VIII Improve 1urleson street-May
Take Up OIL MIL Spur on
Bryan Street.

Superintendent Wilson OF the !. &
q. N. Railroad and General Manager
A. q. Wilmington also OF the I. & @.
N. were In the city today TO confer
with Mayor Harris and City Engineer
Adams about repairing the streets on
which their railroad track runs.
They agreed TO begin work on West
Burleson street not later than next
Monday. July 9th, and would fill in
the low places and level the street up
and put II In first-class condition, and
would gravel. shell and oil the street
80 as TO make first class driveway.
There will be a twenty-foot driveway
on each side OF the track. They agreed
to all that was demanded on West Bur
Lesson street except putting in the con-
crete curbs and cutters. but they
agreed to cut dirt bitches along side
the road according to levels furnished
by the city engineer II these dirt
bitches do not prove satisfactory they
will then build the concrete curbs and
cutters and leave a written contract
with Mayor Harris to this effect.
The work on Bryan street will be de-
layed until the council meets and de-
cldes on what will be demanded OF the
railroad. Mr.. Wilmington agreed to
fiji in Austin street at the Bryan street
intersection solidly from Main street
across Bryan street where the bridge
is now located and would run a culvert
under this In connection with the city's
storm sewers for proper drainage.
II the city decides to cut down An
derson street from Bryan street to Red
Top street. this will necessitate low
erlng the |. a. @. N. track all along to
Austin street. Mr.. Wilmington ex-
pressed a willingness TO remove the en-
tire switch track on Bryan street
rather than 20 10 the large expense OF
lowering the track all along the street
and making the improvements de-
manded by the city. This may be
done in the end. Mayor Harris ex-
pressed a belief that this would be the
best thing after all. as Bryan street
is fast becoming business street and
the switch track along It's center is
quite a drawback to the street. The
council will be called together in a
short while to decide definitely on the
improvements on Bryan street that
will be demanded OF the railroad.

WHAT THE TIME PoRTENDs.
(By Robert NJ. LaFollette. United
States Senator)

There is just one issue before the
country today. 1t is not trust regula-
ton. 1t is not banking and currency.
1t is not conservation. These and
and other important questions are but
phases of one great conflict.
Let no public servant think he is
not concerned; that his State or his
constituency is not interested. There
is no remote corner of this country
where the power of Special Interest
is not encroaching on public rights.
Let no man think this is a question
of party policies. 1t strikes down to
the very foundation of our free in
situations. The system knows no
party. 1t has long supplanted govern
ment.
Without risk of being difference OF
opinion among them as to existing con.

And now the Hon, James Il. Fergu-
son has acknowledged that he too has
yielded to the seductive uncertainty in
a game of chance and INDUCED in the
joys of set in" at poker. Yes he
says he played the papes and played
them for money. 1t was on the way
to the Baltimore Convention and he
played with other delegates. the stakes
being 8 cents ante and 81 limit All
people with good sense will know that
it was merely social, a pastime and
not for the money there was in it.
So was the game Col. Ball played.
All this talk about either one of them
playing poker is absolutely silly, and
all people with thimble full of grey
matter will not give either charge q
moments serious consideration.

In fact, the vote was for Temple Jim

not those participating and showing
their preference come from every
county in the state? They did. Their
preference may have been TINS ex-
pressed. but supporters OF Colonel
Ball need lose no sleep. The vote
was taken Sunday among the inmates
OF the state penitentiary and will,
therefore, make but little difference

TIE Eagle is not prepared to state
whether the above is an actual fact OF
whether It is hoax. II It be fact

THE PYE CASE
ST|RS UP THINGS
The Ruling Under Which Pye Was Re-
arrested Makes Escaped convlets
Of 10000 Men.

An amazing mass OF twisted. tan
gled records In prison affairs in Texas
has been brought to light as a result
OF the rearresting last week OF +. Il.
Pye OF Houston upon the decision OF
Attorney General Looney that Pye had
been discharged from the Huntsville
penitentiary before his time was up
and that, under the law, he occupied
the position OF an escaped convict.
II this Interpretation is upheld. the
startling conclusion must be reached
that there are today more than 10000
ESCAPED convicts" at large in Texas.
This must be so because every prls.
oner entered at Huntsville since 1s49,
Sc years ago, had had his time com.
puted and his discharge granted UNI
der exactly similar figuring as was
used In the Pye case.
Pye, being forced TO serve additional
time on account OF the alleged mis-
take OF the prison officials. II natur-
ally follows that every prisoner ever
discharged from Huntsville must be
returned TO serve time ranging from a
few days to months and even years.
The confusion arises In the main from
the difference In the dates OF sentence
or OF affirmation OF sentence after APP
peal and that borne by the mandate is
sued by the various court clerks.
As Senator w. o. Murray. chairman

That many Of these men have for
years led upright lives. have outlived

into prison without trial.
That the authorities, at a word,
could begin to gather them up and cast
them back into prison.
That one prisoner. serving a life
term. has been held two years without
his papers having been issued.

ance OF mandate.-Houston Chronicle
Pye. II will be remembered, was the
Houston banker convicted in the dis
trict court here and given two years
in the penitentiary. He appealed his
case, but the verdict OF the lower court
was affirmed. Pye then went to the
Penitentiary alone and served until dis
charged by due process. Since his
discharge some discrepancy in dates
was discovered and he was rearrsted
and sent back to serve a few months
longer.

CAMDEN TAKES
A SLAM FROM
OUR BROWNSON
Locals Break Up Eastern
League Defense and
Win in a Walk

Brownson smashed through the
strong defense Of the Camden team,
Of the Eastern League, in Brownson
Hall last night, and then outplayed
them TO the tune Of AZ to 2S. Brown
son never played better game, their
floor work was perfect, and every
man had his eye on the basket all the
time Camden had her best men in
the game. but they could do nothing
with the local boys, who held them at
every turn.
The first half was fast and furious
And when the referees whistle an
nounced that il had ended, Brownson
was leading by a lS to II score.
The second half found both teams
fighting hard for an early lead. Sud-
denly Brownson forged ahead and
was never stopped.
Joe Haney was the brilliant per-
former for the locals. He held his
man of in great style in defense
work and found time TO drop in nine
field goals during the game.
The Camden team came down with
a strong lineup. and, of course. ex-
pected an easy victory. but were
much surprised when they bumped
up against a stonewall In BroWnson.
At forward Adams played a good
game. but his weight was a handicap
to him. He registered but one two
pointer. but Gagged ten free shots.
Dolan was the troublo-maker for
Brownson, as his work kept them
ION the 60" all the time He scored
FIVE hard field goals for his team,
several Of them being from dinicult
angles.
On Wednesday night the Brownson
team viii go 70 Camden, where they
will meet the Camden Eastern League
