New York, July 3.Bridgie Weber
one OF the three self-confessed accom-.
plices in the plot which resulted in the
killing of Herman Rosenthal, the gam,
bier, has said, according to his attorney
H. I. Marshall, that Charles Becker "had
absolutely nothing to do with the muir
der"
Becker" said Mr. Marshall, "had alb
solutely nothing to do with the murder
of Rosenthal. Bridge Weber, when ne
employed me as his counsel at the first
trial, admitted this to me and said that
he and the others were perjuring them
selves in order to save their skins When
Weber told me that, told him to get
another lawyer.
From that time on my mouth was
sealed | could not speak because of
professional obligations. But had / not
been convinced of Beeker's innocence
would not have aligned myself with the
lawyers in his defence at the second trial
never would have entered the case had
i not known, from what Weber told
me, that Becker was deliberately framed
up by Weber, Harry WALTON, Jack Rose
and Sam Schepps.'
Sam Schepps, the gambler upon whom
the state relied during the first trial of
Charles Becker to corroborate the ties
timony of Jack Rose, Harry Vallon aud
Bridge Webber, the three informers, was
quoted yesterday as saying that he held
"the secret in the Becker ease and
would tell Gov. Whitman should tine
governor ask him to do SO.
II hold the secret of the Becker case
and ! will tell the governor if he asks
me for It," Schepps was quoted as say

lieve it; but as for proof-say, do you
want that | should go so far as to bring
Becker back to Broadway and me take

myself enough in this case, and there's
nothing doing any more"
The Secret" TO which Sehepps was
quoted as having referred is believed to

AMERICANS IN VILLA
COUNTRY IN DANGER

Washington, Oct. 10.-Oficial
advices have been received here
that Argentina, Brazil and Chill
are in accord with the decision Of
the United States to grant recog-
milton to the party led by Gen.
Caranza as the facto government
in Mexico.
1t became known today that
some of the South American gov
eminent long before Yesterdays
conference, at which it was de-
cided to recognize the Caranza
government, had authorized their
diplomatic representatives to IA
vor the recognition of Gen. Caran-
"a to the pan-American delibera-
tions.
President Wilson has not re-
ceived from Secretary Lansing a
report Of the proceedings Of the
final conference, but several days
ago he indicated to the secretary
his acquiescence ip the plan pro-
posed.
The form in which recognition
is to be accorded has not been de-
cided, but it may BE- done by for
NAL notification to Eliseo. Are
dondo, authorized representative
here of the Caranza government.
Extension Of recognition is ex-
pected within a week. This will
result in the immediate order of

out a statement tonight in behalf
of the Villa faction, declaring that
while it was a source of satistaC-
ton that the United States had
shown its sympathy with the Mex
lean Constituencies revolution
against Huerta by recognizing a
revolutionary faction, nevertheless
it was intended to demonstrate by
further military operations that
the Caranza party's supremacy
was temporary!

ENCOURAGING
BETTER LIVESTOCK

In connection with the farm
development work which is being
promoted by the Nashville, Chat
tanooga q st. Louis railway,
looking to improved agricultural
conditions throughout its terri
tory, considerable attention has
been given recently to the intro
duction of pure-bred live stock on
the farms.
At present the road is collect
ing a splendid herd of young
short horn bulls, and this herd
will be placed on the demonstra-
ton farm OF the company at
Decherd, where they will be look
ed after until such time as they
are loaned to the various COM
munities desiring to improve live
stock conditions. A silo has been
erected and modern stock barns
constructed so that the herd will
have the best attention possible.
The Decherd farm consists OF 1870
acres, 100 of which will be in
cultivation next year and the re-
mainder in grass. Under the
supervision Of Special Agricul-
tural Agent Joseph H. Judd it is
proposed to show the farmers not
only how to produce the best
crops, but also how to care for
live stock on the farm, and how
to obtain the best results from
farming and live stock combined.
The plan considered by the
road for placing these bulls with
the farmes is to loan bull to a
communitywhere suficientinterest
has has been manifested in better
live stock, and where the farmers
have purchased several head of
.pure-bred heifers and COWS. 1t is
believed that in this manner the
live stock raised in this section will
show material gains within the
next few years, and incidentally
the railroad expects to reap its
reward in increased movement of
stock.

HON. KENNETH Nc
KELLAR SPEAKS HERE

Local supporters OF Hon. Ken

from the Tenth district, and can
didate for the democratic nomina-
ton for United States senator to
succeed Senator Luke Lea, were
notified by telephone on last Mon
day that Mr.. Mcclellan would
make three speeches in this coun-
ty next Monday, Oct. Is, speak
ing at Greenfield first at 10 a. M,
at Dresden at | p. M, and at

here viii 60 to Martin on the $50
train, arriving at Martin just in
time to begin speaking.
Local supporters Of Mr.. Nickel
lar endeavored to get another date
for this county, since Monday fol-
lows so closely on the heels OF the
fair, all our people besides being
behind with personal affairs, also
being tired and worn out and in
poor spirits for politics or political
speakings. But it was impossible
to set another date, and an ear
nest effort is being made to give
the distinguished gentleman a
large hearing. He is an able man,
a good speaker and all who can
should avail themselves Of this OPP
portunlty OF hearing him.,
1t is persistently rumored, and
truthfully too, that Mr.. Mcclellan
has gained ground rapidly during
the past several weeks. This is
true in Weakley county and the
probability is that after his tour Of
peech-making in this county he
will be much stronger than he is
today. Mr.. w. W. House has
been chosen as Mr.. McKellar's
campaign manager for Weakley

ton, House being one Of those

Chicago Saloon are Kept Closed

Chicago, Oct, 10.-Saloons, ho-
tel and restaurant bars were
closed here today for the first Sun
day in forty-four years, through
an order by Mayor Thompson for
the police to enforce state law
which had been ignored so long
as almost to have been forgotten.
The 1852 saloons have been regu-
lated under a city ordinance,
which required only that they be
closed between l and 5 a'clock
in the morning.
The police received a few re-
ports that saloons in remote
localities had admitted a favored
few customers behind locked
doors, but in the main the order
was rigily observed. No arrests
were made.
Leaders of the liquor interests
sent the word out yesterday that
the law was to be obeyed.

SHERIFF LsFON IS
SUED FOR $4,000.

Suit was instituted in the circuit
court of Galloway county, KY,
last week by Yves Hawks, former
citizen of this county, against
Sheriff Whit LaFon for the sum
of $4,000 Hawks alleging, we
understand, that the sheriff
arrested the formers fifteen-vear-
old boy without authority. Notice
Of the suit was given Mr.. LaFon
last week, at Murray, KY, and
Immediately members of the local
bar rendered their services in
fighting the suit for our very
popular sheriff.
This suit grows out OF the arrest
Of Hawks boy at Grassland, KY,
about a year ago. Deputy U. S.
Marshal Buck Mitchell had a
federal warrant for Yves Hawks,
charged with bootlegging in this
county; Mitchell deputized Sheriff
LaFon to go Grassland with him
to arrest Hawks; upon arrival there
the officers found Hawks, who,
however ran, and when the officers
started in pursuit Hawks boy, a
lad Of about seventeen years, drew
his knife and was about to use it
on Mitchell; the boy was arrested
by Mitchell, who got his handouts
and told LaFon to place them on
the lad, but LaFon refused, saying
he was nothing but a boy and it
was necessary to handcuff him. He
was brought here and placed in
jail, and when the federal grand
Jury convened at Jackson Sheriff
LaFon was summoned to appear
before that body, which he did,
telling the grand jury that the
Hawks boys was a mere lad and
suggesting that he be brought be-
fore the grand jury, which was
done. He was not indicted for in
terfering with an officer in the dis
charge OF his duty.
There were three indictments
pending against Hawks in this
county for selling liquor, two of
them having been quashed some
time ago, but one remains.
Hawks formerly conducted a
grocery store near Wesley's Chapel
tie was frequently in trouble. 1t
was the common talk of the neigh
borhood that he was doing an il
legal business, but somehow Yves
always managed to get by, either
through his shrewdness or because
Of the fact that there was no truth
in the charge.
Friends Of the popular Weakley
county sheriff believe there is
nothing to the suit, except that it
may cause him some worry and
annoyance, but beyond this, moth
ing. He will fight the suit to the
bitter end.

MORE PROFITABLE
FARMING CAMP AIGN

The bankers and business men
Of Memphis, through their Bu-
reau OF Farm Development, will
conduct in November campaign
for more profitable farming in
western Tennessee, northern Mis-
sissippi and eastern, Arkansas.
This campaign will be conducted
in cooperation with government,
state and railroad agriculurists; the
agricultural experts of the lnterna-
tional Harvester Co., prominent
southern agricultural agencies;
banks and bankers associations;
commercial and mercantile organ
izations; leading women clubs,
the schools and rural community
organizations.
Sixty Of the best agricultural
authorities in the country will be
the speakers in this campaign.
They will be divided into groups,
each group holding three or four
agricultural meetings daily. About
100 meetings. will be held each
day.
1t is desired to hold farm meet
ings in every school district and
grand agricultural rallies in every
business center in nineteen coun-
ties in western Tennessee, forty
four counties, in northern Mis-
sissippi and twenty counties in
eastern Arkansas.
Gen. Kizer, assistant U, S. at
torney-general at Memphis, and
Mr.. representing the
bureau Of farm development OF
Memphis, were here Tuesday in
conference with some OF our lead
ing business and professional
men, and arrangements were per.
fected at this conference for the
Inauguration of this great cam
paign for better farming in Weak
ley county, to take place some
time in November.
AS stated above, a large num-
Der of agricultural experts will be
sent here from the Memphis or
ganization, holdinn rallies at the
rural school buildings. 1t is
planned to send these experts out
from Dresden each day. Three
carloads Of books, leaflets, etc.,
will accompany them and these
will be for free distribution.
The advance organizers are ex.
pected here next week, when tn
itinary will be made out and
publication made Of the place
hour and time for each meeting.
The Importance Of this great
move, which is being done at an
enormous expense, cannot be over
estimated, and the Enterprise
sincerely trusts that at each
appointment large crowds will
greet the experts. Especially is it
desired that the women and chill
dren, young men and young
women be present. Watch the
Enterprise for more detailed infor-
nation.
