BIG SHIPMENT FROG HIDES.
Sixteen Hundred Pounds lncIud-
ing Packing Made from
Crowley.
Crowley Signal.

Crowley Signal.
The capture and shipping of
frogs to the epicure of Houston
and other cities has given rise to
another industry-the prepare
ton of frog hides. While the
frogs sent to New Orleans are
shipped alive, those consigned to
Texas points are killed and
cleaned here, the edible parts
being packed in ice. The hides
are thrown into barrels and
sprinkled with salt. to be sent to
the tannery and made into pocket
books and other leather articles
for the ladies'. An idea of the
number of frogs killed and
skinned in this way this season
in Crowley may be gathered
from the fact that a shipment of
five barrels of hides was made
this morning, weighing no less
than 1000 pounds. An ordinary
bull frogs hide does not weigh
much, and it would be hard to
make even a guess at the number
it must have taken to make up
that weight. The shipment
went down on the bill of lading
as Five barrels green frog
hides" and it's ten to one more
than a couple of railroad men
will think it a josh. but the bar
rels will be there to speak for
themselves.

Candidate Printed While You Don't Wait Herald
BURTON HAS NOT
ASKED FOR PARDON
AND SAYS HE NEVER WILL ASK
FOR EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY
FOR CRIME NOT COMMITTED.

Special to the Herald.
Topeka, Kas., June Ex-senator
Burton does not want a pardon, never
will ask for one, and depreciates the
efforts now declared being made for
him in this respect This statement
was made today by Messrs. Magoner,
Hackney and Rossington, his lawyers.
This statement is in reference to dis
patches which say that Burton and
his attorneys have practically aban-
doned the case or are ready to aban-
don it if assurance can be obtained
that a pardon can be secured. This
movement may have originated with
some of the ex-Senator's friends, and
it may be in good faith, but it GER
tainly is not to his interest, nor is
it treating the supreme court with
proper respect The case is still
pending on application for a rehearing
and we have great faith in the justice
Of the case. We expect to win" If
the case finally goes against Burton
his attorneys say he would wrong
himself and the state that has honored
him if he should apply for a pardon,
and are authorized to say for him
that neither now nor at any time will
he ask for a pardon. They ask all of
his friends to be guided by his wishes
as thus expressed. Burton says he
will rest his case in the courts, and
will obey their mardate whatever it
may be, and while he will contend to
the last for his honor and his good
name, asserting his innocence al
ways, if the final decree is against
him he will not turn to the executive
for pardon for a crime that he never
committed.

VIII Be Borne BY the Federal Gov
srnment.-senate Yielded.

Washington, d. c., June 2s.-Mr.
Proctqr today presented to the seH
l - of Tie conferees- on the
AGRICULTURAL Bin Containing the meat
inspection provision. He requested
the senate to authorize the conferees
to accept the house provision and en-
tered a motion to that effect, which
Mr.. Beveridge supported.
Senator Nelson declared that the
bill had been shaped in the interest
Of the packers and the range cattle
men. and that in the absence of a
correct label 'it seems a legislative
abortion and we submit like licked
dogs and accept their meat, not
knowing whether 1t be fresh or as old
as Methusaleh."
Senator Stone confessed to speak
ing in behalf of the packers among
others of his constituents, and com
planned especially of the practice Of
holding the packers of the entire
country responsible for the derelic-
lions Of few in Chicago.
Senator McCumber said: We have
met the enemy and we are theirs;
indemnity, $4,000, 600" He opposed
the motion to recede.
Senator Proctor withdrew his mo-
ton and the bill went pack 10 con-
ference.
Later the conferees returned to
the senate chamber and Mr.. Proctor
presented the report. 1t was read
and. without comment, was agreed to.
It carried the meat inspection provis-
ion as presented by the house. To
night the house adopted the report.
This passed the bill. and when signed
by the presiding officers of both the
houses, it will go to the president.

the Texas claim was for equipping

tier protection, long before the war.
General Hulon states that this Can
ton man knows absolutely nothing
about it, as he received a communion
ton from him making inquiries and
just why he should block the appro-
priation is not known. The announce
ment by Congressman Dalzell of this
letter sustained a point of order
against the claim being considered.
Congressman Burleson is at work
trying to get the claim inserted in the
senate bill and may succeed, but the
action of this Canton citizen has
thrown a big obstacle in the way.
