OPINIONS GIVEN BY ATTORNEY GENERAL
Club Members Can't Pool to Buy IL
quor-UnIawfuI to Operate SUNDAY
Moving Picture Shows, Etc.

Austin, Textile attorney general
answered a question from Amarillo
Monday to the effect that where club
members throw in and make COM
mon fund to procure liquors and then
dispense same to the members, that
prosecutions should follow, if it was,
in fact, an evasion of the law.
1t was held that a county Judge can
not keep books for a 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, 1t
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-
satlon. .ztf>as>.~'
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 ad-
vised that under the amendment TO
the fee bill, enacted at the recent ses-
sion of the legislature, counties hav-
ing a 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 a county treasurer to
an amount not exceeding $40 pei
month; that the law in providing other
compensation of county treasurer pro
vides that it shall not exceed 212 pei
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
per cent for receiving and one-half o.
l per cent for disbursing. This, o.
course, could not be controlled by the
commissioners court

A $4,000 Fire at Lafayette.

Lafayette-Fire broke out in the
Lafayette garage Sunday and con-
sumed the entire building, together
with the contents, consisting of TWEEN
ty-three automobiles.
From the garage the flames spread
to the La Coste hardware store ad-
joining. This structure and contents
were wiped out. Although a strong
southeast wind was blowing, the vol
unteer fire department succeeded in
combining the blaze to the one block.
Estimates of the losses sustained
range from $4,000 to $4,000. Two
negroes who were working in the
garage at the time were severely burn
ed when a tank of gasoline exploded
near them,

Watch Tower Man Dispatcher.

New Orleans.-A railroad watch
tower man who transmits or receives
information by telephone as to the
movements of trains is entirely within
the scope of the federal statute pro-
viding that no operator, train dis
patcher or other employed who, by
use of the telegraph or telephone, dis
patches or handles orders pertaining
TO the movement of trains, shall re-
main on duty longer than nine hours
in any twenty-four.
This is according to the opinion
handed down Monday by the United
States circuit court of appeals in the
case OF the United States against the
Houston Belt and Terminal Company
of Houston, Texas, on error from the
southern district of Texas. The court
reversed the judgment in favor of the
railroad company and remanded the
case for a new trial. ae@ssi

FREE WOOL IS WRITTEN IN TARAIFF
Republicans Wage a Bitter Fight for
1sc Duty, But Lose eattIe-The
Vote Stood "a to 1873.

Washington.-The wool schedule
was passed without amendment by
the house Saturday in its considera-
ton of the Underwood tariff bill. 1t
went through with little excitement.
The republicans concentrated their
attacks on the schedule by presenting
a blanket amendment as a substitute
for it, This substitute, prepared by
Representative Payne, provided rate
of 1Sc a pound on raw wool, placed
on the free list in the Underwood bill,
and comparative rates based on a
duty of 1Sc pound on the wool con-
tanned in the various stages of manu-
featured woolens. The republicans
vociferously proclaimed their substi-
tute to be in conformity with the re-
port which the tariff committee made
on the wooden schedule two years ago.
The democrats as emphatically de-
clared it was not.
Members representing wool-growing
states failed to materialize in the vote
on raw wool. The republican substi-
tute was defeated, and the Underwood
Schedule passed, "A to 1913. 'ss:s,.ysae.
The republican attack on the I'm
derwood wool schedule was bitter.
After three hours of general debate,
Republican Leader Mann and Demo.
cratic Leader Underwood summed UP
the discussion.
Several years ago." said Mr.. Mann
I'VE republicans provided for a tariff
board. We PROF csc to stand by the
report of that board and present a
wooden schedule based upon the infor
nation ascertaineG by it. For years
the wooden scheGule has been point
of controversy, and for the first time
in the history CT our tariff making
we propose a scientific wooden SEIZED
ule, and we will appeal to the country
to support a taii.f based on real in
formation,
"Candidly," ans Eered Mr.. Under
wood, this bill c,iginally was writ
ten with a duty .. l5.per cent on raw
wool. But the Inference between
your party and oIcs is that we cal
get together anG ga can't"
Except on "a WOOL" he con
tinued, your bill .3;lows the rates il

mates the tariff beard reports. Blu

duty on raw wool the tariff board wa
divided. Its report on that subjec
was a Scotch vera It."

ment of 81 and costs for the plaintiff.
This included attorneys fees amount

$4,000 for injury to his reputation and
business, $4,000 for injury to his feel

Norman Has Premonition.

Vidalia.-A premonition probably
saved the life of Mrs. Lydia David
Friday. Mrs. David was at Clayton
telephoning to her sister, Mrs. Madi'
son Jones, in Vidalia, while the steam
er Concordia was landing at Clayton
Mrs. Jones asked Mrs. David to come
to Vidalia on the boat. Mrs. David
however, declined, stating that she
was a passenger in April, 1912, on the
Concordia when the vessel sank al
Jackson Point. Mrs. David had q
narrow escape at that time, and stated
that she would not go on the Con
cordia. 1t was only short while later
that the Concordia rammed the rail
road pier and went down.

To Seek Oil on Red River Tract.

Coushatta.-The Chaffraix tract of
land, containing about 5000 acres, in

near the Jenkins well in De Soto

teen barrels of oil per day.
