OLD HUERTA AND UNCLE SAM

AS was inevitable, the Mexicans got to
laughing about this naval display of force,
and this formidable landing Of blue Jackets,
just to buy some gasolene.
If you had been there, you might have
smiled little yourself
Well, Sir, when the news reached our Sun
day-school teachers and Bryan
they fell into futter of boundless indigna-
ton. They were mad, through and through.
They flung the Hymnbook at the blackboard,
and went chasing over to the Navy Depart
ment, and ordered all all our monster battle
ships to hurry down to Tampico.
The things they were going to do to old
Huerta this time, would be gods lavish. So
said our Sunday-school teachers. They
swore that Huerta must not only apologize
which he had already done-but that he must
salute our flag
The release of the blue jackets and the
apology for the mistake were not enough: our
flag must be saluted by the shooting off Of
some twenty-odd big Mexican guns.
Nothing less than twenty-odd would salve
our wounded feelings. Twenty odd large
guns must be fired off right away, or our
Sunday-school teachers would do about and
kill some bears.
Well, Sir, I really do believe it is the fun

and new trial was again refused.
The condemned we're heard, by the public,
crying their Innocence up to the last day.
After they, had been executed for plain
murder-one bad Jew shot by three other bad
Jews, and one bad Italian-if was soon known
that the newly discovered evidence" was
rank perjury, cooked up by fake detectives
and knavish lawyers. It was also known that
the doomed men, a0hen all hope Of pardon a0as
gone, CONFESSED.
Not one Of them persisted in saying he was
innocent. And while one of them was appar-
emily about to tell the full story on Becker,
the Warden, Czarecey, hastily shot the electric
current unto him, silencing him for ever
Inasmuch as the New York Times has had
so much to say against the people Of Atlanta
and of Georgia, In connection with another
Israelite, you may be curious to see what the
worthy Adolph Ochs published about the
three Jews who were executed in his own

Times:
A NEEDED LESSON JUSTIFIED.

Rarely will the most abandoned

Even though he may shun confession for the sake

the chair at Sing Sing were evasion Of this
sort, poor attempt to make the best of it with
out absolute, unqualified untruth.
Even this mans conduct would have been sufh-

It would have fully avaied to quiet the quafms
of the tender hearted and remove the doubts of
the overscrupulous as to whether an injustice had
been done. But, fortunately, Of the deplora-

really the common course Of men in his plight and
made full confession of guilt
Really assurances were needed Of the sub

however, in having unanswerabIe vindication of

practical commentary which it affords upon the

Apparently, we have played right into that

to recognize him, ever since he betrayed and

We have been refusing to recognize him:
yet we have had John Lind down there on the
rim of the horizon, holding on by his teeth,
and trying to figure out what our Sunday
school teachers wanted him to do.
John finally figured out that he was not

ONE Of our naval tubs got out Of gasoline,
- near Tampico, and a small army of our
marines landed on Mexican soil to buy
half-a-gallon of John D. Rockefeller's per-
culator.
Naturally, this landing of our marines, in
full uniform, excited the apprehensions of the
agitated Mexicans, who could not, on the spur
of the moment, imagine that such number of
blue-jackets were necessary to effect the pur-
chase of two quarts of oil.
This shows you how unreasonable these
Mexicans are; and how sensible we are in the
transaction of the smallest affairs
Instead of detailing a niger deck swabber
to 90 ashore and buy the can of oil, we had
to land company Of uniformed fighting
men.
WE'LL the Mexicans modified their local
forces, bore down upon our marines and
peaceably captured the entire outfit.
No blood was split: no bones were brozen:
no eye was blue-marked: no uniform was
soiled.
AS soon as the Americans and Mexicans
could get their languages to swapping horses,
and could understand one another, the Ameri-
cans were turned loose, and given ample lib
erty to proceed on their way to purchase the
can of OIL

had "squealed" on the Police system, which
was interlocked with local crime.
Lieutenant Becker dreading the revelations
that Rosenthal might make in court, ordered
him killed.
Three Jews were among the gunner who
edid the boldest murder ever committed in
New York.
They rode to the scene of the crime in an
automobile: they rode away in the car after
the killing: they acted as publicly as though
they knew that powerful protection would
save them from punishment.
Those men and Becker had legal trial:
their guilt was judicially established: the
sentence of the law was pronounced; and
then, to the amazament of the country, Becker
was given new trial

It's operations have greatly influenced the
development and expansion of the community and
surrounding territory; its growth from small
individually conducted concern to it's present con-
dition of strength and widely extended trade re-
lations has proven of invaluable aid in the upbuild-
ing of this section Of Putnam county in general.
The mercantile interests of Palatka have ben
elite immensely by the location of the plant in this
city, for the dollars paid out by the Wilson Cy
press Company to it's host of employees, pass thro
the hands of the local merchants and go to swell
the volume of business which is the life of every
community.
Forming nucleus around which to gather
other manufacturing enterprises, this concern
has been the means of influencing several addi-
tional manufacturers to locate in Palatka and by
so doing, partake of the various benefits which
naturally are afforded by a general producing
center.
There can be no question whatever as to the
beneficial influence on the development of Palatka
of the Wilson Cypress Company's operations; it
constitutes one of the important factors in the
vital resources of the community and its loss
would mean a staggering blow to the welfare of
the city, It's steady and unchecked advance from
comparatively modest inception to its eminently
satisfactory status at present. augurs well for the
continued progress Of Palatka toward its ultimate
goal-the premier lumber center of Florida.

The management of the enterprise is in the
hands of the following executive officials: Presi-

manager A. E. Wilson; treasurer, A. M. Rust;
secretary, F. H. Wilson.
The Wilson Cypress Company being the larg-

The Wilson Cypress Company operates its
own power plant, furnishing light throughout
the plant and motive power for such machinery as
is desired Powerful engines are used to drive
the massive machinery in the mills and fully
equipped machine shop is maintained thoroughly
modern in every respect
Ordinarily the Wilson Cypress Company op-
crates it's plant but 10 hours day, but if coca,
sion demands, night shift of workmen is added
and the output thereby doubled over the normal
capacity. The highest record out OF the mills MUS
for 10 hour day is $4,000 feet of lumber sawed
from the rough timber, figure which gives some
idea of the magnitude of the enterprise and the
capacity of the plant working under full headway.
About 200 men are employed in the main
plant of the Wilson Cypress Company, and these,
with the force in the swamps getting out the
rough timber, bring the total number of employees
up to something over 400 men, exclusive OF the
sales organization, through which the products
of the concern are marketed.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SEEKS TO
RECOVER FOR SAND SAID
TO BE TAKEN.

Devils Lake, N. D., March s.
After serving as plaintiff in more
actions. than all other litigation
starters combined, the state of
North Dakota changes its role in
a case against the Great Northern
railway which comes for trial dur
ing the jury term Of court which
opens here Monday with Judge c.
w. Buttz presiding.
In the action in question the
state, through Attorney General
Andrew Miller, seeks to recover
$4,000 from the corporation on
the ground that certain gravel.
sand and earth owned by the state
and included in Rock Island mill
tary reservation, was unlawfully
appropriated by the railway. When
the cutoff to Fargo, by Aneta
was constructed several years ago,
right of way across the military
reservation was secured. The
state contends that since that time
8.13 acres has been appropriated
by the railway. This is the first
case on the civil calendar which
will be called Monday. In addi-
tion there are sixty civil cases.

COUPLE ARRESTED

Valley City, N. D., March A.
Fred Reneke of Colliss, Mimi, a
little station in Traverse county
left for home after succeeding in
causing the arrest of l.. E. Legree
on an adultery charge. 1t seems
from the story of the irate husband
that his wife, who is his second
venture in the matrimonial line,
left him and her three children
last May and her whereabouts was
unknown to him until recently, al
though he had been hunting dill
gently for her. AS soon as through
an accident he had located her here
he came here and caused their ar
rest. Legree, the man in the case
was arrested, given a hearing and
bound over to district court.
1t is claimed that L gree and the
woman have been living together as
man and wife for some time and
that the woman is soon to become
a mother, as a result. The hus-
band expressed a willingness to take
the erring woman home until he
learned Of her condition and then
refused to have anything further to
do with her.

BELIEVE MEN WERE:
MURDERED IN SHACK
TWO MINOT GREEKS ARE GRE
MATED IN BURNING SHACK
SUNDAY NIGHT.

Minot, N. D., March 2.--What
appears like one of the foulest
murders that has ever been COM
mitted in the City of Minot, was
uncovered this morning when the
officials Investigated the death Of
Snera Zevas and John Genoulis,
two Greeks, cremated in their shack
on the 500 right of way at 1870 a.
m. today.
The fire department., which was
busy at the blazing, Dwyer home
on Ruth street on the North Side,
received a second call when in the
midst Of their work, and by the
time the hose had been coiled and
the fire found, throe of the shacks
occupied by the laborers were a
mass of flames. Someone shouted
that there were two men in one OF
the shacks and the water was dir
ected at this alone, too late to save
much of the little building. When
the fire was quenched sufficiently
to allow entrance the firemen found
the two charred bodies lying in
their partially consumed bunks:
At that time, it was thought that
the men had simply gone to sleep
and inhaled some of the fumes,
being cremated before the firemen
arrived. The bodies were placed
in box and Undertaken Rowan
took them to his establishment.
But the unusual condition of the
two bodies raised suspicion In the
minds of Mr.. Rowan and the Off
cials and an investigation was start
ed by the sheriff and the police
force. The skull OF one man was
broken, and the brains scattered.
What appeared to be three knife
wounds were found in his stomach.
The abdomen of the other was laid
wide open and it is, the belief Of
some that this was the work OF a
knife. Further Investigation re-
vealed the fact that the mattress
on one of the hunks was soaked
with blood and a rumor has it that
the hands Of ONE of the men were
tied. In reporting the matter to
the Reporter, Chief Smith stated
that the officials had found blood
and what looked like brains over
the top of the mattress. Another
report given the officials is that a
kerosene can usually kept inside the
shack was found on the outside.
A coroncrs jury was called at 3
p. m. today to investigate the mat
ter and Orsin Doe has been gath
ering evidence all day.
Indications are that the two men
were murdered but one of the
greatest difficulties to overcome will
be the terribly charred condition
Of the bodies. r

KID TRA|LOR" IS

LICE AND IS TAKEN BACK

Kid Trailor, the notorious west
ern horse thief who was arrested
at Flaxton t.Yo weeks ago and TAX
en- to Regina by the Northwest
Mounted Police on charge of horse
stealing, was released by the Re-
gina iauthorities after an investiga-
ton which showed that Trailor was
not mixed up in trouble. A wire
was Immediately sent from Towner
to hold him until Sheriff Sampson
could come and get him. He is
therefore detained in the police
barrdE Eks waiting on the arrival of
Sam$on. 1t is alleged by the
Tow1fer authorities that the Kid is
concerned in some horse thefts
near fSTowner and he will probably
have to do some more good ex-
planning before his liberty is re-
stored.
Naturally it is not the best policy
to defend a thief or to make excuses
for his conduct but it would seem
as if everyone was taking a kick.

ton into Canada and states that
he will not fight it coming back

Clarence Crockard, his partner, pub
fishers of Jim Jam Jems at Bis
marck, a new trial.
Clark and Crockard were con-
victed by a jury in the Federal
sending certain literature via. in
terstate commerce. Judge John
E. Willard of St. Paul presided at
the trial, while Charles Houpt, of
St, Paul, district U. S. attorney, and
Judge Engerud of Fargo, represent
ed the government. Tracy Bangs
and Geo. r. Bangs of Grand Forks
and Dudley Nash Of Minot repre-
sented the defendants.
The case was one of the hardest
fought in the northwest and at
tracted nationwide attention owing
to the prominence of the defend
ants and the large circulation Of
their publication.
Following trial which lasted
several days the jury returned about
2 o'clock in the morning with
verdict of guilty. Clark and
Crockard were Immediately sum-
moned by the judge and sentenced
to spend term of two years each
at Leavenworth and pay fines Of
$4,000 each on two counts.
The defendants attorneys i'm
mediately gave notice OF new
trial and arguments were heard
before the United States circuit
court Of appeals on Jan. 18th.
The defendants counsel alleged
prejudice on the part of the judge,
that one OF the jursnlen, an attor-
ney from Dickinson, was prejuc-
iced and that only certain portions
Of articles were allowed to be in
troduced instead Of the complete
article. 1t is believed that the
latter argument was the one which
influenced the court Of appeals
most
The attorneys for the defense
and Messrs. Clark and Crockard
believe that the granting or new
trial is equivalent to an acquittal,
as they do not believe that another
conviction can be secured. The
date of the new trial will be an
nounced later.
