THREE YEARS In PRISON
Pleads Guilty To Violating Federal
Narcotic Laws.

The criminal docket for the federal
court of the San Antonio division was
called Tuesday morning. The first
case to be tried by jury will be that
of John Wulff set for 2 o'clock Tues
day afternoon. Wulff is under indict-
ment by the federal grand jury for
alleged violation Of the narcotic laws.
The jury to hear the Wulff case was
selected Tuesday morning after the
routine business of calling the criminal
docket had been completed.
One plea of guilty to violation of
the narcotic laws was heard Tuesday
morning. Benito Cruz, against whom
the grand jury had returned an in
dictment charging violation of the
narcotic laws, entered a plea of guilty
and was sentenced 10 three years in
the federal penitentiary at Leayen-
worth. Kan.
Although several other criminal
cases have been set for trial Tuesday
afternoon, it, is believed that most of
the. afternoon will be taken in hear
ing the john Wulff case.
Approximately. 60 informations, for
the most part charging violations of
the national prohibition laws, have been
filed with the clerk of the federal court
by the district attorney. The Informal
tons will be presented to the court
probably at the conclusion of the cases
for which Indictments have been re-
turned by the grand jury.

NEFF OPPOSED TO
MOVING OF PRISON
SITE NEAR AUSTIN
Governor Advocates Crea-
ton of Factories and
Shops at Penitentiary.

Navasota, Tex, Jan. 3.--Opposition
to the removal of the state penitentiary
to within 10 miles of Austin, as pro-
posed in a resolution passed by the last
Legislature, was expressed by Governor
Neff in the sixth of his series of BIB
lical" addresses here last night. The
executive expressed himself favoring
concentration and readjustment" of
the penitentiary instead of moving the
entire institution.
Governor Neff proposed the sale of
four of the thirteen penitentiary farms
and conversion of the penitentiary plant
at Huntsville into a hospital for the
insane. Retention of seven farms in
Brazoria and Fort Bend counties and
construction of a new penitentiary plant
on one of them was the governors plan
of readjustment of the prison system.
These farms aggregate approximately
$4,000 acres, and are within a 50-mile
radius of each other.
1.-The convicts should be employed at
different industries" Governor Neff
stated. "A cotton factory, tannery, shoe
factory, wagon factory and cabinet shop
should be established for manufacturing
cloth, shoes, vehicles, furniture and
other fixtures for the penitentiary. The
purchase of these industrial plants
would be to utilize the labor of the
prison in producing articles for state
use and 10 train the convicts in pro-
ductive trade"
Governor Neff also declared he fa-
vored the use of $50 convicts for work
on the public roads and the use of an
other small group in the manufacture
of cement and Other materials for use in
road building. Establishment of an
"honor farm" also was advocated.
The governor was to speak at Liberty
tonight.

Reid lost no time in going to this
lawyer who listened with apparent SYM
patty TO the recital but said he hardly
thought be had enough personal influ-
ence to prevent publication of the

do.
The attorney came back to Reid

was to let them go ahead and publish

the terms were impossible. Reid then
demanded what the terms were.
Now remember, Wally," said the at
torney, I've advised you not TO have

The story is that Wally paid in full,

This would end blackmail, but so far
there has been no evidence that this
