DRAINAGE BILL is
OF WIDE INTEREST.
The Measure Is Intended Especially
For West Tennessee Lands.

A bill Of much interest," especially to
the citizens Of West Tennessee has been
introduced in the Legislature and pro-
vides for the drainage Of tracts of
swampy and marshy lands. The bill
is a general one. 1t was Introduced in
the Senate by Senator Senter and in the
House by Representative McDade.
A companion bill, calling for an ap-
preparation Of $50, 900 for the survey
ingof much territory in West Tennes-
see, has been introduced in the upper
house and will probably be presented in
the lower branch of the General Assem-
bly, this week. In the event of its fail
ure, however, the first bill is thought to
be sufficient in its provisions to meet
the requirements desired.
Representative McDade, representing
Obion, Lake and Dyer, is enthusiastic
regarding the benefits that will accrue
to many portions Of the State through
the enactment of the proposed law.
He stated that there was much land
that was badly in need of the provi-
sions of the law in his section of the
State.
If the bill is passed it will reclaim
and render of higher value more land
in those portions of the State than has
been reclaimed by the Government in
its irrigation work, said Mr.. McDade.
In explaining the workings of the pro
posed law, the Representative showed
that the expense of the work could
easily be apportioned among the own
ers of the affected tracts of land.
For instance, if one OF the small
rivers in that section winds about sew
eral farms, it can be Strengthened and
to a great extent improve the vast guam
titles of land it regularly overf1ows, !"
he said. OF course, in some instan-
ces it is almost inevitable that some one
may be injured by the drainage, but
this loss can be apportioned. F" The bill
may come up for final action during the
week ~ Nashville Tennessean.

WHITE HOUSE CALLER JAILED

Washington, Feb. "A man named
Lynch, from Connecticut, whom Secre-
tary Loeb declines to identify any more

way to the White House.
incidentally he remarked that he had
an appointment to see the President
Sergeant Harrison, in command of
the White House forces, did not like his
answer, wherefore he was bounded off
to the Central Police Station.
1t is the White House policy to con-
ceal arrests made because the policemen
on duty there are not satisfied as to the
allrightness of persons who inquire
about the President, hence there is no
record of the arrest other than in the
White House watch box
That record consists of the words:

Lynch happened to have papers about
him concerning the Panama Canal

LAURENT sLAYER's DEFENSE.
Accused Mans Delusion Concerning
His Daughter.

Columbus, Miss, Feb. S.-Paranoia
lis what Charles R. Smith, the slayer OF
Eugene A. Laurent, has, according to
DIR. w. r. Mckinley, the first expert
witness introduced by the defense in the
famous murder trial. He was taken
through maze of hair-splittting detini-
tions in the field of medical jurispru-
dence, and after each journey would fall
back on his original statement only to
be confronted by another Hypothetical
question by the prosecution.
1t was DR.. Mckinley who performed
the operation on Miss Smith for a
trouble peculiar to her sex, which her
father, despite the assurances of the
physician and his daughter, persisted in
believing to be criminal. From this
persistence of delusion, based on a
mere suspicion, coupled with the de-
fendant's habit, according to witnesses,
of weeping when there was no apparent
cause, crying and talking while alone,
and gesticulating like preacher"
while riding horseback, through his cot
ton fields, the doctor drew his conclu-
sions.
That jealousy over Miss Lelita King
will not be the motive the State will
urge for the murder of Laurent was
conclusively shown. Mr.. McConnico
in examining Miss Smith asked her
concerning Miss King being at her home,
when she turned to the jury and said?
Gentlemen, | foresee what's COM
ing up. I want to say my father does
not love Miss King and never did love
Miss King"
Mr.. McConnico said: Just to disa
buse your mind, Miss EstelIa, I will say
that the State will make no such con-
tention- +"
This came up when Miss Smith stated
that it was when they were introduced
to Laurent at Artesia last June that her
father was filled with great dislike and
suspicion for Laurent because, in help
ing Miss King from the carriage there
he put his arm around her waist.
Miss Smith stated, however, that Lau
rents conduct toward her had always
been gentlemanly, with the exception
of the time that he permitted her to sit
by negro driver on their return to the
station, when he himself sat on the rear
seat of the hack with Miss King.
Miss Smith, in her direct examina-
ton, said: When my father accused
me of improper conduct with Mr.. Lau
rem and threatened to kill him, l said,
Spare me! Spare your child this time
and we will start life all over again.
By that | meant Just what am going
through with now. / knew then that

PROF. MooRE's SCHOOL
Entertainment at San Angelo, Texas,
by Teachers and Pupils.


A large and cultured audience was
delightfully."- entertained Friday evening
by Prof Moore's pupils and Miss LYDIA
Moore at the latter's pretty home, 125
Preusser street, East Angelo.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. NJ. Gribbon, who
conduct studio in the city, in violin
and piano, kindly assisted Miss Moore
in the musical program, and since all
three of the above named artists are so
we'll known as being among San Ange-
los leading musicians, the mere men
ton of their names is enough said.
The members of the Moore School
Literary Society ably discussed the
query Resolved, That Napoleon Bona
parte was the greatest military genius
the world has ever produced. F."
A Standard scribe was welcome
guest at this charming function and
was delighted with the manner in which
the pupils in this choice school acquit-
ted themselves Their ready response
to every expressed wish of the tutor,
and their thorough preparation gave the
best evidence of devotion to their
teacher and the power for good that he
wields over them. Each student who
participated in the debate deserves spe-
cial mention, and this scribe ventures
the prediction that some day, not far
distant, these bright young pupils will
win name for themselves, JOY ever
lasting to their parents and source of
everlasting pride to their teacher.
Prof. Moore is quietly, unostenta- 4
tiously doing splendid work in San
Angelo. He is one of the most scholar
arly gentlemen in West Texas and is a
born teacher Most of his long and
useful life has been spent in the school
room, and his pupils may be found in
all the walks of life, many of them oc-
cupying exalted positions in political,
commercial and other high stations.
One of the secrets of Prof Moore sue
cess in school work is his thoroughness
in whatever he attempts to do; another
secret is his splendid disciplinary pow
ers and the enthusiasm he throws into
his work. Not how much, but how
well, is his policy, and when a lesson is
assigned to the pupil it must be master
ed before entering upon the study of
the next lesson. If the pupil solves a
problem in mathematics the teacher is
not satisfied merely with the answer"
the pupil must explain the why's and
the wherefores for every step taken in
reaching a correct solution, and if un-
able to do this, the professor is in doubt
as to his knowledge ofthe subject He
contends that if pupil understands
problem, he ought to be able to explain
it, and if he can't explain his problem,
he ought to stay with it until able to

Inquiry Into Financial Effect of Pro-
hibition.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 9.-The House
this morning, after spirited debate, Ia
bled resolution calling for the appoint
ment of committee to ascertain the
value of property to be made vacant by
the passage of the Prohibition laws.
Mr.. Garden led the fight for adopting
the resolution.
The House rejected Senate bill pro-
hibiting the sale of pistols, and passed
two Senate bills, one establishing COM
mission to promote uniform legislation
in the United States and the other to
provide for the probate of wills Of people
dying in foreign countries.
Mr.. Stewart arose to question of per-
sonal privilege, and in speech of much
feeling scored the Tennessean for record
ing him as voting to sustain the Govern
or's veto on the Prohibition bill. He
stated he did his best to be present and
vote, but was detained at the last mo-
ment. He declared he was staunch
Prohibitionist, as his record would
show, and that his only offense, in the
eyes of the Tennessean, was that he was
a friend of Gov. Patterson
After hearing message from the
Governor, in which he called attention
to, the expiration of the lease of the con-
yicts on March /, and urged immediate
legislation, the House adjourned until
the afternoon.
IN THE SENATE.
In the Senate, the most important
bill was introduced by Mr.. Cummings
which seeks to authorize all counties to
issue coupon school bonds. This would
leave the amount of these bonds dis
cretionary with the County Courts, and
does away with the necessity for SO
many local bond issue enabling acts.
The Senate passed large number of
local bills on final reading, including
four bills amending the charter of Nash
vile in minor particulars.
Messrs. Howse and Matthews secured
the unanimous passage of resolution
memorializing Congress to issue two per
cent bonds to the extent of $500, 600, 900
for river and harbor Improvements.
