SENATOR MORGAN'S PROMISED
SPEECH CAME OFF IN THE
SENATE YESTERDAY.
THE OKLAHOMA HOMESTEAD BILL.
Passes the. House-House Decided t,
Consider the Resolution Censuring
Ambassador Bayard-Speech on
immigration by Mr.. Lodge.

Washington, March 16.-The senate
had an hour of spirited Cuban debate late
today after the early part of the day had
been given to set speeches by Mr.. Lodge
on immigration, and Mr.. Pugh ON silver.
The Cuban discussion was mainly import
ant in bringing out the full reading of a
statement of the Spanish side of the case
by Senor Dupuy De Lone, the Spanish
minister. This had been referred to some
days ago, but could not be made public.
Today, however, Mr.. Morgan read a
letter from Secretary Olney saying the
Spanish minister gave his permission for
the public use of the statement. 1t
claimed to detail the insurgent methods
of guerilla warfare, the burning of cane
fields and the disorganized character of
the insurgent bands.
Mr.. Morgan commented severely upon
the minister's statement.
The senator had sharp controversies
with Mr.. Hale over various phases of the
Cuban question.
During the day Mr.. Elkins offered res
olution directing the committee on for
eign affairs to report as to the status of
war in Cuba before vote was taken in

BRENNAN BRIEFS.
Wash Hayes, Negro ShOotist, Got Five
Years-Other Items.

Brennan, Tex, March 17.-(Special) J.
Wash Hayes, the negro on trial for the
shooting of Mrs. VIM. Myers near
Hidalgo Bluff this county, last year, dur
ing the progress of his case today in the
district court, pleaded guilty and was
given five years in the penitentiary. The
circumstance that makes the case re-
markable lies in the fact that different
doctors claimed and denied that the
woman's brains were oozing from the
wound.
The negro was surprised at night while
attempting to rob the Myers hen roOst,
and letting off his pistol at random, the
ball struck the lady in the forehead and
lodged in the back part of the skull As
to whether or not the bullet went through
the head or only through the skin there
was, and still is, large difference of
opinion. For months the woman lay at
deaths door, then slowly recovered and
has at length regained her health and
also her mind, which for time she
seemed on the verge of losing.
Col. Jno. Rogers, on his way from Allen
Farm to Galveston, stopped over here to
see his friend, Col. ID. G. Giddings, who

HANGED HIMSELF.

Paris, Tex, March 16-(Special.)- y
Henry Frozen, German tailor, about
56 years of age, committed suicide by
hanging himself at the fair grounds. He
dicted to going on sprees. A few weeks
ago he tried to kill himself by taking
morphine. Yesterday he was arrested
for drunkenness and was to answer the
charge this morning. Instead of doing
so, he secured rope, went to the fair
grounds and tying it to iost, swung
off. 1t broke with his weight, and he
then tied it to nail on the wall and
pulled on it with his neck until life was
extinct. Some boys found the body
nor money.

A MAD DOG FLJJRRY.

Texarkana, Tex, March 16.-(Spe-

of excitement by it's antics here today.
He came from the eastern suburbs and
ran through the main street of the town
from one end to the other, swapping and
biting at everything that lay in his
route. Harry Few, the 6-year-old son
of widow, was badly bitten on the leg.
The animal was pursued by a crowd of
men and boys and finally killed. Old
timers who witnessed the dogs capers
are positive that he was suffering with
a genuine case of the rabies.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
MOVED IT INTO THE INDIAN
TERRITORY.
TEXAS CAN APPEAL 70 CONGRESS.
But the Court Must be Controlled by
Law and Not by Sentiment, Says
Justice Harlan, Who Handed
Down the Opinion.

Washington, March 16.-The case of
the United States VS.. The State of Texas,
involving the ownership of Greer county,
was decided in the supreme court today
in favor of the United States. Justice
Harlan handed down the opinion. The
case involves 100000 acres. The case
depended upon the construction of the
treaty between this country and Spain,
made in 1919, which defined the northern
and eastern lines of the Spanish posses
sions, which afterwards passed to Mex
leo and still later to the republic and then
the State of Texas. In this treaty map
known as Melish's map, which had been
made the year before, was referred to,
and the lines fixed in accordance with
the map. 1t was provided at the same
time that commissioners and surveyors
should be appointed to define the lines
better. The Melish map did not CORE
spOnd with the real facts as determined
by astronomical observations in fixing
the boundary lines, and it was soon as
.certained that, while all the territory
known as Greer county was placed west
OIL Tie lOOlu lhc map ShONN
it was east of it.
The court held that the fact that COM
missiOners and surveyors were provided
for in the treaty was evidence that it
was not intended that the lines as laid
down in the map should be considered
binding, and therefore accepted the fact
AS determined by the surveyors in pref
erence to the showing of the map. 1t
was stated that Texas had, in the settle
ment of 1850, relinquished all claims to
the lands outside of her boundary to the
United States and received S1O,O0O,OO0
on this settlement. The contentious of
the State that Greer county had been
organized since 1860; that its existence
as Il part of the State had been rec0g-
nized by including it in the Northern dis
trict of the State for judicial purposes,
and by the establishment of postoliices
as well as other things, were brushed
aside by Justice Harlan in his opinion,
and decree ordered entered declaring
the county TO be outside the boundaries
of Texas and subject to the jurisdiction
of the United States.
Justice Harlan intimated that Texas
could appeal to congress for relief if not
satisfied with the decision, but said the
court must be controlled by the law and
not by sentiment.

For Interfering With Matters Under De-

Washington, March 1.-THE Cuban de-
bate in the senate is drawing to a close,
and the expectation is that final vote
will be taken in a day or two, possibly to-
morrow.
Mr.. Sherman is keeping the question
before the senate continually, so that the
speeches are not likely to last much longer.
Mr.. Mills of Texas and Mr.. Platt of
Connecticut are yet to be heard, but their
remarks will not be lengthy.
Mr.. Morgan of Alabama occupied al
most the entire session today, speaking
until nearly & o'clock tonight, in support
of the resolutions. 1t was mainly an ar
gument without dramatic interest. The
senator severely arraigned Minister Du-
puy de LONE of Spain for impropriety in
criticising senator's. He also recited
many evidences of the seventies and atroc-
tiles with which Spain was prosecuting
the war.
Mr. Morgan said he feared that the fan
aticism of Spain would lead her to take up
the gauntlet of war, no matter how mild
and proper the course of congress might
