seventy-ons years ago the New Workers OF that
period In walking along Front street would have
noted at No 1853 the sign OF the firm OF Battee
& Renwck who were at that time importers OF
whit. lead. window glass and chemicals.
To-day a passerby, IL a keen observer. can see
the old sign OF tho original firm nearly oblit-
Grated, but still ptccisey as it was seventy-one
years ago. There it is pointing out TO the con-
servative and thinking citizen the character OF tho
concern that transacts its business at No. 1873.
Many remarkable changes have taken place in
that part OF Front street since Bsttelle Rem
Wick first started business there. At that time
the locality was devoted almost entirely 10
wholesale srocers and chemical firms. The
character CT the locality has since taken on new
shape. Tobacco and oil houses have suppanted
the old firms referred to- and Battelle a Ren-
wick about the last survivors in that locality

Stopped at Principal Ports
$350,00O for Arkansas Pass.

Aransas Pass, May 12.-That Texas
will have number of the best har-
bors on the American sea coast is now
assured. In the old days. there was a
regular line of vessels which touched
at Point Isabel, near Brownsville, In.
dianola, the town which was swept
away by tidal wave in 1876, Corpus
Christi, Galveston and other coast
points. A line of steamers made regu-
lar stops at all of these places when
the commerce of the southwest Sec
ton of the state was carried on in
this way. Recently efforts were made
for deep water at Aransas Pass and
s350,000 appropriated by congress for
this purpose. 1t is now announced
that this sum is available and that
work on dredging the channel to a
depth of twenty feet will begin in a
.short time. Arkansas Pass looks for
ward to deep water within the next
eighteen months, and expects the great
ocean liners will be able to receive
and discharge freight at the wharf.

Gates Conspiracy on Part
of Packers.

(By Special Leased Wire to New a1exican)
Chicago, May 12-The demurrer OF
the Chicago packers in the beef trust
case was oyerruled today by Judge
Carpenter in the United States dis
trict court
In his ruling Judge Carpenter de
clared that the Sherman anti-trus
law, which had been attacked by the
packers, is constitutional. He also
held that the indictment charging J
Ogden Armour and other packers with
violating its provisions is valid
AS to the stability of the indict
ment, Judge Carpenter said:
Il do not see how the grand jury
could have made the charge definite
The whole plan, that of the pack
ers as alleged in the indictment, from
its inception appears plainly to be
one to eliminate competition as a fac
tor in fixing prices among the three
groups OF defendants, beginning with
/ the agreement not to bid against each
other and in fact to bid exactly the
same amounts for like grades of live
stock, fixing a uniform selling price
and ending with fixing a uniform price
OF sale and an apportionment among
| themselves OF the total business done
Il am of the opinion that the facts
stated in the indictments show clearl,
a plan or scheme organized and pu
in operation by the defendants, tn,
ultimate purpose of which was to con
! troll the production. sale, and distribu
tion of fresh meat throughout larg
section of this country, and as Incl
dental to that control to lower price
/ to producers of the raw material an,
raise prices to the consumer of tn
finished product. While the facts d
not disclose an absolute monopoly, We
the large percentage of the busines
which they control indicates that the
intend to acquire at least CONNER
cial monopoly

think the trial could be held befor

TEXAS HAS IT IN

Solid, Substantial Growth and Not In

Houston, Texas, May 12.-One of
the most hopeful things in CONNER
cial way that has transpired in Texas
during the past year is the effort of
real estate men to shake out those
commonly known as boomers" The
so-called boomer has been one of
the factors operating in Texas to the
disparagement of the country. These
men made any and all kinds of prom
ises and some of them used pictures
from other states in the south rep
resenting them as having been taken
on their alleged holdings. Some peo-
pie were induced to invest in these
schemes and as logical consequence
More than a year ago the legitimate
real estate interests of Texas. backed
by the bankers, started movement
to get rid of this class of promoters
pressed over the result. The sure
thingers" have been compelled to
take in their signs and abandon busi-
ness for lack OF bankers to finance
! their schemes. While there is plenty
! of money for all legitimate efforts and
this is easily obtained, the so-called
! "sucker-hunter" and financial plung-
er finds himself entirely out of busi-
ness. Today the real estate business
in Texas is on basis quite as substan-
tial as that in any other part Of the
country.

BY PRESIDENT TAFT
sordid Story Brought to Life Which
Indicates That This Man Was
Wrongfully Convicted.

Washington, May 12.-President
Taft, in granting executive clemepcy
to Daniel r. Jones, serving life sen,
tence for murder in Leavenworth pri.
son, brought to light sordid story
about pioneers life along the In.
dian territory frontier in the '70's.
Jones, after serving two-year sen,
tence in a Texas Jail, returned to the
then Indian territory to find his home
wrecked by his cousin, William. There
were recolciliations and the family
moyed to the wilderness along the
Red river. One night early in 1874
William Jones was shot and killed in
the cabin the family occupied.
A woman passing the night there
testified Williams wound was not
burned, as it would have been II he
had committed suicide, and upon
that evidence Daniel Jones was sen
fenced to be hanged. His sentence
was commuted to life imprisonment
In 1884 and President Roosevelt ir
1908 refused to pardon him.
When the case came to President
Taft, the undertaken who buried viii
liam Jones appeared and made aft
davit that Williams wound was badly
powder burned. The attorney-genera
recommended clemency. The presi
dent decided there was grave doub'
of Daniel Jones guilt and has freed
him.
Jones has served ~ years behint
