WILL NOT
QUIT OLD HOME
Vote Down Proposition to
Buy Property North Of
the Tracks.

FL Paso lodge of Elks decided Tues
day night not to sell its present home
site and buy north of the tracks The
committee which had been looking
over available sites reported several
that could be secured, and. as fore
casted in The Herald's Weekend edi-
tion. recommended as its first choice
the present site Of the Holy Family
chapel. on North oregon street, and as
its second choice. the johnson house
property on the corner of Oregon and
West Missouri. Either Of these could
be had for $4,000. the committee said
Several other sites that could be had
for less were also reported. These
included the Jewish synagOg site, the
old Kohlberg home opposite the syna-
cog, the Frank Simmons home on
Mesa avenue. the old home Of DR.. $. !.
Turner. on the corner of Missouri and
Mesa. and the home and office Of Dr.
Herbert Stevenson, on the corner OF
Wyoming and North oregon streets.
II was a notable fact that the real
estate men and larger property owners
were in favor OF buying the new site,
but the lodge, by a two TO one vote,
decided against buying any property
at the present time. The recommen-
dalton Of the committee was that the
site north Of the tracks should be pur-
chased. il for no other reason than TO
have two available sites when the
lodge is ready 70 erect its new home,
so that IL could select at that time the
site best suited to the conditions then
existing, and sell the other one.
The opposition urged that inasmuch
as the lodge is still about So, in
debt-althpugh In the past 10 years il
has liquidated an Indebtedness Of 500
OOO-it should not so further into debt
for new property.
Two real estate men, as an indicaV
ton OF their faith in north side prop
erty, offered. If the lodge purchased
the north side property, to guarantee
to take it off the hands OF the lodge
in three years at the price now asked
for il, plus interest and taxes.

CLAIMS EXCEED 100000;
NO MONEY TO PAY WITNESSES

Austin, Tex March e4.-Many in
quiries are being received by the con-
troler's department from persons over
the state holding claims for in cOuu-
ty" witness fees under the law of the
thirty-third legislature. which allows
fees TO witnesses in felony cases re-
siding in the county Of the prosecution.
as to what the legislature did about
making an appropriation to pay these
fees. Claims exceeding 100000 already
have been filed
The legislature failed to pass any law
making appropriation for this purpose,
and also failed to pass any law repeal
ing the act
When the thirty-third legislature
passed this law, an appropriation Of
100000 a year TO pay these witness
fees was attached in the general ap-
preparation bill. Governor Colquitt
vetoed the appropriation, which left
the law in effect, but imperative as it
was impossible to pay the claims.
It is estimated that If all the claims
were filed since the law went into ef-
feet, the amount would reach 100000.
