces the
| band of malefactors was annihilated
! and its chief was captured,
j "The incursion into Chihuahua led
! by the Indian chief, Victoria, com
manding about 800 Indians took place
. | between the years 1884 and 1886.
Then the bands of marauders commit
j ting also many crimes went into the
country as far as the villages of Te
:joloch|c or Tres Castillos, ve:y nearj
I fhe capital of Chihuahua and during
'the first formal encounter between
I them and Mexican forces, after hav
ing lost their chief, they were dis
persed.
Freely Cross Border
"In these two occasions through an
agreement between the two govern
ments of the United States and Mexi
co it was decided that the armed force
lof one and another country might
j freely cross from the territory of one
| to the other in pursuit and fo rthe pur
jpose of punishing the above named
bands of marauders. Recalling these
incidents and the good results for both
. countries on account of the above
i agreement, the government presided
over by the lirst chief, anxious to ex
terminate with in the least possible
time the hordes led by Francisco Villa,
who has been recently placed beyond
the law, resorts to you as confidential
agent and addresses the government
of the United States, requesting the
necessary permission for Mexican
! forces to cross the American territory
if the incursion which took place in
Columbus should, unfortunately, be
repeated In any other point of the
.boundary line. The Mexican govern-j
i ment would great appreciate a prompt
and favorable reply from the govern
ment of the United States.
"Please accept, Mr. Confidential
Agent, the assurances of my high con
• .liberation.
