DOG TRAINED TO SMUGGLE LIQUOR
FROM MEXICO IS KILLED BY GUARDS

| Ell PASO, Texas-Training dogs
/ to smuggle liquor across the Rio
| Grande is the latest ruse devised by
the ingenious minds of those who
make their living along the border by
| means of Illicit importation to the
United States of liquor and drugs.
This innovation in line running came
to light at Ell Paso recently when a
Mexican river guard shot g dog
smuggler," in the act of swimming
the Rio Grande with four bottles Of
tequila, a Mexican liquor of cactus
distilIation, tied across his back.
The dog, as the story of his loyal
service to his master is told by
United States customs men, had been
making his nightly trips between
Juarez and Ell Paso with contraband
good for several months. The
strange but regular actions Of the
animal first were noted by customs
officers about two months ago.
Beginning at 2 o'clock in the
morning the dog would begin his
operations. Signal lights flashed by
confederates in the gang of SNUG
glers stationed on each side Of ;le
river always preceded the dogs trip
across the stream. Dashing out of a
cluster of squaIid adobe houses along
the Mexican side Of the river, the
animal would plunge into the Rio
Grande with his load of tequila or
whisky.
Emerging on the American side Of
the river. the well trained Snug
g1er" always was successful in elud-
ing pursuers, who often sought to
lasso the dog, being loath to shoot
the unsuspecting law violator. A
brisk run through valleys and the
line runner would be at his goal,
where he would be unburdened of
his load.
A lapse of a few minutes, Lights
would flash back and forth across the
line, and the dog would make the re-
turn trip, only to repent the former
performance.
The point at which the dog crossed
would be changed by the smugglers

Perhaps indeed these letters are too
enthusiastic. But if so, may not the
writer's be excused in the knowledge
that they wrote in the ecstasy Of re-
lief-in the joy of freedom from
years Of suffering?
One thing is sure. Regardless Of
what they said, the spirit of what
they said is unmistakable. 1t rings
true. Joy, relief, gratitude, happi-
ness!
If they have won this feeling, why
not you? If you could but have the
feeling that inspires such letters,
freely written, what would you not
give? What more indeed can you ask?
Wen not say that these grateful
correspondents are relieved, healed or
cured, but we will say that they are
HAPPY AGAIN, after years of pain

We make no claims. You can draw

Held for Murder in
TRIANGLE Of Love

ROCHESTER,, N. Y. Jan. 10.-A1-
legged actors in q tragic triangle of
love and revenge, James L. O'De1i
and his wife, Pearl, today were,
charged with murder in the first de-
gree, the victim being Edward Kneip,
whose body, marked with many
bruises and stab wounds, was found
yesterday underneath a culvert on
the Mosquito road near here.
The police say they have confess
sions from both O'Dell and his wife.
According to these, the motive for
the crime was revenge for alleged

lice, was taken handcuffed in a taxi
cab to the lonely country road on
pretense of being in custody of
O'DelI, who impersonated an officer,
on a charge Of criminal assault, and
the taxicab dismissed.
Kneip then was handcuffed to a
tree and Mrs. O'Dell beat him with
file about the head until he became
unconscious, the confessions are said
10 ueCIdTG. Inc udHuCulLS IIlGH were
removed an dthe two started away.
O'Del returned to get letter from
Kneip's pocket and started to cut
the clothing from the body. He says,
according to the police, Kneip sprang
to his feet and struck him.
Mrs. O'Del then, says the police,
struck Kneip on the head with the
file and again knocked him uncon-
scious She also took a knife from
the victims pocket and slashed him
several times with it.
The two hid the clothing and
walked to the city. Bloodstained
clothing belonging to O'Dell was
found in their room.
The parties to the tragedy are all
young, O'Dell being twenty one years
of age, his wife eighteen years and
the dead man twenty three years.

REALIGNMENT OF
PARTIES SEEN BY
JIM HAM LEWIS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Realign-
ment of parties at the next election
over the peace treaty issue and the
possibility that President Wilson
may be forced to stand for a third
term were predictions made by
James Hamilton Lewis, former
Democratic senator, from Illinois, in
an interview.
Mr.. Lewis also criticized William
Jennings Bryan for opposing the
president and declared Mr.. Bryan
took the stand he did because his
feelings were hurt.
Cali present organizations of po-
1itical parties are at an end" Mr..
Lewis said. "T predicted some time
ago that the peace treatywould pro-
duce the election issue and that it
would result in many Republicans
becoming Democrats and Democrats
becoming Republicans.
1.-THE words Democrat and RepubIi-
can are only names and do not rep
resent any distinct organization Of
voters.
"The treaty and the fight around
it will make the political alignment
for the coming election. All other
questions will be secondary. The
alignment will be that those who will
be for the treaty will be called Dem
ocrats and those against will be
aligned as Republicans"
President Wilson will not be a
third-term candidate unless condi-
lions force hi INTO, Mr.. Lewis be-
Iieves. The presidents letter to the
Jackson day banquet of Democrats
might lead to a belief that Mr.. Will
son was willing to stand for third
term, Mr.. Lewis said, but declared
the president would respect the anti
third term precedent unless con-
flicts and trouble with this country
from some foreign source growing
out of failure to ratify the treaty
would force him to be a candidate
to carry on the fight"
"In such case, I believe the
president would accept the candi
dacy',' Mr.. Lewis said.
wASHINGTON.-In opening the
speaking program at the jack
son day dinner here Thursday night,
Homer S. Cummings, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, who
will direct the party's 1920 pres
identfal campaign, declared that Gin
evitable impulses" were at work
carrying us each day nearer and
nearer to victory"
Our cause is sacred" he said
"and the contest is but the meas
ur1ng of our own spirits. For the
present, we are enduring, with what
patience we may, an interlude Of
Republican incapacity. The Ameri-
can people havo paid, and are still
paying, a staggering penalty for the
election of a Republican house and
senate in November, 1918. Since
that time, all the processes of gov
eminent have been impaired, the
work Of reconstruction has been de-
layed, the development and extern
sion of American business has been
prevented, and the peace Of the world
has been postponed.

W. ]. BRYAN GIVES
HEARERS OUTLINE
/. Of PARTY PLATFORM

CHICAGO, Jan. 10-william Jen-
nings Bryan enunciated a Democrat
ic platform for the 1920 campaign
here today in a speech before the
Iroquois club.
Encountering a spirit Of only mod
crate enthusiasm in the early part
of his address, Mr.. Bryan cut loose
with his heavy artillery. With a sud
den outburst of enthusiasm the crowd
gave him an ovation and during the
remainder Of his two-hour-and-fif-
teen-minute speech he was interrupt
ed necessarily by applause. About 800
leading Democrats of Chicago heard
the address.
The issues which Mr.. Bryan adj
vanced as more fitting than the
treaty for the 1920 platform in
c1uded:
Government ownership of rail-
roads.
Government ownership Of all util-
tiles where competition is impossi-
BILE, including lighting plants, street
railways, etc.
Legislation to prevent profteer-
ing.
Government machinery for the set
Element of industrial disputes.
Legislation closing the doors Of
free speech and free press to the
advocacy Of violence or overthrow
of the government.
The first part of Mr.. Bryan's
speech was devoted entirely to a
discussion of his Position on the
treaty.
There is no split in the Democrat
ic party, he insisted-just a differ
ence of opinion.
"The Democratic party is built on
the idea that no one man thinks for
everybody" he said. Many of his
audience considered this a direct
slap at President Wilson.
'I have simply suggested a way
out of the treaty deadlock" Mr..
Bryan continued. IT have not de-
parted from the beaten path. have
applied an old principle to g. new
condition.
Whenever a minority has at
tempted to prevent or delay the &C.
ton of the majority, the antagonism
Of the people has been aroused and
the Democratic party cannot afford
to go before the people with the
responsibility Of IA months delay Of
ratification on their shoulders"
A majority of congress can de-
clare war, Mr.. Bryan declared, and
"if the Democratic party stands on
it's right under the constitution to
delay the declaration, of peace be-
cause of the two-thirds rule, it is
violating the principle of Democrat
ic rule"
"This is not government where
one man can tell everybody what
to do" he said. IF the president
has the power to do this, he certain
ly would not desire to exercise the
right. No American citizen would.
"As an American, I yield to no
one in interest in my country. AS
a Democrat, yield to no man-not
even the president-in my interest
in the Democratic party. And
would not belong to any party which
does not allow any citizen to ex-
press his opinion on any subject"
IF his plan is adopted, peace will
be achieved, whether responsibility
for the kind Of peace rests upon the
Democrats or upon the Republicans,
Mr.. Bryan said.
