Waco, Tex., Apr. 22.-
audience of perhaps 1,500
representing various sect long’of" the
state the state-wide prohibitionists
yesterday formally Inaugura
their campaign In the auditorium
the Cotton Palace. Resolutions udopt
ed last night outlined the conten
tions of the prohibitionists and an-
swer arguments of the antis, but tile
features of the day came through
speeches.
Perhaps the leading feature was
the speech made at. the morning ses-
sion by Rev. Father Patrick
Murphy, speaking as a Catholic
priest, when he declared that the
issuo \vas not prohibition against
regulation, but the home against the
saloon. It was sought to be made
plain through this meeting that po-
litical ambitions nor the Bailey
question are to be permitted to di-
vide the prohibitionists.
Hon. Thomas H. Ball, chairman
of the statewide committee, to set
at rest rumors, effectually effaced
himself as a gubernatorial possibil
ity, declaring that he would not and
could not be a candidate. Mr Bali
is a Bailey man. To even up that
score. Hon. Horace W. Vaughan, an
anti-Bailey man, was chosen for tem-
iKirary chairman. Moreover, Mr.
Ball spoke, without mincing words
of the Bailey matter and declared
that it would not be permitted to <11
vide the prohibitionists.
Throughout the addresles the
speakers handed each other nice
compliments irrespective of their
standing upon the Bailey matter.
During the noon recess the dele-
gates read Senator Culberson's let-
ter announcing that he ta against
statewide prohibition. At the after-
noon session, when Senator Cofer was
£ boson to be permanent chairman, he
rapped Senator Culberson severely
on his argument but made no refer-
ence to the attitude of Senator
Bailey upon the subject.
Senator Cofer Is a Bailey man
So. too; Is Controller W. P. Lane.
When M!r. Lane spoke he went after
both of the senators, declaring that
no one could stand bet ween him and
statewide prohibition and if they
didn’t want to get burned they must
get out of the fire.
Gov. Colquitt came in for much
criticism, chiefly at the hands of
Senators Vaughan and Cofer and
Mr. Lane. Others who spoke during
the day were Hon. H. Basoom Thom-
as and Rev. John L. Andrews. Last
night speeches were made by Fath-
er Murphy. Dr. J. B. Gambrel!, Hon.
William Poindexter and Col. A. J.
Houston.
SAVED HIS MOTHER’S LIFE.
"Four doctors had given me up,
writes Mrs. Laura Gaines, of Avoca,
La., “and my children and all my
friends were looking for me to die,
when my -son insisted that I use
Electric Bitters. I did so, and they
have done me a world of good. 1
will always praise them.” Electric
Bitters is a priceless blessing to wo-
men troubled with Tainting and dizzy
spells, backache, headache, weak-
ness. debility, constipation or kid-
ney disorders. Use them and gain
new health, strength and vigor.
They’re guaranteed to satisfy or

’ April 2.1. I
Boston, Mass., April 22.—Mgny
Bostonians who had became victims
of the high finance methods of Rob-
ert Emerson DaVle, known as “The
Boy Broker," during his meteoric
career in this city, are awaiting with
considerable interest the return
the young man, who was arrested
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and is ^ due
to arrive in New York in charge
two police inspectors, on the steamer
Byron today or tomorrow.
Davie Is only twenty-five years
age now and was scarcely more than
boy when he began his career
Boston a few years ago. He had
been clerk in a broker’s office, but
this did not satisfy his ambition. He
went into business on his own ac-
count and opened an elegantly fur-
nished office (on State street. He
represented himself as being closely
connected with J. P. Morgan & Co.
and being of prepossessing appear-
ance, good address and pleasant
manners. Davie had no difficulty
winning the good will and confidence
of many wealthy business men and
capitalists. He was always well
dressed, occupied elegant apart
mentg in Brookline, had an automo-
bile and, began to build a stately
mansion for himself at Weston, one
of the aristocratic suburbs of Bos-
ton. He pretended to he extremely
religious and on various occasion
showed surprising familiarity with
the Bible. Hig interest in church
work won him the confidence of
many religious persons of wealth and
Induced even ministers to entrust
their savings to him for Investment
In a short time business became
extremely brisk and Davie realized
large profits from the Investments
entrusted to him. lie beenme quite
social factor, contributed liberally
to charitable and religious pur-
poses, gave extravagant dinners at
his apartment and siient money lav-
ishly until some time In the early
autlumn of last year, when he sud-
denly disappeared from Boston, leav-
ing his affairs in a decidedly unset-
tled condition. Soon complaints be-
gan to pour in from all sides.
The first complaint that was
made to the police came from Mrs
Hannnh L. Greenwood, wife of the
Rev. Lawrence B. Greenwood, the
evangelist, who charged that l>avle
had Htolen 510,550 worth of stock
certificates which she had intrust-
to his care. This led the police
authorities to make an investigation
into the methods of the fugitive
broker and soon a large amount of
incriminating evidence had been
gathered against Davie . Many
wealthy persons, who had been dqp-
by Davie, refused to make
charges against him, because they
were ashamed to admit how easily
they lfad been taken in by the dash-
ing young financier. However, sev-
eral of the victims began suits and
the property left behind by Davie
was seized and sold at auction.
The police authorities sent pic-
tures and descriptions of tlrtr fugi-
tive Davie to the authorities through,
out Jhc world and t.he circular sent
to the chief of police of Rio de Jan-
eiro, Brazil, led to the identification
nnd the arrest of Davie in that city
on February 23 of this year. Mr.
aieclit**, the American corsul In Rio
de Janeiro communicated by wire
with the Boston police and the lat-
ter applied to Secretary of State
Knox for a provisional order of de-
tention- Th’ order cou'.l not be
granted, however, as the charge
