DISASTER CAME ON TOWN

Bayless Pulp and Paper Company,

Forty bodies have been recovered,

dead are State Senator Baldwin and
his entire family.
The survivors are in frenzy.
There is no organization, and the
town is dazed by the force of the
calamity which came without mo-

feared he has been drowned. Hun

from broken gas pipes almost before

from the moment the mighty wall of
waters tore through the town, and
there will be no relief until help
comes from the surrounding towns.

track of the flood.
Dam Was Modern Structure.
The dam was built two years ago,
a great structure, $50 feet long, SPAN

forty-nine feet. 1t was of concrete,
thirty-two feet wide at the base, and
said to be constructed after the most
approved plans of modern engineer
ing. The basin behind it had never
been filled with water until this
week, and today it was noticed that
water was running over the top of,
the structure. Many persons went
out from the town, a mile and a half

Dog Sneak Steals
Hand Bag and Seeks
to Bury it in Yard
Mrs. M. P, Byrd Reports Theft of
Money and Vsluables and Finds
Them While After.

The latest sneakthief Is a dog After
stealing a handbag with contents amount
ing to $50 and causing an excited telephone
call to the police, the culprit suffered
quick arrest and Identification.
Mrs. NJ. P. Byrd. 1901 Dodge street. was
the victim Of the brief loss yesterday.
Mrs. Byrd reported to the police in the
morning that her satchel and vaiuables had
been stolen by a sneakthief from her
room. She believed the thief gained en-
trance through the front door, which was
open. The satchel was infinitely described
as brass trimmed and the contents listed
as $50 In cash, a certificate Of deposit
for 500, bank book and a lady's gold
watch. A few minutes after the report
Of the theft Mrs. Byrd again called the
station and announced the recovery. She
discovered the purse lying in the back
yard. quick deduction from the fact that
the family dog was proficiently trained in
carrying the purse to please visitors
brought suspicion against the canine.
When the animal was questioned in a
severe third degree" he hung his fuzzy
head. From the manner in which the
purse had been left on the ground, II ap-
peared the discovery would have been i'm
possible short time later. The dog had
begun to dig a hole, and apparently
the purse would have been buried in a few
minutes. Mrs. Byrd said the dog had
never appeared TO dislike the purse nor
the frequent trick Of showing off with it.

Interstate Commerce Body's First Act

WASHINGTON, May ia policy pur-

similarly situated, nothing but a difference
in the service rendered or facilities furn-

exacted."
The decision prepared by Commissioner
Harlan, was in the case OF William d.
Shoemaker of Drummond, Mo, against
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
company, the first telephone case considered
by the commission since congress placed
telephone companies as common carriers,
under the commissions jurisdiction.

GOVERNOR COLQUITT


During the campaign in the
primaries a year ago thousands
of people opposed the nomlna-
ton of Hon. o. B. Colquitt for
Governor, and they had good
grounds for their opposition.
However, owing to a foolish
and reckless division among the
bulk Of the moral element Of
the State, he received the plu-
rality nomination, though he
lacked 50, 900 votes receiving
majority of the number cast.
Under the election laws of the
State, this gave him the nom
ination, and the nomination was
equivalent to election.
After he was inaugurated Cow
ernor of Texas the most Of those
who had opposed him suspended
their oposition and accepted
him as their Governor, and they
express the desire that he would
drop his fractional leadership and
become Governor Of all the peo-
pie. The Advocate came out IN
an editorial and expressed this
desire, and pledged itself 70
cooperate with him in any and
all the good work he might do
TO this end. We. furthermore,
spoke of his membership in the
Methodist church and intimated
that il would be most crafty
ing to the ministry and the mem
bership Of the church if il
should so turn out that Governor
Colquitt would disappoint alllthe
fears entertained concerning his
course as Governor.
A trihe over six months of his
administration has passed, and
what is the result? Why, the
Governor instead of disapoint-
ing our fears, has more than
confirmed them all. In some of
his official acts he has outraged
the moral sentiment Of the
State, and now 10 cap the eli
max he has practically aban-
don his office at Austin and
gone out on the stump in open .
and bold advocacy Of the saloons .
as licensed institutions in Texas.
He has done this, not as an in
dividuaI but as governor of
Texas. He has actually put him
self into the leadership of the
saloon interests and is throwing
back of them the full power
and force of his administration.
He is doing even more. Not
satisfied with his public adyo-
cacy Of the licensed saloons, and
with his leadership Of the saloon
forces Of the State. as their
ayowed champion and defender,
he is denouncing his pastor at
Austin. hurting thunderbolts at
the ministers as political
preachers, " and at the church as
the breeding ground Of strife
and discord instead Of the place
