''' JEFFERSON NAN
SheDpard aad Culberson 10 Recon
mend B. r. Shsrrell Tor Eastern
District Federal MArshalShip.

Washington, Feb. lit hav
ling become apparent that the
Senate will not confirm Phil
Baer of Paris, Tex, as United
States Marshal for the Eastern
Distric of Texas, Federal Judge
Gordon Russell is facing the
probability of having to appoint
a United States Marshal March
4, to serve until President Will
son names a new Marshal and
the Senate confirms his nomina-
ton. Therefore, Judge Russell
has asked Senators Culbersor
and Sheppard who they will re
commend for the place, for Judge
Russell wants to name the man
who will probably receive the
appointment atthe hands Of Pres
ident Wilson.
Today the two Texas Senator'S
announced they have agreed 10
recommend Hon. B. +. Sherrell
of Jefferson for the position and
have so notified Judge Russell.
Special to Dallas News.
The above announcement will
be very gratifying not only to
the hosts of friends of Col. Is f.
Sherrell in Jefferson, his home
town where he has resided ever
since his early boyhood, but also
to those throughout the State
and elsewhere;and Senators Cul-
berson and Sheppard are to be
congratulated upon the wisdom
of their choice for this impor-
tant Office.
Now in the prime of life, and
in every respect a self-made
man of superior judgment and
discretion, man of affairs and
Of strong convictions, exceeding
| ly practical and successful in
business, enterprising and pro-
gressive, always a loyal Demo
crat, active and prominent in the
councils of the party, a Jealous
supporter of Woodrow Wilson
from start to finish, an advocate
of progressive principles and a
strict enforcement of the law, it
goes without saying that as Mar
shall Of this district Col. Sherrell
will make good in every parti-
| cular.

she was startled, to say the least. and

Then It was that the occupants OF

This poem written by the late Ephraim Terry
after the fall of the Alamo He fought under
General Sam Houston for the freedom Of Texas.
AS all Texas is agitated over what shall be the fate
OF the Alamo this poem is a prophecy made sixty
years and seems like voice from the grave plead
ing Tor its protection
Didst see that ancient house of stone,
BATTLES there for freedom won,
Each rock cemented in its walls,
Each ghost a-wandering through its halls.
Each blast that trough its ruins rave
Each legend of its fearless brave,
Each precious stone we proudly claim
AS dear to liberty and fame.
Let not The chisled hands of art,
PraGauely TO its walls impart
An instrument that may erase
It's impress rude of ancient days.
With fashions or forms bedecked,
BY rude hand Of an architect
Alone! in glory let it stand,
The proudest relic of our land.
Alamo that has breasted countless storms,
That shrouded late thousand forms,
Alamo SO SILENT still and mute,
Doth of Eternity salute,
Our wandering eyes, and listening ears,
In language of bygone years,
Speaking to us with tongue of gloom,
In language borrowed from the tomb
Or records mute unfathomed deep,
Of ages that forgotten sleep.
Oh! let its ancient walls be spared
SO long to time and tempest barred.
Spare it oh human in thy rage,
Spare it for the Majesty of age,
Spear it We seasons, cold and heat,
Ye storms, surcharged with rain and sleet.
Spare it lightnings thy vivid flash,
Spare nor let thy bolts it crash
Spare it We elements in trust,
And human policy the worst.
Oh let it's sacred walls be spared,
So long to time and tempest barred.
Its history how vainly tell
It's victims too, how vainly SWELL
When Crockett, brave, and Bowie fell
And many more as fearless brave.
Borne on by freedoms jeweled wave,
To glory through it's antique nave
Oh let it's sacred walls be spared,
So long to time and tempest barred
Alone in glory let it stand,
The proudest relic of our land.

AT Broad street park today the re-
representatives. OF John Marshall high
school and McGuires will meet in an
endeavor to wipe out all old scores.
McGuires has beaten High School
twice this season by very close scores,
but The High School fellows expect to
win today.
McGuires, while not overconfident,
are sure the game will result in an
other victory for them.
Although the coaches have not de
cided who will pitch. it is very prob
able that Hammond will pitch for Nc
Cures and Baldwin for High School.
Both of the twirlers have been doing
fine work this season and the game
today is likely to result in a pitchers
battle.
The probable lineup of the two teams
will be: McC;uire's-Craven, catcher
Hammond, pitcher: Paschail, shortstop;
Leach, first baseman; Starkey, second

WRESTLERS ARE
NOW WORKING
TURNER AND OLSEN PREPARING
FOR BOUT AT BALL PARK
FRIDAY NIGHT.

Joe Turner and Young Olsen are
now hard at work training for their
bout at the Ball park on Friday
night. Joe arrived in town as per
schedule and Immediately began to
work out in preparation for the
match. He says he is feeling fine
and is in the best of condition. Olsen
also claims to be in firstclass physical
condition and both of the wrestlers'
appearances seem TO justify their
claims.
They seem to be about evenly
matched so far as weight and strength
go and anyone who has seen them
work knows that each has a deal of
strategy and knowledge of the game
to call upon whenever ii is needed,
Considering the former matches it
would seem that the wearer of the
Police Gazette belt would have slight
iy the better of the argument, but
Olsen is a man who will not bear
fooling with and the match Is likely
TO furnish several surprises. 1t is
the confident opinion of those who
have been following the wrestling
game closely that the match Friday
night will be- one of the closest and
