MAY NOW EXAMINE
BOOKS OF EVERY
CITY DEPARTMENT
Common Council Enlarges Scope
Of Experts in Probing For
mans Administration.

/ At the special meeting of the finance
committee of the Common Council,
held last night, Alderman Congleton
introduced a resolution, which was
adopted, empowering the experts now
J engaged in examining the books and
records of the auditors department
to investigate the accounts of any
other city department that they may
! think necessary in order to arrive
properly at satisfactory presentment
of the city's finances.
! While it was not intimated that
any other departments are to be
probed, the action of the committee IS
taken to mean that the way is being
prepared for an overhauling of other
departments.
The experts, through their examiner,
j. e. Sterret, reported having engaged
a temporary clerk.
The appointment of the temporary
clerk without the consent of the COM
nittee caused a tilt between the mem
bers Alderman Shape thought the COM
mittee should have been consulted,
but Alderman Congleton said that the
experts, Price, Waterhouse & Co., had
been empowered by the committee to
hire whatever additional help was
found necessary.s
Aldermen In Spirited Discussion.
Chairman Wohlfarth took exception
to this Interpretation of the commit
tees former action, and he and Mr.
Congleton had q short but spirited
discussion of just what the experts
could do in such matters. 1t was
finally decided to lay the entire mat
ter over until the regular meeting.
Chief Engineer Sherrerd and Com
missioner Mungle, of the Board of
| Works, were present to ask for $4,000
to aid in carrying out the work of the
sewer department. 1t was explained
that the committee had allowed only
$4,000 of the $4,000 requested, and
from now until the end of the year it
will require about $4,000 to run the
department. All that the department
has available is $4,000.
Mr.. Sherrerd said that Acting Au-
ditor Brady had expressed the belief
that $4,000 could be transferred from
ties of the case, which would leave
only $1,000 to come out of the contin-
| gent fund.
The committee, while tacitly agree
ing to grant the request. asked that
the matter be allowed to go over until
the regular meeting next week, and in
the meantime Mr.. Brady can get posi-
tive assurance that the necessary
transfer of accounts can be accom-
plished.

RANGERS LED INTO TRAP AND KILLED
Mexican Decoy Duck Paid Penalty
With His Treacherous Life.
Two Rangers Injured.

San Benito, TEXAS a result OF a
ruse worked by a Mexican with ap-
parent good intentions, but evidently
with the idea of killing the bunch OF
rangers stationed at San Benito, two
state rangers and one Mexican were
killed and two other rangers were
badly wounded Sunday near the Rio
Grande.
Pablo Trevino, a cousin of Jacinto
Trevino, who killed Jim Darwin about
two months ago, informed several peo-
pie here that Jacinte, the murderer,
intended to cross the river Sunday
night with several more cousins, with
the intention of killing one Of the au-
thOrities who had made threats
to catch him after the late murder,
and that he, Pablo, would bring his
cousins past a certain spot in the
brush and would lag behind him and
assist the Americans to capture the
bunch.
4 party of ten men went to the
spot designated by him and scattered
into four parties. Lieutenant Captain
Carney, Special Deputy Henry Law
renee and a company emplOye, being
on hand, stationed themselves at a
cross road when they heard men ap-
preaching, the rangers sitting in the
middle of the road and the other man
to the edge of the cactus, some few
feet away.
The rangers called on the men, who
seemed to be four or five in number,
to halt, but they returned about the
same kind of answer and immediate
ly opened fire, killing one ranger in
stantly and MORALLY wounding anoth'
er. The other party, after emptying
his gun, ran after assistance, and, al
ter returning, the party were bending
over their wounded comrades, not
knowing in the first fire that Pablo
who was with the bunch of MeXicans
had been wounded. He had purpose
w led the party into trap by telling
them of his intentions, which were
false. and had been wounded in the
leg and had crawleG to the side of the
road behind stump, where he fired
his Winchester into the group oVel
the PROSTATE forms and badly wound
ed two more rangers, who finally kill

EIlHT NEGROES KILLED BY WHITES
Infantry and Rangers Ordered :
to Scene.

Palestine, Tex.-At least eight
negroes were killed in a race war in
the extreme eastern part Of Ander-
son county Friday night and Satur-
day, according to the most COnserVa-
tive reports which have reached here
from the scene of the disturbance.
1t was rumored that white men were
either killed or injured, but each time
the rumOr had been authOritatively
denied, and it is said that order has
been restored and no further trouble
is feared. On receipt of the intelll-
gence of the trouble, Palestine Off
GERS hurried to the scene. The sa-
looms were closed by the order Of the
district judge and ammunition stores
were forbidden to sell either weapons
or cartridges.
In addition to this the authorities
communicated with Adjutant General
Newton at Austin, in the absence OF
Governor Campbell, who is in Gal
weston, and secured the prompt dts'
patch of three or four rangers to this
place and an infantry company OF
thirty men from Marshall.
The trouble seems to have started
Friday in the community three or
four miles south of the small town OF
SlOcum, which is near the Houston
County line, and there are several
causes which are said to have led up
to it. 1t is declared that the first
bad feeling between the whites and
blacks was due to the fact that AL
ford Anderson, a white man, who had
indorsed a note for a negro, had tc
pay the obligation. This was some
days since. A few days after that
the report goes, white man, nance
James Spurger, was notified to &c
road work under negro oyerseer
One negro is alleged to have con
fessed that a plan should have beel
made to kill Spurger and his family
Luther Hardeman and others wh(
got back Saturday reported that there
were eight dead negroes and that th'
rumor that Mr.. Spurger had been kill
ed was not verified. The scene OF tn
trouble is in the eastern part of tn
county, along the Ioni creek, and ad
iacent to the towns Of Priscilla, Den
