 '~There is a disposition on the part of the business man considering chang ing over from horses to motor trucks to think of the motor truck aS, a nnAre substitute for a horse truck" says J. A. Morris. Tt Is very hard for the business man to get 1t into his head that a motor truck is much more than a substitute for horse truck. If he will bear in mind that one first class motor truck is a substitute for three, four, six. eight and sometimes 8. dozen teams. he will get a truer idea of the inherent working capacity of motor trucks when used in a way to cut out all loss of time and delays in loading and unloading. The motor trnck, tn addition to be ing able ito cScry a 1argep tonnage than horse truck, carries 1t with three or four times greater speed and therefore when the load can be put on by a mechanical loading device such as g, power winch, crane, moving tonnage equated with the greaEer speed of~doing the work make it sheer folly to consider the motor truck as a simple substitute for a horse truck. Indeed, if this ere all @ motor truck Is, it. could not justify Its first cost nor would there be any reason for a sen si7ble business man to change from horses to motor trucks.

TEXAS is THREATENED.
Body Of Mexicans Said to Have Sent
Telegram to Governor Colquitt.

Austin, Tex, Nov. 18-Threats to
make Texas ANSWER to the whole Mexi-
can people" unless mercy is shown Mex
ican ammunition smugglers arrested last
September at Carrizo Springs, Tex, was
telegraphed to Governor Colquitt yes
terday by l27 Mexicans under date OF
San Marcos. There were Ia Mexican
smugglers, IL of whom are still awaiting
trial. The telegram read:
mexican colony protests against per-
secution that the state of Texas is max
ing against the Mexican revolutionists
that were arrested near Carrizo Springs.
Two of them have been convicted against
the law and evidence and given 25 years
and six years in the penitentiary, and
the other one was convicted at Cotulla
by prejudiced jury and given the bar
harous penalty of 80 years in the peni-
tentiary. We will not stand by such
barbarous state of things and will ap-
peal to the whole Mexican nation if
your state wants to murder men loyal
to the human race and the liberty of
oppressed people. We have noticed that
the other men are going to be convicted
and sentence to be hanged, and we will
tell you, Mr.. Colquitt, if such thing
happens, Texas will answer before the
whole Mexican community for crimes
without precedent in legal history"

WIFE LEFT HOSPITAL
And Joseph Pelkey Paid Fine for Simple
Breach of the Peace.

Pleas of guilty were made on two
breach of peace charges preferred against
Joseph Pelkey and Henry Trombley in
city court yesterday afternoon. Both
respondents paid up and received their
discharges. The finishing chapter TO a
little episode on Prospect street Sun
day evening that surcharged the air with
all sorts of wild rumors came when Mrs.
Pelkey left her bed at the City hos
pital and walked home, thus assembling
with one stroke the story that she had
been near death on the night prior Mrs.
Pelkey recovered control of herself dur
ing the day and the husband regained
his composure He paid a S5 fine and
costs of $3.50 and went home.
Trombey was arrested at noon yes
terday because the state had discovered
that he was one of the principals in
Sunday nights alleged fracas. 1t was
claimed by the prosecution that the sec
ond respondent INDUCED in an alterca-
tion with Pelkey. He paid 81 fine and
costs of S5.l4. He was arrested by Off
Ger Harry Gamble on the grand jurors
warrant.
Joseph John, who was arrested in the
late forenoon by Officer Gamble, pleaded
not guilty to an intoxication charge be-
fore Judge H. w. Scott and furnished

Police There Want to Know About Cebo.
hin Congo.

Police headquarters got a message
this forenoon from the district attorney
of Clinton county, New York, asking for
information concerning the record of one
Ceborin Congo, formerly of Barre. Act
ing Chief Harry Gamble talked with the
attorney and during the conversation it
developed that Congo bad been appre-
hended on a statutory charge. The ar
rest was made in Plattsburg yesterday
and the district attorney, in commune
cation with the local police, was anxious
to ascertain if Congo was married. He
was informed by the acting chief that
the man had a wife and children living
in Barre at the present time. Later
Mrs. Congo was called to the police sta
tion to talk with the Plattsburg official
She was asked to go to Plattsburg to
appear in the case.
According to the story told to the
Barre officer, Congo and l7-year-old
girl had been under surveillance by the
Plattsburg police for several days. Yes
terday, so the narrative ran, it became
evident that Congo and his alleged COM
panion were about to leave town when
the district attorney caused his arrest.
He was detained on technical charge
of statutory violation.
Mrs. Congo left Barre this afternoon
for Plattsburg. The district attorney
said to-day that she would be asked to
testify against Gonyo when his case
comes before the grand jury for hearing
Thursday afternoon.

JUST A SPARK NEEDED.
To Set OFF War Between United States
and Mexico.

Burlington, Nov. lS.-There was an at
tendance of more than so at the annual
fall banquet of the Vermont comman-
derry, Military Order of the Loyal Legion,
held last evening at the Van Ness
house. Col Herbert S. Foster of North
Calais, the commander, was toastmaster,
and the principal speakers We're Capt.
Ira l.. Reeves, U. S. A., retired, professor
of military science and tactics at the
University of Vermont, President Guy
Potter Benton of the University of Ver-
mont, and ex-Gov. Urban A. Woodbury..
Captain Reeves said that present con-
ditions involving Mexico and the
United States are very like those pre-
ceding the Spanish war. Then existing
evils were grossly magniied by yellow
journals. The speaker declared, however,
that he did not believe the Mexican sit
uation would result in the armed inter-
yention of the United States unless some
great catastrophe like the blowing up of
the Maine should occur. Captain Reeves
added that army people as a rule do not
desire war. The Spanish war was forced
upon the country by the demand of the
people and was opposed by President
Mckinley. Some young officers may
seek baptism of blood, just as do
some in civil life, but this is not true
of the army generally.
