PSRSUED BY HIS CONSCIENCE.
Man Guilty of Smuggling Has a Very
Miserable Trip.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
II was never mixed up with a smuggling
transaction but once in my life" said
New Orleans business man whose name
may as well be left out. land my expe-
rience was so painful that I swore off
then and there. / had deal in West
Texas on hand at the time and had made
short trip over the Mexican frontier
during which | picked up a handful of
very fine opals. A wicked friend showed
me how easy it was to carry them over
the line without paying tribute to Uncle
Sam, and | was weak enough to yield to
the temptation. When I got on the cars
at Ell Paso, however. to come east to
Dallas, I was haunted by a guilty con-
science and had a horrible premonition
that some secret service officer was on
my track.
Presently my attention became attract
ed by man with a black beard who kept
looking at me furtivey from a seat across
the way. / tried to persuade myself that
1t was all imagination, but a number of
things occurred during that ride that sat
lsfted me | was really being watched. I
went into the smoker. for instance and
before long caught glimpse of the black
bearded chap peering through the end
of the window from the platform. 1t was
the same in the dining car, and to make
long story short | reached Dallas
thoroughly unstrung. That evening l be-
gan to think | had shaken the fellow off
my track, when 7 happened to stroll out
of the hotel. and there he was standing
behind a pillar. Needless to say | didn't
sleep a wink, and when I bumped into
the sleuth next morning and saw that he
had shaved off his beard ] gave myself
up for lost. However. that was the last
of him, and for the balance of my stay
| was unmolested and gradually regained
my eQuanimity.
That the man had been shadowing me
was undeniable, but what his purpose
could have been and why he dropped the
game so abruptly were mysteries which
| was forced to leave unsolved. 1t was
two years before l found out. Then I
ran across the man by accident one day in
st. Louis restaurant and he owned up.
1t seems that he had been a public Off
cial in a small Texas town and got mixed
up in his accounts. He swore to me that
it was only bad bookkeeping, but the
grand jury indicted him for embezzlement
and he skipped until things Gained down.
! happened to coincide with description
he had of a detective, and adj his strange
moves We're actuated by exactly the same
motive that prompted me to run--namely.
to see whether he was being watched. We
were both fooled by our fears. His af-
fairs had since been settled up and we
enjoyed a good laugh and cold bottle
together. But | am reformed smugger

DIED OF STARVATION.
People Susrambed In Ponce-Snpp1ies

Correspondence.
PONCE, Porto Rico, Sept. 1.-The
great storm effected the people who own
land and are the employers Of the great
laboring class, which constitutes 90 per
cent of the population, and this latter
class very differently.
The first class has seen its buildings
wrecked, its machinery ruined and its
npening crops destroyed, but the great
loss of life occurred in the second class.
aud it is there that starvation threatens.
The planters are unable to furnish work
to the poems, and the fruit upon which
they so much depended for food is de-
stroyed. Relief supplies are at best
only temporary, and difficulties of trans
portation have prevented the distri-
button of relief except at the most GEN.
trai points.
Under these conditions there Is only
one thing for the. poems to do. As fast
as they exhaust the supply OF green
fruit saved from the storm and use up
all the edible roots and tubers that grow
i'll the mountains they pack up their be-
longings and come into the city. Here
they overcrowd the houses of the poor,
sleep by hundreds in the city hail and
other public buildings and on doorsteps,
in the parks and wherever they can find
| room.
AS matter of facti people are starry
ing to death almost every day i'll the
| city of Ponce, and while this sad state
of affairs exists there is Il failure to
afford the commercial relief, which Is
the only true and lasting relief. I'm
| less Il permanent government is estab-
1ished, unless the status OF the island IS
determined, unless the policy to be fol-
| lowed i'll the future is soon outlined,
existing conditions will be aggravated
and it will be necessary to feed the
whole population through relief agents.
When the Panther arrived III the
harbor of Ponce the sea was rough and
there was very heavy rain. yet, for
some reason, the work of putting off
the supplies was not postponed and, 1t
is reliably stated, much of the cargo
dropped into the bay instead of reach
ing the lighters. Then, again, what
reached the lighters was tossed upon
tine waves in the rain for Sc hours. The
tarpaulins only protected the supplies

landed was damaged by water. Tons

BRYAN ON THE TRUSTS.
His Remedy For the Problem-Cockrah
Partially Agreed With Him-The
Conference Ended.

SOntGTtHCc
CHICAGO, Sept. 1S-The conference
on the uses and abuses OF trusts ended
Saturday. Noresolutions were adopted.
Colonel W. j. Bryan made speech and
W. Foulke of Indiana did not agree
with him on some points, SO Mr.. Bryan
spoke again. He said in part:
"My plan was this: First, that the
state should have the right to create
whatever private corporations the peo-
pie of the state think best.
sSecond, that the state has, or should
have, the right to impose such limlta'
tions upon an outside corporation as the
people of the state may think necessary
for their .own protection. That pro-
tects the rights of the people OF the
state to say, first, what they shall organ
ize i'll their state as a corporation, and,
second, what they shall permit as cor
poration to come from other states who
do business in their state.
.sThird, that the federal government
has, or should have, the right to impose
such restrictions as congress may think
necessary upon any corporation which
does business outside of the state in
which it is organized. In other words.
I would preserve to the people OF the
state all the rights they now have, and,
at the same time, have congress exercise
a concurrent remedy to supplement- the
state remedy.
"When the federal government IL
censes a corporation to do business out
side of the state in which 1t was organ
lied, it merely permits it do business IN
a state under the conditions imposed by
that State, in addition to the conditions
imposed by the federal government. !
would not take away from the people OF
the state any rights no " existing, but !
would have the federal government and
the state government exercise the pow
ers that may be necessary to annlh1late
the monopoly.
81 have no doubt that any remedy
that is proposed will be assailed. Those
who believe that the trust must remain,
and those who believe that the trust
means good should accept the best
remedy they can find, try it and then
accept better one if a better one Is
proposed, and keep on trying until the
people are protected.
"Let me propose remedy-not a
remedy, but step. think, in the right
direction. Let the laws, state and ma
tional, make it penal Offense for any
corporation to contribute to the cam.
paign fund of any political party"
Bourke Cochran followed, and in the
beginning said he agreed with much
that Mr.. Bryan had said.
