BAILEY DEFENDS
LEGAL PRACTICE
Criticisms Bring Statement
But No Apology From
Texas Senator.

Senator Joseph W. Bailey. OF Texas,
has issued from Dallas statement in
answer 10 criticisms Of himself for
some Of his business relations in his
capacity as attorney for large inter
ests. The Senator admits the profess
siouaI services he has rendered for
such interests. as he has done before,
and makes no apology for them, He
simply says they have been miscon-
strued and misunderstood.
These charges, the Senator points
out. are not new They are only re-
vival Of attacks made on him during
the Senatorial campaign six years ago.
AS 10 the revival Of the campaign at
this time he says:
THE first step I'm this campaign Of
malevolence and detraction was to have
a purported interview with the Hon.
Roger Sullivan. Of Illinois. assalling
me sent broadcast over the country.
Air. Sullivan promptly denounced that
interview as q faIsehnOd. The next
step was 10 circulate the falsehOOd
that the Tennessee railroad properties,
for which ] am the attorney, belong %
the Standard oil Company Some OF
the men who are circulating that story
know. and ali Of them could have
learned. with very little inquiry. that
the Standard oil Company had no In
terest In or connection with these
properties.
's,The railroad had passed through
one reCelVership and was ON the verge
OF another when 7 was called into the
case. j accepted the employment and
performed exactly the same kind Of
service that would have been expected
OF any other reputable lawyer. The
statement that I put Sl3,0O0,000 worth
Of securities in my pocket, TO do with
them as / pleased. is little less than
ridiculous.
Il have carefully read the circular
issued by the Good Government Club,
Of Houston, and 7 was impressed when
reading 10 with the striking similarity
between il and the Cosmopolitan Mag
azine article. IN fact. it appears TO be
a special effort 10 justify that scurrilous
and Infamous attack upon me.
"The first criticism against my busi-
ness dealings Is with reference 10 my
attomeyshIp for John II. Kirby and the
Kirby Lumber Company, which is ia
substance merely q restarement Of mat
ter from the Cosmopolitan Magazine

SHAW WRITES PLAY
ALL ABOUT DEATH

LONDON, Sept. 26.-Death is to be the
theme of George Bernard Shaw's next
play. on which he has been q, work
during his vacation in Cornwall
Apparently the new piece, although
"aH about death" win not be tragedy,
as Mr.. Shaw described it as "the most
amusing play he has ever written. II
VIII be i'm five acts. with the fatal climax
at the end of the fourth.
The play is the result of an article
written by William Archer, the famous
critic. a friend of Shaw. in which he
declared that Shaw could not claim 10
be a great dramatist until he had faced
the King of Terrors on the stage
Shaw took up the challenge and has
written this new play All about death, q"
which will be produced in London during
the coming season. 1t is called The
Doctors Dilemma"
