Part of Program of Texas
Dry Farm Congress to Be
a Big Feed.
PROMINENT MEN
TO MAKE TALKS
Uvalde, Texas, Aug. 8. Probably no
place In the southwest is so "well
known for Its quality and quantity of
honey as TJvalde. This has led the
Business Men's club of the town to
plan an unique feature in the enter
tainment of the Texas Dry Farming
congress on August 23, 24 and 26.
All delegates will be taken in au
tomobiles to an apiary near town
where they will havp the opportunity
of seeing the honey taken from the
hives, the process of extracting from
the comb, the "making of comb foun
dation, etc
Fresh milk and butter will then be
brought from a Jersey dairy on an ad
Joining farm and In the shade of mag
nificent llveoaks the guests will break
biscuit and rolls, hot from 'the oven,
crown them in fresh country butter,
saturate them in honey fresh from
the hive and wash them down with a
full capacity of fresh sweet milk, un
robbed of cream and unmixed with
water.
Those who want something more
invigorating and stimulating than milk
will be prpvided with metheglln, the
wine of honey, a drink that TJvalde
people say would put beer and whisky
out of business if there were only
enough of the raw material to make
it of.

cablegram said to have been sent by
provisional president Francisco De la
Barra, of Mexico, to Jose Yves Liman
toux, who is in Paris, a copy of which
H. D. Bradfield, a mining man from

La Barra Declares Mexico
at Peace.
Mexico City, Mex., Aug. 8. Orders
have been issued for the movement of
1800 troops from the capital and from
the state of Jalisco to Lower California
to join In the campaign against the
Magonistas, who recently have shown
increased activity. The expedition will
be under the direction of Gen. Gordlllo
Escudero, late of Chihuahua, The troops
will embark at Manzanillo.
De La Barra Sees Peace.
"On your return to the United States,
I hope that you will take occasion
to inform your countrymen that peace
and order are rapidly being reestab
lished throughout the republica," said
the president this afternoon to Dr. L. S.
Rowe, of the University of Pennsyl
vania, -who had been granted an audi
ence at Chapultepec Continuing, he
said:
"The uniform incidents Immediately
following the revolution were the inr I
evitable consequences of a period of J
unrest, but now the government is
ahla tn TTnfA lifo trtr nrnnprtv in I
all parts of" the republic There need j
ibe. no further fears for foreigners, as
the government is fully determined
that nothing shall occur -which will
give rise to uneasiness. Today, as
heretofore, Mexico welcomes the incor
poration of friendly capital in the de
velopment of her resources."
Against Gen. Reyes.
The sentiment against Gen. Reyes at
Monterey, where he used to be gover
nor. Is crystallzlng fast into open op
position. It 4s declared that Jose Naranjo,
hijo, will form an anti-Reyes club,
which will be founded along the. prin
ciples of the Popular Evolution party.
The Dos .de Abril club has been or
ganized to combat the candidacy of
Gen. Reyes for the presidency, and
the president of the club has Issued
a strong circular against the candidacy
"of Gen. Reyes.
It is believed that the Reform party
of Nuevo Leon will support Gen. Reyes
for the presidency.
ELECTIONISOUIET
IN ALAMOS REGION
Yaquis Are Beported
as
Troublesome in That
Section Again.
Alamos, Sonora, Mex., Aug. 8. The
late state and district election did not
create so much as a ripple on the sur
face of the sea of politics.
Another election will be held on
August 26 for "presidente" and "mesa
directlva" of the city -of Alamos, and,
from all indications now, there will
be more interest manifested In this
than there was In the state election,
as there are two political clubs fully
organized, each with a full ticket. The
newspaper, "El Democrata Alamense,"
is supporting the ticket of the Mare
rista club and a newspaper, the "Evo
lucion," has been started to advocate
the ticket of "El Club Electoral Inde
pendiente." It Is reported that there is still a
great deal of unrest among the Taquis
in this and the Guaymas, Hermoslllo
and Sahuaripa districts, and that it is
spreading among the Mayas of this
state and Slnaloa. There Is a report
that six Taquis were killed in the
Guaymas district a few days ago. The
Indians claim that It was promised
them that their lands would be re
turned to them, a promise which ap
pears difficult if not Impossible, to
perform. It seems to be the general
feeling, however, that something will
be done, and a satisfactory solution
of the problem is looked for.
BRESNAHAN'S FOOT
PUT UNDER X-RAY
St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 8. An X-ray ex
amination was made on the right foot
of Roger Bresnahan, the manager of
the St. Louis National league baseball
team, to find out if a bone was broken.
Bresnahan was hit by a foul ball In
yesterday's game. The foot swelled to
double its usual size and he was not
able to walk from the club house.
Prior to the development of X-ray
plate the attending physician ex
pressed the belief that Bresnahan was
suffering from a severe bruise and
that no bone was broken.
Legislators Declare Inten
tion of .Forcing Witnesses j
to Talk.
NO MONEY TO
PAY EXPENSES
Austin, Texas, Aug. 8. No action
has, as yet, been taken by the senate
Investigating committee to compel W.
H. Gray, the antl attorney, to testify.
""We will not say now what we are
going to do," said chairman Vaughan,
of the senate committee, "but we do
not Intend to let Mr. Gray, or any one
else, bring this committee Into con
tempt. "We will give him attention
Vhen the time comes."
It looks like a lost case may be made
on Gray's refusal. Both committees
were in session today.
Dr. J. D. Gambrell, of Dallas, chair
man of the Anti .Saloon League, was
before the house committee all morn
ing. He did not throw much light on
the investigation, .neither did he know
what was spent in the prohibition cam
paign by his league. He recommended
the disfranchisement of illiterate'
voters. -
W. S. Parker, an attorney of Kountze,
Hardin county, was the only witness
before the senate committee. He tes
tified that he had been told that the
saloon men were writing out and Is
suing poll tax receipts. He occupied
the stand all morning.
Very Slow "Work.
While the special session of the leg
islature has entered upon Its- second
week, thus far only one general bill,
and a couple or so of concurrent reso
lutions have reached the executive de
partment. The bill referred to Is the
one asking an appropriation of $55,000
for the payment of the mileage and
per diem, of the members of the leg
islature. "When this measure was un
der consideration there was a marked
unanimity prevalent in the legislature.
The question of prohibition did not
loom up or any of the other issues
which seem to divide the membership
On whatever measures are considered.
One of the resolutions now arwaiting
action by the governor is the one In
viting president Taft to participate in
the coming celebration of Columbus
day on October 12. There is little
doubt but that this resolution will be
approved.
It Is confidently expected by the
chairmen of the house and senate
general appropriation committees, to
get the appropriation bill through this
week. The senate has already made
considerable headway with Its bill. In
the house chairman Cox expected to
.pass his appropriation bill during the
present week. There is a chance that
the bill will eventually be brought be
before a free conference committee for
final adjudication.
Redisricting the State.
Some progress is expected to be
made on the redisricting bills that
have been introduced during the past
week. In both branches of the legisla
ture, measures on this question have
been introduced. Thus, far, however,
there have been no bills introduced
providing for the redisricting of the
(congressional districts. It has been
disclosed that there is n0 constitution
al requirement that the present sess
sion of the legislature shall redistrict
the congressional districts, and It may
be said with a degree of certainty,
that there Is not likely to be any
change made at this session in the
congressional districts. This will leave
the state "to elect two congressmen at"
large.
The Results Expected.
The present session will do very
well if it succeeds in passing the gen
eral appropriation bill, repealing the
automatic tax law, and changing the
representative and senatorial districts
of- the state. Then It is absolutely
necessary in repealing the automatic
tax law for the legislature to fix the
tax rate from four to approximately 12
cents on the 100 property valuation.
Leptfslature Probing.
"Who Is to pay the expenses for con
ducting the legislative Investigation
Into the alleged election frauds in con
nection with the recent prohibition
election? The senate has passed Its
contingent expense bill which carries
an appropriation of $20,000 for this
election probe, and there is pending in
the house an appropriation In the
house contingent expense bill, of $5000,
but neither of these measures has run
the gauntlet of both branches. Then
the governor will have" something to
say when this contingent expense bill
reaches him, and the chances are 10 to
1 that he will veto the bill for the
reason that he has already asked the
legislature for an appropriation of
$27,500 for the purpose of investigat
ing with his own men. The governor
has offered a reward of $50 for the
arrest and conviction of each individ
ual who perpetrated any frauds in
connection with the election.
Should the committee determine to
make a complete investigation. It will
require months and the expenditure
will run into the thousands.
A test will be made of the author
itv of the committee to summon and
compel the attendance of witnesses.!
The senate committee selected uapt.
"W. J. McDonald as sergeant at arms.
He is a former ranger captain and,
if given any kind of authority, he will
come very near producing witnesses,
it Is generall believed.
bomiTdamages an
electrical plant
Chicago, 111., Aug. 8. A bomb partly
destroyed the plant of the Victor Jen
sen Electrical Supply company, on the
south side, today. "Windows within a
block of the building were shattered
by the force of the explosion.
The firm employs non-union work
men and the police believe that the
representatives of a labor union were
responsible for the explosion. The rear
end of the building was wrecked. The
damage will exceed $200,000.
The police are searching for two men
who were seen loitering in the vi
cinity of the factory before the ex
plosion occurred.
Mining Man Declares That
Secret Societies Are Being
Formed.
INTERVENTION IS
THE BOG-IE NOW
Secret societies that are anti-American
are active in many of the cities of
Mexico, declares P. J. Burke, of Guana
juato, Mexico.
They threaten to kill American
women and children in case of Ameri
can Intervention In Mexico. Mr. Burke,
a mining man who has been employed
at El Carmen mine near Guanajuato, is
in El Paso with his family, having left
Mexico three weeks ago.
"These societies are not confined to
the peon class," he says. "The busi
ness men and 'professional men of
Guanajuatd are members and take an
active interest in the affairs of 'the
secret society. I have talked with
men who have attended these meetings
and while I have never been in the
society's meeting places myself, these
men have told me that they are or
ganized for the sole purpose of mak
ing an anti-American demonstration
tfiould American intervention result
from the troubled conditions in Mexi
co. "One man, who speaks half a dozen
different languages and has traveled
around the world, is close to the lead
ers of the society in Guanajuato, and
he has attended these meetings regu
larly. He has told me a number of
times that should the United States
troops cross the border, this society
would lead a movement to kill the
foreigners, especially the American
women and children. The society Is
not confined to- Guanajuato, but I un
derstand that there are similar organi
zations in San Luis Potosi and other
towns of the republic
"I know of 13 American families that
have left that section during the past
three months because of the Mexican
trouble. They did not go upon the ad
vice of the American consul, although
it has been freely reported there that
secret advices have been received to
have the American women and chil
dren ready to leave should any signs
of trouble be -shown. One of the big
companies of Guanajuato has its em
ployes guarded. There were 150 rifles
shipped into the city and I think this
company got the greater number for
protecting Its works. There is a feel
ing of unrest existing in that part of
Mexico that means trouble for the for
eigners as I see it, unless a strong
man like Gen. Reyes gets in control of
affairs. I have lived in Mexico for
many "-years, but things look worse
there now than at any time since I
first went to Mexico."
The Southwestern Employes
Vote to Tie Up Road I
- Men Are Not Reinstated.
WANT THREE MEN
PUT BACK TO WORK
Firemen employed bn the South
western system have voted to go out
on strike for the reinstatement of the
three former firemen who were dis
charged from the service of the road.
The poll of the road, the method used
by the firemen to get a vote on the
strike question, reslulted in an over-
whelming majority for the strike and
the request for the proposed strike has
been put up to the grand officers of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
glnemen, the union organization of the
firemen.
A grievance committee called upon
the officials of the Southwestern and
presented their cause for complaint ta
general manager H. J. Simmons and
general superintendent G. F. Hawks.
The demands that the discharged men
be reinstated were denied. Another poil
of the road followed and the firemen
voted almost unanimously to strike.
The question of wages has not en
tered Into the dispute, according to
the firemen. They wish to have their
members reinstated on the road and
are willing to strike to bring about
this end. The contemplated strike of
the firemen may involve the brakemen
of the road, it is said by railroad men.
Ihe brakemen and firemen allied at
the time of the brakemen's strike and
agreed to stand together. Now that the
firemen are planning to go out, they
are urging the brakemen to stand with
them.
-Brotherhood politics is also said to
enter Into the strike situation. The
Brothernood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen is the firemen's
organization while the engineers
belong to the Brotherhood of Lo
oomotive Engineers. Each is said
to be hostile to the other, and the fire
men's organization insists that its
brotherhood should be consulted when
promotions are to be made from fire
men to engineers.
No date has been set for the strike,
as It will be necessary to get the sanc
tion of the officials of the brotherhood
higher up before any strike can be
attempted.

It was necessary to administer heart

Last night his physicians stated that
the action of the kidneys continued

some encouragement. At daylight,
however, the patient showed unfavora

relief, the congestion returned toward
