|O|Az AN ADVOCATE
OF MANY REFORMS
FOR FIRST TINE MEXICAN PRES
IDENT URGES CHANGES IN
MEssAGE-FAyORS ONE
TERM FOR PRESIDENT.


Mexico, City. Mexico.-Commit-
ting himself to the advocacy of many
,of the reforms demanded by the rev.
Iolutionists, although professedly
bowling only to the influence OF pub
lie opinion General Diaz answered
ihis critics through. Ms semi-annual
message at the opening Saturday OF
the national congress.
Tie principle of no reelection Of
the chief executive and incumbents
of other elective offices and the re-
form of the electoral laws so that the
privilege of the ballot may be enjoy
ed by those citizens "who are con-
sidereds capable of voting" were ad-
vocated.
The message refers specifically to
the application of the no reelection
principle and to the naming govern
ors, one of the chief contentious of
the disconnected element through
out the republic, the president say
ing that if bill providing for the
periodical renovation" of officials
in question should come before con-
gress, it would have his earnest sup
port.
The abuse of power by the Jefes
politico, another Of the crying evils
complained of by residents in rural
districts throughout Mexico, is to be
abated according to the plan outlin-
led by the president.
The president proposes to i'm
prove the efficiency of the judiciary
through more careful selection of
tits personnel and the lengthening OF
il the tenure of office. Eficacious pun
ishment of judicial functionaries for
malfeasance is to be brought about
through the enactment of more strin-
gent measures.
On the subject of the division OF
great private estates first broached
| by Minister Limantour in his Paris
interview. the chief executive declar-
ed his determination to find suffici-
ent means for bringing about the
innivation.
In no previous message of the
president has there been anything
in the nature of real recommends
ton. Until today his messages have
been mere resume of things ac-
complished.

sUPRxnn COURT OAL1a SUCH
ACTION VIOLATION OF Law.

Warrington. d. C.-1n deeis-
ion that viii have wide effect, thS
United 6takes supreme court today
holds that . manufactures cannot az
q minimum retail price for the ale
of hts products through conditions
imposed upon wholesale dealers. The
court decaases that such Q scheme =
violation Of the Law because It Il
a restraint placed upon trade. The
court made this important finding
today in the case o, The Or lfiles
Medicine company Of Elkhardt. Ind..
vs. John D. Park & Sons Of Cincin-
natl. Miles had specified . mini
mum retail price for his medicine
and brought suit asking that the de-
fendant company be restrained from
cutting this price. This Is refused
by the decision Of the United States
supreme court today.
Numerous articles In every line Of
manufacture are sold under an or
der by the manufactures fixing the
wholesale, and often the retail price.
According to the decision today, this
is unlawful and If carried out, it
will revolutionize the business OF
distributing many well-known pro-
ducts of manufacture.

TAFT SEES SULZER
Explains the Mobilization of
Troops, Wishing to Avoid
a Pabiic Statement.

Washington, D. C.-The biggest
group OF tariff lobbyists in the his
tory of the country is gathering here,
because Chairman Underwood Of the
ways and means committee Of the
House. says the wool schedule will
be taken W for revision, followed by
the cotton, steel and sugar schedul-
ies. A bitter fight is certain to come
over any attempted "piecemeal re-
vision" President Taft will write a
short message to congress this af-
ternoon.
William Jennings Bryan and Gov
ernor Harmon of Ohio are both here
to advise the democrats concerning
the organization of the House when
it convenes tomorrow. They regard
this as critical period for the DEM
ocratic party, for they say the con-
duct of the democratic majority in
this congress will determine the
chances of the democrats for win
nlng the presidency IN 1917.
President Taft sent today for Con-
gresham Sulzer of New York, the
new chairman of the House commit
tee on foreign affairs, and held a
secret conference with him, explain
ing why he mobilized the troops in
Texas. Sulzer refuses to discuss his
conference or say whether he will IA
vor resolution calling on the presi-
dent for an explanation. If congress
does ask the president to make a
public statement upon the matter,
President Taft will probably reply
that it would be incompatible with
the public welfare to do so.

A BRIDE OF TWELVE

AND FINALLY SHOT HERSELF
WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN
INSANE.

Washington Springs. S. DIT was
sad Homecoming on the part of
Lee Irwin when he took his wife
back to Irwin, Iowa. and buried her
In the home cemetery. Two weeks
ago the couple was married at irwin,
and came out here, locating on q
farm some ten miles from this place.
1t was noticeable from the first that
Mrs. Irwin was respondent, and
could not get used to the surround
ings. AS the days passed she became
worse, and she gave alarming symp-
toms of losing her mind. The bride
complained OF the great Loneliness
which possessed her and try as she
would she could not throw 1t of.
During the brief absence of the
husband from her home, she accom-
plished her destruction by shooting
herself in the head, and she was
found cold in death on the return
of Mr.. Irwin an hour or SO after the
deed had been committew. The wife
penned short note to her husband,
and while not stating her reason for
the act, she made it plain to him
that she was despondent and tha,
She was thoroughly homesick. There
was nothing in the note to show but
what she appreciated the efforts OF
her husband to make her life hap.
py, and that she had no fault to find
with him in the least particular.

SUPREME COURT hits
ANTHRACITE COAL TRUST
NEW DEFINITION OF CosElGoDl.
TIES CLAUSE SAYS ITs sPIRIT
MUST NOT BE VIOLATED M

Washington, d. C.-The ''commo-
dities clause Of the Hepburn ra9e
law interpreted two years ago by tho
supreme court ofnthe United States
into what was commonly supposed 70
be an impotent group Of words. was
given new life today by that sane
tribunal in q second interpretation.
So effective was the reconaideGa-
ton Of the subject that government
officials predict that evils sought to
be corrected by the legislation VIII
now be remedied and the railroad
business henceforth divorced fEpm
the coal business, thus breaking up
the anthracite coal trust.
Briefly, the court holds that BY
the operation and effect Of the COM
modities clause there is . duty cast
upon the railroad company purpos-
Ing to carry on an interstate com-
merce product of a producing corpo-
ration in which it has stock inter-
est not to abuse such power % a.
virtually to do by indirection that
which the commodities clause pro-
hibits, duty which plainly would 20
violated by an unnecessary comming-
ling Of the affairs OF the producing
company with It's own so as to cause
them to be one and inseparable.
As a result Of the decision the lows
er court will now allow the govern
ment to amend its petition in the Le-
high Valley railroad case.

FLORIDA men
ARE ARRESTED
IN ALABAMA
WESLEY FELL AND DoREY HAM,
MoND ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE
BEEN ENGAGED IN FRESH WA
TER FISHING IN BALDWIN
COUNTY.
Special to The journal.

Bay Minette, Ala, Aug. 26.-As the
result of a little raid made over the
waters of Perdido bay, in the lower
end of this county, by County Game
Warden j. L. Crouch and Deputy Byrd
Roberts yesterday morning, Wesley
Fell and Dorey Hammond, both resi-
dents of Florida, were brought here
this morning on the charge of vio-
lating the fishing laws of the state Of
Alabama.
For some time the Alabama fisher
men along the Perdido river and bay
have complained about some Florida
fishermen coming into this county for
the purpose of taking out the fish and
carrying them over into Florida, and
Friday Game Warden Crouch decided
to investigate the matter thoroughly
and made the trip. Had it not been
for some trouble with the motor on
their launch, they would probably have
captured several more who were over
in Baldwin county taking out the fish,
but when chase had been started their
engine broke down.
Mr.. Crouch stated this morning that
there were about eight or ten crews
Of fishermen who have been coming
over into this state and also stated
that from this on diligent watch would
be kept and the violators handled by
the courts.
The two who are now here were
found, 1t is alleged, on land at Bear
Point and had drawn their gill net out
and were in the act of taking out q
lot Of fresh water fish. when Crouch
rounded a point. After watching them
some time from a secluded point he
placed them under arrest. Others who
were sighted were in fast motor boats
and made for the Florida shore with
all possible speed.
Crouch has always had a great deal
Of trouble with the waters in the
southern end Of the county, both dur
| ing the best fishing seasons and the
oyster seasons. Last fall and winter
he never ended with the oyster fisher
men who were constantly bothered by
outsiders coming into their grounds
and this year. after putting a stop t.
the oyster troubles, the scene of trouble
has shifted to the eastern border wa
tiers of the county where some of tn,
best salt and fresh water fishing af-
forded in the south is had. Crouch

PURSE RAISED
FOR UMPIRE
FITZPATRICK
FANS OF TWILIGHT LEAGUE
HAVE DECIDED TO PRESENT
PURSE TO UMPIRE WHO HAS
SERVED WHOLE SEASON AND
WHO HAS REFUSED TO ACCEPT
PAY FOR SERVICES.

Proving that baseball fans are
not altogether without appreciation,
although they appear at times to be
absolutely lacking in that virtue, the
fans who are in the habit of attending
the games played by the Twilight
League have started g. subscription
list for the purpose of raising a purse
to be donated to Umpire Joe Fitz-
patrick at the end of the present
Twilight season. This is very COM
mendable In the fans and not a few
OF them have already placed their
names en- the list and have agreed to
pay a certain amount toward making
up the purse.
Although the umpires Job is one
which is lodged by almost every SEN
sible man and Is one which has been
the butt Of many a joke, Joe Fitz-
patrick has stood steadily at his post
and has refused all offers of a salary
for calling the balls and strikes, al
though he has, no doubt, been inward
ly cursed many a time by many ball
player and many q fan. Yet, take ii
all in all, there never has been an UNI
pire In Pensacola who gave so univer-
sal satigfs ction as Joe Fitzpatrick
The directors of the league insisted
at the beoinning of the season that
Fitzpatrick be given a salary, but he
absolutely refused to accept it. There
fore his friends have decided that he
will be forced to accept a token of the
appreciation of his services.

R. c. MEGARGEL
!. PAYS VISIT TO
.DEMOPOL|S. ALA.
CITIZENS OF THAT TOWN THINK
THAT HE MAY INTEND TOUGH
ING THAT POINT ON ROUTE
FROM HERE TO JASPER, ALA.

Although it is not known what will
be the route of the proposed railroad
from this city to Jasper, Ala, some
light may be thrown on the subject by
the following special which appeared
IN the Montgomery Advertiser from
Demopolis, Ala, in which it is shown
that the railroad promoter was in that
city day or so ago, and was very
reticent as TO the object of his visit.
He left that city. according to the re-
port, for a trip through the surround
ing country, so that the natural sup
position is that he intends touching
either at Demopolis or near that point
on the route from this city to Jasper.
The dispatch in full is as follows:
Railroad gossip took on new life
this week as the result of a visit to
Demopolis, the first part of the week,
of Roy c. Megargel of New York, and
G.. A. Berry of Pensacola. Both men
registered at the Demopolis Inn.
THE railroad promoters arrived in
Demopolis at 12:45 o'clock. After
taking dinner at the Inn, they secured
team from a local livery stable to
drive to Greensboro. AS far as is
known, neither of the men conversed
with local citizens, and they main
tanned an air of secrecy and reserve.
''Mr. Megargel is a member of the
firm of Megargel and Company of New
York, which is promoting the building
of railroad from Pensacola to Jasper
I. c. Backs Line.
1T is the general impression that
this line is being backed by the Illinois
Central. The Illinois Central, for many
years has had it's eye on the southeast
and has sought an outlet in that di
rection.
1.-THE survey of the proposed line
passes through Demopolis. 1t is re-
ported that a force of twenty or TWEEN
ty-five engineers is working on the
survey of this line in south Marengo.
However this has not been verified
The survey projects the line through
Linden to Demopolis, and thence to
Greensboro.
1.-The brief and mysterious visit Of
Mr.. Megargel is considered significant
by many citizens"

JURY INSPECTS GAR.

After Brown concluded his testi-
mony, the jury followed by the crowd.
filed out to see the Beattie car. It
was the first time the jurymen had
seen the machine. They lifted UP its
upholstered seats, peered beneath the
gears and nosed around the steering
wheel, paying particular attention to a
portion of the car underneath the
wheel. The floor finally was removed
and one juryman stuck his head
through the opening to determine If
any blood could have tricked through.
Beattie followed the jurymen sharp
ly at every move. He assisted them in
prying open parts of the seats and
strolled confidently around the auto

Sheriff Gill was a bit lax in keeping
