BRYAN ANp THE rExANs.

CEcRETAItY OF STATE BRYAN is a Democrat
- Texas is the banner Democratic State in the
Union. That FL Paso mass meeting to discuss the
Mexca situation and the Bryan policy in dealing with
it was made up largely OF irreconciabIe Democrats
It's action in denouncing Bryan is made all the more
significant by that fact
Those Texas Democrats accused Secretary Bryan of
having persstently suppressed concerning the
true conditions in Mexico; of having ondeavored
through inspired newspaper articles and by other
means TO mislead the American people of having
tried TO form public opinion for political purposes in
support of policy that is ruinous to all foreign in
terests in Mexico and the Mexican people themselves
and OF having made statements which were absolutely
false
That is rather scathing indictment to come from
Democratic source against Democratic Secretary
OF state II certainly cannot be construed to be an
evidence Of Democratic harmony

Negroes Who Are Said to
Have Confessed Face Jury
on Wednesday
ELKTON COURT ALSo
TO HEAR ARSON CASE

ELKTON, Nd, Mar. 2.-The spring
term Of Circuit Court for Cecil coun-
ty, which convenes here today, will in
all probability be the most sensa-
tional one in this section for some
years. The Coleman murder case,
removed here from Kent county, and
the arson case of Mrs. Virginia Rut-
ter. a society woman of Philadelphia,
are the most important on the blot
ter.
The trial will open Wednesday.
Norman Mabel and Joseph Park
away. two young negroes. will be
tried on a charge of the murder of
James r. Coleman, a well-to-do FARM
er residing near Melitota. Both are
said to have confessed and are con-
fined in the Baltimore City Jail for
safekeeping. After it became known
that the negroes had committed the
crime, feeling ran high among the
Kent countians, and threats Of
lynching were freely heard on every
side. In fact, the only thing that
saved the negroes from being lynched
was because the mob which sur
rounded the Chestertown Jail during
the night that It became publicly
known that the negroes had made a
confession. lacked a leader An ef-
fort was made by a few members of
the mob to break into the jail, but
they we're driven of. The windows
were riddled with bullets.
Mr.. Coleman met death while driv-
fs.r al
The court requested Governor
Goldsborough to send a battalion of
militia to Chestertown. and under
their escort the negroes we're re-
moved to Baltimore.
States Attorney Vickers. of Kent
county, will be assisted in the prose-
cution by States Attorney Henry l..
Constable, of this town.
The arson case to be tried is an
other sensational affair. One day last
June, Sheriff J. VIII Perkins, of Elk
ton, was summoned to Woodlawn,
Cecil county, to investigate the burn
ing Of the summer home of Mrs.
Josephine Maurer. of Philadelphia.
UDon the arrival of the officers on
the scene they found that neighbors
had succeeded in quenching the
flames after a portion of the build
ing had been burned. It was plain
" visible that coal oil had been free
" used and that the fire had been
started in several different places in
the building. A little later the Of
foers also learned that Mrs. Virginia
Rutter. aged 46 years. of Philadel-
phia. and her colored maid. Mollie
Simms, who had been in the house,
had gone to Perryville. where they
boarded a northbound train over the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington Railroad. Upon the arrival
of the train al Wilmington, the wo-
men were placed under arrest and
brought that afternoon to the coun-
ty Jail here John Henning. chauf-
feur for Mrs. Rutter, was also ar,
rested and brought TO me Elkton
Jail. The chauffeur was released
after proving that prior to the time
the fire started he was sent on an
errand to Port Deposit. The grand
jury indicted both women
Mrs. Josephine Maurer. who owned
the house at Woodlawn. is a niece Of
the accused. She furnished the bond
for her aunt's release. II is claimed
that the house was insured for $3.50,
and there was $4,000 on the furni-
ture. When the officers arrived at
the house they found practically no
furniture in the building.

MARNING AND PRECEPr.

ID RoFEssoR JOHN FIsKE, in his Critical Period
i of American History wrote:
II the day should ever arrive (Which God forbid
when the people Of the different parts of our country
shall allow their local affairs to be administered by
prefects sent from Washington, and when the self
government Of the States shall have so far lost
as that Of the Departments OF France or even so far
as that of the counties Of England on that day tho
progressive political career of the American people
will have come to an end and the hopes that have been
built upon 1t for the future happiness and prosperity
OF mankind will be wrecked forever
Being more or less a historian himself and also
the author Of "The New Freedom" President Wilson
might profit both himself and the nation were he TO
commit that Fiske warning to memory and apply its
precept to his daily official life.

WHERE ARE THE Low PRTcEsl

TT on WILLIAM c. REDFIELD, OF New York, Sec
retary Of the Department Of Commerce in the
Wilson administration makes hot denial that the I'm
derwood tariff has caused business depression. He in
ssts that the foremost effect Of the new tarif has
been to increase tho American food supply In
speech made recently by him before the Chamber OF
Commerce in Hamilton. o.. Secretary Redfeld said
Take the last three months Of 1912 and the last
three months OF 1913 In the former imported 112-
600 CATTLE IN tho latter. 341O 900. In the former we
brought In 253O00 bushels Of in the latter
4470.OO0 bushels Of corn. In the former brought
In lS600 bushels Of in the latter, t3,230,O00
bushels OF oats; IN 1872 about 39999O0O pounds OF
rice, rice -four and rice meal; in 1913. 64,5O0,OO0
pounds In the last three months or 1912 we brought
in $4,000 pounds Of fresh meat in the last three
months Of 1913 brought in 3350GO00 pounds Of
fresh meat In the last three months Of 1912
brought IN not quite 200 bushels Of potaoes the
last thee months OF 1913 we brought in 2Ss0,0OO
bushels Of potatoes.
Yes. increased the food supply with foreign grown
products but what has become those lower prices
for the ecessaries Of life that promised to the
people by President Wilson and those who we're au-
thorzed to speak for him in the 1912 campaign, and
since? We invite the attention consumers to the
figures cited by the distinguished defender Of or
apologst for, the Democratic tariff and ask them
whether they have experienced a corresponding
cheapenng In the retail market prices of beef corn
and corn products, oats and products rice rice
flour rice meal fresh potatoes If the con
sumers not to have lower prices to compensate
them for the flooding Of the American markets with
these foreign-grown products why should the tariff
bars be lot down? II asserted in behalf of the
Wilson administration that lower prices inevitably
would result from such heavy importations and that
what our catte-raisers and farmers would lose the
great mass Of the people would gain. Well We have
the heavy importations under Democratic auspices
It is clearly the duty Of the Democratic party TO pro-
duce the low prices these foreign-grown commod-
ties which enter vitally into the domestic economy
Of the nation. Without them the Democratic tariff
is both failure, an injury and insult

S. |. RY PLANS
NEW SERVICE
President D. c. Corbin Advocates
Eighteen Hour Service Between
Calgary and Spokane
SOO-SPOKANE TOO EXPENSIVE
Corbin's Plans Up Before Board
Of Directors
Board

The last Soo-Spokane trains pass
ed through Boomers Ferry We'd
nesday evening as was announced
in last week Herald. With the
discontinuance of the through train
from Portland to St. Paul comes
the announcement from President
Corbin, of the Spokane-Interna-
tional railway, that his company is
planning to put on a through train
from Calgary to Spokane with II
or 10 hour service.
The discontinuance of the 500
Spokane train has but little effect
upon train service from Boomers
Ferry. If the new plan of a
through train from Calgary ma
terializes it will mean an improve
ment over the old 500 train.
In making his announcement
President Corbin had the following
to say yesterday morning in Spo-
kane:
l am advocating to the directors
the matter of putting on a through
train from Spokane to Calgary.
If my wishes are acceded to
this will be frst-class train, with
dining car and sleepers with a II
or IS hour service between points
and will materially improve the
present service, which calls for
more or less unsatisfactory connec-
tons at Mcleod.
In the discontinuance of TIE
Soo-Spokane service, which takes
effect this week, we have cut off an
unnecessary expense which the
business did not justify. The 500
Spokane is an expensive train to
operate, and has been running at a
loss which our directors think has
not been justified.
! will say this, however, that
just as soon as business conditions
warrant and the Soo-Spokane SER
vice is needed the train will be put
back. Z"

SPOKANE HERE FEBRUARY ID
Biggest Game Of Seasoa--Au Star
Team to Play

Coach J. E. Carlson OF the Bon.
ners Ferry team has about COM
pleted arrangements with Coach A.
c. Woodward of the North Central
High School of Spokane for a
game of basket ball to be played
here February 14th.
If the plans materialize this will
be the biggest game of the season,
and with mixed lineup of all
stars the Boomers aggregation
should give the Spokane team a
close game. Spokane has one of
the strongest teams in the Inland
Empire having having defeated the
fast Kalispell, Montana and Win
chester, Ida, teams and have lost
but one game this season, namely
to the Nez Perez Idaho high
school team by a close score.
With this record it is evident they
play good ball.
Coach Carlson has both local
teams at every practise and by
February 14th will have selected
the best lineup that has ever repre-
sented this city in basketball con-
test. DeWolfe, star forward of
the city team will be the nainstay
for the locals. Jarvis, Kent and
Campbell will all be given trial
at the forward positions. Slim"
Jarvis, and Norton will divide
honors at center, while O'Callag-
han, Bangs, Cay and Heather
shaw will work at the guard posi-
tons. Every member is playing
an excellent game and the hardest
problem will be to select the best
possible winning combination. No
announcement OF the possible line
up will be given until the next
issue.
The management is under extra
heavy expenses in bringing the
Spokane team here as they are
playing but two games on the trip
at Kalispell and Boomers Ferry.
An admission price of IS cents
for adults and rs cents for students
will be charged. Let's all go and
help Boomers win the game. The
more rooters" we have the larger
our score.
