HURT IN RUNAWAY
Galveston, Texas Nov. 30. —
With a cargo valued at $1,755,895
of which ’$1,750,000 was repre-
sented in a shipment of 24,000
bales of cotton, the Leyland Line
steamship Victorian sailed from
Galveston today for Liverpool.
This is the largest cargo of
cotton that has been exported
from Galveston this season and
it is believed to be the largest
handled out of an American port
since September 1.
The record cargo of cotton
from an American pqyt was load-
ed at Galveston on October 28,
1904, on board the steamship
Norseman, consisting of 26,873
square bales.

within the altar in the Church of
Our Lady of Lourdes this morn-

pleted five marriages, the grooms
responding in unison, “We do”
as the pastor asked: “Do you
take these women for your law-
ful wives?” Six couples were
married at one ceremony at the
same altar rail last night.
Washington, Nov. 28.—Joseph

is gathering information pre-
paratory to a series of confer-
ences with congressional fram-
ing bills.
It js understood the adminis-
tration will not seek to concen-
trate attention on anti-trust re-
form until the currency bill has
passed in the senate, but there

Bingham, Utah, Nov. 29.—Id
fight underground with only
the flash of rifles relieving the
darkness, Ralph Lopes, Mexican
desperado, added possibly two
more names to his list of killed
late today when he drove back a
posse of deputy sheriffs in the
Utah-Apex mine.
On November 21 Lopez killed
the chief of police of Bingham,
two deputies and a fellow coun-
tryman. He shouted from the
depths of his stronghold tonight:
“It will cost many more lives be-
fore you get me.”
Lopez today shot Deputies
Douglas Hulsey and Tom Mand-
rich, who at a late hour tonight
still lay wher$ they fell.
A half dozen deputies pene-
trated 900 feet into the mine this
afternoon to light a smudge to
smoke the desperado out. As
soon as Hulsey struck a match
he was shot by Lopez. In the
exchange of shots that followed
Mandrich fell, and then the
deputies retreated;
Deputy Sheriff Julian Soren-
son crept into the mine tonight
to engage the Mexican single-
handed. At a late hour he had
not been heard from.
Last Friday morning Louis
Schweke was seriously injured
in a runaway that wrecked his
buggy and threw him out of the
vehicle as he was returning home
after a business visit to New
Ulm.
Mr. Schweke was driving
home by way of the road that
parallels the railroad track when
a train came along and the per-
sistent whistling of the locomo-
tive frightened his team so that
he lost control of the animals.
The team finally broke loose
from the vehicle, after they had
wrecked it. Meanwhile Mr/
Schweke was hurled from the
buggy and the force of his fall
shocked him so that he was
stunned. When he recovered he
was still in a dazed condition and
started back to town when met
and cared for by his brother,
Wm. Schweke, Sr.
Mr. Schweke was severely
shaken and bruised; he is still
confined to his bed, but it is not
beliafci^that his injuries-^re.

Thimbles Centuries Old. 4
Thimbles have been known for many
centuries. Some specimens unearthed
by archaeologists are known to be
2,500 years old. They are of bronze,
and their outer surfaces show the fa-
miliar indentatiohs for engaging the
head of the needle. These thimbles
are almost exactly like those of our
day, except that they have no tops
with which to cover the end of the
finger.

Austin, Texas, November
—The most recent of a series of
holdups and purse snatching
that has occurred within the
grounds of the State Capitol took
place last night when Mrs. A.
Bertstrom was accosted. She
bravely defended herself, beat-
ing the man over the head with
an umbrella and not releasing
her hold on the purse. The
chain finally broke, however, and
the man disappeared with the
purse.

Washington, November
Secretary McAdoo issued
statement tonight declaring that
banks throughout the country,
reported to be restricting cre-
dits in order to meet the provi-
sions of the expected currency
law, are making a mistake. He
announced that the resources of
the treasury will be at the dis-
posal of the banks to aid them in
complying with the new law
when it is put on the statute
books.
The statement in part said:
“The secretary expressed the
conviction that the new law will
impose no hardships on the
banks and that the transfers of
capital and reserves to the pro-
posed Federal reserve banks will
be accomplished with little or no
inconvenience to the banks and
to general business.
“The secretary said that the
Treasury Department had large
available resources at its com-
mand; that he should not hesi-
tate to use them for the purpose
of aiding the banks to comply
with the new laws and that in
his opinion the banks could with
There ia no industry more impor-
tant to our progress than that of <the
cotton mills and none more in need
of the patronage of our merchant's
and of the friendship of the people.
Texas is on the frontier of the fac-
tory zone and the cotton mill is now
a pioneer industry. It can thrive
only where business conditions are
reliable, a public sentiment stable,
and the consuming public friendy
to its output. The product is a
staple one and when it enters the
market must meet the competition
of the eastern and southern mills
where there is an abundance of waste
labor, cheap fuel, cheap money, and
where conditions are more settled.
We have fifteen cotton mills in
Texas representing an investment' of
$2,229,000, running 112,404 spin-
dles and having a capacity of 40,000
bales, a yearly output valued at ap-
proximately .$2,250,000 and giving
employment to 1,000 people.
Our cotton mills use less than one
per cent of our cotton production;
the remaining ninety-nine per cent
seeks the foreign factory. The peo-
ple of Texas consume approximately
220,000 bales of cotton per annum
and yet out of the 40,000 bales man-
ufactured in Texas, at' least seventy
per cent of it must find a market
outside of the State, due to our
failure to patronize home industry.
It would require 1,500 cotton mills
of the capacity of our present fac-
tories to consume the product of our
farms, call for an investment of
$250-,000,000, give employment to
150,000 people and add approximate-
ly a quarter of a billion dollars in
value to our cotton crop.
These desirable conditions can on-
ly be obtained through co-operation
and by fostering and encouraging
this important industry.
The cotton mill and the cotton
farm are inseparable comrades and
in promoting the prosperity of the
former we build up the latter.

Austin, Texas, November 28.—
The Southern Publishing Comp-
any of Waco today filed its char-
ter with the Secretary of State.
The company, it is .unofficially
understood, will publish a pro-
hibition newspaper. The capital
stock is $83,810.
Bartlett, Texas, November 30.
—Friday night burglars entered
the dry goods store of D. Zweig
and took a small amount of money
from the cash register. Officers
have no clue.
This week a young man named
Callahan, while employed as
linterman at the.oil mill here had
his left hand caught by the saws,
mutiliating it so badly that am-
putation at the wrist was necess-
ary.
Card of Thanks.
We herewith express our ap-
preciation and thanks for the
kindness and assistance extend-
ed us during the late illness of
our little son and brother, Lester,
also bespeak our gratefulness to
the many who attended the
funeral, more especially since
the weather was so very bad, and
the loving tribute, words of con-
solation and sympathy, spoken at
the ^grave of our beloved, by
Herman Schulze, will be remem-
bered for all time and help us so
very much, to bear our burden of
grief and loss with greater forti-
tude.

In the Mexican republic there
are many men rated as million-
aires and several large corpora-
tions whose properties might be
available for prospective taxa-
tion. There are millions to be
had for the taking and General
Huerta’s admirers declare he
would be acting in accordance
with justice and his duty to the
country if he" utilized this muney
for defense.
Special taxes have been an-
nounced which will become ef-
fective tomorrow and will net at
leaset 35,000,000 pesos ($17,500,-
000) annually to the government.
It would be quite feasible, it is
pointed out, to augment this
amount materially by the simple
method of still further increas-
ing the taxes. No revenue which
might produce funds for the
government is being overlooked.
For ycArs the City of Mexico
was ki|own as a city where

ibut today there are many resorts
of this class operating openly.
Each is paying its quota in the
shape of license fees. It is an-
nounced that all the gambling
places will be closed temporarily
in order that they may be re-
opened under a new arrange-
ment. It is understood that
this arrangement will be grant-
ing a donsession to one concern
for all the gambling in the city.
This would make the collection
of the tax more simple and cer-
tain.
