CHANGE IN DEFENSE PLANS.
Developments in Trial Of Texans
Charged With Election Irregularities

CORPUS CHRISTI. Tex, September
Illegal technicalities arising from
the testimony of Matt Dunn, who to-
day was recalled to the stand in the
case of forty-one citizens of Nueces
county charged with election irregu-
larities, on trial in the United States
district court here. caused change in
the original plans of counsel for the
defense, and upon their request the
court recessed until Monday. Attorneys
for the government contemplated
resting it's case late today.
Matt Dunn, when recalled to the
stand, told a few words of an alleged
conversation he had with one of the
defendants, Tom Dunn, his cousin,
concerning buying the Mexican vote.
He testified he spoke of the vote as
staple commodity and asked How
much are Mexican votes worth to-
day?" His cousin replied, "a little
cheaper; between 50 and So"
He said Tom Dunn told him he had
bought twenty-five votes with IS.
When Dunn attempted to tell of a
supposed conversation with Judge
Walter Timon. another defendant. the
defense objected, and the argument de-
veloped a technical point resulting in
the court declaring recess.

TO INCLUDE IN BUDGET
GREAT FALLS PROJECT
Regarded as Certain Commissioners
Will Ask Authority to Utilize
Water Power.

This week will witness the inaugura-
tion of work on the Districts annual
estimates.
Commissioner Newman is expected
| back Wednesday from a vacation in
the Catskill mountains Commissioners
Brownlow and Kutz have had their
on the budget framing Just as soon as
Commissioner Newman returns. The
work is expected to be well under way
by the end of the week
Among the improvements which are
almost certain of being provided for
are the harnessing of the water power
at Great Falls preparation of plans for
new Calvert street. bridge, the mu-
nicipal hospital, to be located at 14th
and Upshur streets, and the reforma-
tory for long term prisoners, to be To-
Gated on a Observation-Disclosures tract
adjoining the workhouse at Occoquan,
Va.
Initial appropriations have been
made for the latter institutions and
Congress will be asked to appropriate
the next installments required for pros
ecuting the work.
Form of Estimate Undetermined.
While it is practically an established
fact that the Great Falls project is to
be definitely recommended to Congress
this year. there is considerable uncer-
tainty as to how the request for the
appropriation will be made. Whether
the estimate for the initial appropria-
ton will be carried in the District or
War Department budget or provided
for in a separate bill will not be de-
termined until after Commissioner
NeWman's return. when there will be
further conferences on the subject be-
tween District and federal government
officials
Engineer Commissioner Kutz will
urge on his colleagues that prelimi-
nary steps toward the construction of
new Calvert street bridge be taken
without further. delay, and the esti-
mates probably will provide $4,000
for the preparation of plans for this
purpoSe.
other extraordinary improvements will
be provided for in the estimates, but
it is quite likely that the Commission
ers will be liberal in dealing with the
city's Fairgrounds needs. The impor-
tance of buying land for Fairgrounds
before realty values become any higher
is recognized That there is not a
single playground for white children
in the southwest section of the city
has been called 10 the Commissioners
that a decision will be reached to pro-
vide this missing link in the city's
chain of Juvenile recreation parks.
Street Improvements in View.
The estimates may not provide for
any extensive park acquisition. other
than land required for Fairgrounds. but
are expected to include liberal amounts
for street extensions and improve
ments. as the bulk of recommendations
for improvements submitted by the
citizens associations is in relation to
street matters. In this connection the
Commissioners will visit the various
sections of the city and inspect the
streets which the associates have
called to their attention. They prob
ably will not put the finishing touches
upon the budget until just before Oc-
tober Is, the date on which they are
required by law to transmit the esti-
mates to the Secretary of the Treasury.
