bRAzELTON SAYS CITY
NEEDS UNITY AND PUSH

T w Brazelton. who returned
yesterday from business visit TO
Waco, declared that the Central Tex
as metropolis was making marvellous
and notably resultful strides toward
greater cityhood.
"The growth OF Waco in the past
few years has been little short OF
wonderful" said Mr.. Brazelton.
Time was when that city was in a
semi-somenolent state. but new life
has been infused into the citizenship,
and by getting together and fighting
as a unit for tangible development
Waco has been put considerably and
conspicuously on the map.
Amarillo is a hummer, ana can
be, II her people will, one OF the best
and largest cities in Texas within
the next decade and a half What
she needs just now is an infusion of
the Waco, go-after-it spirit. That
will do the work and in the incred-
IDLY short time which was hitherto
characterized delivery in the west.
I'VE can, and We must throw aside
factional differences and the people
as a whole must get together should

things BY every right OF location,

should be one OF the real cities OF

Modern Pirates.

Thrilling tales from the China seas
serve as a reminder from time to time
that there are pirates even In these
days, and that the breed died out
neither with Captain Kidd nor with
the one-legged John Silver. For
nearly thirty years the French In In
do-China have either been suffering
from or vainly trying to end the dep
relations of a redoubtable pirate
chief, known to them as De Than.
He has been described by French
officer who some fifteen years ago
thought that he had converted the
chief and in a book Of experiences in
Indo-C China portrayed De Than as
physically weak, almost ridiculous lit
tie figure, whose rowing, brilliant
eyes alone revealed his individuality
Paris has heard that De Than and
his last two surviving followers were
recently killed in an encounter with
French troops. But the news OF De
Tham's death has reached the French
capital so often before, only to be
disproved by his subsequent exploits,
that Paris is still skeptical. Here is
the character for Joseph Conrad!

OEDES Retreat TO GUAYMAS DISASTROUS
About 1000 Men Struggled Into Quay
mas With Swollen Tongues From
Tirst-Some Oelirious.

Nogales, Aria scant 1000 men
struggled into Guaymas on June 70.
Their tongues were swollen from
thirst, their eyes bullying with de-
lirium, their bodies wounded by cac-
tus thorns and bullets. Leading them
was General Pedro Ojeda, commander
of the federal forces in Sonora state.
Ojeda led all that remained of the
army of $500 men with which he had
marched out of Guaymas to move
against Hermosillo, the insurgents
state capital.
The retreat proved more fatal than
the protracted battle. Scattered along
the roads between Ortiz and Quay
mas the victorious state troops over
took stragglers from the federal ranks.
Unable to proceed on the forced
march, the sandal-footed soldiers had
dropped by the roadside. Hundreds
had died of hunger and thirst. Those
still alive begged for assistance from
the enemy.
Many of them were mute from
swollen lips and blind from the desert
sun. They begged for water with mo-
lions of the hands. Virtually all the
federal artillery, the troops trains and
hundreds of rifles were captured by
the advancing state troops along the
line of Ojeda's retreat.

Mystery of Sleep.

Sleep, in which we spend about a
third of our lives, continues to be one
of the mysteries of biology. despite
the attempts of scientists to find So
luton. DR.. Raphael Dubois of Mar
settles, after a prolonged series OF ex-
periments on alternating animals, has
come to the conclusion that sleep is
due to antitoxin or poisoning by GER
tain waste products, which accumu-
late in the brain, and are only got
rid of by sleep. DR.. Claparede of &C.
neva thinks that sleep is an instinct
devised for the protection of the or
ganism. It was DR.. Ramon y CaJal
who formulated the neurotic theory
according to which the neutrones OF
pyramidal cells in the gray matter OF
the brain sink down and cease to ex
cite each other during sleep.
But there are objections to these
theories, and all others that have beer
advanced 1t is a matter Of absolute
knowledge that in sleep there is
certain absence of blood in the
brain. Anything that lessons the sup
ply of blood to the brain is likely tt
induce sleep. For this reason, keep
ing the head cool and the feet warn

means of overcrowding sleeplessness
Absence of light, noise and stront
odors help to produce the loss of con
seriousness, which is the chief charac
teristic of true sleep.

Great Defense.

The great advocate-let us call him
Mr.. McSweeney-was defending a
man in a murder case. The case
looked hopeless, and McSweeney sub
mitted no evidence for the defense.
So the public prosecutor, believing
that conviction was assured. ended
with just a few perfunctory re-
marks.
Then, in a quiet, conversational
tone, the famous McSweeney began to
talk to the jury. He made no men
ton of the murder. He just described
in vivid colors a pretty country cot
tage rung with honeysuckle, young
wife preparing supper, and the rosy
youngsters waiting at the gate tt
greet their father on his return home
for the evening meal. Suddenly Nc
Sweeney stopped. He drew himself
up to his full height. Then, striking
the table with his fist. he cried in
voice that thrilled every bosom:

FRANZ JOSEF'S KIND HEART
Little Incident That May Explain Why

Sense Of humor is another strong
trait of Emperor Franz Josef. One day,
unannounced, Franz Josef visited the
military academy at Wiener-Neustadt,
entered a classroom and, saying to the
officer hearing a recitation: Don't let
me disturb YOU" took seat. On the
bench behind him he put his generals
hat, crowned with its bush Of long
straight feathers. A boy eyed the
green plumes, then slyly stretched his
hand out and plucked one. Emboldened
by success, he took four. and would
have taken the rest had he not
touched his emperor's arm In the
process.
What are you doing that for!'
asked Franz Josef, viewing the de-
pleted bunch.

DISSOLUTION PLAN ACCEPTED
UNITED STATES COURT OF DIS
TRIcT OF UTAH, AT ST. PAUL,
Apouoves Plan for Dissolution Of
the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific.

ST. Paul. Minn.-Federal Judge Wal
fer n. Sanborn, William c. Hook and
Walter l. Smith, sitting as the dis
trict court of the United States for
the district of Utah, approved Monday
plans agreed on by the attorney gen.
eral and attorneys for the Union Pa
cific railroad, and the Union Pacific
Southern Pacific merger, known as
the Hartman combine, practically
ceased. The decree signed Monday
will become effective with its filing
in the federal court at Salt Lake City
this week.
With the handing down Of the final
decree years of litigation came to an
end. the first suit of the government
to dissolve the merger having been
filed at Salt Lake in 1908.
The decision came as a surprise.
There was a brief hearing, at which
the government was represented by G.
Carroll Todd, special assistant to the
attorney general, and the road by N.
H LOOMS and H. w. Clarke. The
court then took the case under ad-
visement. A number of times the
Judges called in attorneys for both
sides to question them further.
Shortly before o'clock Judge San
born presiding, announced that the
court had decided to enter final de-
cree approving the plan, with only
one important exception. This excep-
ton was the naming of Louis c,
Krauthoff of New York City as a
commissioner of the court to see to
it that the letter and spirit of the plan
be carried out. The court also direct
ed him to report to it from time to
time.
In brief, the plan, which has the ap
proval of President Wilson, provides
that the Union Pacific shall exchange
s3S, 900, 900 of it's $126.000,0OO holding:
| in the Southern Pacific for the Penn
sylyania railroads entire holdings il
the Baltimore and Ohio-virtually al
equal amount; that the remaining SSS,
OOO. 900 shall be sold to the genera
public through the Central Trust Com
pany of New York; that no presen
| stockholders of the Union Pacific ma!
buy any of the Southern Pacific stool
so sold: that the transaction should
begin November 1, 1913, and If no
completed by January /, 1916, thu
court should direct the disposition o
any Southern Pacific stock remaining
| unsold
