BAILEY'S LIFE AT
CAPITOL REVIEWED

WASHINGTON, April 13.-CE1-
For nearly a quarter of a century,
joseph Weldon Bailey who died to-
day at Sherman, Texas, represented
the Lone Star state in congress
ten wears in the house and THU
teen years in the senate. His ca
reer in national politics ended when
he resigned on Jan. 3, 1918, after
he had been criticized for acting as
an attorney for Standard OIL COM
pany interests.
Mr.. Bailey was regarded as one
Of the leading constitutional law
yers in congress and believed in
the strict Interpretation Of the
constitution, frequently declaring
that he had no patience with mod
ern innovations and nostrums pro-
posed as notifications OF that
document. He also at one time
during his senate career attacked
the initiative and referendum, re-
ferring to them as "un-Amerlcan.
undemocratic, unrepublican and
unconstitutional policies"
He predicated his valedictory
speech in the senate on these poll
cies and spoke for four hours, while
nearly every senator remained in
his seat and the galleries were
packed. In his speech he cited the
great men of the early history OF
the nation as witnesses to the logic
Of his argument that these policies
were a departure from the funda-
mental principles on which the re-
public was built.
When William Jennings Bryan
returned from his trip around the
world, Bailey went to meet him in
New York, but after the Commoner
gave out an interview that he fav-
ored government ownership Of rail-
roads the Texan left New York
without even seeing Bryan. Bailey
considered the statement ~socialistic
and Immediately afterward with
drew from active participation in
democratic national politics while
Bryan was in control.

were believed to have brought about
his elimination from state politics.
Hundreds of Great Friends
For the last eight years, as he
had for the preceding eight, he de-
voted his time to the private prac-
tice of law, a son, Joseph Weldon
Bailey, Jr., being a member of his
firm.
Counting his friendships with the
nations great by the hundreds, that
Of his early political life with the
late William Jennings Bryan was
outstanding. In some quarters
Bailey was credited with having in
fluenced the great conmoner in the
formulation of some of his most
celebrated doctrines, among them
the Bryan metal doctrine.
Bailey was admitted to the bar
before he reached his majority and
as soon as he could vote plunged
into politics.
He was born in Copiah county.
Mississippi, Oct. 6, 1863, and gained
his lebal education at Cumberland,
University, Lebanon, Tenn. His first
political adventure was in 1884 when
he was chosen a democratic presi-
Dental elector for Georgia.
The next year he removed to the
Lone Star state, settling at Gaines
vile, near here, which remained his
home until a few years ago.
Brilliant Career
Four years later he again was Sc
lected a presidential elector, this
time for Texas, and then was well
on his way along a political career
that was climaxed with his recogni-
ton as leader of his party.
Elected first to the fifty-second
congress he was returned successfully
for four more terms, from 1891 to
1901. He then sought a seat in the
upper house and twice was success
full, in 1901 and 1907, resigning from
the senate in 1912 to return to
Texas.
The law suit In which MI. Bailey
was appearing was that in which
the state is suing the Red River
Bridge company to force d~iscontin-
uance of the collection of allegedly
excessive tolls.
The district court room was filled
to capacity today, the crowd at
tracted more possibly by the pres
ence Of the great orator than by the
case at issue. The former senator
had been animated and to some de-
gree ocular in talking with friends
during the morning session.
He just had replied to a legal
argument Of r. M. Tilley, assistant
attorney general for Texas, when
death overwhelmed him.
All Texas Grieved
Nj. Tilley had sought to show
that the Bailey position in the case
was opposed to the position Mr..
Bailey had assumed in a recent
hearing at Washington.
The former senator had conclud-
ed his reply and was sitting when
his head dropped, he leaned back
and expired with a single gasp.
The first relative reached with
news of his death, was the former
senator's name-sake son, who was
at Durant, Okla. Bailey. Jr., i'm
mediately came here to prepare for
removal of the body.
The news Of Mr.. Bailey's death
shocked Dallas, his last home: Aus
tin. the state capitol, and Gaines
vile. where the body Of his first
wife was buried.
Surviving in addition to two sons
Of his first marriage, is the second
Mrs. Bailey, the former Mrs. Pru-
dence Rosengren Of Austin. Texas,
whom he married Dec. 81, 1927. Re-
puted wealthy. Mrs. Rosengren was
a member Of a pioneer Central Tex
as family.

1dmgle OF Wood Case

DETROIT, July 12.-P)-All the
tangled phases of what has come to
be known in Detroit Is "the Wood
case" vii be re-tt in circuit court
here when Mrs. Grace M. Woods
faces trial on a charge Of assault
with intent to kill her husband,
Ralph A. Wood, well known builder
and contractor.
With Mrs. Wood will be William
Thompson and Taylor Pierce, whom
she is accused of having hired to
STAY Wood that she might collect
$4,000 insurance before he could
divorce her. Although no date has
been set, it is expected the case will
be called during the July term.
The principal witness for the
prosecution will be Cecil w. Holt,
an accountant. His story that Mrs.
Wood engaged him and three others
to kill Wood was the first OF a Sc
ries of charges and counter charges
that surrounded the case with so
many involved off-shoots that by
common consent it became known
as "the Wood case" in the interest
of brevity.
The prolog to the drama was en-
acted in Wyandotte, a Detroit sub
urb. the night of January 8, last.
! Eighteen law enforcement officers,
acting upon information sepplled by
| Holt. gathered about Woods real
estate office to await arrival OF the
alleged ploeters. Holt had said ne
took part in the conspiracy to OBJ
tain evidence against Mrs. Wood.
Holt. Thompson, Pierce and AM
brose L. Hagerty drove to the otflce.
Hagerty and Holt went to the door
while Thompson and Pierce re-
NAMED in the car. Holt said the
plan was to black jack Wood, take
| him for a ride" and kill him.
Wood had arranged with officers
to submit to the black lacking and
had padded the inside of his hat to
prevent injury. The alleged plot
tiers were arrested after they had
carried Wood to their waiting auto
mobile.
When Wood came out of his Of
flee, however. he Immediately open
ed fire on Haggerty, who was killed
instantly. Thompson and Pierce
escaped amid a fusillade of bullets
from the officers weapons, but were
arrested in their homes the same
night. Mrs. Wood was found at
home in bed and arrested.
Mrs. Wood denied any intention
against her husbands life and de-
clared the visit of the real estate
office involved only an attempt to
obtain papers from Woods office
safe. These papers. she said her
husband had informed her, would
ruin her"
Mrs. Wood spent four days in jail
before obtaining her release on bond
and soon afterward she brought
about the arrest of her husband and
Holt on charges of robbing a bank
at Sturgis. Mich. The two men were
taken to Sturgis and held there for
some time, to be released just be-
fore arraignment. They presented
perfect alibis showing they were in
Detroit at the time Of the bank
hold-up.
A grand Jury investigation into
the death of Hagerty was held to
determine whether a crime was
committed when he was slain. The
results of the inquiry have not been
| announced.

PALACE RENT
Low In TURKEY
Modern Apartments Are
More In Demand
By Turks

CONSTANTINOPLE, July H.
P)-Palaces have become cheaper
to rent than apartments in Tur-
key. Spacious abandoned summer
palaces. set amidst vast gardens
along the Asiatis shore of the Bos-
phorus, where Turkish pashas and
princes Of the old regime once lived
al Arabian Nights glory, are now
renting for five or ten dollars a
month with few takers.
The modern stylish Turk prefers
the new apartment houses Of the
European quarter of Pera to the
Wandering wooden mansions of his
forefathers, and the middle-class
ConstantinopolitaL5 cannot afford
to furnish these vast relics of the
old days, even though they may be
rented for a song.
Such is the state of dilapidation
of these once palatial wooden
'yaliS' and "kioSks'' along the
Asiatic shore that the phenomenal
storms of the past winter brought
more than a hundred to total ruin.
1t is estimated that twenty years
from now not one will remain.
Alone in its white splendor, the
palace of Beyler Bey, where En-
press Eugene paid her spectacular
visits to the sultan of the Ottoman
Empire, is kept in repair by the
republican government in readiness
for the summer visits of President
Renal. The Ghazi makes Dolma

RAIN DAMAGES
COTTON CROP
Picking AT Standstill AS
Result Of Downpour
In Valley Area
(snecial to The Heraldl

HARLINGEN, July 12.-Cotton
picking has practically come to a
~standstill, and considerable more
damage done to the cotton crop as a
result of rains which fell over the
Valley section Wednesday and
Thursday.
Heavy showers fell Wednesday in
some sections, and a heavy rain fell
here Tuesday.
The general drizzle which started
in this section Thursday morning
had grown to a downpour in the
afternoon.
The rains have stopped picking
in most Valley sections, and ginners
said there would be considerable
damage to the cotton. Some Of it
will be washed onto the ground, and
hence ruined. and the rain also will
make the weevil worse.
One bright spot In the situation
was pointed out here. in that the
rain will be of great benefit in put
ting soil IN shape for fall planting.
1t will also help the citrus crop,
which was in need of rain.
