MUST PAY BACK S35, 10000
Banks Called on to Return Funds
Advanced During Panic

Washington, March 21.-Thirty-
five million dollars of the public de-
posits made by the secretary of the
treasury during the money stringen-
cy in October and November must
be returned by Monday, in accord
ance with the call of Secretary Cor
telyou. A large portion of this sum
has already been paid and it is not
thought that the calling in of the
funds will result in any hardship to
the banks.
The treasury is now operating un-
der heavy deficit paying out daily
an average of 100000 more than it
receives. In addition to eliminating
the deficit, the secretary is endeavor-
ing to restore the $50, 900 working

TAFT is STILL In LEAD.
Convention Vote for Big Secretary
Continues to Increase.

Washington, March 21.-Political
developments of the week have not
served to materially change the sit
uation in the race for the republican
presidential nomination. Secretary
Taft is still far in the lead, with
every prospect of maintaining his
advantage. State republican conven-
tions will be held next week in Illi-
nois, Rhode Island and Tennessee.
The former state will, of course, be
for Cannon. Tennessee will undoubt-
edly select Taft delegation, and
Rhode Island is apparently divided
in it's allegiance between Taft and
Hughes, with the odds in favor of
the former. Congressional district
conventions will be held next week
in several states and all Of them,
with the EXCEPTION of two Illinois
districts, will likely elect Taft dele
gates.

GUY SWEATT INJURED.
Hand Badly Crushed by Piston Rod
of Brazos Valley Engine.

Guy Sweat of this city, fireman
on Trinity and Brazos Valley work
train engine, was badly hurt in the
yards here Saturday morning just
before the crew was ready to start
out on the work for the day. He was
standing beside the engine with his
hand resting on the pistod rod when
the cylinder suddenly filled with
steam, causing the rod to draw
back and catch his hand against the
cylinder. Suffering intense pain he
was held prisoner until the engin-
eer could be called to reverse the
engine. Two or three finger joints
of the right hand were fearfully
crushed but attending physicians do
not apprehend that amputation will
be necessary. The young man was
brought up town to have his injuries
dressed, and was then taken to the
home of his father, Deputy Sheriff

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND
POSTOFFlCE DEPARTMENT
AT WAR.
AN ILLEGAL PRACTICE
Held by Department of Justice That
Letters Deposited in Mail
Boxes Must Be
Stamped.

Washington, March 21.-All mail
able matter placed in rural mail
boxes is subject to the rules and reg
ulations governing the mails, which
of course, includes the payment Of
postage. In the opinion of the de
partment of justice it is unlawful to
drop an unstamped letter in a rural
mail box, but in the opinion of the
postoffice department it is merely
improper, subject to no other penal
ty than the holding of the letter for
postage,
These interesting and conflicted
views have resulted from the submis-
sion of the case to the postoffice de-
partment by Mr.. Slayden. Two of his
constituents, living rather far apart,
but having mail boxes at the same
point, have formed the habit of
dropping unstamped notes into each
others box.
The mail carrier said it was a
violation of the postal rules, and the
department of justice concurred
with him. But Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General DeGraw, in a
letter to Mr.. Slayden, says it is only
an impropriety, and carriers, when
finding such matter on their routes
will be required to bring it into the
postoffice to be held for postage
In giving his reason for this de-
cision, Mr.. DeGraw says there car
| be no divided authority between the
postoffice department and the pa
tron, tfor If this were so it would be
difficult, if not impossible, to en-
force the law protecting rural mail
boxes and their contents from dam
age or depreciation.

Eluding Officers Several Years.
After eluding the officers four or
five years Clifford Cox, young man
who formerly resided in the Oyilla
country, was arrested in Hobart,
Okla, Friday on an Indictment
charging him with the offense of
burglary. He is accused of burglar
izing some houses near Ovilla and
was indicted by the grand jury
shortly after the commission of the
alleged offense. In the mean time he
had left the country and successful
ly evaded the officers until a few
weeks ago when Sheriff Forbes got
trace of him. He learned that Cox
had recently gone to Hobart and the
sheriff there was given authority to
apprehend the fugitive. Friday a tel
egram was received from the Ho-
bart sheriff stating that Cox had
been taken into custody. Constable
McCalpin left Friday night for Ho-
bart to bring the prisoner to Waxa-
