Over the bedroom door of the hotel
suite occupied by Vice Pres. Thomas
Riley Marshall Is a horseshoe-Or
rather THE horseshoe. 1t is the vice
presidents favorite horseshoe, and he
never goes to bed without glancing up
to see if it still in place. Some we'll
meaning persons hold the opinion that
a horseshoe, while a good thing to
bring luck. is more in place either on
the foot of a horse, or else nailed over
the door of a stable. rather than at
tached to the door jamb of a high
priced suite in a hotel.
Such a view might apply in some in
stances, but most certainly il does not
fit the case of Thomas r. Marshall,
because this particular horseshoe has
been the making Of him, and he would
be an migrate indeed if he did not &C
cord it a prominent place in his living
quarters. 1t used TO be nailed up over
his bedroom door in his Indianapolis
home. and it will be put back there
when he goes home again.
If II hadn't been for this horseshoe
Thomas r. Marshall would still be an
obscure country lawyer back in Indi-
ana, entirely surrounded by novelists.
He was on his way to the conven-
ton at which he was nominated for
governor of Indiana when an old col
cred man who had at heart his coun-
try's good, stopped Marshall and
handed him the horseshoe.
Believing, as he does, in signs and
omens and goOd-luck methods, Mar
shall eagerly seized the horseshoe and
held II in his hands all during the
ballotting. He was nominated gov
ernor. and except for the horseshoe he
wouldn't have lac the slightest show.
The horseshoe and nothing else did 1t.
So all during the campaign when he
was dashing about making speeches,
Marshall carried the horseshoe in his
grin ND in his nightie. That
enabled him to be elected governor.
And throughout the big campaign
Of a year ago. Marshall kept his
horseshoe close at hand. You would
have a difficult time convincing him
that il didn't play its part.

STATESMEN, REAL
AND NEAR.
BY FRED g. KELLY.
BY FRED @. KELLY.

B1 FRED &.
WASHINGTON.ZSen Thomas Of
Colorado is a person who has never
been needlessly hampered by too strict
adherence TO convention. He does
things in his own way. For instance.
he wears a neat gray wig in the Win
ter time. but lays IL off with the COM
ing Of the first spring days, along with
his high shoes and winter underwear.
When he came to the senate last year
he made a long speech almost as soon
as ne had been assigned to a seat
regardless OF custom to the contrary.
Always he goes ahead by whatever
route occurs to him. Others can go
some other way if they wish to. 1t
was the same way when he was a
criminal lawyer out IN Colorado some
years ago.
Thomas MAS one OF the most re-
sourceful criminal lawyers in the west.
If he couldn't get a fellow out Of Jail
by alibi. habeaS corpus, or some other
such conventional means, he would
think up some other way. This made
him a mighty desirable attorney for
murderers and such people. Many a
bright young murderer had his career
spoiled and died suddenly from hang
ing, simply because he lacked the fore
sight to employ Thomas for his attor-
ney.
In one case Thomas appeared for a
man accused of numbering a promi-
nent citizen, who had received a bullet
wound under the shoulder blade. The
question was whether the man had
been murdered or committed suicide.
Thomas took an optimistic view of the
situation and advanced many theories
TO show the jury that it was a case of
suicide.
But the prosecuting attorney ask
ed: How could il have been suicide
when il is physically impossible for a
man to point a gun at such an angle
against his own back? Men aren't
built with long enough arms"
Jaw, shucksi" declared Thomas at
that point. and he picked up the re-
volver, which comprised exhibit A, and
with his long right arm, pointed the
barrel in the very manner the prose-
cutor said couldn't be don
That won the case for Thomas, and
the murderer went his way rejoicing.
But" suggested one of Thomas
friends after ii was all over. "the muir
dered man had short arms and you
have unusually long arms. l doubt if
he could have pointed the gun the
way you did"
-
IT was Thomas who nearly stopped
the march of Gen. Sherman TO the sea.
He was a small boy down in Macon,
Ga, when Sherman and his followers
were headed toward that town in their
celebrated trip TO the seaboard. All
the youngsters in the neighborhood
thought the whole thing was extreme
" presumptuous of Sherman. Under
the leadership of Thomas, they set
out to stop the march. When Sher-
man and his crowd came along the
boys began to pelt them with stones.
hunks of mud and other rude missiles.
One line of the soldiers acting under
orders, turned and fired a few shots a
little over the boys heads.
Thomas then organized a flight. He
and his followers a and ran and ran.
Then they hid themselves and stayed
hid a long time. But they came just
that close TO stopping Sherman's
march to the sea.

Inounced today that during the holi.

OF The SOUTHERNER

| Worcester, Mass, Nov. 21.-Charles
II. Sheriff.. of New York, who was
American minister to the Argentine
Republic from 1908 to 1911, was among
the speakers at the afternoon session
of the Pan-American conference here
He said:

"And any man concerned in pub

fellows.
Suppose affairs should take so SER

Argentina or Brazil or some other Am

would be the result of such an invite

remove any idea among our South Am

land grabbing; secondly, it would free
our government from the persistent
opportunities of individual and cor

that the Titanic was unseaworthS
were presented to the federal district
court today in proceedings to deter
mine the liability of the owners to
their heirs OF those who lost their
lives in the disaster. These claims
aggregate $17,000,000 and if the
courts would determine that the liner
was not properly constructed and
equipped, it was said that there would
be practically no limit to the damages
that might be demanded.
Counsel for the owners argued that
the question of the Titanic's staunch.

list that the district court must pass
OF before it goes to the United States
circuit court of appeals, which will de-
eide what the limit of liability shall
be.

PRISON AT VERA CRUZ AND I'M
MEDiATELY SEEK ASYLUM AT

Their SURRENDER IS
ASKED, But REFUSED

for the surrender of Evaristo and Dan
Iel Madero to the local authorities
was made on Consul William w. Can
ada today by Colonel Eugenio Gutter
req, aide of General Gustayo Mas,
federal commander of Vera Cruz. Mr..
Canada promptly refused to comply
with the request.
Evaristo and Daniel Madero. rela-
tives of late President Madero of Mex
leo, were taken today on board the
American flagship from the consulate
where they took refuge last night.
After their release yesterday from
the fortress of San Juan Ula, the two
Maderos sought asylum in the Amer
ican consulate, where they were guard
ed in strict privacy. Today the two
fugitives. escorted only by John Lind,
the personal representative of Presi-
dent Wilson, and William w. Canada,
the United States consul, left the con-
sulate building and walked across
the vacant space to the sea wall op-
posite which lay steam launch with
an armed crew of blue-jackets from
the battleship Rhode Island. The
refugees stepped on board the launch,
which at once started for the flagship.
AS they were bidding bood-bye to Mr..
Lind at the launch, Evaristo Madero
exclaimed:
only God can save Mexico to
which his brother, Daniel, added, but
only with the help of the United

Evaristo replied;
"Yes, that is true
The party had been followed to the
launch at a respectable distance by a
