THAT BROWN MURDER MYS.
Terry WILL BE SOLVED.

Dallas News today says: There
is no immediate prospect of Meade
Barr held in connection with his
confession relative to the murder of
Miss Florence Brown, being return
ed to the Indiana reformatory, from
which he was brought to Dallas.
This information was given out yes
terday by County Attorney Currie
McCutcheon, who said that Barr
would probably be here for the next
two months.
John w. Ryan, chief of police, yes
terday emphatically denied that Barr
had been given any whisky or NOR
phine, either while IN Dallas or in
WaXahachie. Chief Ryan said:
We are working as hard as ever
now on the Brown murder case and
will so continue toward a solution
on matters Independent of the Barr
business. 1t may take some time
to work it out, but | believe we will
solve it eventually"
County Attorney McCutcheon also
said that work on the case would
be continued, regardless OF recent
developments, and that he believed
the mystery OF Miss Browns murder
would finally be solved"

UNUSUAL ACTIVITY
NATIONAL GUARD
TEXAS STATE TROOPS KNOWN
TO BE MAKING EXTENSIVE
PREPARATIONS.

Austin, Texas, Nov. 9.-That un-
usual activity is evident in Texas
National guard circles can not nov
be denied. That it has a bearing
on a prospective Mexican situation
is to be presumed.
1t was learned today on the best
of authority that the officers Of Tex
as National Guard companies have
received papers providing for the re-
cruiting OF these companies to full
war strength. The first lieutenants
OF the various companies are in
charge of recruiting matters, and the
company commanders have been in
structed to turn over the official
documents to the first lieutenants.
In addition to that, it was learned
from Adjt. Gen. Henry Hutchings
that, at the request of the war de
partment, plans We're made for tenn
porary barracks at Camp Mabry,
near Austin. II was apparently the
idea not to house the troops in tents
during the winter. If there shrould he
mobilization for any purpose, but
to erect temporary barracks of light
material. The plans for these bar
racks il was learned, have been ap-
proved mad forwarded to Washing
ton.
1t is understood that the plans for
the barracks were made under the
supervision of Capt. II. S. Wagner,
United States army, special infantry
instructor to the Texas national
guard After an absence Capt, Wag-
ner returned TO Austin today and
was in conference with Capt. Hut
chings for some time. A report was
been made TO the military authori-
ties at Fort Sam Houston, San An
tonic. as to the dependable strength.
condition and equipment of the Tex
as national guard. 1t is surmised that
Capt. Wagner and Gen. Hutchings
discussed the Situation as it affects
the Texas National Guard. They
are evidently preparing for some con-
tingency. and the Texas national
guard is being got in readiness.

BY AMENDMENT
ANTLSALOON LEAGUE IN CON
vENTioN HAS PLANS FOR Ma
TIONAl PROHIBITION.

Columbus, O., Nov. l0.-What is
| declared TO be the most comprehen
sive temperance convention ever held
! in the history of the world began
here today with the opening of the
biennial session of the Anti-Saloon
League of America. Back of the Co
lossal convention is a plan to submit
to the people of the United States an.
other amendment to the federal con
stitution prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of liquor in any form in
America.
The league says that national pro
hibiton can be secured through the
adoption of a constitutional amend
ment by congress and ratification Of
the same by the necessary three
fourths -thirty-six states. A state
once having ratified the amendment
cannot rescind its action, but a state
failing in its effort to ratify, may do
so at any future time.
Daniel A. Polling, of Columbus, can
didate of the prohibition party for
governor in 1912, has taken up the
anti-saloon program, and will be one
of the speakers.
Others, speakers and entertainers,
who have accepted places on the pro-
gram, are

TULSA TO HAVE FAIR.

Tulsa, Okla, Nov. 9.-The splendid
position quarters provided for the In
ternational Soil Products Exposition
are to be preserved as fair grounds,
the plan being to hold Southwestern
soil products show here every year,
The buildings, six in number, sit on
county ground and the county authori-
ties favor making the institution a
permanent investment. The kafir corn
palace, which was built by the state,
Is one of the handsomest fair build
ings in the southwest. AS planned, the
voters of Tulsa County may be asked
to favor bond issue of $25, 900 for the
purpose of purchasing grounds and
buildings and making needed improve
ments upon some of the buildings in
order to preserve them. Another plan
proposed is to organize a fair asso-
citation which would lease the plant
for a term of years and have charge
of any future fairs and eXpositions In
any event, some way of preserving
the plant will be evolved. according
to the men backing the scheme.

FREEDMEN FIGHT TAXES.
Judge Ledbetter Has Suit New Pend
ing in Their Behalf.

When W. A. Ledbetter was here
Friday he met with committee
representing the freedmen of the
Chicka,aw and Choctaw nations in
regard to their suit against the state
of Oklahoma The Freedmen have
employed Mr. Ledbetter in their tax
snit. They maintain that the same
tax exemptions which followed the
lands of the Indians will follow the
lands of the Freedmen. Many Of the
lands of the freedmen have been
sold for the taxes and purchasers
are holding tax titles to the lands
Mr.. Ledbetter has the suit pending
now in the district court of Carter

before the suit is finally settled that

FRISCO RAILROAD
LOSES TAX CASE
IMPROVED PROPERTY ON RIGHT
OF WAY HELD TAXABLE BY
COUNTY.

Tulsa, Okla, Nov. 9.-Improved
property on the Frisco's 300f foot
right of way through the business
district of the city of Tulsa, OIL
which there are buildings, warehous-
es and store-rooms used by private
corporations and companies and not
for railway purposes, should be tax
ed by the county instead of the state,
according to an opinion delivered by
Judge Conn Linn of the county court
of Tulsa county Saturday, in case
instituted by Frank Ingraham, former
tax ferret, last January.
Judge Linn's ruling empowers
County Treasurer John T. Cramer
TO collect from the Frisco taxes on
the property in question for the
years 1908, 1909, 1910. 1911 and 1912.
BY a rough calculation this would
amount to from 100000 to $4,000. If
the order of Judge Linn holds the
money will go to the county and city
sinking funds.
BY former procedure the improv-
ed property involved practically es-
capCl taxation, being listed only by
the state board of equalization The
rolling stock, steel rails and other
railroad fixtures were valued and
put down but the buildings on the
property, owned by Independent COM
panies, corporations and individuals
We're not touched.
According to a ruling in similar
case recently by Judge George w.
Clark of the district court of Okla
homa county, litigation of this ma
ture cannot be appealed The coun-
ty court, Judge Clark held, is the
appellate court.
Attorney Foster of Oklahoma City,
representing the railway company,
announced the case will be appealed
regardless. He did not say whether
it Will be taken first TO the district
court or Immediately to the state
supreme court, but it is believed the
latter is the more probable outcome.

MARSHALL COUNTY
ELECTION CONTEST
RUSSELL HAD BEEN TRAP
PED ONCE TOO OFTEN. LOCAL
SCRAPS TOO INTERESTING.

81 am entirely too busy with court
in my own district was the reply
Judge S. H. Russell made to Chief
Justice Hays when the latter wanted
to assign Judge Russell to hear the
court house bond proceedings in Mar
shall county. 1T is this way said
Judge Russell, Il received very gen.
tie letter one time from Judge Nc
MILAN asking me to please to take
his place at Sulphur in court house
fight. Thinking | would confer a great
favor upon fellow Judge and desir-
ing to drink some of the water at Sui
phur accepted. Well, there was trou-
BILE ahead Of me, dynamite was used,
was cited to appear before the su-
preme court for contempt, two writs
of prohibition were served upon me,
and | was made a defendant instead
of judge to try case. Please ex-
cuse me from any OF the court house
trials"
Judge Russell asked what kind of
proceedings it was at Madill and when
he learned that the election at which
the court house bonds were voted, was
being contested, he said that did not
look so bad as the Sulphur deal, but,
anyway, he was glad to get out Of
the hearing.
Judge McKeown of Ada will proba-
bly, hear the contest suit.
