VITAL STATISTICS
FOR DECEMBER
Show Rapid Increase of Native Born
Population Of Texas-Many Twins
and Some Triplets.

Austin, Texas, Feb. 15.-During the
month of December, according to the
Texas state board Of health, fifty
seven sets of twins and two sets OF
triplets were born in this state The
actual incrase in population in excess
of deaths as the result of births for
the month was 242S. Today Texas has
in round numbers 100000 inhabitants.
Taking the December increase by
births alone as an average. 1000 per
month will raise the population to g.
1000 ten years hence. So it is quite
evident that by natural processes
alone Texas will be in at the count
when the next census is taken.

KILLS DETECTIVE
IN CLERK STRIKE
Mounds Policeman Shoots Spe-

Illinois Central.
IN DEFENDING HIS SON
Sleuth Fires on Picket and Father
Returns Attack-EXonerated
by Jury.

Mounds, H., Sept. 1s.-As a result
of the strike of 60 Illinois Central
yard and freight clerks in the local
Office here, Special Agent Mcknight
was shot 10 death yesterday near First
street by City Policeman Walbridge
after Mcknight had fired on Wal
bridges son, who was a strikers
picket.
Mcknight had gone to the city with
strike-breaker to mail a letter. On
their return John Walbridge attempt
ed to speak with them. The special
agent drew a revolver and began
shooting. Some of the cartridges did
not explode, however. Policeman Wal
bridge then emptied an automatic re
volver at Mcknight, inflicting three
wounds, which caused his death.
JURY SAYS "JUSTIFIABLE."
The coroner's jury released the Wal
bridges on a verdict of justifiable hom-
icide A number of strikebreakers
are working today and being fed by
the National Hotel company, which op-
crates all the hotels along the Illinois
Central lines. Food and lodging have
been refused them in the city and the
feeling in town and county is bitter
against them.
The trouble arose over the refusal of
two union clerks, John Walbridge and
Norris Taylor, of Mounds. to act as
strike-breakers at st. Louis. They
were refused transportation home and
discharged upon their return to
Mounds. This caused the walkout.
At the clerks meeting committees
were appointed to handle the strike
in a quiet and business-like manner,
and their advice to members not being
used on committee work was to stay
off the streets and avoid any sem
blance Of violence.

orously defended the decisions of the
United States supreme court in the
oil and tobacco cases. There was a
distinct campaign note in Taft's
challenge to Bryan to point out what
particular contract or restraint of
trade he would condemn which
would not be condemned with a def
inition of the statute as laid down
by Chief Justice White.
WHO'S DOING THE TALKINGs
Taft added rather significantly
that persons who do not understand
decisions, and really do not under
stand the law, have had a great deal
to say about them. 1t was not fair
to the court, he declared, to say it
had read the word reasonable" into
the antitrust statute. He declared
himself opposed to an amendment of
the antitrust law. The outcry for
amendments, the president said, had
resulted in proposals prepared with
out real understanding of the law.
PROMOTING DIsCONTENT.
He added that while this agitation
might serve the purpose of promot-
ing Unreasonable and unreasoning
discomfort it certainly ought not to
be considered seriously. Taft refer
red to the fact that Immediately af-
ter the trust decisions were handed
down, La Toilette spread on the pub
lie records a quotation from one of
the Presidents messages as being at
variance with the rule of reason"
laid down by the court. The presi-
dent asserted his views as expressed
in the message were in exact accord
with the decisions.
