Many Border Towns Send Messages to

Fl Paso, Texas, Aug. l.-Scores of messages are being sent from Fl Paso and other border towns along the Mexican line applying to the United States to take some step, which will secure protection for Americans in Mexico.
 In many instances messages are be- ing sent by whole communities, as in the case of one from Maria yester- day addressed to Cong essman W. R. Smith. The message said:
 If the United States can not han- dle the Mexican situation, let Pre- sidio county handle it"
 The messages are, in most cases, sent to congressman and senators, but some have been directed to the White House.

RAILROADS VS. THE PEOPLE.
< + < * + < + < + * + + * I

It is dlscouraglng to see the two railroads which constitute the rail- road monopoly of Jefferson county working to continue to shut out com
 letition and the construction of com
 peting lines Of railroad into Pine Bluff.
 The unfortunate condition which our people afe contending with now in his county existed in Little Rock up until about fifteen years ago The Goulds had complete monopoly in that city for many years, progress and growth was shackled and held fast in the grip of the Iron Mountain monopoly but the citizens declared theiF independence and broke the chains which had bound them and succeeded in getting the Rock Island, a competing line. After the construc- ticn of this road Little Rock began to grew and her growth and prosperity is matter of pride 10 every citizen of the State.
 The trusts and monopolies of this nation are the peoples greatest ene- mics There is no trust so detrimen- tai to the interests of the people as the railroad trust, because in the pur- chasing of the necessaries of life we must pay tribute to the railroad trust in the way of freight rates. They arc also dangerous because their wealth enables them to get undue ad- vantage in their contests with the peo- pie when they attempt to combat op- pression or break down their combi- nations. When you seek justice at tfaeir hands they will fly into the oo,1rts for an iniunctiOn, the deadly enemy of the working people of Am erica, and too often they find judicial favor to hide behind to further their oppression. The railroads of Jeffer- son county have now declared open war against the.s construction of the Free Bridge and the erection of coni- peting line of railroad into this coun- tv. It looks as though the fight for a Free Bridge and competing line of railload would now be settled but for

OF INTERSTATE
 INTERURBANS.
[The TradeSman1


 That the system of interurban elec- tric railways which the Duke inter- ests are now engaged in building throughout the Piedmont section of the Carolinas is but the seed of a great system that will rival the troll ley systems of the middle west, eX- tending north into Virginia and south into Georgia, with Atlanta as the southern terminus, is indicated by contracts just let for the completion of stretches of road in South Cafo- lima.
 The plans of She Piedmont and Northern lines for extension north from Charlotte and Greensboro, Dur ham and Raleigh in North Carolina have been known for some time. With these extensions it is considered that the road will have gained such size and importance that Greenwood, s. C., the' prospective terminus accord- ing to present plans, would not be selected as the permanent terminus.
 It is predicted that the Duke inter- ests will then push on into Georgia cooperating, possibly, with the Geor- gia hydro-electric interests which are developing Tallulah Falls, and make Atlanta it's southern stopping point.
 The eXtl eme efficiency that assures the development is the fact tEat the same interests that are pushing the railway are engaged in giant, hydro- electric enterprises all along the route the railway will take, furnishing pow CT throughout the system with mini mum expense due to loss.
 One of the most important con- alterations to the rapid extension of the lines is the correlation of inter- ests that the railway will institute in the promotion of manufacturing en- terprises through the inducement Of cheap powero and cheap facilities for transportation.
 It is interesting to note in this con nection that by extending one of the lines suggested in The Tradesman of July 9, out of Chattanooga to Duck town and Murphy, and also on 10 Dahlonega and Gainesville. the last link would be filled uniting two large systems and admitting the passage of persons and parcels from Guntersvllle or Nashville, Tenn, to Raleigh, N. c.

SLAYER CAPTURED
IN 25-M|LE CHASE
Fugitive Leads Pursuing Party
Over toughest Roads of
Passaic County.

PATERSON, Oct. 12.-After lead
ing a large search party a merry
chase all yesterday afternoon, Ra-
faele Barone, was captured al Ster-
ling Forest, near here late yesterday,
seven hours after he shot and killed
Antonio Fflenos at Bloomingdale.
The chase led over twenty-five
miles of Passaic county roads. The
pursuing party consisted of several
detectives, several city officials Of
Paterson and a number of farmers
who were picked up on the road.
Many dropped by the wayside, get
ting lost in the wild Passaic country,
and after the chase was over it was
almost as difficult rounding up all
the members of the pursuing party
Is it had been to find the fugitive.
The tragedy came as the result of
a quarrel of long standing between
the two men, who were fellow labor
ers. While preparing for work yes
terday morning Barone, becoming en-
ragged by Fileno's taunts, drew a re-
volver and shot him dead.

TIGHT SKIRTS CAUSE OF
MILLION DOLLAR FAILURE

NEW YORK, Oct, 12.-An invol-

filed in the United States Court yes
terday against the Jackson-Mack
Company, makers of silk p~etticoats
and kimonos at No. 119 West Twenty
third street. The liabilities of the
firm are placed at 81. 900, 900 with
500, 900 in unsecured debts and nom
inal assets of $500, 900.
The concern turns out about 5000
skirts a day and the business was
figured at about 81, 900, 900 a year.
Jackson was popularity known as the
silk petticoat king of America, and
there was smooth sailing for them
until the present style of tight dresses
came in vogue, making the demand
for petticoats small.

TAFT HAS METHOD
TO CUT FOOD COST
President Would Create Sys-

Those in Europe.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-When
the congress of governors eonvenes
in Washington in December Presi-
dent Taft will lay before that body
recommendations for the adoption by
all the States of a uniform law ere
ating and establishing land. mort
gage banks similar to those in Ger
many and France for the purpose
of furnishing the American farmer
with an extensive credit system.
The President has sent from Bev-
erly to the governor of each State a
letter calling attention to the work
Ambassador Herrick at Paris has
done in connection with finding a
system of land mortgage banks suit
able for adoption in the United
States.
President Taft proposes to reduce
the cost of foodstuffs on the Ameri-
can dinner table by reducing the cosl
to the farmer of producing his crops.
This would be done by establishing
in the interest of the farmer a finan-
cial machine which would give him
access to all the money centres of the
world and afford him credit at great
ly reduced rates and upon more adj
vantageous terms than he nov re-
ceives. The complete development of
our agricultural which this
would make possible, thinks Presi-
dent Taft. would go a long way
toward settling the problem of the
high cost of living.
what this plan Offers" writes
President Taft, lis a means to secure
in this country greater productivity
at less cost, from the farms that are
now under cultivation. and above all,
to give us more farms and more
farmers"

SHOOTER OF GIRL GETS
TERM IN STATE PRISON

French, who pleaded guilty to assault
with intent to kill Annie Laurie
Swartz In Hoboken last August, was
sentenced by Common Pleas Justice
Carey to serve not more than twelve
years and not less than three years
in the State prison.
According to the woman's story,
French had prosecuted her with his
attentions until, to escape him, she
left Manhattan and went to Hoboken
to live with a sister. He called at
the house one evening. AS he was
leaving he extended what Annie
Swartz thought was his hand in fare
well. He held a revolver in the ex-
tended hand and with 1t shot the
woman in the shoulder.
