other thing: we believe it will be necessary Tor
the Republicans TO carry New York next year,
and that on account Of the rebuke given Har-
risOn at the recent election in New York by the
defeat OF Eassett, that Blaine is the only man
who can carry that state. This Is more appar-
ent from the fact that the old Conkling feeling
against Blaine has all died out, and
the dead statesman's supporters are now
his friends. We are all for Blaine. but IL Presi-
dent Harrison should be renominated by the
convention, / do not believe there was a man
present at the meeting but would vote for him.

stands before the people In this light: He
will make no unholy scramble for renom-

his administrator has been sucn

dorsement from Republicans and the peo-
pie see fit to renominate him well and good,
otherwise there will be no conflict. The

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Charges Which May Become the Basis OF
One OF the Greatest Trials of
Modern Times

PARIS, July Enquiry into the malad-
ministration of the Panama canal company,
which is proceeding before NJ. Prinet,
counselor la cour d'appel, will probably
be of most protracted and comprehensive
character, if it is really meant to make
it thorough. DeLesseps' clique is not now
the mighty power it was, but it has still &
wide influence in high political quarters.
He will probably get more than he
or his colleagues may desire. French
publicists, who have from the inception of
the canal criticised 1t as q ruiuouS enter
prise, have taken up the cause of DeLes-
seps' dupes once more, and under the lead
of May Beaulieu are trying TO bring out an
exhaustive investigation. The soundest and
most reputable financial organ in France,
the Economist Franchise, has denounced the
Panama affair as the greatest financial
scandal of the Nineteenth century, and de-
mands a trial Of the persons responsible for
the absorption OF 1,300 0,0o0 francs
snatched from the savings of small capital
lists, many Of whom have been ruined, and
numbers of whom are dead through
despair. No inquiry, it is declared. will be
satisfactory unless it goes back of the first
attempt at raising capital in 1879, which
lowed by second attempt in
1881, when subscriptions were got on
the allegation that the contract had
been made with NM. Couvereux ana her-
sui to dig the canal throughout under forfeit
Of 590, COO, 900 francs. This contract, it IS
asserted, never existed, at least
as traile ferme, though on the faith
Of it subscriptions were obtained.
The subsequent amount, with an Anglo
Dutch syndicate, on the existence of which
more capital was raised, is also alleged
TO have no sufficient validity. In
brief, the series OF agreements.
on the faith of which shares Of
capital were issued, are declared to have
been fictitious. Many millions were
squandered in bribin- the press through
ont France 10 seduce, by ''falacious
Statements small capitalists TO III
vest, whilst millions more were appropriated
by leading counsel of the administration.
These straightforward and specific
charges may become the basis of one of the
greatest trials OF modern times.

MineoIa, Tex, is in "a Far Way to Get an
Ice Factory, Cooperage Works and
Other Industries that Will Mark
New Era in Her On
ward Progress.
MINEoLA, TEX. July 2, 1921,


To the Gazette;
Our people are now negotiating with
parties for the erection of an ice factory to
be erected this fall, beginning in September,
and have the arrangements well under way
for cooperage works work to begin on these
works in less than sixty days. And now
we want number one full-hedged wagon
factory. \ better timbered country for the
location of a wagon factory can't be found
west OF the Mississippi river, for we have
the greatest abundance of all kinds of tim
bers used in manufacturing wagons, and
these timbers or the lands can be purchased
at extremely low figures, and we are so
located that our facilities for shipping pur-
poses can not be exceled. Our local trade
amounts to about six carloads of wagons
per year, and there are two other towns in
the county that deal in wagons by the car
load. So the trade of our own county
would be no small item to a factory located
here Our people would donate to any
company locating factory here, all the
necessary grounds for factory purposes and
freight their machinery 10 this point. and
sell them all the timbered lands they would
need within four miles of the city for an
extremely low figure-for much less than
their market value. and they would proba-
bly, aid the enterprise in other WAYS

A NERVY ROBBERY.
Agent Wagner OF the Cotton Belt Re
Iieyed of His Cash.

VI NV 'r't'SN -'~''
Iieved of His Cash.
Yesterday morning at $50 o'clock oc-
Cured one of the boldest robberies known
in the history of the city for some time.
After the Cotton Belt limited had pulled
out from the depot north of the river Agent
Wagner and Cashier Avery We're preparing
to close up. The door leading into the ticket
Office was open, and Wagner had the cash
box of the safe in his hand and told Avery
TO close the ticket windows. AS he did so
he turned away to do something, when a
young, slight fellow, dark compleXioned
and wearing a light nat darted in through
the open door from the waiting room,
graSped the box and contents, and was out
of the building in less time than it takes 10
write it. He started up the river and Avery
started in pursuit. Aver was gaining on
the fugitive when he turned, drew a revol-
yer and fired two shots at Avery. He then
darted down the bank toward the river, and
was lost to sight in the mderbrush. In the
meantime Wagner had telephoued to the
city for policemen When the officers al
rived they found the fellow had made good
his escape beyond the city limits, and they
returned to town, leaving the sheriff 5
posse to take up the trail. The Cotton Belt
switch engine was at once dispatched TO the
convict camp near Saginaw, and soon re-
turned bringing the bloodhounds. These
started on the trail, but after an hour or 50
consumed in run were at fault and had TO
give up. In the meantime all trace Of the bold
robber was lost, and it is thought that he
has succeeded in getting safely away with
the Doodle, amounting TO a sum between $40
and $50.
Wagner says he was for moment COM
pletely paralyzed at the audacity of the
fellow. He says he noticed he was sitting
in the waiting-room after the train had de-
parted, out as this was frequent occur
renee he thought nothing of it.
The location of the Cotton Belt depot is
rather isolated, and the West Fork OF the
Trinity river, with its deep channel, flows
within 500 feet. This ravine, through
which the stream runs, is heavily bordered
with timber, which grows very thickly,
forming thiclet so dense that man is
lost to sight at distance of 100 yards. The
robbery was boldly planned and boldly exc
epted, and it is evident the fellow had
sttoroughly and carefully calculated his
chances

GET OUT! GET OUT
This Was the Stern Command
of a Deputy Marshal
IN JUDGE BLODGETT'S COURT.
Assembled Ladies Applaud Miss Phoebe
Cousins Attorney, for Which They
Were Ordered Out of the
COURTROOM.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 2.-The climax in the
suit of Phoebe Cousins to retain tbs secre-
tary ship of the board of lady managers Of
the World S fair was reached this afternoon
IN Judge Blodgett'S court. The case had
been on hearing all day, and Col. Robert
closing an eloquent appeal on
behalf of his client. He pictured Miss
Cousins honorable career and positions
of distinction she had filed, and referred to
her aged mother. who had devoted her life
in defense OF the Union during the war, and
wound up by saying, in voice pitched to
the highest key, Let justice be done,
though the heavens fall"
This was too much for Miss Cousins lady
friends, half dozen of whom sat spell
bound By the eloQuence of the counsel. In
front of Col Rae sat DR.. Augusta Kin ball,
lady physician Of some repute,
who had been taking copious notes of
the proceedings. Behind the attorney
sat Miss Cousins mother, with Miss BuL-
line, the Secretary's amanuensiS. No
sooner had the speaker finished talking
than all the ladies began to applaud with
their hands. The hand clappiug made q
great noise in the almost empty courtroom.

Blodgett, who grew red in the face and
said: stop it! Stop it! This is no town

quiet women. He walked boldly up to the

door, told them to Get ont. get QUIZ

surprise at the courts action, you can see
that the applause was only the impulse of
the moment;

the court, now thoroughly angered, ..let

The people fled out, looking rather
aoaShed. They were thoroughly frightened,
but not so much as TO prevent little NEE

were not used 10 courtroom etiquette
None of them returned 10 face Judge
Blodgett however.
Previous to this little episode arguments
We're made. Edward Walker, for the
Worlds fair directory and board of control,
argued that Miss Cousins never held an
Office, but was subject to the same rules as
governed other employees, such us type

Col. Rae and eX-Judge Waite made elo-
quent speeches for Miss Cousins, and some
strong authorities were presented i'll sup

Seriously Hurt.

When the Santa F'e passenger train
arrived 1T the union depot last
night at 1915 there was dumped of
OIL the platform man who had
been seriously hurt early yesterday morn
ing. His name is Fred E. Holt. He is .
typo, hailing from Colorado Springs
Hollis story is about as follows:
Early yesterday morning near Temple
the freight train upon which he was
beating his way from Galveston to this city
broke into three sections. and he was
thrown off and badly injured. The train
people carried him to Temple, and he lay
there IN agony, without attention and IN
able to care for himself, until the passenger
that brought him here arrived. Upon its
arrival at Temple he was bundled into d
coach and made the trip To this city with
out either an attendant or attention.
Cpon arriving here he was dumped
of onto the platform some distance from
the depot and no one notified of his condi-
ton. Some time after midnight the night
Waterman at the Union depot in
his rounds discovered him, and
notified the Santa F'e people of the cir
cumstance, but they refused to take
any notice of the case. Cleburne was tele-
graphed, however, and the reply was to
turn him over to the Tarrant county officers
to care for him. In the meantime the
Typographical union was notified that
a member of the craft was in bad
shape at the Union depot, to which place
they sent a representative to take charge of
the injured man until to-day, at least. when
it is probable the Santa Fe people will see
that ne is cared for.
Holt is seriously hurt, and his injuries,
because OF the delay in receiving attention,
may prove fatal.
Later-Dr. Thompson arrived about 30
a. m, and after an examination decided
there were no bones broken. The Typo
graphical union this morning had him taken
TO the Sisters hospital, where he will be
given every attention.
