starving humanity and we
must not fail.
The following is a cable re-

to President Wilson regarding
his request to congress for one
hundred million dollars for.

place of the subscriptions be-
ing asked for relief and rehab.

hope that this subscription will
not in any way be interrupted
or reduced. The need is imme-
diate and very great.
Signed Woodrow Wilson,"

|CROWDER FURNISHES
bond TODET. COURT

District Attorney Palmer
dismissed the suit before Judge
Hender last Saturday in which
w. R. Crowder, general agent
for the Pan Motor company,
appeared in answer to an in
formation issued against him
by E. o. Baker. Crowder had
been arrested at Ordway and
in his hearing here Friday and
Saturday berated everybody
and everything unfavorable to
Pan Motor, declaring that he
was being prosecuted and that
himself and Pan would prose-
cute libel suits and damage
suits until the opposition would
be glad to beg mercy.
The suit was dismissed here
but filed later in the district
court at Del Norte where Mr..
Crowder was asked to give
|ond in the sum of $4,000 to in
are his presence at the next
erm of that court. The bond
was furnished, bondsmen be-
ing Judge Brownell of Alamo
sa, w. H. Fishell and Mr.. Hat
ton of Monte Vista.
1t seems that the specific
charge against Crowder is that
he induced Mr.. Baker to pur-
chase $1,000 worth of Pan
Motor stock upon the represen-
tation that Mr.. Stitt and Mr..
kavalec of the Wallace State
Bank had purchased some of
that stock. Some of the wit
nesses for corroboration were
absent, 90 the State entered q
dismissal.
