REMARKABLE DEVELOP MENT
 OF RICH SOUTHWEST
Many New Towns Spring Up Along F the M., o. & G. in OklahOma-ken-
 click the Best and Busiest.

The greatest proof of the ascendancy of the southwest and its gradual but sure recognition as the country's bulwark, productively is furnished by recent rail- road developments. During the past 10 years three railroads, respectively, the Kansas City Southern, the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient and the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf projected at Kansas City and with ultimate terminuses at the gulf, have laid more miles of road than have ever been laid during similar pe- riod in the United States. Perhaps the most ambitious of these three railroads. with greatest scope of operations, and penetrating the richest country is the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf.
 William Kenefick, protector and builder of the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf started operations five years ago. The financial barons of Wall street secuted the idea of another road to the Gulf of Mexico, saying the field was already covered. They viewed the venture with askance. Kenefick, however, both saw the opportunity and knew the outcome. To finance his railroad he went to France. He returned accompanied by Count Achile Adam, chairman of the advisory board of large bank of Paris, France. with whom he made a trip over the country to be traversed. Count Adam was favorably impressed with the won derful undeveloped resources of the coun- try he inspected, made a favorable re- port to his board of directors and the road was financed.
 Following the operations of the Mis- souri, Oklahoma and Gulf railroad along its present construction from Muskogee to Denison, wonderful changes have oc- cured virgin country vast in min eral and agricultural wealth, was made accessible to markets and factory marts. Many fine new towns have sprung up, the newest and best of which is Kenefick. named after the builder of the road. Ken click is little more than one year oli and the busiest baby in the state. It Is substantial illustration of Oklahoma In its everyday life it radi- ates both the splendid confidence of tho man after whom 1t was named and the superb optimism possessed by every Ok citizen, however humble or opu- lent. The town of Kenenck Is owned by George H. Lowerre, Jr., of Muskogee, son-in-law of William Kenefick.

that Dr. Francis Vasquez Gomez, minister of public instruction, has been using federal telegraph lines in furtherance of a revolu- tionary plot, have been made to Minister of Communications Ma nuel Bonilla. But, according to the latter, no evidence has been presented to sustain these charges and the matter is not considered seriously by the authorities. Min. ster Bonilla explained that, un- der the law, the president and members of the cabinet are allowed free use of the federal telegraph lines, not only for the business of their respective offices, but to at- tend to their private business as we'll. More than this 1t Is the duty of all telegraph operators on the federal lines to present to the proper authorities messages which they may consider as of criminal nature. No such messages have been presented, according to the minister.
 Mexican Herald: Preparations have already begun for the celebra- tion in connection with the inaug- uration of Francisco l. Madero, president elect, and Jose Maria Pino Suarez, who has been chosen vice. president. While the date of inauguration has not been fixed with absolute accuracy, it is the concensus of opinion that Novem. Der 20 will be the day selected. While the plan has not been outlin- ed definitely, tentative arrang- mcnts have already been made for number of pOlitical clubs to unite with local clubs in a civic demon stration in this capital. Revolu- tionists who fought with Madero are also planning for a parade and posters have been pasted at street corners about the city asking all former revolutionary soldiers to enlist at fla Calle de Donceles Nos. 9 and 10 where a register is being kept of the names of those who desire to take part. No amour cement has yet been made of the purely official program for the occasion.
 Mexican Herald: Lie. Manuel Castelazo Fuente, solicitor general of the nation, while admitting yes terday that he had under consider ation certain charges which had been made against Leopoldo Batres, conservator of archaeological monu- ments under President Diaz, de- clined to discuss the charges in de- tail. He declared that certain charges had come to his hands from the department of public in- struction but that he had not yet had time to study the documents in the case. "If Mir. Batres is guilty, he will have to stand trial in Mexico no matter to what part of the world he may have gone" " declared the solicitor general yes terday. Francisco M. Rodriguez, MT. Batres' Successor, was reluct- ant to discuss the charge. He ad- mitted however, that the manner in which his predecessor in office had arranged with the property holders damaged through the work done at the pyramid of the Sun tt San Juan Teotihucan would be investigated. He also declared that if was alleped that MT. Batres

fit and had installed restraunt at the foot of the pyramid which he managed for personal gain. The road was built for the purpose of transportating weighty archeologi- cal objects found at the great pyra- mid from the pyramid to the rail- way station, as many such were brought to Mexico City and placed in the Nationll Museum.
 Mexican Herald: The authori- ties of Quintana Roo, when their attention was called to the fact that 223 electoral votes for Pino Suarez from a territory which on population was entitled to grand total of twenty four, was a trihe large, revised their former figures in telegram to the department of gobernacion yesterday and report ed that five electoral votes had been cast, all for Pino Suarez. Minister of Gobernacion Garcia Granados, when the original re. port was received, sent a telegram to Quintana Roo asking for revision of the count as the terri tory has but l2,000 inhabitants and on the basis of one vote for each 300 inha bitants, Is untitled to but twenty-four electoral votes. In view of the second telegram re- porting only five votes. Minister Garcia Granados is convinced that he has received only partial re- turns and the departments will probably ask for further report. According to an unofficial report received yesterday, President de la Barra received over 106 electoral votes in the electoral college which met at Alapa, Guerrero. Accord ing the same telegram, Pino Suarez received only three votes.
 Mexican Herald: According to telegrams received yesterday by the secretary of the Federal Dis trict, prosecutions for political req sons are continuing in Chiapas despite the fact that peace has been signed between the contend ing political parties there. The dispatches claim that Aureliano and FelicianO Rivera, brothers of one of the candidates for governor, have been among those who have suffered particular persecution. It is also alleged that the amnesty promise made to those who took part in the recent revolt has been broken, and that many of the pardoned revolutionists are being thrown into prison. For this req son, it is claimed. :he people of the state have little confidence in the government. The Rivera brothers declare that as they were being persecuted in Comitan, they went to San Cristobal de las Casas, where they were followed still fur ther by a large army party. After searching all the hotels, this party searched several private homes in an effort to find the two men. The secretary of the Federal District has carried the matter to the presi- dent.

WORKED TO PAY FINE.
Sent Money to Court Officials After
Being Fugitive Four Years.

Sent Money to Court Officials After
Being Fugitive Four Years.
- Four years ago Alex Maxwell, a
negro, was tried and convicted in
the criminal court at Beaufort, S. c.,
of assault and battery with intent to
kill. His fine was $500. Maxwell
being unable to raise this amount
was put in jail. Being a powerful
negro he was locked in what was con-
sidered the strongest cell. He broke
through the bars, escaped, and has
never been caught.
Several days ago a negro woman
appeared at the court house and paid
Maxwell's fine of $500. She said she
is Maxwell's wife. that he is working
near Charleston, had saved this mon
ey and sent it to her to pay the
fine.
