"When Queen Alexandria first learned of the unofficial report of her brothers murderer she refused to be- lieve it, cherishing the hope that it was incorrect Shortly before 10 o'clock, however, the official message came through. It was at first broken to Princess Victoria upon whom de- volved the painful duty of communi- eating it to her royal mother.
 His Majesty has been living in Salonika since that town was cap ture by his army last November. He received there the news of the sur render of the town of Janina to the Grown Princes army on March 6.
 AS far as can be learned, the cap tured assassin is demented and his confederate is probably man of the same frenZied nature.

He has dis tinguished himself by his fighting and only about ten days ago news came that at the head of a big force he had forced the surrender of the important Turkish forces of .Janima, the key to the privince of Epirus. Born at Athens July 1, 1863, the crown prince was the son of King George l, of Greece The work of the young prince after he attained his majority was largely devoted to re-establishln2 the Greek army upon a firm basis.
 His early life was spent at Athens, where part of his education was un- der the direction of German tutor Dr. Ludeis. Then came the military education of the prince.
 The crown prince is known to hold liberal views as did his father, the King. The prince bears the title or the Duke of Sparta. On Oct. r.. 1889, at Athens, the prince married the Prin cess Sophie of Prussia, a sister of the German emperor.
 Soon after the Outbrust of the war in the Balkan states the crown Drlnce started for the front to lead the Greek army. He spent several months Ill batterin g away at tn ebig fortress or Janima.
 The crown prince has been credited with building up the Greek army from almost nothing into compact fighting machine.

A MOVE TO DEVELOP GROWING OF FIGS
Orchardists of South Texas Gather at
Houston, Texas, and Organize
an Association.

Houston, Textile fig growers OIL
South Texas gathered in Houston re
Gently and formed permanent or
ganization, called the Texas Fig Grow
ers' Association. The purpose of this
organization is to aid the members Of
the association to grow better figs
secure better prices, aid in the culture
of the trees, securing good markets
and high prices for their products, and
educate the members to the best way
to grow, raise and cultivate the figs
The officers elected were: w. A.
Stockwell of Alvin, president; DR.. H.
M. Harrison of La Porte, vice presi.
dent, and DR.. Elva A. Wright of Hous-
ton, secretary and treasurer.
| The board of directors will consist
of the three officers and the following:
j. A. Sparger of La Porte, C. w. Min
son of Algoa, Ralph Young of Fran
citas and W. ]. French of Rock Island.
The discussion during the meeting
brought out the fact that not more
than rs per cent of those raising figs
in this section of the country know
all there is to be known of this mat
ter, and that less than 80 per cent of
them were unable to can, preserve,
sterilize or put up figs for the market
to be shipped for any distance.
One of the greatest troubles after
having raised good crop was to find
a market for it, according to many of
the successful raisers Of figs 1t was
the consensus of opinion that the most
important thing to do was to get CAPT.
tai interested in South Texas, where a
large fig canning plant would be erect
ed.
The present conditions with which
the fig growers have to contend, as
brought out in the discussion by the
members, was that the Northern and
Eastern markets wanted fig of good
quality at low prices and would con-
sumo large quantities of them if they
could be obtained. To sell figs at low
prices it was necessary to ship them
in large quantities, so as to secure low
freight rates on carload lots or more.
The fact that a great many of the
fig growers in South Texas are not
familiar with the best methods of rails
ing, culture and marketing this crop
was brought out at the meeting. 1t
is necessary to educate the growers,
they claim, to cultivate properly, pillow
in the proper manner, choose the
right kind of soil, know how to spray,
with what and when, and many other
things.

OPINIONS GIVEN By. ATTORNEY GENERAL
Club Members Can't Pool to Buy L.
quor-UnIawful to Operate Sunday
Moving Picture Shows, Etc.

Austin. Textile attorney genera
answered a question from Amarillo
Monday to the effect that where clut
members throw in and make a com
mon fund to procure liquors and Their
dispense same to the members, thai
prosecutions should follow, if it was
in fact, an evasion of the law.
1t was held that county judge can
not keep books for county clerk and
accept personal payment Such would
be indirect employment by the county
holds the attorney general.
Authorities at Sealy were advised
that it would be unlawful to operate
moving pictures on Sunday, though
the town was not incorporated; that,
in the absence of city officers, it
would be the duty of the county Of
ficers to enforce the law.
Advice was given that election Of
ficers in stock elections are entitled
to 81 per day pay, while election Of
ficers in tax, bond and maintenance
elections are not entitled to cOmpen-
sation.
The Bellville school superintendent
was told that the same person could
not hold the office of county commits
sioner and county school trustee.
The county Judge at Crosbyton was
advised that the county clerks are
not allowed pay for making certified
copies of bond election orders for
school districts and for county court
house and Jail bond elections; that
these services are to be performed
and compensated for by ex-officios al
lowed by law. They were further adj
vised that under the amendment to
the fee bill, enacted at the recent ses-
sion of the legislature, counties hav
ing population of less than $4,000 in
habitants do not fall within its pro-
visions.
The state treasurer was advised
that the commissioners court has the
authority under the law to reduce the
commissions of county treasurer to
an amount not exceeding 500 per
month; that the law in providing other
compensation of county treasurer pro-
vides that it shall not exceed 2B per
cent, but does not fix the minimum;
that the matter is exactly within the
discretion of the commissioners court
and the county treasurer has the right,
if the compensation is too small, to
resign. This, however, does not ap-
ply to his commission for receiving
and disbursing the available and per-
manent school funds of the county,
which is fixed by law at one-half of l
per cent for receiving and one-half of
! per cent for disbursing This, of
course. could not be controlled by the
commissioners court.

Paid.up Life Policies Taxable.

Austin, Textile attorney general
advised the comptroller Tuesday that
life insurance policies paid up and
drawing annual dividends are subject
to taxation the same as other property
drawing annuities or money. This is
the first time the question has arisen
in Texas and there are no court de-
cisions in point. Contrary decisions
in other States were due to the word
ing OF the statutes of those States,
holds the attorney general. The Tex
as statutes cover their taxation, he
says.
