there is much in this community.
Almost countless numbers of
silos have been built in the com,

where temporary barns were
built by the new settlers large
and modern barns have been con-

Many miles of good roads have
been built in this community
the past five years the principal
one which is the through road
to Bruno and Sandstone, known
as the Elwell road, and which
was built at a cost Of approx
mately $1,000 per mile.
Five years ago there we're two
or three sOcalled automobiles in
the community. Of the two-lung
variety. but since the Elwell
road came through and people
have generally prospered auto
mobiles have constantly been
coming in until now there are
nearly 100 autos here. This is
one thing which greatly reflects
on the prosperity, for, while
some people may buy autos be-
fore they can afford it it is not
a common occurrence in this
country, and the fact that about
100 machines have been added
here in FIVE years-~yes and we
might say in the last three and
one-half years because that is
when they really commenced to

to be made" in this northern
country and cut-over lands. And
while our farmers have been
buying autos they have not neg

have been brought into this COM

0BREC0N REFUSES DISCUSSION OF
 MEXICAN ISSUES
Declares He Will State Atti- tude During Coming
 Campaign.

Nogales, Ariz., May 3O.-General Alvero Oregon, former minister of war in the Mexican cabinet, who has moved to Nogales, Sonora, opposite here, from Hermosillo, declined to- day to discuss the present military situation in Mexico, but stated that he was not endeavoring to dodge the political issues involved and gave to the Associated Press statement re- garding his candidacy for president of Mexico. In his statement, General Obregon said he had authorized no one to make declarations for him re- garding his candidacy but that he has been informed of spontaneous movements in his behalf, originating in various parts of the republic. His statement continues:
 "I have been advised of several poli- tical parties during the last few week announcing their intentions of working on behalf of my candidacy, and other political groups have com municated with me asking for my authority to make similar announce ment. To all of them, have answered as per message transcribed below, WiilSH SeIC to Cile pIeSluellC oI IHe independent party at Vera Cruz:
 "1 have had the satisfaction to learn of the great honor vested upon me by the political party over which you preside, designating me as their candidate for the presidency of re- public during the coming political campaign. In due time. I shall make it known to all political parties and individuals who have designated me as their candidate, what will be my attitude during the coming political campaign. And if, after they are ac- quainted with such attitude, they de- eide to ratify their confidence and adherence to my candidacy, I will, with great pleasure, accept their CO., operation in the campaign
 By the above, it will be seen that l am not trying to evade the coming political campaign and that I only wish to follow line of conduct, which in my opinion, may be the most righteous and which may guarantee the consolidation of our young demo- cracy."

CUMMINGS FLAYS
 REPUBLICANS IN
 ST. LOUIS SPEECH
Urges Support of Wilson When He Returns With
 Peace Plans.

St. Louis, May 30.-Speaking ir support of the league of nations and iscussing party issues here tonight before a public meeting attended by democratic party leaders of Missouri Homer s. Cummings, chairman of the democratic national committee, arraigned republican leaders for at tempting to make the ratification of the league of partisan question, and urged support of President Wilson when he returns to lay the peace treaty before the senate. Chairman Cummings reviewed the work of the democratic administration and sev- erely criticized the selection of re- publican leaders and committee ap- pointees in the new congress.
 "The dying spasms of republican liberalism have ceased and the react ionares are in full c6ntrol of the sen- ate and house," Chairman Cummins declared.
 Replying to criticisms of the league of nations, the chairman declared the high contracting parties have not surrendered their sovereignty with the exception of the right to make war upon other governments without notice.
 The crucial test of those who dis cuss the league of nations he said, was whether their attitude was sym pathetic and helpful or partisan and critical.
 c. 0. P. Makes Concessions.
 Republicans leaders in their efforts to regain mastery of the government, the. chairman asserted, "have made tacit concessions to certain elements, which to say the least, show tenden- cies toward open sedition"
 "Ever since the war began in 1914. our ears have been vexed by the wild cries of the opposition proclaiming a superior brand of patriotism" he said. "and now at the very first sign of a return of partial authority, republi- can leaders in the senate have placed themselves in opposition to a league of nations, and the leaders in the house, have selected for floor leader Congressman Mondell of Wyoming, who voted against the tabling of the McLecore resolution and opposed the selective draft"
 MT. Cummings recited a long list of republican committee appointees who had voted against war measures. The threatened revolt of seven pro- gressive republican senators has been suppressed, he declared, adding:
 "The choice of committee assign ments go to Penrose, Lodge, and Warren.
 "The great outstanding facts of the last six years plead eloquently for the democratic cause" he declared.

ARBITRATION OF DIFFERENCES IN
 STRIKE STARTS
Idle Men Parade Streets and Jeer Workers in
 Winnipeg.

Winnipeg, Man, May 30.-Arbitra- |tion of the differences between the metal trades council of Winnipeg and
 the leading industrial employers was begun officially this afternoon at an hour when tension caused by the gen. |eral strike deadlock, which began May 18th, seemed to be approaching the breaking point
 For the first time since the general 'walkout, crowds of idle men paraded the business district, jeering persons
 doing work usually performed by un- ion men. Some marchers joined dele gation of returned soldiers who went to the parliament building and insist ed that the government "do something lat once." The men were told that the government was considering the ad- disability of legislation to enforce the principle of collective bargaining and that the offer of mediation by execu- tives of the railway brotherhoods
 had been accepted by the leading for ces concerned
 Success of the railway brotherhoods in initiating the first movement to- ward actual arbitration made since
 the strike began, caused city off cials to make changes in the program arranged for today, Nothing was done
 regarding resumption of street car
 service. The matter of immediate dis
 missal of policemen who refused to
 sign the anti-sympathetic strike
 pledge was left for decision a special
 council meeting. The citizens com
 mittee also delayed it's bargare col
 lection campaign.

BELIEVE NEGRO i. HELD RESPONSIBLE
 FOR ROBBER|ES
Chief Stewart Recalls Old Days When Man is
 Arrested.

In the arrest yesterday of Jim Freeman, negro about 45 years of age, charged with burglary and grand larceny, police officers think they have the thief who is responsible for the robbery of number of stores here, as well as two at Grady, and one at Dumas. Freeman was arrested by the police department, and large amount of stolen goods was recover ed The goods were recovered by Chief Stewart and City Detective Lynn, and as it has not been com pletely checked yet, the officers are unable to determine just how much the haul represents. The recovered booty consisted of various kinds of merchandise.
 Freeman was arrested by Chief of Police J. Frank Stewart, and the arr rest is sequel to story which be- gan 25 years ago. At that time, there was a frame building at Third and Main where Froug's store now is. The store was general merchandise store, and was owned and operated by man by the name of Ross, and was called Ross store
 Burglarized Store.
 A series of thefts visited Ross store. and they became almost an ev- cry day occurrence. Ross believed that one of his clerks was responsible for the thieving, and he appealed to the mayor, then l.. E. Goldsmith to set a trap for the thief.
 Accordingly, Frank Stewart, then just young man on the force, was assigned by Mayor Goldsmith to stay in the store and watch. He was told to meet one of the clerks at certain hour when he would be let in the store. Stewart came little earlier than the appointed hour, and while looking over the ground, found the back door of the store open.
 He entered, and just as he stepped inside the door, the negro, who then called himself Archie Butts, came from behind stack of flour sacks.
 "I hit him with green billy" the chief said in telling the story. "and it stopped him for awhile, but the two of us had nasty fight there all by ourselves, before could bring him in. The blow hit him left gash which made scar between his eyes. He has that scar now"
 Escaped From Pen.
 The negro was given 12 years, and after serving about months. escaped from the penitentiary, and has been an escape since. During that time, ac- cording to the negroes story, he has been in Mexico, in show, and pretty muchlyi all over the country,
 Freeman would not admit any thev- ing. "Oh. I'll go to the pen," was all he would say. Occasionally, he would emphatically deny being the man, while at at other times, forgetting himself, he would call the chief by name, and recall some incident of the days when he was Archie Butts.
 McGehee is his home, Freeman states. also saying he owns a restau- rant there. He is believed by the To- cal officers to have burglarized Pruitt and company at Grady, Hellums at Grady, a store at Dumas, as well as several stores here.
