Unsold Land in Texas

FROM the new 1Ork sun.
Austin, Tex.-Accordng to the third
biennial report of Land Commissioner 7.
T. Robinson there are unsold In Texas
1884,. 045 acres of land belonging to tie
school fund, of which 1,632550 are I'M
leased. In his report Mr.. Robson states
that there are 1,2201S5 acres of land which
is not leased and is composed mostly of
mountains, canyons, gorges, rocky hills
and barren wastes" There are now
leased approximately 214.S95 acres.
On September l, 1905, there became eff
fective the law changing the system OF
selling school lands so as to award the
land to the highest bidder under COM
petitive proposals. This law was drawn
by Commissioner Robson and a sum-
mary by years shows that the increase
over the former fixed price of these lands
was s24514,947. This sum represents the
increase to the school fund In the obliga-
ton given by the purchaser in acquiring
the lands sold under this new law.
The report shows that the total perma-
nent school fund aggregates s6s, OF, $685.
consisting of bonds. interest, notes and
land. During the past two years there
were sold 2,0li, 067 acres of school land
for s69s6,5s5, while for the same period
24S0Sl5 acres were forfeited valued at
So 264.S 76. of which 26o.153 acres were re-
instated. valued at $T.5,28S. The large
number of forfetures not reinstated Is
due to those who took advantage of the
reappraisement act.

.LODY IN LETTER SAYS
SHERMAN RIGHT.

Omaha, Neb., November 15.-Gener-
al Sherman's cryptic description of war
was accurate according to Carl Hans
Lody, in a last letter to friends here
before his execution as a German spy
in the courtyard of the Tower of Lon
don.
In the missive. written before the end
eff the trial, the young German naval
officer indicated he foresaw his fate.
A translation of parts of the letter,
dated, THE Tower. London, October
81" reads
my feelings run riot when I review
the dramatic events of the last three
years and what is the probab BILE climax
of it all. ! am prepared to make a
clean breast of all this trouble. but
TatherIand and avoid as much as pos
sible the humiliation for those who
have been near and dear to me.
81 am IN the tower. Hourly while l
am confined here. an unfriendly guard
PAGES the corridor. My counselor is an
attorney cf some standing. but I oft.
times feel that he is trying to do hts
ddty to his country rather than defend
his client Next week I shall know my
fate, although there hardly can be a
doubt as to what 1t is to be.
You may have an opportunity To
say word to some of those for whom
feel an interest. Ask them to Judge
me not too harshly. When they hear OF
me again. doubtless my body shall have
heen placed In concrete beneath this old
tower, or my bones shall have made
a pyre. But l shall have served my
country. Maybe some historian will
record me among the despised class
of war victims. A spiritual adviser
already has been to visit me, 1t was

.CARRANzA MAKES A
CONDITIONAL OFFER
TO ABD|CATE OFFICE
Would Turn Military Over
To Gonzalez and Leave
For Havana If Villa
Will Do So

Mexico City, November 15.--GenernI
from Cordoba saying Csrranza had Of
fcred to turn, over the military forces
I" General Gonzalez and leave for Ha-
vnna not later than November ~, IL
Villa wound turn over his command
to General Gutierrez and go TO Havana
ON the same date. The Aguas Calientes
convention must meet In Mexico City
the day villa and Carranza arrive in
Havana, according to the offer.
The convention In Mexico City then
must ratify the election of Gutierrez or
choose another provisional president to
hold office until the general elections If
these conditions are not met by November
30, Carranza. according to General Obre-
gon, will resume power as first chief of
the constitutionalists
Commenting on the offer, General Obre-
gon said he was willing to fight both Car
rama and Villa If necessary to drive them
from the country and restore peace.
The proposition of Carranza," said
obregon, will relieve him of all RESPONSE
bility in case of hostilities. 1 am certain
Gutierrez will accept the offer. II Villa
does not wish to place himself in ridic-
ulous position he will subordinate per-
sonal ambitions to patriotism and ac-
cept. If, unfortunately, the proposal
comes to naught, we will fight against
all the evil sons of Mexico until we ex-
terminate them
'Hostilities have been ordered sus-
pended. but We learn that these orders
have been disobeyed.
Obregon later telegraphed Gutierrez say
ing that despite the American promise to
evacuate Vera Cruz, the evacuation, in
his opinion, would not take place unless
Villa left the country. On the contrary,
he said, he thought the Americans would
occupy ports In case of civil war. AS
evidence of his good faith, Obregon Of
fered to leave the country himself when
Carranza and Villa go if the convention
so directs.
General Iturbe, brlgadier in command
of the forces of the northwest, wired
Obregon today that he recognized 0bre-
gon alone, owing to the confused condi-
tons, thus apparently ignoring both Car
rama and the Aguas Calientes conven-
ton.

TT IS UP TO GEORGE!


kindly stated that he had consumption
and might live a few months longer
II he went to the camp in the fresh
air.
George went to the cmap of Dr.
Eaves and set about with a grim de-
termination to get back his rugged
health 1t was long battle, but in
September he had gained a foothold on
life and from then he improved stead
lily until at the present time he is in
better health than ever before in his
life
While at the tuberculosis camp Ty-
Ter often thought of what he would
do for living whenever he was strong
enough to work. He determined to stick
to police work as pomotion was sure
to come as he had given five valuable
years to the city of Birmingham. He
called during the last weeks of Septem-
Der at police headquarters and an
nounced that he was ready to go back
to work. To his surprise he was told
That while he was sick his name had
been taken off the police rolls and that
he had no more job than a rabbit.
George, with bitterness in his heart at
the ruthless methods of cold hearted
city officials slowly wended mis- way
back to the Red Mountain camp.
A long nights rest and with a smile
of determination, Tyler was up the next
morning ready to give battle to the
world He pondered on what he would
do. He finally wished himself on the
American stage.
No sooner had George determined to
become an actor than he set about pre-
pairing himself for the job. Tyler is
more than an Idle dreamer. He dreams
awhile then goes about to make his
dream come true. In other words he is
a live wire" George informed his
friends that he was going to take a
crack at the stage. He stated that he
was preparing a tramp character
sketch. Everybody laughed at him and
| the talk was that George was still
off his nut from his illness.
| However, last Monday night at the
| Grand theatre without any undue ad-
| vertisement-in fact none of his friends
. knew of it-Tyler, as a tramp coined
, ian, appeared on the bill He made
good from the start Some of his police
| friends were in the audience and they
applauded without knowing that 1t was
George Tyler that was up there throw
ing out old gags. When they found
out that 1t was really George, they an
nounced that they had known it all the
time and only applauded to encourage
him.

A Freak Memory

The possession of a freak memory was
revealed during the course of a case Of
robbery tried some years ago at Mel
bourne. The prisoner declared that when
the crime was committed he was in the
hut of man named Lane, hearing him
recite Walpole's "Old English Baron.
which occupied two hours and a half in
the delivery. The jury disbelieved this
statement. so Lane was called to prove
that he was capable Of the feat. He
stepped into the witness box and started
reciting the story in a way that showed
he knew it thoroughly. When ne had
gone on for sometime without moment 8
hesitation. the Judge wanted him to stop,
but counsel for the defense insisted upon
proving his case by having the whole
story repeated. Evidently. It was decided
to admit the evidence II Lane could re-
neat the last page OF the book. This be-
ing satisfactorily accomplished. the alibi
was allowed and the prisoner received his
discharge.

S2210N.00O a Day

No war chronicled by history will have
devoured such huge sums of money as
the present battle of the nations, says a
Paris special to the New York Sun The
minimum cost is estimated here by econo-
mists at $2,00o,000,000, The figures given
by military writer's coincide and agree
that about $500, 900 men are under arms
for land warfare. To these must be
added 100000 seamen
If the Balkan war can be taken as an
example. the cost of each man mobilized
amounts to $3.50 a day This gives
about $22, 100 900 daily, $685.. 000, 600 month
ly This figure is however, considerably
short /of the mark, because it does not
take into account the maintenance of the
armies and fleets. The German Reich
stag authorized extraordinary expendi-
tanned by loan, and further sum of
$10.0oo,00o to be drawn on the gold and
silver reservoir the empire.
1t is now well known that the tax of
per cent on the stock Of notes issued
by the Reichsbank over and above it's re-
serve In metal has been suppressed. The
German government will therefore secure
the loan required by an issue of bank
notes uncovered by a reserve of gold and
silver This issue reminds one of the
assisnats of the first French revolution,
of which few samples are kept as Curl
GUS heirlooms In French families.
1t is said here that the Austrian army
on a war footing costs the empire 81
100000 a day. but the Austrian treasury
was emptied by the mobilization during the
Balkan wars, which drained the financial
resources of the empire for more than a
year. and it sis hard to see where the
Austrian monarcy can find the 1920. 600 COO
required to keep the imperial and royal
armies and navy during the great war Just
opened.
The above figures arc probably far short
of reality, and it is therefore difficult
to see how the central European en-
pires can support a long and arduous war
