CA. CULBERSON,
EX-SENATOR,
DIES At 70
Short illness Of Pneumonia
Proves Fatal to Former
Scion From Texas

Former Senator Charles A. Gull
berson Of Texas. died at his home.
2400 Sixteenth street, this morning
after a short illness Of pneumonia.
Senator Culberson was in his
SEVENTEEN year. He retired from
the Senate two years ago, having
been defeated in the Texas primar-
les by Senator Earle B. Mayfield.
Funeral arrangements will not be
completed until the arrival in Wash
ington OF his daughter. Miss Mary
Culberson. his brother, Robert H.
Culberson. of Houston, and his
brother-in-law. James Harrison, OF
Forth Worth. All are now on their
way here.
The late Senator Culberson took
pride in the fact that he was a
CONGRESSMAN from Texas for TWEEN
ty.two consecutive years before he
was elevated to the Senate. In
the upper body of Congress, Sena-
tor Culberson served four consecu-
tive terms, beginning in 1899 and
running through 1928.
Friend Of Colonel House.
He carved for himself a niche in
the hall of fame when he wrote a
section into the Clayton antitrust
law declaring that human labor is
not a commodity"
During the world war. as chair
man of the important Senate Com
mittee on Judiciary he had a hand
in all of the war measures which
went through the committee.
AS evidence of his personal
courage, 1t will be remembered that
he bitterly opposed the selling of
the Isthmus of Panama from Co
lonbia by President Roosevelt, and
even threatened to initiate impeach-
ment proceedings against Roose-
Welt on account Of the President
act.
The late Senator Culberson was
an intimate friend Of Colonel E. M.
House, the latter having managed
his first Congressional campaign in
Texas. Both Senator Culberson and
Colonel House were the two
figures responsible for the political
fortunes of the late Woodrow Will
son.
1t was always said that Senator
CuIberson would have been nomi-
mated and elected President Of the
United States in 1904 had it not
been for the fact he was from a
Democratic State.
Devoted to His Duties.
For four years he was governor
of Texas and for the same period
he was Attorney General.
Despite his failing health during
his last six years, Senator Culbec-
son never failed to go to his office
and sit at the sessions. Even the
day of the Knickerbocker. disaster
when the the city was buried In
anow, he was at his desk a. usual.

learned that Thomas B. Richards,
the sartorially perfect young

The attention of the Washing

of Lockhart, who recently purchased
the old Kanz ranch north of: New

for a game refuge, have decided to de-
vote a large part of the best land to

More than 80 soft-shell pecan trees

their intention of Increasing the num-
Der until there will be fine pecan
trees all over the 200 acres. 1t is
planned now to set out 100 fig trees

BOND ISSUE

CRYSTAL CITY, Tex, Nov. A.
Zavala County commissioners court
recently met in Batesville and at the
petition of strong delegation from
Crystal City and Cometa the com
misioners of precinct No. 2 agreed to
issue bridge bonds for the purpose of
repairing the swinging bridge each
of Anona on the Nueces river and
also for repairing bad stretches in
the road between Crystal City and
Cometa.
After court adjourned representa-
tives from Crystal City went to
Uvalde in interest Of the south ex-
tension of Highway No. 50, which
was designated az the last meeting
of the state highway commission.
Delegates from all communities
through which the highway will pass
were present and all are eager TO
push the work towards completion as,
rapidly as possible.
The chambers Of commerce In the
various towns of Zavala, Dimmitt,
Uvalde and Webb counties were urged
to prepare their respective communi-
ties for a bond issue with as little
delay as possible.
The good roads movement has been
paramount in the minds of the lead
ers of public affairs in Crystal City
for several months and it is believed
that a bond issue can be put over
without any trouble as the road build
ing campaign will fit in nicely with
the other vast improvements that are
continually being made in Crystal
City and vicinity.

BUILDING GAINS.

in expressing labor's view Of the
wage question in the convention,
President George f. Hedrick Of the
building trades department, declared
that the prevailing high wage scales
had not retarded the volume Of build
ing or resulted In any material in
crease in the average cost Of con
struction. Unanimous approval was
then given his recommendation that
the unions coordinate and strengthen
their efforts TO maintain all advan-
tages gained during the present period
OF building prosperity.
Peaceful adjustment Of wage dis
putes was urged by the convention.
Contractors were reported to have de-
elared against higher wage rates, but
generally showing a disposition to CO.
operate with the building trades in an
effort to peacefully adjust wage dis
putes.
Except for possible jurisdictional
strikes there is little indication that
the building industry will be seriously
affected by labor troubles during the
next few months. The open shop aues-
ton looms in some localities, but no
serious disturbance TO building is ex-
pected
