EASY MONEY
He Goes Home From New York
for More Funds and There
Learns Something More.

NEW YORK, July during all
the many years that Edward Lee
Baxter Davidson had been living in
the progressive town OF Charlotte. n.
c., it was his foolish belief that the
only way to make money is to work
for it.
Leading about 81 900 in cash and a
draft for $4,000 by the right hand,
he arrived in this hospitable village
on June "a Four days later he was
going TO accompany steamship to
the other side.
He registered at the Hotel Mar
Unique, and there met a we'll dressed
young man.
In the cafe the well-dressed young
man was met by friend who almost
tore a pocket in trying to remove an
obese roll OF yellowbaeks in an I'M
ostentatious manner.
Easy, Too Eeasy.
This is a mere nothing" said the
friend, carelessiy when l see so
many really intelligent young men
working for money 1t breaks my weak
heart"
That called for an explanation. and
it was given. BY tapping the wires
that carry racing results one could
make a fortune in 20 minutes.
After several minutes Davidson at
length persuaded the young man to
accept a few dollars from him for
sample bets. He was successful. He
wanted to know more about this road
to riches and, on being assured that
the more money you put up the more
you made he handed $500 to the we'll
dressed young man.
Goes Home for Money.
Somehow or other the money was
lost, but, said the VEIL dressed one,
Davidson should not be discouraged
He should make a bigger bet.
Gould you use this $4,000 draft ?"
he asked.
They could, IL they knew that Mr.
Davidson really had the money. Mr.
Davidson replied quickly he could
prove that he had by going to his
home and getting IT, He went back TO
Charlotte and there opened his heart
to Frank Osborne brother of James
w. Osborne, the lawyer, of this city.
Frank Osborne, suspicious, instructed
| Davidson to see James w. This he
did and Mr. Osborne took Davidson
to Deputy Police Commission Dough-
erty. who wired Frank Osborne TO
telegraph to the suspects when they
would arrive.
The two tappers were arrested
when they met Davidson. The North
Carolinan took liner to Europe.

upon his powers rather than extended
them.
So serious are these doubts in the
Governors mind that he has referred
the matter to the Attorney General
for an opinion, and will not under
take to do anything in relieving the
present situation with respect to pay
ing the common school teachers until
his mind has been cleared up by that
official.
If the amendment has fully author
lied the Governor to proceed to the
relief of the teachers, unquestiona-
bly, he will give the matter that di
rection, but the peculiar wording Of
statutes involved, has given rise to
perplexing doubts in the Executive
mind as to just exactly what the law
does contemplate, and he hesitates to
ever until he knows exactly what
terms and conditions a loan under
the amendment would impose, not
only upon the State, but upon the
source Of the loan.
Anxious to Pay Teachers.
Governor Slaton IS anxious to see
the school teachers paid. OF that
| there is no doubt But the uncertain
ty in his mind as to the law in the
case as well as the marked stringen-
cy of the money market at this time
has prompted him to make haste
slowly.
If 1t might be so arranged the Gov
ernor prefers that such loan or loans
as he may contract be made with
Georgia bankers and financiers. II
the matter can not take this direc-
ton, however. the Governor will be
forced to go East for such funds as
he needs, and he has reason to sus-
pect that it will be rather expensive
borrowing at this time.
Naturally, the Governor does not
wish to involve the State in trans
action calling for an abnormal eX-
pense item by way of interest.
The Governor wishes to relieve the
present pressing necessities of the
common school teachers. and in ad-
dition to that he hopes to secure from
the present General Assembly early
legislation of a character calculated
10 dNOlu uSldy luB TIE pay lAlSill VI IiS
teachers in the future.
Legislature to Cooperate.
There is a marked disposition in
the Legislature moreover, to coop
crate cordially with the Governor in
this matter.
During the present three day re-
cess of the House and the Senate the
Governor will address his attention
almost exclusively to the problem of
financing the teachers in their pres
ent necessities and planning for their
permanent relief.
When the Legislature meets again
Monday it is likely that the Governor
will put himself Immediately in touch
with that body, to the end that the
present troublesome status of affairs
may be worked out legally, equitably
and speedily.

Cure Gross Eyes

CHICAGO. July 4-Tucks are be-
ing used a great deal this year as a
remedy for the perplexing ailment
known to the laity as cross eyes" and
to men of science as convergent
strabismus.
Such was the gist of a paper read
by DR. George A .Suffa for the Amer
lean Homeopathic Society.
The method of clearing the com
pliCated visions of these unfOrtunates
consists in taking a tuck in one of
the muscles that control the ball of
the eye.

BRAz|ER IS HELD ID
 FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Should White Slave Charges Not Stick, Will Face Trial for Horse Stealing-Girl Tells a
 Pitiful Story.

Ft. Smith, July 3l.-David L. Bra zier of Broken Bow, Ok, arrested i'll Mena Monday by Deputy Sheriff Norris on charges of illegal cohabi- tation, and later turned over to Deputy United States Marshal Holt on charges of white slavery, was today bound over to the federal grand jury on this charge by Com missioner Dunblazier. The woman in the case is Miss Bessie Vaughn of Broken Bow, Ok. Braziers bond was set at $500, which he failed to make.
 Deputy Holt arrived in the city today at noon with the defendant and Miss Vaughn. They were ac- companied by Deputy Sheriff Norris of Mena, Mrs. Dixon, proprietress of the Dixon hotel at Mena, where the couple spent Sunday night, and Sheri1f Stephenson of Antlers, Ok, who has warrants for Brazier for horse stealing.
 Should the federal authorities fail to secure a conviction on white slave charges, Brazier will be turn ed over 10 the Oklahoma authori- ties to face charges of stealing a team of horses and a buggy from s. K. Newcomb of Antlers. BraHer is also wanted at Mena to answer to charges of selling stolen property.
 The Vaughn girl told a pitiful story, stating that she was under the impression all the time that she and Brazier were to be married and begged Brazier to marry her while at Mena. She has resided at Broken Bow only a short time, com ing there from Durant, Ok. Her father is dead and she and her wid- owed mother are in destitute cir cumstances. She denied on the stand that they stayed at the Mena hotel as man and wife, although other witnesses from Mena contra dicted this testimony
 It is probable that the federal au- thorities will hold the girl in this city until she can furnish sufficient bond that will make certain of her appearance at the next term of federal court.

NEGRO IS WITHDRAWN
 AND INDIAN NOMINATED
Gabe F.. Parker. Oklahoma RcdSkin. Slated as Register of Treasury
 in Place of Patterson, Negro.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Upon the request of \. E. Patterson, the Mus kogee Ok lawyer, President Will son yesterday withdrew his nomi- nation as register of the treasury and sent to the Senate instead the nomination of Gabe E. Parker, a Choctaw Indian of Academy, Ok. The position pays 5000.
 When PattersOn's name was first sent to the Senate, it raised a storm of protest from Oklahoma and else where. Most of the southern sena- tors announced they would oppose the negro's confirmation. Senator Robinson of Arkansas remarked that he was very glad the president had withdrawn the negro's name and that the nomination should never have been made in the first place.
 Gabe E. Parker, who was yester- day named to succeed J. C. Napier, the Tennessee negro at present reg ister of the treasury. is a ChOctaW Indian of high intelligence. He is about B years old and is at present superintendent of the Armstrong Indian Academy at Academy Ok. Parker was one of the delegates 10 the Oklahoma constitutional con- vention, and was a member of the first state legislature. His appoint ment had the backing of Senators Gore and Owen of Oklahoma. He will assume his new dlltipS in Washington about September 1.

BRYAN DENIES ANY
 FOREIGN INFLUENCE
Says Published Statement in Morn ing Papers of Foreign Pressure Brought to Bear Is GrOundlesS
 administration Pleased.

Washington, Aug. 1.-After a con- ference with President Wilson to- day, Secretary Bryan declared that the United States was in no way being pressed for action in Mexico, and issued the following statement:
 The statement which appeared in some of the morning papers to the effect that European govern ments are bringing pressure to bear on the United States to compel az gressive action in Mexico is entire ly without foundation"
 Administration officials were pleased to observe the reports from Mexico City that a reform element in the Mexican chamber of depu- ties was planning to submit peace proposals to both factions in the revolution. So far as is known the policy of the American government will be to await the outcome of ne- gOLiatiOns of this character.
 The chief difficulty in negotiat- ing peace, it is admitted by Mexi- cans of all factions, is the selection of non-partisan provisional presi- dent. The suggestion was made to- day by some prominent MeXicans here that on account of the scar city of men of ability who had not taken part in the Mexican disputes and changing politics, it might be ,Xpedient to select one of the vet aran diplomats now representing Mexico in posts abroad. Men of such character, it was pointed out, had no political affiliations, and would give the situation the benefit )f their experience in fields of di- Dlomacy. SenOr Corrvarubias, min
 ster to Russia, and Senor Gilbert IrespOy Martinez were mentioned.
