WILL PROTECT HIS PEOPLE Governor Colquitt Will Pro- tect Lives and Property
 of His Citizens. TROOPS CALLED IN. Troops Waiting on "Watch and Wait" Policy Have Not the Effect
 Desired.
TROOPS CALLED IN.

New York, March 12.-The follow ing message which is an answer sent to the I. N. IS. had been received from Gov. Colquitt of Texas. The gover- nor discusses some things which were suggested some things i'll rne message sent to him in the l. N. S.
 Austin, Texas, Editor I. N. s. Your telegram last night reached me this morning. The sending of aGdi- tional HOO troops by the Washington administration to the Mexican border is not objectionable for the reason that it will inspire some confidence
 'The practical effect of these ad- ditional troops in restraining bands of marauders and bandits from cross ing the Rio Grande river to carry on their pilfering and robberies will be but slight. The troops watching and waiting on the watch and waltz policy, will not have the particular effect desired.
 With permission to persue the bandits across the river more effec- tive results can be accomplished with 100 rangers than 1000 troops on the watch and wait.'
 l"The frontiers on the Rio Grande from Fl Paso to Brownsville is nearly 800 miles long and there are dist ances of nearly 300 miles along the river where there are no troops.
 Until the order was issued rais- ing the embargo against shipping arms into Mexico Gen. Bliss had troops scattered along different points along the io Grande, but as understand, under orders from Wash ington, these troops were called in to Fort Sam Huston.
 "It is my intention to vigorously enforce the rights of this state and protect the lives and property of its citizens to the very best of my abil- ity with the means and force at my command.
 70. B. COLQUITT,
 Governor of Texas"

MISS ELEANOR WILSON
 MAY MARRY M AD00
WASHINGTON IS FILLED WITH CURRENT RUMORS OF ANOTHER
 WHITE HOUSE WEDDING.
According to Those Who Delye m Such Affairs, June is Given as
 Date for NuDtiaIs.

Washington, March 12-Prospects for another White House wedding be- cam me more definite today with the persistent renewal of the report that Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Miss Eleanor Wilson youngest daughter of the president and Mrs Wilson, are engaged, the marriage to take place in June. There was ao announcement from the White House and when the attention of officials was drawn to the report they re- trained from making any comment CT denial.
 Secretary McAdoo himself said it would be indelicate for him to com ment on the subject one way or the other. Nevertheless official Washing ton is taking it as definite fact that another wedding at the White House will be solemnized in June after the adjournment of Congress. Many persons who know Secretary McAdoo were not surprised at the re- port, because he has been frequent social visitor at the White House during the last year.
 MT. McAdoo is 50 years old, while Miss Wilson is "A. He is Vidower and has six children, one son and one daughter being married. Nr. McAdoo, who is the builder of the Hudson tun- nel, knew the Wilson family before his entry into the cabinet and has been an intimate friend of the presi- dent since early in the pre-conyen- tion campaign.

Washington, March 12-The Su-
 preme Court of the United States
 dealt a death blow to hopes of former President Frank M Ryan of the Bridge and Structural Ironworkers' Union, and twenty-three other mem bers of the organization convicted at Indianapolis in the dynamite conspir- acy eases, in declining to review their
 cases. There is little chance of the convicted men escaping the terms in the Federal prison to which they were sentenced. The convictions were based largely on the confessions of Ortie McManigal and of James B. Me- Namara, former secretary of the un- ion. The crimes for which the labor men were convicted were transporta- tion of dynamite and high explosives in interstate commerce. Their con- vfctions had been confirmed by the Federal Court of Appeals at Chicago.

OUGHT OUT PERJURY.
kand Juryman Who Sat on Indict. \ Ment Wants to Have RetriaI-Is N Doubtful Over Guilt,

( EsaA Atlanta, March 12-New evidence
 As been secured by Leo M Franks sj j8ttorneys to sustain the charge thai ghf defendant was convicted on evi- dAnce that had been framed by { Acity detective and other members o1 slNhe police department.
 The evidence was given by w. S SsJ$nkins and his wife and related tc aAeged attempts of the detective tc < Aecure false testimony against Frank $ From their daughter, Leila Belle Z Brown.
 Mrs. Brown has been married since the Frank trial and now lives iii 5lMilledgeville. Last Spring she was l6 years old, unmarried and living with her parents.
 Mir. and Mrs. Jenkins voluntarily sought attorneys for the defense and made the statement to "prevent the execution of an innocent man. they said:
 About one month after Frank was arrested the Jenkins state the detect- i've came to their home and asked to , gee Lela Belle,
 SYou are the girl who went with Mary Phagan to the factory the day se&A&was. killed, 4arn't gyou?'' The de- stective is said to have asked.
 When the girl told him no, he pressed the assertion and added fssYou went there with Mary Pha- Gan and Frank sent you away and kept Mary Phagan there, saying she had some work to do?"
 The girl denied this assertion also and after more questioning by the detective he went away.
 Offered Her Money. ssM M The detective and other police people again returned and one of them, according to Mrs. Jenkins, of- fered Lela Belle large sum if she would swear she was the "girl in the red dress" who was supposed to have gone to the factory with Mary Pha- 5 ran and to have been told by Frank that she need not wait for Mary as S1he would be detained at the factory factor for some time. ga MT. and Mrs. Jenkins both declare SEher daughter told the detectives she was not the girl in l9the red dress, that she did not know 1either Mary Phagan or Frank and ssthat she had never visited the Yac- Ntory. & Neverthless, they assert the detect Hives insisted she was the girl i" "he &red dress.
 NJ Again the detective went away and Areturned and told the girl that Mrs $Moody, had told them Leila Belle was Nthe girl in the red dress. They all 8went to Mrs. Moody's home, accord Ming to the story told, and there Mrs kMoody denied ever having made any Nsuch statement.

 "Then there is another reason for a, new trial whichsI beg to mention without at all desiring to argue the case. I refer to the point made by Mr. Alexander in his pamphlet, an- alaysing the note written admittedly by Conley, that it is exceedingly im- probable that this not so full of negro superstitution should have been dic- tated by white man. This point was not brought to the attention of the jury and is certainly worth consider ing"

THE POSTCARD CAMPAIGN.

JUDGE KUNKEL'S friends in and
out of politics are taking more
than a passing interest in the
" campaign now being waged for
his nomination as candidate for the
Supreme Court bench of the State. An
evidence of this Is the demand for
the postcards that are being circulated
In his interest.
No man has done more to uphold
the good name of the State of Penn
sylvania in recent years than Judge
kunkel. His high sense of duty and
splendid knowledge of the law led as
much to the conviction of the Capitol
conspirators as the evidence deduced
by the prosecution. A less able jurist
would have floundered in the maze of
technicalities raised by opposing coun-
sci. One little error in ruling would
have upset the entire proceedings in
an appeal to the Supreme court, and
there would have been miscarriage
of justice that would have reflected on
the courts of the State and the en-
tire governmental machinery of the
Commonwealth. But none was made

BOSSING PENNSYLVANIA
pittsburgh Gazette Times. ]

pittsburgh Gazette Times.
White House disclaimers to the con-
trary Notwithstanding and Secretary
Bryan's recent assertion that it was
the policy OF the President not to in
terpose in the Democratic politics of
any State in which a United States
senator was to be elected this year, we
now have it from the lips of Repre-
sentative A. Mitchell Palmer that Mr..
Wilson has absolutely dictated Pal
mer's candidacy for senator and along
with him that of Vance c. Mccormick
for governor of Pennsylvania. Ever
since these heavenly twins of the re-
organized Democracy of this State set
out to capture the nominations by as
sumfng an air of righteous superiority,
they have tried to make it appear for
public consumption that, although
supporters of the Wilson administra-
ton, as they ought to be, no federal
power or patronage was being arbi-
trarily employed in their behalf to the
exclusion of other aspirants, such as
Ryan for governor and Budd for
senator. but that the fight was open
and above board.
A reading of the record in the case
as supplied secretly in the Red Room
of that most democratic of hostelries,
the Bellevue-Stratford, Philadelphia,
will disabuse anybody's mind as to the
unselfishness and untrammelled char
|acter of the Mccormick Mitchell COM
bination. Mr.. Palmer's naive narrative
is impaired frankly, sincerely openly
and fully" as was fitting behind closed
doors and under the auspices of the
New Freedom. The first aim of the re-
organizers was to prosecute the pro-
cess of elimination so craftily and pri-
vately as to prevent any ordinary
Democrat with initiative and popular
ity of his own from having a look-in
for the two nominations.
1t is a great come all We faithful"
to proceed from a President and Sec
retary of State who owe their eleva-
tion largely to protests and preach
ments against bossism. 1t is in startl-
ing refutation of Mr.. Bryan's assur-
ance over his own name in the Com
moner that the President was keep
ing hands off and playing fair as be-
tween Democrats. That Mr.. Wilson
should desire to have his administra-
ton approved in Pennsylvania is ma
tural and proper though he will not
witness the miracle in 1914-but that
he should attempt the Folger business
over again and descend to the politi-
cal methods against which he and his
party have inveighed for years, re-
veals him in a role that inevitably in
vites unfavorable criticism.

RECKLESS DEMOCRATIC EN-
TRAVAGANCE.
philadelphia Ledger.1

There need be no surprise at the
reckless extravaganza of the present
Congress. Its majority is inexperi-
enced in the arts of responsible gov
ernment. 1t has received no mandate
from the people. but is in power be-
cause of Republican split. The
greedy amateurs in government be-
lieve that they must get as much pub
lie money as possible for their dis
tricts and for the appointees of their
party while they have the chance. 1t
matters not that they have been
charging the Republicans with eX-
travagance. The had to charge them
with something, and when the expen-
ditures of a rapidly growing nation
were increased to keep pace with the
growth 1t was easy to say that the
party in power was extravagant and
to make a show of proving it by
quoting figures. But the Republicans
need not prove that this Congress is
wasteful. 1t has been effectively done
by one of its own responsible leaders,
John J. Fitzgerald, chairman of the
House Committee on Appropriations.

THE TROUT. SEASON.

THERE wifi be many vacant Of
fees tomorrow. Many doors
i will bear the sign ,"Out of Town
on Important Business" And
the absent tenants will be along the
trout streams of Central Pennsylva-
mia.
For days the fishermen have been
every time a cloud showed itself over
the horizon. When the weather man
predicted rainy Easter there was
CONSERVATION as great among the
trout anglers as among the girls who
had bought new spring costumes
but not for the same reason. The
streams are in fairly good condition
and the fishermen didn't want the
sport spoiled by "roily'' waters that
would make fly fishing next to useless
and keep the big fellows at the bot
toms of their favorite pools.
There is really no sport quite so alb
sorbing as troutfishing, and particu-
larly is this true in respect to the first
excursion of the season. Says the golf
enthusiast, When your business in
terferes with your golf, neglect your
business" but for the trout fisherman
there is no such thing as business
when 1t comes time to go astream
with rod and creel-business for the
time simply does not exist for him.
He is wrapped around with the CLAM
our of boyhood days renewed, he
smells again the pungent odors of
growing things, he hears the gurgle
of water beneath the over-hanging
bank. he sees the rise of the trout
to the fly. and who can blame him
when he pulls down the lid of his roll
top, hangs out the sign with its gentle
hint of an important business trip,
and hies himself away to where spring
is being born again, where young life
runs riot in the lush growth along
the meadow streams and where the
trout lurk in the quiet pools below the
ripping rapids.

WHEN THE TIDE Is IN

The boats lay stranded on the beach,
Tangled with seaweed dark and
green;
A desolate and dreary scene
AS far as the eye could reach;
The tide was out.
How changed the view when day is
done.
The boats rode gaily in the deep,
Their white sails nodding as in sleep,
Kissed by the setting sun;
The tide was in.
Thus many life. in want or woe,
Lies stranded on the barren shore;
But God is God forever more
Take courage for we know
The tide is coming in.
And lifted from the rocks and shoals
We sail upon the sunlit sea;
Night opens on eternity
Sweet rest for weary souls
The tide is in.

vocate.

That Jefferson Day dinner OF the
Central Democratic Club was joyous
and vociferous occasion. 1t was all
that the club had anticipated in the
way of attendance and enthusiasm, and
while the promised land is still in the
distance for many of those who sat
around the board, the speeches were
all of the sort that please a political
organization under such circumstances.
There were some concealed weapons,
of course, but these were not permitted
to disturb the harmony of the dinner.
1t was a weil-staged affair and from
the standpoint of the local Democratic
organization was a success
