Governor Calls Special
Harris County Elections

Austin, Tex-Governor Hobby Fri
day issued his proclamation calling
special elections in Harris County on
March to fill three vacancies In the
Fifteenth representative district and
also in the Sixteenth senatorial dis
trict, composed of Harris, Fort Bend
and Waller counties. The last is to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of R. NJ Johnston, who became
chairman of the prison commission.
Representatives Lynch Davidson and
Charles Murphy resigned to make the
race for the senate to succeed Colonel
Johnston.
The third member who resigned is
Norman G. kittrell. Jr. Thus only one
of the original four representatives
elected in Harris County remains in
the house.
Calling special elections to fill va
cancies does not necessarily indicate
a special session of the legislature, as
the law requires the governor to issue
call for such elections within 20
DAYS after the vacancy occurs; other
wise returning officers must call such
elections. Thirty days notice of cleo
tion must be given.

AID FOR COUNTRIES
URGED BY PRESIDENT
Wilson Renews Appeal for
Sl50,OOO,OOO to Help
European Countries.

Washington. - Through Secretary
Glass, President Wilson Wednesday
renewed the appeal to congress to
grant credits of s15000O,000 for Po-
land, Austria and Armenia to alleviate
conditions which threaten moral and
material chaos in those countries
Secretary Glass presented the presi.
dents letter to the house ways and
means committee without comment
There was no indication when the
committee would act finally on the re-
quest of Mr.. Glass that the credits be
authorized
The presidents letter follows:
with considerable regret l have no.
ticed from the press that congress is
delaying the granting of authority for
the extension Of prompt and generous
relief to the stricken portion of Eu-
rope. the urgency and Importance of
which, especially In respect to Poland,
Austria and Armenia, you have fully
explained to the ways and means COM
AAiillOC' II ID W ludl
we should withhold from those people
who are in such mental and physical
distress the assistance which can be
rendered by making available on
credit a small portion of our export
able surplus of food which would allie
viate the situation. While l am sure
that you must have explained fully to
the ways and means committee the ap-
pal''ns situation in these parts Of Eu-
rope, where men, women and children
are now dying of starvation, and the
urgent necessity for prompt assist
ance, l beg of you that you make an
other appeal to congress. | am in
formed that through the published re-
ports of hearings before the ways and
means committee congress has now
been furnished with incontrovertible
facts showing the necessity for imme-
diate affirmative action. This pros
porous republic ought not to bear any
part of the responsibility for the moral
and material chaos that must result
from an unwillingness on our part to
aid those less fortunate than ourselves.
We can not, merely to husband small
proportion of our surplus, permit the
happenings Of this great catastrophe"

WHISKEY TRAFFIC
STILL FLOURISHES
Illicit Liquor Traffic Throughout
Country is Enormous,
Officials Assert.

Washington, Aug. 17.-lllicit traf-
fic in liquor continues in defiance
the prohibition law and its enforce
ment officials, according to reports
from all sections of the United States.
"Moonshining" and "bootlegging" are
no longer confined to dry southern
states, but have spread into a larger
field. In addition there is an in
creasing rra,,iee of stealing whisi1ey
out of loried warehouses and 81 us-
glin;; it to !alge cities.
Since Friday officials have dissm
cred between 3GO.' g. and 40O,0hC gal
Ions of whiskey alleged to have been
illegally removed from bonded ware
houses. Baltimore officials found
100000 cases of whiskey (three gal
Ions to the easel, alleged to have been
withdrawn illegally from Pittsburg
and Baltimore warehouses. Two men,
Jacob Legum, former wholesale liq-
nor dealer, and Louis B. Sless, broker,
have been arrested.
St. Louis agents discovered that
liquor worth S36O,O0o was fraudulent
ly taken from bonded warehouse at
Owensboro, Ky. At total valuation
of So gallon, the amount of whis'
Key taken would be $4,000 gallons.
Chicago reports s175,OO0 worth of
whiskey was shipped from a Ken
tucky warehouse, which, at So ga.-
lon, would make nearly $4,000 gal
Ions. Hugo Weiss and Harry Fab
brini were arrested.
With these disclosures it is not SUI
prising that dry leaders should be
alarmed at the rapid depletion of sur-
plies in bond. In June and July the
stocks diminished about 100000 ga
Ions. Leading drys, who once op-
posed all suggestions that the govern
ment buy the whiskey, are now in
favor of the action, and are expected
to renew the requests they made OF
Congress last spring.
