A meeting of the club was held at noon

Iutions of regret upon the death OF Maj.

1T becomes the duty Of the Gridiron
Club, in terms as simple and direct as
was the life of the man We mourn, to
place on record our appreciation OF the
services of our late associate, Maj. John
NJ Carson, and our grief over his death
For more than thirty years he held front
rank in the galaxy of old-time newspaper
correspondents. His intimate acQuaint-
ance with public men and public affairs,
the calm poise of his judgment. the
scrupulous care he took to be accurate
in his facts and impartial in his conclu-
sions gave to his letters national repute,
and as appropriately said in the news
paper he served so we'll, the personality
Of u. NJ. c. was as engaging as his
work was faithful and valuable.
.One of the originators of the Gridiron
Club. twice it's honored president, with
an interval of nearly twenty years be-
tween, always prominent in it's activities,
he felt an interest in the welfare of the
club and an affection for it's members
which time only strengthened. Though
the name of John NJ. Carson will no
longer meet an audible response on our
roll call, the silent answer in our hearts
must always be Died on the field of
honor,

Found Caller With His Wife.

When Bean returned home Sunday night
after 10 o'clock and found Logan talking
with his wife he became jealous and or
dered the visitor from the premises, but
before Logan could get away Bean dealt
him blow on his face with bottle.
Later Bean took his wife to task for
the visit paid her during the husbands
absence. Bean retired, he told the police,
and as he and his wife continued the
quarrel, the latter pulled the cover from
the bed. Then. he told the police, he
got his razor and slashed her throat.
She staggered to the head of the stairs
and made an outcry, which was heard
by Frank Bassford and his wife in their
rooms on the lower floor. DR.. J. B. Cutler
responded to a call sent to Freedmen's
Hospital for assistance. He pronounced
life extinct, and the body was taken to
the morgue.
Bean came to this city three years ago
and was widower with one child, he
said, when he married the woman he has
just slain. She was also from North
cumberland county. Va, he said, and he
knew her before he came here.

COMMITTEE
WILL MEET TOMORROW

A shift in the plans OF the Freight
Bureau OF the Amarillo Chamber Of
Commerce has been necessitated by
recent adyicos from Washington that
the West Texas rate hearing before
members Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission had been deferred until
next April This hearing had been
scheduled for an early date. and the
local Freight Bureau committee has
been busy shaping data for presenta-
tion 20 the Interstate Commerce COM
missioncrs
Variant views are expressed rela-
tive TO the effect OF this postpone
ment OF n hearing on Amarillo's
chances for relief from long existing
freight injustice a number con
sidered the postponement as calculat-
ed to unnecessarily delay action.
Others we're inclined 10 belief that
the granting Of more time would
prove valuable.
Refraining from discussion, how
ever. the FreiAht Bureau will imme-
diately get down TO business. a
meeting OF that committee viii be
held Monday afternoon az o'clock for
the purpose OF going over the situa-
tlon End FOR laying further plans.
The Interstate Commerce avenue be
ing temporarily barred. II is not i'm
possible that the freight bureau will
turn 20 some other source for the
early relief OF Amarillo.
