NEGRO SLAYER IS
 HELD WITHOUT BAH,
Body of Clara Simpson Is Viewed By 1000 Curious Negroes

1 Walter Simpson, colored, slayer of his wife, Clara Simpson, instantly killing her Friday night at her home No. 619 Scull street, was yester- day given a preliminary hearing be- fore Magistrate J. A. Frazier and held to the grand jury without bail |. The coroner's jury found that the woman met death. at his hands and the jurymen recommended that Simpson be held without bail. He was during the morning transferr ed to the county jail to be held there until the grand jury takes action on the case.
 Simpson, who had been separated from his wife, had gone to her home and following conversation with her at the home, went outside and fired at her through window, wit nesses claim, while she was attempt ing to hide from him.
 The remains of the woman, which were taken to the Holderness Under

taking Company, were viewed yes- terday by very large number of colored people. While there was no estimate kept on the number viewing the body it is said that fully 1000 people filed in and out of the under taking establishment during the day. The remains were taken last night to Dermott and the funeral will be held today few miles from that place. The woman it is said had been in Pine Bluff about four years and came from that section.

|NEUVEO LAREDO IS |
 HELD BY fEDERALS Rebels, After Two Days Siege and Much Loss,
 Retire. ARE AWAITING AID 
Machine Guns Used In Fights, MOW Down Large Lumbers of Soldiers
 When Manncdlby Frenchmen.

Laredo, Texas, Jan. 3.-After a two days assault on the federal en- trelchment of Neuvo Laredo in a futile attempt to capture that city, the rebel army under General Con- zales, after losing about 600 killed and as many wounded, have retired down the river. Latest telephone ad- vices received tonight are to the ef- feet that they are % miles away and still marching southward in the di- rection of Matamoras, from when they came.
 Colstitutionalist officers who were here today stated that the rebels would retire to point a certain dis tance down the river, and there await the arrival of reinforcements of cavalry and artillery, and then return and make a second attack on Nuevo Laredo.
 Each time they stormed the battle
 ments of the federals, the rebels
 were repulsed with heavy losses a1d l each time they realized their fight was futile one and-~that they were paying a heavy toll. # Some of the finest machine gur operation ever witnessed, took place during the different battles. One
 gunner alone, Frenchmal, moved down forty federals who had cut him off.
 During the two days fighting on the outskirts of Nuevo Laredo the federal loss in killed is estimated at about 200, or one-third of rebel loss while the federal wounded aggre- gate about 400 and the rebel wound ed 500.
 This afternoon on the battlefield south of the National Railway shops in Neuvo Laredo, grewsomc svene was witnessed occasioned by the numerous funeral pyres that dot the field. While it was reported that
 less than 200 were killed on the morning of January 1, neverthless il is said that over 400 bodies are furnishing fuel for the funeral pyres. Every available wagon and dray in Neuvo Laredo have been pressed into service to transport the dead bodies to places, where they
 are put in heaps and burned. Some of the vehicles were used to bring in the wounded, there being among
 these unfortunates, men who were moved down in battle fighting and have since lain on the field without being given any attention.

HoU E. O. Woods Last Attempt
To KNIFE Wilson, With Murphy
And Taggarf Present Failed

In the campaign OF 1912 for dele
gates to the Baltimore convention
TO name the Democratic candidate
for president, Wood. Shields and
Connolly. the reactionary organi-
zation leaders who are behind the
candidacy OF Gov. Ferris now for re-
election. had things nicely arrang-
ed.
They were for anybody BUT
Woodrow Wilson for the nomination
and this is how they worked IL:
Wood was for Clark. Shields was
for Marshall and Connolly was for
Harmon.
This fact is well-known as ancient
history. but a writer in Harper's
Weekly comes forward this week to
show us how far the Michigan gang
carried its opposition to Wilson.
William T. Ellis is the writer. and
he relates an incident while the
convention was deadlocked, showing

under the banner raised by his
crowd In Michigan, Anybody but

Ellis tells Of an attempt to spring
a dark horse when II seemed the
convention could no longer hold out
against Wilson--this dark horse to
be A. Mitchell Palmer. of Pennsyl-
vania.
This Is the way he relates t.:

Prepare For a Rush to
America When War Ends

Before the war started. there were
more women in Europe than men, BY
the time II ends. the discrepancy win
be much greater.
Moreover. the women In the war.
harried nations will have had SO
much Of militarism. will have been
so wearied and worn by grief and
suffering, that many OF those who
have the means will want to get out
OF the horror zone. Unmarried wom-
en- will not wish to marry and bear
children to be fed into soldiers
graves.
Therefore. foreseeing folks are pre-
dieting rush Of emigration TO Amer
lea, with women emigrants outnum-
bering the men. II this guess comes
true II will also be likely that much
OF this immigration OF women will
enter poorly equipped for self-sup-
port and liable to fall an easy prey
to the American exploiter.
An over-supply Of cheap and poor.
ly informed women toilers would put
a strain on the efforts Of those who
have been striving to build up safe
guards around the American standard
OF living and around the mothers a.
the future. I
The fact that such prospect =
foreseen should warn us all to lose
no time In advancing minimum wage
laws for women and more stringent
protective legislation for children.
IL II Is wise, In time Of peace, to
prepare for war. then reversely, In
time OF war, we should get ready Tor
the obvious consequences Of peace.
We may not want to close Amer
ica's door Of hope In the faces Of
these fleeing women: but II we admit
them. we surely should do what we
can to save them and ourselves from

Br gibson GARDNER,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-To what
extent shall the United States send
gold abroad In payment Of its oblisa'
lions? This Is the real question which
has brought Sir George Paish from
England to consult with President
Wilson and Secretary McAdoo.
We have collected gold ready to pay
and are quite solvent. The so-called
Forgan bankers committee passed the
hat, a. IL were, among American bank
ers. and gold was subscribed for the
purpose of working out foreign ex-
change problems to the sum OF $780,

ct. Louis $4,000, 900, San Francisco Va
500 ZOO, and Pittsburgh $3.000.00O.
II Is all fine to pay our foreign debts
In gold. but how about getting pay
ment from foreign debtors? Import

actually forbidding expectations OF
