Midland, Tex, Judge Whips Man Who
Called Him a Liar.

Midland, Tex.-Judge j. H. Knowles
OF the commissioners court laid aside his
official dignity long enough to hold a
fistic battle. During the session Judge
Knowles made an assertion regarding a
previous ruling of the court. Inasmucb
as the commissioners court is a county
tribunal of considerable Importance in
the county, its members, the county
commissioner are gentlemen of much
prestige, comments Oh various rulings
are not to be lightly made, even by the
presiding justice. So thought Commits,

sooner than had the offending remark
been made than he rose and exclaimed:
You are a liar, judged"

Then it happened. Those who wit.
the fight say the judge scored the

hUnLu INTEREST
IN KNOCKS TRIP
AMERICAN EXPECTED TO RESTORE
PEACE IN LATIN AMERICA.
America for Acknowledgment Pow.
ers, However, Want Interests
Protected.

Observation-Disclosures significance
attaches to the visit soon to be made
by Secretary Knox, at the direction OF
President Taft, to the countries border,
ing on the Caribbean sea.
European diplomats, recalling a re-
cent speech of Mr.. Knox before the New
York State Bar Association on the Mon
roes doctrine, look upon the proposed
trip with more than a passive interest.
That speech is now being interpreted as
the latest notice given by the United
States, that the principle of America
for Americans must be observed.
Central lean diplomats were
unanimous III their statements that the
secretary's visit not only would allay
internal doubt as to the attitude of the
United States government toward their
countries, but would warn off possible
Entertainments of nations in the other
hemisphere.
The present state of unrest in many
Latln-American countries, the efforts of
the state department to maintain neu-
trallty as between the republics of the
south, and its endeavors to unravel their
financial tangles have proceeded, it is
not without the potential influ-
ence of world powers.
Particular attention was drawn by a
number of diplomats, discussing the
vide circulation now being given to Sec
'etary knox's speech, to those portions
n which he advocated the immediate
of the loan conventions with
Nicaragua and Honduras, now pending
II the United States senate. 1t was
'olnted out that Mr.. Knox had urged
heir passage because of the ~ever-increas-
ne political reason of avoiding the dam
er OF European ENHANCEMENT in the
fairs of the countries surrounding the
aribbean.
1t was pointed out that the adopted
olicy of the United States-to bolster
p those countries in trouble on this
emisphere-had in a measure been a
'%nsequence of the pressure from Eu-
'pean countries. To prevent interior
in countries where European finan.
interests have suffered losses through
le volatile and incompetent administra-
ons OF Central American politicians,
Ie United States has taken a decided
and, though not without meeting the
'prehensive scrutiny of political par
in some of the republics.
1t is understood that aside from the
oral effect that Secretary Knox's visit
ay have in removing suspicious of an
nerican territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT, the
ads of the various Central American
untries will receive a personal e~xplana-

Mr.. Hunter says:
During 1911 the boil wceyil was
