Complete Martial Law Has
Been Declared at Odessa to
Prevent Slaughter.
BLACK HUNDREDS ACTIVE
JEWS HAVE BEEN WARNED TO
KEEP CLOSE TO HOMES AND
BUSINESS PLACES AND STAY
IN AT NIGHT.
Publishers Press1

Odessa, July lit is asserted IN
official circles here that the reason for
the sudden declaration of complete
martial law in this section, instead of
partial, as had been expected, was due
to the discovery of a widespread plot
to massacre the Jews.
According to the report, the leaders
of the BLACK Hundreds who have re-
Gently been unusually active, had
planned a general killing of Jews in
fourteen, separate centgs and so well
were the plans laid that fearful
slaughter must have resulted had the
authorities not received information
of the plot.
Martial law was declared and the
governor intends to do everything pos
sible to prevent any disturbances.
Conditions are still very serious and
the Jews have been warned to keep
close to their own homes and places
of business and to stay within doors
Iter nightfall.

A WARM FIGHT
NOW PROMISED
Rural Telephone Situation
Causes the Patrons Much
Uneasiness.
THE INDEPENDENTS FIRM
DON'T INTEND TO SERVE EATON
AND CAMDEN COMPANIES UN-
LESS BELL COMPANY is sHAk-
EN- OFF.
THE INDEPENDENTS FIRM

There is considerable uneasiness
felt among patrons of theindependent
telephone lines in Eaton and Cam
den over the tangle that has resulted
as a result Of the effort of the Bell
Telephone interests to invade that
territory. The stand taken by the
Independents to cut off the Eaton and
Camden exchanges if the Bell system
Is tapped" means that there will be
a hard fight and the fact that the Ea-
ton and Camden companies have filed
suit to enjoin the big Independent
lines from cutting off service, indi-
Gates that those two companies real
ize that without their present service
their patrons will be crippled for
good service.
The Independent Companies give as
their reason, for the action taken,
that if the Bell Company holds posses
sion of the Camden and Eaton lines,
telephone affairs will be resolved in
to monopoly, just as they were sup
posed to be before the Independent
same prices would prevail as pre-
vailed previously.
The Camden exchange carries $50
telephones and Eaton has about 400.
The Bell Telephone Company, it is as
serted, has one hundred telephones in
that neighborhood, which, together
with the recently acquired phones,
makes a total of $50 for the latter
company.
The following companies have
agreed to discontinue ther service
with Camden and Eaton; Preble Coun-
ty Telephone Co, College Corner Tel
ephone Co., Lewiston Home Tele-
phon Co., Richmond Independent Tel
ephone Co, Dayton, Ohio, Home Tel
ephone Co., Montgomery Telephone
Co, United State Telephone Co, and
Hamilton Home Telephone Co.

Fugitive Husband.
MAY BE IN NEW MEXICO

THAT WHEN LOCKE MADE ES.
CAPE FROM JAIL HE WENT TO.
THER-IN-LAW'S.

Mrs. John Locke has left her faith.
er's home on the West Side and it is
reported that she has gone to Hagers-
town. 1t is the general belief that
she has left the city with the inten-
tion of joining her husband, who SO
cleverly decamped from the county
Mrs Locke left to join her spouce and
although watched very carefully by
detectives she very cleverly eluded
them and with her trunk made way to
Big Four station in the northern
party Of the county and thence to Cal
ifornia, where heE husband was hold
ing down 500 job.
AT the time of the sensational es-
cape of Locke from the Jail, by means
OF barefooted ascent through a mar
row chimney to the roof and thence to
the ground, it was not known Just
what direction he took after leaving
the Jail. 1t was learned from an au-
thentic source yesterday afternoon
that Immediately after quitting the Jail
Locke made a bee line for his father
in-law's home on the West Side There
he took BATH made a change of
clothing and then proceeded on the
way to his present unknown where
abouts.
1t is said that Locke stopped long
enough at his father-in-law's home to
get his shirt washed. People familiar
with Locke's relatives say they have
reason to believe that Locke is now
in New Mexico.

AFTER MISSOURI ICEMEN
A Trust is Said to Control the Output
of Ice in Kansas City-Charge
Enormous Prices.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 10.-Evi-
dence of the existence of an ice trust
said to control the local output is

tigation resulted from a movement to

longing to the supposed combine

CONGRESS HAVE BEEN MADE
PUBLIC FOR FIRST TIME.

AS told in dispatches in the Palla-
dunn at the time, Congressman Wat
son some weeks prior to the adjourn
ment of Congress sent out many let
ters to manufacturers in Indiana, ask
ing them to throw some light on the
controverted question as to whether
American goods are sold cheaper in
foreign markets than in those at
home.
He desired this information partic-
ularly because the cruX of the demo-
cratic tariff argument in that Ameri-
can consumers are being discrimi-
mated against in favor of foreign con-
sumers. When he sent out the letters
of inquiry Mr. Watson fully intended
to make a speech on the tariff before
the session closed, but one thing and
another interviewed to prevent and he
did not speak.
The Questions.
Generally the replies received by
Mr.. Watson deny the allegation that
cheaper abroad than at home. Mr..
Watson in his letter aNIed these
questions:
What per cent of your product
do you sell abroad?
2-What per cent of your product
sold abroad do you sell cheaper than
at home.
3-If you sell abroad cheaper than
at home, why do you do so?
The replies Mr.. Watson received
have just been made public and
among them is one from the Hoosier
Drill Company of Richmond which is
as follows:
One of the letters of Mr.. Watson
was sent to the Hoosier Drill COM
frim it the following reply:
Dear Sir-I have Just returned
from a trip to the D1kotas and find
your letter of inquiry awaiting me
and in reply will say:
"1-Our foreign sales are IA per
cent of our entire output.
"2-We get better prices abroad
than at. home.
Twill say that he have uniform
price to the foreign countries. OF
course you understand that If deal
er in a foreign country orders one
machine we charge him more for this
machine than we do where we have
contract with him for years bust
ness. Our contracts with foreign
agencies are all on uniform price
basis. | am, yours very truly, So

ping from one ear to another when
changing lines without being com

equally so to the electric lines. TIL.
adoption of the tickle is considered
