The matters that I had brought
up were public questions which had
to do with the common good. There
was a question of internal Army
discipline to be taken into account,
to be sure, and without question
this should have been done. The

however. on g scale Of 100 per cent,
was about 95 per cent public ques-

The departments saw they were
up against it and, look as they

no matter what they did. They
made a faltering decision. as il

In their attempt to make the court

1925 POLL TAX
PAYMENTS
DECREASE
Two Offices Will Be Open
Sunday in Effort to
Set High Mark.

l. With the close of business late
Saturday night poll tax payments for
1926 totalled 40.113, according to
figures compiled in the office Of
County Tax Collector R. Neil Camp
bell. -, -.
The total did not include many
payments that were made at the sub
stations during the day and had not
been tabulated. These, it is believed,
will bring the total to about $4,000.
There were approximately 5000 polls
paid during the day, setting a high
record for this year but not equaling
the peak day for 1925.
At the close of business on Janu-
airy 30. 1925, there had been only
AZ, 600 polls paid but the last day
of the month fell on Saturday, when
slightly more than 5000 were paid.
As the last day Of this year falls on
Sunday it is not believed that record
will be equaled. 92S-
Collector Campbell's office at the
courthouse and the station at
Commerce and Soledad streets will
be open all day Sunday until mid
night January 81, for. the convenience
of those who have been unable TO
pay their tax previously, or have
neglected to do so.N
at looks like poll tax payments
this year will fall far short of those
last year." Mr.. Campbell said late
Saturday. However, if there is an
unusually heavy run Sunday we may
yet reach the 50.OOO-mark. 1t is
extremely unlikely that the 1926
payments will exceed that number.
Extra clerks will be on duty all
day Sunday at both the main office
and the sub-station. With the as
slstance of the regular office force,
it is believed they will be able to
take care of the anticipated last day
rush.
I'VE are not required by law to
open at all Sunday, but we are do
ing so for the convenience Of the
voters Mr.. Campbell said.

Banks Lead to Rescue OF
Master and Mistress
From Asphyxiation.'

Major Rover" may not lay claim to
>patrician ancestors but he's strutting
his stuff among the canine popula-
ton out on Delflor Way. With a dis
dainful air he marches proudly up and
down the block while the less distin-
guished dogs sit on their launches and
snarl their disapproval.
Major Rover" is hero. His own
ers, Patrolman and Mrs. V, A .Trainor,
will testify to this fact. Their appre-
citation has taken a more substantial
form. too-juick steaks.
Until last Wednesday Major Rover"
was just an ordinary dog. albeit a
prize pet of the Trainors. He was an
indispensable member of the household
but had never been called upon to
prove his devotion.
But at dawn Thursday morning his
chance came. Mr. and Mrs. Trainor
were sleeping fitfully. Uneasy dreams
fitted through their minds. A warn
ing to awake and an overpowering
drowsiness struggled for mastery.
Major Rover" outside, suddenly
felt uneasy. His canine instinct told
him something was wrong. He stirred
restlessly and shifted the air. Maybe
his nostrils scented the odor of es-
Gaping gas. Perhaps it was just in
stinct that warned him.
But he was spurred to action. He
whined and scratched on the door.
There was no response from his sleep
ing master Then he rushed to a
window. whined and barked again.
Neighbors saw his peculiar antics.
But his efforts were rewarded. Pa
trolman Trainor heard his whine
family at first. then more clearly. BY
supreme effort he shook off the
drowsiness.
Gas was his first exclamation. as
he leaped from bed. Mrs. Trainor
awakened at the same time.
The control of the heater had been
turned too far and the room was filled
with gas. An hour more and it might
have been eternal oblivion.
But major Rover" had come to
their rescne. And now he is a hero.

Mr.. and Mrs. Canaday separated
more than two years ago. The chill
dren were with their mother in San
Antonio while Cansday remained in
New York.
Early last year as the grandmoth-
er was returning with the two chill
dren from church entertainment,
an automobile drove up, a man alight-
ed and despite the screams Of the
grandmother, snatched little Roscoe
up and sped away.
Subsequently Canaday was indict-
ed by Bexar county grand jury on
a kidnapping charge and Mr.. Linden
went to New York, armed with an
extradition warrant, to bring Cana
day back. Itewas honored by the
New York governor but Csnaday
later was freed by a New York
judge on the ruling that a father
could not kidnap his own child.
Shortly thereafter little Roscoe
was taken from his paternal grand
mothers home on Long Island. Later
be and his mother appeared in San
Antonio. Then came the Queens
county indictment against Mrs. Cana
day. Mrs. Canaday surrendered but
was released on her own recognizance
BY q Bexar county justice.
But Queens county officer short
~ afterward appeared in Austin with
a reQuisition for an extradition war

attorney, demanded a hearing. And

Great strides in the development of

He first became interested in aviation
when be met the American sround-the-

now owns three airplanes which he

Mr.. Mcdaniel attributes the ma
