DEVIOUS WAYS OF THE
JAPS ON THE BORDER.

From Ell Paso Herald.
San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 13.-The
tricks adopted by the Chinese in at
tempting to sneak into the United
States are nothing compared with
those adopted by the Japs now hover
ing on the Mexican border. Every old
scheme and many new ones are be-
ing tried daily. Often as many as from
10 to 40 captures are made in south
west Texas in one week of Japs who
have slipped into Texas without con
sulting the immigration authorities.
The Japs il Mexico seem determined
to get into Texas by. some means.
thing to lose. If they are captured they
are sent back to Japan free of cost,
and if they escape the vigilance of the
authorities they can pursue their avo-
cations in peace.
One thing that helps the Japs to
beat the immigration authorities is
public sentiment. Many Americans in
this section nave liking for the Japs
and do not take it On themselves to
report their Whereabouts. In fact, in
r1any instances people without inter
est in the matter at all have helped
them to escape.
With Chinese it is different Ameri-
cans appear to hate them by Instinct,
and will always report their where
abouts to officers The immigration
authorities are now trying to educate
public sentiment up to the same point
so far as the Japs are concerned.

The strike of the telegraph operat-

lines has developed until today it has
become a strike of practically all the
operators of commercial and press
lines in the United States and Cana

the Associated Press to the strikers

cuts off the news of the country from
all the big papers, with the exception
of the papers taking the Hearst SER

the demands of their operators, who,
however, are few in number. The op-

absolutely no communication north

on the Postal and Western Union.
The strike also extends to all COM

George Armijo Tells of Trial.

in Texas.
George Armijo Tells of Trial.
Probate Clerk George w. Armijo
who during the past week visited Es-
tancia, the county seat of Torrance
county, for the purpose of attending
the trial of Domingo Wales, upon an
Indictment charging him with the muir
der of the late Colonel J. Francisco
Chaves, at Pinos Wells, November 6,
1904, returned to the city yesterday.
Mr. Armijo was greatly interested in
the trial as he is a grandson of the
murdered man, VINO was of New Mex
leo.
The jury consisted of eleven citizens
of Spanish-Americal descent and one
American citizen, new conner. 1t was
a very fair one, representing the peo-
pie of the county very well. District
Attorney Frank w. Clancy conducted
the case on the part of the Territory
while o. A. Larrazolo was the defand-
ants attorney and evidently did his
days or the entire week and was pre-
sided over by Judge Edward A. Mann,
with the utmost fairness and f1rmness.
Territory's Evidence Not Strong.
About twelve witnesses for the pro-
secution were examined and as many
for the defense. The evidence on
the part of the prosecution was not
strong enough to connect Wales direct
~ with the crime. The jury was out
twelve hours Saturday last, retiring
verdict at 11:30 p. m.
1t is understood that on the first bal
lot the jury stood ten for acquittaI to
two for conviction and that finally the
two Jurors in favor of conviction were
won over to the other side and the yer
dict was agreed.
SediIIo to Be Tried Next Term.
Jacobo Sedillo, who is also under in
Chaves, is held in custody and will be
taken to Otero county and lodged in
Jail for safe keeping and until the next
term of the Torrance County district
court It is understood tnat o. A. Lar
razolo of Las Vegas, is also to defend
him.
As it was very late at might there
were few people in the court room
when the jury returned with the YER
dict. Judge Mann mad instructed the
sheriff to suppress any and all dem
onstratioas either for or against the
verdict of the jury and everything
passed of very quietly. When the YER
dict was announced, Wales, with his
usual stolidity, rose from his seat and
with slow and deliberate steps walked
out into the night.

Charge Complicity in Murder.

Wash Amps, proprietor of a negro hotel at Helena, has been arrested on the charge of complicity in the murder of J. M. Scott, late city editor of the Helena Daily World. it is stated that on the night of the murder two negroes, a man and a woman, had room in Amps hotel, the window or which opened immediately over the spot where Scott was supposed to have been murdered by someone sta toned in this window. The Amps woman stated that about 10 o'clock on the night of the murder she was or dered by Amps to move the two negroes in this room, stating that it was wanted by some white men; that she obeyed the order of her husband, and that she heard one of the men say: Here is a dollar for the room. We won't need it long," As to the identity of these two white men noth- ing is known, and the officers will not ta1ly

Boil WeeviI Must Be Fought.

J. J. Moore, of Texarkana, agent for the agricultural department at Wash ington, states that the extermination of the boil weevil is out of the ques- tion, that the pest had arrived in Ar kansas and had come to stay, but that it is possible, under proper manage ment to raise cotton in spite of the weevil. The methods for combating the weevil suggested by the depart ment is early planting, and the de- struction of the cotton stalks as soon as the cotton is gathered, as the greatest progress in spreading IS made in the fall, after the frost has killed the foliage on the cotton, and the weevils begin hunting other green plants upon which to subsist. The turning under of all vegetation is also suggested after the crops are gath cred, as this not only has a tendency to destroy the weevil, but builds up the soil as well. Another great hindrance to the progress of the weevil is rotation of crops.

Increase Efficiency of Schools.

Circular letters have been sent out by Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion Doyne to the county examiners asking them for closer cooperation with the state office in educational affairs. Superintendent Doyne par ticularly desires the assistance of the school directors in the furtherance of school work. The letter follows: "The year closing June 30, 1907, marked progress in the work and worth of the public schools of our state, and l feel that the interest you have taken in the educational affairs of your county has been, in large measure, instrumental in bringing about this improvement. There Is much, however, that may yet be done, and it is the desire of this department to aid you in doing yet greater things for the benefit of the children of our commonwealth. The school directors have not yet been fully enlisted, and, in many instances, are not alive to the importance of the trust committed to them. In a few counties enorts have been made to organize the dl- rectors and have them meet at stated times for the discussion of matters pertaining to their office. Why not do this in your county, if it has not been done? I would like to send out a circular letter to the school direct ors of the state, calling their attention to this and other important matters, provided 1 can have your cooperation. Should the circular be prepared, will you endeavor to place one in the hands of each director in your county, preparatory to effecting an organ1za' tion later on? I will be glad to hear from you, with suggestions at your earliest conyenience'

Hiqher Price for Cotton.

While in Arkansas recently, Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, said: "On account of the drouth, boil weevil and the scarcity of labor the cotton acreage is possibly not as large as it was last year. The total value of the 1906 crop was approximately $So0,00O,OO0. This year it should be a billion and will If the national Executive Commit tee fixes a higher price at it's meet ing at Jackson, Miss, next month. There is no question but that there will be a material advance, and l think that it will not be less than 12 1-2 cents a pound, and it may be 15 cents.'

Oppose Social Equality.

A report from Marvell, Phillips county, states that a timber buyer named c. H. Weis was given a severe whipping and forced to leave the town between suns. It is said that Weis boasted that he was no better than a negro, and went so far as to attend negro church and kneel at the mourner's bench during a religious meeting. It is alleged that the white people of Marvell repeatedly warned Weis that his conduct was not pleas ing to them, but he persisted in his practice of social equality, becoming so bold in his actions that the citi- zens took drastic measures in order to show him the error of his ways.

Women Establish Library,

By making and selling cakes and pies, sewing, selling cigars, and even by carrying notes from young men to the popular young ladies of their town, the philosophical women of Dumas, all members of the Dumas Library Club, have raised more than $1,000 for the establishment of pub lie library in this enterprising little town. These women have even gone so far as to plant, blow and pick cotton on an acre of ground which one of the interested citizens donated to the club. They hope to make bale of cotton on this acre of ground, and as 1t will most likely be ginned without cost to them, they will realize a sub- stantial sum to add to their fast-grow- ing fund.
