DECLARE WAR
ON VAGRANTS
Chief Brandenburg Of Dallas Is
sues Special Instructions
to Officers.
PETTY GRIMES NUMEROUS
Within Last Few Days
Have Caused Determination to
Drive Out Lazy Negroes.
Orders Positive.

Dallas Texas, April 25.-Chief of
Police Brandenburg has declared his
determination to rid several sections
Of Dallas of negro vagrants, and
with this end in view has issued pos
tive instructions to the police to
give special attention to this class of
offenders. His action is due to rob-
berries reported within the course of
the last few days.
The chief made the following
statement yesterday:
81 am determined to exert every
possible effort within my command
to rid the city of negro yags. 1t
seems that it is almost an impossi-
bility to secure conviction in the
city, justice or county courts, because
of the fact that almost invariably the
negroes arrested or their lawyers,
bring up witnesses whose testimony
knocks the prosecution In the head.
However, we will try to get around
this, and beat them even at this
game.
There are hundreds of lazy, trif-
ling negroes lying around in different
parts of the city, whose chief occupa-
tion is devising some ways or means
of thieving and robbery. They only
fear the law and if there is any
chance for them to commit a rob-
berry and get away with it they are
more than willing to do so, or to
take a chance. | believe the police
will be able to rid the city of thfs
particular nuisance within reason
able short time. In any event we will
do our level best"

Committee on public buildings and
grounds will report sixty thousand
dollars for public building in Waxa-

The report mentioned by Con-
gressman Beall was due to be sub
mitted to the lower house today, but
final action may not be taken until
some time next week. The Waxaha-
chic item is included among other
items for appropriations for public
buildings in Texas. 1t is believed the
bill as reported by the committee
will be passed unanimously but 1t
is said there may be some opposition
to it in the senate. 1t is now up to
the people of Waxahachie to get in
communication with Senator JuE-
berson at once and urge him to add
$4,000 to the item when the bill
reaches the senate and to exert
every effort possible to secure its
passage.

DOC CARRIED ) MILES BY WIND
Only Apparent Injury Sustained Was
Scratch on Breast

The tornado which destroyed the
residence of VIII Kennedy near Rice
Thursday afternoon carried dog
about three and half miles, and
the only apparent injury sustained
by the canine was a slight scratch on
the breast. This four-footed hero of
the storm is an English coach dog
and belongs to Robert Kennedy of
this city. He makes his home at the
Patton-Kennedy livery stable and
answers to the name of John. Mr.
Kennedy was in town few days ago
and took the dog home with him
When the family fled from the house
to take refuge in a cellar the canine
was forgotten and left in one OF the
rooms. Considering the fact that the
house was torn into fragments and
the wreckage strewn over the ground
for distance of mile or more the
escape of the dog with his life is re-
garded as a little short of miracu-
lOuS.
John c. and Robert Kennedy went
to Rice Friday morning to look af-
ter their brother and his family Mrs
Kennedy and the children were
brought home with them that night.
Mr.. Kennedy has gone to work on
the erection of a new house.
From the Messrs. Kennedy it was
learned that the house was picked
up from its foundation and COM
pletely demolished. Pieces of timbers
We're found sticking in the ground
fully a mile from where the building
stood. Mr.. Kennedy and family lost
everything they had except the cloth
ing they wore to the storm house.
Shreds of bed clothing and wearing
apparel We're found on wire fences
nearly two miles from the house. The
furniture was broken up and scat
tered over considerable area, many
pieces of which could not be found.
stack of wood which stood near
the house was not harmed and a
small chicken coop at the rear of the
house was not disturbed by the wind.
