In the Seventh and Tenth Dlstrk-ts
the Tall and Roosevelt Support-
ers Held Separate Con-
ventions.
(By Associated Pifss)
AUSTIN, Tex., May 11.—Republican
district conventions were held for the
sixth, seventh and tenth K^flgres-
sional districts today, in the sixth, at
Mexia. J. Allen Myers and Itube
Freednian were elected delegates to
the Chicago convention, unlnstructed.
In the seventh, at Galveston, and the
tenth, at Austin, supporters of Presi-
dent Taft and former President
Roosevelt held separate conventions
and contesting delegations to the na-
tional convention were named in the

Clinton, Ed McCathy and E. E. Wal-
lace were chosen by the Taft faction,

In the tenth district H. M. Moore
and F L Welsh were selected, with
instructions to vote for Taft, while
Roosevelt supporters named M. M
Turcey and Harvey C. Stiles.
E. *T. ELMO LEWIS
week, and the program oommittee of
lh« Press association prevailed on htm
to give the editors and managers of
general newspapers a talk devoted to
their lines of business.
While the address of Mr. Lewis is
calculated to be of great help to
newspaper men, it is more than prob-
able that the nuggets of wisdom will
be even more valuable to merchants
or manufacturers who may hear him.
He is sure to give every one some-
thing applicable to his particular
business, and more probably he will
give a number of suggestions whtch
may b» most profitably Incorporated
by those who hear him. An outline
of who Mr Lewis Is and of his work
Is to be gained In perusal of the fol-
lowing "dope" concerning this won-
derful force In modern business.
E. St. Elmo Lewis Is a Law unto
himself. To others he is The Law.
Wharton recognizes but two great dis-
tributions of Law—those between God
and man, and man and man. Th';n
Wharton skips a little and Ignores
much.
Not so Lewis. He recognises both
distributions, and by way of being
generous, he burns into your brain
the absolute Importance of the other
eleven fundamental subdivisions of
Law. In other words, this man Lewis
reads and runs the diatonic scale of
any and all subjects.
The only half way performance of
which today he stands publicly con-
victed Is his golf. This, he contends,
is to be oharjjed to the poorly-con-
structed Implements with which the
game is played. This characteristic
remark was but a flash, yet it serves
to show that humor with Lewi* Is
both a "keen and painful blade."
Lewis and his subject, as Commer-
cial Americana know it. Is advertis-
ing. To this, as to everything else,
he applies the diatonic treatment,
and the residium is efficiency—per-
sonal efficiency.
Early la life Lewis shook hands
with human nature and said, "Let's
be friends." "Agreed," was the re
ply. There and then the life-long
compact was struck and sealed and
Lewis started to school. It took him
twenty years to get the working
knowledge of human nature. At the
end of this period Fate O K'd. his ex-
amination papers and said: "It Is
needful that another voice shall now
be heard crying in the wilderness—
the wilderness of Dollars, where die
slpated brain power, mis-applied phy-
sical energy and unrecognized op-
portunities awaits you. Go ys and
preach the gospel of the personal
equation in business. Call It what
you have a mind to. Advertising, Ef-
ficiency, or any other old name, only
preach this gospel you have prepared,
and be sure to charge an admission."
Traveling Man DIM.
(By Associated Press)
Dallas, May 11.—F. W. Hague, aged
about <6, and traveling fcjr a St. Louis
produce house, dropped dead in the
lavatory of the Hotel Southland at
9:80 o'clock this morning. In falling,
he struck the marble edge of a parti-
tion at the washstand, and cut a deep
gash In the top of the head, from
which the blood flowed profusely.
Despite efforts at artificial respiration
made by Dr. H. G. Walcott and In-
terne Jones from the emergency hos-
pital. the man oould not be revived.
Apoplexy is believed by t&e physicians
to have been the cause of death, and
they thimk he must have died in-
stantly.
A note-book and letters In the pock-
ets of the coat gave the name, and the
home address as No. 2IB Walnut

ployed is given as A. S. Block com-

TEXAS COMPANIES
OBEYING THE LAW
Attorney General Lightfoot Give* Oil
Concerns a Clean Bill of
Health.
(By Associated Press)
AUSTIN, May 11.—After uearly a
month of silence. Attorney General
Jewel P Ltghtfeet today gave out a
statement regarding his trust Inves-
tigations on his trip to the east in
March and April. The report exon-
erates the Pieroe-Fordyce Oil associa-
tion and the Magnolia Petroleum
company from the charges of viola-
tion of the Texas trust laws which
have been preferred against them and
expresses the opinion that the Texas
field furnishes the means of some
lively competition between oil con-
cerns. In part the statement says:
'The records show that the Plerce-
Fordyce association is a partnership
in the nature of a joint stock associa-
tion. It is not a corporation. H. Clay
Pierce and S. W. Fordyce own a large
Interest. There are a great number
of the leading citizens of Texas who
own an interest in the association.
"The Magnolia association is owned
in the same manner. My records
show that neither the Waters-Pierce
Oil Co. nor the Standard Oil company,
nor any other oorporation connected
with either have any Interest what-
ever in the property, stock, bonds or
other securities of either the Pierce-
Fordyce Oil company or the Magnolia
Petroleum company.
"Both oompanles are operated by
their owners and officers Independent
of any corporation in competition
with each other. A careful examina-
tion of the testimony recently tajoen
at St. Louis does not justify or sup-
port the sensational reports sent out
b> newspaper correspondents at St.
Louis. The individuals owning these
properties have furnished proof of
their bona fide ownership and seem
to be doing all in their power to ob-
serve the laws of Texas."

FORT WORTH. May 11.—The story
of the failure of the Provident Bank
and Trust company, the negro bank
which failed here In January, was told
first hand by officers and depositors
at the first creditors' meeting before
W. B. Paddock, referee in bankruptcy,
and H. O. Ledgerwood, receiver In
bankruptcy, at the federal court room
Saturday.
The bank was organized about five
years ago, a Minnesota firm starting
the bank by selling stock and taking
10 per cent of the sales. At the time
of failure there were 19* stockhold-
ers of record. The bank was not In-
corporated, but a partnership, and
conseqently ('v ery stockholder Is liable
for the full Indebtedness of the con-
cern. In fact several of the deposit-
ors have already brought suit for the
full amount of the Indebtedness
against some of the wealthy stock-
holders of the bank.
The stock of the bank was sold all
over Texas.
R. C. Houston, Jr., a well known
negro business man here, was the
president of the bank, and S. P. Allen
was the cashier.
The failure. Is said to have been has-
tened by the organization of a rival
negro bank. Deposits were with-
drawn at th« rate of $2009 to $304)0 a
day for several days before the bank
closed.
Receiver Ledgerwood said that
great many of the loans were worth-
less. The favorite method of getting
money from the bank, he said, was
for a man to deposit a small amount
of money and 'begin to check out un-
til he had a good-sized overdraft
Then the bank would be forced to
take his note for the overdraft. The
iecelver learned that a white man had
been doing business at the bank and
had a $1000 loan there. He was ask-
ed why he did business at the negro
bank.
"Well, it is this way," he said. "1
could not borrow $50 from any other
bank in town with all the security I
could get, while I was able to get
$1000 there with no security at all."
Cashier Allen on the stand told
about lending $500 to a man who se-
cured the note #ith bis homestead.
He said he did not know that such a
security was worthless.
He was asked about the loans made
to stockholders. He stated that they
came in, wrote out the checks, took
the money, and made the entries, until
they had large overdrafts, and then
made notes for the amount due.
Houston, the president of the bank,
was a man of many Irons in the fire.
He ran a livery barn, an undertaking
business, a racket store, a storage
warehouse, leased a large building and
sublet It, was a grand officer in sev-
eral negro lodges, and prominent In
many negro organisations.
Receiver Ledgerwood stated after
the hearing that the depositors oould
hope to get but a Small dividend on
their deposits.
