A RECEIVER APPOINTED
For the Dallas State Fair md Expo.
sitiOn Association.

/
Dallas, Texas November 27.-This after
noon Judge w. ]. J. Smith appointed John
H CASTOR of Hutchins Texas. receiver OF
the Texas State Fair and Dallas EXPOSE
ton association. conditioned upon his TAX
ing the oath prescribed by law and making
bond in the sum of $4,000. This action
of the court was made upon petition ask
ing for it flied by w. H. CASTOR and all
other directors of the State Fair associa-
ton. excepting Vice President Ben b..
Cabell. who, being sheriff and holding
some of the associations papers, did not
become a party to the request.
In a lengthy petition w. II. CASTOR, J..
B. Adoue, Jules E. Schneider John N,
Simpson, w. G. Crush and other directors
recte that the Fair association Is unable
to pay its indebtedness and ask for the
aid of the court in helping them settle In
G legal way.
An entire reorganization of the Fair
association is contemplated. Till this Is
done the fair will be run by Receiver
CASTOR under orders from the court. 1t
is not calculated TO in any way let the
great exposition run down, and today's ac-
ton is only legal way of squaring the
Indebtedness incurred during the early
life Of the association, about fifteen years
ago.
The Fair association embarrassing OBJ
legations mainly consist OF something over
500 600 in bonds, held principally in Eng

NAVIGATION OF THE TRINITY.
Captain Richie Says 1t VIII Help All
North Texas.


Sherman, Texas, November 27--Captair
c. S. Richie, late colonel OF the First
United States volunteer immunes, is In
the city, the guest of Mrs Key at the
North Texas Female college. He has beer
in Dallas consulting with the citizens anc
business men of that city relative to the
navigability OF the Trinity.
Referring to the matter, Captain Richie
said: II am very much encouraged at
the showing made and shall make favor
able recommendation In the matter to
Washington. 1t is matter not only OF
importance to Dallas, but to sherman
Denison and other North Texas cities. as
they will likewise benefit from reduced
rates to be brought about"
When asked II he had considered the
question OF making Red river navigable
as far wegt as Denison. he stated that that
was out OF his district. Captain Richie
has met and been warmly welcomed BY a
number of the volunteers resident here.

the state treasury or to allow the offlclaia
TO retain It. II any such excess has ac-
crued since the passage OF the act of 1897
1t has not been officially reported, he as
serted. Furthermore, he claimed, when
such excess accrues there Is no way to as
certain whether It is made up Of civil or
criminal fees. A fee law OF Uniform APP
lutte impossibllHy. he asserted. In eonclu-
sion.
Replying 10 MIR. Ward. Judge Watts
called the courts attention to the fact thai
all the authorities cited by the State re-
lated 10 fee laws providing fixed salaries,
while the Texas law merely fixes a limit
10 the aggregate OF fees that may be re-
tanned by certain officials as compensation
for their services each year, they being
feed and not salarled officers. Relying
upon New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ten-
nessee decisions, Judge Watts argued that
classification must be suggested by some
apparent natural reason and must be rea-
sonab,e and natural and not arbitrary Az
to the States from which the State quoted
decisions sustaining laws similar to the
Texas law. he called attention to the fact
that the constitutions OF those States have
been amended so as to provide for the
passage OF those laws
AS to the caption OF the act, Judge Watts
uidiIlalutu lHdl ~ fitiuACS wv dNl itotli
because II expresses two distinct subjects
OF legislation.
From the above IL will be seen that this
case is particularly important. as 1t adj
dresses Itself to the validity OF an act
over the passage Of which there was much
controversy throughout the State AS well
as in the legislature. Furthermore, should
plaintiffs petition be granted the state
would have TO pay out large amount OF
money by way OF compensation 10 county
officials as they would be entitled to re-
ceIve the difference between what they
have collected for two years past and what
they would have received under the old
law.
