P. Merrill Grifhth, the United States

"Tampico is a cosmopolitan sort OF

Mexico City and is the gateway Of
most OF the merchandise imported from
New York. They have recently COM

the latter are equipped with all the

population OF about $4,000 It's inn

greatly increased during the last few

In the vicinity. None OF the oil pro-

There has recently been wonder

vicinity of Tampico. Many Ameri-

going down there and going in for
raising citrous fruits or henequin and

The price OF land runs from So an acre

ACQUITTED SLAYER GONE
CAHILL DISAPPEARS, FEARING
INSANITY CHARGE.
Brother of Victim, Dissatisfied With
Verdict, Assaults Sheriff as
Responsible.

ROCKY MOUNT, Va, April 22.-After
ten inmates deliberation this morning the
jury returned a verdict of not guilty in
the case of DIR. J. S. Cahill, the wealthy
dentist, who was charged with the murdef
of Robert Smithers.
Proceedings to pass upon the question
Of Cahilrs sanity Immediately upon the
rendering of the verdict had been con-
templated in case the jurors found him
innocent. Before these proceedings had
been begun, however, Cahill had disap-
peared and could not be located.
At the trial. which began Monday ex-
perts in mental diseases testified that
Cahill was a dangerous lunatic and should
be kept locked UP, because he was liable
to kill himself or some one else at any
time.
During the trial counsel for Cahill used
the unwritten law as an argument for
Justification of the murder, 1t being al
legged that Smit,:,-s broke up Cahiifs
home.
Smithers was shot to death by Cahill
in a pistol duel The latter was lodged
In Jail, but later released on $50, bond.
Following adjournment OF court,
Thomas Smithers. a city policeman and
a brother Of the man whom Cahill MUIR
dered, attacked Sheriff Nicholson on the
street.
Smithers was incensed at the verdict.
and charged the sheriff with improper
handling Of the Cahiil jury.
Several blows passed between the men
before they were parted by friends.
Col. P. H. billiard of counsel for Cahill
later stated that Cahill had disappeared
to avoid possible arrest on a warrant
charging him with being insane.

FOWLER HAS NO SHOW
HAS SHOT HIS BOLT, IN OPINION
OF CONGRESS.
Resolution Put to Sleep-Scheme
Not Concurred In by Insur-
gents Nor Democrats.

The opinion is widely held among mem.
bers Of the House that Representative
Fowler. author of the resolution to create
committe on committees, shot his bolt
yesterday, and that his effort will die
a-borning.
The resolution is now snugly reposing
IN the committe on rules, where Ii will
probably sleep the sleep of the just for
the remainder Of the season. II was said
by parliamentarians that the resolution
has no privileged character. and that Mr..
Fowler cannot pry 1t out of COMMITTEES
without majority vote in committee
MT. FoWlers move yesterday il was
said today, was a kind of hair-trigger
proposition, In that he acted without con.
sultat1on with any one or assurance of co,
operation. His Acknowledgements were
surprised So were the democrats, and
also panied.
The fact is, the democrats are not cutie
ready to put across a resolution embody.
ing the principle of the Fowler resolution.
TO do so would deprive them of valuable
campaign issues In the coming elections.
With Senator Aldrich retiring from
public life. the Speaker already shorn
Of his power in the committee on rules,
and the last vestige of authority proposed
to be taken from him by a committee
on committees, democrats ask where
would be their favorite outcry against
Cannonism and Aldrichism?
Moreover, with possibility of demo-
cratic House in the next Congress over
spreading the political horizon like q
blessed rainbow of promise, this revolu-
ton in House procedure might come back
to poster them.
So. taken by and large, Mr.. Fowler's
move yesterday did not appeal to either
the democrats or the insurgents as par
ticularly suspicious.
The Fowler plan is declared to be un.
workable and impracticable by Soma
1tN4r of he
lyzed 1t. 1t divides the country into
seven zones, from which members of the
proposed committee on committees are
to be selected. 1t Is said that In two
Of the zones there are few democrats, IL
two others few republicans. and that, in
fact. equable representation between the
two parties could be found in only two
out Of the seven zones.

From the Century
Long years of experience have demon
strated to the seekers after the under
lying causes of business failure the fact
that, generally speaking, four-fifths of
ell failures are due to faults inherent in
the person, while about one-fifth are due
to cause outside and beyond his own
control This proportion varies slightly
In some years of stress, but on the whole
the percentages are SO constant that in
themselves they constitute virtual guar
antee of statistical accuracy. Under the
head Of faults due to the subject himself
the following causes are grouped by
Bradstreet's:
incompetence Irrespective of other
causes).
Inexperience without other incompe-
tence).
Lack of capital
Unwise granting Of credits
Speculation (outside regular business.
Neglect of business (due to doubtful
habits.
Personal extravaganza.
Fraudulent disposition Of property.
On the other hand. the following causes
are classed as not proceeding from the
faults of those failing:
Specific conditions disaster, panic, etc).
Failures of others (of apparently solvent
debtors).
Competition.
