BODY IS FOUND
IN OLD C|STERN
BELIEVED To NJ THAT OF MAN
NAMED LAMBERT RECENTLY
FROM THuRBER.
BADLY DECOMPOsEO
VIII BE Removed Today and Buried,
Near the Cistern-Nian Disap-
rearcd Two Weeks Ago
While ut Work.

]. p. Bellew of the Mt. Peak COM
munity. came to town Tuesday morn
ing to report to the proper authori
ties the finding of the body of a man
in a cistern on the Ben Lancaster
place. two and a half miles south
east of Mt. Peak. While absolute
Identification had not been made at
that time IL is believed the body Is
that of man named Lambert. who
disappeared two weeks ago. Lam
bert and his family came from Thur
Der to pick cotton for Walter Nor
gan, renter on the Lancaster place.
and when cotton beian to get thin he
vas set to gathering corn and disap-
peared about IL O'Clock two weeks
| ago today. When his team was
found wandering about the field with
his jumper hanging on the back of
the wagon, search was instituted
for him which included a look and
scme poking around into the old els
tern, but failed to reveal mis- body.
However. when Pete Stanb6ry, a
brother-in-law of Morgan's, visited
the old cistern late yesterday he saw
| a body of a man floating on the top
o; the water. BY the time assist
ance could be procured it was dark
and complete identification could
not be made but people on the
place were pretty well assured
that it was the body of Lam
bert. though badly decomposed. The
| body was allowed to remain in the
cistern all night and had not been
removed up till IL O'Clock today.
Arrangements were being made
for immediate burial, which was cy-
pected to take place as soon as the
body was taken from the cistern
about noon today.
Mr.. Bellew summoned the justice
CT the peace from Midlothian, but
that official found that the cistern
was not located in his district and
he turned the jub over to the justice
Of the peoce at Maypearl. who went
to the scene this morning TO view
the body after 1t had been removed
from the cistern.
Lambert was a married man and
Lad several children. He left these
destitute and the wife, believing her
husband had abandoned her had sent
to her people in Nebraska for money
with which to return to that state.
The dead man has sister in Thur
Der and one in Nebraska.
The cistern in which the body was
found Is located in the midst of the
field. There was no curbing around
it, but it was plainly visible because
OF the lack of cultivation close to it,
the weeds and vines having grown
up around it but not overlapping.
1t is about ten feet to the water
which is said to be some four or five
feet deep. This fact, however, was
not definitely known. The water
may hav been six or seven feet deep.
1t was the purpose of Mr.. Bellew
to have the body removed from the
cistern and buried on his land
close by.

BERLIN, Jan. 27-Official reports say five to six hundred yards of the French trenches were stormed by the Gerrans in the vicinity of Neuville and French counter-attacks failed. The French assert the Germans were driv- en back. The British report the occu- patton of German positions in the Neu- vile region. Considerable fighting is reported on the Russian front from Riga to East Galicia with no important results on either side. Austro-Italian Caucasus and Balkan fronts are quiet. The British labor congress, while op- posing the military bill. defeated the proposal of workingmen to agitate for repeal King George said in his pro rogation of Parliament until February 15..

MAIL PROTEST FILED WITH
 BRITAIN
Sharp Note is Sent American Ambassador for Transmits sion to England on Interfer- ence with U. 5. Mails.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The text of the American protest to Great Brit ain on interference with neutral mails was made public tonight. It reveals that diplomatic and consular pouches were treated in manner which the United States considers as ''vexatious- ly inquisitorial." The note describes the practices of British officials as "unwarranted interference" and as urgently requesting a prompt reply"
 It points out that strong feeling was aroused in this country by the loss of valuable letters. It says for eign banks are refusing to cash Amer ican drafts because there is no assur- ance that drafts are secure in the mails.
 The United States declares parcel post articles are entitled to exemption of national trade. It denies the right of Great Britain to take a neutral ship into British jurisdiction for the pur- pose of search and then submitting them to local censorship regulations. It also denies the British government has any authority over neutral sealed mails on ships merely touching British ports The American note is in the form of a memorandum to Ambassador Page at London. instructing him to file formal and vigorous protest"

r FORE|GN TRADE DEPENDS LIN
 TARIFF
Legislation Needed to Prevent Discrimination by Foreign Countries Says Speaker at Trade Convention.

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 27.-"If we are to maintain after the present war the foreign trade we may establish it seems imrcIative that we have means at our disposal to prevent foreign coun tries from discriminating al will a. gainst our products" said J. J. Gull bertson. President of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' Association. in an address before the National For eign Trade Convention here today. This we cannot wo under the present tariff act" he asserted. since this act contains no provisions under which preventative action can be taken" Mir Culbertson continued:
 "The tariff act of 1909 empowered the President to increase the minimum duties on imports from any foreign country that discriminated unjustly against the products of this country. By the application of the maximum tariff. equivalent to an addition of 25 per cent. ad val. the power given the President was too great and too un- wieldly. to apply in practical and sat isfactory manner. It placed in his hands the retalistory means of insti- tuting an increase in all importations from an offending country. but not on any specified articles or part of such importation.
 When the tariff act of 1909 was uassed the President temporarily with held the benefit of the minimum tariffs from the Dual Monarchy because of unjust discrimination in tariff duties against an important product of msnu- facture of this country. Upon assur- ances that the discrimination would be promptly and satisfactorily adjusted. that country was given the benefit of our minimum tariffs. The diplomatic negotiations dragged for six years be- fore the promises were finally fulfilled and meanwhile the unwarrsnted dis crimiration had wiued out cur trade in that product with that country. The Administration then had the choice of penalizing all imports from that coun- try to the extent of 25 per cent, ad. val. or of permitting such unjust dis crimination because of the absence Of an adequate remedy.
 "Our tariff act today permits any foreipn country to undulv discriminate in any manner it may see fit against any article of merchandise that may be imnorted from this country into

Two Lieutenants Who Swan Rio Grande in Effort to Res cue American Soldiers Must Face Courtmartial.

BROWNSVILLE. Jan. 27.-The ar rest of a Mexican officer. responsible for the seizure of two American sol diers after being decoyed and alleged to have crossed the border was order ed by Colonel Quintanilla. the Carran- ga commander of the Matamoros gar rison. Quintanilla said the officer had disobeyed orders calculated to pro- mote the friendship between Ameri- cans and Mexicans. He said the fact that an American on Mexican soil. un- armed and without clothes, made it plain he was innocent of causing any trouble. The officer. it is understood, denies the Americans were decoyed to the Mexican side, or shots were fired at them.
 None of the bodies of the four sol diers, drowned in an attempted res cue of Americans. were recovered late tonight.

COLORADO LABOR MAN CENSURES
 OFFICIALS
Secretary of Centenial Miners Condemns the Officials of the United Mine Workers. Remarks Expunged.

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 27.-After a bitter attack by E. L. Doyle, secretary of the Colorado Miners, in which he assailed the management of the strike in that state, the United Mine Work CTS of America gave a sweeping vote of confidence to John P. White. presi- dent. and Frank J. Hayes. vice presi- dent. when they approved all acts of the international officers within the labor struggle.
 For more than two hours, Doyle aJ- tackled the acts done by the leaders conducting the strike. He accused them of showing less zeal in the sum- mer of 1914 that at the beginning; and alleged some of the officers urged a plan of settlement injurious to the workers interests. A vote expunging the remarks from record was carried.
 Doyle's attack was one of the sem sations of the convention. The dele gates appeared so eager to vote on the question of approving the acts of the international officers that vice president Hayes was unable to gain the floor to reply. He gave notice he would make a statement later.
 President White. in a heated reply, declared Doyle had done irreparable injury to the struggling mine work CTS of Colorado. Letters. purDortins to have been written by detectives of the National Detective Agency were read by Doyle. in which it was stated the agency planned to have an agree ment made between the operators and the miners of Colorado as was done in one of the West Virginia fields. He did not say where he got the letters. Doyle asked the delefates to remem- her the national officers who were in charge of the Colorado district had hAen in commend of the affairs in West Virginia had no facts. He said tho federal commission. sent to Colo rado bv tho President did not accom-, n'ish anything to help the miners there.
