that people can look at it. Now we

can come and look at us.

Slain Bandits Loot of
$lO2,5OO Hid i'm Texas
Slaughter Put Money in Auto
Tire, but Hiding Place Re-
mains Mystery

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Dec 12.-Buried
somewhere in all automobile tire in
northern Texas is $1O2,5O0 worth of
securities, Tom Saughter's share of
loct obtained by his band in numerous
bank robberies, according to A. w.
Mills, agent for an insurance company.
Mr. Mills said he had had an appoint
ment to meet Slaughter-~slain after a
sensational Jail break--at the peniten-
tlary tomorrow, and at that time the
bandit was to have told him the hid
ing place of the money so that it could
be returned to the banks before Slaugh-
ter went to the electric chair.
Mr.. Mills said that following Slaugh-
ter's conviction the bandit professed
religion to Little Rock minister and
that the latter told him he would have
to return the money before he could be
forgiven. After comforting with the
minister, Mills said, he had an appoint
ment to see Slaughter on September
co. at which time the hiding place of
the loot was to have been revealed. Two
days previously, however, Slaughter
tried to escape from prison, killing
guard, for which he was sentenced to
the electric chair.

lice automobile squad, charged with IL
legally accepting n gratuity. An in
dictment against Owens alone, charg-
ing him with Keeping in his custody an
automobile alleged to have been stolen,
also was dismissed.
In presenting his motion MIR. Snitkin,
who previously had obtained perms-
sion to examine the minutes of the
grand jury which indicted the men,
said that much of the evidence pre-
scnted was in the form of questions
prcjudicial TO the defendants and state
ments Of fact by the prosecutor, who
produced no evidence before the grand
jury to Justify any of them In render
ing his decision Judge Talley concurred
in this opinion, saying that it was i'm.
possible to avoid tho conclusion that
the minds of the grand jurors were
prejudiced by statements VI this char
acter.
"An Indictment cannot stand" Judge
Talley said in disnissing the indict-
ments against the policemen, "if the
neglect of duty alleged is merely u
violation Of tho rules of tho Police De-
partment. That is a matter for dis
ciplinary action with the DEPARTING cnt

A third indictment against Owens is
still pending. Mr.. Snitkin will argue
for it's dismissal before Judge Talloy

Poor Tactics

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-~The Demo

tional affairs during the war period
was assailed by Senator Moses, Repub-
lican, of New Hampshire. in speech
to-day in the Senate in connection with
the contest over the seating of Truman
H. Newberry as Senator from Michigan.
Mr.. Moses branded the attack as the
move of poor losers
The charge was made by Mr.. Moses
that the Democratic Administration in
framing the draft law called upon
known Republican states to furnish
disproportionate share of men for the
national defense, as compared to Demo-
cratic states. He asserted also that
the Democrats had foreseen the end of
hostilities. which came within week
after election, but climaxed their Gin
effable egotism' with the letter by
President Wilson calling for a re-elec-
tion of Democratic majority in Con-
gress.
The Senator stated that among
the salient points" in what he de-
scribed as Democratic shortcomings
the Administration chad squan-
dered" the country's savings subscribed
to the war loans, and had taken unto
itself and it's favorites, the benefits of
the self-sacrifice Of both those who
went overseas and those who stayed at
home" He declared the Democratic
party leaders "arrogated" to them
selves virtue and patriotism "to which
they had no just claim"

sible for several million of the 7,000,-
900 majority against the Democratic
party at the last election. Tumulty
represents that group among the Demo
Gratis which Americans simply will not
tolerate in positions of responsibility.
Influence Over Wilson
There is no doubt whatever that
Mr.. Tumulty does not exaggerate his
influence upon the Presidents position
in regard to prohibition. The simple
fact is that Mr.. Wilson never knew and
probably does not know to-day what
Americans thought or did in regard to
the prohibition matter. The senti-
ment OF the American people in regard
to prohibition never had access to him.
ut Is comforting to know that such
a situation--a situation which we
sincerely trust and believe will never
exist again, no matter which party may
be in office-does not exist to-day.
