sweetheart that young -woman. Miss
Amanda Montgomery attempted to
commit suicide j yesterday by talcing

She stated that she did not want to re-co-er

unsatisfactory.
An Arrest.
Sam Johnson charged with aiding and
abetting in the killing of Emll Kat-
zenstein was arrested at San Marcial
last night at 7 o'clock by deputy sheriff
Romero as he walked into the saloon
owned by Harvey Richards. He "had
been noticed a few miles out at a ranch
and other neighboring places and his
arrest was delayed in an effort to as-
certain if his companion Frank Schmidt
alias Conway would rejoin him. Sheriff
Sanchez and a party after hard riding
contributed to the arrest having forced
Johnson to the wall. The arrest of the
ether man is expected shortly.
Carefully Guarded.
Johnson was brought to Socorro from
San Marcial by deputy Romero who
was joined at San Antonio by sheriff
Sanchez and his party who had contin-
ued in their search for Schmidt. John-
son is now in the county jail here. There
was some fear of mob violence at So-
corro but this was quite unwarranted
and the march from the train to the jail
was quite ordinary but all precautions

Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard and

MILITIA APPEALED

Palestine Texas July SO Meagre re-
ports received here by telephone from
that section between Elkhart and Slo
cum today state that fifteen negroes
and two whites -were killed in a race
riot which became general following
trouble between. a vthite man and a ne-
g;ro growing out of an attempt of a
white man to collect a debt he said the
negro owed him. Great excitement pre-
vailed in that section and the exact
facts are difficult to obtain.
Armed squads of white men are said
to be patrolling the roads and firing is
heard.
In return the negroes arc adopting
the guerilla methods of -warfare roam-
ing the countryside bushes in small
bands with arms ready to fight any
white man encountered.
Appeals have been sent to Austin and
messages received state that rangers
are now on the -way here.
Cooler heads among the leading citi-
zens here urge -that a company of state
militia be sent to avoid more serious
trouble. It is believed that this will
be done tonight. "Unless sober counsel
prevails there Is little doubt here that
many will be killed.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon between
200 and 300 men and youths started for
the scene heavily armed.

Dew is the English police officer who
made an examination of Dr. Hawley
H. Crippens home in London after the
disappearance of the doctors actress
wife Belle Elmore. He made an ap-
pointment to meet Crippen later but
before the date arrived the cellar of
the Crippen house unearthed the muti-
lated remains of a woman and Dr. Crip-
pen was a fugitive.
Inspector Dew probably is the only
man in America qualified to
say with certainty whether the
two suspects who mailed on the I
Canadian Pacific liner Montrose from
Antwerp on July 20 under the name of
John Robinson and John Robinson jr.
are Dr. Crippen and his typist Ethel
Claire Leneve.
Chief McCarthy of the Quebec police
who met Dew here today says he is
confident that the suspicions of the
Montrose's skipper will prove correct.

FOR POLITICIANS
Among Them Is One for
Hudspeth of El Paso for
Lieutenant Governor.
Austin Texas July 0. The prospect
of a hot summer in Austin is not pleas-
ing to the legislators. Many are leav-
ing today for coast resorts ta-cool off
Sunday.
Legislative "Boomlets."
The special session of the legislature
is developing a number of little "boom-
lets" which may grow and develop into
healthy ambitions at the state election
two years hence.
The most virile of them all seems the
one started by the friends of state sen-
ator Claude V. Hudspeth of El Paso
who is being urged as the most availa-
ble candidate for lieutenant governor
two years hence.
It has been suggested that the be-
stowal of this office would be a worthy
reward for Hudspeth as a result of his
activity in getting the Insurance law
repealed and at the same time a well
deserved compliment to the far west-
ern section of Texas which he repre-
sents. 'Win
But the most attractive plum which
will be shaken down in the near future
Js that of railroad commissioner which
will have to be filled by appointment
when O. B. Colquitt becomes governor.
Mr. Colquitt has already served notice
that he will not resign until he quali-
fies for governor. This will give him
an .opportunity of appointing his own
successor.
Charles Rogan former land commis-
sioner and R. W. Flnley former state
controller are among the names men-
tioned as portabilities.

In the Beaumont district. State senator
Harper elected as the antl-prohlbitlon-ist
candidate for the court of criminal
appeals has also been replaced by a
submissionist. This gives the submis-
slonists four senators when only one
was needed.
Tn vIpw nf tho cftrtaintv that thft nt I
legislature will order a prohibition elec- '
tion the indications are that the pres
ent legislature will provide for a consti-
tutional convention. This would have
the desired effect and might act as a
bar against the forthcoming legislature
doing anything drastic in the way of
regulatory prohibition.
Although all of the state officers
seem to be anti-prohibitionists even
the defeat of H. Bascom Thomas the
expelled senator now being conceded
the lawmaking body will be very de-
cidedly pro so much so that any bill
they desire may be passed over the
head of the governor.
Thus it would seem that the victory
was in fact one for the prohibitionists
and not one for the antis as has been
announced for it leaves the pios with

Forty Million a Year Go for

THIS IS ONLY
IN BIG CITIES
"Washington. D. C. July 30. More
than $40000000 in the larger cities of
the United States goes to pay liquor
license fees and then some.
The extent to which drinking men
help to pay the expenses of the gov-
ernment in cities is indicated by the
census report covering licenses for the
year 190S In cities of 30000 or more.
These figures show an aggregate of
$42000000 paid for licenses a gain of
$3000000 over the previous year. The
Increase is due to the large fees ex-
acted in most of the large cities. T:he
Mcenses of drinking places numbered 1
67131 a decrease In three years of about
4000. This is due largely to the fact
that a number of cities went "dry."
The states claiming the largest num-
ber of saloons to the total population
were Texas Wisconsin and New York
notwithstanding the large area of pro-
hibition territory in Texas showing an
unusually large number of saloons to
the population in the "wet" counties.

WORKMEN WEAKENED

Mayor of Juarez Places the Blame for the Accident in

Probing into the cause of the death-
IPC Santa Fe bridcre accident of Fri-
day has begun.
A commission of tnree. Mexican engi-
neers has been appointed by judge Mi-
randa of the Juarez district court.
Although no report has been made it
is understood' on good authority that
the cause has been learned at least
logically maicatea. it is oasea on a.
technical point of bridge engineering.

beam which rests crosswise the key of
a V between the two spans. This. ex-
perts say would warrant the collapse
of either span
This theory is carried out by the be-
lief of jefe politico Francisco Portillo
of Juarez he himself an engineer of
long experience. Mr. Portillo visited
the scene of the accident many times
and his inspection has resulted in the
theory that the key beam had been re-
moved. "I think that a new free bridge should
be built" said Mr. Portillo. "The two
federal governments should see to it.
I am sure that the Mexican government
will do its half share. There should be
separate ways for vehicles pedestrians
and street cars. As for the accident
the bridge will not be opened until we
are satisfied that It Is safe. Of course
ali that can be done now Is to repair the
bridge."
The Injured.
No developments have occurred as to
the injured. All but three cases have
been discharged from Providence hos-
pital. O. H. Scott the carpenter thrown
from the bridge by a beam is suffer-
ing from the injury to his back and can
only move In great pain. His ankle
also was slightly injured.

Madrid Spain July 30. Excitement
throughout Spain is intense over the
conflict rwhh the Vatican which cam
to a climax yesterday with the decision
of premier Canalejas to recall the Span-
ish ambassador to the Vatican.
Both the government and clerical par-
ties have accepted the challenge to bat-
tle and the situation complicated by
the intrusion of Don Jaime the exiled
Carlist pretender to the throne may
easily develop into an acute feature.
Already the government is taking pre-
cautionary measures and . prohibiting

with the Vatican and the prospective
fight with clericalism they predict will
