JOKER DISCOVERED
IN PENSION BILL
Dog Tax Collections Not to Go
To Police and Fire
mems Fund.

Senator Gallinger has received a let
ter from the District Commi ssioners in
which they point out the joker in the
police and firemen's pension fund bill
as it has been passed by the Senate.
1t was because of this joker that
Senator Gallinger had the bill .ecalled
from the House.
The Commissioners transmit n state
ment Of the District Auditor which
shows that in striking out the provision
of the bill allowing the use Cf license
receipts other than liquor licenses in
making deficiencies in the fund there
has been cut out all provision for use
of dog tax collections.
The effect of this. It Is pointed out
would be to cause a net loss to- the
pension funds of $l5,145.I7 per year.
1t is expected that Senator Gallingcr
will ask that the bill be modified 50 IS
to meet this situation.

ABANDON POSTS

mately $40, 900, 900.

Twenty-Five army posts, representing
an outlay by the Government of ap-
proximately s2o,OOO, 900. are slated for
early abandonment by the War Depart
ment The department estimates that
for the sale Of the post buildings and
grounds II may realize anywhere from
Nl, 7S5, 346 to s24,SS2, 1876. the former figure
representing the minimum estimates re-
ceived and the latter the highest valua
ton figures submitted.
In a communication sent to the House,
Secretary Stimson details the plans of
the department for the abandonment
and sale Of twenty-five widely scattered
army posts. The posts are slated 20 go
in the interest Of economy, and the con-
centration of the army at central points.
Some of the abandoned posts, the de-
partment believes. will be sold for sums
far in excess of their original cost. the
profit being due to increased land
values.
For Concentration.
For some months the War Depart
ment has been working out its eoncen-
tration plan. In February the House
passed a resolution asking the depart
ment to transmit Information concern
ing Its plans. and the communics ton
filed with the House Is in response to
that inquiry. The department realizes
some members of Congress will oppose
the abandonment of posts In tlair To-
calities. and the fight will be a hard
one.
The depa rtment believes that. owing
to increased land values II will be ole
to make good trade in the sale of the
posts named, and the Government will
not actually lose money in the entire
transaction.
Fort D. A. Russell cost s5,071. .070. Its
value Is now estimated at s.. 365. 900. On

]. ". BARRON
FOR REELECTION

Mr.. j. w. Barron authorizes The
Eagle to announce him as a candidate
for reelection to the office of district
clerk of Brazos county, subject to the
action of the July democratic primary.
1t is not necessary for The Eagle to
tell the people who Mr.. Barron is. He
has lived in the county nearly all his
life, has served in public capacity
for several years which has brought
him in close contact with the people
and given him a wide acquaintance
ship.
Mr. Barron is one of the county's
best citizens, honorable, upright, con-
scientious-and withal a Christian gen.
tleman. He has made the county a
faithful officer; always at his post and
the affairs of his office attended to in
thorough and business-like manner.
The county has never had a more
obliging official, and every man who
has had business in Mr.. Barron's de-
partment has been shown every cour-
tesy and granted every possible favor.
If reelected he promises the same
faithful service in the future.
The Eagle submits his claims to the
democratic voters of the county.

A Town That Does Not Exist.

Although the town of Ampere, n. j.,
gives steady employment to over one
thousand people, transacts millions of
dollars worth of business annually,
and enjoys the distinction of sepa-
rate railroad station, where memo
rial tablet was formally unveiled by
Ambassador Jusserand of France four
years ago, and has a United States
government postoffice exclusively for
its use, it has no existence in fact.
It lies upon the border line between
Newark and East Orange, n. j., but
as there is no space between these
two cities, it is partly included with
both and under two municipal govern
ments. The concrete evidences of its
existence quoted above are due to the
presence there of the Croker Wheeler
company, whose plant, occupying
twenty-five acres, 'iustifies it's indi-
vidual name. That the town is jealous
OF its exclusive name, given in honor
of the great French discoverer of the
measure of electric current, is shown
by the fact that there is no other
Ampere in the world. A town on the
Northern Pacific railroad was given
the name some years ago. but the
Crocker-Wheeler company filed a
prompt objection, and the town Sc
lected another title. There are fifty
or more Waterloos in the world, and
Londons and Parises by the dozens,
but only one Ampere-and that does
not exist. Our national capital pre-
sents a similar anomaly in that it does
not exist as a separate municipality,
but is under the control of the federal
government through three commits
sioners appointed by the president and
confirmed by the senate.

THE QUESTION
OF WATERWAYS
Herbert Knox Smith, Commissioner Of
Corporations, Advocates Water
and Rail Cooperation.
by Associated Press.l

Nashville, Tenn, April 1O.-Com-
missioner of Corporations Herbert
Knox Smith addressed the Southern
Commercial Congress today on the
waterways question, and suggested
means of bringing them to a higher
degree of efficiency. Expressing the
belief that the waterways of the coun-
try are not being used adequately
Commissioner Smith explained that
this was due to the lack of unity in
the whole transportation system and
the lack of effective water terminals
properly controlled.
Referring to the competition be-
tween the rail and water lines of the
country, he said that ''our transporta-
ton system, which should be a unit,
perfectly connected both physically
and in operation, is split up into two
unequal parts, with destructive
struggle going on between those two, .
and adding: IF some practical method
of broad cooperation could be brought
about between the rail and water sys-
TENS, it would add more to the eff
cheney of our waterways than can
ever be accomplished by mere i'm
provement of channels"
Speaking of the ownership and con-
troll of water terminals Mr.. Smith as
serted that 1--WE really have but two
ports, New Orleans and San Francisco,
that in any way representa- organi-
cation, in public control and in traffic
efficiency-what a harbor should be"
OF the others, he said, a majority of
the active frontage is privately con-
trolled. The blame for this condition,
he said, lies with the local govern
ments, state and municipal. There is
just one principle he declared,
through which this situation can be
remedied Responsibility
for terminals must be placed on the
local localities. Construction of water
way channels by the government
should be absolutely conditioned upon
the assured existence thereon of ade-
quate terminals provided by the local
ity and by it kept permanently open
for the general benefit of the users
Of that channel"

HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston, Texas, April 10.-Strawber-
ries are coming to the Houston prod
uce market at a rapid rate. A steady
demand served to keep the prices up,
but it is expected this week will find
prices much easier and receipts on the
increase. Last prices were $4.00@5.00
to the trade The end of last week
brought the beginning of large enough
receipts to permit distribution in
North Texas. Before then it was i'm
possible to supply the local demand at
$1,000 per crate. The lateness of the
season has not detracted from the size
nor flavor of the berries.
The scarcest thing on Produce Row
these days is turkeys. Receipts are so
light it can hardly be said there are
any at all AS sequence Thanks
giving and Christmas prices are pre-
vailing. Dealers quoted 1Sc to the
trade, which is the highest price since
the holiday season a year ago. Tur-
keys sent in at this time will find a
ready sale. Receipts of chickens, on
the other hand, are moderately heavy.
Country butter is in fair demand, Egg
receipts are threatening to become
light again.
The cotton markets are being
strengthened by the disastrous floods
along the Mississippi, and fears of
other floods in smaller rivers in the
South, which will greatly retard or
destroy part of the new cotton crop.
Whether or not the Southern planter
has decreased his cotton acreage is
unknown at this time 1t is believed
if there is any serious decrease in the
new cotton crop this year correspond
ingly higher prices will prevail How
ever, a commercial paper says the
coming acreage is likely to be de-
creased 20 per cent, making it 28,343,-
900 acres. The government made it
last year 35,000,0OO, and the CONNER
cial and Financial Chronicle 1851 900.
