SUGAR MILL
SITE SELECTED
Will Be Located In Heart Of the
Plantation.
R.iIroad Spur viii Be Built from Nopalita
to the Mil Site Before Work on the
Plant is Begun-WiII Require
About Three Months.

The site for the sugar mill on
the Blalack farm, now the Ohio
and Texas Sugar Compauy's plant
alton, has been selected and plans
definitely settled for the erection
of the mill, so THE HERALD learn
ed today in conversation with F.
A. Lindenberg, president of the
new company. The site is in the
heart of the plantation, about three
and a half miles from town and
two miles from the St. L., B. &
NJ. railroad.
Before the actual work of con-
struction can begin, it will be ne
cessary to build a spur from the
railroad to the site for the purpose
of delivering the building material.
This will be done as quickly as
possible, the railroad company
having agreed to do its part. An
engineer will arrive in day or
two for the purpose of locating
the track. This track will be
about two miles long, diverging
from the main track at Nopalita,
which is about four miles from
town. 1t is expected that the
track will be completed within
about three months. As soon as
finished, the building material will
be shipped in and work pushed on
the mill.
Brick to the number of a million
and a half will be needed for the
building, half of which are already
on hand, Nj. Blalack having had
that amount of brick in readiness
for the mill before the company
was formed. The remainder of the
brick and also the concrete, steel,
gravel, etc., will all be contracted
for and delivered, as soon as the
railroad company finishes the spur.
The work of building this plant
will be in the hands of A. F. Del
bert of New Orleans, who has built
some of the largest sugar mills in
this country and also in Cuba.
Mr.. Delbert is in Brownsville at
present and has passed favorably
upon the site which has been Sc
lected. The plans for the mill are
in his hands and will be perfected
by him and carried out under his
supervision.
1t is expected that ground will
be broken for the foundations by
the time the material is delivered,
and the plant ready for the ma
chinery to be installed by next fall:

The Protest of Brownsville.

The plain political and partisan
motives actuating the senatorial in
vestigation of the Brownsville out
rage has seemed to the Constitu-
ton to render superhuous any fur
Their comment on that affair.
There is justice, however, in the
protest recently framed by the citi-
zens of the little Texas town so I'M
fortunately imbroiled in this un-
savory mess.
At a recent mass meeting they
passed resolutions expressing in
dignation against the attempt both
before the senatorial committee and
the Penrose court-martial, to clear
the negro soldiers of the crime com
mitted against the town of Browns
vile on August 10, last, by fasten-
ing the infamy on the townspeople
themselves"
The leading residents of the town
invite the conductors of both in
vestigations to pay personal visit
to Brownsville, where they will be
given ocular and convincing evil
dence to the effect that the shoot
ing-up" could not have been per-
petrated by other than the negro
soldiers.
Senator Foraker's course and his
animus throughout the inquiry
have not been of a nature calculat-
ed to enhance his reputation for
craftsmanship or fair dealing. 1t
has been evident, from the very
first, that the investigation was be-
gun not with the idea of arriving
at the facts in the case. but of ac-
quitting the miscreants plainly
guilty of the offense and bringing
confusion upon President Roose-
welt.
With this bias as its starting
point, therefore, it is not surpris-
ing that both the trial and the
court-martial have developed the
trend of which the people Of
Brownsville complain Question:
are being cunningly framed, and
statements skillfully juggled, all tc
that end.
In the meantime, the reports o
the inquiries are being given wide
spread circulation. IF the respect

Brownsville are not being pilIorieC

EVERYTHING IN
READINESSF FOR
Big FELLOWS
SQUIRES DOES NOT EXPECT
FIGHT TO GO OVER TEN
ROUNDS.
BOTH IN PERFECT CONDITION
Betting i'm Favor of the Australian
At Odds of 10
to =.

SAN FRANCISCO, July EVERY
thing is in readiness for the 45-round
glove contest for the heavyweight
championship between Bill Squires
of Australia and Tommy Burns of
America. which will take place to-
morrow evening at Colma. The open
air arena. seating nearly 10000 per-
sons has been completed and Man
ager COffroth declares that there will
be few, If any, vacant seats.
The men are both pronounced by
their trainers to be in perfect condi-
ton, and each asserts himself con
fident of winning the international
battle for supremacy.
The fight means much to Squires.
for it will be his first appearance in
the ring outside of his native land
and upon his success or failure de
pends his fistic achievements. He
does not expect the fight to go over
ten rounds, and that if defeated, he
will have no excuses to offer. He
has been here long enough to get
acclimated, though the warm wealth
er now prevailing suits him better
than would a chilly day. He proposes
not to waste second of time after
entering the ring and will make
things lively for his opponent from
the very start,
Burns has been much benefited
by the course of training in the open
air he has just completed, and Is
prepared to make the best possible
showing against his sturdy antagon-
list, who, he admits is somewhat of
a doubtful problem to solve. Be
lieving that his science surpasses
that of Squires, it is thought that he
will not attempt rushing tactics. but
will try to wear down his opponent
until a chance is opened for knock
out blow. The betting is in favor of
Squires, the usual odds offered being
Z to TO- Very little Burns money
has been put up so far.

Doubtless the reason why artifi-
cial flies were originally invented
was because it was impossible to use
the smaller and more delicate natu-
raj flies as bats on the hook. The
first fly fisher cast his eyes about him
in search of something that would
answer in initiating the flies upon
which the trout were feeding. Feath-
ers were naturally the first materials
thought of, and the old red cock s
hackle was the first of all the arti-
fetal insects. the old, old Adam Of
them all. The breed has been in
creasing for several hundred years
and numbers 1000 or more at the
present day. OF salmon flies alone
there are several hundred patters.
These belong to the lure order most
ly, as do many of the large flies used
for bass and trout. The little old red
hackle remains good fly to this day
and is put upon bodies of many col
ors, peacock harl being perhaps as
well liked as anything; red wool is
favored by many.-Forest and

DEFENSE MAY
REST BY NEXT
SATURDAY
YESTERDAY GIVEN OVER TO A
CONTINUATION OF EVIDENCE
IN REBUTTAL.
PINKERTONS ADVISED VIOLENCE
State will Move to Strike Out Evi-
dence Unless Defense Keeps
Promise.

BOISE, Idaho, July 3.--At the ad
journment of the Steunenberg triaI
today the prosecution served notice
of its intention to submit series OF
motions to strike out evidence of the
defense, unless the connecting up
testimony that has been promised is
forthcoming. Clarence barrow for
the defense has previously announc-
ed that his side might be able to rest
by Saturday evening, although 1t
might be necessary to let the calling
of Haywood and Meyer go over until
Monday and following an informal
conference with counsel Judge Wood
directed the prosecution to he ready
on Monday with its case in rebuttal
James H. Hawley, senior counsel
for the state, said in reply that it was
intended by himself and his assist
ants to present series of motions
dealing with the evidence presented
by the defense
Darow and Richardson were on
their feet instantly to say together
that the defense also would have
some motions to make, SO that at the
end of this week or the early part of
next the taking of testimony will
probably he interrupted for an ex-
tended argument on the admissibility
of a mass of evidence already in the
record
The defense operated today along
nearly all of its lines. There were
attacks on Orchards testimony at
several points. there was showing
that union miners had been abused
by the mine owners and militia at
Cripple Creek and Telluride, there
was showing that Pinkerton agents
had advised violence and endeavOred
to prolong the strike, a woman who
served with the relief committee
that looked after the families of the
depOrted miners at Cripple Greek
swore that she had been twice ar
rested and twice warned that If she
persisted in her work she would he
deported, and another woman pcat-
ed Orchard with Detectives Scott and
Sterling the night of the second at
tempt TO wreck the Florence and
CriDlle Creek railway train.
Two of the witnesses were men
who figured cOnspicuously in the tes-
timOny of Orchard. They were Da-
vid Coates. former lieutenant gov
ernor of Colorado, and Pat Moran,
formerly a saloon keeper of Chev-
enne. Coates positively denied Or
chard's version of the plot to kidnap
the children of August Paulson, and
Moran denied that he made trip
from Cheyenne to Denver after the
Independence station was blown lip
for tine purpose of getting $500 from
George =. Pettibone for Orchard.
