heartily favor reform II, the
criminal laws OF Texas, ] would pro-
pose four reforms. which include many.
/. Change our Jury system, Under
present rulings reading men--those who
are more intelligent and consequently
less liable TO prcjudce-are usually
excused on the ground that having
read VI a case they have formed opln-
ions. Then allow two-thlrds or three
fourths 10 render verdicts.
9. Pay district Judges such salaries
as will induce good lawyers TO go
upon the bench, thus securing such
rulings In the lower courts as will
stand the test OF our appellate court
II would be economy for Texas to
pay district judges $4,000 a year rath-
err than the expenses Of numerous re-
trials. m
0. Take tho judiciary out OF politics
and make the tenure OF Office life or
during good conduct.
4. Lei the legislature provide for the
appolntment OF commission OF hve
or seven jurists to submit criminal
code at the next or a called session OF
that body. Pay for men competent to
do this work.
In answer to your third question ]
am ready to do all In my power to
induce reforms In our laws. l believe
all good citizens will do the same. Such
as are profting by the present inefflc-
lent code may oppose you. ! wish TO
commend your efforts to bring reforms.
and hope TO see the time speedily come
when the guilty can be punished with
out Jeopardy TO the innocent.

minds beyond question that the de-
PENDANT has had justice meted out to
him and has not suffered from the err
rors OF the court below.
The laws OF evidence, too, OF our
state, need revision. In many cases ns
they now stand they seem to have been
framed for the purpose Of concealing
instead OF ellclting the truth.
Radical changes, also, are needed In
the present jury system, for the most
insurmountablc barrier to the prompt
and Just administration of criminal
laws is the petit jury where the chief
qualification IN every important trial
is such gross Ignorance or stupidity as
to almost preclude the possibility OF
the jurors having seen even n news

ton of juror should be materially
changed and premium placed on
general Intelligence. Again, the re-
quirement of unnnlmity In a petit

would be 10 elect jury ~ say three

TO try all cases, both civil and crimi-
nal, that might come before them, and
let their verdlcts be under the two

tice would be fairly administered to all

4 WOODLAND BLAZE. The Beautiful Two-Story Resi- dence of the Mayor Burned. OTHER BUILDINGS IN DANGER Timely and Effective Work of the Fire Depart ment and Citizens Prevent an Ugly
 Conhagration -L Loss Five
 Thousand Dollars.

At 1 o'clock this morning, at Wood lawn, fire was discovered in the elegant two-story residnce of Hon. J. T. Hood, mayor of that thriving suburb, and 1an alarm sounded. The Woodlawn fire de- partment promptly responded, but when they arrived at the scene of the blaze it was evident that the entire building was doomed and attention was turned to the adjoining propety with a view of saving it if possible.
 Slowly but surely the 1amessgrew until the entire building, with the larger DOT ton of the contents, were destroyed. A piano and few houshold effects were gotten from the building, but the loss is very heavy. The building and contents were valued at $5000, and were insured for only s2000.
 In an upper room of the building were MT and Mrs. E. N Cornwell, who were barely aroused in time to save them selves. Their entire effects were lost.
 On either side of the burned building are the residences of Messrs. S. M. and J. T. Wood, and it was only by the ut most eXertionS on the part of the fire de- pertinent that they were prevented from being destroyed, though they were very badly Scorched
 Too much praise cannot be given the citizens of Woodlawn, and especially the fire department, for their good and effec- tive work.

A Witness Against Moonshiners Waylaid by Them and Shot.
 w.. J. Thornburg, a witness for the government against R. F. Stedham and Willis Alverson, was shot in the back Sunday evening as he was returning to the city to give evidence before Commis- sioner Wilson in their case, which was tried yesterday morning.
 MT. Thornburg made the following statement to an Age-Herald reporter ''I am witness against Willis Alverson and R. F. Stedham, who are accused of illicit distilling, and who were arrested by the revenue officers Friday night. Commissioner Wilson postponed their trial to Monday afternoon, and decided to go to my home, about seven miles east of Coal City, and spend Sunday
 While returning Sunday evening about
 dark noticed two men coming out of the
 woods about 250 yards back of me- I was mounted on mustang pony and
 the men were afoot. I, therefore. paid no attention to them until I saw they were trying to intercept me by cutting
 across the woods wherever the road made turn, until just as I crossed A
 small creek, about three miles east of Coalburg, the men arrived at the em-
 bankment on the opposite side. and one of them, who had double barreled shot gun, pointed it at me and fred two of
 the balls lodging in my back, just above
 the shoulder and five of the balls going
 through my coat. Fortunately the shots
 were No. 1squirrel shot and the distance
 was too great to be effective I recog- nized the men by the dim tWilieht bIt
