Washington, May 10.— President Wil-
son’s call to the Democratic party to
carry the treaty ratification issue into
the campaign, drew expressions today
from two members of his own party,
Bryan and Senator Reed of Missouri,
and from Senator Johnson of Colifor-
nia, lender of the Republican irrecon-
cilable group.
Reed declared such a platform would
meanthe loss to the Democrats of every
state north of the Mason and Dixon line
and the breaking of the solid house.
Johnson said he could respect the Pres-
ident ’s consistent advocacy of unre-
served ratification and he had no re-
spect for men whose views shifted with
the varying of popular winds.
Bryan reaffirmed his declaration for
immediate ratification by Republican
and Democratic friends to keep it out
of the campaign and said Wilson’s de-
mand was the finest scheme of pre-
meditated political success devised.

went to join Willinm E. Gooch in catch-
ing fish at Lake Worth, which is a 25-
mile stretch of water. Messers Garrett
ami Gooch are champion bullfrog hunt-
ers, but went out Saturday to try for
fish. They caught one fish weighing

not to play hog, but to quit and leave
some fish for the next fisherman. They
had all the fish they wo ed to eat and
came home.
In fishing for bull frogs they arm
themselves with a bull’s eye lantern, a
gig or a net and cateh the frogs without
difficulty. They lave been known to

More than four inches of rain fell
here in ten hours Sunday night mid
Monday morning. The rain began fall,
ing about 10 o’clock Runday night and
kept it up until after sunrise Mondny
morning. The rain was accompanied
by n heavy electrical storm.
On account of the approaching rain
one clureh dismissed the congregation
n little ahead of time Sunday night in
order to allow the attendants time to
I get home before tho flood gates wC,
opened.
The rain poured in torrents for an
hour or more, then there was a ceasation
and some heavy thunder and then there
would be heavy rain for another hour
or more.
The creeks and branches were soon
out of banks and for a time it was
thought houses would be washed away,
but fortunately there were no big losses
such as occurred ten or twelve years
ago.
East and West Buffalo creeks boomed
and muddy waters rolled seaward to the
amount of hundreds of thousands of
tons, enrrying away the richness of tke
soil ever n radius of many miles.
Weather Observer Ownsby stated that
the government gauge showed that a
total of 4.04 inches of rain fell hero in
less than ten hours. This is the heav-
iest rain in this section for th* past six
years. It will mean much to the farm-
All members of the Cleburne Country
club are directed to a rule of the elub
which forbids the taking of a game fish
from the lake which is less than ten
inches long. This huas been a long-
standing rule and is a requirement of
the government for clubs which receive
shipments of fish from the government.
It is very important that this rule be
strictly observed and the holder of the
stock membership is held responsible
for the infringement of this rule by any
member of his family or guest.
The directors at a meeting Monday,
May 10, made a rule that no one per-
son could tske more than ten game fish
from the lake during any one day, that
ia, within any twenty-four hour period.
By game fish is meant bass or erap-
pie. The above rules, therefore, do not
apply to any other kind of fish
The committee wisles to call special
attention to members that infringement
of either of the above rules will be pun-
ishable by a $10 fine or forfeiture of
mem bership.
O. H. POOLE, Chairman.
LEE YATER.
The big road bond case, which was
assigned for hearing in the district
court on Monday, May 10th, was post-
poned on account of the illness of W.
M. Odell, one of the nttornews in the
ease. Mr. Odell is saidto be suffering
from a light attack of flu. The jury
was dismissed.
Association. The 1920 convention is
being held at Waco now and J. D. Wil-
son of Cleburne will make a strong bid
for the convention. The assistance of
the Rotary Club, the Retail Merchants
Association and Mayor Mitchell and the
city council will be naked in extending
an invitation to these people to hold
their next convention here.
An active campaign will also be in-
augurated to secure new members.
President Bradbury was authorized to
appoint a committee of three to plan
this campaign.
The following matters will have im-
mediatne attention: The erection of
the new $200,000 hotel, the paving of
the streets, additional train service in-
to Cleburne, street sprinkling, installa-
tion of cluster lights around the court-
house, the building of a grain elevator
nnd a cotton mill.
Committees have already been ap-
pointed on the above matters and the
chairman of the several committees
will be asked to get their committees
to work and endeavor to bring these
projects to a successful conclusion.
Current bills for April were approv-
ed and ordered paid.
At 4 o’clock Monday afternoon Har-
old L. Paisley and Mrs. Lillian Moore,
of Fort Worth were united in marriage
nt the Johnson county courthouse, Judge
O. O. Chrisman performing the cere-
mony.
The groom showed sentiment not of-
ten encountered in courthouse mar-
riages. After the ceremony he excused
himself for a few minutes, walked over
to a local bank and secured a five dol-
lar gold piece which he presented to
Judge Chrisman for performing the
ceremony. One seldom sees gold pieces
now and the faet that (he marriage fee
was paid in gold shows that the groom
believes in the sacredness of marriage
and leaves behind a talisman of good
luck—a five-dollar gold piece—worth1
its weight in purehasing value any-
where in the world.
Mr. Ponder of Alexandria, Louisiana,
has arrived and it was said Monday
that he would be checked in today as
manager of the Western Union Tele-
graph1 Company to succeed Mr. J. D.
Oden, who has been manager here for
several weeks. It is understood that
Mr. Odon will return to the Dallus of-
fice, where he was before coming to
Cleburne. He made a good showing as
manager and he made a number of new
friends here.
Mr. Ponder is a married man and will
move his family here, it is said, and
will become a permanent resident of
Cleburne. He and his family will be
welcomed to this city.

all revolutionary commanders that Car-
ranza, if captured, should be treated
with all consideration and taken to

Washington, May 10.—Mexico ‛s lat-
est revolution, after getting under way
with a remarkable absence of fighting,
apparently has not been without blood-
shed. From behind the veil obscuring
events of the last few days are begin-
ning to trickle stories of wholesale po-
litieal executions and counter execu-
tions. Carranza is variously reported
captured, in flight or in hiding.
Revolutionists control Mexico City
and most Mexican cities, while Ameri-
can warships and marines continue to
move into strategic positions. The de-
stroyers Putaam and Isherwood have
arrived in Tampico and report the situ-
ation quiet there. Tho destroyer Case
has reached Vera Crux nnd the Dale la
en route to Tuxpam. The eruiser Dol-
plin nlso has reached Tampico with
ample accommodations to take off all
Americans, if necessary.
Three additional destroyers were or-
dered to accompany tho battleship Ok-
lahoma to Key West, ready for duty in
Mexican waters.
The last report from the American
embassy in Mexico City said quiet pre-
vailed Saturday morning after the de-
parture of Carranza with “no unusual
disorder. ” The only untoward inci-
dent, the report said, was the capture
of one of Carranza’s trains on Friday,
in which there were several casualties.

The members of Pnt Cleburne camp
No. 88, United Confederate Veterans,
and their friends enjoyed a picnic at the
U. C. V.park cast of the city on Satur-
day. Tin1 committee collected $118.15
in cash, mid secured n donation of 125
pounds of beef and $30 worth of gro-
ceries, nnd there were other donations
which accounted for a most enjoyable
menu nt tle dinner hour.
Several very interesting addresses
were made. The principal address was
made by Hon. Finis E. Johnson, who
spoke on “Wars, Ancient and Modern”
and brought out as a climax the lick-,
ing of the Germans, the knockout blow
being mainly delivered by Ur de Sum’s
valiant soldiers. This address made a
big hit with the old veternns.
Capt. M. J. Doyle spoke on the “Pro-
gress of the South and Southern Hospi-
tality nnd the Bravery of the Southern
Soldier.” His address was also well
received.
Rev. V. D. Kidd spoke on “Valor of
Southern Soldiers and My Experience
in the Civil War.” His address made
a pleasing impression on the men who
wore the gray and bared their breasts
to shot and shell.
The picnic was as big a success as
the Christmas tree, given in December
and the old soldiers went kome. happy.
Capt. Hooker asked for an expression
from the picnic attendance with refer-
ence to attending the Mother’s Day
services at the First Baptist church in
a body. The soldiers were pleased to
receive the invitation and all agreed to
attend the services Sunday morning in
a body.
Capt. Hooker said Monday that the
old soldiers greatly enjoyed the ser-
vice. He also said that a small amount
of money had been left over from tiro
picnic. This was used in purchasing
a se: oi -lothes for Comrade W. M.
Hewitt who will go to the Confederate
Home at Austin at once. He will be
given a little money and a railroad
ticket. He will be well provided for
at the Home.
Cleburne is now patroness of big-time
vaudeville, having been placed on the
Panatges circuit through the untiring
efforts of Manager James of the Yale.
The opening bill was given May 10th.
A superb company of excellent ar-
tists five nets—gave the people of Cle-
burne three highly pleasing perform-
ances at the Yale Monday at 4, 7 and
9:15 p. m., and the same artists will put
on three entertaining performances to-
day at the same hours as on Monday.
Manager James kas been working to
one end—to give Cleburne people the
best in the matter of entertainment that
the country affords, and having the
good fortune to get the Yale on the
Pantages circuit this means that twice
a week theatre-goers here will enjoy a
program unexcelled in any part of the
country.
The program Monday consisted of
five top notelers, opening with the
three Mori brothers, giving Japanese
pastimes. The performers wore gor-
geous Japanese costumes and showed
what training would do for the feet.
The Moris opened Japanese parasols and
tossed them about more nimbly with
their feet than most people could with
their hands. They also juggled with n
metallic barrel with* their feet and spun
it around and tossed it about as if it
were a feather, ofen keeping time on
the barrel with their feet distinct
enough to be heard all over the audi-
ence. They also did some clever bal-
ancing and tumbling acts that were
highly appreciated by the audience
The Japanese are noted for being adepts
in athletic sports and the Mori brothers
uphold the traditionc cf thei native
land.
Bert Stoddard, portraying the part of
the forgetful teacher, showed that he
was a musician of exceptional training.
He played special selections on violin,
cello and mandolin and was called back
several times, ami won liberal applause.
Eldridge, Barlow and Eldridge in an
net entitled “A Rural Delivery,” fur-
nished lively amusement, consisting of
clever singing and dancing and repar-
tee. The audience showed in an unmis-
takable way that it enjoyed the act of
this trio.
Austin Goatz nnd Fay Duffy captur-
ed the audience in carrying out a mis-
sion, both being manufacturers of mel
ody nnd mirth, and they sandwiched in
n variety of oddities.
They are musicians, singers and danc-
ers, and in a telephone act they show
how love is made when the light is
burning on the board. The audience
called them hack a number of times and
each time there was an outburst of ap-
plause.
The closing act was under tke direc-
tion of Henrietta De Serris. This is n
living art production from the Drury
Lane Theatre, London,land Keith’s
Palace Theatre, New York City. They
portray famous works of art, including
bas reliefs, paintings nnd statuary,
There are fifteen selected professional
models from the Academy of Sculpture
and the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Bros
sets. The scenic effects and colorings
made this production very pleasing. The
nudience showed marked appreciation
of each of the scenes and gave vigorous
applause. This is one of the best acts
of the kind ever seen here.
Following is n list of the living art
productions given:
1. “Priam at the Feet of Achilles,”
bas relief after Rude.
