than temporary relief until l began

Writing Up Bender Family

San Antonio, Texas, July 23-tSpe- cial)-John B. Sayres, who was resi- dent of southern Kansas for more than 70 years, is in this city and says that he is writing story of the famo Us Render family who some years ago soperated a kind of country hotel where many people were murdered and their bodies buried under the house and otn- CT buildings Sayres Is emphatic In saving that the members of the ben |. der family were not killed by officers as has been understood, but that they escaped and that the girl who always played an important part in the va rious murders is now residing in south . ern California. He refuses to state where she resides and gives as his req son for this that if he should do so she would at once be apprehended and thus spoil the sale of the forthcoming story about one of the most infamous families that ever played part in the frontier life of Kansas. Sayres ap- pears to have all the details of the Renders and their operations, and says also that he knows where they came from before locating in the "Sunflow- CT state and that he has kept close tab on them sirce their many crimes came to light

Build Texas Auto Roads

San Antonio, Texas, July 23-(Spe- eiaD-In line with the good roads movement which is almost epidemic Ill Texas, the business men of this city have organized for the purpose of builG ing the link in the great Texas auto way from this city to the gulf coast. a distance of 150 miles. At meet ing, a committee of fifteen was named to push the work and cooperate wish like committees in the other counties. Some of the counties have already fin ished their part of the work and only a part of the road remains to be built It Is proposed to make this highway SO perfect in its surface that auto mobiles may maintain a speed of 30 miles an hour in perfect safety. Near Corpus Christi 1t will connect with the great gulf coast auto road now build ing which, when completed, will ex- tend north from Brownsville into the Red River country and will be the long, est auto road in the United State, The interest now taken in this effort Indicates that every link in the road will be completed within two years, To do this work, many of the counties have organized highway districts anl voted bonds, some of them in the sum of $200,000.

Conservation-Fish This Time

Dillon Wallace in August Ooutins.
 With the colonization and civilization Of any region a period of readjustment in the animal and vegetable life of that re- zion begins. As the wilderness gives way to farms and towns. wild vegetation Is supplanted by cultivated orchards and crops, and wild animals give place to do- mestic stock. With hundred white men employing innumerable contrivances TOT catching fish where once an Indian used only his primitive net, with streams damned and factories pouring a flood of impurities into the water. and with other streams diverted to irrigate arid lands. fish disappear and many streams become wholly unadapted to the various aboriginal species once inhabitinS them
 All this must take place if there IS to be progress i nthe world. A city cannot stand in the midst of primeval forest for the people who inhabit the city must he fed by the fruits of the surrounding land and the forest must be cut down in order that the land be tiled. Streams must be converted into power. to turn machinery for the manufacture of the necessities of the civilized inhabitants. Thus wild animals must find new re- treats or cease to exist. and fsh. by the process of readjustment, disappear from water no longer adapted to them.

NEW YORK MURDERER
 STILL AT LARGE

New York. July 23.-Three hundrs', and fifty detectives and plain clothe men assigned to the case have failed so far to apprehend the three armed men who last night slew Adolph Stern, the jewellers clerk, and made thelr escape in an automobile with s50OJ worth of diam onds.
 The belief prevails that the crime was committed by swindlers, who have operated among jewellers throughout the country. and who recently have written letters to trade paper boast ing of their exploits and signing them selves as "the bareheaded penny weighter and his pal' and other similar names.
 A score or more automobiles answer ing the description of the one used by the thieves have been held by the po- lice in various sections of the city, but chauffeurs in each case gave good az counts of their recent whereabouts apd all were relea sed.

Texas Growing Rich

San Antonio. Texas, July 2S-(Spe ciaD-According to the statement of Acting Comptroller Charles B. Whit ', the increase in wealth in Texas durin z the last 12 months is a little more than $7O,000,00O. While transportation lines have played a part in this in- crease, more than 60 per cent of this sum is due directly to agricultural de- velopment. It is predicted by the comp troller, based on his information of what is going on in various sections of the state. that the increase for the present year will pass the hundred million mark. That Texas Is doing great things in the matter of develop ment is manifest in all parts of the state, particularly in that portion where the great ranches of the old days have been broken up into agri- cultural areas and are now under the dominion of the blow.

Not With Those Words

From the Argonaut
 An eastern bishop decided to take up golf, and as he wished to begin his practice where he was unknown, he sought a public links instead of one or the many clubs which would have been 1oyously opened to him. He provided him. self with an outfit and book Of rules hired a caddie at the links, and pro ceeded to set up his ball for the first stroke. After the usual feinting and linn bering process he gave a mighty iunge at the ball and went wildly over the top of it. leaving it reposlng on the tee in imperturbable celuloid majesty. Tut! tut! tut" exclaimed the bishop, inbmild, clerical dsmay. Tut tut, tut! Then he tried again, with yet more earnest and vigorous swings, and that time he plowed hole in the ground ten inches away from the ball. Tut, tut! tut!' nc reiterated. Tut tut! tut!' "Say, nis- ter" warned the caddie nonchalentlys without shifting his gum, you'll neven ioin to play golf wid dem words"

UN|ON|STS FIGHT AMONG THEMSELVES Open Warfare Through Press Over Veto Bill
 Policies

London, July 24.-Not for long time nas the absence of effective and authoritative leadership of the unionist party been so fankly displayed. Open warfare IS car ried today into the columns of the press. Not only are the unionist organs arrayed in two opposing ranks for and against the so-called surrender to the inevitable, but the great leaders are taking part in the fray.
 Beresford have long letters In the papers this morning, the former presenting many cogent reasons why the party should sup port Lord Lansdowne and pointing ou, how the Earl of Halsbury's plan of nc surrender would be dangerous for the
 party and country He says that to force a wholesale creation of peers would be
 to expedite and render home rule in-
 evitable; it would facilitate re-establish-
 ment and replace the veto bill by ma
 chinery infinitely more dangerous and despotic, without conferring a single
 benefit, present or prospective on the na-
 tion, without even injuring the govern Ilelft, put Bldtuiliouoiy HUI Oooii6 ehSii power for mischief.
 'It is bad enough,' says Lord Curzon that the government already have a large majority in the house Of commons Where Is either the expediency or the common sense or the public advantage oi presenting them with second majority in the house of lords.
 Lord Charles Beresford also supports
 Lord I.ansdowne and advises the unionisl party ito go into winter quarters Clearly the next few days will see a
 great fight in the ranks of the party Both sides have a strong following and lit is impossible to forecast the issue o1 the struggle. Lord Halsbury has the support of the Earl of Selborne, the Mar quis of Salisbury and it is said, nearly 100 peers, while Austen Chamberlain, the
 Rt. Hon. George Wyndham and Sir Ed ward Carson are the leaders of an equally
 strong mo surrender" party in the house of commons.
 At present it appears impossible that
 Lord Lansdowne and MT. Balfour will bt
 able to control their insurgent following
 and it is hardly likely that the crisis vii end without the creation of some peers After MT. Asquiths statement in tho
 house of commons today he will probabl, call @ halt for few days, awaiting tho development of the unionist feud.
