Mr. Shannon stated daj' morning that he saw a dark object lying near the curb as he went outJ passengers to Washington park. At tha time he was not that the object was a man and he did stop. On his way back, how'ever, ne flashed his headlights on the object, saw that it was a human body, anl stopped. Discovering that the man dead and that the body -was badly mangled, he promptly notified the police'.

This was about 2:30 Friday morning. Officers were sent out, and coroner J. J. and the undertakers notified. The body was evidently struck by an outgoing car.

The hat lay some .50 feet away from the body towards the city. The body lay with tha feet against the curb. An examination revealed the fact that both legs had been broken in several places; that back and several ribs were snapped, and that the face was badly bruised. It is thought that the car that struck the man must have been a heavy machine. as a light car would have beon wrecked.

Evidently the person who struck the man never stopped. Mrs. Gibson, upon learning Friday morning that a body had been found, went to the undertaking parlors ani there identified the remains as those of her husband. She was prostrated with the shock. The Gibsons came to ET Paso from New Orleans about three years ago.

The deceased, who was 45 years of wa.s form.erly house carpenter at the Palmer house, in Chicago. EXPECTS 200 CONVERTS IN EAST EL PASO Rev.

Do Your Level Best and Quit Talking Misery, Is the Message to Business. Walsh, Ferris, Washington. 1'. up and get to nothing the matter with the United is the message which secretary of commerce Redfield gave out today to the merchants and all interests of the American ration, lie pointed out, inci- vlentally, that when the war broke out, American merchants were $40,000,000 in debt to foreign manufacturers and producers. Since then a trade balance of $174,000,000 in favor of the United States has been piled up.

JVo arrnnt for There is no warrant, Mr. Redfield declares, for gloom or despair. The ill effects of the European war on American enterprise are passing and new vistas for commercial ventures are opening with each new day. His message follows; you want prosperity do your share to bring it and do it now. Get that addition on your shop going; it will cost you less today than six months hence.

Is trade a bit dull in the woi'ks? Get those improvements begun. Prices are low and likely to rise. You've been thinking of that contract work; better start it yourself before things get the of you. Think of DelKium, country slows down a bit now and then, but it never stops growing it always moves up, and not down. We don't know what it means in most of the United States to have leal general distress.

Think of Belgium and. Poland, man with a grouch, and slink into your hole and it in after you. There think of sins and your blessings and come out with your courage in working order, are lots of good American examples of pluck. Do you remember San Francisco and Galveston and Charleston, Baltimore and Dayton and many others like them? Remember Thomas A. Edison and lots of other fellow citizens who showed when things were hard.

oiir is the matter with the maii with a grouch except an absentee heart and missing nerve. Cheer up, go to work, do your level best, quit talking misery. The war is over yonder, not here. Men are slaughtered over yonder living here; it all clouds there, clear here. out and sell some goods; plant some more acres: more work than you pl.Tnned.

Has it re- the government to sweep every doorstep, climb into every attic looking for counterfeiting outfits, descend into every cellar in search for illicit stills, into every envelope for lottery tickets, and examine the morals of all i travelers at all state lines? Are all American homes invaded and kept under surveillance by the internal revenue officers? Has the existing army of employes given or anyone else life tenure of office? Is it not pi obable tliat the existing internal revenue organization is ample to enforce national prohibition of the manufacture of liquor and that such prohibition would be siinpler than the existing supervision of the manufacture of liquoi" under certain conditions and prohibition of it under all other conditions? Mr. Taftjs assumption that every American citizen is potentially and actually would be a distiller or brewer national prohibition is neither complimentary to the American people nor is it sustained by the general ceptation and loyal support of national prohibitions existing.
