JEWELRY FIRM NOT
GUILTY AS TRANSIENT
American Credit Company Wins Case
I'm City Court-Wil Appeal to
Circuit Court.

The American Credit Jewelry CO.
was found not guilty by a special
session of the city court of doing
business as a transient merchant.
The case will be appealed TO the cir
cult court by the city.
Evidence was heard by the court
that the company had purchased
the stock Of Frank c. Toepp through
j. L. Art for a consideration Of S.
OOO. and had re-opened a business
though the corporation itself had
been in business for more than 10
years The fact that Frank Mayr
is one OF the principal stockholders
of the corporation, and he is resi-
dent OF the city and not a transient,
was also considered
The prosecution strove 10 show
that since according 10 the witnesses
OF the defense. the name Credit"
had been dropped, and the proper
tionate ownership of the stock
changed. that the corporation is not
the same one that has been in bust
ness here.
Submitting the same evidence that
had been heard in the first case, J.
L. Art. a stakeholder and officer Of
the company was found not guilty
OF being n transient merchant and
offending against the city ordinance
applying thereto. The Judgment ia
the case charging Art with auction
eering without a proper license was
taken under consideration for
week
II developed that Art has a license
under the name of the American
Jewelry Co, but the ordinances of
the city declare that a license is TO
be granted 20 a person for his per-
sOnaI use. The court asked that the
defense present authorities on the
question.

JANE adams FIRST VOTE
WILL BE CAST FOR WILSON
Sorry Illness
Her from Actively Entering Campaign Presidents Behalf

One Of the hardest Of the many
hard blows dealt the campaign for
Mr. Hughes among women is the
announcement that Miss Jane Ad-
dams, "America's Foremost Citizen"
and one Of Theodore Roosevelt's most
effective heutenants in 1912, is sup
porting President Wilson.
The disposition Of Miss Adams
first Presidential vote, which she is
20 cast in Chicago on November 2 is
naturally a matter of intense inter-
est to every righteous American.
Miss Adams came into promin-
ence in the councils of the Progress
sive party when Roosevelt first an
nounced his divorce from Republican
spoilsmen and representatives of spe-
cial privilege separation since an
nulled by mutual agreement She
became a member Of the Committee
of Nine which Roosevelt named a. his
special advisers in the 1912 campaign
and had an important part in draft
ING the statement Of Progressive
principles, particularly the sections
devoted to social justice, which
played such an important part in the
Progressive Party platform 1t was
she who first put the phrases social
Justice" and Industrial justice" into
the American vocabulary.
Miss Adams is chairman Of the
National Woman's Peace Party. She
feels that because Of the humanitari-
an measures he has put upon the
statute books, and his stand for
broad humanity in all international
affairs. President Wilson should re-
ceive the support Of those who are
sincerely endeavoring 20 improve the
lot of the average American citizen.
In the years devoted to improving
the status Of the vast foreign-born
population whose life eenters in Hull
House, Miss Adams became known
first as Chicago's foremost citizen,
and then was characterized by Roose-
welt as the "Foremoet Citizen of
America" When the Woman's
Board of the Panama Pacific Exposi-
sition met last year to consider the
women who were to be given high
honors, they chose ; las Adams as
one Of the most noted women In the
Western hemisphere.

.ROUSING CROWDS
GREET BARNHART
Congressman Makes Three
Speeches in Flying Trip in
Sixth Ward.

Presenting the record Of the
democratic administration as proof
positive OF the interest Of Pres't
Wilson and the democratic con-
gress in the working classes. and
criticisiug the republican leaders
for their failure to show wherein
the legislation is in error and to
offer remedial measures. Hepresen-
tative Henry A. Barnhart Of ROch-
ester made three rOusing speeches
TO the citizens of the sixth ward
in an appeal for support in the
coming elections.
Enthusiastic audiences greeted
the congressman at each OF the
three halls selected. St Stanislaus
hall, where Mr.. Barnhart first
spoke was crowded, Warsaw hall
held approximately $50 voters and
there were about as many turned
away from Pietrasziwski hall as
found seats within. Before each of
the speeches, men addressed the
audiences in their native languages,
and at the last mentioned hall,
which was visited last, there were
four preliminary speeches.
Most Serious Election.
This Is the most serious Of all
elections held in the last century"
declared Mr.. Barnhart. THE war
will be over no doubt, within the
next four years. We will be the
single great nation unaffected by
its ravages. Who will be the me
diator then? Who would be better
fitted to act as the settler Of the
difficulties than our own Wood
row? The thing that is OF import
ance in these elections is 10 place
a man in the white house who un-
derstands international law and
diplomacy and foreign relations
and who has a cool head and good
judgment. a man who can keep
us out of war and tile Lord knows
how it all will end"
The speaker took some time in
explaining that the legislation that
has been passed in the last four
years has been for the benefit of
humanity, The kind of legislation
that Woodrow Wilson has placed
before congress for passage and in
sisted that thay pass, is the kind
that equalizes the opportunities of
men in all walks of life" In proving
this statement he went to show the
benefits derived from the democrat
ic legislation. A number of benefi-
cial laws passed were treated in
more or less retail.

Bad Man" Killed
 By U. s. Trooper

Marathon, Tex, May 10--Demetrio tDe La Garza, once known as the Bad Man of the Big Bend country met his death in a long range rifle duel with an American trooper on Monday in the hills near Boqufi1as. The cav alrynan not only killed De La Garza but the Mexican's companion as well. De La Garza kept a small trading store on the American side of the Rio Grande but ranchers have long known him as a sInuggler.
 News of his death was brought here today by J. w Gudson, a truck con tractor. M
 De La Garza resented the presence of the American soldiers as border patrol and in Boquillas. he is said to have given advance information to the Villa bandits before their raid. The Villa bands in large numbers are re- ported to be concentrating at Fl Pino, 85 miles souht of Boqui11as.
 There were reports here today that the bandits contemplated further at tacIs on settlements near Presidio, but these are not credited, as army officers believe that the Villa bands will re- treat toward the interior and wait to see whether they are being pursued before beginning new depr redations along the Rio Grande.
