New York, May Ito, this Is the

riches and strengthened himself in his
wick Cdncss.'
Taking the Fifty second psalm as
his text, j. ID. Rockefeller, Jr,, ad-
dressed the young mems Bible class of
the Fifth Avenue Baptist church for
the first time in sew sral months yes
terday and his talk was regarded as
one of the most Interesting he ever
delivered before the class particularly
as ne spoke on the accumulation Of
wealth and deplored the present day
tendency to obtain power and riches
by means not always legitimate.
There is no sin he said, in ac-
rumulatiug wealth in an honest and
legitimate manner and using that
wealth rightfully."

need for men who make little money
but lead righteous lives; men who can
always be trusted To do the right thing

diCdtion for Congressman. Who
Told His Opponents None of
Them Would Be Permitted
on the Delegation.

Dallas, Texas, May Awhile re-
turns are not completed from the pri-
marles held Saturday throughout the
state for the selection of a delegation
to go to the Democratic national con-
vention, and which resolved into
fight against Senator Bailey, sufficient
information has been received to show
that Senator Bailey has been fully
vindicated by the voters.
Bailey has won the primaries by
a majority of upwards of $4,000 votes,
and will head the delegation at large
which will go to the national conven-
tion. His victory is complete and in
all parts of the state he overwhelmed
his opponents, headed by Cone John
son, who aspired to head the dele
gates in opposition to Bailey.

field, Henderson. Mr.. Baileys oppon-
cnt In the fight was Cone Johnson. a
prominent lawyer of Tyler.
The fight on Bailey was brought
about py his assertion that none os
his political enemies sh uld 50 to the
national Democratic conyention as
delegates. This assertion he made In
speech during the investigation by
Congress of his alleged connection
with the Standard Oil. The result of
the investigation was entirely favor
able to Bailey. the Senate committee
being dismissed before il could reach
an agreement and the House commit
tee fully exonerating the Texas sena-
tor from the taint of being connected
with the oil trust.
On the conclusion of this investiga-
tion Bailey started ampaign
against his political opponents in the
state and the fight was one of the
hardest even witnessed m this state.
The result of Saturdays primaries
shows that Senator Bailey has the
support of big majority of his peo-
pie, his opponent failing 20 secure by
big per cent the number of votes

for Holding Company.
WILL NOT VIOLATE
ANTITRUST LAWS

ST. Louis, May 4-Lumbermen rep
reserting companies comprising in
their holdings about dive million
acres, or practically all of the yellow
pine timber of the South, have been
holding an executive conference here
for the past two days. and 1t is un-
dorstood the purpose of the meeting
ls to form a holding corporation or
merger, not only to conserve the tim
her supply, but also to maintain equit-
able prices on yellow pine products.
Il is stated that the proposed or
ganizatfon will be capitalized for
about $500, 100000 and because of the
heavy corporate fees and other re-
striCtions in Missouri the concern will
probably be incorporated in Delaware
or New Jersey.
The holdings of the various COM
panies, representing 100 plants, will
be sted in the corporation and the
stockholders of each will simply ex-
change their stock share for share,
for stock in the holding company,
That the companies may not run
counter to the antitrust laws the gov
crnment has been duly advised, and
he details of the proposed corpora
tior and the scope and general pur-
poses fully outlined. A committee
was appointed today to work out
plans for the deal and another meet
ing will be held here in a month or
six weeks to hear the committees re-
port.
II is said that the Washington au-
thor'ties have full knowledge OF the
plan and that every precaution has
been taken to avoid violation of law.

OF Missing Crazy Men.
GUARD FAMILY FOR
FEAR OF VIOLENCE

Las Vegas, N M, May 4.-William
W. Roberts and John Finn, two pa
tients at the territorial asylum in
this city, escaped from the institution
sunday and are still at large. A
search by officials of the institution.
aided by local officers, of the town
and surrounding country, fails to re-
veal any trace of the two crazy men
and 1t is believed they are on their
way to their respective homes.
Robert was sent to the asylum
from Lincoln county and Finn from
Mckinley county. Neither has been
regarded as dangerous and for this
reason neither was more strictly con-
fined than others of the mildly in
sane patients. Sunday the two men
succeeded in eluding the guards and
escaped. The escape was not discov-
cred for some little time and this
gave the two men a good start. A
posse has been securing the country
for it is feared that the men may be-
come violent and attack some one.
but So far neither has been found.
Roberts was sent to the asylum
for threatening to kill his family and
t. IL feared that he planned to es-
cape from the asylum, go back home
and carry his threat into execution.
on this account the authorities OF
Lincoln county have been warned and
a guard will be kept over Roberts
family until the escaped patient is
recaptured.
Authorities throughout the terri
tory have been warned of the escape
and are instructed TO watch out for
