As the horses were alleged to have been taken from this pas ture, however, and county records showed it to belong to the state of Texas, Mrs. Vergara filed an affidavit charging Cap- tain Rodriguez and three of his men with horse theft.
 Governor Colquitt requested permission of the United States department to send Texas rangers across the border to pursue the 'abductors and murderers" ot Yer gara, and was told by Secretary of State Brya that the United States government alone cared to take authority for sending an armed force into a foreign country. Later, when Mrs. Vergara made the charge of horse theft, Governor Colquitt asked of the state department whom the United States recognized as constituted authority in northern Mexico" so that he might make requisition under the Mexican treaty. for the men named. This question Was never answered to the satisfaction of Governor Coiqritt and the governor an- nounced that to solve the question he would requisition both the federal and consttutionalist governors of the states of Neuyo Leon and Chihuahua. This was on Friday, and so far IS known, the reuui- sition has not been issued.

to expedite matters, President Comp.

up Of three delegates from each of the

that the anti-Gompers delegates will

on the part OF the opposition which Is
chiefly conferred in the United Mine

secured all that labor has right to

WILL EXTEND BUSINESS

This will be strictly Made in Amer

made in the effort to extend the
trade Of the United States to the
South American countries. The cost
Of the trip has been figured at about
$500.
The Fidelity Trust Co. Of Balti-
more has sent out the letters stating
that the company has chartered the
steamship Finland, vessel OF $4,000
tons displacement and Of American
build and register, for tour around
South America. The vessel sails
from New York, January q, from
Baltimore, January 20, and will COW
er distance of 1870 miles, visiting
all the important ports in the south
ern continent and several in the West
Indies The homeward voyage will
be through the Panama canal. The
trip will consume 106 days, Of which
So days will be actual steaming time
and 81 days will be spent In the DIFF
ferent ports.
The tour is arranged for the pur-
pose Of enabling bankers, manufactur-
ers, exporters and importers, to be-
come acquainted with the economic
resources of Latin-America and to OBJ
tain a comprehensive knowledge of
the possibilities OF that market. The
letter states that an important fea-
ture Of the trip will be special ar
rangements for exhibits of goods
Made In u S. Al. The letter states
that the company will be glad to an
swer inquiries regarding reservation.
The minimum cost Of the entire trip
is $500.
AS it will be impossible to take the
power house along on the trip. and
as the season for bottling electricity
was short, it Is not likely that Keo-
kuk will send a representative on this
million dollar trade trip.
