 CANADIAN MINISTER
ROAD PREFERS IFS OWN PLAN
 TO SETTLE STRIKE.
Accept Arbitration Offer on Certain Conditions.

Toronto, July 23.-Unles5 the att tude of the Grand Trunk railway oiti cials towards the strikers change, it is improbable that the offer of the minister of labor to furnish a board of arbitration free of charge will be accepted Both sides seem deter mined to carry on the fight.
 We are arbitrating now in our own way" said President Berry of the Order of Railway Conductors. "and we are making as good job of it as anybody could"
 The strikers committee has sent an answer to the minister, accepting on condition that they appoint two out of three arbitrators, naming Hon. E. T.. Clarke of the American insterstate commerce commission, and P. H. Mor rissey, president of the Railway Elm ployes' and Investors association. President Hays of the Grand Trunk has replied that this proposal is not acceptable.
 In the meantime, the company 's running most of its through passen- ger trains and some freights, and rremising to have everything normal within few days.

WET OR DRY ISSUE BEFORE THE PRIMARIES IN THE c%L
 STAR STAT
FIVE FOR GOvERN0RSHiP
Legislature in Special Session and Governor Is Expected to Act Prompt on Submission
 Question.


 of the Democratic primaries today will practically determine the ques- tion of whether Texas Is to have state wide prohibition.
 On the ballot that has been pre- pared is printed the words For Sub- mission,' and Against Submission" If the voter favors the legislature being instructed to submit to vote of the whole people a proposed con- stitutional amendment providing for statewide prohibition he will cast the ballot in favor of it; if he is op posed to tho proposition he wit east his vote against it.
 The leaders of the prohibition fac. tion claim that the submission propo- sition is carrying by large majority. The result will be binding upon the legislature. The opinion is general among the well-infsrmed meNbers of both factions of the party that if statewide prohibition is ever submit ted to vote of the people in a gen eral election it will carry.
 Five Seek Nomination.
 The candidates of the Democratic party for governor who are being voted on today at the primaries are Cone Johnson and William Poindex- ter, representing the prohibition ele- ment; o. B. Colquitt, representing the anti-prohibition organization; R. V. Davidson, who declines to make pro- hibition an issue of the campaign, but who favors submission, and J. Mar tin Jones, farmer and prohibition ist, who will receive only a few scat tering votes.
 The fact that there are two prohi- bition candidates in the field will di- vide the vote of that faction It is thought that the race is between Col quitt and Davidson. with the chances in favor of the formers success.
 Governor Campbell, who will retire from office next January, is aligned with the prohibition faction of the party. He is bitterly opposed, per sonally and politically, to Colquitt.
 The legislature is now in special session, and it is stated on trust worthy authority that should MT. Col quitt be nominated for governor an effort will be made by Governor Campbell to bring about statewide prohibition by means of a cons .itu- tional convention to be called by the legislature for that special purpose.
 The governor has investigated the legal phase of the question and is convinced that it is within the power of the legislature in special session to call constitutional convention for a specific purpose by a majority vote. It is known that a majority of the members of the house and senate fa- vor the proposition. It is understood. however, that this contemplated ac- ton will not be taken unless th1 sub- mission proposition carries in the pri. maries. It would then be taken to mean that majority of Democrats of the state favor the complete eradica. tion of the saloons in the state.
 It is expected that about 450,OOO Democratic votes will be cast by the time the primaries close today. The candidate who receives a plurality will be the nominee under the new provision of the election law.

CR|PPEN HIDES IN
 SMALLEST REPUBLIC
FUGITIVE BELIEVED TO BE IN HALF-FORGOTTEN ANDORRA.
Scotland Yard Centers Efforts on Bleak Spot Where Twenty
 Four Men Rule.

London. July 23.-Official advices received by the operatives of Scot land Yard strengthen the belief that Dr. H. H. Crippen, murderer of his wife. Belle Elmore, the actress, has sought refuge in the almost forgotten little republic of Andorra, where he Is practically immune from extradi- tion. According to various authori- ties Crippen was last seen at Vernet Les Baines, the French watering place on the south slope of the Pyre- nees. fleeing from there to Mont Louis, from which he probably made his way to the tiny republic.
 So positive have been the identifi- cations of the man seen at Vernet Les Baines as Crippen that Scotland Yard is centering all its activity in that direction.
 Andorra is an independent republic, 175 square miles in area, lying high up on the southern slope of the Pyrenees, between France and Spain. It is desoiate place, under snow six months of the year. There are only 5000 inhabitants, but they have guard ed their independence since the time of Charlemagne.
 Though noninally under the power of the republic of France and the Spanish bishop of Ufgel. Andorra has never submitted to domination by those countries. It is ruled by 24 men, who select a syndic for life.
 Communication between Andorra and the outside world is very limited. and the simple shepherds are not often willing to allow a foreign crim- inal to be taken from their borders.

The Return of the Wanderer.

Jackson Franklin, our well known
townsman, returned last Friday from
a three months visit at his boy
Carolina. He was accompanied by a
large party of North Carolinans. IA
in all, who. fired by his descriptions
of the wonderful resources and nat
ural advantages of the San Luis val
ley, come to make their home here.
Mr.. Franklin has been a resident of
this valley about fourteen years and
this. is his second visit to the scenes
of his childhood during that time. He
says that he was greatly surprised at
the changes time has wrought since
his last visit about seven years ago.
AL is not well with that country and
in place of progress and prosperity
he found retrogression and poverty.
That part of North Carolina is NOUN
famous and 1t is said of the people
nat they all wear pegged shoes. A
stranger once asked the shoemaker
why he did not sew his shoes and
he replied that the valleys were not
wide enough to allow him to stretch
out his arms as he wonld have to do
if he used a wax end.
Mr.. Franklin says that the land of
these small valleys is worn out with
constant farming and fertilizers are
not of much use as the rains prompt
ly wash them away and the land is
garden truck is all they are able to
raise and in the southern part some
cotton for which the cost of ferti .izer
ETC., Almost eats up all profits. To
add to other troubles the population
is increasing rapidly and SO desperate
is the situation in many instances
that the people subsist on one meal
day. Farmers who have owned
timber land have got along fairly well
and in a few cases have saved mon
this resource is now practically ex-
hausted and the condition of the ma
jority of the people is exceedingly
desperate.
Mr.. Franklin wishes that he might
move few hundred families from that
over-populated country to the thous-
ands of fertile and unframed acres
of the San Luis valley. and in furth-
erance of the wish has made a good
start by bringing with him three fam
lilies and two single men from the vi
cinity of Newton, in the southern
part of the state
Mr.. F. T. Place and family of New
ton. Mr.. Place being a blacksmith
by trade, two Ramsey brothers, one
with a family and one single, Eugene
Haynes and family and his brother
ary Haynes, who is a single man
All of these will settle in the vicin-
ity of La Jara.
