LAND OFFICE FORCE

Austin, Texas, Nov. According
to Land Commissioner Robson, he
and his force are rushed to death
Just at this time handling tie vast
amount OF mail which contains re-
mittances from persons paying int,
est due on state land Mr.. Robson
says the office is now receiving
nearly 1000 letters per day, and the
probabilities are that this number
will increase during the week as the
time for payment of this interest ex-
pired today. He asks the indulgence
of the public in this matter
THE help in the department is not
adequate for the handling of this
volume of business as expeditiously
as it should be handled" says the
commissioner
The inadequacy in help Is due to
the governors veto of a small emer-
gency appropriation for such contin-
geneies,' said the commissioners,
''and the labor and care necessary to
take care of interest and principal
payments on school land in drafts
and money orders ranging from 81

$4,000 to 100000 a day, is task
that requires not only large
amount OF labor, but time, skill and

CHICAGO POLICE ARE
INVESTIGATING A CASE
Woman Under Constant Surveillance
in Connection with the Deaths
of Nine People.

Chicago, Nov with Mrs.
yeillance the police are vigorously
continuing the investigation into the
deaths of nine people, all more or
less closely related to the woman.
No evidence of crime has been
discovered, but the police believe an
veal that the latest one to die will
show that something in the nature
of poison was administered to him.
This death was that of a policeman,
who, the woman says, was addicted
to drinking heavily, but who, the po-
lice say, was an abstainer.
Conflicting stories have been told
by the woman and those who knew
her in other places. All the nine
deaths have been sudden and nearly
all came from gastritis.
The list of dead, which includes
two step-children, three children ana
a roomer at boarding houses which
she kept is as follows:
Fred Bringkamp. first husband of
Mrs. Vermilya, died on farm near
Darlington, ILL.,, after brief illness
Charles Vermilya, second husband,

ELECT COWAN MANAGER
OF TEAM TO SUCCEED SULLIVAN

Although President Bradley. of the
Richmond baseball club. stated sun
day ntSht that Manager Sullivan had
withdrawn his resignation and would
continue 10 lead the team, Sullivan
left for New York yesterday noon.
Pop EGan left the team and the
city at the same time, SO the Colts
tourneyed to Petersburg under the
managerial care OF George Cowan.
Mr.. Dobson did not get tho appoint
ment as most everyone expected
Dobson rather expected to be made
manager himself. II. can he stated
on good authority that II Dobson
had been able to report here at the
opening Of tho season sullivan would
never have been hired by Presid mt
Bradley. Tho young athletic direc-
tor could not see why he should leave
a good job nj Clemson College to
take a chance with the Richmond
team so he decided to hold onto his
steady position and play ball as q
stop-gag between college seasons.
No doubt this is eminently right
and proper. but i, is now said that
Mr.. Dobson rather thought he would
like to be manager of the team after
he arrived here and used his best
endeavors to assist Manager Sullivan.
Now Sullivan felt that he did not
need an assistant He even resented
the well meant efforts OF President
Bradley to get men for him. Sullivan
wanted 20 be manager In fact as
well as in name, not a mere hired
man.

and with the privilege of picking
the best of the Yankee recruits, Sui
