Wife Seeks Habeas Corpus

San Augustine. Tex, Jan. 6.--Evi.
dence has been discovered by the
Houston Post, according to a copy.
righted article 1t published today, that
Hiram Knox, wealthy lumberman, had
conveyed, five days before his death
the residue of his property to his wife
who Is charged with his murder The
deed was signed before Otto Hochuli
of Houston, notary public, and was
filed for record in San Augustine, No
vember 22.
The deed transfers from Hiram
Knox to Mrs. Lillian Knox all of his
property in Texas. 1t also conveys to
her all PERSONAL property of what
ever nature and mixed property in
Texas and elsewhere.
The deed explains the. story as
serts, that one-half Of this property
already had been conveyed to Mrs.
Knox and STIMULATES that the present
document intends to convey the re-
nainder of 1t.
No figures as to the value of the

veyed property worth upwards of 3d.
100000.
The deed is voluminous docu-
ment and lists in detail the great

only consideration mentioned was

States attorneys intimated that
%
the deed. It has been stated during
the hearing the handwriting of Mr..
and Mrs. Knox is so much alike that
only those very familiar with both
are able to tell them apart. The state
was expected to make use of this in
formation in attempting to show that
letters found on the body of the slain
man were forgeries.
Ask Habeas Corpus.
Attorneys for Mrs. Knox were ready
today to go before the district court
here with a demand through habeas
corpus proceedings for the uncondi-
tional release of their client. They
declared that discovery of the deed
removed all motive for the alleged
crime.
The hearing of Mrs. Knox shifted
from the Hemphill Justices court to
the district court here yesterday after
the widows attorneys had refused to
make the $4,000 bond set for their
client by the justice Of the peace
habeas corpus proceedings were
brought in the district court. The de-
tense claimed telling victory when
Judge A. V. Stark after perusing
of the evidence taken in the

Goodwin Explains Purpose
i. Clayton Goodwin. chairman OF
the school committee. was then called
upon 10 explain the conditions as they
now exist In the public schools of
New Britain. He said that the money
will be expended for the purchase OF
land and tho erection OF two new
buildings and additions TO several
others. There VIII be total OF ~
school rooms built which will accom-
modate about 1900 students, the
speaker explained.
Mr.. Goodwin stated that there are
about 1000 children attending school
Oh the half time schedule and at the
opening OF school next fall there Will
at least be about 1900. He also stat
ed that because the city has adopted
the plan of having Junior High as
well as Senior High school more stu
dents remain In school for longer
length of time.
Mr.. Mcmahon Is Worried.
p. S. Mcmahon seemed to be more
worried about the use of the old
Elihu Burritt school and whether or
not the city could dispose OF the
the property than he was in the issu-
ance of the $625,000 in school bonds,
Several times he asked Mr.. Goodwin
how many pupils were being housed
in the Elihu Burritt school and each |
time was referred to S. II. Holmes
who told him that the school was
used as vocational building for the
Elihu Burritt Junior High school on
North street and contained ma
chine room, an electrical room,
sewing room and other such rooms
as are necessary.
Mr. Mcmahon claimed that the old
school was situated on a valuable
piece of property and he believed
that the city should sell 1t. Mr.. Nc
Mahon's question as to whether or
not the city had the right to sell the
was not answered.
Mr.. McMahon's Wit Crops Out.
The arguments were again pro-
onged when Mr.. Mcmahon asked
Mr.. Goodwin when the new Washing
ton school would be opened. He was
told that because of the many delays
The school would probably not be
ready for school purposes until Sep
,ember although the contract called

of Labor Policy
CONTINUED from page y

Labor s policy is significant for
its conception of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. It en-
visions life not limited by the
mere necessities of physical exis-
tencc. 1t demands a living standard
much higher than is contained in
"cost of living wages.
1t insists that Labor shall have
an equitable share of the wealth in
which Labor's own life energies
the essential clements. Labor s po-
Icy demands a life unblemished
with constant worries over threat
ened economic insecurity in Il
country overflowing with actual
and potential wealth.
Labor's policy stands for liberty
in the broadest meaning of the
term.
Political liberty-libertv to de
termine freely our political rela-
tions and institutions by the sover-
eighty of the ballot under demo,
cratic representative government.
Industrial liberty--liberty freely to
negotiate industrial relations with
out compulsion from any source.
Liberty to strike; for the bedrock
of industrial liberty is the right to
quit work. The rights to life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness
becomes academic mouthings' when
the right to quit work is impaired.
Labor's policy expresses Labor IS
faith in our workers. Faith in their
ability to demonstrate that within
the fields of representative political
and industrial democracy, organized
Labor is the advance guard of the
masses, driving it's way straight
ahead of Labor's objective, and
striking down the barriers of reac-
tion, greed and tyranny wherever
found and by whomsoever plant
ed.
Proud of its achievements, firm
in its determination, sure of its
success, American Labor celebrates
Labor Day, 1923, with joy and con
fidence and earnestly invites all
those who have faith in American
institutions to join in the celebra-
tion.
