Towns Of Mexico are Reeking With
the Disease.

City OF Mexico. March 1O.-The small
Pox epidemic which has been raging in
different parts Of the republic of Mex

JOINTS REOPEN.
Their Doors are Unlocked Again and
They Have Resumed Business

The latest bluff of the police was an
order made by the police commission
ers last Saturday evening closing the
joints
The jointists were somewhat fright
eued, the people Of the city settled back
to see something effective done by the
police but there was really no reason
for the jointists being scared and the
people expected too much. A few OF
the more tinid liquor sellers moved out
and closed up Others closed their
doors for a day and others refused to
recognize the order but kept on selling
liquor.
An officer told a Journal reporter to-
day that eight joints reopened last
night which added to those that did
not close brings the number almost
back 10 where it stood before One
jOintist said today that the joints had

business any longer

DALLAS WHITES HOT.
Three White Women Assaulted by
Negroes Within Two Days

Dallas, Tex, March 1O.-Within the
last 4S hours three white women have
been assaulted in Dallas by negroes.
The real facts about these horrible
crimes were kept from the newspapers
and the public until today and the peace
know; first to keep down popular ex-
element, and second that the officers
may operate more successfully in cap
turing the human fends.
One of them was landed in jail last
evening, having been captured at Mar
shall, Tex He is Solomon DOnogan.
coal black, brutish-appearing negro.
about 20 years old He assaulted Mrs.
4. 3. StingIey in her home at 399 Main
street The woman struggled in des-
peration and just as she was thrown on
the bed managed 10 free her mouth
from the negTo's hand and screamed
The negro had an open knife with which
he struck the WOnan'S person and
thinking he had fatally stabbed her, he
fed
Mrs. Stingley was stabbed three times
in her right hand, the blade going
through the hand in two of the wounds
These were the only injuries she sus-
tanned The officers, To avert the pos
sIbll1ty of mob violence, announced to
the local paper that DOnOgan would
not be brought from Marshall before
morning He was brought in, however
on the 6:15 train last evening and was
safe in jail before his arrival was gem
orally known Under Texas law, Don
ogan's crime calls for the death penal
ty.
An unknown negro assaulted Mrs
Eda Morrissey in her home at Caroline
and Payne streets An open knife be-
ing in reach, she plunged the blade full
length into the negrO's breast, and he
ran from the house and escaped. Off
GERS have been searching for him, but
have no trace of him
This case was given TO the public last
night as an attempt at robbery for the
same reason that Donogan's crime was
kept secret TO keep down excitement
and not interfere with the officers plans
to effect a capture, but II is known now
that the efforts OF the black brute were
OF a more serious and heinOus charac-
ter.
Last evening it was announced at the
SheriffS Office that a white woman.
whose name is not made public because
of the disgrace involved. was assaulted
in East Dallas She is reported as be-
ing confined to her bed The idenity OF
her black assailant is unknown. In the
case of arrest the Woman's name would
necessarily be made public s she would
have to- identify the prisoner in order
to have him prosecuted.
