schrank Called "Hired Assassin"

A third termer state senator, Sam
Montgomery. made an appeal here last
night for all good democrats to get be-
hind McGraw and upset the money ma
chine. He dwelt on it at considerable
length and charged the Watson-Chilton
control with having bought everything
in sight 1t was a unique speech. He
was shouting for Roosevelt with such
bitter partisanship that he actually
termed the assailant of Col. Roosevelt
as being "a hired assassin" and later
on, in private conversation, defended
his words. On the other hand he ap-
pealed to republicans to get behind
the state ticket and also to democrats
to support John T. McGraw, an avowed
candidate for the United States senate
Col. Seymour Williams. an oil man from
the southern part of the state. was here
last night also. He wants to go to
He Is bitter against the democratic ma
chine, and told friends of his in this
town that as late as last night he was
offered money. He did not indicate from
whom the offer came. but it is all a part
of the general talk Of buying votes In this
section.
Nat Frame. county chairman for the
third termers, in a most ingenious talk
admitted today that Roosevelt will not
carry this county. but believed that he
will beat Taft. Others do not share Mr..
Frames opinions. as the Taft element
here is strong. and is stronger still since

campus will subscribe to $1,000 OF
the additional stock be will himself
take $1,000 and at once contract for
the equipment.
Mr.. Hewitt was asked to furnish a
financial statement OF the earnings for
the first two years and did SO, which
shows the investment to be very
profitable one. A subscription was
started by Colonel Miner and met
with such enthusiastic support that
before the close of the meeting a mo-
tion prevailed asking Colonel Milnei
to appoint a committee OF three to
canvass the campus and secure the
subscription to all the stock. The col
onel appointed Messrs. J. NJ. Carson.
L. NJ. Hewitt and Prof. Robert F.
Smith as such committee and they are
now at work. They hope to close the
list up this week.
+ This new move does not affect the
extension to Allen Academy and the
Ursuline Convent, except that the ex-
tension will be put in and equipped
for electric service from the begin
ming, rather than for the gasoline mo-
tor service heretofore in use.

sNEED HABEAs CORPUS
HEARING PROCEEDS
Brothers Of Al G. Boyce, the Dead
Man, on the Stand Today.
[By Associated Press. |

Amarillo, Texas, Sept. 25.-Len
Boyee, brother of AL G.. Boyce, was
the first witness in the Sneed habeas
corpus hearing today. He was called
by the defense and asked If certain
letter was in AL G. Boyce's hand
writing. He replied Yes, sir, think
So"
Len Boyce said AL Boyce returned
to Amarillo about two months ago.
He said he believed AL was in Fort
Worth two or three weeks before com
ing to Amarillo, but did not know how
long AL was at Fort Worth. He had
written to AL at Fort Worth under an
assumed name which he could not
now remember. He said Al was down
town in Amarillo on Tuesday before
the killing and was unarmed
Len Boyce testified that at the Fort
Worth trial last winter Sneed told
him that either he would kill AL or
Al would kill him the first time they
met
Mrs Sneed's letters to AL Boyces
father and to Henry Boyce, which
were introduced in the first trial, were
admitted again in evidence
An interesting point was developed
when Odell for the state declared the
defense would not be able to prove
the day of the killing was the first
meeting of Sneed and AL Boyce. Nc
Lean for the defense replied that the
burden of proof rested upon the state
to show that the killing was not the
first time they had met, indicating
clearly that this unusual point was
being relied on as strong one by the
defense
w. H. Steele of Dallas, at whose
home the Sneeds sometimes stopped
testified that Mrs. Sneed was in Fort
Worth at a sanitarium last June.
After she left Steele talked with Miss
Bridges, the sanitarium nurse. He was
not permitted to give this conversa-
ton, but testified when he told it to
Sneed the latter became greatly ex-
cited.

TO ELEcTR|FY
THE IMTERURBAN
Meeting Held at College to Discuss
situation-Proposition Made.
! Some Stock Subscribed.

For some time the service on the
interurban has been very irregular
and unsatisfactory, owing to the diff
Guilty experienced in receiving repairs
from the factory. All repairs have to
be ordered from Three Rivers. Mich,
and sometimes it takes three months
to get some part which is absolutely
necessary to operate car. The serv-
ice has become so uncertain that 1t Is
a hardship to workmen who reside in
Bryan, and residents at the college.
Ways and means for improvement
have been in contemplation and to
this end Colonel Miner called a meet
ing OF the residents of the campus
Monday night and invited Mr.. Gam
mill and Mr.. Hewitt to be present. The
meeting was well attended, and after
Colonel Miner had called 1t to order
and stated the object, he called for
Mr. Gammill, who made statement
and a proposition. The statement was
that he wanted to electrify the sys-
tenn, but did not have sufficient funds
to do so. II would cost $4,000 to
put In the necessary equipment and
buy power. This would include two
up-to-date electric pay-as-you-enter

ELECTION
CASES DECIDED
Long Suspense in Cases of Interest
to Whole County Ended This
Morning.

Judge Scott announced yesterday
afternoon that he would hand down
his opinion in the contested election
cases at 9 O'Clock this morning. Ac-
cordingly the parties at interest, with
their attorneys and large crowd of

phases of the case, declared J. Sidney
Smith, the contestant in the case Of
j. Sidney Smith VS.. ]. II. Mccullough,
the democratic nominee for the office
of tax assessor of Brazos county by
majority of 10. In the case of w. O.
Holmes, contestant, VS.. w. Wipprecht
for the office of tax collector, Mr..
Wipprecht was declared the nominee
by majority of votes.
In the matter of the Mililcan box,
where the presiding Judge Of the cleo
tion failed to write his name on the
back of the ballots, Judge Scott held
this was not sufficient cause to throw
out the box This decision was in
line with an opinion from the attorney
generals office few days ago cover
ing this point
In regard to the Fats Store box,
he said there were e. dences of gross
carelessness, but that intentional
fraud had not been hown. The ques-
ton was therefore narrowed down to
the matter of illc7al votes-yotes of
foreigners who dd not declare their
intention to become citizens as long
as six months prior to the election.
