PARDON GRANTED
CAPS', FRANKLIN
EI Paso Officer With a Fine Military
Career In the Philippines, Is Given
Clear Record by President
West Point, N. Y., Aug. 14. Word has
been received here that president Wil
son has granted an unconditional par
don to former Capt Thomas Franklin,
U. S. A., who from 1902 to 1908 was"
treasurer of the Military Academy and
quartermaster and commissary for the
battalion of cadets and was convicted
of a shortage of accounts-.Capt Frank
lin's superior officers very highly com
mended his services during the Phil
ippine insurrection and Boxer rebellion
in China and his case attracted wide
spread attention five years ago. At
the time of the trial there was much
sympathy for the captain In army and
official circles, both because it was be
lieved that he had been guilty only of
negligence and not of intentional
wrongdoing, and on account of his ffne
record. His sentence was commuted
after a few months and his resigna
tion from the army was accepted.
The unconditional pardon restores to
Capt. Franklin all the rights of citizen
ship. His former official associates here
speak very highly of him and express
much elation at the outcome. Many
openly charge that the case against
him was the result of official malice
and Jealousy.
Capt. Franklin is now superintend
ent of the El Paso dairy, eight miles
below El Paso, -which position he has
held for more than two years, and his
active work as an administrator have
done much to modernize and bring the
plant up to a very high standard. Capt.
Franklin is a Texan and was appointed
to the army from San Antonio. He is
a soninlaw of postmaster J, A. Smith.

COUNSEL FOR DIGGS
REVEALS DEFENCE
I Marsha Warrington, Principal Witness,
Is Quizzed Regarding Alleged
Promise of Immunity.
San Francisco, CaL, Aug. 14. Marsha
Warrington concluded her testimony
in the Diggs white slavery case short
ly before noon today and was followed
on the stand by Lola Norris. There will
be no further examination of Miss
Warrington.
The plan of defence Diggs will fol
low In resisting the case brought
against him by the government, under
the Mann white slave traffic act, was
given out today by his counsel in open
court.
Marsha Warrington was on the stand,
under cross-examination by Nathan
Coghlan. He questioned her at length
about the statement she made to as
sistant district atorney Atkinson, com
ing back to Sacramento.
"Is it not true that on March 15, 1S13,
you were charged upon complaint of M.
J. Sullivan, probation officer of Sacra
mento county, with contributing to the
delinquency of a minor child, namely
Evelyn Diggs?"'
Evelyn Digg3 is a daughter of the
defendant.
Attorney Roche, for the government,
immediately objected.
"It la our contention," explained
Coghlan to judge "Van Fleet, "that this
witness made certain statements on the
J train coming back to Sacramento, that j
( cilia TVna TiT"?iofiall v Tomiarf1 (itiTniln). !
ty for this testimony and that she was
threatened -with arrest, detention and
trial, if she did not so testify and I
don't mind saying here now that such
is the showing we shall make to the
jury."
"Don't argue it now. Wait till you
get before the jury," admonished the
court. "I may say. however, that it is
proper for you to ask if immunity was
offered."
Diggs Prompts Cross Quiz.
There was no attempt to shake
Marsha Warrington's narrative on
cross examination. The defence sought
to widen her admissions of immorality
and drew from her the dates and places
of other lapses with the defendant, but
efforts to bring in the names of other
men were disallowed. During the
cross examination Diggs continually
prompted the examination of his at
torneys and constantly kept his eyes
on the girl's face, but she constantly
avoided his gaze. When the essentials
of her previous testimony were called
into doubt she made her answers
stronger in affirmation.
BOEROWERS REPAY;
DEPOSITS DECREASE
Nearly $2,00,000 have been drawn out
of El taso bank deposits in the last
three months by El Pasoans on vaca
tions, by departing Mexican refugees,
by Mexican banks that have resumed
business in hitherto troubled regions,
and by borrowers repaying loans. This
will be shown in the regular bi-monthly
statement or the local banks, which bns
just been called for by the controler of I
tne United btates treasury.'
atui, Daiuang conaitions in El Paso
were never healthier nor sturdier than
at present. While the deposits have
been reduced by nearly $2,000,000 in
three months, the reserves of the banks
will show a very high percentage of
available cash items compared with the
uepusus. xnis renecis tne nealtliy class
of loans in this city, showing that they
can be called when needed and without
trouble. Acompapying the withdrawal
of deposits to meet the summer dulness
that is felt each year and the vacation
drain, borrowers have renaid many of
their loans, so that reserves are far
above the mark required by law in every
case.
As indications for fall business are
good, the deposits are expected to rise
rapidly within the next few weeks, as
business and professional men will soon
be returning from their outings, the
courts will resume their grind, commerce
win resume its regular lail activity, and
everything will resume its regular chan
nel in a short time.

finding car would go over the entire
route to Phoenix shortly after the first

the race, so that drivers who wish to
make entries in the race can run over
the course and familiarize themselves
with it. Mr. Rinehart said the total
cash prize for the race would be about
$7000 or more. He announced the re
ceipt of a request for an entry blank
from Dallas and another from a town
near Waco. President Stevens said he
had a letter from a Willcox, Ariz., man
who wanted to enter a car. Altogether,
Mr. Rinehart is certain that there will
be 25 cars in the race.
The matter of issuing logs of roads
running out of El Paso was placed in
the hands of president Stevens for ac
tion. These will be issued shortly.
Boosting Auto Routes.

LAST CALL FOR THE
PACIFIC BEACHES
Southern Pacific Puts on Loir Rates to
Give Interior People a Chance to
Bathe In Ocean
W. E. Barnes, traveling freight and
passenger agent of the Southern Pa
cific Co. at Tucson, arrived in El Paso
this morning. Mr. Barnes is always
given a warm welcome when he comes
here, as he is doing effective promotion
work for El Paso and the Southwest.
Mr. Barnes expects to remain in the
city for several days, and cooperate
I with the local Southern Pacific office
in advertising the low special excur
sion fares from El Paso to Pacific coast
points, including Los Angeles and San
Francisco effective August 22d to
Z3th inclusive.
Mr. Barnes intends to make &
thorough canvass of the city and this
summerend excursion promises to be
the most popular of the season. In
conversation with a representative of
Tie Herald Mr. Barnes said:
"These very low excursion rates of
fered by the Southern Pacific Co. are
a distinct concession to the general
public with the expectation that they
will be appreciated.
"They enable those of moderate or
limited means at the last possible ex
pense to find coolness and comfort on
the coast, to enjoy the tonic breezes
from the ocean, to participate in tne
whirl and luxury of sea bathing.
"It does not appear to be generally
known that a trip to the coast can be
made at a trifling cost. There are an
abnndance of hotels run on both plans,
with very reasonable rates, fine room
ing and apartment houses with con
veniences equal to hotels charging bot
tom rates: I will be pleased to assist
any one contemplating the trip to find
suitable locations.
"The Southern Pacific is mindful of
the comfort of Its patrons and will take
pleasure In seeing that every accom
modation is given them. The railroad
trip Is not only comfortable, but inter
esting, as the Southwest is no longer a
desert country. Wonderful develop
ment Is to be seen in every mile of the
journey."

something just what the admlnistra

variance with those of the administra

not disposed to permit any attacks upon

Summer-Spoiled Skin
Removed by Absorption
(From Home Queen.)
As undue summer exposure usually
leaves an undesirable surface of tan.
dust or grease, often freckles, too, it
would seem more sensible to remove
such surface than to hide It with cos
metics. There's nothing better for this
than ordinary mercolised wax. whica
actually absorbs an unwholesome com
plexion. The thin layer of surface skin
Is itself absorbed, gently and gradually.
so ther"s no inconvenience and no
detention indoors. Just spread the wax
lightly over the entire face at bedtime
and take it off in the morning with
warm wrter. If you will get one ounce
of mercolized wax at the drug store
and use for a week or so, you may ex
pect marked improvement daily. When
the underlying skin is wholly in view
jour complexion will be a marvel ot
spotless pui ity and beautiful whiteness.
Don't let those summer wrinkles
worry you; worry wil breed more
wrinkles. Better to banish them by
bathin? the face m a solution of
powdered saxolite, 1 or. dissolved in 1-2
pt. witch haael. Used dally for awhile
this will be found wonderfully effec
