There were originally several hun-

notmuch of such grain has thus far
been shipped, though emergency low
state rates were allowed some two
months ago. It has been over five
months since the grain was damaged,
and whether all of the grain is still
worth salvaging is said to be a ques-

'‘Blackie” Williams Most Desperate of
Those Who Escaped.
Little Rock, Jan. 22.—“Blackie” Wil-
liams, former member of the William
La Trasse gang whose chief is being
sought today by Chicago .police, is
armed with a high-powered rifle and
shells, according to Warden Bailey of
the state convict farm at Cummins.
Williams, considered the most desper-
ate man at the farm, was among the
24 men who escaped Wednesday night.
Ten of the fugitives had been captured
at noon today.
A negro at noon today told Warden
Bailey that Wiliams, whom he said he
knew, had entered his home and had
carried ■ off a 30.30-caliber hunting-
rifle and cartridges.
Wardens have started an investiga-
tion to learn whether the delivery was

The immigration authorities recently

was an officer in the Confederate
army during the civil war and was a

New York, Jan. 22.—Capt. William H.
Offley, chief of the local bureau of in-
vestigation of the department of jus-
tice, has received a letter from Igna-
tius Trebich Lincoln, the confessed
German spy who escaped from a
United States deputy marshal last Sat-
urday, in which the writer offered to
surrender at once if guaranteed im-
munity from prosecution on the
forgery charge which caused his arrest
last August.
Lincoln, a Hungarian, but a natural-
ized Englishman and a former mem-
her of the British parliament, contend-
ed after his arrest that the British au-
thorities did not wish to try him on
the forgery charge, but to execute him
for his former espionage work in be-
half of the German war intelligence
office. It is suspected his offer of
surrender is conditional on a guarantee
from the United States that the recent
order for extradition be revoked.
The government agents suspect that
Lincoln was being harbored by mem-
bers of a secret organization of Euro-
pean political exiles known to the po-
lice as “group B.” This organization
some years ago successfully interposed
to prevent extradition of Jan Pouren,
wanted in Russia on a charge of mur-
der, but whose return to that country
was desired, the organization claimed,
for political reasons. The government
agents said that during Lincoln’s con-
finement in jay, he had been visited
by members of the organization.
morning, 9:30 o’clock, on the fourth
floor of the Cotton Exchange building.
This will include the Citizens’ Protec-
tive Committee.
The purpose of the meeting Monday,
as announced today, is to adjust, if
possible, differences in the views of
committeemen in favor of a temporary
bridge to be commenced at ance and
the views of those who fear that build-
ing of this bridge now might delay
permanent work on the storm-dam-
aged causeway. The idea is to secure,

Berlin, Jan. 22.—By wireless to Say-
ville.—“The Austro-Hungarian official
press bureau,” says the Overseas news
agney, “announces that the laying
down of arms as agreed upon by the
Montenegrin government is meeting
with difficulties and that the general
disarming of the Montenegrins will be
delayed, this being due principally to
the long distances over which the sol-
diers have to travel and to bad com-
munications.
“The press bureau also says that the
delay is due in part to the national
peculiarities of the Montenegrins who,
ignoring the general situation, do not
know whether or not they are expected
by their government to continue the
war on their own account.
“The Austro-Hungarian government,”
the press bureau adds, "appreciating
these circumstances has granted time
to the Montenegrin governmetn so that
it may get into communication with the
reluctant part of the population in or-
der to bring about a systematic sub-
mission.”

Industrial Alcohol rose 2 points to 168,

state body would say that they were in
any danger and needed the lawyer, he
would take the matter under advise-
ment.
“The committee, after their ball upon
the governor, reported the matter back
to those at the meeting and were au-
thorized to stay in Austin until yester-
day morning, when they met with the
members of the Railway commission
and presented the matter verbally to
them. The members of the Railroad
commission asked them to present the
case to them in writing, which was
done.
“While there has been no definite
assurance given, it is generally under-
stood that the State Railway commis-
sion will recommend to the governor
that an appropriation be allowed for
the purpose of employing the lawyer.
“The briefs in the Shreveport case
are to be filed with the Interstate
Commerce commission by Feb. 6. An
application has been made by the
Houston Chamber of Commerce to the
commission asking for an extension of
the time for filing the briefs until
March 15. In the meantime, Judge W.
F Gray, who represented that city at
the hearing in Houston, has withdrawn
from the case, and so far as can be
learned, none of the other cities of
Texas, with the exception of Galveston,
have started to prepare briefs.
“The brief of the Galveston Com-
mercial Association in the case is well
under way and will be filed by Feb. 6,
provided no extension of time is al-
lowed.
"Appfication was made by the Hous-
ton Chamber of Commerce to strike
out certain exhibits of the railroads’
which were presented at the Houston
hearing, and made a motion, that, in
case this request was not granted, that
a further hearing be held.. This was
denied by an order of the commission,
which was issued Jan. 10.
“Under an order of the commission,
the rates included in the Shreveport
order were suspended for three
months; since that time, a further
extension of six months has been grant-
ed. This time will expire July 28, and
as the suspension cannot be extended
further, under the statute, and with
the great amount of work before it, it
is not likely that the Interstate Com-
merce commission will grant any fur-
ther time in connection with the case.”
Stimson and Root Both Endorse Garri-
son’s Scheme.
By Associated Press. -
Washington, Jan. 22.—Two former
secretaries of war, both under Repub-
lican administrations today endorsed
Secretary Garrison’s army program.
Elihu Root, in a letter read before
the National Security league said:
“There are good things in Secretary
Garrison’s plan. The danger of them
would be progress in the right direc-
tion.”
Henry L. Stimson, in a speech advo-
cating compulsory universal military,
service endorsed Secretary Garrison’s
plana as "sound and intelligent,” and
advocated its adoption “provided con-
gress is not ready to sanction univer-
sal training.”
Maj.-Gen. O’Ryan, commanding the
national guard of New York, thought
much recent criticism of the national
guard had ’ been foolish and hurtful;
that congress, under the constitution
could prescribe regulations to make
the guard an adequate force for de-
fense, but failed to exercise its rights
and should be made to do so.
Senator Root’s letter indorsed Secre-
tary Garrison’s contention that the na-
tional guard could not be depnded on
for the army increase.
“It is idle,” wrote Mr. Root, “to talk
of developing the National guard itself
into an adequate army for national de-
fense. The national guard are primar-
ily state troops for state purposes and
they must continues to be so.

J. W. Daley, division freight and pas-
senger agent of the International &
Great Northern railroad, told today of
the movement, now under way, of
heavy shipments of steel billets from
Monterey, Mex., to Galveston. The
shipments are being made via Laredo,
Tex., on the border, whence the move-
ments are being made over the Inter-
national & Great Northern to Galves-
ton.
Between 2,000 and 4,000 tons of these
steel billets were recently booked for
rail shipment from Monterey via Laredo
to Galveston, Mr. Daley said, and a
number of carloads have already been
received here. The shipments are be-
ing made on local bills of lading to
Galveston. It is understood that the
Fundidora company of Mexico is mak-
ing the shipments, and that there is
considerable activity in the smelters
around Monterey.
The interesting feature of this story
is the fact that Mexico, where internal
revolution is still smouldering, is ap-
parently supplying munitions of war to
the allies across the water. Locally
the Texas Transport & Terminal com-
pany is handling the shipments for ex-
port from Galveston.

program that is directed toward the
goal we ought to attain—a trained and

diery under the instruction and admin-
istration and formative leadrship of an
adequate, though small regular army.’’
Proposals for a consolidation of all
the military preparedness organiza-
tions under the auspices of the Secur-
ity league were being discussed infor-
mally today by delegates to the meet-
ing, but nothing was done toward def-
inite action.
It was suggested also that speakers
might be sent out through the country,
principally the sections where the re-
sponse to the preparedness movement
has not been marked. The plan was to
work on a nonpartisan basis, asking-
Republicans and Democrats of prom-
nence to make speaking tours, and it
was suggested that Gen. Luke E.
Wright, former secretary of wap
might head the campaigners. Robert
Bacon, Mayor Mitchell of New York
and Jacob M. Dickinson, former secre-
tary of war, also were suggested.
The amalgamation policy was seri-
ously discussed and there were some
indications that it might be included
in the action of the resolutions com-
mittee tonight. The preparedness or-
ganizations, such as the Navy league
and the Army league, and all the others
would retain their individuality under
the plan, which would eliminate dupli-
cations of work.
Boy Scouts, “better soldiers in mili- I
tary maneuvers than many suburban
military companies,” already are an ef-
fective neucleus for a future American
army, Maj. Gen. McAlpine, president of
the Boy Scouts of the United States,
told the league in a letter read today.
“Should the nation need these young
men within a few years for its defense
they will find a well trained body to
depend upon,” he wrote. “Should their
military service not be needed the na-
tion will be the better by from one
million to five million young citizens
who will have been taught self-control,
self-respect, honor and patriotism.”
H. H. Haines, traffic manager and
secretary of the Galveston Commercial
Association, returned this morning
from Austin, where he has been at-
tending a conference of those interest-
ed in the Shreveport case. In speak-
ing of the meeting this afternoon, Mr.
Haines said: “There was an excellent
attendance at the meeting, about 60
traffic men being present, and resulted
in an appeal from those at the meeting
to the governor for funds with which
to employ an attorney to prepare a brief
in the Shreveport case, for the cities
of Texas.
“I voted against this resolution,”
continued Mr. Haines, “because I did
not believe that -the state should have
to bear this expense and because I
think the cities concerned are amply
able to take care Of the matter them-

meeting reached the governor, he
stated that he had no authority to au-
