ROD EIGHTY-SEVEN INDIAN HOMES
Captured With Wagon Load of
Goods While Angry Indians
Pursue Them.
Special Dispatch.
Lawton Okla. Sept. 29.—With two or
three hundred enraged Clomanche-
Kiowas and Araphoes scouring the
country for the marauders who in the
last five days have robbed eighiy-seven
Indian homes in the Wichita mountains
they were captured here last night.
Their names are Will Shelby and Chas.
Johnson and both are 17 years old. The
boys confessed that inspired by Jesse
James stories they started out last
Wednesday a week ago to make them-
Harlandals
HOMES will be pretty cozy and attractive in
every way—not mansions—for while Harlandale
is beautiful enough to justify the building of the
highest priced residences the extremely low
prices of the lots and the exceptionally easy
terms mean that it is the ideal home addition for
people of moderate means.
RESTRICTIONS that are absolutely enforced
assure the home builder of desirable neighbors
and other pleasant homes around his. The build-
ing of such homes has already started in Harlan-
dale and will go forward with a rush now that
the street car line is almost completed and will
be in regular operation by next Sunday. We urge
you to select your Harlandale lots this week—-
before the street car starts running regularly.

selves equally famous. The numerous
camps of full blood Indian settlements
in the mountains were selected as the
first field of adventure since most of
the Indians are away camping at the
Indian schools where they have taken
their children to begin the fall term.
When captured the boys had a wagon
load of Indian goods revolvers trin-
kets etc. and confessed to having
“cached” much more. The angry In-
dians are scouring the mountains in
bands of about twenty each and do not
yet know the boys have been captured.

WANTS NOMINATION.
(Continued from page 1.)
man of the convention in his keynote
speech declared that the democratic
patty stands confronted with an oppor-
tunity to render the country a great
service in upholding the constitution
which forbids the usurpation of power
by the executive. He said in part:
Opposes Centralization.
“The fathers builded for us a gov-
ernment under the control of the peo-
ple less than a century and a quarter
ago. Today there are political proph-
ets in other lands who predict for us a
speedy coming of the dictator. There
are in our beloved country advocates
of the policy to gradually take from
the people the home rule powers of the
states and confer them upon the federal
government.
Does This Mean T. R.?
“Others still more ‘progressive’
would not await the action of the peo-
ple but would seize coveted powers
whenever the passing whim or caprices
of an executive shall suggest it. In-
deed a president of the United States
has said in substance and effect that
if we fail to increase the federal power
through executive action through legis-
lative and through judicial construction
and interpretation of law we show our
impotence. On divers occasions he
fitted the deed to the word and sub-
sequently rejoiced in the applause of
the unthinking.”
High Cost of Living.
Continuing Judge Parker alluded to
the high cost of living blaming the
high protective tariff for which the re-
publican party is responsible. He de-
clared the republicans stood by the
trusts and revised the tariff upwards in
“obedience to the demand of a corrupt
national machine which has for years
traded away the rights of the people
in return for money used to strengthen
the machine and buy votes.”
Campaign Contributions.
Be scored illegal combinations and
campaign contributions and alluded to
the Harriman contribution of $250000
to Boosevclt’s campaign fund. He
quoted some of Boosevelt’s opinions
and praised Governor Hughes.
Declaring that the democracy had al-
ways been the reliance of the people he
spoke of its recent victories and said
the party would stand unequivocally
against autocratic power and misrule.
After Parker concluded the conven-
tion adjourned until 1 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon to give the members an
opportunity to unite upon a guberna-
torial nominee.
Special Dispatch.
Rochester N. Y. Sept. 29.—Up to the
opening hour of the democratic state
convention here the question as to who
should head the state ticket apparently
was to be answered by Tammany hall.
The strength of the up-state delegates
was split by so many rival candidates
that the balance of power seemed to be
entirely in the hands of the men from
the Bronx.
Night Conference.
Leaders held conferences through the
night and all morning up to convention
hour in hope of effecting a compromise
upon one of the seven candidates whose
friends clamored for their nomination.
It seemed certain that the rivalry
would only be settled on the floor of the
convention and this lent new energy to
each of the booms.

CHINESE SOIL?
\
Report From Philippines That
Move on Celestial Empire Is
About to Be Made.
NO REASON IS GIVEN
Special Dispatch.
Washington D. C. 29. —The
alarming news came here early today
that the United States authorities in
the Philippines were making prepara-
tions for the dispatch of troops to
China. It is impossible to ascertain
from official sources why such a re-
port should originate at this time in
the Philippines. The report was ac-
companied by another statement that
it came from sources near the Ameri-
can legation at Pekin.
This rumor comes at a time when the
gospel of peace is being preached very
loudly in Washington. There is no
known reason why China should ask
any assistance from the United States
or why such an arm of the service
should be needed.
MAY BE ANOTHER
BOXER OUTBREAK
Associated Press.
Washington D. C. Sept. 29. —Advices
[have been received here from American
I officials in the Orient to the effect that
a critical situation exists in China and
! that an outbreak similar to the Boxer
I rebellion of several years ago would not
surprise the close observers of the re-
cent trend of events.
Auburn were the seven men over *hose
names the big fights were made.
Lean Toward Shepard.
Sentiment of the delegates was given
a leaning toward Edward M. Shepard
just before a final pre-convention con-
ference on-nominations was called when
State Chairman Dix said that the
Brooklyn man’s chances appeared to be
the best at that time.
The nomination of Mr. Shepard is
"being worked for by Murphy of New
York. Although Murphy gave command
to his emissaries to use strong argu-
ments in attempting to swing up-state
sentiment in favor of Shepard it was
evident that the Tammany man did not
want to antagonize the other leaders
and delegates.
Leaders Confer.
Alton B. Parker former democratic
nominee for president of the United
States State Chairman John Dix Nor-
man E. Mack Wm. J. Cqtiners and Lead-
er Murphy conferred long and earnestly
before the convention opening in a
final hope to clear the gubernatorial
situation.
Judge Parker was selected for the
temporary chairman and it was general-
ly understood that his keynote speech
would deal in strong terms with the po-
litical situation in New York state.
It was generally believed that the
speech and the platform would follow
the same outline and idea constituting
the following as the chief points and
planks:
War on Graft.
Promise of war on graft in the event
of a democratic victory and the calling
of attention-of voters to exposures of
legislative graft under republican ad-
ministrations as shown in recent inves-
tigations.
A hit at the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law as one of the chief causes of
the high cost of living.
A general appeal to voters to
follow the leader set in other
states notably in Maine and elect
democrats to office.
A hit at “bossism” in the re-
publican party and particularly a
subtle attack 'on Theodore Boose-
velt.
An appeal for district primar-
ies uniform through the state and
modeled after the ideas enun-
ciated upon the subject by Gover-
nor Hughes.
After Republicans.
A plank was in readiness critis-
izing the republican state and na-
tional administrations for willful
extravagance and promising that
the democrats jf elected to power
would retrench and reform the gov-
ernment’s money spending system.
On the direct primary question
the democratic state leagues and
progressive democracy united in
demanding a drastic plank.
“Direct nominations square un-
equivocal and without qualifica-
tions” was their utimatum.
Chairman Dix declared that the demo-
crats would have no difficulty in nom-
inating a man strong enough to beat
Henry L. Stimson who was nominated
by the republicans in Saratoga.
“Roosevelt with all his authority and
power will not be able to pull Stimson
through this fight” said Mr. Dix.
LOGICAL REMEDY FOR ECZEMA
Many different remedies have been
tried for Eczema and other skin dis-
eases. But it is now known that the
only possible cure is a mild soothing
liquid made up of Oil of Wintergreen
Thymol Glycerine and other ingre-
dients so carefully compounded that
each ingredient has its proper effect.
This compound is now made up in
the D. D. D. Prescription. Ten years of
success and thousands of cures show
the merit of this wonderful compound
but the most convincing proof is a trial
of the remedy by any eczema sufferer.
D. D. D. will prove to you lh%t you
can be cured. The very first drops will
give you instant relief. Get a trial bot-

and soared into the air and up over the
trees with the miraculous ease that has
amazed every one witnessing him.
He circled twice rose to a height of
about 1000 feet then made off for the
the Illinois Central tracks which ho
was to follow with a special train be-
neath him all the way to Springfield.
Brookins passed over Harvey 111.
sixteen miles from his starting point
at 9:45. going at a speed slightly in ex-
cess or thirty-two miles an hour. At
10:05 he flew over Matteson twenty-
seven miles out going at the same rap-
id speed in the teeth of the wind. He
had been in the air fifty minutes. He
flew at an altitude of about 2000 feel
until he reached Kensington then de-
scended to about 1000 evidently hunt-
ing for a less adverse wind. Immense
crowds were out in all cities along the
Illinois Central and the air rang with
cheers as the aviator passed.
If Brookins sustains the same speed
he will reach Springfield before 3
o’clock this afternoon.
Brookins passed over Kankakee 51
miles away shortly before 10:30 o’clock
going at a speed of about 40 miles an
hour—a high speed it is said accord-
ing to the wind.
EAGER CROWD FOLLOWS
AVIATOR ON TRAIN.
Special Dispatch.
On Board Special Illinois Central
Aeroplane Excursion Train Kankakee
111. Sept. 29.—The platforms of the
railroad stations along the way were
lined with people who had gathered to
watch the novel race between an air-
ship and a railroad train.
"I’ve put up lots of coin on the
ponies but this is the first time I ever
bet on an aeroplane and railroad train
race’’ was the remark of one man when
the train stopped at Harvey.
This place was reached by the day-
light special at 10:54 and at this time
Brookins was far in the lead having
reached the same place at 9:45. The
fact that he had such a good lead at
the outset proved a source of merriment
to the crowds which greeted the train.
Can’t Catch Him
"You had better get a pair of
wings’’ or "You’re out of date” were
some of the remarks hurled at the en-
gineer and fireman who in turn grinned
from the windows of the cab.
Pupils in schools along the route were
given a half holiday business in most
of the towns was suspended while tho
people flocked to the railroad stations.
Farmers quit work in the fields and
gazed with open-mouthed wonder at the
"bird man.”
On board the special train were Wil-
bur Wright Roy Knabenschue and Jas.
E. Plew acting president of the Aero
club of Illinois.
Bulletins of the progress made by
Brookins were handed aboard the
train at points where stops were made.
These indicated that Brookins would
hold his lead.
Dropped Message.
Brookins dropped a message here
which read:
"Everything working fine. I’ll get
there. ’ ’
The message was dropped near the
railroad station and was picked up by
a bov. As the train started up word
was brought that the aeroplane had
been sighted at Gillman.
LANDS AT GILMAN.
Dispatch.
Gilman 111. Sept. 29.—According to
agrement Aviator Brookins landed
here at 11:45 to wait for the special
train which is due at 12:04. He will
take on fuel and proceed on his trip
to Springfield. Gilman is about 80
miles from Chicago.
KANKAKEE AT 10:53.
Bulletin —Brookins passed over Kan-
kakee at 10:53. Business suspended in
town as aeroplane moving apparently
at rate of sj) miles an hour passed high
above the streets.
STOP SAT GILMAN.
Gilman Hl. Sept. 29.—Brookins
stopped at Gilman for oil at 11:36 a. m.
the stop precludes the making of a
record for sustained flight as Gilman
is but 75 miles from the actual start-
ing point of flight.
COVERED 89 MILES.
Asanclated Press.
Bulletin. — Brookins passed Ridge-
ville five miles from Gilman at 12:51
and Thawville nine miles from Gilman
and 89 miles from Chicago at 1 p. m.
nine miles in 18 minutes. He was flying
at a height of 2000 feet.
FLIES OVER TRAIN.
Gibson Ills. Sept. 29.—Brookins kept
pace with the train being visible to tlte
passengers of the train first on one
side and then on the other at a height
of about 1500 feet. Crowds were assem-
bled at every point watching the daring
aeronaut.
BROOKINS AHEAD OF TRAIN.
Farmer City Ills- Sept. 29.—The spe-
cial train stopped one minute at Belle-
flower giving Brookins the lead by a
mile or more. The wind is still against
him but Wilbur Wright said he was
doing well and making about 32 miles
an hour. Farmer City was reached at
2:18 and Brookins had dropped behind
the train about 3 miles. A stop of 3
minutes at Farmer City gave the plane
another slight lead over the train.
SPRINGFIELD 37 MILES OFF.
Kenney Ills. Sept. 29.—Brookins
passed here at 2:57 37 miles north of
Springfield.
PASSES OVER MELVILLE.

Scandal at Hot Springs
Leave Fashionable Wintering Place In Haste Because of

Special Dispatch.
Hot Springs Va. Sept. 29.—Dismay
has struck the millionaire colony here
because of a gambling scandal similar
to that which Narragansett Pier suf-
fered a few weeks ago when a con-
stable banged his way into a gilded
chance hall and discovered prominent
women playing roulette faro and
poker.
The colony here composed largely of
those who had just abandoned Newport
Narragansett and other New England
watering places and mountain resorts
has just swung into action; but now
many of them having been served with
subpoenas in the action against the
Woodland club here have taken flight.

DALLAS GIRL IS ROBBED AND
NEARLY STARVES IN ST. LOUIS
St. Louis Mo. Sept. 29.—After hav-
ing been robbed of her purse containing
all the money she possessed Miss Eu-
nice Schofield 18 years old of Dallas
Texas remained at Union Station
stranded from Saturday night until
Thursday when hunger forced her to
appeal to a cowboy she thought was
from Texas because of his garb and
manner. The cowboy himself without
funds could not help out financitlly
but he escorted the starving girl to po-
lice headquarters where she was given
in care of the matron.

next four months are qualified. In the
case of the city poll tax receipt it has
been issued since last June and about
fifteen hundred voters have obtained
it already.. The city poll tax must be
paid prior to February 1 1911. just
like the state poll tax. »The city tax
collector will continue to issue the re-
ceipts during the four months to come
as is the case with the county tax col-
lector.
The year of the poll tax levy which
is to be paid is 1910. Therefore pay-
ment in San Antonio can be claimed
only in case the voter resided in Bexar
county January 1 1910.
To be exempt by reason of age the
person must have been sixty years of
age prior to that January 1 1910. If
attaining the age of 60 years after
January 1 1910 and before the elec-
tion in 1911 the voter is required to
pay both city and county poll tax just
the same.
If a person from another state ar-
rived in Texas after January 1 1910
and yet during that month so that he
will have been a year in the state at
the date of the February charter elec-
tion he may vote in that election with-
out paying poll tax but must have his
exemption certificate issued prior to
February 1 1911.
- Others Exempt.
Other persons exempt from poll tax
are Indians not taxed insane persons
(who are disqualified anyhow) blind
parsons deaf and dumb persons per-
sons who have lost a hand persons who
have lost a foot and persons who are
permanently disabled so as not to be
able to perform any manual labor.
Persons who have moved from some
other county in Texas to San Antonio
must pay poll tax in the county where
ing easily and apparently the machine
was all right.

Miss Schofield has been on a visit to

home she stopped at Union Station to
change trains. She dropped her purse
and before she could pick it up a man
grabbed it and ran.
Unfamiliar with the ways of a big
city she did not know what to do so
she remained at the station. The po-

peration she appealed to the friendly

AH persons who desire to vote in the
charter election in February must have
resided in San Antonio for six months
just preceding. Persons who have
moved into San Antonio from other
parts of the county are subject to this
same requirement. They must live in
San Antonio six months prior to tho
charter election to vote in it. The law
is plain on this and it disposes of any
scheme of Callaghan workers might
have planned to bring in poll taxed
Tiexjcans from the county to vote
against the charter. Part of section 2
of the Terrell election law. reads!
The Law.
"Provided that in any election held
only in a subdivision of a county for
the purpose of determining any local
question or proposition affecting only
such subdivision of the cnuntv. then in
addition to the foregoing qualifications
the voter must have resided in said sub-
division of the county for six months
next preceding the election.*’
