RETURNS FROM DALLAS
POSTMASTER SMITH THINK8 RE-
PUBLICANS ARE LUCKY.
Declared They Hava Excellent Chance
to Elect as Governor John Simpson,
Democrat Chosen to Head Republi-
can Ticket—El Pasoan on Commit
tee and Elector.
Postmaster J. A. Smith returned
yesterday afternoon from the state
Republican convention at Dallas, and
gave out an interview shortly after
arrival. In which he declared that
John N Simpson, who, according to
Dallas dispatches, "is not considered
a Republican," has n excellent
chance to he elected governor of
Texas at the head of the Republican
ticket.
"There is quite a revolutionary feel-
ing In the Democratic ranks In North
Texas,’ said the postmaster, "and hy
<«'*org<, we might elect a governor.
We surely stand a show to elect him.
’There Is an awful feeling on the
prohibition question and on some of
the nets of Ihe last legislature. This,
coupled with an antl-Campimll senli-
metiT that surprised me In Its Inten-
sity and strength, certainly gives us
a good chance.”
At the Republican convention which
named Cecil Lyon- again ns chairman
ol the state executive committee,
Charles II. Stevens/was selected as
executive committeeman from this
soi^irlal district, and Scott White
wA^fciosen from this district as presi-
dential elector.
Considerable comment locally has
arisen over the nomination of a Dem-
ocrat for governor In a Republican
convention. Postmaster Smith, com-
menting on the choice of the Dallas
gathering, said; “lies a mighty good
man."

YOUNG MEN HOLD MEETING.
Discuss Without Preparation Subjects
Drawn by Lot—Interesting Ses-
sion at T-inity Church.
The meeting of the Young Men’s
club of Trinity Methodist church last
night was a sure "v, from every point
of view. Despite .lie general .dainp-
‘ncss of the evening a goodly number
of interested speeiitors were present
to discover how tna young men would
conduct themselves in an extempo-
vennous discussion. Although the time
on each speech was limited to five
minutes, the entire list of participants
met the situation with heartiness and
good will and covered themselves with
credit.
Nope of the speakers knew before
hand wh it subject woe! I tie assigned
lo them when their names were called
hy the president. This, however, did
not deter any, and many witty and
funny remarks were made during the
course of the evening. Fe - Instance,
Mr. Heald, In spunking to Girls,
frankly stated lie hardly knew where
to begin, “t hate to get started, and
having started I hate to stop, and I
am fully satisfied that I ,wn make no
conclusion cm this speech, for when I
reach wlmt I think to be a couc'mdon,
a girl will come 'thing nnd have the
last word." Mr. Hiiggett. speaking of
tlo> Irish: "It is probably a lamenta-
ble hut no less remarkable fact that
white the Irish have not been able to
boss themselves as a roltllcal entity,
they have made no small success in
bossing the entire world, pmbaldy
making up in the long rim what they
lack In the short." Following is the
program:
1. Mr. Heald, Girls,
2. Mr. Perry, Monk vi.
3. Mr. Simians, Trusts.
1. Mr. Wright. Bachelors.
5. Mr. Ayers. Fools.

was announced as an evening with
Eugene Field. His lif.i and works will

tion of the land owners of the valley

gation facilities.

partment also suggested that the

rigation in Ihe valley. On Ihe com-
pletion of the Irrigation system the
amount paid out hy each person will
lie designated by certificates issued
lo them. These certificates will later

ernment.
Yesterday's meeting was very en-
thusiastic, every member present
being of the opinion that such a sys-
tem of irrigation and the improve-
ments of tiie lands for colonization
was one of the most, Important steps
tlie land owners and business men
could take.
A formal call will he Issued for (he
convention and every section inter-
ested will he urged to have a dele-
gation present.
Besides considering irrigation ques-
tions and the building of a diversion
dam and canal the convention will
look into the matter of construction
of better roads into all towns.

ROOTEVELT SEVERELY CRITICIZED
Peace Advocates Denounce Executive’s
Big Army and Navy Policies—
Want Board Appointed.
Mystic, Conn., Aug. 14.—President
Roosevelt and some of his policies
were severely criticized because of
the "barracks policy," as it Is known
In Europe, which requires the en-
largement of the army and the build-
ing of a big navy, by the speakers at.
the forty-second annual meeting of
the Universal Peach union at Pence
Grove hero today.
Dr. W. I. Hull of Swarthmore, Pa.,
who attended all of the sessions of
the second Hague conference in Ills
address on "Limitation of Armamont,”
referred at some length to the proposal

President Roosevelt to the effect that
a large army and navy are necessary
to preserve peace and indignantly de-
nied that this was so.
Santa Fe, N. M. Aug. 14.—In the
matteri'of ihe Mexican Southeastern
Railroad company receivership, pend-
ing in court here for more than ten
years, Judge John R. McFie today ap-
proved the final report of the re-
ceiver, Henry W. Leman, discharged
the receiver and cancelled his bond.
The Mexican Southeastern Railroad
company was organized in I89G in
New Mexico, with a capital of ten
millions lo build a road in Mexico
from San Ueronimo to Guataniela, as
a part of the proposed inter-continen-
tal railroad system. The Spanish-
American war came on, the company
could not sell Its bonds and its con-
cession from the Mexican government
became forfeited, but a large amount
of construction had involved the com-
pany in over a million dollars of net
liabilities.
Samuel W. Allerton, the well known
capitalist of Chicago, was treasurer
of the company and a large stockhold-
er. Various test suits were brought
against Allerton and practically all
the litigation was the result of an or-
ganized effort to make him pay all
the. company’s liabilities. The case
has been bitterly fought on both sides;
In his exhaustive final report the re-
ceiver regretfully informs the court
that if they had been successful in
the contests with Allerton he would
have enough assets in hand to pay
ail the creditors in full, but as it is he
has nothing.
Mr. Allerton’s lawyer who has con-
ducted the defense in all this litiga-
tion stated .here today that the dis-
charge of the receiver ended the whole
matter.
