BOOKMAKERS ARE PUT
ON THE RUN IN TEXAS

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. A commit
tee of the lower house of the legisla-
ture, after many hearings, has decided
to report favorably a bill creating a
state racing commission, which is to
pass upon all racing matters.
Race meetings are to be limited to
fifteen days under the auspices of any
one association and to thirty days
within one county. An absolute ban
is placed upon pool rooms and on sell
ing information to pool rooms within
the state. The commission is to con-
troll the betting, which must be under
the Paris Mutual system. The per-
centage, however, is to go to the as
sociation holding the meeting.

Awful Work of Tornado.

or more lives were lost, sixty people
were injured and porperty worth ST.
600, 600 was destroyed as a result of
the tornado that wrecked this town
last night. Many women were among
the seriously injured.
The tornado spread above the city
only few miles, but its work of de.
struction was complete. The Catholic
church, standing directly in the path
of the storm alone escaped damage.
1t has been converted into hospital.
The principal streets are impass able
and are piled high with wreckage.
Every business house is in ruins and
there Is hardly home that has not
been damaged. All the hotels were
demolished, but the guests escaped.
Relief forces have been at work all
day caring for the dead and injured.
The Rock Island and St. Louis rail-
roads have. placed cars at the dis.
posal of the local relief committee and
many people are leaving Brinkley,
seeking temporary refuge at other
points nearby.

To Investigate Land Frauds.

sioner Bennett o. the general land
Office is preparing vigorously to pro.
secu,e al irvestig alton into charges
OF wholesale fraudulent acquire.
ments OF public lands in the west by

The proposed investig alton is the
result of au appeal made to congress
by former Secretary Garfield for a
million dollar fund with which to re-
cover more than s1lO, 900, 900 worth of
land alleged to have been fraudulently
acquired from the public dom ain.
Officials believe that there is reasona.
BILE prospect of recovering much OF the

The commissioner will gradually
increase the force of special field
agents to about $50 men to investigate
more than $4,000 cases of alleged
frauds now in hand and to undertake
any new cases that may arise.

Democrats Oppose Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 13. The
house democrats will oppose duty
on coffee and provision of new tariff
bill re-establishing the stamp tax on
checks, bonds and stocks. If the re.
publicans do not provide for an in
heritance tax in the bill, the democrats
declare they will fight to have an
amendment taxing legacies and, it is
said, would in this way embarrass the
republicans on account of the recon.
mend ations OF Presidents Roosevelt
and Taft.
Representative Underwood of Ala.
bama, minority member of the
ways and means committee, declared
that if the duties were determined on a
revenue basis, there would be no
need for taxing the breakfast table or
imposing stamp tax. He said an
Inheritance tax offers the best means
for making up the treasury deficit and
that if the new bill contained pro.
vision for such tax, neither the duty
on coffee nor that on beer need be in
creased.

Simplified spelling is to exist no
more in White house correspondence

There is 10 be no more puzzliug over

Settlers Will Get Patents.

HELENA, March 13.-All forms of
land entries in Montana which have
been held up for one reason or an
other are to be disposed of by the end
of this year. The force of special
land agents now in the state is to be
doubled for this purpose, and as
rapidly as possible these cases will be
settled for or against the government.
This program was decided on at q
conference in Washington from which
L. P. Sharp, chief of the field division
in this district, returned today. At
the conference were Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger, Commissioner
bennett and Chief of the Field Divi.
sion Schwartz.
The total number of land entries
hung up pending investig alton am.
cunts to $500 In Montana. The bulk
OF these are entries held up for coal
examin nation, but they include timber
trespass cases, unlawful enclosures, a
few mineral cases and some miscellan.
eous entries.
The disposal of these cases will be
greatly facilitated BY a law which was
enacted at the recent session and which
permits entrymen to file waivers to all
mineral rights on homestead entries,
they retaining the surface rights. In
northern and eastern Montana there
are hundreds of homesteads which
have not been allowed to proceed to
patent, but which under the terms of
this law can be quickly disposed of.
