A negro, who gave his name as E.
O. Sutton, was arrested here by Wes
Acker Monday on suspicion of being
a forger wanted at Sealy, Texas. The
cashier of a bank, which had sent
out a circular describing the negro,
was wired. He arrived in Commerce
today and promptly identified the
negro as one who had cashed some
forged school warrants in Sealy. Ed
Burke was the name the negro used
at Sealy. Roy Harrington, as a
special officer, left for Sealy with
the prisoner Tuesday afternoon. The
arrest was made on the suggestion of

DALLAS, April 20. — Former
President William Howard Taft, in
a public address here yesterday
afternoon, declared that the cove-
nant of the League of Nations is a
“pact of reason,” and urged its ad-
option by the Senate. He flayed war
in all its phases and said he could
not reconcile himself to the spectacle
of a Christian nation failing to adopt
whatever means are a» hand for the
prevention of wars.
He declared that treaties

TEXARKANA, April 20.—Tom
Hays and Tom Smith, both residents
of New Boston, Bowie County, are
tn a local hospital suffering from
numerous wounds, the result of a
pitched battle between several men
at a lonely spot on the road four
miles south of New Boston early
Sunday morning. Barto Barfield and
M. L. Corley, of New Boston, were
released under bail following their
arrests in connection with the affair.
Smith was shot through the body
and badly slashed about the neck
and head, stabbed three times in the
breast and three times in the bacx.
Hays was shot one time, the bullet
shatering his collar bone on the right
side. Smith's condition is reported
as serious. The bullet entered his
back and penetrated the intestines,
being removed by a surgical oper-
ation.
According to information received
here. Smith and John Reedy and two
young ladies were returning home
from a party in an auto when a
second car drove up behind and those
in the Smith car were ordered to,
stop. Hays is Kiid to have alighted ‘
from the second car, when the shoot- '
mg began.
Hays is said to have shot Smith,
but it is not yet known who did the '
cutting and stabbing nor has it been j
made clear who shot Hays. Reedy ‘
left with the women during the
fighting, and was not hurt, it Is ■
claimed.
There were five men in the car
which followed the one occupied by
Smith and Reedy and the young
ladies.
The accused men will be arraing-
ed as soon as the outcome of Smith’s
wounds are determined.
We hope you will not require
our service for a long time
But if the need for such ser
vice occurs, we offer our*
5vith all due respect.
