FATAL FEUD IN TEXAS
Prominent Attorney at Center Shot

From Train-outsrowth Of Recent
Trouble, Involving a Negro.

Center, Texas, May 1.--Carroll b.
Short, a prominent attorney was shot
and instantly killed last night by DR..
Buck Paul. as he stepped from train.
The shooting grew out of feud Of
several months standing. In Decerf-
ber last. brother of Paul was shot
and killed by negro In the employ of
Short. and his brother, while leading
Il posse which was attempting to arr
rest the negro IT was alleged at the
time that the killing was instigated by
the Shorts. as the outgrowth of polit-
ical matters, and public feeling ran so
high that 1t was necessary to call out
two companies OF militia to prevent
mob violence. The negro was tried,
convicted and hanged within the space
of few hours. The shooting last
night was the direct result of the for
mer affair, and it is feared still further
trouble will follow.

SCRUGHAM IN DENIAL
Manager Of Policy Holders Committee
Says He and His Assistants Are
euiItIe.s Of Wrong Doins-AIl Re.
leased on Bail.

New York, May 1.-When George d.
Scrugham, manager Of the internation-
al policyholders' committee and Charles
F. Darlington and Charles Stirrup, as
| sistant managers, arrested last night
I on charges of forgery in connection
with the recent election Of directors
| Of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, were arraigned before a police
magistrate today and their cases were
continued until Monday. Scrugham
and Stirrup were released on $4,000
bail, and Darlington on $4,000.
Before he was arraigned Scrugham
issued statement in which he declared
his acts of an entirely legal nature had
been misconstrued so as to make it ap-
pear an attempt was made to circum-
vent the laws governing the insurance
election and to procure counting by
fraud Of ballots not properly executed.
AS q matter Of fact" said he,
these charges do not have to do with
the alleged tampering with the Fbal-
lots at all, but refer to the filling in Of
names and addresses on envelopes in
which the ballots were sent to inspect
ors at the New York Life Insurance
Company's office. There never has been
any attempt at concealment in the
matter
Scrugham attributed the arrest of
himself and assistants to those inter-
eSted in defeating the objects of the
International policy holders commit
tee.
Il have" he said. mo fear for the
outcome OF this matter, which l shall
make it my business to have sifted to
the bottom"
Scrugham denied that he, Caring
ton or Stirrup ever gave orders to three
women clerks to attempt to initiate the
hand writing of policy holders in ad
dressing envelopes for 1,100 ballots.
