GRAND JURY REPORT.
Jefferson,
Marion County, Texas,
Nnv c0tb 1Uf1

Nov. goth, 1918.
To the Honorable II. F. O'Neal, Judge
of this the 9Th Judicial District:
We the Grand Jury having
been duly impaneled by your
Honor at the beginning Of this
the November term OF Court
having completed our investiga-
tons to the best OF our knowl-
edge and ability, beg to submit
this our final report.
After having made thorough
investigation of all matters pre-
sented to US of which we had
knowledge we found and pre-
scented to your Honor, 20 true
bills; Is felonies, II misdemean-
ors. We have carefully exam
med the financies and books of
the County to .hsaAbest of our
ability considering the limited
time we had to devote to it we
found the books and accounts to
be correct except as to the Coun-
ty Commissioners We found a
bill for bridge work paid by
Commissioners Court which was
neither sworn to, properly pre-
scented, or receipted as perscrib-
ed by law, which in our opinion
is very loose way to conduct
County business. We also found
County Commissioners had APP
pointed Sixty Four road over
seers out of which only two had
made correct statements as to
moneys collected and expended
and labor done under them. Out
Of the sixty four appointed there
was only twenty seven who made
reports at all. We further found
that road over seers in parts Of
our County had done no work
for two years and that Commits
sioners had not personally super
vised same and did not under
stand such was their duty. We
called them before US and our
county attorney called their at
tention to their duties in the re-
spect and they agreed that each
Commissioner should in future
be appointed to supervise the
road overseers and their work
in his precinct, for which they
were to be paid as provided by law
as lack of pay was excuse offered
for not having performed these
duties before. We have gone
into details, as we consider the
working of county roads very
important matter, and if consis-
tent, we will thank your Honor
ty embody this in your charge
to the next Grand Jury. We
also find that a warrant dated
February, 18th, 1913, was issued
by the County Commissioners to
w. B. Ward for 81, 074.00 in pay
ment for present new court
house site, and as we find from
the minutes of Commissioners
0OuIU ulu Oullcl CNIOClCC ulletu
this property was to be donated
to Marion County to obtain it's
location at present site, to Offset
other free donations of site, and
as there is not good and valid
deed of record to Marion County
for this property, and as this
warrant was without considera-
ton, we recommend that the
County Attorney bring suit to
cancel said warrant and to per-
feet title to said property.
This completes our report, and
with thanks to your Honor, the
County Attorney and other Off
GERS for their services, we re
spectfully request to be dis
charged.

Of parliament from Hastings. The
women not only set fire to the house
but placed explosives in many Of the
rooms.
The women adopted method often
used by burglars. They first spread
papers covered with jam over the
window SO as to deaden the sound and
then smashed the large panes with
hammers, the jam preventing the bro
ken glass from falling.
As soon as the flames we're noticed
the fire brigade was summoned. The

One of the firemen was struck in the
head by a piece Of metal and seriously

court here this week on a charge of
involuntary manslaughter. The charge
lie the result of the G. H. and D. wreck

officials of the company have been
Indicted and it is expected the White
case win determine whether these in
dietments will stick" The indict-
ments against the officials we're drawn
on the theory that the officials had
failed to comply with the law pro-
viding for the installation Of block

commission Of Indiana. It later de-
veloped that the railroad commission
had given the company until January

SECTIONAL DIFFERENCES COME
REPRESENTATIVES OF VARIOUS
STATES OBJECT TO CUTS IN
THEIR PRODUCTS
NO CHANGES ARE MADE
soLoNs PLoW THROUGH AS FAR
AS CITRUS FRUITS WITHOUT
AMENDMENTS

Washington, April 15.-Slow pro-
gress in consideration Of the new tar
iff by the democratic house has up
set the delay predictions Of leaders.
The bill was to be ready for the SEN
ate by May 1. After week of deli
beration the caucus is less than half
way through the proposed measure,
with several of the important sched-
ules yet to be disposed of, notably
wool and cotton.
The income tax also is certain to
require considerable time in discus
sion, as members desire to have it
thoroughly explained. Today the eau
Gus resumed consideration of the agri-
cultural schedule, wheat being first
taken up
Representative Underwood was suf-
ficiently recovered from his illness to
resume charge of the bill in the eau
Gus, although his friends urged him
to return home until completely well.
Representative Levy OF New York
moved to place wheat on the free list,
Representative Fowler of Illinois Of
fered an amendment to increase the
proposd duty on wheat from 10 cents
to Is cents a bushel.
The caucus rejected both amend
ments and left the wheat rate as
fixed by Mr.. Underwood and his col
leagues.
When the citrus fruit provisions
were reached, democrats from Califor-
mia and Florida began a fight to main
tain present duties on lemons, lines
and oranges. Representative Church
of California offered an amendment
restoring the rates of the Dingley act.
Representatives Raker and Kettner Of
California and Sharyman Of Florida
supported the resolution and Repre-
senttive Harrison Of New York de-
Tended the rates proposed by the com
mittee.
The church amendment was reject
ed, as was also an amendment pro
posed by Clark Of Florida to increase
the duty on pineapples. This dispos-
ed of the citrus fruit fight before the
caucus and the bill so far remained
intact
