Submits to Further Cross-Examination
at Syracuse.
By Associated Press.
Syracuse, N. Y., May 17.—William
Barnes resumed the witness stand to-
day to submit to further cross-exami-
nation by John M. Bowers, chief coun-
sel for Theodore Roosevelt, who Mr.
Barnes is suing for libel. He followed
a number of former members of the
state legislature, who gave testimony
regarding the deadlock of 1911 over
the selection of a United States sena-
tor.
One of these witnesses, W. M. Keyes,
said he talked with Mr. Barnes about
the senatorial situation and quoted Mr.
Barnes as saying it would be a good
idea if the Republicans would stand
with the Democratic insurgents to
elect an independent Democrat. Sev-
eral other former legislators gave tes-
timony of a similar nature.
POSTMASTER TO HELP.
Under the plan adopted by the post-
master general for opening accounts
by mail an intending depositor, re-
siding where there is no regularly
designated postal savings bank, will
apply to his local postmaster, who will
see that necessary identification data
is prepared and forwarded to a nearby
post office authorized to accept depos-
its. The intending depositor will then
be given permission to forward his first
and subsequent deposits by money or-
der- or registered mail direct to the
postmaster at the banking point for
Which receipts or certificates will be is-
sued. He may withdraw all or any
part of his postal savings by mail
and on demand together with any in-
terest that may be due him.
The new leaflet points out that any
person ten years old or over may open
an account in his or her own name;
that an. account may be opened by a
married woman free from control or
interference by her husband; that post
office officials are forbidden to disclose
to any person, except the depositor,
the amount of any deposits; that with-
drawals may be made without previous
notice; and that the government guar-
antees to repay all deposits on demand
with accrued interest.
A leaflet will soon be printed in 22
foreign languages for distribution
through local post offices. The foreign-
born citizen has taken very kindly to
postal savings, and literature in his
own language will be of great assist-
ance to him. In a recent article, Post-
master General Burleson commented on
Thaw’s Attorneys to Seek Hearing On
Sanity in' Court.
By Associated Press.
New York, May 17.—A legal contest
over postponement was considered
likely today when Harry K. Thaw’s at-
torneys appeared before Supreme Court
Justice Hendrick to show he is now
sane. It was understood Frank K.
Cook, representing the state in an ef-
fort to have Thaw returned to Mat-
teawan, would ask that the hearing be
Every person in the United States
ten years old or over may open an ac-
count in a postal savings bank after
July 1st, according to an instructive
leaflet on the Postal Savings System
just issued by Postmaster General Bur-
leson. This important extension of the
service will be made possible by per-
mitting persons living in communities
so sparsely settled as not .to justify
the designation of their local post of-
fices as regular postal savings banks
to open accounts by mail.
Governor Dockery, third assistant
postmaster general, who has direct su-
pervision of postal savings, was so
impressed by appeals from all over
the country to open postal savings ac-
counts by mail that he took up the
task some weeks ago of working out
a feasible and safe method for meeting
a demand well illustrated in a letter
from a Saline county Missourian, who
resides many miles from a postal sav-
ings bank.
“Having a few hundred dollars saved
from fifty years of hard and assiduous
labor and skimping economy on the
part of my wife and myself, we con-
cluded to deposit it in the postal sav-
postmaster at that place and received
reply to the effect that none but
patrons of that office could deposit in
that office, which is very disappoint-
ing news to us. Our little farm is
large enough to support us and land
is so high that it is impossible for us
to buy more with what little we have
saved, and we are so old that we can’t
labor much now and we would be so
glad to lay by at least enough to put
us away in decency.”
resent almost every known occupa-
tion—professional men, theatrical peo-
ple, mechanics, laborers, fishermen,
pack peddlers. etc. But the major-
ity are wage-earners, and of this class
the foreign-born largely predominate.
A census of depositors taken by the
post office deportment shows that ap-
proximately 40 per cent (200,000) of the
depositors are foreign-born citizens and
they own more than 50 per cent of
the deposits—splendid evidence of the
confidence of our newly acquired citi-
zens in the ability and good faith of
their adopted country to fulfill its ob-
ligations.
“There is another reason which led
immigrants, unfamilar with our lan-
guage and business methods, to turn
to the government to safeguard their
humble savings and that reason is the
disastrous experience many of them
have had by the failures of bogus “pri-
vate banks” officered by swindlers of
their own tongue who have preyed
mercilessly upon their loneliness and
credulity.-”
Postal savings receipts have broken
all records the past year. During the
eight months prior to April 1st there
was a net gain in deposits of $19,000,-
000, as against a gain of $8,000,000 for
the same months the year before.
Thousands of new accounts have been
opened and the millions made up large-
ly of hidden savings have been turned
back into the channels of trade just
at a time when there was pressing de-
mand for everydollar.
On May 1, 1914, the Galveston postal
savings accounts numbered 260. with
net balance on deposit of $25,862.
On May 1, 1915, the number of de-
positors was 329 with a net balance
on deposit of $38,136.
This shows a substantial increase
during the past year over the year
previous.
Amount deposited during April,
A 1914 .......................$3,646 00
Amount deposited during April,

The deposits in postal savings are
gradually increasing.
Ministers May Secure Him for Big
Union Revival.
At the Monday morning meeting of
the Galveston Ministerial association
the evangelistic committee reported it
was in correspondence now with Dr. J.
Wilbur Chapman with a view of get-
ting him to come here and conduct the
proposed union evangelistic meetings
later in the year. The committee also
reported that Dr. Geo. W. Truett could
not come to Galveston at the time de-
sired.
After the opening prayer by Rev. C.
Bunse this morning a paper was read
on “The Perils of the Minister of the
Gospel” by Rev. A. D. Moehle. It was
followed by discussion.
Present at the meeting were Revs.

El Paso, Tex., May 17.—General An-
tonio Villa, a minor commander and a
brother of the northern leader, was
shot through the head and probably
fatally wounded, and seven men were
killed, among them some Villa offi-
cers, as the result of a political dispute
in a public place at Chihuahua city last
night, according to reports reaching
here today.
The Rosenberg library announces a
lecture on “World Peace” by Dr. David
Starr Jordan at the library Saturday,
May 22, at 8 p. m.
In recent years Dr. Jordan has given
much of his time to the study of peace
problems, to which he has brought a
trained scientific mind. Indeed, it was
his studies in science and human evo-
lution that led him to a firm belief in
a higher development of human nature
that will find war unnecessary.
Dr. Jordan’s eminence in so many
lines make him widely known and
looked up to as a great authority in
those subjects toward which he has
directed his study. Since the founding
of Leland Stanford Junior university
until 1913 Dr. Jordan was president of
that institution.. Since 1913 he has
been chancellor, an office which has
given greater freedom and more time
to devote to speaking and writing for
the furtherance of world peace. He is
chief director of the world peace
’foundation, estableshed by the late
Edwin Ginn of Boston with a bequest
of one million dollars, and is now lec-
turing throughout the country for the
Carnegie endowment for international
peace.
His coming to Galveston at this time
with his great message is a notable
event and it is anticipated that the
numbers who will wish to hear him
will tax the seating capacity of the
lecture hall. The lecture will be free.

Villa Said to Be Preparing for General
Retreat.
(Pan-American News Service.)
El Paso, May 17.-—It is reported here
that Villa has sent eleven military
trains north from Aguascalientes to
Chihuahua preparatory to a general
retreat of all his forces from the
south. This news has caused Villa
currency to drop to three cents on the
dollar here.
Having met nearly every day dur-
ing the past week there was very little
business to be taken up by the board of
county commissioners at this morn-
ing’s session.
On motion of Commissioner Hartel,
the county auditor was instructed to
prepare a list of all the blank books,
stationery, forms and the like that
would be used by the court house of-
fices during the balance of the cur-
rent fiscal year and advertise for bids
for supplying the same or such portions
of the amount advertised for as might
be required by the various offices; by
the same order the county auditor was
instructed to keep in his office a sup-
ply of such stationery, etc., as might
be needed and furnish it to the differ-
ent offices on proper requisition. It is
estimated that by this plan of whole-
sale buying, the county will make a
material saving on its stationery bill.
Supplementary bills were ordered
paid by warrant amounting to $190.75
on various accounts and $462.60 to Har-
ris county for the care of boys from
Galveston in the South Houston train-
ing school.
The Quarterly report of State and
County Tax Collector Fred T. Gloor,
showing the collection and disposition
of $12,952.28 was referred to the coun-
ty auditor.
A copy of Dr. Cox’s letter which he
is sending to all state legislators,
touching the better care of the insane,
with particular reference to thos econ-
fined in county jails, was presented
and ordered received and filed.
The chairman of the boulevard com-
mittee was given authority to dispose
of the brick which had been replaced
on that driveway by other material.
Commissioner Boddeker was entrusted
with the task of disposing of seven-
teen oil heaters which the county had
purchased for heating the county jail
during the time the heating boiler was
out of commission last winter.
The county clerk was instructed to
advertise a notice to the effect that
the county board of equalization would
begin its sizings on Monday the 31st
and continue from day to day until all
business of that nautre had been dis-
posed of.
The jail committee and county au-
ditor were empowered to take up with
the sheriff the matter of working the
county convicts in the county jail yard.
It was suggested by Commissioner Bod-
deker that he had some suggestions by
which he believed the plan could be
made operative. The committee will
report back to the board, outlining its
plans.

Washington, May 17.—The relations
of labor and the law were inquired
into again today when the federal in-
dustrial relations commission resumed
its hearings. The witnesses included
Clarence S. Darrow, labor attorney;
Walter Drew, chief counsel for the Na-
tional Erectors’ Association, and James
A. Emery, counsel for the National As-
sociation of Manufacturers. Their tes-
timony probably will conclude this
phase of the inquiry.
The commission tomorrow will re-
sume its examination of correspond-
ence passing between John D. Rocke-
feller Jr. and Ivy L. Lee. This corre-
spondence, made public by the com-
mission yesterday, relates to the broad
“educative campaign of publicity” con-
ducted by Mr. Lee for Mr. Rockefeller
in connection with the Colorado coal
strike. The letters include those which
Chairman Walsh of the commission
claims prove that a communication
written to President Wilson by Gov-
ernor Ammons of Colorado was pre-
pared under Mr. Rockefeller's direc-
tion.
Mr. Drew, in a statement, urged in-
corporation of labor unions, which, he
said, were able to evade legal respon-
sibilities. He defended the use of in-
junctions in labor disputes as neces-
sary to deal with boycotts and sympa-
thetic strikes. The charge that Amer-
ican courts have administered unfairly
the laws in labor cases rests only on
the constant statement and re-state-
ment of those whose effort is to avoid
the equal enforcement of law, he said.
When employers in times of labor
trouble are unable to get protection
from the regular authorities, it be-
comes a duty and a necessity, Mr. Drew
said, for them to take “such measures
as may be at hand for such protec-
tion.” ,
“The employer,” he continued, “must
rely in such cases on such hired mer-
cenaries as he can find.”
Armenians Said to Have Rebelled
Against Turks.
By Associated Press.
London, May 17.—A dispatch to the
Times from Cairo says it is reported
that the Armenians in Zeitun and
Cilicia, asiatic Turkey, has risen and
that two Turkish reserve divisions are
required to meet situation. Armenian
newspaper, the correspondent avers,
give harrowing details of a massacre
of two thousand Armenians by Kurds
or Turks in Trans-Caucasia.
Teutons Prepared For Her Entrance
Into the War.
By Associated Press.
London, May 17.—A dispatch from
Amsterdam says the North German Ga-
zette, commenting on the fact that
Signor Salandra remains premier of
Italy, writes as follows:
“This bowing before the popular
fashion is of the greatest significance.
We must be prepared for a fateful and
perhaps premature decision. To be
ready is everything. We are ready.
We have not had to fear a united Italy,
and an Italy disrupted by revolution
will only be dangerous to herself.”
The Berlin Tageblatt says it appears
now that the entrance of Italy into the
war, so long depired by Foreign Minis-
ter Sonnino, can hardly be prevented.
eightieth anniversary of the establish-
ment of the order, will take a down-
town route, according to an announce-
ment made this morning by A. Ziegle-
meyer, one of the committee in charge
of the affair. The parade will form at
Twentieth and Market streets, and
will proceed down Market to Tremont
street, and from that point, south to the
Boulevard. Dr. H. O. Sappington will
be marshal of the parade, which it is
intimated, will be of unusual interest to
the "Pale Faces,” as the uninitiated are
called by the members of the organi-
zation, as a very elaborate affair has
j been planned.
Will Be Used in Advertising Galveston
and CarvinaL
The small lithographed “stickers” or
stamps advertising Galveston and car-
rying pictures of different scenes typi-
cal of this city, several thousand of
which were ordered several weeks ago ■
by the publicity committee of the Gal-
veston Commercial association, arrived
this morning. The stamps are hand-
some affairs, about one and one-half
inches wide by two and a half inches
long, depicting the following scenes:
Seawall and beach; map of United
States showing Galveston the gateway
of the west; Hotel Galvez; wharf and
elevator scene, showing the loading of
wheat on an ocean-going steamer;
bathing girl and beach scene, and
“Galveston, the World’s Greatest Cot- ’
ton Port,” showing the loading of cot-
ton. The stickers arc intended to be
stuck on the backs of letters, on grips
and suitcases, and other conspicuous
places, where they will advertise the
advantages of Galveston, and are gum-
med on one side for the purpose.

“He got hit in the jaw and it broke
his leg,” was the statement made by an
ambulance driver today, about a man
who is said to have been injured in a
fight in a downtown saloon about 2
o'clock this afternoon. The injured
man was rushed to a local hospital,
where it was found that after being
struck a severe blow on the jaw, he

its character.”
The navy, he added, brought the
United States in touch with the rest
of the world. Secretary Daniels was
warmly praised by the president. Un-
der him the president said, the navy
had become more and more efficient.
The secretary, he declared, had his en-
tire support,
"The navy of the United States,” the
president said, “expresses our ideals.
The fleet lying here at New York is:
a great fleet, and has nothing of blus-
ter about it.
“The great thing about America is
that it wants no territory and ques-
tions no other nation’s honor. We
stand for humanity, and for the things
that humanity wants.”
Speaking of the flag, the president
asserted that it typified all that was
best in the world.
“The mission of America,” he went
on, "is what her sailors and soldiers
should think of. They have nothing
to do with shaping of policies. Some-
times the persons who run the United
States forget the principles it was .
founded on, but the people themselves
never forget.
“When a crisis occurs in this coun-
try it is as if you put your finger on
the pulse of the nation, as if you put
your hand on the pulse of a dynamo.
“We lift no threats against any na-
tion. This fleet in the river is a great
solemn evidence that the force of
America is the force of moral prin-
ciple. There is nothing else for which
she will contend.”
At the conclusion of his address,
President Wilson left the hotel to in-
spect the fleet lying at anchor in the .
Hudson river.
According to Pure Food Inspector T.
J. League, the cases of _ some seven or
eight local dealers, convicted and fined
in corporation court on charges of hav-
ing violated the pure food regulations,
are scheduled to come up on appeals,
in the counts" court at law, May 25 and
27.
In practically every instance where a
dairyman or other dealer was fined
in the city court for an alleged viola-
tion of the pure food law, notice of ap-
peal was given. These cases are the
result of a persistent campaign con-
ducted against dirty and unsanitary
food shops by the Woman’s Health
association, with the cooperation of the
city health department
