Charles Robbins. late of the Fried
man-saelby Shoe Company, of this
city, appeared before Mayor Potts
and a number of business men on
Friday, June 10, with reference to
another shoe factory for Mexico. Mr..
Robbins states that Roberts-John-
son & Rand were going to build an
other shoe factory in some town
lear ST. Louis, and that he thought
that Mexico was the place for it.
The people of Mexico are anxious to
have factories and, of course, they
are willing to do anything reasonable
to bring such an enterprise here. Re
garding the question of whether there
was sufficient labor here for another
shoe factory, afr. Robbins said he
was satisfied there was. He also
stated that Roberts-Johnson & Rand
are willing to come to Mexico II the
proper inducements are offered. On
motion OF r. NJ. White, Mayor Potts
was instructed to ask Roberts-John-
son & Rand to put their proposition
In writing. stating how large a fac
tory they expected to build, how
many people they expected to en-.
ploy and what they wanted Mexico
to in order to secure the proposition,
The business men present at the
meeting seemed to be Of the opin-
ion that the best way to arrive at a
conclusion in reference to the propo-
sition was to find out Just what the
Company expected TO do, and what
would be asked of Mexico. There
seems to be some difference of opin-
Ion regarding the question Of labor
in Mexico. There are plenty Of PEG.
pie here who ought TO be at work,
but for some reason or another they
don't are to take hold. The Fried
man-Shelby Shoe Company has prov.
en- a big thing for Mexico and has
brought thousands Of dollars here
and employed a large number Of PEG.
pie. 1t seems to the writer as
though there should be plenty of la
Dor to supply the demand. At the
same time the Friedman-Shelby Shoe
Company are In the market to-day
for more labor and express a de-
sire to increase their capacity az
soon as they can get people to han
lie the work. AS soon as Roberts
Johnson & Rand make a definite pro
position a meeting of our business

A cyclone which swept owe the
capital city last night unroofed 5 of
the largest buildings in the State
prison, put the electric light plant
of the institution out of commission
and worked damage to the amount of
more than 100000.
One of the buildings partially wreck
ed by the storm was what is known
as e. hall, one of the largest of
the cell buildings, in which 500 con-
victs sleep.
They remained in the building dur
ing the night, but 1t was heavily
guarded. Only two conyicts, so far
as can be learned, were injured when
the roof and the fire wall of the cell
buildings were wrecked.
The roof was also blown from a
large factory building occupied by
the Star Clothing Company and from
the chapel building. The fire walls
on all three Of the buildings collap.
sed and the falling of hundreds Of
tons of stone and mortar created a
panic among the prisoners,
Fortunately all of the conyicts had
been marched to their cells before
the storm broke, otherwise there
would have been many killed and
possibly d riot in the fear and ex-
element following the crash.
Warden Henry Andrae kept every
officer on duty last night to guard
against a possible outbreak and
many citizens were ready to yolun-
teer assistance, If it should be
needed.
The walls of the cell buildings are
intact and safe. For a time it was
feared there would be a general at
tempt on the part of %convicts to es.
! cape, because the lighting plant was
crippled and the Penitentiary was in
darkness. This was speedily rem
edied. however, and Mr.. Andrae an.
nounced that the conyicts had quiet.
