Alderman Sam Blumenthal said:
"When Joe Sweeney was mayor a dis-
trici running from Seventh street to

would not invest their "money there,
and no accommodations could be had
for these people there, because that
is in the Chamizal district and no one
wanted fo invest money there. Thi?
old district has been established for
25 years "and we must have a placet
o keep them so they will not scatter
all over the city."
Alderman McGhee said: "We must
liave a district for these people or they
will fill the rooming houses and the
residence district of the city."
Alderman Blumenthal asked city at
torney W. M. Coldwell if there was
any penalty attached to the ordinance
for violations and he said: "No, it 13
intended to have the old penalties "ap
ply." Court Reverses Cases.

not yet seen my clients, but still be
lieve that the ordinance is invalid and

After Two Years, Navy and
Army Fight on Grridiron
For Football Honors.
TEAMS ARE ABOUT
EVENLY MATCHED
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 26. The Navy
defeated the Army 3 to 0 in the annual
football game on Franklin field today.
Captain Dalton was the hero of the
game, which was well played, before a
great throng, including army and navy
officials. Dalton kicked a field goal in
the final period and this was the only
score made. Previously he had made a
run of 50 yards.

There was no game- last year, due
to the death of a naval student as a
result of a football accident, the navy
canceling the rest of her games.
This year apparently the teams are
as nearly matched as it is possible
for two football teams to be. The
navy has not been scored upon, while
the army, with a harder schedule, has
been scored upon twice, one by a Tale
field goal and a touchdown by Har
vard. Washington society always journeys
to Franklin field in force for these
games, and today was no exception.
President Taft was unable to be
present, but Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen
Taft, vice president Sherman and
many senators and representatives, as
well as a host of army and naval offi-
cers, made up the Washington contin
gent. r

ton, occur -rea e5u L a wife

Wanted Last Look at Baby.
At 4 oclock Wednesday afternoon
nHflrnev D. M. Jackson received a
bcdly scrawled note from tnecoumj
I jail. "They have not brought the oaoj
yet," it said. At five the negro grew

Ed Mebus that he would not go. inej
had promised him he could see his
babv and he would not go without see
ing it. The jailor sent for his assist
ants, determined to take the prisoner
! bv force if necessary. Completely
overcome, the convicted man gave up
and allowed the chains to be put
around his neck and his hands cuffed
together.
Grandfather Says "Never."
In his hardware store on South Ore
gon street. C. C. Shel ton, the father
of the negro woman who wa killed,
pulled his big rimmed spectacles down
on his nose and swore an oath that
Lawson could never see the baby as
-
long as he lived. "He threw Its moth-
er down and pumped lead into her
body and she died without seeing it,
z can ent it.
After sentence was passed on the
negro wife murderer, judge Harper
told Shelton that he should bring the
baby to the Jail to see its father be
fore he was taken to prison to serve
out his sentence. Lawson's attorneys
say that Shelton promised to bring
the baby to the jail, and if they had
known that he would have failed they
would have asked for a writ of ha
beas corpus to compel the grandpar
ents of the child to do so. Shelton was
across the river on Wednesday even
ing and ' could not be reached, they
say, although he had been notified
evening and wished to see his baby be-

Shelton in. Mexico.
Shelton says that he was across the
river on business, having sold a hard
ware bill to a Mexican customer and
was forced to go across there to ar
range for its pas'sage across the bor

by judge Harper to take the baby to
see Its father, but was advised that he
ought to do it hj- the judge- "I never
want that baby to go Inside of a jail,"
he said. "I told the judge on the ench
that it would not help any to do that,
and I did not tell him I would do it.
i My wife was away from home that
evening and I was in Mexico. But I
never would allow him to see the baby
J if I could help it.M
CENTER OF COUNTY
IS CAUSE OF SUIT
Crosby County Seat Fight j
Hinges on Change of the
Geograxmic Center.
Fort Worth, Texas. Nov. 26. An in
junction granted by the district court
of Crosby county, forbidding the re
moval" of the county seat from Emma
to Crosby ton, following an election, on j
September IS, was dissolved today by
the court of civil appeals of the second
district.
The statute provides that a two
thirds vote is required to remove a
county seat to any point not within
five miles of the geographical center
of a county. Formerly Emma was
within this charmed circle, but just
before the election the land commis
sioner fixed a new point as the center
and Crosbyton is within five miles of
this point.
The election failed to give Crosby
ton a two-thirds vote, but the town
claims a majority, and it now only
requires fixing the new center. Emma
held that the commissioner had not
the power to change the center, but
the report today declares there is n
law prohibiting the naming of th
center a second time.
TAFT UNCERTAIN
ON THE TARIFF
Has Not Made Up His Mind
What He Will Say About
It in Message.
Washington, U. C, Nov-. 26. Pres
ident Taft was reported today as not
having fully made up his mind in re
gard to the tariff features of his
j forthcoming message. He had a long
conference with cnairman n. u. n;m
ery, of the tariff board, and talked
also with a delegation from the Na
tional Tariff Commission association.
The general impression in Washing
ton is that the president will be un
able to recommend a revision of any
particular schedule in his regular mes
sage. He probably will indicate that
the tariff board is not yet ready to
submit a detailed report on any one
of the shedules, and until the board is
able to submit data on which an abso
lutely scientific revision can be made,
the president will recommend that
any action on the tariff be deferred.
