part of the chamber, When the vote
was had on the loaning resolution, all
Democrats and Republicans except
Hey burn voted for it.
Resolution Reported,
The resolution was reported in its
regular order. Heyburn was prompt
to raise an objection and Mr. Bank
head just as alert in moving the con-
sideration regardless of the objection.
It Immediately was evident that the
objection had aroused some feeling
for, with flushed face and animated
voice, Mr. Bailey who sat near Bank-
head declared that if ibis resolution
were ruled out of order no other Inis'-
ness could be transacted.
The Bankhead motion being tin
debatable the senate Immediately pro-
ceeded to an aye and nay vote, on
the question as to whether the reso
lution should be taken up. This was
decided In the affirmative unanimous-
ly. Mr. Heyburn not voting.
Goes Over War Issues.
Mr. Heyburn then - spoke for.
probably 40 minutes In which time he
went over many of the Issues of tho
war and declared himself us much a
patriot now as he had be a in 1802,
1863 and 1864- There were no ma-
terial interruptions but all senators
listened with evident Interest,
Southern Senators Consult,
The southern senators held a bur-
question to go to a vote after
laconic remark by Mr. Bankhead.
It so chanced that Heyburn’s col-
bagtte, Senator Borah of Idaho, was
the first of the Republicans to be
reached in the roll call, Without n
i witch of countenance he voted in
:if patriotism and who would not fol-
low them in that course.
Front the consideration of the pend-
ing resolution Heyburn turned tem-
porarily to the question -of the wis-
dom of placing a statue of General
Lee in the Hail of Fame in the na-
favor of the adoption of the resolution | tiounl capital, lie did not mention

to a newsboy for $2 and then buried
their money in the ground beneath
the platform of the James A. Dick
warehouse.
One of (he detectives crawled un-
der the platform yesterday and dug
up the money, $2 of which had been
planted in one spot and $3.50 in an-
other.
The boys told several stories as to
their disposition of the stolen goods.
They first said they had thrown the
watch away and later said they had
sold it, but refused to give the name
of the buyer. As a result they spent
last night in jail. One of the boys
cried loud and long and it is believed
that today he will make a full con-
fession.
BUILDING ASSOCIATION MEETS.
Las Cruces, N. M-, Feta. 7.—The local

ing this afternoon at 4 o’clock. Routine
business and the appointment of a sec-

Nearly 30 cases were heard In police
court yesterday, most of which were
of minor Importance. It was the same
old story heard every day, and es-
pecially on Monday, the tales of
drunks, vugs and fighters.
The cases against seven women ar-
rested by Officer Barney Early Satur-
day and Sunday were all called. The
case against Mrs. Fagan was con-
tinued until todav, Mrs. Hall and
Mrs Mary Weber were found not
guilty and Marguerite Johnson, Maria
Bustamente and Julia Marques for-
feited their bonds by non-appearance.
Tlie Johnson woman’s bond was for
$10 and those of the other two women
were for $5 each. Lqlii Smith, tho
negress arrested for soliciting on San
Francisco street, drew a $10 fine,
though she protested to the last that,
she was the wrong person.
Luis Jimenez and A. T. Mendez, the
two hoys who with the two Mexican
girls who forfeited their bonds,' were
arrested Sunday night in a room at
Second and Santa Fe streets on thj
charge of being drunk and disturbing
the peace, were released when they
testified that they were not drunk or
loud. They said the noise came front
one of the girls who had imbibed a
little more than she could handle in
silence. The boy’s were warned to
be more careful in the future.
Fred Coleman and l^ewls Zitzow ar-
rived in El Paso the other day from
New Jersey and were immediately at-
tested tor vagrancy. They told Judge

was in the affirmative. 1 asked him
further if tin* rebel flag was to be
carried over this property of the Unit-
ed States and he replied that both the
uniform anil tlie rebel and Union flags
were always carried at these
unions.“
Praises G. A. R.
Mr, Heyburn then proceeded to say
that while he did not want to open
tlie wounds of the war he still thought
the south had made a great mistake
iii that war. He had been told that
the government was i nthe habit of
making such loans to tlie Grand Army
of the Republic and he thanked God

Marshalls, your early Lees, your Mon-
roes and your Honrys. Don’t violate
a sentiment which yon know to exist
and which exists today as it did in
the sixties.

Jeff Davis Interrupts.
At (bis point Air Heyburn ivi ived
Ills only Interruption, it tame from
Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas who.
even Without awaiting the permission
of tlie Idaho senator abruptly inter-
[posed ilie question:
“Were you In the war”"
"Oh." responded Heyburn. that is I
the stock question of the cheap re-,
p'orter."
"I understand," replied Mr. Davis, j
that the senator represents 264 i
niggers in his state."
j Responding to the lust interruption j
HoVburn said if there were 264 j
negroes in his state he intended to!
try to represent them. He added that
and that it was not his intention to
"wave the bloody shirt.’’ 1 am,” he
said, "as far from doing that as any

ing on the shores of discontent and

posed if bis was the only voice to
be raised in opposition; he Would vote

Surrounded by an admiring circle of
reporters and sporting men, the two
noted pugilists were completing the
arrangements for their decisive con-
test.
"There’s one more detail." said one
of the prospective contestants
"When Is the fight to take place?"
The other pondered a moment.
"How would the year 1924 do” he
naked finally.

with a frown. "That's too far off—

TERRIBLE PICT ERE
OF SUFFERING
A Terrible Picture of Suffer-
ing, Drawn by Mrs. Me
Elroy, of Clinton, Ky„
Points Its Own Moral.
Clinton. Ky.—--| was a sufferer for
six years from female troubles, l
could not eat and could not stand on
my feet, without suffering great pain.
"I tried three of the best doeto'v in
the state of Kentucky and they said
i was in a critical condition and going
down hill.
"1 had lost all hope of ever being
better. 1 was so weak l had to be
helped up and down. I bad neuralgia,
dragging sensations and such awful
hurting, low down in my right side, I
could hardly bear it.
"After using Cardui, for one week, I
found I was getting better, so I con-
tinued to take it and ip four months
time I felt better than I had in six
years.
"I advise all suffering women to
take Cardui. 1 got more benefit from
$3 worth of Cardui than from $100
worth of doctors’ medicines."
The only way you can gel the bene
fit of the genuine Cardui herbs, is by
buying a bottle of Cardui, at your
druggist’s He does not keep the crude
drug, as it is not in the pharmaco-
poeia
Fifty years of proof, of its merit, in
actual practice, has convinced us, and
those who have tested it, of the value
of Cardui, in female weakness and
disease.
Why not test it for yourself ?

secured and shortly thereafter the io
cal authorities launched an energetic
campaign against the car thieves.
This fcampaign showed that Mexi-
can brakemen composing Cook's train
crew were systematically robbing
freight cars, throwing ofr merchan-
dise while the trains were pulling
into Guadalajara at night. The mer-
chandise was picked up by confed-
erates and later sold to local mer-
chants. Fourteen arrests were made
the number including three merchants
—two Frenchmen and a Spaniard—in
whose possession goods stolen from
Cook’s train were found.
Guilty of Negligence.
As far as can be learned the Mexi-
can court does not accuse Cook of
participating in the robberies, but
held him on a charge of "contributory
negligence,:’ which means that it is
assumed that negligence on his part
in the care of trains made it possible
for the brakemen to rob the cars.
Cook was called to the third crini.
inal court on August 30, presumably
as a witness, and after some ques-
tions was committed to the peniten-
tiary, where he has since remained.
The railroad officials do not con-
nect Cook with tlie robberies, and in
statements issued by the Guadalajara
division of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors it is set forth that the Mex-
ican brakemen who committed the
robberies declared the American con-
ductor had no knowledgeurrhe thefts.
A feature of the Cook case that
aroused great feeling was, the refusal
of Judge Palafox to accept bail for
the American conductor while accept-1
ing bond for the three foreign mer i
chants in whose possession the stolen !
goods were found. The judge based
his refusal on the ground that the
value of the merchandise stolen was
such that conviction in the eve meant
a sentence of five years or more In
the penitentiary, and that imier tlie
Mexican laws aceeptanre- of bond in
cases of such magnitude Ik not, al-
lowed. He said that he was aide to
accept bond for the release of rhe
others because even in the event of
their-conviction of receiving stolen
goods, their punishment would be less
than five years ,in the penitentiary. I
Cook came to Guadalajara from tlie
Panhandle of Texas more Ilian two;
years ago. His home is in Fort Scott
Kan., where his pareuts reside. His1
wife, who accompanied him to this'
city, died of smallpox a few mon'hs!
after their arrival.
Other American railroad men have
been held in Mexican prisons for sev-
eral months while cases against them
were being investigated, but it is be-
lieved that up to this time all sucii
cases have involved the killing of
persons by trains. So far as known
the Cook case is the only one that has
resulted in long imprisonment in con-
nection with freight robberies.
Drs. Frank Hall and Edward L. Stew-
art. Attorneys have been attempting
to serve the subpoenas a week. The
women readily accepted service.
Dr. Hyde filed a suit for $100,000
for alleged slander against Attorney
John G. Paxton today, and service was
obtained upon the attorney at the in-
quest. A similar suit against Mr.
Paxton was dismissed by Dr. Hyde in
order to keep from giving his deposi-
tion before the inquest began over
the body of Col. Swope.
Miss Keller testified regarding tho
actions of Col. Swope when his old
friend. Thomas Moss Hunton, died of
apoplexy two days before the million-
aire’s death. The blow of his friend’s
death grieved Swope very much and
he went into seclusion for hours, re-
fusing to see any one but Mr. Span-
gler, his financial agent.

"Once, oil a dripping winter day in j
London, a sulphur-brown or pea-soup I

"When the Parsee got off, the dt-iv- j

his whip, said to me:
" -Would you mind tailin’ me. sir |
