United States Commissioner Car
ter on Tuesday morning dismissed
the charges of an attempted assault
recently brought against Josiah T.

case" said Commissioner Carter,

wished the charges dismissed.
81, personally, assume all respon-
sibility for dismissing the case,
which in my opinion, should never
have been brought"

hitting of a number Of cattle-dipping

NO ALARM FELT Of
ATTACK BY BANDITS.

TAMPICO, Neutrality-suspicious. in
Tampico are not worried over the
numerous reports of attacks by
bandits.
While they admit the attacks in
many instances are serious, they
have become SO used to the con-
tinued reports that they are not
alarmed.
The alleged bandit raids are not
even discussed, but instead the con-
versations, when not about, oil, are
about golf, baseball, dances, etc.
Most of the Americans in Tam
pico live in their own homes. All
of the large companies have special
homes for their officials, which are
in groups or colonies, and guarded
by the company's police. Other
Americans live i'll homes in various
parts Of the city.
Oil companies have constructed
several ball parks and an coil

The Los Mangos Golf club, an
American institution, has fine
course Of nine holes and a golf
house near the city. This course
was completed May 1, 1922. Garven
Scott McCurdy, an oil official and

brations in the United States. All
the English-speaking p ople in the

NEW TRIAL DENIED
FOR FRANK DUPRE
BY SUPREME COURT

The supreme court on Wednesday
morning denied the motion of Frank
B. DuPre for rehearing of his APP
peal for new trial. The court also
denied his motion for modification
Of its recent order affirming the
Judgment of the lower court.
Attorney H. A. Allen, chief coun-
sci for spuPre, when informed of the
action of the supreme court, an
nounced that he would file at once
with the state prison commission
petition asking a communication OF
the death sentence which now hangs
over his client.
He added that the petition would
go through regular channels, and
that he considered no direct appeal
to Governor Hardwick at this time.
DuPre killed Pinkerton Detective
Irby c. Walker while escaping from
the Nat Kaiser jewelry store with a
stolen diamond in December, 1921.
He was sentenced to hang. 8
DuPre's lawyers, in their petition
to the supreme court, asked a modifi-
cation of the decision on the ground
that four of the six judges had
found error in the conduct of the
trial. There were two main points
considered by the court. On each
point the court was evenly divided,
which by operation of law had the
effect of affirming the lower court.
However, the three judges who
found error on one point were not
the same three who found error on
the other point, there being a switch
of one judge between the two points.
Therefore it was commended by Du-
Pres lawyers that on one point or
the other, four judges, constituting
majority of the court, had found
error, and that DuPre should be
granted new trial.
The court in denying the two mo-
tionS made no comment,

j. S. COURT ISSUES
BROAD INJUNCTION
AGAINST VIOLENCE

A double-barreled injunction, to
apply for a ten-day period, was is
sued by United States Judge Samuel
FL. Sibley Tuesday afternoon at the
conclusion of the hearing in the
case of the injunctions sought by
the Seaboard Air Line railway, the
N, G. & st. L. r. r. and the w. &
A. r. R., against their striking shop
craftsmen. Judge Sibley set Thurs.
day, August 8, as the date for final
hearing on the injunction.
The striking shopmen were en-
joined from acts Of violence against
employees or persons seeking employ
ment with the railroads and were
enjoined from unlawful trespass on
railroad property. They were for
hidden to approach railroad EN-
ployes or persons seeking employ
ment in groups Of more than two.
The railroads and their agents
were enjoined from assaulting or
beating striking shopmen or their
representatives. The compliments
were required to post a $4,000 bond
and the United States marshal was
directed to enforce the orders.
Judge Sibley's order came at the
conclusion of a hearing which was
marked Tuesday by charges from
Fitzgerald Hall, of Nashville, gen
eral counsel for the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and st. Louis railroad, that
the present strike 'is a calm, pre-
meditated, nationwide conspiracy
paralyze the commerce of the ma
tion," and by statements from Sher-
iff Lowry, Captain j. M. Carroll, of
the county police, and County Po-
liceman Vinson, and Police Chief
James L. Beavers. in which they
described the strike situation as "un-'
usually quiet"
In announcing his decision from
the bench, Judge Sibley declared
the identity of the persons respon-
sibIe for the alleged acts of violence
has not been plainly shown in the
evidence.
''The evidence indicated the acts
of violence were committed by
members of the defendant unions or
their sympatkizers but the union
ovc :utives disavow any such acts.
Both sides appear anxious for order,
and peace should be the main o..
ject. Violence o. the part of stril.
ers is suicide and strikes based on
violence will fail -

the house, and showed the house is
bent on passi 5 the bill.
In the course of the debate, Rep

man of the committee on appropria-
tons and ways and means, solemnly
warned the house that repeal Of the
equalization law without a substi-
tute revenue measure would cut the
common schools at least million
dollars year, If not a million, five
hundred thousand, and would make
it impossible to pay the Confederate
pensions. He urged the house to
pass the income tax bill first, and
then to repeal the tax equalization
law.
Representative Carswell, chairman
Of the committee, spoke along the
same line. He told the house that
he would call UP his income tax bill
ahead fthe final vote on equaliza-
ton repeal, and if the house would
pass his bill, he would vote for the
repeal bill.

That is despicable falsehood. The

The two gentlemen started toward
each other, and the house imme-

Neill called Representative Arnold
out OF order, and ordered the mem
bers to take their seats. When quiet
