CLEOFES JIMENEZ
POLICEMAN AT TIME
Other Indicted Man Has Not
Appeared; Judge Abbott
Scores Lynching OF Padilla
as Attack on Court

The appearance of Cleofes Ji-
menez in the district court Mon
day morning to enter plea to the
indictment of murder of Adolfo
Padilla on March 81, 1914, when
mob law resulted in a lynching,
added an unusual touch of inter-
est to the opening of the March
term of the court by District
Judge E. C. Abbott, Jimenez
entered a plea of not guilty. The
other man, against whom an in
dictment was found by the grand
jury Saturday, did not appear to
plead this morning.
The killing of Padilla was one
of the sensations of the southwest
about a year ago, and in COM
menting on the work of the grand
jury which indicted two men as
being participants in this mob
violence, Judge Abbott defined
his attitude on the subject, Sat-
urday afternoon, in open court,
the Judge said he had no SYM
pathy with those who expressed
the opinion that Padilla, accused
of killing his own wife, had
received his just deserts when he
was lynched. The judge said he
considered the mob violence an
attack on the court itself and
added. Therefore | fully ap-
prove the idea of trying to bring
to justice those engaged in this
crime. No community can toler-
ate mob law"

0@ March lU.-At and
near the naval base at Guanta-
mano, Cuba, the United States
has modified the most power
full battle feet ever gathered
together in the history of navies,
according to a statement issued
today by secretary of the navy
Daniels. It is from this fleet
that a battleship and a cruiser
have been ordered to proceed
to Veracruz in view Of the Mexi-
can developments.
Developments in the situa-
ton today were awaiting Gen.
Carranza's answer to the Ameri-
can note demanding an improve
ment of conditions in Mexico
City. There were indications
that the reply would be favor
able.
Conflicting dispatches as to
the evacuation OF Mexico City
during the last "a hours caused
much doubt. A dispatch from
Veracruz Tuesday at 10 a. m.
indicated Gen. Oregon was
still in control. The Villa
agency had dispatches from
Juarez saying Obregon's troops
had evacuated Tuesday and
we're replaced by Zapata troops.
MEXICO CITY IS STARVING
The Mexican Red Cross to-
day appealed to the American
Red Cross through Secretary oi
State Bryan, for food for the
starving populace in Mexico
City. The appeal said the
famine in the Mexican capital
was rapidly growing worse
Secretary Bryan said the state
department would cooperate
with the Red Cross as far as
possible.
Advices at Veracruz indicated
that the negotiations were lr
progress which probably will
make possible the export o
sisal fibre from Progreso, the
Yucatan port blocaded by Ca
rranza's orders. For the pre-
sent, however, Carranza refuses
to permit the steamer Moro
Castle to call at Progreso O
grant clearance papers to the
Pathfinder from Veracruz to tn,

Only a Crucifix
Escapes Shell Fire

With the sole exception Of a
crucifix which was untouched,
everything at the church at
Messines, Belgian town six
miles out Of Ypres, was destroy
ed as a result of fire following a
bombardment Of that place by
heavy guns, according to a re-
port of the eyewitness, with the
British headquarters staff, whose
story this week includes a des-
cription of the remarkable re-
sistance of medieval buildings

Great blocks Of masonry we're
blown off the Messines church,
the belfry was shot away, and
the interior was completely
purned out, but the framework,
though irregular in outline and
full of gaping holes, is still
standing, the writer says, defiant
amid the surrounding ruins.

TO
TESTIFY AGAIN
Evelyn Nesbit ThawAssertS She
Will Do What She Can to
Aid Slayer

S(EW York, N. Y, March
- o.-It was announced
today by an official Of the dis
trict attorneys office that, in all
probability, Evelyn N es b t
Thaw would appear as wit
ness in Thaw's behalf in his
present trial.
In previous proceedings af-
fecting Thaw's liberty, Evelyn
Nesbitt Thaw has appeared
against him. A week ago a
process server from the dis trict
attorneys office called on Mrs.
Thaw with a oubphoena bidding
her to appear at the trial tor the
prosecution. She was quoted
as having said:
II am tired of this case. |
think H rry is being prosecuted
and if | take any interest what
ever in it, it will be to do what I
can for him | think he has
been confined long enough, and
if his lawyers want me, | will dc
anything [ can for him.
THAW THREATENED HER
Mrs. Thaw Immediately after
the escape of her former hus-
band, claimed to be in fear of
her life, saying she had received
threats that Thaw would come
to New York and kill her.
Mondays court session was
taken up with attempts to secure
a jury. Thaw was cheerful
throughout the proceedings and
occasionally helped his counsel
pick the jurors.
DESCRIBES THAW'S ESCAPE
Assistant attorney general
Kennedy, in his statement to
the jury, described the escape ol
Thaw. He told how Thomp-
son hired the big automobile in
which Thaw fled and how the
alleged conspirators gathered al
the town CT Beacon, adjoining
Matteawan, the day before the
escape. Then he told how
Thaw leaped into a machine
and fled when a milkman open
ed the gate leading to the malr
yard Of the hospital.
Thaw later appeared at Len
OK, Mass, where he registered
under an assumed name, Sale
Kennedy. He sketched com
pletely the subsequent event:
leading to Thaw's arrest II
Canada and the legal step
since then.
SAYS THAW IS INSANE NOW
Kennedy said the state woul'
offer evidence to prove tina
Thaw not only was insane a
the time Of his escape, but tina
he was insane now. That
+ however, the assistant attorne
general said, did not excuse hir
from conspiring to commit crime
+ for, according to the law, an ir
sane person is responsible for

Put Your Hammer Away

An exchange remarks as fol-
lows:
When Cain had killed off
one-fourth Of the people on the
earth, leaving only three, then
went into the land of Nod and
builded a city, it is evident that
he did not sit aroundlike a bump
on a log and growl about the
Nod real estate and people. He
was not himself, perhaps the
most exemplary of men, and il
he had some reason to emigrate
from the land of his birth, he
did not NOPE and whine, but
got hold Of a piece Of ground
and went to work to do some
thing. The man who could build
up city under such auspices is
the kind OF material we want in
this town; and we will not in
quire too minutely into his ante
cedents, so that he takes hold
like a man and be good at least.
But what is more, Cain did not
advise his son to ego west and
get out of the dead old town.
He named the city after him,
believed in it, worked for it,
subscribed for the local paper.
bought his goods there and kept
his money at home.

JEWISH NEW YEAR, 5676, BEGINS ON
 WEDNESDAY, 9TH
Oldest of All Festivals Will Be Properly Observed, ,in
 Pine Bluff.

Preparations are being made 'by the the celebration of the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashona, marking the be- ginning Of the year 5676, which falls on Wednesday, September s. Serv- ices will be conducted at the Jewish temple of the congregation Anshe Emeth, by Rabbi Joseph. Jasin, formal notice of which will be given within the next two or three days.
 The Reformed Jews celebrate but one day at New Years, while with the Orthodox it is customary to have a tWo-day observance. Visiting fam lilies in the afternoon is a usual faa- ture Of the day.
 The. Central Conference of Amer ican Rabbis has prepared the fol- lowing statement explaining the fes- tival:
 Tt will begin on Wednesday even ing. September 8, with an ornate sol emn service in the temples and syna- gogues. The Thursday morning serv- ice comprises more elaborate form of worship and combines scIe ves- tiges of antique ritual with express sions of human experiences and feel ings true and real for everybody and at all times.
 "The Jewish New Years festival is the oldest of all festivals celebrated in the civilized world. But it is unl- que for it's significance as we'll as for it's antiquity. The secular New Year (January D is day of gratifica- tions; men rejoice in what they have it is day for soydid inven- tories. The Jewish New Years day, howsver, is g, time for serious thought on the meaning of life;, it evokes pious contemplation of the difficult and inevasible problems as to right and wrong and its appeal is not that we should get more out of practical

 The ,antiaua. features of the ritual of the day express the aspirations all msn feel equally. The trumpet calls, constituting the central part in the worship of that day, are appeals for the moral stir Which men should feel when they contemplate their exps- riehces and seek for reinforcement of their hopes The calls are also an appeal to the large sense of life. Our weekday wishes and prayers are 'seifA Acentered and do not give us a perspective of ftour relations and yobl1- gations to the community and fellow man, and of their influence upon us. But the New Years day offers us an occasion to reaffirm our respect for and trust in Providence which is the organization of all lives into an all- encompassing justice. The Jew com prehends this as a comfort in the case of rlisfortunes, and as monition in the success, he, may>have. The function of the New Years day is to establish a moral judgment in our life and ex- periences."
