man hunt in Brazoria county have
( ,ylng in a thicket four miles south
of Sandy Point, surrounded by so
men. The chase has been at its hot
test during the past twenty-four
hours, resulting in the death of two
negroes and one Of the bloodhound5.
The latter was shot by either Deldn
ey or Hayes when the dogs pressed
too closely into their hiding places.
Early yesterday morning a negro
reported seeing Hayes close to his
home, and the dogs were taken there
/ but instead of taking the trail, led
/ the posse to a point about fifty
! yards from Hayes home, where lie
body of Jake Keys, negro so yeas
old, was found. He was heavily arm
ed, and had been shot in the body.
BY whom he was shot is not known.
but it is thought he might have been
the man that the posse took flyina
shots at Thursday. Or it is alsc
thought he was killed by Hayes tc
keen him from telling. Another ne
gro was found dead, having beer
shot and killed near the Lundy farm
three miles southwest of the point
and to this death there seems to b'
no explanation None of the possst
have engaged in any shooting neal
this point.
Thursday afternoon about

left he Went and reported IT TO the
officers. Sheriff Gibson at once put
the dogs on the trail, and after fol-
lowing it for half a mile, one of the
dogs was killed by the fleeing ne
groes.
The posse then surrounded the

PIC SKIN KICKERS GET BUSY


About twenty-five husky fellows
were out on the gridiron at Trinity
University Friday afternoon for a
preliminary uyolt for places on the
hot for other college elevens this
season.
George A. Werner, this season S
coach for the football and baseball
teams, has arrived in the city from
Cincinnati, and was out with the
boys in their first practice. Their
work was under his personal direc-
ton and the start made was Of the
most encouraging. Mr.. Werner has
expressed himself as being well
pleased with the materia from
which the eleven players will be Sc
lected, and feels quite confident
that he will enter the season with a
winning team.
Several of last years players are
trying for places on the team. Nota-
bly, among these might be mentioned
Gibbons, Hood, Berry, Dearing, Kar-
ner, McCollum, Edmondson and
Prude. Edmondson, last seasons
star fullback, will be assigned to his
old position according to the present
deal of the cards. Anderson. Word
and Culbertson are among those who
will try for guard positions. Coach
Werner says he has an abundance OF
good raw material to work on and
he thinks there will be little trouble
| in making up a strong team.
The football enthusiasts know
what the old players mentioned
above can do and they are naturally
looking to them for great things
this season. Especially are they in

bay between the Southern Pacific
docks and the bay ridge when the
twister suddenly made its appear

The Chamber of Commerce has re-

communication from the Roanoke
ChamhC- OF Commerce In regard to
the prop cd movement looking toward
the adoption of an amendment 10 the
State constitution so as to allow such
cities as may desire TO do so to give
the commission form of government a
trial. While this IS an important ques-
ton, deserving serious consideration,
the committee should endeavor to
make it's report TO the chamber Just
as soon as possible in order that the
chamber, in the event 1t is decided
to Join in the movement. may have
us representative present at the con-
ference which Il is proposed to hold
in the near future.
Some time ago Mr.. c. d. West, a
member of the board OF aldermen. an
nounced his intention OF introducing
a resolution in the board with the
view of having a change made in the
m, thod of governing the city. II the
council is going 10 take any acton
along this line, IL might be well 10
appoint committee to confer with
the chambers representative. Even
II this Is not done. it would seem ad-
visable that a committee, or at least
the mayor or city attorney. should be
authorized 20 attend the proposed con.
ference for the purpose of obtaining

STATE TREASURY RUNNING
SHORT OF READY MONEY
Governor Swanson Wants All Delin-
Quests Hailed Into Court and
Compelled to Pay.

RICHMOND. VA. June 15.-Just
how much money may be due the
State is conjectural, but an effort Is
to be made to have ali the fines when
have been imposed during the last
twenty years paid into the State treas
ury at an early date.
The records are kept of all fines i'm
POSED and paid. but no record is maed
of the fines which are imposed on OF
tenders against the peace and dignity
of the Commonwealth and which are
never collected
In the last twenty years not less
than $4,000 a year has been imposed
by courts of all sorts in this State.
and of this amount less than one-hait
has been collected.
Such is the estimate OF a State Of
fetal who has to deal with the financ-
al affairs of the Old Dominion.
The condition OF the treasury. the
fact that during the next six weeks
there are to be heavy drains and that
there is not at this time enough cash
in hand TO meet fixed charges, has at
tracted attention to the outstanding
judgments against persons. II Is be-
lieved that Governor Swanson will in
augurate a scheme whereby all parties
who owe money to the State are to
be hailed to court and made to settle.
This will result in all the delin-
quest being had to the city circuit
court in this city, that court having
exclusive jurisdiction in all such cases
In which the State is a party IL
means that costs will follow, which
will double the amount of the fines in
nearly all cases. Executions will fol-
low and the fines will have TO be
paid. This method will result in bring
ing to the State treasury not less than
500. GOO this year, and the State needs
the money All fines for all INSIDE
meanors. assaults. contempt and all
else will be includede.
There Is not q county or city in the
State in which there Is not on record
fines imposed which have not been col
lected. the officers declining. this
officer says. to enforce the claims for
fear of giving offence when they come
before the people for reelection.
