NUMBER Al
REUBEN OWEN SHOT
BY MRS. B. +. PAGE.

On Saturday night, the 14th, at
about 1890 o'clock, as Mrs. B. F.
Page, with her daughter, Miss Eddie,
and her small son, Harry, were going
to their hereby home from the Page
restaurant, near the N. c. 4 st. l..
depot, and they had reached the shed
at the back door of the old wholesale
grocery, they were attacked by man,
with supposed intention of robbery,
as Mrs. Page was known to carry the
money taken in the day and night,
with the result that the man was shot
by Mrs. Page, the shot passing
through his right hand and entering
his right breast. The pistol Mrs.
Page carried in her hand as matter
of precaution, was of 1920 calibre
and the bullet fired passed through
the mans body, lodging just under the
skin of his shoulder The man was
first seen by the girl, Eddie, who
screamed and as Mrs. Page saw him
approaching her, with hands upraised,
coat collar turned up and hat pulled
down over his eyes, she fired the sin
gle shot with the effect stated,
Neither the man or Mrs. Page spoke,
but after the shot was fired Mrs. Page
screamed and her husband came from
the nearby home. When Mrs, Page
reached home she telephoned for DR..
C. H. Johnston and Sheriff w. r.
Wright. The Doctor came, but the Of
ficer was in the country. Not ten
minutes later the man was found by
Messrs Jim Lacy and Jim Byrd, two
railroad men, on the walk in front of
the Will White Hotel, the former
Hutton place. The man was carried
to the Water and Light Plant, not far
away and it is said that he there gave
the name of Reubin Owen, of Walnut
Grove, Alabama, but when he was in
the Page Restaurant at about eight
o'clock that night, and Mrs. Page ask
ed him if he was working here he told
her that he had lived a mile from
town year or more-but ON Tuesday
of last week when first seen here, he
told Mrs. Page that he lived at Deca-
tur, Alabama The man is of medium
statute, heavy-set, blnod hair inclin-
ed to pompaudour and wore serge
coat, brown pants with small check,
and brown, low shoes. He was seen
on the same day on the public square
of Lexington and tried to buy cart
ridges, finding but three in the house
where he asked. The man was remov-
ed to the Jail and there Doctor John
ston removed the bullet. This is the
first attempted hold-up here.
The foregoing statement was OBJ
tanned direct from Mrs. Page the
morning after she shot the man she
believed, we believe and verybody
else believes was attempting to rob
her Mrs. Page is a kindly, peacable
woman, but happens to be also brave
and on last Saturday night was
ready for the emergency which arose.
Killing the thieves is the only thing
that ever stopped or checked wave

BOARD TAKES HAND IN
NORMAL SCHOOL ROW

Nashville, Tenn, May IA COM
mittee of five headed by P. L. Harmed
chairman of the State board of edu-
cation, will leave tomorrow for Mem
phsi to investigate charges made by
students of the West Tennessee Nor
NAL, against Mrs. Lizzie Normant,
matron and housekeeper of the girls
dormitory. The committee is compos-
ed of j. F. Folkes, C. B. Ijams, F. G.
Oglesby and Prof J. B Brown, all
members of the state board
In a petition to A. A. Kincannon
president of the West Tennessee Nor
NAL, the students of the school de-
clare that they will go on a strike
Tuesday of this week unless the mat
ron is dismissed from further connec-
ton with the institution. The petit
tion is said to be signed by the entire
student body with the exception of
two girls.
1t is charged in the petition that
Miss Normant has repeatedly demon
strated her incapaeity to deal wisely
and discretely with the problems de-
volving upon the office and that her
moods, whims and temperaments are
unpleasant to students. It is further
charged that she is antagonistic to
the spirit of the student body and
that her presence in the office also
retards the progress of the institu-
tion in its services to the people of
the state.
Members of the committee called
upon Governor Taylor today to in
form him that the investigation
would be made beginning Monday.
The Governor stated that he favored
an investigation and that they will re-
port their findings to the governor.
Since the petition was filed with
Prof. Kincannon last week, members
of the board have held several con-
ferences regarding the matter. II was
decided yesterday by Chairman
Harmed that a thorough investiga-
ton of tn charges against Mrs. Nor
mant be made at once and the COM
mittee was named.
Prof. Kincannon declared that he
could not act on the petition for the
reason that the charges made by the
students were not specific enough.

HARRISON ARRAIGNS
SECRECY IN SENATE.

Washington, May 14.-Secret ses-
sions of the Senate were attacked as a
relic of Antiquity" today by Sena-
tor Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi,
in calling up his resolution proposing
considerations of treaties and nomi-
nations in open session
"Open sessions of the Senate in the
consideration of nominations for high
office will injure no one and secret
sessions may go wrong" he said.
Secrecy begets suspician and suspi-
clan should never touch public SER
vice"
when those sending nominations to
this chamber for confirmation realize
that the senatorial courtesy is abol-
ished, partisanship destroyed and Sc
crecy removed, and that the full light
of publicity is turned on the nominee,
then the American people will have
more confidence in the work of this
body"
Senator McKellar, Democrat, Ten
nessee, interrupted to say that all
that occurred in the recent executive
session to consider the nomination of
David H. Blair as commissioner of
internal revenue was reported "in the
minutest detail" in the newspapers.
Senator HARRISON, referring to the
holding up of the nomination of
Charles c. Madison to be district At
torney of Missouri by Senator Spen-
Ger of that state, said that open ses-
sions would have enabled the public
to he informed as to the nature of
Senator Spencer's objections to the
nomination.
Senator Williams, Democrat, Mis-
sissippi, opposed open action on nomi-
nations. Only mental or moral fit
ness of appointees should guide the
Senate, he said, adding:
"We should not discuss the private
character of appointees in public"
The only discussion from the Re-
publican side was word of approx
al for the resolution by Senator Bor-
rah, Idaho. Then the Senate voted
AZ to 26 to refer the resolution to the
rules committee, which Senator Har-
rison declared was its death.

FARMERS EFT AL
BENIEVED AGAIN

The emergency tariff bill passed by
the U. S. Senate and sent to confer
ence the last weekend brought forth
an editorial in the Nashville Tennes-
sean of last Sunday, we'll worth re-
producing, in full, were not our space
limited The bill includes provisions
imposing duties on agricultural prod
ucts the same as did the bill vetoed by
President Wilson-principally prod
ucts which come to this country if at
all in but negligible amount-but it
is supposed to catch the farmer
the most easily buncoed lin politics.
especially Of all humanity. The bill
supported by Sc Republicans and
seven Democrats, the latter wool
and hide men" with the addition of
two sugar" Senators from Louisi-
ana who would rob the balance of the
peoples of the earth-and would to
add two cents per pound to the price
of sugar, the crookedest product in all
the world. But one Republican, Mo-
ses of New Hampshire, opposed the
bill-but one man was enough to tell
some unpleasant truths about the
bunco game being pulled off at the
expense of the common people and
the profit of the manufacturers of
the United States.
In this editorial the Tennessean
aptly said "The farmer never stood a
chance to win in any game against
the business interests who hover
about Washington and write their
own schedules under Republican tol-
erance." Senator Edge, author of the
foreign trading act, responded to the
party whip and said that he could
vote for the emergency bill without
enthusiasm" because four months of
its life had been cut off.
Of the bill, expected to act as a
booster of prices of manufactured
goods, Senator Stanley said in dis
cussing it:
"The beef trust may charge what
it pleases for beef, the steel trust
what it pleases for steel, the wool
trust what it pleases for clothing in
the domestic market, and yet, in the
future as in the past, these mo-
nopolies may dump their products on
the markets of the world at half what
they charge the home consumer.
Yet the same trusts can go before
the Secretary of the Treasury and
with unclean hands demand that the
markets of America be closed be-
cause some foreign competitor, for
sooth, may interfere with their trusts,
guaranteed, licensed and franchised
to plumber the. American consumer"
In concluding iS editorial the Ten
nessean said:
"If he has not already done so, the
farmer will learn soon that the good
old Republican party has buncoed
them
This may be so as to farmers of
the North the East and the West
but Southern Republican farmers
may be expected to swallow the same
old bait in the future as they have in
the past.

Ross beat the field after one of the
most strenuous contests ever known
to occur over the appointment Of a

GRAY STAR ROUTE
HAS BEEN RE-ESTABLISHED

Postmaster E. s. Irwin informs
the Democrat that the Liberal-Gray
star route has again been extended
to Perryton, Texs.
When the railroad was built into
Perryton, the route running from
Liberal through Gray was discon-
tinued beyond Gray. Liberal business
men and those at Gray and Perry
ton were not pleased with the ar
rangefent and petitioned the post
office Department to re-establish
the discontinued portion.
Word came Tuesday that the pc
tition had been granted and the
change will take effect June 18th.
There are lot of business be-
tween the towns and the discontin-
uance Of the route worked a great
hardship as mail had to travel
considerable distance before reach
ing its destination, and the people Of
the towns on the route are pleased
that the department has seen fit to
again institute the service. n lrt
