CONDITIONS IN TEXAS

In Texas reports covering the
week to Saturday night at 6 o.
clock show that abundant rains
fell in southern and western
parts of the state and that the
crop, although it had suffered Sc
verely, was much benefited. In
central and northern counties
some rains fell with great bene-
fit to the cotton, but many dis
tricts in those sections had very
light showers or no rain at all
and are still dry. 1t is character

BALTIMORE BOwLERs TO GOTHAM
Request Certain Day Designated as
Baltimore Day.

NEW YORK, March 13.-One hundred
and twenty-five bowlers Of Baltimore have
requested the United Tournament COM
parry. which will manage the national
bowling tournament in Madison Square
Garden, May "a to june 12. to set aside
May 81 for Baltimore day. On this date
the Marylanders will roll in the five-man
event and will take part on the following
day in the doubles and singles. There will
be twenty five-men teams. according to
the present calculations. A big delegation
Of private citizens and public officials will
accompany the teams in the hope of OBJ
tanning the convention and tournament Of
1910.
Joseph Thum, the alley owner Of this
city. has been coaching a team of New
York policemen, who will roll in the tourn-
ament. The police team challenges any
other similar quintet Of bowlers in any
part of America TO a match on the Garden
alleys, to be rolled during the national
tournament Nor is the challenge con-
fined 70 one team. 1t is quite likely that
a team OF letter carriers and a team of
firemen will also issue challenges to those
of other cities. while the probabilities Of
matches between teams from various New
York city departments are bright.
William cordes, president Of the United
Tournament company, has a number OF
matches In tow. the principal one being
between Jimmy Smith. who defeated Louis
Franz of Cleveland, in the first half Of
their h-ome-and-home match, and Alexan-
der Dunbar. The Bergman brothers have
challenged Smith, but the latter prefers
that his meeting with Dunbar take place
on the alleys in Madison Square Garden.

lures on new alleys with which neither

The party Of Cleveland bowlers tina Wis

its trip and promises half a dozen or more

that a match between Dave Shiman and
Louis Franz will take place in the Garden,

BEGINS WAR AGAINST FOG
French Engineer Trying 10 Clear Air
by Means of Electric
Waves.

PARIS, March 13-H. Dibos. the French
engineer, is at present conducting a series
of experiments on the English chanhel
which have given rise to the hope that
the New York harbor may ultimately be
kept free Of fog. Attracted by the Eng
fish experiments for dlssipating fog by
means OF electrical discharges, M. Dibos
conceived the idea of a combination Of
Hertzlan waves. Beneath a powerful Hert-
zian plant which emits waves of 4o.c0O
volts. he placed four huge blow pipes d.
rected to the four points of the compass
simultaneously with the discharge of the
Hertzian waves the blow pipes, each Civ
ing a temperature OF 1900 degree, cent?
grade, were lighted. In from twenty to
thirty minutes a thick fog was dispersed
over a zone OF 900 yards. Encouraged by
this success the experiments will be con-
tinued.

NEW YORK. March l3.-Joe Cans. former
lightweight champion of the world, easily
defeated Jabez White, the English light
weight champion, in a ten-round bout at
the National Athletic club last night. Ii
was a tame exhibition and the big crowd was
disappointed. as the men were slow and
lacked force behind many of their blows.
White used his left cleverl. in the eirst
two rounds. nut in the third he changed
his tactics. relying on his right. Two rounds
later the cause of this shift was apparent.
White had broken his left arm some time
ago in England and he hurt it early in the
third round tonight.
White was knocked down once in the
fifth. twice i'm the seventh, when the bell
saved him by one second, and once In the
eighth.
Cans was far from being the Cans of
even two years ago, after he missed sew
eral blows, misjudging distance and falling
to take advantage of many opportunities
that presented themselves. The men
weighed in at 3 o'clock. Cans weighed in
at 1914 and White was just 1875.

ROBBERS MURDER RECLUSE
c. w. Brown Found Dead in Shanty
Near Valparaiso.
NO CLUE TO THE PERPETRATORS
Victim Was wealthy. Lived Alone
and Generally Credited with
keepine Much Money
Around Him.

VALPARAISO, Neb., March 1~3.-(Special
Telegram)-"Murder by an unknown hand"
was the verdict OF the coroner's Jury
which Investigated the death Of c. w.
Brown, the aged and wealthy recluse who
was found beaten to death on the floor of
his little shanty about three miles from
this place. The coroner's investigation de-
veloped what may possibly be clues, but
the officers in charge are still a good deal
in the dark as to the perpetrators of the
crime.
The inquest developed the fact that the
murder was committed wednesday night
and that without doubt robbery was the
motive. Brown was wealthy and did not
bank his money. II was generally supposed
he carried a large sum around with him.
When he was found there was no money
on him and the house showed evidence
the robbers had made a thorough search
for 1t. 1t had been thoroughly ransacked.
Brown was last seen alive on Wednesday
and it is thought the murder was COM
mitted that night. The body was not found
until Friday afternoon.
Neighbors, who went to the house Friday
found the door hooked from the outside.
The body of, Brown, horribly mutilated

the whole house in confusion. The ex-
animation OF the body disclosed that Brown
had been literally beaten to death. Parts
OF a revolver were found on the floor near
the body, indicating the robber had used
his gun as a club and had broken it. 4
piece of stove wood covered with blood
and hair showed that it had been used
after the gun had broken. The pieces Ct
revolver furnish important clues to the
murderer. Some of the POUNDS indicated a
club with a spike in 1t had been one Of
the weapons. There were no gunshot
wounds on the body.
Coroner Biggerstaff impanelled a jury
this afternoon and went over all the avail
able evidence. Detective Malone of Lincoln
has been called into the case and was
here looking over the ground.
Brown was the owner OF farms near
Valparaiso, Willard, Seward and another
in Wisconsin. He has a brother j. p.
Brown, and a nephew, Frank p. Brown,
living in Florence. He had lived I'm the
little shanty near here for the last forty
years. He was a bachelor.
