DISGUISED
AS NEGRO
Woman From Oklahoma Took
Strange Means 10 Escape
From Worrying Creditors
(Fronm Mondays Daily)


Seeking to escape from creditors
who had hsrassed her till she could
not find d solution to her difficulties,
Mrs. Hackett aged Al, of Leedy,
okla, presented this morning the
most, unique case Of borrowed iden
tity that has ever come to the notice
Of officers here, and spent several
hours in the custody of the officers
while her story was being investl-
gated.
When City officer Ernest Hughes
placed her under arrest this morn
ing she was in the negro compart-
ment OF coach on the Rock Island
train which was Just ready to start
east. Under the black veil whlcl
covered her face 1t could still be
seen that her face, too, was black.
but the blackness when her face Guild
be seen as the veil shifted, was too
suspiciously like that put on by ar
tifictal negroes in minstrel shows.
one gave way almost instantly when
the officer took charge Of her and
TREMENDOUSLY admitted that she was
not what she seemed to be. She said
that she wanted to go to Weather.
ford, Okla, that she was trying to
get away from some people In Dew
ey county, Okla, and that her broth
er was on the train and would prove
her story. A short search discov-
cred the man whom she said was
her brother. Then the two were TAX
en- to the city building.
To Help His Sister.
The man who gave his name az
Henry Way, was a sunbrowned fell
low Of middle age, plainly but sub
stantiaIly dressed, and his appear
ance as a whole bore out his story
that he had been a farmer in Dewey
county, Okla,J and that he had come
to Amarillo yesterday to Join his sis
ter who had written to him for help
Seeing that the case was one which
the county authorities should prop
erly act upon, Chief snider took thu
couple over to the courthouse. Their
the woman, in the lavatory Of tn,
sheriff's office, washed away the
black with which she had sought t
disguise herself She had owned
little store, she explained further t.
the officers, and through the mis-
take, or rascality of a partner, sh
had become involved in financial dit
1 ficulties. These bothered her I'll
= she could not settle them hersel
= and in her desperation she set out t
!. get to her daughters home befor
3 her creditors found out about it.
s Her bearing and that Of her broth
I er we're such as to lead the officer
j to believe that the two people Wer
q? innocent of any criminal intent eve
: if their actions we're remarkable an
o they were accordingly released. s
In the morning they will again max
a start for Weatherford.

Wants To Work.

A resolution reading in part as
follows was offered in the house to-
day by Mr.. Edwards, of Georgia:
Whereas, people and business insti-
tntions Of all kinds are suffering
from the panic that is upon us and
the r-hole country is demanding that
something be done for relief; and,
Whereas, the house Of representa-
tives now has been in session for over
thirty days and has accomplished alb
solutely nothing along these lines but
instead is killing time upon matters
that are not nearly so vital; there
fore be it,
Resolced, That 8 O'Clock in the
morning be fixed as the hour for con
vening instead of IL o clock noon, and
that the hour from l to until be
allowed for lunch, and that the house
remain in session until 6 O'Clock in
the afternoon, or later If necessary in
order that we may get down to work,
do something for the country and ad-
Journ before hot weather comes on.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on rules.

More Good Whiskey.

Considerable satisfaction is felt in
pure food circles here at the result
Of the Attorney Generals decision in
the case relating to internal revenue
regulations, and the branding Of casks
and barrels containing spirits. 1t is
believed that as result it there
will be a much more extensive knowl-
edge on the part Of consumers Of spir-
its as to what they are drinking than
ever before. It is believed also that
the decision will cut off the plan
which had been followed by distillers
of branding great quantity of bot
tied in bond spirits as whisky" not
wthstanding that they had been re-
duced to proof and are merely alco-
hol.
Hundreds of thousands Of gallons
Of neutral spirits have been placed in
storage in wood since the decision of
Mr.. Bonaparte last spring it is stated
with the intention of leaving the spir
its there for four years and then bot
Ting them as whisky under the reg
ulations of the internal revenue law
as heretofore construed. Under the
new decision, this will not be possible
as only distillages of grain contain
ing not only alcohol, but the congen-
eric products will be branded whisky
henceforth.

mainder hard to dispose Of under pres
ent financial conditions, they decided
to make an assignment. The bank

War in Hayti.

tie and that the revolusionists were
repulsed. Telegraphic communication
had been interrupted.
The second dispatch received stat
ed that Mr.. Furness had had an inter-
view with President Nord Of Hayti
who had insisted upon bombarding
st. Marie. Lieut.. Commander Mar
vel had protested against the bonn
bardment until a reasonable time had
been allowed in which to move the

THE CORTELYOU
RESIGNATION
INFORMATION SAID TO BE WITH
OUT FOUNDATION.
WILL COST $S00,000,00O
Secretary Taft Thinks Ultimate
Cost of Canal Will Be Three Hun
dred Million and It Will Be Fin
ished in 1914.

The publication of the Cortelyou
resignation rumor has been prema-
ture. Whatever the true relations be
tween the Secretary and Treasury
and the President may be there seems
to be perfect unanimity that the res
ignation has not left the. Secretary S
hand nor entered the Presidents. The
relations between Mr.. Cortelyou and
Private Secretary Loeb are not so cor
dial. Friends of the former charge
Mr.. Loeb with having put Mr.. Cor
telyou in false light before the pub
lie and they also believe that he is re-
sponsible for the impression that has
been created that the President and
Mr.. Corteiyou are on the outs.
Cortelyou proposes to stay in the
Department, unless the President
should indicate that his resignation
is desired. This, Mr.. Cortelyou s
friends say, is not expected, for there
is no reason why such a request
should be made. Because he has no
thought of resigning Mr.. Cortelyou
has refused offers to accept the pres
idency of big financial institutions.
He has had these offers on an aver
age Of about two a month. All have
been rejected. Despite the efforts of
certain interests unfriendly ito Cor
telyou to have it appear that he and
the president have broken, it is said
there is no warrant for this statement
1t is true that the two have had dis
agreements on the wisdom Of making
certain appointments. Mr.. Cortelyou
on each Of these occasions, frankly
told the president why he differed
from him, and he matter was thor
oughly threshed out and no misunder-
standings created.
How the president regards the Cor
telyou presidential boom may be judg
ed by the increased interest and ac-
tivity he has been showing in behalf
of Secretary Taft. 1t has been fire.
quently stated here that if Secretary
Cortelyou really considers himself a
presidential possibility he ought to
retire from the Cabinet and organize
a machine in such a way that would
relieve him of the charge of disloy-
atty to his chief.

Three Entombed Men.

Ely, Nev.-Solid ground was reach
ed IN the Alpha shaft in the 1000
foot level in which three miners have
been entombed since December 4. The
timbers which had fallen from above
were wedged in the shaft holding back
the debris and leaving an opening
large enough for the rescuers to crawl
through. They descended on a ladder
to point rs feet below the mouth
of the shaft. The opening extended
farther but just how far is not
known. The ladder broke and this
prevented further exploration. Mine
Foreman McAfee descended to with
in 80 feet Of the 1000 foot level,
where he found solid ground.
1t is now believed the men will be
released within thirty-six hours, It
is rumored that one Of the entombed
men has lost his mind, the cause be-
ing the receipt of letter announcing
the death Of his mother.

formation II IS ascertained that the
railroads of Tennessee will fight the
recent order of the Tennessee rail-
road commission in reducing the pas
senger fares in the state from three
cents to two and half cents per
mile, effective April l, 1908. Railroad
officials GENERALLY attribute the cause
Of the order and the agitation Of the
rate reduction to politics, and claim
that as result Of politicians making
an effort to come into public favor,
their interests are being made to suf-
fer. Officials of the railroads claim
further that the enforcement Of the
order will have very injurious eff
feet upon the railroad interests of
the south and that the cry Of more
roads for undeveloped communities
will be strangled by the politicians
IN their efforts to- curry public favor
and be ushered into office.
