VOTE ON MILLS SUCCESSOR TODAY,
Texas Legislature Decides Not to
Revolt AGainst Federal Law

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 24.-The senate and
house of the Texas legislature met TODAY at
noon in their separate chambers. The Hon.
Charles A. Culberson, the sole democratic
nominee, was elected without aopposition to
succeed Retiring Senator Roger G. Mills.
Both houses will meet in joint session to-
morrow at noon to ratify the ballot cast
today.
After an exciting debate, pro and con.
III which much interest was manifested, the
house this morning referred to the commit
tee on federal relations for future action
the resolution of Mr.. Wooten, introduced
yesterday. denouncing the federal govern
ment for levying war tax on county and
state officials bonds and declining positively
TO obey said laws.
During the debate Representative Pitts
stemmed the tide in favor of the resolution,
which threatened to cause it's adoption, by
urging that 1t was bad policy and entirely
too revolutionary for a great legislative body
to excite the people of state to revol,
against the federal government by any such
open defiance OF its laws. He also called
attention to the fact that this matter, when
sifted down, placed the legislature on record
merely as sanctioning approval of legal
| fight against the federal government laws
and yet by its wording urged people TO re-
| volt against the federal laws.
Mr.. Wooten defended his resolution by
saying that he merely sought to test a
legal ruling OF one of the revenue officers
| clerks and at the same time protect the
| dignity OF the state and he called on the
/ house to back up his resolution, but Mr.
Pitts speech had changed the first heated
opinion OF many and the resolution was
/ referred.

! SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. 1


Ihat William Barrier Is guilty OF having
placed a package of explosives on the steps
OF f. b. Towl's residence is becoming more
evident as the Investigation progresses.
Mayor Ensor is experimenting the work and
his agents are making daily reports to him.
Barrier has been taken to the county Jail,
where he will be kept for a few days in
close confinement and steps have been
taken to prevent messages OF any kind
reaching him. All intercourse with other
prisoners In the Jail has been shut off in
order to give him plenty OF time to think
over his recent actions. Red" Morrisey Is
being held at the city Jail and he, too, is
being prevented from holding communica-
tion with other prisoners or the outside
world.
Barrier is getting so that he tells differ
ent story almost every time he is interro-
gated. These statements are !hl taken
down and will be used against him when
the time comes. The prisoner asserted yes
terday that he did not arrive at the dance
at Workman hall until midnight Saturday.
Investigation shows that he spent the earlier
part of the evening there and was with
Morrieey between II and IL o'clock. After
Barrier reported his find at police head
quarters he was allowed to depart. but
was shadowed up to the time Of his arrest.
He spent nearly all Of the intervening
hours with Morrisey. Monday forenoon
Barrier and Morrisey occupied a card room
at an street saloon and their converse
ton was overheard by the persons watch
ing the pair. From this conversation 1t is
gathered that Barrier was playing for job
under Mr.. Towl The plan was to suggest
this to Towl and when Barrier was once
comfortably fixed, to tell Towl how Nor
rlsey helped him and thus secure soft sit
uation for his partner. Barrier still de-
clines to tell the name OF the woman he
alleged he was with when he found the ex-
posives. When told that he would have tc
remain in Jail until he disclosed her identity
| Barrier replied that he would die nrst
Those who are investigating are satisfied
| that there is no woman in the case II
is thought that Barrier is too much afraic
of Morrisey to peach on him. The dyna'
mite is similar to that used in mining op'
| erations and as both Morrisey and bar
rier have returned from Butte. Mont, 1
is inferred that they brought the explosive
