WHOLESALE Theft OF HORSES
Important Arrest Made When Jack
Williams Was Captured.

An important arrest was made in
Waxahachie Thursday morning when
Sheriff Forbes captured Jack Will
liams, alias John Wilson, and landed
him in Jail on a charge of horse
theft. Recent developments show that
If Williams was not member of a
well organized band OF horse thieves
his operations extended over wide
territory. 1t is believed that he had a
number of confederates who aided
him in getting stolen stock out of
the country, During the past few
months several horses and mules
have been stolen from Ellis county
citizens and so far as known none
of them have ever been recovered.
When Williams returned to Waxa-
hachie Thursday mo ming he made
a mistake that landed him in the
meshes of the law. He again sought
out the wagon yard where he stop
ped last spring when he passed
his possession. He was driving a
black mule to buggy that was al
most new and was leading a hand
some bay filly. Deputy Sheriff Hick-
man called at the wagon yard Fri
day morning and made a careful in
spection of the property. He identi-
fed the mule and buggy as having
been stolen from Temple on the night
of July Is. He had been furnished
with description Of the mule and
buggy by the constable at Temple
The marks and brands described on
the card were found on the mule
The Temple officer was notified of
the find and instructed to come and
prove the property for the rightful
owner. 1t is believed the filly be-
longs to citizen Of the Auburn
community, who lost a young animal

REDUCE SIZE OF LEGISLATURE
Brownwood Legislator Would Also
Decrease Number Of Meetings..

c. n. Jenkins, representative from
Brown and Coleman counties, will
introduce bill when the thirty-first
Legislature meets that will make the
state 'sit up and take notice" The
bill will call for constitutional
amendment making sweeping chang
es in the legislative branches of the
state government The most salient
clase, of the bill are:
That the legislature shall meet
regularly but once in four years.
That the governor shall call extra
session, when occasion demands
That there shall be but ga repre-
sentatives instead of 1876 and is
senators instead of 81.
That each member of the legisla-
ture shall receive salary of $500
per year.
That in event bill passes one
branch of the legislature and the
other branch fails to concur within
ten days, the speaker of the house
shall call for joint session and
make the bill the order of the day
until disposed of, each member OF
the legislature, senator and represen-
tative, shall have an equal vote
Mr. jenkins bill will apportion the
representation by having four repre-
sentatives to each congressional dis
trict and one senator to each district
| But in order that the representation
| should be equally divided the bill
provides that no connty shall be divi-
| ded. For instance in this district San
Antonio would probably, according
to population, be entitled to more
than one representative, hut only one
could be elected from Bexar county
| This would give each section of each
district representation.
Mr.. jenkins says that once In four
years is as often as 1t is necessary
for the legislature to meet The bill
will also contain q clause tightening.
the term of Office of the legislature
to four years instead of two years
The bill will no doubt cause more
comment than any measure that has
been introduced since some OF the
| famous Hogg amendments and MT.
Jenkins thinks that the measure will
have to be fought out before the peo-
pie before it will finally pass. With
the great number of members In the
Legislature there will be many who
| will not vote to reduce the size of
the body and thereby deprive many
of them Of the Offices. But Mr.. tJen-
kins has faith in the ultimate sue
| cess Of the amendment and will make
his opening fight when the 31st legis-
lature convenes. s.--Brownsville Bulle-

Plan to Take a Joint
Action.

All Revolutionary Leaders Hereafter
VIII Be Regarded as Criminals.
Two Republics to Adopt
Drastic Measures.

Washington, July 31.-Inability
to extradite offenders for so-called
political offenses but which in the
opinion of the administration are
really crimes that should be extra
ditabls, is proving source of great
irritation in the effort which the
government of the United States is
making to break revolutionary activ-
ity Along the Mexican-Texas boun-
Diary. This, coupled with the diff
Guilty in detecting and proving vio-
lations of the neutrality law, makes
it difficult to convince the Mexican
authorities of the sincerity of the
government of the United States in
its expressed determination to pun
ish the guilty and this notwithstand-
ing every possible bit of machinery
at the disposition of the government
is working to common end. In his
! recent trip to Oyster Bay, Ambassa-
| dorf Creel talked over the whole sub
| ject of the border trouble with Pres
! ident Roosevelt, who manifested a
lively interest and who is determined
! to put an end to the mischief-mak-
/ ing as far as lies in the govern
ment's power. The president favors,
! If necessary, the employment of spe-
cial counsel who may apply them
selves to the question of neutrality
violations by extradition. so that the
law may be fully enforced. officials
say there is no reason why persons
on this side of the border who TO-
| ment revolutionary movements and
! cross into Mexico to engage in raids
and other operations of a criminal
character and then seek safety from
punishment in this country, should
have an exemption from prosecution
on the alleged ground that their acts
are political. On the contrary, the Of
! fetal view is that they should be ex-
tradited, as felons. Both the United
States and the Mexican governments
it was officially stated today, are full
| ly aroused in this matter and that
the former will take drastic steps to
end the reported pernicious activity
SO far as it is possible.
| The reported presence of Mexican
| revolutionists near the Texas border
line and subsequent fight with Mex
lean troops brought Ambassador
Creel to the state department yester-
| day. The officials here believe that
| these revolutionists crossed the Tex
as border line and their belief ap-
pears to be confirmed by dispatches
| which Mr.. Creel received from his
government, containing a warning OF

to stop it. The ambassador announc-
ed that his government had estab-
lished and garrisoned eleven posts
