THE RECENT LYNcHlNe OUT
IN TEXAS.

Washington, Nov. 11.--Complying g
with request made by Secretary of
State Knox, inquiry has been Insti-
tuted by Gov. Campbell, of Texas, into
the lynching of Antonio Rodriguez at
Rock Springs Nov. 8. Until the re-
suit of this inquiry Is learned a def
mite reply will not be given to the
Mexican government request by Am
bassador De Labara, that an official
explanation be made of the inciuent.
1t is believed that the Mexican gov

course and will do it's utmost to pre-
vent further hostile demonstrations
against the Americans in Mexico City.
Fifty-one men are now in Jail in Mex
leo City for acts of vandalism during
the riots there, according to advices
received by the state department from
United States Ambassador Wilson.
The Ambassador says the streets are
being patrolled and he does not an
ticipate further acts of violenc+ Mex

LOCAL BAND MAY NOT

Which May Cause Disarmament or the

Which May Cause Disarmament or the
Organization.
It seems very doubtful that the
First infantry band will be able to at
tend the unveiling OF the Oglethorpe
monument at Savannah on Nov. 33.
The members are anxious to go, as
it would be a tig advertisement for
Brunswick, and because it is the reg
1lar tand of the First infantry Of
Georgia. AS most of the men are enl-
ployed and paid by the hour or day,
lays wages. It Is will also be neces-
sary to secure several outside musi-
clans and of course they will have
to be paid. To take a strong musical
organization that would be a credit
to Brunswick 1t would require about

Nor do | think the Jack.OLantern
bugaboo of Roosevelt's imagined
monarchal ambitions cut any consid-

simple fact is that a democratic tri-

by the enforced retirement OF Al

F. e. Ward, general manager of the

Ward made his statement Tuesday he
had not received information of the
successful outcome of the Burlington
roads condemnation suit against Mrs.

as they are needed at the various In

Steel Cars Guard Life.
Managers of the large railroad sys-
TENS and of many of the smaller lines
are planning better protection for the
front ends of passenger trains While
railroad operators have always recog-
nized or rather been of the opinion
that the front end of the passenger
trains were more dangerous than the
rear, there has been no systematic eff
forts to afford extra protection. This
is to be done now by the introduction
of all steel cars for the first two or
three on every train. Vice President
F. o. Melcher of the ROCK Island SAID:
More than year ago we determined
to safeguard our trains from the head
end, and in pursuance of that policy
we have bought steel postal cars. bag

will put in no more head-end cars of
wooden construction. This is to be
