mixed up in a laughing happy
confusion. Milwaukee's socialist
citj government here tonight con-
ducted tire first municipal dance
ever seen in America. And it
was a huge success.
More than 2000 i>ersons attend-
ed as dancers and spectators.
There were no "wall flowers." More
than 100 -society men who entered
heartily into the spirit of the oc-
casion saw to that. They introduced
every one to every one else and many
a man to whom a dollar is as big as
a cart wheel “balanced' the corners"
or swung in the waltzes with women
who spend more each week for frip-
peries than he could earn in a year. .
Hardly had the orchestra of expen-
sive musicians —paid by the city-—
struck up their first strains than the
people began to arrive. Factory girls
resplendent in their very best -nd
with their beaux at hand trooped
the big- city auditorium and with them
tame many a "Miss Million bucks”
whose chauffeur opened the door of a
$lOOOO automobile for his mistress
and her escort at the door of the hall.
Mayor Presides.
Smiling all over Mayor Seidel
whose socialistic brain
idea of the municipal dance was one
of the first to arrive and close on his
heels thronged the city’s aidermen and
officials from every branch of the
municipal government Governor-elect
McGovern was represented by William
I. Essman his campaign manager and
the Y. M. C. A. the Y. W. C. A. the
heads of labor unions in the city and
the membership of the most exclusive
clubs turned out en masse.
Veteran leads March.
But the grand march was the prize
package. Headed by 82-year-old Louis
W. Vizay. who for many a year taught
the budding army officers at West
Point how to trip the light fantas-
tic the long line of strangely mixed
paraders swung around the big hah.
Second in line was Mayor Seidel next
came the representative of the gover-
nor-elect and a long the line of
marchers the laugh and jest were ex-
changed between clubmen and work-
ingmen and rich women and toilers
as though the socialist’s dream of
Utopia had in truth become reality.
That the affair was a great success
everyone agreed and the administra-
tion which was present in a body
was delighted.
Seidel Makes Speech.
Between dances short talks were
given by various members of the so-
cialist council and the promise was
made that more events of the kind
would be arranged possibly with one
every two weeks.
That the paternal touch was there
camo out when Mayor Seidel talked
for ten minutes to the wildly ap-
plauding throng."
“You will do well to go home alter
the dance” said the mayor. "It is
closed early tor that purpose. What
the dance is for is to provide you rea-
sonable amusement in reasonable
hours. We are all happy now don’t
let us be unhappy tomorrow.”
“We have not solved the social
problem. We are just making an ex-
periment” said Mayor Seidel when
the dance was done in answer to a
question as to what the socialist ad-
ministration expects tc accomplish oy
their innovation.
Move For Purity.
"The municipal dance” he contin-
ued "is intended to furnish whole-
some and legitimate amusement to all
save women known to be dissolute and
to those who are intoxicated. They
will be barred. All others will be wel-
comed. The modernity has deprived
our voung people of many things that
they need to properly develop. It is to
furnish these things in an atmosphere
free from vice that the socialist muni-
cipal government will intervene.
“Our administration feels that It
must throw protection about the
young. The man woman or child
who has worked sixty hours a week
penned up under the eye of a fore-
man or a boss needs relaxation. The
dance hall operated by unscrupulous
people is not a fit place to find it.
Will Continue.
Our municipal dance is for the pur-
post of furnishing clean amusement
under wholesome conditions. The
people young and old will be given
the greatest . possible latitude and
eventually I hope to see the municipal
dance widen to a self-sustaining basis
and that then there will be added
other features such as special enter-
tainments. dramatic vocal musical
and anything of interest along the
lines of art.
“Social purity means morality."
concluded Mayor Seidel “and that is
what socialists are trying to bring
about with its initial attempt by its
dance tonight.”

IT WAS AN ELOPEMENT
Young Couple Are Expected In
San Antonio This Week
On Their Honeymoon.
Homer Goodman son of C. Good-
man of 2 421 North Flores street who
left here several weeks ago in search
of business for a local advertising con-
cern will return this week with a
bride formerly Miss Lorena Wiley
of Frankfort Ky. with whom he
eloped Monday in the romantic man-
ner usually ascribed to Texans who
figure as short story heroes. News of
the marriage reached here yesterday.
Miss Wiley was a belle of the his-
toric little town in which stands the
suite capltol of Kentucky whither
Goodman wandered in his prosaic
pursuits and Cupid worked overtime
after the young Texan-met her. Fear-
ing parental objection the young cou-
ple fled to Jeffersonville a little town
in the Blue Grass much fequented by
the lovelorn and were married.
The Frankfort State Journal in
commenting upon the wedding credits
the San Antonian with being a rapid
appreciator of Kentucky beauty and
says other nice things about the young
man and his bride in the following
comment:
“Mr. Goodman came to this city
several weeks ago as the special ad-
vertising agent of the Bonner Bank
Advertising company of San Antonio
and while here met Miss Wiley and
their friendship ripened into a case
of love followed by their elopement
to Jeffersonville that haven of all
lovesick swains.
"Mr. and Mrs. Goodman returned
to the city Monday evening to re-
ceive parental forgiveness and bless-
ing. and will leave this morning for
Lexington where Mr. Goodman is do-
ing special advertising work.
“Miss Wiley is the pretty young
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Wi-
ley of East Main street and her
brightness and beauty have made her
one of the most popular girls of her
set.
“Mr. Goodman's hustling business
qualities while here at work won for
him the admiration of the business
men in the city and their friendship
as well and he and his bride have
the heartiest good wishes and con-
gratulations of all.”
The young people are expected to
arrive in San Antonio on their honey-
moon this week.
IS MADERO IN TEXAS
RE-FORMING FORGES?
Leader of Mexican Rebels Has Cross-
ed Rio Grande and Plans Another
Attempt Against Government.
United Pres*.
Laredo. Tex. Nov. 26.—Fran-
cisco I. Madero leader of the
revolutionary faction in Mexico
is now on United States soil with
a band of his followers. This in-
formation declared to be author-
itative received here tonight
puts at an end the mystery of
the whereabouts of the rebel
commander. The message fur-
ther declares that Madero is re-
organizing his forces and will
again cross the border to resume
activities within a short time.
While Madero's camping place Is
said to be but 50 miles from Eagle
Pass Tex. and on the Rio Grande
river it has not been learned whether
there is any truth in reports that he
was wounded during the fighting in
the state of Chihuahua. Mexican
scouting parties have not been able
to definitely locate the insurgent
band.
Capt. J. H. Rogers of the Texas
rangers returned here today from a
scouting trip up the Rio Grande and
said he had found a camp of a lajge
force deserted but a few hours and
that he believed it to have been the
camp of Madero's band. The halting
place was on the Texas side opposite
San Enrique ranch owned by an
uncle of Madero.
Crossing over the river. Captain
Rogers located a man at the ranch
who insisted that he had seen a note
signed “Madero" sent to the foreman
of the ranch ordering him to turn
over all horses on the ranch under
penalty of death.
All Mexican outposts along the Rio
Grande reported a quiet day and de-
clare that general order has been re-
stored among the peons who threat-
ened to join the rebels

Son of William G. Rockefeller Shown

He is Favorably Impressed.
THE MERGING OF INTERESTS
Some of the Rockefeller mil-
lions may go to the development
of the coast country of Texas if
the plans of B. F. Yoakum rail-
way wizard are brought to frui-
tion.
Percy Rockefeller son of Wil-
liam G. Rockefeller owner of the
Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad has seen the Browns-
ville country and is so impressed
with*the possibilities that some
of his father’s money is
likely to in development
work.
Brought with other capitalists by
Col. H. F. Yoakum to see for himself
exactly what are the conditions in the
great belt the heir to millions is said
to stand ready to back his judgment
with his money though whether in
railway or land development remains
to be decided.
Neither Col. Yoakum nor Mr. Rock-
efeller would Indicate in which di-
rection the investments would go. yet
it is believed that the son of the own-
er of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St.
Paul came on a deal which may mean
a junction between the interests of
the Rockefellers and those of the
Hawley-Yoakum people.
Party Here.
Col. Yoakum and his uarty reached
the city yesterday morning at an early
hour coming via special train from
Corpus Christi. In the party aside

dent of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St.

that road and Messrs. Birch and
Adams capitalists of New York city.
Mr. Earling and his party continued

EVIDENCE THAT
RASCOE KILLED
FAMILY FOUND
Maryville Mo. Nov. 26. —The in-
dignation against Hezekiah Rascoe
alleged slayer of the entire Hubbell
family near Barnard Mo. which had
subsided was again renewed tonight
until it has -reached almost mob spir-
it as a result of the finding late to-
day • - the shotgun which the au-
thorities declare to be the last link
in the chain of evidence against Ras-
coe. The alleged murderer is in jail
at St. Joseph and it is probable that
he will be given preliminary hearing
there so general haB the feeling
against him become.
The shotgun of the same bore of
a shell found at the Hubbell home
was found late this afternoon hidden
in the hay loft of the barn at Ras-
s parents' home near Guilford by
his father. Both bagrels had been
tired and the stock of the gun was
covered with blood and dried portions
of flesh. It was this gun. the author-

capitalists in the party were more
than pleased at the possibilities along
the Brownsville road and throughout
the coast country was iterated sev-
eral times. Mr. Rockefeller made the
statement that he expected to become
interested in the gulf coast country
and Messrs. Birch and Adams agreed
vtth him that there could not be a
better section of the country in which
to place their money it big returns
were an inducement.
"I believe that Mr. Rockefeller will
see the advantagas along the Browns-
ville road.” said Col. Yoakum. "He
and the others have been prasing the
country ever since they started in to
make the trip and now that we are
returning north 1 think that before
long there will be some Rockefeller
money working in this section.”
Mr. Yoakum Proves Reticent
Col. Yoakum was asked if he had
definitely decided to abandon the pro-
posed road into San Antonio connect-
ing with tha Brownsville road. He
laughingly declined to discuss that
matter saying he preferred not to be
quoted in any way. Similarly he
laughed away any questions regarding
the projected building of a line be-
tween Matanjoras and Tampico to
connect with tfce Gulf Coast line and
thus to give a short line to Mexico
City.
Discussion then turned to the fa-
mous “I & G. N. bill." as passed by
the recent special session of the legis-
lature. On this matter. Col. Yoakum's
sentiments are well known a letter
having been given to the press short-
ly after the passage *in which he said
that it would retard railroad building
in Texas. Col. Yoakum last night em-
phasized what he had said in that let-
ter.
“Understand me.” said he. "I do not
intend to criticize either the bill or its
authors or those who passed it. I
simply regard the measure as ex-
tremely unfortunate —unfortunate that
it should have been introduced at all.
and unfortunate that it should have
been passed with the provisions em-
bodied in it. There ought to have
been some way to prevent the bill
coming before f?.e legislature.
“I regard the law as a discourage-
ment. and a Ng one. to any railroad
development in this state. All the
eventuates ought to have been con-
sidered in a case which involved as
much as did this one. It was really
an unfortunate thing that the bill
came up at all. and I am candid in
saying that I believe it will retard
railroad building even more than any-
one .-an foresee at present"
During yesterday Mr. Yoakum and
some of his party were guests at the
home of Sam Bennett being taken
for an auto ride about the city.

of the meeting were harfhonious.
The chief contest which itself wa.

Austin Tex. Nov. 26.—0. B. Col-
quitt governor-elect of Texas tonight
announced the first batch of appoint-
ments to be made by him when he
takes office. There were some sur-
prises.
The new governor will make a
clean sTTeep of the board of regents
of the state university with the ex-
ception of George W. Brackenridge
of San Antonio. He will not reappoint
Fred C. von Rosenberg commissioner
of insurance and banking this place
going to B. L. Gill of Kaufman
county the old home of Mr. Colquitt
but retains in office Dr. John Pres-
| ton of Caldwell county as superin-
tendent of the state insane asylum.
| Dr. Preston was a Campbell ap-
। pointee.
J. F. Carl of San Antonio will*uc-
ceed C. M. Chambers as assistant dis-
■ trict attorney for Bexar county. This
office was created under the Camp-
| bell administration and will be con-
tinued. Mr. Colquitt has however
i assured the people of San Antonio
that there will be no more visits from
the rangers.
All the appointees are said to have
j accepted. With the exception of those
already named the appointments an-
nounced tonight are:
Private secretary to the governor
I J. T. Bowman of Travis county; mem-
I bers board of regents state university:
I Clarence Ousley of Fort Worth. W.
| M. H. Burgess of El Paso. W. L. San’
i ford of Grayson county W. H. Stark
lof Orange George W. Brackenridge
1 of San Antonio.
Other Plums to Fall.
With the giving out of these ap-
pointments comes reliable informa-
tion as to others to be made by the
new governor. According to predic-
tions. John L. Wortham of Houston
Colquitt’s campaign manager will be
named railroad commissioner to suc-
ceed Colquitt. Henry Hutchings ad-
jutant generah and Ben Cabell of
Dallas and Robert Brahan of Hunts-
ville penitentiary commissioners.
Neither Cabell or Brahan shone
conspicuously in the fight for peni-
tentiary reform and their appoint-
ment. whatever else It may mean can
hardly be construed to portend the
carrying out of Campbell policies.
As to the third member of the
board of commissioners it has been
Insistently rumored that the plum
would go to Senator F. C. Weinert of
Seguin and the senator has done
nothing to put a stop to the rumors.
Those who prophesy his appointment
however overlook the constitutional
difficulty of naming a legislator to
an office he helped to create. It was
this same difficulty according to
those closely in touch with inside
state political history that prevented
John A. Mobley from being named
commissioner of insurance and bank-
ing to succeed William E. Hawkins.
Many Want Beckham.
The appointment of Gen. Henry
Hutchings as adjutant general to suc-
ceed J. O. Newton has been expected
since he announced his candidacy for
the place although many guard offi-
cers have urged Col. R. C. Beckham
quartermaster of the guard to be-
come an applicant for the position.
The appointment of General Hutch-
ings while it will please his many
friends in the guard and outside of
that organization will carry with it a
bitter disappointment to those who
have known Beckham than whom
there is no more capable officer in the
National Guard.
Judge George Clark of Waco was
offered an appointment to the hoard
of regents of the university but de-
clined owing to ill health after long
consideration. The appointment of
Ousley has been expected since Col-
quitt was elected.
In naming new state officers the
governor-elect has not neglected to
reward those who took up the cudgels
in his behalf ijuring his campaign
and ingratitude is a charge no one
has made bold to prefer against him
in discussing the appointments.

St. Louis Nov. 26.—Despite open
protest against President Taft’s water-
way policies which injected discord
in the two cays' meeting of the Lakss-
to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway associa-
tion. the convention refused to go on
record as antagonizing the president
before adjournment here tonight.
The more conservative delegates fin-

a resolution deploring the Taft atti-
tude as dilatory and unfriendly to the
[champions of a greater inland naviga-
ble system. Mention of the chief
executive was drowned in jeers and

lows:
"We are compelled to deplore the

in finally appointing a board pro\“d
unfriendly to our policy and to our
