Enforce the Liquor Law.

NV
There is justice and sound sense

the strict enforcement of the new

II Is gross injustice 20 tax men

ACCIDENT TOfATHER SAVES LIVES OF CHILDREN

Jumps in Time to Save Them.

Angleton, Tex.-A triple accident
that did not prove mortal 10 any ont
almost by a miracle, and which prob
ably has no parallel, occurred on Bas-
trop bayou, near Angleton, Tuesday.
II. f. Schmidt, a farmer, while plow-
ing with a sulky pillow, was thrown
backward from his riding position
when the seat broke, and while fall
ing saw one of his children, which had
been playing with its brother or sister
on the bank of the bayou, fall into the
water. Gaining his feet, the father
rushed to the bank and plunged into
the stream to rescue his child.
While taking the almost lifeless
body from the water he stepped upon
the other child, which had fallen into
the water previously and sank from
view. The father rescued both of the
children and after much difficulty
they were resuscitated and now seem
fully recovered.

SPANIARDS MUST Be PROTECTED
UNITED STATES REQUIRES CAR

Attempt to ExpeI Subjects Of Spain
viii Meet Determined Opposition
Of Washington Government.

Washiugton - Vigorous representa-
tions went from the american govern
pent Tuesday to General CarranZa,
the con.titutionali-t chief, urging him
TO modify the order of General Villa
eXpelling Spaniards from Torreon.
The situation is giNin" grave concern
to authorities at Washington.
The United States has undertaken
to extend 10 Spaniards in Mexico the
same protection it affords American
residents, there, and Ambassador
Riduo has been assured that nothing
will be left undonc to assure for the
uufortunates at 1orreou every right to
which they are entitled under inter
national law and usage.
Spain proposes 10 exhaust every re
source to protect her people. II WAS
made plain Tuesday. when Rear Nd
miral Mayo at Tampico cabled the
navy department that the command
ing OFFICER of the British cruiser Her
m one had been instructed To care Tor
Spaniards at that port. Officials AT
WASHINGTON did not comment on this
development.
The state department, a. we'll as me
Spanish embassy, is embarrassed In
dealing with the TorrcCn situation by
a lack OF exact information as to the
extent OF the expulsion decree and
/ how far il has been expected. 1t Is
understood villa in a public speech
told the Spaniards of Torreon they
were TO be depOTJed en- masse; tha
a commission would be appointed Il
examine into each individual, and sucl
of them as could establish the fac
that they have rendered no aid Il
Huerta would be permitted 10 return
The gravity OF the problem has beef
increased by unofficial but credible
information that this policy OF eXpul
sion of the Spaniards is to be OF gen
eral application; that as rapidly as tn
constitutionalists extend their cOntro
they intend TO drive out the Spaniard
and seize their property.

Strawberries Are Moving in CARROTS.

the season will open in full blast by
the middle of the present month. The
progress of the crop toward maturity
during the past two weeks has proved
a source of much satisfaction to the
farmers, as it was thought that the re-
cent cold weather had caused nucn
injury and would result in long de
lay in the shipping season.
The first carload of farm produce
raised on cutover lands in Tangipahoa
was shipped to Northern markets TINS
week. The consignment represented
every variety of vegetables, and was
grown in the vicinity of BrookvieN
