junction against Receiver John c. Fet-
zfr of the Milwaukee Avenue State
ba.ll. to restrain him from disposing

NED GREEN AND
TEXAS POLITICS
Son Of Hetty Green Nominated
by Texas Republicans for
Governor.
HETTY NOT STINGY WITH son

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 23.-The
news that came up from the Lone
Star state last week that E. H. R.
Green, son of the enormously wealthy
Hetty Green. has been nominated by
the republicans for governor of Texas
has created a little ripple here, where
politics, like everything else, is as
dull as ditch water during these
August dog days. Young Green-he
is still in his thirties-is known only
by reputation here. But he has been
active in politics down In Texas for
quite long time considering his
age and the politicians in that section
have long regarded him a conner"
1t is pointed out by those acquainted
with his career that Ned" Green was
taking part in practical politics long
before this present-day fad arose for
rich young men to seek Office. He has
been in Texas about fifteen years and
always has been interested in the
politics of the state. He served three
terms as chairman of the state conf
mittee and was delegate to the nation
al conventions.
No one thinks for moment that
there is any chance FOR republican
to be elected governor of Texas at the
present time The republican party
itself is badly split in the state. with
two tickets in the field. Green is the
nominee of what is termed the IRE
organized" faction. which is making
war on the element of which Cecil
Lyon is the recognized leader.
But whether or not young Green
has a ghost of show of winning out,
his candidacy is bound to give ginger
to the Texas campaign this fall. If
money is needed to put the political
machinery in good running order
Hetty Green will furnish any amount.
Ned" as she fondly calls him. is the
idol of her heart. No matter how
close she may be in business affairs
or how penurious she may be in re-
gard to her personal expenditures,
'the richest woman in America" Is
liberal to the extreme where her son
is concerned. 1t is believed that Hetty
Green would cheerfully give up mill
ions to make Ned" governor of Texas
If she though he really wanted it and
that money would get it.

Victoria, B. c.. Aug. 23.-A curios
speculation with respect to the recon-

been made that the controlling inter-

1t Is seldom that an important

with such secrecy as that maintained
by the Colonist's new owners. The
numerous Victorians who believe the
report that Chinese have purchased
the paper say that it Is for the pur-

paign for the reduction Of the $500 per

Chinese contractors to bring in an

Worse and Worre.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 23.-The Asso.
ciated Press learns by mail that thu
strictest censorship is now exercised
over press dispatches in the Caucasus
to conceal the true state of affairs,
both regarding the true inwardness
of the Tartar-Armenian warfare and
the fermentation among Russian
troops garrisoned in the towns of
Trans-Caucasia A correspondent of
the Associated Press was not permit
ted to telegraph many items of news
and in other cases the censor would
only accept his dispatches when sup
ported by the official version Of affairs
reported.
The Armenian-Tarta situation is
worse than is known to the outside
world. Almost all Russian military
units are disaffected and even the Co.'S
sacks are rebelling against doing
police duty. The latest mutiny is that
of the Poltava Cossacks, who several
days ago at Tiflis formally demanded
to be relieved from police duty and
asked for discharge of those who had
served over three years. The entire
regiment was disarmed and confined
in the barracks under guard
Another version of the Dashlager
affair, in which a number of officers
were killed, is to the effect that sailors
of the Black fleet implicated in the
Kniaz Potemkine mutiny who were
attached to the disciplinary battalion
at the village of Kusar on the Caspian
sea, near Dashlager, had been in COM
munication with the Samur regiment,
which constituted the garrison of
