NO Change IN THE

f. Il. BLOOM SAYS HE MADE NO
SUCH STATEMENT As PUB.
NSHED BY AFTERNOON
PAPER,
Meeting Of the Directors Of Bridge
District Was Held Here =.
Tuesday.

A meeting Of the board of directors
of the Jefferson County Free Bridge
District was held in the r
Bank building yesterday, which was
attended by c. c. Kavanaugh, of Lit
tie Rock, and E. w. Jackson, of
Denver, Colorado, who are behind the
Pine Bluff to Little Rock interurban
project.
The directors discussed the Free
Bridge project and other matters
pertaining to it, but it is not believed
that any definite action, in addition
to what had already been decided on
by the board. was taken.
E. B. Bloom. one of the commits
sioaers. when interviewed by
Graphic representative after the
meeting, said that there was nothing
new to give out. that there was no
change in the situation insofar as the
Free Bridge is concerned.
Il was very much surprised to
read in the Pine Bluff Commercial
this afternoon a statement that I am
reported to have made regarding q
meeting of the Bridge Commissioners
and the work Of construction on the
BRIDGE" said Mr.. Bloom.
1T Is untrue that made the state-
ment credited to me- The only state
ment that I did make to the rep
resentative of the Commercial on his
request for news regarding the
bridge, was. that there is no change
in the situation other than that oc-
casioaed by the recent dicision Of the
Supreme Court"

Tells United States That It
Does Not Decide Interna-
tional Questions
WAS ABOUT MEXICO
That lluerta Will Reflect Himself
President. Is the Growing
Belief.

Washington, Oct. 21.@Great Britain
has squarely snubbed the United
States on the declaration of President
Wilson's policy as to President Huer-
ia, of Mexico, which submitted
for discussion to the British forei On
office by Ambassador Page.
The policy which President Wilson
signed and sent to the Huerta GOV
ermnet, was that he would not rec
ogniZe the October elections This
was presented to the British foreign
affairs for comment.
Great Britain replied substantially
| that the action of the United States
was premature and that Great Britain
would declare no policy until after
the election had been held. The
clear intimation of the British reply
| was that it was not in the habit of
| deciding International questions in
! advance.
The British foreign office has also
| made it clear to the United State that
| it's minister, Sir. Edward Garden, is
acting under the orders of his home
government. The charge was clearly
made in the dispatch OF Mr. O Shaugh-
! messy, received here Saturday, that
the attitude of Mr.. Garden, the Brit
ish minister. was hostile, but that
he was acting under orders from his
home government and that he was
carrying out the opinions also of the
| British colony at Mexico City and
elsewhere in the republic by his
recognition of Huerta after he had
proclaimed himself dictator.
The next step in the negotiations
will be for the State Department, but
Mr.. Bryan did not today define the
attitude of the government 1t was
announced today by the State De-
partment that it had made demand
on the rebel leaders holding Torreon
that they shold permit the departure
of 4 Spaniards and 40 Frenchmen who
are practically prisoners in that city
The Spanish minister at Mexico City
complained to Mr.. OShaughnessy
that the Spaniards were held there
and as the United States was control
! ing the situation, it would be the
duty of the United States to look
| after the Spaniards. The demand OF
Secretary Bryan was made on the
| Huerta government.
The news comes here today from
reliable sources that it is the plan of
President Huerta to have as few
candidates in the race as possible
and that his own agents at every
ballot box will'instruct the voters to
have written ballot to be cast for
Huerta, no matter what tickets may
be at the boxes. This impression is
stronger every day that Huerta will
elect himself by this or some other
means.
Secretary Bryan made the usual
! declaration today that there was nc
change in the situation in Mexico.

TOM WATSON
IS EX0NERAYED
Constitutional Freedom OF
the Press Involved in
Prosecution
INDICTMENT QUAsHED
Editor Of .Ieiiersonian Indicted For
Sending Obscene Matter Through
the Mails.

Augusta, Ga, Oct. 2l.-Thc trial
here of Thomas t. Watson. charged
with sending obscene matter through
the mails, ended abrumptly at noon
today when Federal Judge Rufus e.
Foster sustained the motion of the
defense, quashing the Indictment
against the Georgia editor. I'M
mediately upon 7he announcement of
the courts ruling there was a dem
onstration by the audience which
Judge Foster permitted to pass I'M
rebuked
Thomas f.. Watson, Georgia's editor
and one-time presidential candidate,
addressed the federal court in his
own behalf today.
Watson's address was an argument
that the statute under which he Was
being prosecuted was aimed at per
sons sending literature dealing with
vicious and degrading uses of drugs,
and not at papers or pamphlets of
the nature of his magazine. The in
dictment charges that copy Of the
editors magazine making an attack
upon the Roman Catholic church con-
tanned obscene language which the
writer represented as being questions
asked by the priest OF those in the
confessional
,Watson's attorney concluded their
argument for an anlfulment of the in
dictment principally on the ground
of constitutional guarantees for a
free press.
Announcement that Watson would
plead his own cause to the jury at
tracted the largest audience ever as
sembled in the United States district
court here. Rumor that there would
be a pro-Watson demonstration prior
to the opening of court proved with
out foundation. The audience was
quiet and orderly.
Despite the fact that S. G. McLen-
don, attorney for the defense, had
not completed his argument for a
motion to quash the Indictment
against Watson when court adjouren-
ed yesterday, it was predicted this
morning that the case might reach
the jury by night.
Judge Examines Magazine Articles.
Judge Foster announced yesterday
that he would carefully examine ar
ticles appearing in Watsons maya
zine, the Jeffersonan, which the in
dictment alleges are obscene, to- be
prepared today to rule upon Tns.hons
of the defense.
Attorney McLendon said this morn
ing that if the motion to quash the
indictment should be overfuled, he
would present further arguments in
support of other phases of the case.
He said he expected to cover every
phase of the case with a view of TAX
ing it before the Supreme Court of
the United States, if necessary.
Cannot Abridge Freedom Of Press.
In further support Of the motion.
Mr.. McLendon today submitted what
he said was brief digest OF opinions
of famous American lawyers, begin
ing with Thomas jefferson, which he
commended proved conclusively that
Congress has no power to abridge the
freedom of the press, and that, there
fore, the federal statute under which
Watson was indicted is uncOnstitu-
tional. The defense announced it will
call no witnesses.

From now Gary will have
metropolitan rules governing the stops
of Its street and interurban cars. An
ordinance passed last night requires
cars to stop on the near side of street
crossings and the penalty for violation
of this municipal law may be a fine not
to exceed $500. Incidentally the coun-
ell forgot to include in the ordinance a
clause compelling automobiles proceed
ing in the same direction as the car TO
stop within ten feet of the car when 1t
stops. Many people have been injured
because of the absence of law govern
ing this.
To Have More Police Sergeants
The council, gave second reading TO
and then referred to a committee an
ordinance creating two additional po-
lice sergeants at 1920 a year. There
are now four sergeants.
Similar disposition was made of an
ordinance to give members of the fire
department one day off in five-with
full pay. The firemen now get a holt
day every eighth day. Some Of the
aldermen think that one day in seven
is enough.
To Have Court Clerk.
Judge Wildermuth will have the as
sistance of a city clerk for a few hours
ever day. He Will be allowed s25 a
month for clerk services. The law pro-
hibfts a city OF Gary's size to have a
court clerk but the statute was cir
cumvented by naming a city steno-
grapher. A court clerk is needed in
Gary as the city court is one of the
three largest in the state and it docs
ten times the business that the city
court of Hammond transacts.

mains were found 100 feet from tn e

The accident was witnessed by three

stories Parker did not seem to be aware
OF the approaching danger as he started
across the Fire tracks thinking seem

Those who the accident turned
their heads with horror, knowing that
Parker would be instantly killed. AS
yet no blame has been placed on the
train crew who gave warning he
struck the crossing. The train was In
charge of Engineer J. J. Foley and Con-
ductor H. B. Linville.
On April 10, 1910 Parker shot and
killed Mary Palen. On June Z. 1910 he
was discharged by the jury on the sole
grounds that he was OF an unsound

at times has been employed as a cross
