THRESHER is MAD.
Says He Was illegally Arrested and imprisoned
by Mexican Authorities.

Washington, April 4.-Nothing has
been received at the state department or
Mexican legation respecting the reported
arrest and illegal imprisonment of f. T.
Thresher and family Of Cambridge, Mass :,
while recently travelling in Mexico. Min
lister Romero said to reporter for the
United Press, today, that he would in
vestigate the report and communicate the
result Of his inquiries to the public and
also to the state department. If it warranted
him in so doing.
1t is said respecting these reports Of IL
legal detention and arrest and imprson-
ment, usually made by telegram from a
Mexican frontier town, that the state
department has not felt called upon in q
solitary case to ask an explanation or even
an investigation. The cases brought to
the attention Of the department are few
in number compared with those that find
their way to public notice by other means
The Thresher story is as follows:
An FL Paso, Texas, special says: f. P.
Thresher Of Cambridge, Mass, with his
family, arrived here, Wednesday, from
Hot Springs, Mexico, where they have
served term in Jail. Mr.. Thresher Is in
dignnnt at his treatment and proposes 10
make the matter one of international
negotiation.
His story is that he stopped at the
Palace hotel, kept by George King. When
he prepared to leave, King charged him
double the rate agreed upon. The guest
refusing positively to pay it, King secured
a policeman, and Thrcsber. his wife and
three children were hustled off to Jail.
where they remained until Consul Dwight
Furness at Guansjuto interfered
Then the mayor Of the town suddenly
discovered it was a mistake and released
the Americans with the most profuse
apologies. Mr.. Thresher will make an
appeal to the state department

Town Will Not Have to Paw Many o,
His Notes.

Foxcroft, April 4.-The intense and
widespread interest in the Hale suicide
and defalcation is increasing. The select
men were in session a good part of the
morning and afternoon with Town Agent
Parsons and Henry Hudson, who has been
engaged to act as lawyer for the town, and
were engaged in preparing statements for
report at the town meeting, Saturday af-
ternOon.
DR.. William Buck, Henry Prentiss,
John A. Hale and Joseph B. Peaks, attor-
ney for Mrs. f. j. Hale, are engaged in
overhauling the accounts of the late Judge
Hale. Although but partly through with
the accounts, notes in favor of 4. J. Hale
have been found against people here. The
larger part of the notes are for amounts
varying from IS to SIS.
John p. Hale, the judges brother says
that +. j. Hale never owned dollar of
property in Mrs Hale's name all of which
was hers by inheritance from her father,
the late Charles. z. Chandler. Any prop
erty of Judge Hale's is still in his name
and held now. as such.
All money invested with Hale last year,
amounting to about 100000, cannot be
claimed by the investors anyway, as the
town passed law, at the March meeting,
1894, by which no money could be
borrowed, except with the consent of the
selectmen and treasurer and bearing these
signatures. People voting for and know
ing this fact have given money to Hale,
and certainly the town cannot be com
PEELED to pay.
The following is the complete list of
note holders as compiled by the select
men:

owned the pail introduced in evidence;
second, that no sheep of the kind lost were
ever in his pasture; third. that no such
sheep were shipped from North Arson on
the date alleged by the State. He also
introduced evidence tending strongly to
prove that the sheep in question were
marked with one boot mark, instead OF
two as alleged by the State.
After tho testimony was all given, Judge
Strout expressed the opinion that the evil

The Beef Conspiracy.

The country is now witness
ing the effect Of one Of those
combinations to raise the price
of an article of necessity which
are contrary to Federal and State
Statutes and against the policy
of every civilized nation.
The conspirators who are
working the beef market seem to
defy the government in their
determination to extOrt artificial
profits out of the masses. While
the price of cattle has gone up
only about one cent a pound the
price of beef in the markets OF
the great cities has risen eight
or ten cents. The beef conspir-
acy thus controls the market
against the producer and con-
sumner and robs both. Taking
advantage Of a slightly reduced
beef supply the monopolists have
put up the price of beef but have
not permitted the cattle raisers
to share in the advanced price.
They are, on the contrary, al
ways finding means to depress
the price of cattle. The opera
tons of this Infamous gang date
back to 1873 and have provoked
investigation by Congress as
we'll as several State Legislators.
The evidence thus brought out
shows the nefarious methods Oh
the beef couspiratrors and legis-
lation designed to prevent thei1
eXtortions has been enacted.
Recent events indicate, how
ever, that the law is either de-
fective or that it is not honestly
enforced.
Something must be done to
prevent this swindling of the
people by avaricious and unprin.
lcipled monopolists .-Atlanta Jour-
NAL
