DURHAM VETERANS
Master Jack Coffey, aged four years
was seriously injured about G o'clock
Monday afternoon when the automo
bile of his father, Dr. Lawrence Cof
fey of Lenoir, turned completely over
while rounding the curve just beyond
Mr. G. H. Geitner's residence between
Hickory and the Catawba river, and
others in the party were slightly
bruised. Dr. Coffey. Mrs. Coffey, their
son Jack and 18-months-old baby and
Miss Fannie Costner, aged 15 years,
of Lincolnton were returning to Le
noir from Mount Holly. They were
driving a Ford.
Dr. J. H. Shuford was summoned
by telephone and he hurried out in
his large car and carried the injured to
the Richard Baker hospital, where at
tention was given them. Jack Coffey
fell under the Ford when it turned
over, his chest being crushed in, and
several ribs being broken. Unusual
to relate, he was not killed, but it was
feared during the night that he could
not recover. His condition was im
proved Tuesday, however, and Dr.
Shuford said he would recover.
Miss Costner, who is a niece of
Dr. and Mrs. Coffey, sustained a
bruised eye and fractured right fore
arm. Dr. and Mrs. Coffey wer bruis
ed and the baby, which was in Mrs.
Coffey's arms, escaped with nothing
more serious than a mouthful of dirt.
Dr. Coffey's machine hit the curve
too rapidly and the automobile ran
off and turned over. Had it been a
heavier machine, the result would
have been more serious, but fortun
ately all the occupants will recover.
TENSION RISES AND
FALLS ALONG BORDER
Brownsville, Tex., June 20. Ten
sion in the intertiatfoifal sStuiation
along both sides of the border in the
Brownsville district, rceently looked
on as the possible point of contact
of hostilities between the United
States and Mexico rose and fell with
the arrival of each bit of momentous
news along the American side of the
river.
After Brigadier General Parker an
nounced he was confident General Ri
caut would carry out his promises of
assistance in exterminating the ban
dits along the lower Rio Grande bor
! r, Mexicans began repairing their
damaged tracks on the international
bridgetorn up during the excitement
Saturday night.
Then came the news of the calling
out of all state national guards and
the recall of Consul Johnson from
Matamoros. Promptly Mexicans oper
ating on the south side of the river,
again tore up the railroad tracks and
for the second time built a barricade
of steel rails at a commanding posi
tion just off the south end of the
bridge.
A number of American ranch own
ers in the state of Tamaulipas asked
permission to visit their property on
the Mexican side. It was granted, with
the provisothat thev go unarmed. A
few who made the trip shortly after
returned to the American side.
It was reported here that two Mex
icans, wounded in the rear guard ac
tion with the Americans while with
drawing from Mexicans soil Sunday
morning, died in the Matamoros hos
pital. That would bring the total num
ber of dead in the engagement to four.

Since recess was taken three weeks
ago there have been three happenings
of great importance the naval bat
tle off Jutland, the allies economic

formation concerning thes matters and
in addition information as to Greece

ised for next month, and another vote
of credit is scheduled for August.

ion among the members of the cabin
et over the proposal for the settle,
ment of the Irish problem, which is
one of the most principal topics dis
cussed. It has been stated that the
Irish negotiations with the Irish have
been stopped for the present.
Deep interest was shown in today's
cabinet meeting at which it was ex
pected an attempt will be made to
reach an agreement.
Sunday a child of Oliver McGee

SPY SHOT
(By the Associated Press.)
Paris, June 20. The Greek spy
Condoyanirs, formerly an actor, was
shot at daybreak on May 20 in front
of the artillery targets at Vineennes.
He was condemned on March 16 for
giving the Germans information as to
numbers and. movements of truops in
France, and had since vainly exhausted
all means of appeal including that of
applying to the president of the re
public. On the morning of his execution
Condoyannis was wakened in his cell
at half past two and told that his
time had come. lie dressed slowly re
peating that he wanted to make furth
er statements, but interrupting him

guards "So vou insist that I shall be
shot?"
When dre.;sed, Condoyannis was
ordered into a wagon drawn by two
horses and was on a journey of half
an hour's duration to the "butts."
Getting out of the wagon he walked
firmly enough, the guards say, to the
wooden post at which he was to stand
to be shot, but kept constantly ex
claiming "J protest, I protest." While
was still protesting the guards began
to bandage his eyes, but Condoyannis
tore the cloth avvay saying he would
give the order to fire himself.

HUNGER CARRANZA'S ALLY.
El Paso, June 20. Hunger is swell
ing the army that General Carranza
is recruiting in northern Mexico in
preparation for possible hostilities
with the United States according to
stories brought here today by Ameri
cans arriving from the interior.
Peons who for some time have been
on the verge of starvation have been
flocking to his standards in return
for romises of food and clothing, it
was said. No applicants are being
rejected, boys of 12 years of age and
old men being enlisted.
One of the arrivals estimated that
there are 25,000 Carranza troops in
Chihuahua state, of which 12,000 prac
tically surround the American expedi
tionary command on the south, east
and west.
Both El Paso and Jaurez remained

FIRST TARIFF LAW
(By the Associated Press)
Constantinople, June 20. Turkey
is about to adopt its first tariff law
unhindered by foreign interference.
Up to the outbreak of the war the
government's hands were bound by
obligations undertaken in connection
with the public debt, so that it was
not able to change its tariff without
the consent of the great powers, which
found it to their interest to keep the
Turkish duties as low as possible. Turk
ish statesmen often pointed out that
the duties were too low to yield suffi
cient revenue, and the government
long demanded their consent for an
increase Germany gave its consent
about fifteen years ago, but England
and France refused till several years
ago, when they agreed to an increase
to eleven per cent. Soon after Turkey
joined the central powers and entered
the war, the government denounced
the so-called "capitulations", or
arrangements which gave the foreign
powers special rights in Turkey, in
cluding their control over the tariff
system.
After waiting more than a year the
government has now brought in a bill
for revising the tariff. It is, for most
articles, a very moderate measure,
fully two-thirds of the duties ranging
between only 10 and 15 - cent. Most
other articles range between 20 and
GO per cent, and a few are as high as
100 per cent. These highest duties are
intended for the protection of agricult
ure and some manufactured goods.
There is a small free list, which in
cludes school books not bound and
other educational supplies. Agricult
ure machcinery is also put on the free
list in the interest of the farmers.
Among dutiable articles there is no
uniform tendency to increase duties;
about one-sixth of the list shows even
lower duties than are now paid.
