Texas as Part of Louisiana.

Representative Wooten, of Texas, is
right in locating his state IN the origi-
ma! louisi ana region. He he's just lo-
troduced a resolution in bis branch of
the Texas legislature citing the fact
tina; worlds fair is to be held in ST.
Louis in 1908, TO commemorate the CEN
tennial of the purchase of Louisiana
from France. IN which he declares that
t'msny historians and statesmen assert
that the region lying between the Red
River and the Rio Grande was actually
and RICH, fully Included in the Louisi-
ana purchase
The purpose of Mr.. Wooten. which
is to secure practical encouragement
from Texas for the Worlds Fair, Is
admirable. His Interpretation of the
judgment OF b storiens and Statesmen
regarding the locality between the Red
River and the Rio Grande is correct.
Texas was part of the province called
Louisiana at the time that locality WAS
obtained by the United States. France
claimed 1t as part of Louisiana from La
Salle's days. When France ceded the
part OF Louisiana west Of the Mississippi
pi Including New Orleans on the EAST
of the river)to Spain in 1852 she coded
Texas with IL. Spain, in the retroces-
sion of Louisiana to France in 1900,
gave Texas back to France. In selling
Louisiana TO the United States in 1909
France sold Texas. This was under
stood ON all hands at the time, though
Spain afterward pretended that Texas
was outside of Louisiana, and in 1919,
as part of the price which we paid
Spain for Florida, we surrerdered our
cain to Texas.
There is an especial propriety in the
interest which Texas is beginning to
take in the celebration of the Loui-
siana centennial in St. Louis. Texas
part of Louisiana until the United
States gave up its claim to it in 1919
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-05-23

For sixteen years after Louisiana was
purchased by Jefferson Texas was part
of the United States, although the
country gave it to Spain afterward as
part payment for Florida, " hich was
deemed of more immediate Importance
to the United States st that particu ar
time than was Texas, which was far
out in the wilderness and but thiniy
settled. Texas will figure In Gil The
features of the exposition which pr
tain TO the Louisiana region strictly.
1t was highly valuable part of the
acquisition of 1903. Texas shows it's
good sense and it's public spirit in the
practical interest it is taking in the
great celebration which will be under
way in ST. Louis at this time in 1908

BUYERS DISAPPEAR.
Two Men From Mexico Make Ex'
tenslVe purChaSes-They Ex-
hIbit Checks and Bills.

Several of the leading wholesale
houses of this city, says the Baltimore
Herald, are wondering what has be-
come of two Mexicans who recently
bought bills Of goods aggregate near
ly $50, 900.
The men were ill dressed and Of a
disreputable appearance, but they said
they represented half a dozen stores in
New Mexico and Texas, and. as they
promised to pay cash for their pur-
chases, their orders were taken with
out demur.
AS an evidence of their credit, tn ey
showed a check for CSC, 900, invoices
from Cincinnati whisky company for
SlS 200, and from a Chicago soap house
for 81, 600. These representations i'm
pressed the firms so much that both the
men obtsiued q suit of clothes, some
shoes and hats and small amount OF
money from the various houses. They
have not been seen since Monday.
The men, who said they were faith er
and SOD, first appeared at the office of
Manuel Torres y Sagasta, the Mexican
consul, 80 South Gay street. The faith
er introduced himself as Juan Romero.
He wanted to draw a draft OF the Bank
of Commerce of Albuquerque, N. M.
on which the check was drawn. Mr..
Torres gave him permission to have
UbC thOoCS SCuU III Col . VI VIC AS4CAiSoh
consulate.
DIR. Mitnick was in Mr.. Sagasta's Of
fee the next time the two called, AM
he volunteered to act as guide. He
showed them wholesale iewelry, hat
ters. notions, shoe and clothing houses.
The Romeros bought with rapidly and
ease. Nothing seemed too good for
them, and, as there was apparently no
risk, the merchants took the orders
with the mental reservation not to fill
them until they were paid in cash.
The net results were as follows: D.
Oppenheimer & Bros, jewelers., 12l
West Baltimore street. purchase of
sc, 900: Friede s. Sons, 223 West Bslti-
more street, notions 500; S. Halle s.
Sons, Al Hopkins place, shoes, $4,000:
Adlesdorf. Bobbitt & Co., 129 West
Baltimore street. hats, $4,000, and a
large clothing house, S27, 900.
The men stopped at 31S President
street while in the city. Mr. Torres
had not been able to locate them yes
terday. 1t is believed the men wished
to secure bills from the various houses
so that in other cities they could pre-
tend they had unlimited credit. The
amount received in presents was so
small that 1t was not thought they
were trying to work the merchants
In the meantime the latter are await
developments with interest.

TAXATION OF INHERITANCEs.
Argument Begun in the Supreme
Court.

Argument was begun today In the United
States Supreme Court in the cases involv-
ing the constitutionality of provision in the
war revenue act for the taxation of in
heritances. There are five of the cases, as
internal revenue at Chicago; KnowIton's
executors against Moore, collector at
Brooklyn; the Fidelity Insurance, Trust and
Safe Deposit Company against McClain,
collector at Philadelphia; Murdoch. execu-
tor, against Ward, collector at New York
city; Sherman against the United States,
from Albany. New York.
By agreement the hearing is to consume
eight hours, of which time the government
is to take only two hours.
The first hearing was given to Mr.. A. NJ
Pence. representing the High estate, and
he was followed by Mr.. Wheeler H. Peck
ham of the Knowlton case. Other attor-
neys to be heard in the case are Richard
c. Dale, Charles H. Otis, Charles E. Pat
represent the appellants. Solicitor General
Richards will appear for the government,
speaking before Mr.. Carlisle, who will
close the hearing.
EX-Speaker Reed is counsel in two Of the
caJes, and it was expected that he would
b. heard, but he contented himself with
fling brief In opposition to the law.
The appellants attack the law on the
ground that 1t provides for a direct tax
which is not apportioned among the states
according to population, as required by the
Constitution: that even IL not direct tax
it is unconstitutional because 1t Is not uni
form in its operation, exempting as it does
legacies under $4,000: that If inheritances
are taxable at all the power to impose such
a tax rests with the states exclusively.

naces Under Water.

NEW YORK. December Sat -quaran-
tino today the Red Star line steamer Fries

steamer Lassell, one of the Santos coffee
steamers. held in quarantine.
The Friesand carried away her bowsprit
and may have suffered other damage. The
Lassell had good-sized hole made in her
port side. through which the water poured,
and she was in danger of sinking. Two
tugs went alongside of her and, after rails
ing her anchor. the Lassell was beached
about quarter of a mile above the quar-
antne station.
There was five feet of water In the hold
of the Lassell before she could be beached.
The work of the tugs was hindered by the
fact that the deputy health officer in
charge of the Lassell would allow no one TO
go on board that vessel, which was being
held In quarantine as precaution against
possible infection by the bubonic plague
When the steamer was finally beached near
Clifton. Staten Island. the water was over
her furnace doors, and she continued TO set
tie for some time.

ADMIRAL TAKES A PEW.
Denial of story That He Rented One
in Catholic Church.

Admiral Dewey has rented a pew in st.
Johns Episcopal Church, of which Rev.
Mackay-Smith is pastor. He has also
been chosen trustee of the Episcopal
Temple on the Tenleytown road.
Father Mackin, the pastor Of st. Paul s
Catholic Church. 18th and V streets north
west, voluntarily denied today emphatically
the story printed in a New York paper in
which Admiral Dewey is reported to have
rented pew in his church.
Admiral DEWEY has rented no pew in
my church." said Father Mackin. He is
vestryman in the Episcopal Church. Mrs.
Dewey owned pew in the church prior to
her recent marriage, and when We made
up our annual statements we naturally sub
sttuted the name of Dewey for Hazen.
and also removed the name of HaZen from
the pew, substituting that by which she
is now known. Out of this, probably, came
the story that the admiral owns the pew.
