Times Democrat
Unreliably Informed.

In its issue OF Sunday, tn 19. our
esteemed friend, the New Orleans Times
Democrat. published the political opinion
of a citizen from the parish of St. Charles
whose name is not revealed. Mr.aPlanter,
as the informant of the big daily styles
himself, declares tnat Hall W carry
the parishes of Jefferson no Charles
and St. John by handstS p majority.
This representation is totally at
variance with existing political conditions
in the three parishes enumerated.
In Jefferson and St. Charles parishes,
we have reason to believe that Mr..
Michel will receive handsome majority.
Here in st. John we positively assert
that he will poll the largest percentage

President Taft Signs Measure Admit
tlno Arizona and New Mexico.

v
ting Arizona and New Mexico.
Washington, Aug. 22.-President
Taft signed the joint resolution adj
hitting the territories OF New Mexico
and Arizona to the union, which was
passed by congress after his veto OF
the first statehood measure.
Under the terms Of the joint reso-
ltlon It is still necessary for the voters
d Arizona to eliminate the recall OF
the judiciary provision from their con-
stitutlon before statehood can be
granted. New Mexico will come into
union practically automatically after
an election has been held for the Sc
lection of state officers and represen-
tatives in congress. At this election
votes will also be cast upon several
amendments 10 the constitution which
are suggested by congress. II is not,
however. mandatory that New Mexico
accept the amendments.
In the case of Arizona, at the same
time that the voters select their state
and national representatives they
must vote on the recall OF the judi
cIary provision. II they vote against
this the president will Issue his for
NAL proclamation announcing the ad-
mission of the territory to the union,
and the officers elected will then be-
come eligible for Office. II. however,
recall is not stricken from the con-
stltution by this vote the election for
the officers is void and Arizona re-
mains a territory.

GIVES HIS NAME AS II. SMITH
Apprehension Of Stranger to the
Town Opens Up New. Theory
In Investigation Into the
Lynching of Walker.
GIVES HIS NAME AS H. SMITH

CoatesvIlle, Pa, Aug. 22.-The ar
rest here of man who gave his
name as IL. Smith is considered one
OF the most important that has yet
been made in connection with the
lynching on Aug. 10 of Zack Walker,
the colored slayer Of Policeman Ed
gar Rice.
Smith is about thirty years old,
well dressed and heavy set, and he
refused absolutely to answer any ques-
lions when he was before the probers
and even tried to resist the officer
when he was placed under arrest. He
is not known here. but said that he
came from Philadelphia.
When pressed for some information
as to just what The probers have
against Smith. District Attorney Cav
throp would say little more than that
the charge against him is murder, but
the highly elated condition Of that
official as he left the investigation
chamber bore evidence that he thinks
the results have been most crafty
ing.
We have got it dead against this
man." said Mr. Gawthrop, but | can
not tell you at this time just what he
did.
About all that can say" he con-
tinued, lis that he was arrested on a
description. | do not think II policy
at this time to say from whom we
got the description It was from some
one here In Coatesyille. though. He
SAYS his name is II. Smith and that
he comes from Philadelphia, but am
not sure he is telling the truth Other
than this he would answer absolutely
no questions
The entire investigation after the
capture Of Smith seemed to focus in
him. 1t was about evening when II
was finally announced by District At
torney Gawthrop that Smith would be
placed under arrest. He was led
down the steps sfrom the investiga-
ton chamber by Chief Umsted. and
when he got to the bottom the chief
attempted to place the shackles upon
him. He Immediately began TO ex-
postulate with the officer and showed
his wonderful nerve.
81 demand hearing before a
squire" he roared. The district at
torney has not right to lock me up
without a hearing He hasn't proved
anything against me, and he can't.
What do you take me for, a poor kid
that can't take his own part?"
The chief snapped the handouts on
him with little difficulty, and for a
minute he seemed to lose his nerve.
When il was time to take the car for
West Chester he declared he could
not walk and would have 10 be car
ried. He offered some resistance all
the way to the car. and before he
could be loaded aboard several hun
dred people gathered around. Bor-
ough Officer Branson and one Of the
state constables accompanied him to
West Chester, where he was commit
ted to jail on a warrant sworn out be-
fore Square Paxson.
Smith is a Incorporating fellow.
Tie has light curly hair and his dress,
while not especially elaborate, shows
much taste. He does not give the
appearance of being engaged in Ia
borious work.
