POLITICAL DEFENDANT
APOLOGIES IN RHYME

CHICAGO-Fined SO for being
drunk and allowed time to pay,
Carl Y. Schieren sent the money
10 court some days after it was
due with the following verses:
Pm writing just to let you know
/ should have paid some time ago.
But on my honor | can state
For this ten bucks / had to wait.
Now, when / need the money most,
There's always friction in the post.
Believe me when / say in rhyme
I'd rather pay than do the time.
The cost of living's my excuse,
So breach of trust there's no
abuse.

 HITTING MARKET
Extreme Declines From One to
 Six Points

New York. Oct, II Op)-The stock market today was subjected to an- other severe selling movement, as pear traders renedew their attacks upon prominent industrial shares and forced liquidation took place in many sections of the list. Extreme declines Of one 10 six points were re- corded before signs of resistance ap- peared. Trading was of an extreme ly nervous character throughout.
 Widespread discussion Of the pos sible adverse effects upon general business Of the collapse in cotton prices was one of the chief weapons used by spectators for the decline in Hammering stocks. Fears of 6 contraction in credit facilities also were expressed as call money held to five per cent, in the face Of larg- CT surplus reserves reported by the New York banks.
 Announcements of further cuts in automobile prices unsettled some of the motor shares and various food, public utility, equipment, tobacco and amusement issues were unload ed in large volume.
 Support which was extended to Woolworth and Continental Baking A steadied the market somewhat in the early afternoon.

TEXAS BOUNDARY
 DECISION GIVEN
Lone Star State Wins in Part in
 Oklahoma Controversy

Washington. Oct. Il R-Texas won in part in the supreme court today in its boundary controversy with Oklahoma over the location of the state line north from the Red River along the eastern side Of the Panhandle.
 The court held that the present boundary located by A. H. Jones and H. NJ. C, Brown In 1859 and retraced by John H. Clark in 1860, could not be recognized.
 The court also rejected, however. the contention of Texas that the in. tersection of the tooth Meridian and the Red River marked in 1903 by Arthur D. Kidder. constituted the proper boundary.
 A new survey was ordered by the court to determine where the line should fall. This had been suggested by Texas as an alternative.
 Texas had asserted that 25.ooo acres of land, now under the jur- isdiction of Oklahoma, properly be. long within Texas borders.
 Oklahoma, in opposing change t present line, emphasized that practically al lthe land in the strip had been patented by the federal government to homesteaders, and that it had received 2,SSS acres for school purposes, while eS0 acres had been given its state university.
 The opinion of the higher court. rendered by Justice Sanford. de- clared that the contention of neither Texas nor Oklahoma could be ac- cepted. It held that the true boundary was the actual location upon the ground of the tooth meredian, and directed that the commissioners be appointed to To- cate it.
 Texas and Oklahoma were given 30 days in which to submit a form of decree to give effect to the dici- sion.
