(Associated Press by Federal wirelessl

AUSTIN, Texas, March 16.-Goyernor Fer.
guson of Texas has heen" cleared Of charges
brought against his personal honor and off
cial ability and actions by Senator Johnson
of Hall county by the special committee APP
pointed March by joint session OF both
houses of the legislature, following one of
the most sensational sessions ever held by
the Texas Legislature.
The charges against the governor were
based upon several counts. They alleged
that the governor had at various and sun
dry times during the year Of 1915 and 1916
and during his tenure of office as governor
of the state of Texas, in violation Of the
constitution of the said state, and in plain
conflict with the decisions of the courts OF
the state, misapplied and mis-used
large part of certain appropriation
made by the thirty fourth Legislature amount
ing to SIC, 900, for governors mansion, in
Guiding repairs, improvements to mansion
and grounds and necessary labors to care for
the same.
They also charged him with having mis-
used appropriations made by the last legls-
lature, and that he had approved accounts
for articles bought for the private nse OF
himself and his family, and with violations
of the banking laws.
In its report the committee finds the
charges baseless and that there is nothing to
warrant impeachment.
