PEN COMMITTEE ADVISES
GUARDS BE PROSECUTED

Austin, Texas. Aug 13--The pen
itentiary investigating committee
authorized 20 investigate the killing
~ two convicts by penitentiary
guards on the Eastman prison farm
last July, submitted a report late to-
day The committee recommends
that the two guards, John Wells and
Charles Whitley, be permanently dis
missed from the system. They found
that the killing was unjustihsble, and
that the guards could have overtaken
the escaping men if they had tried.
The committee recommends that
the case be called to the attention Of
grand jury by the prison commits
sion, and that the guards be prose-
cuted il indictments are found.
The committee further recon-
mends that guards be instructed not
TO shoot convicts until all other means
Of recapturing them have been ex-
hausted The committee also recon-
mends that a sufficient number Of
bloodhounds be kept for the purpose
Of overtaking escaping convicts.

CITY WATER TANK FELL
AT HALE CENTER TUESDAY

A very disasterous thing happened
TO Hale Center Tuesday when the city
water tank collapsed.
The tank was just recently built,
made Of concrete, and was ten feet
across and over thirty feet high.
This is a great loss TO the town as
the funds for building the tank were
made up by subscription. Plans had
been made for laying a pipe line
over the business district Of the town
and subscriptions had already been
made for laying the pipe.
The tank evidently was not built as
it should have been and some say it
was a good thing il fell as no one
was around at the time. Prof. Sears
had been up on the tank about ten
minutes before il fell
II is not known yet as TO whether
another tank will be built OF not

An Old Indian
Custom Of Marking
Directions to Water

In travelling over the plains Of
Western Texas, one now and then
comes upon little isolated heaps Of
rock in twos, that az first glance seem
not at all remarkable. After a time,
however, one notices that one heap
is generally about three feet high
and the other about n foot lower.
The two are always within a few feet
Of each other, and usually on an ele-
walton or a plateau commanding
view of the country for five miles
or more.
The rocks are roughly heaped to-
gether. as II left by children at play.
Al first one is likely 20 wonder
whether they can be ruins Of ancient
stone buildings but this idea is Mt
once dismissed as improbable, for
there is scarcely another stone in
sight
In time one learns the significance
Of these rock heaps, as he talks WITH
some Of the Indians who know IN
heart all the legends and customs
and deeds of their people. According
to these Indians when the Great
Spirit lapped up the mighty rivers

water basins here and there for the
antelope and the Indians. These the
antelope easily found by scent, but
the Indians had to search long and
anxiously for them. Once found,
they were seldom lost, thanks 70
these rude rock heaps.
You may see an Indian crouch
down behind the taller heap, sight
over the low one, and mark the far
thorest object in a sraight line, which
is likely to be a bunch Of bushes on
the horizon Then he rides toward
these bushes and finds-not water, as
he expected but two other heaps Of
rocks. Sighting as before and TAX

ward the Southwest as a goal he

GAME WARDEN APPOINTED
FOR SHAMROCK AREA

Shamrock, August 15.-A game
warden has been recently appointed
here, il became known today, at the
solicitation of local sportsmen and
also upon advice Of the state game
warden. From reports IL appears
that a large number Of nonresident
hunters have been coming here daily
for the past few weeks and killing
prairie chickens by the hundreds One
farmer stated that nearly 200 prairie
chickens had been killed on his farm
In one day. This, the newly appoint
ed game warden says must be stop
ped at once, and all persons found
guilty Of violating the game laws win
be severely punished.

there, trickling out from beneath the

clear water.
II is said that whenever a band Of
Indians came upon new spring thcy

signposts lead either TO water or to
places that show traces Of former

CHINESE MAKE FIRES
 OF VALUABLE DRUGS

SHANGHAI. China. Dec. 22.-More than S5.OOO.O 900 worth of opium, he roin, morphine and other Contraband drugs which have fallen into the hands of the local authorities during the past several months were burned in Shanghai at the customs kilns in the presence of customs officials, rep resentatives of the municipality of the Chimes provincial and local off ciais
 The burning was the largest since $11 .o00 000 worth of opium was de- stroyed in Canton by Commissioner Lin. During the past few months a number of sensational opium seizures have been made by Shanghai police. Perhaps the largest was the captur- ing of more than a quarter million dollars worth of opium when it was being hauled through the street in a truck camouflaged az a soda water factory wagon.

PASTORS PLEASE CONWELL
"What | Advocated" He Says Of
Baptists Resolution on Prohibition


The Rev DR.. Russell II. Conwell,
pastor Of Grace Baptist Church, in
terprcts resolution adopted By the
Baptist minister's conference yesterday
on the question OF prohibition as being
exactly along the line I have been
fighting for"
The resolution read We depiore
as singularly unwise any agitation
which will tend 70 weaken The hands Of
those entrusted with the difficult duty
of the enforcement of the law, or that
will prevent the passage Of such state
legislation IA will assist in enforcing
provisions Of the eighteenth amend
ment.
Regarding this expression of opinion,
DR.. Conwell said:
The hands of the agents of the law
are weakened by the fact that there is
no moral support behind them. There
should be common sense law that
could be enforced with the power Of
the people behind it. The ministers
are correct in stating that the lcgis-
latures of various states should have
something to say regarding enforce
ment within their commemorative.

line with no indications Of improvement.
The number of idle cars Is increasing on
nearly every line. The movement of
corn to seuboard is showing some in
crease.
Officials Of southern roads report n
general decrease in traffic compared to
last year of II to 10 per cent. Coal
traffic has dropped of as has been the
case West and East. One thing that
continues to keep up the traffic Is the
grain movement TO the gulf ports, wheat
shipments being good with corn increas-
ing. Cotton shipments are moderate in
volume. Lumber showed further fall
ing off compared to last year.
