Company's warehouse and service sta-
tion at McKinney avenue and Milby
street, after smashing the combina-
tion and swinging open the outer door
of the safe early Monday morning.
Inside the inner door, which proved
impregnable was $400 in cash.

WHAT WE DO CLAIM
Roosevelt, N. J., January 20.
Nineteen men were shot, one of them
flying and four being mortally
wounded in a pitched battle between
260 striking laborers and 50 deputy
sheriffs at the plant of the American
Agricultural Chemical company here
Tuesday.
The light occurred when the strik-
ers stopped a Central Railroad of
New Jersey train from Elizabethport
to see if it had brought strikebreak-
ers to the plant. There were no
strikebreakers aboard, but a few of-
fice employees who were passengers
started an outcry, apparently believ-
ing that the strikers Intended harm
to them.
In answer to the call, 50 deputy
sheriffs, armed with rlfleB and revolv-
ers, ran to the scene from the com-
pany's plant, where they had been
stationed for the last two weeks. A
general counter resulted.
At first only stones were used
Then someone fired a shot. This
was the signal for a fusillade which
came apparently from both sides.
None of the deputies were injured,
but many of the strikers fell. Most
of the wounded men were shot
through the legs, as the deputies fir-
ed low. The strikers dispersed
some of them carrying the wounded
men aw^iy.
The four most seriously wounded,
it was said, probably would die.
District Superintendent Champion
of the company, who is in charge of
the plant here, said the strikers had
held up the train by piling railroad
ties across the tracks and that the
deputies were compelled to use fire-
arms to protect themselves and the
office employees.
The strike at the plant has been
on for two weeks. According to the
company's statement, approximately
half of their 400 employees are af-
fected. The strikers are unskilled
laborers, it is said, who quit work
when their demand for an increase
of 40 cents a day waB refused. The
men receive approximately $2 a day
each. The plant is still in opera-
tion.
There has been frequent clashes
between the strikers' pickets and
workmen and deputies at the plant.
A number of shots were fired in an
encounter yesterday, but no one was
injured.
Strike leaders said the total casu-
alties were 19 and that one of the
wounded died on the way to k hos-
pital. Another wounded man was
said to be in a critical condition

OIL & MANUFACTURING CO.
Washington, January 20.-—The Brit-
ish government will not consent to
allow the steamer Dacla, recently
transferred from Germap to Ameri-
can registry, to proceed to Rotterdam
under safe conduct *jith her cargo
of cotton, the state department was
notified today from London.
The British reply to suggestions
for a safe conduct recently made by
the state department came through
the American embassy. While the
text of the message was withheld, it
was known the British objection was
based broadly on reluctance, to cre-
ate a precedent which probably would
be followed by slinllar purchases in
America of German ships and efforts
to operate them in the former Ger-
man trade routes.
The British note does not under-
take to assert the right of Great
Britain to interfere with ships pur-
chased and transferred to the Amer-
ican flag In a legitimate way. The
objection to the transfer of the Da-
cla, according to the British view,
is that it was not genuine, it being
intimated the British government be-
leves the American purchaser really
was acting for German principals.
The Dacia's cotton cargo Is not
subject to seizure and the British
note leaves it to be inferred that if
the owners of the cotton do not make
over arrangements for its shipments
to Germany and the Dacia puts to
sea, the cotton will either be unload-
el in an English port and placed at
the disposal of the owners to for-
ward to Germany by another and
neutral ship, or be appropriated by
England upon payment of its invoice
value.
The state department has inform-
ed Mr. Breitung, owner of the ship
of England's refusal to promise not
to seize the Dacia. As he has stat-
ed to the department that the freight
charges upon the cotton would about
equal the purchase price of the ship,
it is assumed he will take the chance
of making the voyage and if the Da-
cia is seized, will go before a Brit-
ish prize court.
State department officials believe
the court will liberate the Dacia if
the British government is content, aB
it says It is, to take'the stand upon
the genuineness of the transfer, in
view of the evidence on that point
submitted to the department.
We "extend to our patrons and friends
thanks for their part years business, and we >
for a continuance of same.

HIS IS TEE DAY Of SYSTEM
The man or merchant who does not systematize his work or busi-
ness is the one who complains of hard times. The up-to-date man
uses an up-to-date system and can figure on his future.
One of the most necessary parts of such a system is a Bank
Account with a strong, progressive bank. The man _ or firm that
wants to start now to properly systemize should come in and see us.;
We can probably offer some valuable suggestions and talk about the^
Bank Account later.

SCARE CAPITAL
OFF AT SEATTLE
Seattle, Wash., January 20.-v-Ia
two propositions submitted to th
city council, abandonment of proj-
ects for municipal ownership o
street railways is foreshadowed be
cause of motor bus competition. One
a resolution Introduced yesterday by
the leader of the municipal owner-
ship forces in the council, provides
for dropping all litigation seeking to
acquire an electric line to a subur
ban town. The other, a message
from Mayor Hiram C. Gill, vetoed a
bill passed by the council to submit
to voters a plan to extend the pres-
ent municipal line three miles. The
mayor's message said:
"Automobiles are about to Buper-
sede car lines. Street railways in
ail parts of the country are experl
encing difficulty In raising money for
fear of motor bus competition. If
the city, in the face of this fact, be
gins to spend money on further ex-
tensions we are fools rushing in
where angels fear to tread."
Five hundred motor bus drivers
at a meeting last night, decided to
form a corporation to be known at
the Seattle Auto Transit association
The business of the organization will
be to supervise schedules, assign
routes, protect members in litigations
and promote the safety of bus pa-
trons.
Houston, January 20.—War on
the white slave traffice in Texas was
declared Tuesday morning at the
meeting of the special service com-
mission of the Southern Methodist
church of this State, when the com-
missioners voted to get behind a bil
to be introduced in the legislature
now In session, prohibiting the trans
porting of women from one county
to another for immoral purposes
The bill, the provisions of which
were outlined at the conference, is
similar to the Mann act 'of the fed-
eral government which makes it a
felony to transport women from one
state to another for immoral pur-
poses, and it is the plan to simply
bring a piece of legislation of this
character into the service of the state
restrict the traffic within the state
as it is in the nation.
The commissioners have been ad-
vised by lawyers that such j^ate leg-
islation will be constitutional, and
it Is understood that a certain fed-
eral judge of Texas hag drafted a
bill containing these provisions and
that officials of the state ranger force
are in favor of it and all will lend
their support. Rev. J. D. Sqott,
head of a rescue home in San Anto
nio; Dr. W. D. Bradfleld, pastor of
Travis Park Methodist church, San
Antonio, and Rev. J. A. Phillips of
San Antonio have been appointed a
committee to handle the matter.
While in session the Commission-
ers also adopted unanimously a res-
olution commending Senator Morris
Sheppard for his "stand on all moral
questions".

AN EXPLANATION
Almost every day we have some one complain that they did not
get 35 oysters for 35c. We sell oysters by measure only, because it
is the fair and honest way to sell them. A pint of oyster meat is
worth 35c. Now if you get 20 large oysters for 85c are you not
getting the same amount of oyster meat as if you had gotten 50
small oysters? A pint is a pint whether it contains 20 large or"60
small oysters. We want to treat our customers right but at the
same time we want to treat ourselves right, too.
Phone us your orders now and get some of the best oysters that
ever came to Brenham.
