, Denison, Tex.. Mar. 25.—J. W.
liayn and Joe Jackson, two brake-
men on the Katy, were murdered
about midnight last night between
(.ravel Pit and Denton whlltA the
train was making the eighteen mile
run. noth men were last wood iiliv--
when tho train left the Gravel Pit
and had started over their train
when they were evidently urcoBted
by the fiend who committed the
dastardly deed, »
The lifeless bodies were found on
top of a lefrigerntor car as tno
train pulled Into Denton. A clerk
at tho station saw the head or Jo>;
Jackson hanging over the side of a
car and reported the matter to ton
ductor Riley who had charge of the
train. An investigation started arid
It was tound that both men had
been murdered. A' thirty-tight,
calibre revolver was used. Jackson
was shot four times and either shot
would have caused death. Rayu
was shot twice, the shot, believed vu
have killed him striking at the tear
of his right oar and entering the
brain. That robbe,ry wns the mo-
tive of the murderer is shown by the
fact that the watches anil money
the men earned were missing The
remains were teken off at Denton
nnd prepared for burial and ship-
ment, arriving in Denison at noon
today when they were conveyed to
their homes here.
Joe Jackson had been a brake man
and conductor on the Katy out or
Denison since January T, 1910,r and
resided with his wife and three small
sons at No. 101 West Uond Btroet.
Ilayn resided at 517 East Main street
and is survived by a wife and one
son. The remains Of Jackson will
be shipped to his former homo at

Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Riley. Xhc re-
mains of Rayn will be shlpjpfed to

A negro and two white men
boarded the train at Hodge near
yort Worth und tho two white men

as it Is believed he Is tho party
who committed the double murder.
M. VV. McClellan, whose home is
in Kansas City, and C. E. Middle-
ton. whose home Is In Springfield.
Mo., boarded the train at Fort Worth
and when they ty'ere discovered in
a refrigerator car about four cars
from the one on top of which the
brakemen were killed, were lockeo
in by the conductor and brought to
Denison, where they were placed In
jail for investigation. Tho boys
are mere youngsters and are of good
appearance. They tell a straight-
forward story and it is not thought
that they have any guilty knowledge
of tho crime.
"I am an automobile machinist,
said McClellan to a reporter, "and
have been working at El Paso. I
have a mother and a sweetheart In
Kansas Ctly and I have been trying

Associated Press Dispatch
Berlin, via I^ondon. Mar. 25.—Dr.
Karl Liebknecht, a Socialist mem-
ber of the Richstag, has been mqs'-
tered Into the army as a member of
a lanrtsturin regiment and assign-
ed to service in Alsace,
The Copenhagen Politiken print-
ed a story Monday to the effect that
Dr. I.iebknecht had been ordered to
place himself at the disposal of the
German military authorities. This
action was supposed to have been
due to his action in the Reichstag
on Saturday, in voting against the
adoption of the budget. The Politi-
ken stated Dr. Liebknecht was di-
rected to consider himself under
the moaary law and was prohibit-
ed front writing articles or attend-
ing political meetings except those
of the Reichstag and landtag.
Berlin dispatches received in Am-
sterdam Monday said the Socialist
party in the Reichstag, had glyen
out a declaration, severely de-
nouncing the “breach of discipline"
committed by Dr, Liebknecht and
his colleague. Herr Kttehle. in vot-
ing against the adoption of the
budget.
Dr. Liebknecht perhaps is the
most widely known Socialist in
Germany. He frequently has pro-
tested vigorously against the war
anil was reputed in December last
to be the leader of a secret German
peace movement. Early in January
he appealed to tho newspapers and
labor leaders to end the conflict.Tie
had previously been disavowed by
his party associates in the Reichstag
and a speech he made early this
month in the Prussian diet resulted
in a protest from other parties.
Soon after hostilities began It was
reporteu that ho had been shot for
refusing to do toilitary service.

CLAIM “JOKER” FOUND
IN PROPOSED AMENDMENT
in the legislature by Senatdr Crow
empowering the courts to take hold
of tho affairs of persons in finan-”
ctal difficulties in order that real
and personal holdings shall not be
sacrificed at prices below their real
value.
Ever since the First National
Bank of Uniontown closed its doors
on January US, dark clouds have
hung over the situation here. First
came tho accusation by the Comp-
troller of the Currency that tho
bank was conspicuously a one-man
bank, and that at one time it had
loaned to Thompson $ 1.247,01)0, or
more than one-half of the-entire de-
posits of the bank, and that the
Washington treasury officials had
forced the hank to reduce this
amount until, when the hank failed
Thompson's loans on his direct pa-
per and endorsements were only
$ 1. Op,000.
> Then came the charges that
Thompson was the victim of secret
enemies of Wall street and Pitts-
burg, who were trying to wreck his
plans so that they might gain con-
trol of valuable holdings und op-
tions on coal and oil lands. Thomp-
son's friends maintained that there
was "underneath" work. A "mys-
terious hand" has played . a big
part in blocking coal deals in which
Thompson hopes to recoup his fallen
fortunes and relieve the friends
who were involved in financial dis-
tress with him according to Thomp-
son interests.
It is said that a prominent steel
man has come to Thompson's aid
at a critical time, and that before
the month is out an arrangement
will be made by which the situa-
tion will he relieved without, the
wrecking of the big plans made by
the financiers before ihe smash
came.
It. is said that Thompson is the
head of a 7A.000,000 syndicate
which controls an immense acreage
of soft coal lands. When his bank
blew up, lie could easily * have
liquidated at a ,slight sacrifice, but
the bigger plan would have been
lost. He called upon his friends
to stand by him. It was pointed
Out at the dime that the Fricks nnd
Mellons of Pittsburg, together with
big hankers there, were interested
in downing Thompson and his syn-
dicate. Thompson nnd his associ-
ates charged these Pittsburg Inter-
ests with working against him in
order to force him to sell his hold-
ings at a sacrifice. Within a week
of the date of the hank crash.
Frick and his associates .offered
Thompson $18,000,000 flat for-50,-
000 acres of (he choicest undevelop-
ed coal lands in Greeno county, and
delivered an untimatum giving
Thompson 24 hours to accept or

French Ministry Statement.
tssnetated Press Dispatch
Paris, Mar. 25, 12:40 a. m.—Th*
French ministry of war issued last
night a statement designed to re*
'ute assertions made in American
newspapers by the German military
author, Gen. Fredrich Von Bara*
hard!, to the effect that the French
nlan of concentration showed that
the French an*. British government
tad made careful preparations to
violate the neutrality of Belgium.
The war ministry’s statement ex*
plains in detail that when war waa
declared the French army was con-
centrated along tne German frontier
and that the Teutonic invasion of
Belgium compelled tho general
staff to change completely tho dis-
position which had been arranged.
But for this delay. It says, the Gor-
mans never would have been ablg to
cross the Meuse.
The question of the British army
taking the field waa not consid-
ered, the war ministry assorts, un-
til after the violation of Belgium
on Aug. 5. Its concentration wan
effected behind Maubeege from
August 14 to 24, Various orders
are quoted to show that the French
army was kept six miles from thn
frontier and ordered to leav« thn
Germans the responsibility for open-
ing hostilities.
An order issued by the mlnlstsf
of war August 4 Is quoted as read-
ing:
“Germany will-attempt by false
news to inuuce us to violate Belgian
neutrality. It is strictly forbidden
until further orders for patrols or
even single scouts to croaa the line,
or for aviators to fly over Belgian
territory."
Not until August 5, the statement
asserts, at the formal request of thn
Belgian government made the pre-
ceding day, did the French troop*
enter Belgium.
