IGNORE DEMANDS
 OF UNITED STATES
Mexicans Who Killed U. s. Official ln Mexico Given Fl Day
 Punishment.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The net re. suit of all the imperative demands by Secretary of State Bryan and President Wilson that the murders of American citizens in Mexico be speedily punished, is that one case has been tried and that the Mexicans charged with the murder were sen- teaced to jail for twenty-one days. The punishment for stealing eggs is twenty-six days.
 This extraordinady punishment was awarded by the Mexican court in the case of a band of Mexicans who shot United States Commissioner of Immigration Dixon at Ell Paso. on the Mexican side.
 It is stated by minor official today at the State Department that the Mexican governments action in the case of Commissioner Dixon, g United States official. is so ridiculous and contemptous that this govern ment, as soon as the facts become public, will be obliged to make another protest to the Mexican gov- ernment.

MAX NORDAU ON
 Rl!SSIA'S |NFAMY Declares Beleis Case is Dis- grace to Civilization and
 Judicial Free. HE SUFFERS AS A MAN Russia Not Deserving of Recognition By Civilized Nations of
 the World.
HE SUFFERS AS A MAN
(By MAX .NORDAUD

London. Oct. 27.--I am unable to adequately express my indignation over the present situation in Rus. sia. This is probably the first time in history that the government of an empire of 160,000.000 subjects has deliberately employed it's whole machinery to put up an infamous ju- dicial farce with the object of dis honoring a people numbering 12,000,- GOO souls.
 TLc Russian government knows that Beiliss is innocent, and also knows who are the assassins of poor little Yushinsky, but it has kept Beiliss two years in prison without. bringing the case forward, has per- secuted. ruined and imprisoned wit- nesses who pointed out the head cul- prits and has harassed and punished the defenders of Beiliss.
 Professor Skorski, whom tho government has consulted about the caae, vas long ago recognized as ignorant and incompetent by all legal au. critics and the rest of Europe. The government has made use of th1 denunciation of the fanatical priez., Paaaitis, who quoted books which ,-, not exist, ana refused the defense permission to summon him as a wit- ness and make him produce tho books from which he quoted.
 The government has tried to ex- clude the public from the trial and even to prevent verbatim report being taken of the proceedings.
 Witnesses declare the police taught them what to repeat before the jury and threatened thme with all kinds of punislklent if they told the truth. Thus the government hopes to obtain judgement declaring the jews as a nation assassins who are instructed by the religion to drink the blood of slaughtered children of Christians so that it may have pretext for the massacre of as may jews as pos- sible.
 I am not indignant as a Jew, foE the Russian government infamies cannot touch the honor of my race, but I suffer unspeakable shame as 8 civilized man to see in the Twentieth century a so-called christian. govern ment able to commit such a crime, while the other powers continue to treat it as an equal.
 The cynicism and hypocricy of these infamous official criminals and their impudent affront to civiliz- ed humanity are really the desper- ate characteristics of the Beiliss case, which will be recorded in hiss tory as the darkest plot of our time.

statement of August il that he had an account with Fuller and Gray or Boy CT and Griswold and says he never heard of these firms until their names were brought out at the FraWley in quiry. The stock matter with Harris and Fuller, he says, was not spec ulative account, but loan account made upon stocks as collateral, which stocks had been acquired and paid for years before his nomination for gov ernor. Certain checks given him dur ing the campaign were deposited to his personal account and thereafter the amounts were paid over to the campaign committed
 As to the filing of his statement of receipts and disbursements with the secretary of state, the governor says he acted on information given him by the person in immediate charge of his campaign, and believed these state- ments true and accurate at that time.
 Continuing, eX-Governor Sulzer says: "My trial from beginning to end as far as the Tammanyized part of the court was concerned, was a farce, a political lynching, the consummation of a deep laid conspiracy to oust me from office. I am glad it is all over. I am tired of being caluminated, tired of being hunted and bounded, tired of trying to do my duty and being tra- duced.
 "The court ruled in everything against me and ruled out everything in my favor. The we'll settled rules of evidence were thrown to the winds. A horse thief in frontier days would have received squarer deal.
 "Mr. Murphy controlled the as- sembly and ordered the impeach- ment. He controlled most of the members of the court and dictated it's procedure and wrote the judgment. He was the judge and the jury, the prosecutor and the bailiff.
 "The meetings of the court were in secret and behind closed doros. It was star chamber proceeding, where the enemies of the state could work for my conviction undiscovered.
 'They call it the high court of inn peachment, but history will call it 'Murphys high court of infamy.' The trial was human shamble, libel on law, fragrant abuse of constitutional right, disgrace to our civilization and the verdict overturned the safe guards of liberty and the precedent of three countries. The judgment will not stand the test of time. The fu- ture historian will do me justice ana posterity will reverse the findings of the court"

Agricultural Schools iomDctc for PrizcS.-More Exhibitors Ar-
 rived Friday.

The Jefferson County Stock Show and Fair enjoyed a good attendance yesterday afternoon and night, despite the indictment weather a large number of visitors from other cities being here. Work has gone steadily for ward ill the various departments in preparation for the crowds, but owing to the late arrival of trains, the loss of time was hard to regain, and all day yesterday men were at work fin ishng up detail work, to the end that the show might be complete and in full operation today. Several exhibit OTIS of live stock, who have been at other county fairs in the state, found it impossible to get here in time for opening day. some of whom came in yesterday and placed their animals in the show. The wet weather of the past several weeks has had it's effect on the agricultural exhibits as well these be fewer than last year.
 Today will be "School Chldren's Day" and every white student of the schools will be admitted free to the grounds, and it is expected that 1,500 or 2,000 will take advantage of this generous offer of the management.
 About fifty of the 100 students of Watson Chapel school, accompanied by Prof. J. K. Dial, attended the Fair yesterday. Owing to the bad weather the primary students did not attend This school has nice exhibit of drawings and agricultural eXperi- ments in the booth at the grounds. while a number of the student body are members of the Watson Chapel canning club, who, in connection with other clubs in the county, have very creditable exhibit of canned fruits and vegetables, preserves, pickles, etc., in charge of Mrs. Elizabeth Adams
 The stock judging teams from the agricultural schools at .]onesboro, Monticello, Magnolia and Russellville begun a competitive judging contest on the animals on exhibition yester- day morning. Each team consists of five students, accompanied by their teacher in animal husbandry and 8 member of the faculty from each of the schools. They are competing for a beautiful silver trophy cup for best judging and silver loving cup for second, third and fourth prizes. The following are teachers and members of the teams now here:
 First District, Jonesboro-V. c. Rays, principal; Geo. R. Ely, teacher of animal husbandry; H. Vicry Charles Whitaker, David Banks, Ed Parham, Floyd Marryott
 Second District, Russellville--H. H. Holzclaw, teacher of animal husband ry; Paul Pettigrew, Charles Roys John Longley. Roy Davis and Sherrill Cassell, members of the team.
 Third District, Magnolia-J. E Moses, teacher animal husbandry; D. J. Burleson, member of faculty; Les lie Huddleston; J. M. Pickett, Waldo Andrews, Madison Loe and Herbert Graham, members of the team.
 Fourth District, Monticello-J. M Wilson, Robert Shaw, Floyd TillOry H. Martin, C.. Taylor, c. Harth.
 The judging contest, participated in by every member of the four teams, brought out the fact that much good work was being accom-
