Mr. Robert j. Potts, College Station,
Texas:
we are in receipt of yours in which
the question is submitted as TO the
proper meaning of defined district,
as used in the statute authorizing the
formation Of road Improvement dis
tricts. We think by this is meant any
subdivision of the county which is
described and defined in the petition
for the election and in the election
order, and that this district need not
conform to any existing political sub
division of the county.
Yours very truly.
James d. Walthall,
Assistant Attorney General"
This is an important point and the
ruling will be of general interest.

CHILE coNcARNE AND TAMALEs.
Big Factory to Make Mexican Dishes
in San Antonio.

San Antonio. Texas, Oct. 1.-THE
North and the East are beginning to
appreciate Mexican dishes. such as
chile con carne. tamales and en-
chilades. For several years a large
factory in San Antonio and another al
Austin have been sending out canned
chile powder and other Mexican prep
arations. but the demand for these
goods has recently Increased to such
an extent that San Antonio capital is
preparing to fill the demand for the
fiery food constituting the national
dishes of the sister republic.
Announcement is mae by William
Gebhardt that, in addition ~ his pres
ent factory. he will build another can
ming factory with capacity of 10000
cans of chile con carne and 5000 cans
of tamales daily The output of the
present factories has been insufficient
to meet the demand for some time.

INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE
Prof. Potts, Of A. & M. COLLEGE, Sc
cures a Ruling on Meaning n
OF Road Law.

College Station. Texas, Oct. IA
Robert J. Potts, professor of highway
engineering of the A. e. VI. College of
Texas, has received several inquiries
regarding the proper construction of
certain sections of the road bonding
law of the state. and although he was
thoroughly satisfied In his own mind
on the point raised. he wanted to be
sure and so asked the advice of the
attorney general of Texas The fol.
lowing is the inquiry and the answer:
Hon. Jewel p Lightfoot. Attorney
General. Austin:
In connection with the formation
of road improvement districts. the
question has been raised as TO the
exact meaning OF the term defined
district as contained in section | of
the present road bonding law. My
understanding is that II district Is
laid out and defined by metes and
bounds. ii would satisfy the require
ments of the act for the issuance of
bonds. regardless of whether or not
this district had any political signifi-
canoe whatever. The WaNahachie dis
trict. and possibly some others.
think. are laid out with such an un-
derstanding Of the act. However.
have heard the opinion expressed that
the defined district must be a sub
division of the county having some
political purpose other than that of
road improvement. As | am being
asked to pass on this question. will
appreciate very much a ruling from
your office interpreting the point in
question

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, June 27.-The cotton
market opened steady at q decline of 4
to 10 points in response to lower Liver
pool cables and a more favorable
weather map. The selling vas not ag-
gressive, however, and prices were sus-
tanned around the initial figures by a
moderate demand from shorts and spot
interests who were said to be buying
the new crops as a hedge against mill
requirements. Private cables reported
Manchester a seller in Liverpool. Liv-
erpool appeared to be doing little either
way in the local market, and business
during the early trading was generally
quiet.
Wall Street selling was attributed to
the unsettled stock market, and there
was some selling from Southern and
Western sources during the morning,
but after sagging off to a net loss Of
about 9@12 points, the market steadied
on scattered covering and a little sup-
port from the bull lestiers with prices
at midday two or three points up from
the lowest. Private cables said that
the mill failures reported in Lanca-
shire were small and without any i'm
portant influence. The New York GER
tiicate stock has been reduced to less
than 100000 bales, and further ocean
freight room engagements are reported.

DISTURBERS GET BOTH
BEATINGS AND FINES,

The question as to the f1stic ability of
Patrolman Skillman, of the First Pre-
cinct, was prominently brought out
during the proceedings in the First
Criminal Court today when John
WEIGH. 81 old, of 327 Market
street, and Edward Farley, 30 years old,
of SO Union street, were arraigned on
the charge of creating a disturbance.
Skillman told the Judge that he had
received complaints about a crowd of
men on Mulberry street, one citizen
alleging that he had been asked by one
of the crowd for money, and that he
was afraid to go over Mulberry street
alone. The officer warned the crowd
to dispense, but Farley and WEIGH evil
IDENTIFY had other Ideas and urged Skill
man to "wallop'' them If he dared.
SkIllman laid about him with his night
stick n then locked them both up.
They were fined $25 each by Judge
Hahn.

LAWYER FIGHTS
O|SBARMENT IN
OLD FRAUD CHARGE
Paterson Attorney Is Accused of
Collision in Securing Rich
Mans Divorce.
Especial to the Newark star.l

TRENTON. June 2~7.-Edmund @.
Stalter, representing Robert p. Geyer,
an attorney at law OF Paterson, has
filed in the Court of Chancery an an
swer to the charges made against him,
under which a rule to show cause is
pending why his name should not be
stricken from the rolls of the Court
OF Chancery. Geyer was charged with
having assisted a wealthy Paterson silk
manufacturer named Emil Geering
with obtaining a collusive divorce. also
that he retained moneys paid to him
by Geering, which should have been
paid to Mrs. Geering.
In his answer Geyer admits that he
is guilty of imposing upon the Court of
Chancery, and offers to make restitu-
ton in any N hat the court may
seem fit. He insists, however, hat he
did not In n wise violate his obliga-
tions.
Geyer in his answer says that at the
present time he Is a bankrupt, and
shows that his wife has just under
went a serious operation in a Paterson
Hospital, and that he has been COM
PEELED to care for and cook for two
children during his wife's illness. He
also shows hat he has arranged to
leave the State and secure employ
ment in California. and because of
these conditions he asks the court to
be lenient with him in the present pro-
ceeding for the reason that 1t will in
terfere with his making a proper living
for his wife and family through other
means Of employment.
Geyer was convicted On a charge of
embezzlement in 1909, and an appeal
from the conviction is now pending in
the Supreme Court.
