New Orleans.-The United States
court of appeals at New Orleans hand
ed down a decision in the case Of Ha-
ven & Clement, brokers on the New
York cotton exchange. against D. w.
James of Blakely, Ga.
: This suit was brought by the New
York brokers in the United States dis
trict court at Columbus, Ca, some ten
years ago., and has ever since been
stubbornly litigated through the vari-
GUS United States courts, reaching,
finally, the circuit court of appeals in
New Orleans.
The opinion Is Of general interest for
the reason that it sustains, in effect,
the validity of the New York cotton
exchange contract system. The plain
tifs obtained a verdict for $4,000 in
the court below, which was taken up
to the higher court for reversal by the
defendant, Mr.. James, on the PROPOSE
ton chiefly that it "a a New York

New York.-Secretary Of Commerce
Redfeld, in an address before the
Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sci
ences, urged the enactment of more
liberal laws to permit the United
States to regain it's maritime trade.
"Ihe success Of American-owned
vessels on the Great Lakes has been
remarkable" he said. 1T is a fact that
more vessels pass through the river
and canal which unites Lake Huron
and Superior than through the ,Suez
canal.
I'm all that has been said about the
Panama canal, n great factor has
been forgotten. The canal will make
it possible for vessels to make profit

world. In other words, precisely as a
train which may empty and refill It.
self several times en- route, operates
at a special profit, so vessels that may
circumnavigate the globe, loading and
reloading, may find special profits in
the process.
1.-THE carrying of our exports had
provided golden harvests for the for
eign ship owners. If we can apply
to ocean transport the same American
ideas in specialized ships which have
been such a brilliant success on the
Great Lakes, there is little doubt of
our doing as we'll on the sea as we
once did.
"The proposition to create deeper
waterways along an interior line on
the Atlantic coast and thereby unite
by water transit the cities Of this Sec
ton Of the country, Is an excellent
one. I am in favor of 1t.
To prove the prosperous condition
of the United States, Secretary Red

acres In Europe.

abroad iron and steel products at the
rate of ST. 900, 900 a day. The prog
ress Of the country has resulted In a
huge accumulation Of wealth. But 1t
has not gone wholly into the hands Of
a few. The deposits in savings banks

TROOPS ORDERED
TO MEX|C BORDER
TROOPS WILL RELIEVE CAVALRY
AT Ell PASO AND AT
LAREDO.
SOLDIERS TO LEAVE AT once
Seventeenth Infantry at Fort McPher'
son and Ninth Infantry Ordered
in Readiness.

Washington.-Two regiments Of in
fantry were ordered by the war de-
partment to the Mexican border. The
seventeenth, now stationed at Fort NC
Pherson at Atlanta, and the ninth, sta
toned at Fort Logan H. Root, Arkan-
sas, will go to Ell Paso and Laredo,
and relieve the cavalry now there.
Col. John T. Van Orsdale is eligi-
d. BILE for retirement and his successor
has not yet been named.
Lieut.. Col. Henry D. Styer will be
temporarily in command of the regi-
ment. Colonel Van Orsdale's number
will fall to Col. George W. Mclver,
now stationed at Manila, P. I.
The explanations given for the trans
fer of the seventeenth and ninth regi-
ments to the Mexican border are said
to be these:
To prevent Mexican marauders from
crossing over into Texas; to prevent
Texans crossing owe into Mexico; to
repay Senator Morris Sheppard of
Texas for his support Of the Wilson
administration in opposition to Gov
ernor Colquitt.
Senator Sheppard wanted the addi-
tional troops sent to patrol the bor-
der. Since the dash of the Texas
rangers across the international Dor
der to recover the body Of Clemente
Vergara, the American ranchman,
there has been uneasiness in admin
istration circles. Serious conse-
quenc might follow a dash by Texas
into Mexico or Mexicans' into Texas.
Secretary Garrison issued this state
ment:
"To allay as far as possible the
fears Of the people IN the border, the
president took up with me the question
Of sending some additional troops
there. AS a result, I have ordered that
the seventeenth infantry and the ninth
infantry be sent there. The seven
teenth infantry is now at Fort Nc
Pherson, Georgia, and the ninth in
fantry is now at Fort Logan H. Root,
Arkansas, and Fort Thomas, Kentucky.
They will be stationed at present at
Eagle Pass and Laredo, and the caval-
~ now at those places will be relieved
for more extended border work"
The orders for the dispatch Of two
more regiments to Texas will result
in the assembly in that state Of nearly
$4,000 troops, more by 5000 than the
entire force Of the regular army that
sShafter led into Cuba. Nearly 1000
soldiers are in camp at Texas City,
under command of Brigadier General
Funston of Philippine fame. The 9TH
ers are scattered along the border from
Brownsville, Texas, to Nogales, Ariz.,
under command Of Brigadier General
Tasker H. Bliss, the largest garrisons
being maintained at Ell Paso, Nogales,
Douglas, Laredo, Eagle Pass and at
Brownsville, where railroads enter
Mexico.

AMERICANS Invade MEXICO
MOUNTED TEXANS DISINTERRED
CORPSE OF AMERICAN RANCH
MAN AND TOOK 1T AWAY.
Rangers Rode Swiftly and Met With
No Opposition During Their In
vasion of Mexico.

= Laredo, Texas.-Texas rangers, who
secretly crossed into Mexico at night
brought to the American side the mu
tilated body of Clemente Vergara, Tex
as ranchman, and established the fact
Of his execution after he was seized
by Mexican federals.
The rangers were not opposed, &C
complishing their search without the
slightest violence, taking the body
from a grave in Hidalgo cemetery al
most within sight of the Texan Dor
der.
The seizure was Invested Of posi-
bly, grave aspects in international
complications, by reason Of the fact
that the rangers were practically max
ing use Of permission granted official
ly by Mexican federal authorities sew
eral days ago for recovery Of the body
This permission had been given to
United States Consul Garrett at Nue.
VIC Laredo, but he did not get the body
because of what he reported as dan
gers attending search for it in the
immediate vicinity of Hidalgo.
Vergara was shot twice through the
head and once through the neck his
skull was crushed as by a blow from
a rifle butt, and the charred fingers
of the left hand indicated that he had
been tortured before being put to
death.
Identification was made the dead
mans son and by numerous friends,
many Of whom were in IT, party OF
ninety, led by the state boSier patrol
which made the grim journey to the
Hidalgo cemetery during the early
mornig hours. The body was not sc
badly decomposed, despite its three
weeks burial, and in addition to rec
ognizing the features, young Vergara
took a bit of cloth from the trousers
which enclosed the body and matched
1t to the coat which his father had on
the day he crossed the Rio Grande.
The body was brought into the Unit
ed States at a point As miles north
west Of Laredo, opposite Hidalgo and
heal the Vergara ranch. American
Consul Garrett Of Nuevo Laredo, dep
uty sheriffs and other authorities were
waiting to receive it, and, pending the
| arrival Of an undertaken from Laredo
an armed force stood guard over the
body.
