However. it cannot be stated too
strongly that those connected with

Of the service in general are very
much displeased at the apparent ef-
forts to recruit an All-American foot
ball eleven from the colleges.
SO many reports have appeared to
this effect In the newspapers with
out denial from the Army representa-
tives, that it cannot be doubted that
such efforts have been made. There
is also direct evidence at hand of the
efforts of the Army people to get
football players as cadets.
The most important additions to
the Army squad from other colleges
last season were French and Storck.
OF Rutgers, and Mulilien, of Columbia.
Apparently, the effort has been more
vigorous this year
Among those reported to have been
reached by the recruiter were McMil-

Boynton, Williams; Urban and Fitz-
patrick, Boston College; Garbisch, w.

that West Point will gain much in

 Colonel Schute, who is president of the Liverpool Cotton association, said it was essential to the prosperity of the world that employers and em- ployes should have a cordial under standing. Speaking for Lancashire, he would say to the growers that no manufacturer or merchant desired to receive the raw commodity grown in the southern states at any price which meant that the payment was being taken out of the lives and souls of these who grew it..
 Lord Emmett, in addressing the convention, declared his belief that the serious industrial disputes which now were interfering with productive capacity in the cotton industry were nearing an end and he thought that before long this country would be dealing with millions of bales of cotton

Hot on Trail Palmer,
 Alleged to Be Mixed Up In Bank Robbery

Hamilton, June 13.--(Special)- )- Officers are still looking for Russ Palmer, who is wanted for alleged robbery of the Marion County Bank ing company here Thursday after noon, and have found where he slept in the woods three miles east of Hamilton, but he has so far success fully eluded the posse.
 Yesterday morning the bloodhounds took his trail and he was tracked to Woods creek where it is thought he waded it for some distance. The country is very hiIly and not thickly settled, and this has worked to the disadvantage of the officers.
 There is no question in the minds of the officers but that Russ Palmer was one of the bandits, as he showed his money and told parties that he was one of the Bandits and threat ened their lives if they told on him, according to the officers. Saturday morning officers got within eunshot of him and several shots were ex- changed Palmer knows the country well.
 1t is believed that he will soon rnake for a railroad station to es- cape the local officers.

New York, June l3.-Gen. Jose M. Gomex. former President of Cuba, died at the Hotel Plaza at 1:45 today. General Gomez, second President of Cuba, leader of the liberty party and popular army commander, was born in 1855 of a well-to-do Santa Clara province family. Most of his wealth was held in lands, much of which in- oluded sugar estate and cattle ranches.
 He won his military rank of major general during the revolution of 1ss8-ss, against the Spanish rule.

In the revolt which followed, soon after resulting in intervention by the United States, President Palma was unseated and General Gomez was arrested for con- spiracy against the government in 1906. He was later released. He was a commissioner to the United States to advise on the dissolution of the revolutionary army.
 He was the successful presidential candidate in November, 1905 as the choice of the liberal party, and with Alfredo zayas for vice president, served one term of four years.
