HISTO RIC SPOTS OF “Iearn One Thing Every Day.” AMERICA : No. 5. THE ALAMO. . iy Copyright, 1918, by The Mentor Association, Inc. 2 Two men riding up the heights dis- mounted, left their horses, and walk- ed continuously to the top. The scene before them was one that tried their souls,—a great circle of troops, here and there a battery of guns; in the center a low rambling building of adobe, at which their fire was directed. - “It is no use, Bonham,” said the elder of the two. “We can’t do it. To try to get in now would be cer- tain death. - You have done your best to get assistance; you can do no more.” 7 “Smith,” replied the other, “I am going in. Travis sent me for help. 1t is right for you to turn back; but I cannot, I will report the result of my mission or dle in the atempt.” Putting a white handkerchief in his hat brim and fastening it there he mounted the splendid cream- colored horse. The two men clasped hands and looked into each other’s eyes for a moment, and then Bon- ham rode down toward the beleaguer- ed fort. Smith saw him reach the Mexican lines and spur his horse on. He was apparently unnoticed for a time, and then the fire of hundreds was turned upon him. Bending low in the saddle, man and horse seemed to fly over the ground. Hundreds of bullets must have whizzed past him; but he seemed to have a charmed life. On’ and on he went, and the fire against him grew heavier. But now the men of the garrison had seen the white handkerchief, which had been agreed upon as a signal, and a ‘| her. independence. cans lost 1 men. the Mexican army overtook General Houston and his army of 780 men at San Jacinto. The battlecry of the ‘Texans was “Remember-the Alamo!” and the’en; - /men of the ® Httle army cut the ‘Mexican forces to pleces, killing 630 and capturing nearly all the rest.

Wiliam Larrett Travis it was sur- rvided oa February 23. 1836, by an army variously estimated at from 3,000 to 8,000 men, under General Santa Anna. With his force of 160 Texans, among them Colonel Bowies, David Crockett, frontiersman and ex-mem- ber of congress, and James Butler Bonham, a friend from boyhood days of Colonel Travis, the last named made a gallant fight against over- whelming odds. Messengers had been despatched to summon help, and finally Travis sent his friend out to bring assistance. At his first des- tination his appeals were of no avail, and he rode on to Gonzales. There he found that Captain Martin and thirty-two men' had gone to the as- sistance of the besieged men, fighting ed. Three days after Bonham’s ride the Mexican army made a general assault. All but six of the brave garrison were killed, and these, sur- rendered on condition of parole, were butchered in cold blood.

The announcement is made in a signed editorial in La Follette’s Week- Senator La_Follette declares that the most effective invention for the centralized control of . capital and credit which the ingenuity of high finance has contrived is the interlock- ing directorate. He says it is “the ‘backbone of the money power.” “It has become known,” he writes, “that the question was raised in the V- | Democratic caucus; that the caucus was advised that the president want- ed legislation against interlocking di- rectorates omitted from the bill; that Mr. Bryan wrote ‘a letter advising against its being made a part-of -the currency measure; that Mr. Glass, chairman of the committee on bank- ing, urged that it be taken up next session, -and that Democratic Leader Underwood moved that it be referred to the judiciary committee to report on next session. - “Does the administration fear that 1f the currency bill prohibits interlock- ing directorates the money power will defeat its passage?

H., Sept. 27.—Governor Felker will grant the request of Harry K. Thaw's attorneys for an extension of time to Oct. 6 in which to prepare and file briefs in the extradition case.

MOST DEATHS AMONG IDLE Interesting Facts Found in Callfornia Vital Statistics. Sacramento, Cal., Sept.-27.—The re- lation of idleness and poverty to mor- tality is succinctly set forth in the final tabulation of deaths in California during 1912 as compiled by the state bureau of vital statistics. Of the 30,174 deaths recorded 12, 759, or 42.3 per cent, were persons without gainful occupation. The greatest percentage of mortal- ify attaches to outdoor work, agricul- ture, transportation and pursuits in the open.. In this category 41.8 of the deaths are recorded. Laborers and servants come next with 8,430 deaths, or 5.9 per cent. In the professional callings but 6.7 are chronicled. » TO RESCUE STRIKEBREAKERS Posse Would Release Negroes Cap- tured by Coal Miners.' Trinidad, Colo., Sept. 27.—An armed posse left here for Ludlow in an effort to rescue three strikebreakers who were captured by a mob of striking coal miners. Sheriff Grisham, who headed an earlier posse in search of the captives, returned after several hours, reporting that he had found no trace of them. The strikebreakers, were taken from a stage near Ludlow on their way to a mine at Hastings. Surrounded by a mob of strikers they were led in the direction of the Unit- ed Mine Workers’ tent colony at Lud- low. This camp is patrolled by union pickets and outsiders are being kept away from the tents. CURRENCY BILL IS OPPOSED New England Bankers Disagree With Principal Features. ‘Washington, Sept. 27.—New Eng- land bankers discussed the adminis- tration currency bill before the sen- ate banking committee. Generally they disagreed with its provisions and suggested vital changes. The New England delegation was brought before the committee by Sen- ator Weeks of Massachusetts. It was headed by Charles P. Blinn, vice pres- ident of the National bank of Boston, and included Justin E. Varney, vice president of the Bay State National bank of Lawrence, Mass., President Bowman of the First National bank of Springfield and President Drury of the Merchants’ National - bank of ‘Worcester.

Y., Sept. 27— Duncan W. Peck, state super- intendent of public works- tes- tifled at. Governor Sulzer’s im- peachment trial that the gov- ernor had asked him to deny under oath that he had made a « $600 contribution to the Sulzer campaign fund, B ol RO R R R R K X Albany, N. Y., Sept. 27.—Governo: Bulzer asked Henry L. Morgenthau ambassador to Turkey, to “be easy with him” in case he was called t¢ the witness stand at the governori impeachment trial: Mr. Morgenthau, who contributed $1,000- to the , governor'’s campaign fund, so- testified when recalled as a oo e ol oo ole ofe ofo ofe ofe ofe oo witness. He added that the governor | D had ‘asked him'totreat the relations between them as a “personal affair.” Judge Lewis Conlon of New York, ‘the first witness, told of handing Sul- zer a $100 check from Daniel M. Brady, “What kind of a contribution was t?” asked John B. Stanchfield, of counsel for the impeachment man: agers. “It was a contribution to help him along in his campaign,” said Judge Conlon. The witness said he had received acknowledgment of the receipt of the money from Saracky. “In ‘the usual rubber stamp form?” asked the attorney. “It was an’ acknowledgment,” re plied Judge Conlon with some asperity. Daniel M. Brady, the next witness, declared he had destroyed both the check and stub- which he had contrib- uted to Sulzer. “Why did you destroy them?” aske Benator Bussey. £ To Avoid Controversy. “Because I realized the entire mat- ter was a fight between two factions. I thought that to destroy. the. check and the stub would be a pretty good way to get out of it.” In reply to a query from Judge Her- rick, Mr. Brady said he had never re- garded Sulzer as anything else than a poor man. 78 E ' John T. Dowling of New York told of meeting thé governor on Oct. 15 and giving him a $100 check. “I told him that I understood that he needed help. I handed him the check.- He thanked me.” ~ The prosecution then took up the charge that. the governor .had used campaign contributions in speculation in Wall street. Phillip Boyer of the brokerage firm of Boyer, Griswold & Co. was called to the stand. He said that Frederick L. Colwell had come to him on Oct. 16, 1912, and given him an order- to buy 200 shares of Big Four stock for “cash delivery.” Colwell, he explained, paid in checks and currency. Mr. Colwell, said the witness, remarked that he was purchasing this’ stock for himself. Two other employes of the broker- age firm were called to the stand to tell about the Colwell purchase. They ‘were cross-examined rigidly by Har- vey D. Hinman of the Sulzer counsel. Despondency.
