Put Them On the Rock Pile
The occurrence in a hotel lobby In this city yes-
terday when an officer of the. insurreeto army was dis-
armed because he was looking for trouble with another
for whom he had expressed a personal dislike was
reprehensible and Intensely disgusting to the commu-
nity. in the first place the Mexican insurreeto or fed-
eral officer or soldier who visits El Paso and carries
concealed weapons, while he yells and blusters about
what he is going to do to the other fellow shows tnat
he Is not only tiresome but has no resepet or regard in
the rights of others, and he is therefore tniltled to no
leniency or consideration. It is up to the local police
force and every other officer of the city to perform
their duties and land these offenders against the peace
•nd dignity of the city on the rock pile for one hun-
dred days, more or less, where they will learn that the
law must not be further ignored.
Make Millions Out of Weeds
The agencies that build up a community most
rapidly, with a prosperity more nearly permanent than
that of others, are the Industrial plants-—preferably
more numerous than large—which convert the naturjl
products from waste material to articles having a com-
mercial value.
Notable among the products of the plains of this
arid region that have heretofore been regarded a« use-
less, but which have lately been found to be much valu-
able and rich In commercial products. These plant*
are (!> guayulc from which millions have been made
from the rubber it contains, and (2)' candllllla from
which a good quality of wax Is obtained.

Here arc two weeds that for hundreds of years
have been considered of no value and allowed to go to
waste, that have been turned Into fortune making com-
modities. Both grow on the mesas and plains of El
Paso and the counties around, and both in the crude
r»w state hear transportation without loss for long
distances.
There are other plants growing wild upon our
plains that contain valuable properties that could bn
utilized in commerce and would require small capital
for the erection of factories for their extraction, and it
Is numerous industrial plants that mike sure the pros-
perity of the community and fortify it against panic*
and fluctuations of trade.
With the establishment of peace In Mexico the
necessity of American troops to prevent violations of
the neutrality laws will no longer be patent. The prob-
abilities are, Sowever, that the troops will be held on
the border as long as there l« a semblance of disturb-
ance In Mexico.
The business men of El Paso are rejoicing over the
prospects for the Immediate resumption of railway
traffic in the state of Chihuahua. Mexico, which will
practically open up again the business Interests of th*
northern part of the republic that have so long been
paralyzed. With the inauguration of freight and pas-
senger train servire will come a wholesale resumption
of business and business Is something decidedly In El
Paso's line.
No sensible man can doubt that the real estate
value* of this section will practically double in value
within the next five years, and the man who invests his
money here will have the proud satisfaction of seeing
is grow in a manner that Is suro to bring him affluence
If he will but stay with it.
Senator Lonmer, of Illinois, is still maintaining a
very diacreet silence, and this Is one time In his pic-
turesque career that such a silence Is eminently be-
coming.
The provisional government established in the
capital at Juarez, has gotten down to business In a
manner suggestive of the fact that it knows w hat It is
there for.
The exportation of cattle through the port of
Palomas. opposite Columbus, New Mexico, i* to be stop-
ped by order of the provisional government of Mexico
The port of Juares Is now open and the Intention Is to
compel the exportation ol all Chihuahua cattle through
that port.

The Passing of Fads in Court Procedure
While the chattering of walla over across the river
ts over, the shattering of Idols and well built up
theories ts going on over In this country-
An exchange tells of a criminal case which was
recently disposed of in New York without a trial be-
cause conviction could only have been secured by the
jury accepting as convincing evidence of the guilt of
REBEL INDIAN SKIRMISHERS
==-
the accused certain finger prints which could only be
seen by the use of a- microscope.
It appears that the article bearing the fing?r
marks was submitted to the Jury that had been select-
ed to try the case and five of them said they would
have convicted the accused on the evidence of these
finger prints, while ihc other seven had other doubts.
"We take the skepticism of these seven Jurymen,"
says our contemporary, "a* a sign that there is a re-
vulsion agalnat the notion that finger-print evidence
Is Infallible, and that a fellow-being should under all
circumstances Ijp sent to prison, or, perhaps, the gal-
lows or the electric chair, because of thumb marks on
a door, window, or piece of furniture.
"The minute an Idea takp* the form of a craze, it
is time to regard It with suspicion.
"And this Bertlllon business, Including the
Tudd'nhead Wilson' theory of thumbs and finger
prints, has become pretty near a craze. *
"Unquestionably the Bertlllon system Is of great
value,
"But those who assume It Is Incapable of a flaw
or break, are carrying matters too far.”
Our contemporary then refers to the fading of
faith In the bloodhound fad. The value of a blood-
hound as a trailer of criminals has for years been con-
sidered a Joke by many In the very section-—the 'Caro-
lines, Georgia, and the gulf states—where It was one*
considered infallible, though the bloodhound still has
Its champions, they seldom get on Juries, or at_ least
the Juror that would give any weight to the blood-
hound's evidence Is a very rare bird.
Our contemporary cites a case where a blood-
hound was brought in action to run down the perpe-
trator of an atrocious crime In a town where the opin-
ion prevailed that a bloodhound would go straight to
the criminal as a bullet .to a target. The bloodhound
made his way straight to the home of one of the most
prominent and respected citizens of the town. He was,
however, able to break the bloodhound's testimony by
the fact that when the crime of which the bloodhound
accused him was committed, lje with hia wife and
seventy-five other church people were drinking tea at
a church social.
The "thumb and finger marks" and the Bertlllon
system have lost largely their character of Infallibility
In the matter of Identification of criminals, because
they were considered infallible and proven not to be.
All this by way of leading up to subject of court
reforms tn the interest of justice and to suggest that a
reform In the matter of evidence and manner of obtain-
ing It would appear to be concomitant of the reform, In
that precaution sh*ould be taken against undue reliance
upon such fads as the “thumb and finger prints," the
tpor
Ul»o
blgodhbund and the Bertlllon system.
When Democratic congressman begin to fight and
row among themselves they are carrying much comfort
and consolation Into the camp of the enemy.

SENATORS’ AGIN

Line With Harlan’s Distent
Great' interest attaches to the work that is pro-
gressing on the gregt Elephant Butte (lam, and people
In other states are making many inquiries as to the
probable time of its completion. There arc great
things in store for the Rio Grande valley and they are
not going to be long In materializing.
President Taft says he gets his law from the
Supreme Court of the United States, but It la evident
he has been compelled to greatly modify his views in
order to do so. In the Standard Oil case decision the
court has laid down a principle of law the president
had declared Impossible.

Washington, May 17.—As Indicating ths
possible effect on legislation of the su.
preme court's Standard Oil decision,
three bills were Introduced In the senatf
today, ono by Senator Jones of Wash-
ington. Republican, and tho other two
from Senators Culberson of Texas, and
Reed of ..ilssouri, Demirrats. All look
to ame-ndment of the Sherman anti-trust
law to include all combinations In re-
straint of trade, regardless of their rea-
sonableness or unreasonableness and all
are suggested by Justice Harlan's dis-
senting view lu 'the Standard Oil case.
The reciprocity measure with Canada is stirring
up the opposition, which realizes during its pendency in
the senate is the only time they will have a whack at
it. And the protected interests arc taking a whack at
it at every turn la the legislative road.
Senator Culberson seeks to make the pro-
vision prohibiting combinations apply tu
all such combinations of "whatever
character.”
The Jones bill so amends the law as to
declare all combinations illegal "whethei
reasonable or unreasonable." Mr. Reed’s
bill provides that all combinations In re-
straint of trade shall be held "unreason-
able and Illegal in all proceedings In law
and equity,"
Senators generally agree that Ihc Indi-
cations favor a general Hcitation to
amend the existing law, but too subject
Is of such importance that no one ex-
pects any serious effort in the present
sesslon,
Ghalrman Clayton, of the house com-
mittee on judiciary, expressed the pre-
vailing view when he said: "I do not an-
ticipate any activity with regard to
remedial trust legislation. It seems to
me that It would be wise for congress
wait and see the effect of the decision
upon the busts, particularly as to dis-
tinction between reasonable and unrea-
sonable restraint of trade, before we ini-
tiate any legislation."
While Woodrow Wilson is setting the world afire
In ihc Northwest, William J. Bryan Is Investing In a
tract of land near Houston, upon which he proposes to
grow- oranges. And growing oranges Is a much more
peaceful and lucrative avocation than sowing the
seeds of the apple of discord. It Is probable, however,
that Col, Brian does not view the Wilson stunt with
any marked degree of enthusiasm.

Some of the Arizona cattlemen arc planting North
Carolina poplar trees on their ranges in order to make

was the Information brought to Tuc-
son today by mining men who arrived
from that district.
Representative A. M. Turney, of the Alpine district,
has been appointed county Judge of Brewster county,
and tendered his resignation as a member of the Texas
state legislature. And In his retirement the people of
West Texas lose the sen iocs of a valuable man among
the lawmakers.
Another of the reforms demanded by the Mexican
revolutionists Is about to be inaugurated by the govern-
ment in the opportunity that Is to be given the masses
to acquire homes through the division and sale of th*
largtl lauded estates. The successful carrying out of
this policy will mean much that is good for the republl*
of Mexico and its people. It should have been done
however, many years ago. >
Not only are the rebels administer-
ing the affairs of the entire territory,
but they are doing It without danger
to life or property of the inhabitants,
Americans, Mexicans or Indians, the
arrivals state. They deny emphati-
cally that tho rebels are guilty of
looting or of devastation of property.
Th* federals at each town were
given opportunity to evacuate with-
out bloodshed, and did so in each in-
stance. At Cabora, It Is stated, the
federal commander offered to let the
rebels enter the town and take what-
ever they wanted for two hours. If
they would.
The rebels considered this equiva-
lent to a proffer of free looting. It isf j
stated, but declined. They took the t
town, whlchc Is the first important
station south of Sasabe on the pro- !
posed Port Lobos railroad, driving for
the federal officer and his men.
two commanders of the rebels arrived
in Tucson this morning after a flying
-trip from Altar to Tucson by automo-
bile. They are Diego Moreno, who
t ntil a few days ago was prefect of
Altar and Jefe de Armas of the entire
district, and Jack E. Kelly, un Ameri-
can mining man,
"Wo are willing to announce," said
Mr. Kelly, "that we are Maderistas
through and through; that we have
been the leaders in the recent rebel
activities in northwestern Sonora;
that we arc fighting for the cause
which we believe to be iRght; and that
we are going this evening to Nogales
to join the Maderists there and plan
our campaign."
The announcement of the identity
of the rebel leaders and of their con-
nections was mado this morning only
after a prolonged conference with
local sympathizers who met them at
the Santa Rita hotel. For some time
this morning they wore greeted al-
mist constantly by Tucson Maderists
who dropped in to congratulate
them.
Diego Moreno was warmly greeted.
A heavily 'built man of middle age
and pleasant face, he was until a few
weeks ago an appointee of General
Luis Torres with power absolute In
his district. He. was head of all
things civil and military, in command
of the federal soldiers in all tho neigh-
boring towns, supervisor of customs,
and chief factor in every w-ay.
The story of his rupture with the
government and his renunciation of
the federal cause was related with his
consent by Mr. Kelly as follows:
“The rebels captured Petiqutta.
Upon hearing of It. Gen. Torres tele-
graphed Prefect Boreno to_ lead his
federals out and retake the town.
Moreno refused to obey, for the reason
that the soldiers were ragge.d, in dire
need of clothes, shoes, and food. Gen.
Torres again ordered him to take the
town and he again declined, but Capt.
Flores was sent out with a force of
federals. The rebets had withdrawn
and Flores took the town. He gave
his soldiers permission to loot the
town for two hours, which they did.
On hearing of it, the prefect hastened
to Petequita, took the loot away from
the federals, and piled it in the prin-
cipal street with a guard over it. I-Id
then summoned the inhabitants and
restored their property to them.
Prom that moment he renounced
the federal government utterly.
He discharged the federal soldiers,
opened the jail at Altar, liberated the
prisoners, and told them to join what-
ever cause they wished.
Since then Moreno atid I have been
in active control or the rebels, though
the leadership was not known pub-
licly. We made one trip alone to
Bataluma where we knew the rebels
were in power. Having just arrived
from Mexicali, they did not know us.
We were arrested, thrown in Jail, and
kept there three days. But when we
and our connection with the rebels
Ueame known, we were released.
"Yesterday I left Tucson in an auto-
mobile. and went across the lino into
the mountains near Baludo where I
met Moreno and his men. We went
out from the mountains and captured
Altar without any resistance whatever.
We had 500 rebels and they are now
at the town.
“Feeling the necessity for getting
to Nogales as soon as possible to aid
the cause there, wc left our command
at five o'clock yesterday evening.
Our men, all tn line, gave us a hearty
farewell with cheers of 'Viva Madero,
Viva Moreno y Kelly.' "

SHEHL1ED RULER
L*>c*l Elks Measure Up to Every
Requirement of Situation
RULER HERRMAN IS PLEASED
Nev«r Before Given a More Royal Re-
ception Than Wat Accorded Him
*■> El Paso
"Since my election to the office ol
grand exalted ruler I have been received
and entertained by the Elks of many r "
cities. But nowhere have I met with
such a royal reception and such whole-
soul hospitality as I have met with in
El Paso^ ' This was the declaration of
Grand Exalted Ruler August Herman of
the Elks, at the conclusion of the social
session at the Elks' home last night. 1
The grand exalted ruler, accompanied
by Mr. Strauss, arrived over the Sunset
route from the east at 6 o'clock and was
met at the union station by about 125
local Elks and the Fourth U, 8. cavalry
band. This splendid musical organiza-
tion was mounted on Its well trained
horses.
As Exalted Ruler, J. W. Yard, Grand
Deputy Edward Kneezell and members of
the reception committee emerged from
the union depot with the distinguished
visitor the band played "Hall to the
Chief.”
Then the grand exalted ruler entered
an automobile with Exalted Ruler Yard 1
and Grand Deputy Kneezell and Mr.
Strauss. Other officers and members of
the reception committee in automobiles
and Elks afoot formed the procession
with the band in. front. The streets were
thronged with people who stopped to
watch the parade to the Elks' home.
At the home a course dinner was serv-
ed to Mr. Herrmann, Mr. Strauss, Mr.
Kneezell, Mayor Kelly and Col. Steever
and officers of his staff.
The social session with the company
seated at two long tables loaded with a
swell Dutch lunch began at 9 o'clock.
After everybody was seated the chair-
man of the entertainment committee ‘
asked the exalted ruler to name a master
of ceremonies for the social session and
In a neat introductory speech. Dr. Yard
named Exalted Leading Knight V IL
Stiles.
Mr. Stiles took chargo and made an
Ideal toastmaster. On each occasion his
Introductory remarks were both witty
and eiuquent. He began Iv1 asking the
hungry company to eat and drink and
with a cheer they went to it. There
were just 212 men present. f
The band stationed on the balcony
above the court discoursed sweet music
while the eating was In progress. But
this story must be cut short to make
room for Mexico war news.
Zark Lamar Cobb met the expectations
of his friends in his eloquent address of
welcome to the grand exalted ruler and
he found plenty of opportunity for the
play of Ms sparkling wit.
Mr. Herrmann, replied earnestly to the
address of Welcome. He said he was
born a. German, that the taro fs and
ns In his name gave him free entry Into
all of the German dubs; that he cut oft *
an r and an n and at once became an
Jsrallto. Then he got into the baseball
fight and was called Garibaldi which was
Italian and that on the 17th of March ho
added an O to Ills name, making It Garry
O'Hherman and marched at the head
of the Irish procession.
The exalted ruler is a good talker and
a capable, practical business man. He
made a strong appeal for the national
home of the Elks.
W. W. Brldgers In a speech fairly bub-
bling with humor presented to the exalt-
ed ruler a very handsome Mexican hat
with a silver clasp bearing the inscription
"August Herrmann, from El Paso lodge,
B. P. O. E„ No. 187, May 17. 1911." ,
Col. E. Z. Steever, of the U. S. A.. '
was forced to make a speech and he
ma<|e a good one. The colonel is a prime
favorite In EUPaao.
Capt. Shirrer, of the Fourth cavalry
was also forced to make a speech and
proved to be the find of the evening. Me
fairly selntllated with wit and kept the
crowd roaring with laughter over liis
quaint humor.
A tenor solo by Joe Kelly, a bass solo
by Mr. Waddell, formerly of the Boston
opera company and selections by the
Scrap Iron Glee club were special features
of the splendid program rendered. - /,
The 11 o’clock toast was given by Cldft
Fuller, followed by the band plavrng
"America,” and the entire company
singing the grand old hymn.
At 12:30 today Mr. Hqrrmann will be
the guest of the chamber of commerce
at Its weekly luncheon.
