NO DIVIDENDS REPORTED
BY MARINE CORPORATION
By Associated Pres*
New York, June 5. *■— The finance
committee of the International Mer-
cantile Marine Company haB decided
to recommend to the directors at an
early meeting the passing of dividends
on its preferred stock, owing to the
present “abnormally bad’’ business
conditions, P. A. S. Franklin, chair-
man of the board, announced today
at the annual meeting of stockholders.
The marked decrease in the move-
ment of third-class passengers, both
east and westbound, due to the immi-
gration laws and the unsettled condi-
tions in Europe, is blamed in part by
the International Mercantile Marine
Company, in its annual report made
public today, for the relatively poor
financial showing last year with 1922
income estimated owing to delay hi
receiving completed accounts from
abroad, the consolidated report shows
a deficit of $1,269,783 in 1922, after in-
terest on bonds and depreciation, as
against a net profit of $5,797,347 in
1921.
Net earnings, including insurance
fund surplus for 1922, after deducting
operating and general expenses, taxes
and interest on debenture bonds of
subsidiary companies, were given as
$6,971,180 in 1922 and $14,069,053 in
1921. The sum of $5,984,660 was
charged off for depreciation last year
as against $6,117,980 the year before.
From dividends from subsidiary
companies and from the operation of
steamers it owns directly, the com-
pany shows an estimated profit of
$3,669,749 for 1922, after deducting all
expenses, bond interest and deprecia-
tion on the steamers directly owned.

TWENTY THOUSAND SHRINERS
PARADE WASHINGTON STREETS
By AasoclaUd Ppm*
Washington, June 5.—Twenty thou-
sand nobles of th eMystic Shrine to
day marched over two miles of “burn-
ing sands” from the capitoi to Wash-
ington circle, amid a colorful scene.
As they passed through the “Garden
of Allah” reproduction in front of the
White House they were reviewed by
the President, Nobl Warren G. Hard-
ing and Imperial Potentate James S.
McCandless. Bands played and drill
teams executed formations. Thousands
of people overflowed the 150,000 seats
and crowded the sidewalks. President
Harding delivered the principal ad-
dress at the first session of the impe-
rial council.
WEST TEXAS SHERIFF
GIVEN FINE SET OF SPURS
By Associated Press
Alpine, Texas, June 5.—Sheriff E.
E. Townsend of Brewster County, res-
idents of which claim it to be the
largest county In America, has receiv-
ed a pair of silver mounted spurs,
each weighing one pound and nine
ounces, which Col. Custer Young of
the Thirty-Fifth Cavelry Regimenf,
Mexican Army, had especially design-
ed and made as a gift to the Brewster
county sheriff. The spurs are a real
curio, as the carving and decorations
are a unique Mexican pattern, and the
heavy silver mounting makes the gift
very valuable, not only as a gift but
for the high grade of workmanship
and material used.
REPUBLICAN ADMINI-
STRATION FLAYED BY
SENATOR HARRISON
Hon. Pat Harrison, ' United States
Senator from Mississippi, and known
as one of the bqst speakers and de-
baters in the Upper Branch of the Na-
tional Congress, delivered a lecture
from the Chautauqua platform Mon-
day night, in which his deep, subtle
sarcasm, more than his actual words,
expressed his opinion of the present
administration and the Republican
party in general. He paid special at-
tention to George Harvey, Ambassa-
dor to Great Britain, whom he terms
as a political mis-fit, and who not ..only
spilled the beans, but spilled them
quicker and in greater quantities than
any diplomat in the history of the Na-
tion. He said that George Harvey, in
addition to other utterances, not in
the best of form, compared his presi-
dent to an elephant. The speaker
then described an elephant, saying
that the mammoth can walk back-
wards ac easily as forward, has ivory
in his head, etc.
The distinguished senator, in speak-
ing of the so-called “bitter’’ debates
between opposing law makers, said
that these debates were seldom made
a personal issue, and two senators who
a few moments before were villifying.
each other and their party, were often
the best of friends and found chatting
together at the conclusion of the argu-
ment. He said that the recent act of
Governor Smith of New York, In wip-
ing out the State Prohlbtion Measure
would have little or no influence upon
the national question. He stated that
when the two great parties meet next
year in regular convention, for the
drafting of a platform and the nomi-
nation of presidential candidates, that
the platform of each party will con-
tain the plank favoring prohibition
and the enforcement of the existing
prohibition laws. He strongly opposes
further immigration and is opposed
to the administrations foreign policy
in general. The audience cheered
long and loud, when Mr. Harrson paid
a glowing tribute to Woodrow Wilson
and his advocacy of the League of
Nations.
Senator Harrison Is an eloquent
speaker, at times humorous, and al-
ways ready with an apt illustration to
bring home his point.
He was loud in his praise of Weath-
erford as a city in which it would be
a pleasure for him to live. He refer-
red to Fritz Lanham as the "sweetest
character” in the halls of Congress
and predicted even greater things for
him.
A MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE
AT THE COURTHOUSE
One of the penalties of being a judge
of the justice court or clerk or depu-
ty clerk of the county, is that of being
routed out of bed at unseemly hours
to come to the courthouse and assist
some couple to be married.
Deputy Clerk Frank Kirkpatrick was
looking sleepy Tuesday morning and
on inquiring Hie cause we learned
that a very sound snooze had been
broken abruptly at midnight that he
might come to the courthouse and is-
sue a marriage license to John R.
Washington and Miss Ina Bell of Dal-
las. A marriage license, however, is
no good if it cannot be used and so
Judge Hodges also had to crawl out
of bed at a time when the roosters
were crowing sleepily. He came, al-
though it may have been with many
mutterings on the way, and the pair
were happily married, the Judge and
Mr. Kirkpatrick being the only witnes-

hadn’t been there.
The crowd laughed, and cowboys
and ranchmen declared the test was

and being caged so long, was not like
a snake of the desert or plains. The
snake was left alone, he calmed down
and curled up, in the sun in the cor-

also was circled about the window.
The snake woke up and began to
