CAMP TRAVIS WEEKLY
NEWS LETTER

On Tuesday morning of this week
five negroes who had part in the
Houston riots of 1917, were hanged
fulfilling the orders Of the courtmar-
tial which had tried them. Rev. F.
II Kane, the Catholic clergyman who
had received them into that faith,
was the only civilian present, and the
only soldiers other than officers who
were present were the guards of the
codemned men. The hanging took
place at Fort Sam Houston. The gal
lows were built after dark, and were
torn down Immediately after the
hanging, so that no morbid curiosity
seekers should find the spot.

ALBANY, Dec. II. - Governor-elect
Smith will not have time to follow the
MAN initiated by Gov. Whitman Of pre-
parihg and sending to the Legislature
early in January an executive State
budget.
II usually has taken Gov. Whitman's
budget bureau a month to prepare his
budget. The legislative budget, how
ever. can be accepted by the new Gov
ernor, as his wishes will be consulted
regarding its makeup by the legislative
financial leaders.
The Legislative Budget.
The legislative budget committee has
tabulated the appropriations asked for
by State departments and State tnsti-
buttons for the fiscal year beginning
July /, aggregating about $s7,000,000.
or s15,0O0,O0 more than was appro-
priated for the present fiscal year.

State Senator James A. Foley be-

The budget Of the present year. This
would mean s22,oO0.o0O cut in the
requests for appropriations. Those
who have prepared the executive
budget during the last three years have
estimated that an $S5,0O0.000 budget
would be needed for next year, or $4,-
