POLICE PREPARE.
Authorities Prevent Amy Riots
Taking Place
ON PART OF SOCIALISTS,
Soldiers and Republican Guards Were
Stationed at Points That the Demon
STATIONS Were Anticipated and Many
Arrests Effected

Paris, May 2-Although the entire
garrison of Paris was under arms and
500 mounted republican guards and
vast police reserves on DIT IN order
to prevent the gigantic May G&y mani
festation planned by the Snr ialists,
the city presented its almost normal
condition Wednesday morning. Troops
were massed at Prince Eugene bar
racks, Bank of France, Grand Palais,
Bourse, Rue Drueot and other strategic
points, but they kept out of sight in
order to avoid unduly exciting the pop
ulation.
The authorities, while not interfer
ing with W0rkmen's meetings, resov-
ed 10 break up first attempts at street
demonstrations which might lead to
serious disorders. It was apparent
early in the morning that the mass of
people were not much in sympathy
with agitators. Appeal of NJ Jaures
and other Socialist leaders for com
plete suspension of work. not ONLY in
Paris, but throughout France, was gen
orally UNDECIDED. Stores and restau-
rants were open and omnibusses and
horse car lines and electric roads were
running as usual. Nevertheless an
immense number of idle workmen
were in the streets wearing red en-
blems in buttonholes. Before o'clock
they began concentrating at the Labor
Exchange, near Palace de la Repub-
lique, where the most important meet
ings We're scheduled to take place.
The police, however, kept the crowds
moving, arreSting scores of loiterers.
BY noon 200 arrests had been made,
among these taken into custody be-
ing soldiers in citizens clothes, who
were selling anarchistic papers. On
many persons arrested the police
found knives, brass knuckles and re.
volvers.

Center, Tex, May 2.-Carroll B.
Short, well known attorney of Cen.
ter. Tex, was shot on the Santa Fee
train Tuesday night as the train was
entering this place. The shooting was
done by DR., Buck Paul of San Angelo.
Mr.. Short had been down the road, and

rear seat in the smoking car, and just
before the train stopped DR.. Paul who
was inforward part of the car, arose
and went to the rear end of the coach,
and when opposite Mr.. Short pulled his
pistol and began firing at Mr.. Short.
Six shots were fired, five of which
struck the victim. Three entered the
two passing entirely through; a fourth
struck the left shoulder and another
in the back of the neck.
After the first shot was fired Mr..
Short uttered a single groan and sank
back into the seat, in which position
the body remained until removed by
the sheriff short time afterward,
After emptying his pistol, DR., Paul
threw the empty shells out of his gun,
reloaded it. stuck it in the Waistband
of his pants and passed into the chair
car, then came out of the train with
other passengers and took hack for
town.
This tragedy has been expected ever
since the murder of DR.. Paul by a
negro last fall. This negro, it will
be remembered resisted the officers
and went to the home of Short, where
he received protection, and when DR.
Paul went to arrest him the negro
shot DR.. Paul to death. The negro was
subsequently threatened with lynch
ing, and the Beaumont Light Guards
were sent to Center to protect him
The negro was tried and convicted and
hanged the same day.
