If you will consult the A. B. C. reports, you will find for your-
self just how much MORE local circulation the Tribune has than
any other Galveston newspaper.
For the information of the Galveston public, the Tribune again
calls attention to the fact that the individual statements of adver-
tising or circulation men mean nothing. The figures of the Audit
Bureau of Circulation, which audits the circulations of all newspa-
pers, and which statements are on file in all newspaper offices,
furnishes the only means for all advertisers to know what they
are buying.
In an attempt to secure classified advertising a local morning
newspaper feels constrained to make a misstatement of fact rela-
tive to its circulation.

The Tribune does not criticise any other newspaper for pub-
lishing want advertising without charge, or for printing the same
ads several times more than they are ordered, or for making a
cheap advertising rate commensurate with a small local circula-
tion, but it will not remain silent when a misstatement of circula-
tion is made. ' -
The Tribune is FIRST in LOCAL CIRCULATION as it is in
LOCAL ADVERTISING, and would welcome the publication of
the AUDIT BUREAU FIGURES.

The state law permits an automo-
bile to run at the.rate of 20 miles an
hour within incorporated city limits. If
a driver desires to go faster than this
he can take to the county roads, and
they are ip good shape for such a rate
of speed, and run thirty-five miles an
hour.. But when a driver, within the
city limits, insists on going forty-five
miles an hour, it is up to the traffic
officers to find out what it means.
Galveston streets are not built for
speedways, and this fact should be so
deeply impressed on the minds of local
Barney Oldfields that they will cease
their efforts at running their machines
at speed limit plus ten. Somebody is
likely to get hurt if this speed is main-
tained, and, unfortunately, it seldom
happens to be the person who is doing
the driving.

Tearing down one perfectly good
building to make space for the erec-
tion of a more modern structure might
appear to be a wanton throwing away
of money; but it only means that wher-
ever this transaction is taking place,
there is progress, there is growth,
there is enterprise. This is happening
so frequently in Galveston that there is
no escaping the evidence—the old town
is growing. Growing into larger busi-
ness quarters, into finer construction
ideas, into more comfortable and con-
venient business environment. And if
this does not betoken growth, then the
several hundred residences and homes
added to the city’s assets during the
past several months must surely prove
convincing.

Fort Worth, selected Wednesday by
chiefs of police and city marshals for
the next convention place, also won the
1924 meeting of the .Texas Sheriffs’
Association, which brought its three-
day session here to a close shortly aft-
er noon Thursday,
H. E. Nix of Greenville, sheriff of
Hunt county, was elected president by
acclamation and R. B. Watts of Lufkin,
sheriff of Angelina county, because
vice president. Accompanied by a
demonstration that attested her great
popularity with the sheriffs, Miss
Lydia M. Kirk of Austin was re-elected
secretary-treasurer for the thirteenth
time.
Appointment ‘of committee, adoption
of resolutions and committee reports
were other matters transacted in the
closing session. On report of the com-
mittee that viewed the demonstration by
Dr. R. E. House of Ferris of the use
of Scopolamin in relation to crimin-
ologly, given at the county jail Wed-
nesday afternoon, the sheriffs voted to
endorse Dr, House’s methods. Sheriff
Dan Harsten of Dallas county, who
had seen other experiments made with
the so-called "truth serum” strongly
favored action by ' the sheriffs and
spoke highly of it.
Sheriff Robert E. Kirk threw Gal-
veston’s hat into the convention ring
by asking the sheriff to give Galves-
ton another-chance at the convention,
promising that the sheriffs next year
would be given double the welcome
and entertainment provided for them
this year. Waxahachie also came into
the light as a contender for the next
convention.

Jersey City, N. J., July 12.—Two

far stretches of the Argentine, will
stake their pugilistic futures tonight in

setting of the arena at Boyle’s Thirty-

For Jess Willard, the man mountain
who held the championship of the
world from 1915 to 1919, it will be the
acid test in the comeback by which he
hopes to obtain a return match with
his conqueror, Jack Dempsey. For Fir-

London, July 12.—Col. Courthope,

providing that no ships be admitted
to English ports unless carrying liquor

Round by round returns on the

The main bout is scheduled to

The practice of applying domestic
rates to shipside warehouses on cot-

against warehouses which are not sit-

houses to the dock, rate men say.

THE WISEST plans fail, however,
when statesmen of an hour deal with
national feeling bred through cen-
turies. Differently treated, the Ger-
man empire that Bismarck made might
have fallen apart—religion, socialism,
communism, bolshevism and human
selfishness all helping.
But forcibly seizing and' exploiting
part of Germany has probably spoiled
Foch’s plans. Germany may, for a
century or two, gink into chaos and
despair, but she will go down hating
France and. planning revenge.
From the stiffest Protestant in Ber-
lin to the most ardent Catholic in
Munich; from the most miserable beg-
gar in the blackest German slums
to the all-powerful Stinnes himseit,
the deepest feeling will be hatred of
the nation that has enslaved and ruin-
ed a beaten enemy.

Birmingham, July 12.—Five men were
killed, and 35 injured, seven seriously
today when a train of trip cars car-
rying the morning shift to work parted
in slope mine No. 1 of the Sloss-Shef-
field Iron and Steel Company, near
Bessemer, Ala., according to reports
compiled from hospital lists and mor-
gues where the dead and injured were
removed. The dead and Injured were
all negroes.
The men were 1,400 feet below the
surface of the earth when a coupling
broke, according to reports received at
the company's office here. Twelve cars
were loosened and they went hurtling
unchecked with their load of human
freight for the remaining, 800 feet. The
cars struck the heading with a roar
that was heard to the surface, timbers
and buttresses being smashed - into
splinters. A number of the injured were
able to be. removed to their homes aft-
er first aid had been applied. 1
Number one is an ore mine on Red
Mountain.
The- decree making permanent the
injunction which is considered the most
widespread restraining order ever ob-
tained in the history of litigation, af-
ffects approximately 400,000 railroad
employes and officers of the shopment
and shopcraft concerned in. the strike.
The injunction was applied for by U.
S. Attorney General Harry M. Daugh-
erty on September 1, 1922, nearly two
months after the inception of the strike
The temporary restraining order was
handed down by Judge Wilkerson on
October 5, 1922 and today-made perman-
ent.
Theoretically the strike is still in
effect. The shopmen left their posts
of duty on July 1, 1922 when the U. S.
Railroad labor board ordered a cut in
their wages effective on that date. The
strike continued for more than two
months, during which time, according
to evidence introduced by the govern-
ment, widespread assault and in-
timidation of men who had taken plac-
es of striking shopmen occurred. In
some Instances troops were called out
to patrol railroad property and at oth-
er places special guards were hired
by the railroads to protect their prop-
erty.
The men returned to work in Septem-
ber on the basis of what was known
as the Baltimore agreement, .which was
entered into by 31 major railroads
of the country. The agreement left the
question of seniority, which was the
main bone of contention after the strike
had extended into a month, to a com-
mission to decide. The shopmen took
the cut in wages ordered by the rail-
road labor board.
