SCLONS SCORED.
Members Of Legislature Criti-
cised bv Sheriffs.

San Antonio. July 10.--At the meet
ing OF the sheriffs' association Fort
Worth was selected as the next meet
ing place. and the following officers
we're elected: President. George s
Matthews. Travis county: vice pres
ident. James Landry. jefferson coun-
ty; secretary and treasurer. John p.
King, Travis county.
A resolution was adopted on the
snti-pass question 20 the effect that
the sheriffs should not request trans
portation except trip passes OF any
railroads except those which touch OF
pass through the couties comprising
the judicial district to which the sher'
III or other peace officer belongs. II
Is believed that this will result In
the railroads continuing to issue pass
es 20 sheriffs and cause them 10 aban
don the threat to withdraw such IA
vors.
Every speech made referred In un
complimentary terms 10 the legisla
ture for passing the anti.pass law and
otherwise trying 10 cut off the emoiu
ments OF the sheriffs. and the indi'
cations are that the sheriffs viii at
tempt TO prevent the reelection OF
many OF the present members. One
sheriff stated that another legislature
like the present one would send al the
sheriffs TO the poor house.

portions OF Tennessee and Kentucky.
reached a climax Tuesday. when the
Sarah Law chapter. United Daughters
OF the Confederacy. adopted drastic
resolutions. denouncing as false.
charges made against Mrs. T. J. La
than OF Memphis. and demanding the
name OF the person or persons re-
sponsible for the reports upon which
letter written by General II. A. Ty-
Ter OF Hickman. KY. was based.
The circular. sof which thousands OF
copies. carefully guarded from the
press. were circulated at United
Daughters Of Confederacy and other
Confederate gatherings. was In the
form OF letter from General Tyler
10 Mrs. W. A. Collier OF Memphis.
II detailed charges against the 10y
atty OF Mrs Latham and her husband
20 the Confederate cause during the
late war. and declaring that. under
the circumstances. her prominent posi-.
ton in Confederate gatherings was In
bad taste.
Investigation Of the charges is be.
ing made by committee OF seven
Confederate veterans. of which Dab.
ney NJ. $. Scales Is chairman. The
meeting Of the Sarah Law chapter
was a part OF the investigation.
At the reunion 81 the Forest caval-
~ veterans here last year Hon. II. A.
Tyler according to common report

than on Confederate work. declaring

states. and that she had not been es.
corted TO the Canadian boundary line

ed TO have claimed The incident was
hushed up at the time. and II was
declared that resolutions generating
her OF the charge were passed by the
Sarah Law and Mary Latham chap
ters. United Daughters OF the Confed
eracy.
These. too. were carefully kept from
the general public. The next step IN
the controversy was the distribution
of the dodgers at the state meetinr

federacy at Columbia. Tenn. Efforts
