MOKE COMPLAINTS FILED
Collector of Customs Haynes and
United States Marshal Brewster
Have Charges Against Them.
Special Telegram to The Exprenj.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.—It is said on
the best authority that the Treasury De-
partment in a few days will send to La-
redo and Corpus Chrlatl an inspector to
Investigate certain charges whicli are
naid to have been brought against Col-
lector of Customs Haynes and United
States Marshal Brewster. The character
of these charges Is said to be in part per-
sonal and in part political. It is under-
stood they were laid before the Treasury
Department by the Department of Jus-
tice. Who the complainants are or what
specific acts are charged is not made
public here.
This makes three of the customs cal-
lectors on the Rio Grande against whom
complaints have been made.
The case against John W. Vann has
been closed and It Is learned he will not
be reinstated.
The Inspectors' report on the charges
against Collector Dowe are before the
Treasury Department, hut no Information
In the matter has been given out. The
impression prevails that the Inspectors
did not find a strong case against Mr.
Dowe.
Inquiry at the Treasury Department
regarding the charges against Collector
Haynes and Marshal Brewster developed
the fact that the collectors at Galveston
and El Paso were the only Texas customs
collectors against whom no charges have
been made.
A high treasury official volunteered the
statement that Collector Sharp of El
Paso has conducted the affairs of his of-
fice eo competently that the department
has decided to Increase the compensation
of his clerical force by 1700 a year.
Morgan Bought Caxtona.

in one parcel and a Urge aim was paid
for them.

LIBERTY WILL BE BRIEF
Alleged Night Riders Will Be Re-
arrested on Charge in Connec-
tion with Death of Rankin.
UNION CITY, Tenn., Dec. 4.—Carrying
out the mandate of Judge Mathews of the
Circuit Court of Davidson County, seven
of the eight men, alleged night riders,
who have been confined in the Jail at
Nashville, were formally given into the
Sheriff or this county this afternoon and
will be confined in the jail nere under
the guard of a. detachment of State troops
and civil officers pending th<- .)ualiri.a-
tlon oi their bondsmen and their release
under bond, as ordered by the Nashville
j court. This will probably occur tomor-
row, but their liberty will be short the
| State authorities having arranged for
! their immediate rearrest on new indict-
ments charging a capital offense, that of
having had a part, in the death of rapt
Qulnten Rankin at Walnut Log on Octo-
ber 19.
A crowd of several hundred persons
awaited the arrival of Sheriff Borum aftd
his prisoners, but no demonstration was
attempted, the formal transfer of the
men being without especial incident. The
men returned are Tom and Garrett John-
son, Bob Lee. Sam Applewhite, Lige C.
Lear. Bib Huffman and Roy Ransom!
The other man. Jess Carter, was too ill
ti.be removed from the Da-vidson County
Because of the indisposition of Attorney
General Caldwell, t.he grand Jury held
only a brief session today. The Illness of
Mr. Caldwell, however, is slight and the
inquiry will be resumed tomorrow, when
a number of additional Indictments will
probably be returned.
CHARGES OF ELECTION FRAUDS.
Eighty-one Indictments Are Returned
by St. Louis Grand Jury.
ST. LOUIS. Mo., Dec. 4.—The October
grand Jury returned Its final batch of
election fraud indictments today, eighty-
one formal charges being filed before
Judge Charles C. Allen.
The returns ail relnt* to the casta In
which answers have been made.
When The Daily Express yesterday an-
nounced its willingness to increase its
subscription $1000 provided nine others
who have pledged $10v0 or more would
add a like amount to their notes, the
nucleus was furnished for a movement
which is expected to bring final success
to the Brownsville Kailroad bonus cam-
paign by tonight.
Four others have already tentatively
agreed to join The Express in this plan
of winding up the campaign at once, and
it is believed that oanvassing today will
result in the full list of ten being sn urod,
adding $10,000 to the total and raising it
above the $10;»,ow mark, not counting
what other committees will gather in to-
day. 12 I his ;iew plan proves successful -
and President Mullaly of 11 >»• business
Men's L'iub is confident it will—th*i Busi-
ness Men's Club will be prepared to for-
mally contract with J. F. Edwards for
the construction of the road without fur-
ther delay.
Ready to Close.
Mr. Edwards says he is prepared to
bring his financial backers here within
ii week after Hun Antonio tells him def-
initely that tile bonus is ready, and has
an engineering crew already oigamzeu to
begin work on the survey at once.
'I he Importance of Tin* Express' plan
for raising most of the remaining money
necessary is apparent when it is retailed
that the campaign lias already extended
a week over the original time limit of
December 1. The Express is anxious that
the bonus bo completed without further
delay and earnestly desire* that the con-
tract bt let and construction begun and
pushed a.s rapidly as possible, for the
sooner San Antonio establishes the means
of holding and upbuilding it* rightful
trade territory, the bettor it will be for
the. city's future welfare.

DEPARTMENT KEEPS HANDS OFF
Will Not Intercede in Behalf of Dr.
Harle—Investigation Made.
Special Telegram to The Express.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 4.—The State De-
partment today refused to intercede for
Dr. Harle of Abilene, Tex., who is serv-
ing a sentence of twenty years for in-
surance frauds, involving tho poisoning
of a man In Chihuahua, Mexico. Harle,
with Richardson and Mason, was sen-
tenced to death in Chihuahua, but Gov-
ernor Creel commuted their sentence.",
last spring to a penitentiary term, and
they were sent to the Vera Cruz prison.
Dr. Harle wrote to the State Depart-
ment that he was being mistreated and
kept in an underground prison, and
could not live a year unless released.
Representative Stephens of Texas took
up tho matter with the State Depart-
ment, which investigated through Con-
sul Canada at Vera Cruz and found
Harle was not being mistreated and
in no physical danger. The depart-
ment thereupon advised Representative
Stephens It would not intercede in be-
half of Harle.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4. The attitude of
President Roosevelt and of Secretary of
State Elihu Root on the subject of woman
suffrage was disclosed today at a meet-
ing: under tlie auspices of the National
League for the Civic Education of
Women.
The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor of
the Outlook, In the course of an address
in opposition to granting the right to
vote to women, read a letter from Presi-
dent Roosevelt, which he said he read
with the President's permission, al-
though it was not written for publication
or for this occasion.
"Personally, ] believe In woman suf-
frage," says Mr. Roosevelt, at the outset
of the latter, which is dated November
9, 190s, "but I am not an enthusiastic ad-
vocate of it, because I do not regard it
as a very important matter.
"I do not see that there lias been any
special improvement in the position of
women in those States in the West that
have adopted woman suffrage, as com-
pared with those States adjoining them
that have not adopted It. l don't think
that giving the women suffrage will pro-
duce any marked improvement in the
condition of women. I do not believe
that it will produce a ay of U,« e> lis
feared, and 1 am very certain thai, women
as n Whole will not take *:;y special in-
terest in the matter
"They will have the suffrage If triey
desire It. But. at present 1 think that
most of them are hike warm; 1 find some
actively for it and some actively against
it. 1 am for the reasons above given,
rather what you would regard as luke
warm, or tepid. In my support of It, be-
cause, while i believe in ft, I do riot re-
gard It as of very much importance.
An Equality Right.
"I believe that man aud woman should
stand on an equality right, but I don't
believe that equality of right means iden-
tity of functions, and I am more and
more convinced that the great field, the
indispensable field, f<,r the usefulness, of
woman is as the mother of the family.
It is her work in the household, in the
home, her werk in bearing and rearing
the children, which )*• more important
than any man's work And ii is that work
which should bo nor.nally thu woman's
special work, just an normally as the
man's work should be that of tho bread
winner, the supporter of the home, end,
if necessary, the soldier who will flglit
for the home.
"There are except lone as regards both
man and woman; but the full, perfect
life the Ufa of highest happiness and of
highest usefulness to the State, is the
life of the man and Vomarn who are hus
band and witv, who live in the partner
ship of love and dirty, the one earning
enough to keep the home, the other man-
aging the home and the children. Sin-
cerely yours,
"THEODORE ROOSEV ELT."
Dr. Abbott, who was the principal
speaker at the meeting, argued against
what he held would be the Infliction of
new and unnatural responsibility and
•duty on women by forcing on thern tho
obligations of public life. The title of
his address was "The Assault on Woman-
hood."
Secretary of State Root, in a letter
which was read, says:
"1 do not myself consider that the grant-
ing of suffrage to women would under
existing conditions be any Improvement
over our system of government. On the
contrary, I think it would ratiier reduce
than increase the electoral efficiency of
our people. I am Inclined to think, how-
ever, that if the women of the l'nlted
States, or any very large majority of
them, should really c.onie to want the
right of suffrage for themselves, they
would ultimately gei it. For the purpose
of exercising the right of suffrage, if
they should ever get it, and for the pur-
pose of determining intelligently whether
they really want it. the women of the
country generally ought to have and io
seize the opportunity for a greater de-
gree of education on questions of gov-
ernment. and in the practical art of gov-
ernment than they have had up to this
time."
Richard "Watson Gilder, editor of the
Century Magazine, presided at the meet-
ing, and in the course of his address
said.
•Within a few years the country has
been shocked by the appalling increase
in divorce in the l'nlted States. In the
l ice of this lamentable showing of the
weakening of the home feeling and fam-
ily in America, it is reassuring to find
so many women willing to stand foith
and insist on the fact that the home and
the family are the foundations of the
best things that humanity has yet
achieved and to lift tip their voices
against what In their solemn belief is a
new. insidious and possibly disastrous
attack on the fundamentals of civiliza-
tion."

that a revolution has bcRun tn Salvador
under the leadership of a former Vied
President, Prudenelo Alfarro, and the
cities of Thuachapan, Usutlan and Santa

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Cablegrams
have passed between the State Depart-
ment and American Minister Furnlss at
Port-au-Prince which will govern his at-
titude during the transitory period
through which the affairs in Hayti are
now passing. From obvious reasons the
department officials decline to discuss
the instructions.
Mr. Furnlss is the dean of the diplo-
matic corps there, and, as American In-
terests In Hayti, politically, are greater
than the interests of any other country,
his views and suggestions are, expected
to have considerable weight in determ-
ining the future policy oi' the Haytlen
•Government.
Many Interesting questions will de-
velop, and Mr. Furnlss' advice and as-
sistance always will he at the disposal
of the new administration.
A careful and cautious policy that will
respect the foreign interests and reduce
to a minimum cause for complaints will
conduce much, it is said here, to a sta-
ble condition of affairs and render un-
necessary any interference by the Ameri-
can Government.
For the present the American war ves-
sels at Port-au-Prince will b«- kept there,
so that foreign interests will be pro-
tected in case of need.

PINE BLUFF, Ark., Deo. 4.—Seven
frame dwelling houses and a two-story
business building was the toll claimed
today by the encroaching waters of the
swollen Arkansas River.
The flood is eating its way across
Barranue and near Georgia Street, two
blocks east of the county courthouse, the
former danger point, which was relieved
when the current was deflected through
the dynamiting of the north bank of tha
river opposite this city, and thrown
against the Government dyke at this
point. whi( h was swept away last night.
Tonight the river is continuing to rise
plowly and the water is gradually under-
mining another dyke further east, which
will probably crumble before tomorrow.
Should this occur, the extreme eastern
section of the city, which has but recent-
ly been rebuilt following the destructive
