Each member of the publicity com
mittee was instructed TO extend a per
sonal invitation to at least 10 OF
his acquaintance and friends. as 1t
was pointed out that. no matter what
amount of publicity was given to the
fact that everybody IS invited, mum.
bers of people would not feel SO free
to come unless personal invitation
were extended them.
Several speeches were made by
those present, who numbered about 20.
Il was decided that the principal duty
of the committee was to make it clear
that the public of northern New Mex
leo is expected to be present and that
the reception is not a Las Vegas af
fair but that 1t is for everybody. The
committee decided 70 ask the school
teachers to tell their pupils that their
parents were invited. DR.. Frank H.
H. Roberts told the committee that
he Normal students were planning to
attend the reception in a body and
t is likely that the students of the
High School will do likewise.

OKLAHOMA CASE AGAINST HIM
ENEMIES HAVE BROUGHT UP HIS
DECISIONS IN NEGRO CASES
RECENTLY DECIDED.
NAGEL MAY GET The JOB
SECRETARY OF COMMERCE AND
LABOR is BEING SUPPORTED
BY WIcKERsHAM.

Washington, Feb 7.-Following an
hours session of the four lawyers in
President Taft's cabinet today it be-
came known that the proposed nom
ination of Judge William C. Hook,
OF Kansas, to the supreme court, had
been held up and probably would not
be sent to the senate today as Presi-
dent Taft had intended.
According to Kansans at the White
House today, the latest protests
against Judge Hook have grown out
of an Oklahoma case in which an at
tempt was made to 5ecure dining car
and sleeping car privileges for ne
groes. The United States court, Judge
Hook concurring, decided that it was
optional with the railroads to furnish
these cars for negroes. Representative
Anthony of Kansas, told President
Taft today that many negroes in his
state had withdrawn their protest
against Judge Hook. Although friends
of Judge Hook were not ready to ad-
NIT that the latest protests will pre-
ven this nomination. It was said the
president has opened up the whole
question again and that Secretary of
Commerce and Labor Nagel and Sen
ator Sutherland of Utah, are again
being considered. Mr.. Nagel was not
present at the cabinet meehng-today.
1t is well known that he has strong
advocate in Attorney General Wicker
sham and other members of the pres
idents official family.

AMICABLY

Berlin, Feb. emperor William at
noon today opened the reichstag, the
thirteenth assembled since the foun-
dation of the German empire. AS GUS
tomary, instead of going to the i'm
perial parliament the emperor called
the members to the palace where he
made his speech from the throne in
the great white hail. The deputies
present were for the most part in uai-
form or court dress and the scene
was a brilliant one.
The main note of the speech was the
demand for additions to the military
and naval forces which are consider
ed necessary in the present interna-
tional situation. There was partial
disappointment, however, as the en-
peror merely announced the measures
in. a general way and did not give any
details.
He said: For the success OF our
work of peace at home and over seas
the empire must remain powerful
enough e defend e sll tiuez IL ma
tionnI honor ana Its possessions -
well as its just interests in the world.
It is therefore my constant duty and
care to maintain and strengthen, both
on land and on sea, the defensive
power of the German people, Which
does not lack young men capable of
bearing arms. With this end in view
plans for an increase in strength
are in preparation and will be submit
ted to you together with proposals for
covering the additional cost. In help

our agreement with France
we have given new proof of our readL
ness to settle international difficult
ties amicably whenever such course
is consonant with the dignity and liz
terests of Germany.
Side by side with the maintenance
of our alliance with AustriarHungary
and Italy my policy hos been steadily
directed toward the cultivation OF
friendly relations with all the powers
on the basis of mutual respect and
good will.
Trusting in the healthy force of
the German people and relying on
Gods gracious assistance. look with
confidence beyond the struggles of
today to the future of the empire.

of Rock Island train No. 43 near Hurl
burt, Ark, early today and made
away with their booty long befor,
an alarm was spread and the posses
could seek their trail At noon it was
reported money consigned to bank
in Oklahoma, estimated at between
100000 and $4,000, had been taken
from the express car by the robbers.
No arrests were reported.
The hold up was so cleverly plan
ned and executed with such precision
that none of the train employees could
offer resistance and few of the pass
engers knew anything had happened
until they awobe to find their train
stalled. The value of the plunder the
robbers got has not been determined.
They ransacked the postal car, blast
ed the Wells Fargo Express COM
pany's safe, apparently overlooking
nothing that might add to their profit.
This was the second hold up near
Hurlburt within the last four months
The train left Memphis about mid
night. After it cleared the western
terminus of the Mississippi river
bridge it was boarded by two mask
ed men. They climbed over the ten
der and covered the engine crew with
guns. Then the train was halted.
The engineer was bound and gagged,
then kicked off itno a ditch. The fire.
man ran the train on several miles
until told to halt at camp fire along
side the track where three other ban
dts waited. Here the baggage and
mail cars were detached from the
passenger coaches and before any of
the train crew knew what was hap
penning, the locomotive with its light
load was hurrying farther into the
country.
While one of the bandits held a gun
over the fireman, the remaining four
of the band clambered into the ex.
press and mail coaches and covered
the messengers and clerks. The en-.
gine with the two cars proceeded to
a point mile east of Hurlburt, Ark.
then the robbers ransacked the posta1
car, blew open the safe, gathered
plunder and fled. They had obtained
their plumber and fled. They had ob
tained good start long before an
alarm could be given, the telegraph
wires into Memphis had been cut, The
first information of danger to the
train came to employees of the Rocl
Island road at the western terminu.
of the Mississippi bridge. They heart

SOME WANT HIM 10
RUN FOR GOVERNOR
MAY co At TER PATTERSON
If Nominated and Elected Frazier
will not be Candidate for Sen
atorial Honors Later.

Nashville, June 4.-GoVernor Benton
McMiIlin will decide soon whether he
will be a candidate for governor or the
senate.
Governor McMillin, when asked for
his announcement, stated that he " as
trying his best to make up his mind,
and that just as soon as he had deter
mined he would not lose any time in
acquainting the people of the state of
his intentions.
The friends of Governor Patterson
are trying to get Governor McMillin to
stay out OF the senatorial race because
they realize that there's growing SEN
timent among the democrats of the
state that Governor McMillin should
be rewarded for the splendid work he
has done in the interest of his party,
and that he has better claim upon the
masses than Governor Patterson. In
fact, there are many democrats who
maintain that Governor Patterson s en-
try into the senatorial fight was made
arbitrarily and against the advice of
some of his warm friends.
On the other hand, the friends of ex-
Senator Frazier and of the other can
didates for governor are trying to bring
the necessary influence to bear upon
Governor McMillin to get him to run
for the senate, knowing that he would
be formidable opponent in the guber-
material race. They are telling him
that his friends over the state will be
for him IN whichever race he may enter
and that as the senate is considered
the crater honor that he might as we'll
be senator as governor.
The consensus of oppinion, however,
seems to be that Governor McMilin
will announce for governor, although
Governor McMillin says, "The other
fellows seem to know more about it
than | do. l have not fully made up
my mind"
Answering charges that he wants to
be governor to go to the senate, ex-
Governor Frazier says in part:
81 desire to say, therefore, once for
all that if nominated and elected gov
ernor | will not be candidate for sen.
ator before the legislature or otherwise
and that | will serve the people of Ten
nessee as governor for the next two
years in an earnest effort to bring about
peace, encourage business and stimu.
late prosperity in the state"
1t is understood that Frazier will
arrive in Nashville during the week
and open headquarters at the Max well
