ATTORNEY WHITMAN TRAVELS
TO HOT SPRINGS
Will Procure Signed Statements
from Editor Hotchkiss the Post-
master and Police Officers in Rela-
tion to Rosenthal Murder Cas**.
Mot Springs Ark. Sept. 15.—
Douglas Hotchkiss editor said today
that he knew ittle of Sam Schepps'
conversations while in custody here
with the exception of what he had
written and published. A perusal of
those ar’icles today failed to show
that Schepps made any statements
which would either aid or incrimi-
nate police Lieutenant Charles
Becker in the murder of Herman
Rosenthal in New York.
District Attorney Whitman of1
New York remained in St. Louis to-
day and is not expected here before
tomorrow noon when it is believed
he will ask Hotchkiss Po-tmaster
Fred Johnson and police officers to
make statements relative to Schepps’ 1
conversation while here.
All express a willingness to talk
to the district attorney.
Before leaving here in custody for <
New York Schepps repudiated the 1
alleged interviews published by
Hotchkiss in which he was quoted on
w’hite slavery. J
Schepps said he did not know
Hotchkiss was an editor when he
talked with him and did not make
the statements attributed to him.
Detective Bruns for Becker's de- ;
fense was not known as a detective 1
here but was posing as a eorres- (
pondent of a New York newspaper. (
it is rumored that others than the
parties named will be a-wed to make <
statements to the district attorney J

JUDGE HOPHS
GRANT CONTINUANCE
_ I
ELECTION CASES POSTPONED
UNTIL REGULAR TERM
Many Defense Witnesses Did Not Ap-
pear. and Amendment by State
a Surprise to Defense—Attorney 1
Creager Propounds Puzzling Qu«*ry
t
-—-
After a special session lasting one
week the district court adjourned
Saturday afternoon when a motion
for continuance entered by the de-
fense in the municipal election cases
wa* granted by District Judge W. B.
Hopkins. The continuance was
granted on the grounds that more
than 160 defense witnesses many of
whom it was claimed were holders
:>f important information were ah-
<ent. Another cause pleaded by the
iefense wa! that the state filed
amendment surprising counsel for
iefense and giving them no oppor-j'
unity to prepare themselves to fight ‘
he allegations contained therein.
Judge Hopkins announced that '
he cases would be called on the
irst day of the regular term of the
ii-trict court November 16. He in-
structed counsel for both sides to be i
prepared to begin trial on that date j
In giving his decision. Judge Hop- (
{ins stated lie regretted having to (
•ontinue the trials af er havin’’
•ailed a special term in order to dis-
)ose of the ca;es. However he said
n view of the pleadings made by the '
Iefense he had no aternative other i
han to contine the trials. 1
After the decision was announced j
vhat was evidently a puzzling ques-
ion was brought to the attention of!
Attorney Dougherty for the state.
Mr. Creager of the defense asked i
lim what about the ca;e of Bates vs. j
’rixell since the defendant was (
lead. Mr. Dougherty turned around
o look for his associate attorneys
nit they had all left the court room. ‘
Seeing he was alone he answered 1
hat he was of the opinion that who- <
■ver succeeded (’rixell would be the 1
lefendant in the suit. The matter
vas left in status quo but will he
fiven attention before the regular
erm.

RECORD BREAKING
CROWDS WERE HERE
Over 2200 Excursionist* Came tc
Witness Matamoros Bull Fig-hts
Trains Handled Crowds Well.
Brownsville yesterday entertained
more than 2200 excursionists from
points up the Valley as far as Sarr
Fordvce and from he towns up thr
main line of the Gulf Coast line from
Houston South. They were a goo'
irderly crowd roaming the street
at their own sweet will. Many o
them who had never been on th
border before seemed content in real
izing tha: they were as far south a
'hey could possibly get ar.d yet re
main in the “good old l*. 3. A."
The first train carrying excursion
sts arrived Sunday morning at 1:3c
It carried approximately 650 pen
">le the majority of whom were Me-
icans bound for their native land t
"elebra'e Mexican Independent
Those who had eome only to see th
bull tight and for the trip cast aboe
for lodging places for the balance o
he night numbers of them inquir
ng at various residences for quart
rs undaunted by the fact hat th
occupants thereof were asleep.
However those who had room; tf
‘t showed themselves to he goo2 '
itizens of Brownsville and bade th'
isitors to enter. The hotels am
edging houses were crowded o thei
apacity notices being di-playec
hat there were no single rooms t
e had.
The train from up the Valley car
:ed the record crowd. It brough"
own eleven coaches loaded to th;
’lards. There were some 800 pas
■ngers on this train. As soon as i
rrived at the station it seemed
bat the entire number began hunt
lg restaurants.
The main line train at 1:3
rought probably GOO persons a goo'
:any of whom came from as fa
orth as Houston. This train car
ed a capacity crowd also most o
bem being Americans.
The mo'or car from up the Brant 1
lded its quota and carried twice a-
any people as it can handle ord'
arily. It brought more than 12*
issengers.
The restaurants were fully pre
ired for the occasion and thong”
bey were crowded and rushed at at
mes no trouble was experienced i:
eding the hungry excursionist
atamoros had its share too fo1
any feared they might miss the bill”
ght and went arross the river im
ediatelv after they arrived in th-
tv patronizing :he restaurant
ver there.
The ferry boats did their bes: in
ransferring the visitors across th'
iver but the work was necessaril'
low. The barges could not be us^d
ecause of sand bars impatient
qes either walked across the bridge
r if they felt they could afford i‘
atronized the always willin'
cocheros.”
Brownsville did itself exceedingly
>roud in the way it handled tha'
rreat crowd and considering th'
eculiar individualism of this city
here are few cities irs siz** that
ould have done nearly so well. I*
5 also to be noted that citizens o’
he city who met friends and ac-
luaintances from up the Valley im-
mediately took them in hand as heir
uests. This was noted and com-
nented upon in several instances.
Taken as a whole the crowd wa
me that any city would welcome as
ts visitors at any time.
The great por ion of the visitors
’eft last night at 11 o'clock on the
Branch train and those from up the
main line will leave today some this
morning at 4:05 and the balance
this afternoon at 4 o’clock.
