FROM THE CAPITAL CITY
No Charters win Re Filed Until MAY /
Reasons for The Action.
LONG LIST OF FUGlTIyfS FROM JUSTICE
Has been Prepared by the Adjutan,
Observation-Disclosures school Trustees
Have Applied for Mnndnmus.

Austin, Texas. April 25.-Secretary OF
state Hardy makes the announcement
that he will file no more charters and is
sue no more permits until after May ex-
oept where It is especially requested by
applicants apprised of the conditions fully.
Ills reasons for this are that any corpora
uon Ming charter or receiving a permit
now prior to May will have to pay a
franchise tax amounting to full year,
TAX Tor the few days intervening between
now and May l. 1900, and on or before
May !, 1900, would have to repay the same
amount, or else incur a forfeiture of their
rights. 1t appearing to the secretary that
parties making application for permits
and to have charters filed at this particu-
lar time are not advised OF this effect of
the statute, he thinks 1t would be but JUS
tlce to them to withhold their charters
and papers for the few days from now
until May l. OF course where parties
urge that their charters be filed at once,
he VIII gladly conform to their request
when accompanied with the fees, as above
stated.

rUGrTIvEs FROM JUSTICE.

Several months ago the adjutant gem
erals department began the work of COM
piling list OF all the fugitives from JUS
tice known to the peace officers of the
State, the same to be used as guide
and reference book rot only for this
States corps Of officers. but others. TO
that end a request was sont to all the
various sheriffs in the State TO send in
any names they might have in their pos
session to the adjutant general. The re-
plies have been liberal and with the list
already on fle in the adjutant generals
office said office has just compiled a list
containing 5000 names Of iugltives from
justice, their crime, when committed and
where wanted to answer to the law.
This list covers a period from 1875 to the
present time, and while il is believed that
there are some mentioned In the list
who have passed in their checks" IL is
safe 10 say that the list for the most part
represents live fugitlves and will undoubt-
cdly prove a valuable reference book for
the officers. The copy has been furnished
the printer and II is expected that the
printed lists will shortly be ready for
distribution.
