"Uncle jim" Wilkinson's office as a
temporary commissary building, and
from the quality of the flour, ETC.,

With Knives and Many 9th
ers CIubbed with Guns
on Katy Excursion.
KNIVES AND GUNS
Used by Crowd Of Drunken Hood
lums Who Captured Trein
Soon After II Left Joplin.
Officials Impotent,
as Usual,

With knives and guns q crowd
of drunken hoodlums captered the
Katy excursion tram shortly after
it left Joplin yesterday afternoon,
and that murder was not commit
tedis not the fault Of those who
engaged in the riot which followed.
1t was a repetition, eaky OF q
more serious character, OF the
scenes which have marked every
Sunday excursion from the Terri
tory.
AS usual, vinits supPiied her
quota OF hoodlums, who are re-
ported as having taken an active
part in the disgracetul row.
The ;ailroad officials and officers
OF thu law were apparently impo-
tent, Aud though some arcests were
made the gang of thugs controlled
the train.
The first disorder occurred at
Joplin, where crowd estimated
at 1900 people were jammed and
crowded around the station. Fight
ing started among crowd Of
drunks and soon became general.
The Joplin officers made a mum.
ber Of arrests, including several OF
the vinita gang, among whom was
the negro Ross who has 6gcred in
disorders heretofore. Someone
who was evidently searching for
Z the jugular vein of Ross Blevins
missed that important organ, but
managed to cash his neck in Sc.
rious ranner.
On the train the fighting co0tin-
ued, and five men were reported
seriously injured by stab wounds.
One. who was hacked about the
head, lett the train here for medi.
cal attention and was sewed up By
DR.. Louie Bagby.
The most seriously injured man
was taken south by friends, his
wounds being Of such character
that fatal termination is not inn
probable.
Deputy Ike Gilstrap, who was
one of the guards, arrested one OF
the rioters, who is still too drunk
to give his name or place OF resi-
dence.
The entire affair, as described by
eye witnesses, was series OF wild
druken hixups between the regu-
lar gangs of hoodlums who patron
ize the Sunday excursions, and
whom the railroad people seemed
utterly unable to control.

PRESENT DIVORCE LAW
CAUSES MUCH CRITICISM
It's Limitations Prove Unsatisfactory
and May Result in
Change.

None Of the changes made in the laws
for the Government Of the District by
the code which went into effect January
l have caused so much criticism as those
in the divorce law. Under the code di-
vorCe. absolute. can be secured in thia
jurisdiction only on Biblical grounds.
Before the code went into operation
legal separations could be obtained be-
cause OF desertion. drunkenness. cruelty.
non-support. and other causes
The limiting OF the ground for di-
vorce 10 a single cause has, IL is said.
so far proved unsatisfactory. and an ef-
fort viii be made az the present session
OF Congress to have the law repealed,
and the text OF the old one substituted
There are several sections OF the code
which need revision, and when the mat
ter IS taken up for consideration, it is
believed that the divorce law will be
the first subject discussed.
An effort was made at the last session
Of Congress TO bring about a change
bat no definite action was taken. and
lie code was adopted as a whole.

OPENING OF MARKET
EUROPEAN MACHINERY
IN DEMAND IN CUBA
Lower Prices and Also
Shipping Rates Obtain

The State Department issued a state
mcnt yesterday ia regard to American
and European trade in machinery with
Cuba.
Dealers in Cuba in machinery have a
decided advantage in placing their or
dcrs in Europe instead OF in ;he United
States" the statement says. because
IN the actual condition and state Of af-
fairs they get u) lower prices, varying
from 10 to so per cent. according TO
class OF machinery and materials. ~
lower shipping rates. 90 quicker de-
livery; and D4l terms Of payment more
advantageous. as European manufac-
turers are willing to sell their goods on
time while American manufacturers
want cash.
1T is said that even in case large
reduction of duty. preferential TO the
United States. should be conceded by
Cuba OF the articles referred to, the
lower prices ond freight rates. quicker
delivery, and easier terms OF payment
would fully compensate for the higher
customs duties that Cuban dealers would
have To pay on the European machinery
and materials"
