nifty his wish in the matter of con-
tinuing to hold office. He was elected
to that position Tuesday for the fifth
time in succession. defeating his op-

WOMAN KILLS MAN.
With Pistol In Hand Takes Car
For Jail.

With the pistol with which shooting
was done still grasped in her hand, a
negress. Matilda Myers, alighted from
a Dallas street car and surrendered to
Patrolman Killingsworth, saying she
had shot and killed . man Investigss
ton developed this to he fact and
James Cooper, the negro whom the
woman had shot, died in half an hour
after reaching the emergency hos
pital.
The shooting occurred at the home
of the woman. Cooper was shot twice
in the head. Either wound would have
caused death. Both bullets entered
the top Of the head, ranged downward
and penetrated the brain.
Cooper had only been released from
Jail about an hour before the killing
The woman claims that he went to her
house and tried to force an edtrance,
and that when she shot he was coming
in at the door with q brick in his
hand, and that previous to trying to
enter the house he had thrown a brick
at her.

HOME RULE BILL
Introduced In the House by Rep.
resentative Kennedy.

In the Texas house Representative
Kennedy introduced bill providing
tor the carrying out of his amendment
to the constitution for home rule 10
cities of over 5000 population. 1t
provides that two thirds of the com
missioners or 10 per cent of the citi.
liens may call a charter commission
to make over a city charter The char
ter commission is to last as long as
the people desire it and half of the
members are to be elected each year
1t is to prepare a city charter and
submit it the people for adoption or
re ection. The people are to vote on
each section separately.
Another section provides that upon
petition Of 10 per cent of the voters
the commission shall submit to the
people any amendment to the charter
they desire
One section says they shall have the
right TO vote or whether the city shall
acquire any public utility in the city.
When the charter is prepared copy
of it must be mailed to each voter in
the city so he can study it.
A Joint resolution was presented in
the house for ratification by the legis-
lature of the amendment presented by
congress for the election of senators
by the people.
House committee on common car
riers reported favorably the bill pro-
viding for the consolidation of Katy
and Texas Central and Santa Fe and
Cotton Belt railways with several tri-
butary lines.
Senate finally passed the Weiaert
suspcndsp sentence bill, allowing to
FIRST offenders mercy.
In lieu o. the resolution to investi-
gate the penitentiary system Latti
more's resolution providing that the
penitentiary commissioners and the
auditor furnish the senate with state
ment of the system was adopted. Sen
ator baltimore said he had no desire
to press the probe resolution, but he
thought the senate should know the
cause for the 81, 500, 600 Indebtedness.

The Income Tax.

Unexpectedly the State Of Wye
ming is recorded in favor of the in
come tax. Under suspension OF the
rules the Legislature of that State,
the House and the Senate sitting III
joint session, ratified the income tax
amendment TO the Constitution OF
the United States.
This event is a gratifying surprise
to the masses who have been clam
Cring for such amendment.
While with the vote of Wyoming
the required number Of Ctates are
recorded in favor of this tax, other
States, New Jersey and Florida and
others, will be aligned for this
amendment to the Federal Consti-
tuition.
It will now devolve on Congress to
provide the law by which the in
come tax amendment will be ope-
rated actively.
From this enactment it has been
estimated that revenues for the
needs of the government will be OBJ
tanned readily from sources which
heretofore have escaped their share
of the burdens of government.
The proposed limit for taxation
on incomes is $1,000, but probably
this may be reduced to $4,000. II
would seem that any person whose
income is $4,000 or over annually
should not object to contributing
his just proportion to the mainten-
ance of government. With the rev.
enues obtained from the tax on in
comes there will follow the repeal
of the tax on many articles from
which revenues are now derived.
IL may be observed with some
feeling of qualification that the ope-
ration of this tax on incomes will be
put into effect under a Democratic
administration.

1T is a new practice for the execu
tive department to Intervene between
the process of its own courts and the
defendants for the protection OF the
latter-to shield them from arrest IN
der an indictment returned by grand
jury against them.
In snch vigorous terms did Judge
Edward R. Meek of the United States

as at Dallas refer to the action Of
United States Attorney Wickersham
in intervening between United States
marshals and John D. Archbold, H.
C. Folger, Jr., and w. g. Teagle,
Standard Oil company officials, when
government officers sought to serve
warrants of arrest on them.
Indictments were returned against
the above named parties and others
during the summer term Of the court.
Warrants were served on a number of
Texas men and on Calvin G. Payne of

sired to secure further evidence The

Upon the call Of the case District
Attorney Atwell announced that all
the defendants who lived in Texas had
been arrested, but that warrants for
certain defendants living in foreign
jmrisd lotions bad not been executed,
and were not executed by order of the
attorney general of the United States.
He asked for a continuance Of the
cause and that alias capias issue for
each Of the defendants named in the
Indictment who had not been placed
under arrest
Judge Meek praised the district at

capias issued and the case continued,
