RANKIN, Tex, December Graham
Barnett, Al years old, a former Texas
Ranger noted for his speed on the
draw was killed by Sheriff w c. Fowler
OF Upton County with a sub-machine
gun yesterday
The sheriff, who poured a stream Of
shots at the motor car of the victim
from a window of his own machine
tntimated a dispute over a financial
matter led to the shooting.
Barnett dropped dead without firing
any of the four weapons, including a
AS caliber automatic pistol, with which
he was armed. He had been a deputy
sheriff, town marshal and special Off
Ger as we'll as a ranger.
II had to DO it," Sheriff Fowler said
'It was either him or me He made
move for a gun"
Sheriff Fowler was charged with mur-
der and released under $4,000 bond.
The FL Paso Times quoted the sheriff
as saying Barnett who lived in Alpine.
Tex, had sought to obtain loan from
him Friday.
Il declined to advance Barnett the
money he requested Fowler said,
''and he became angry"
Tragedy on Main Street.
The shooting occurred on the main
street of this little village Barnett'S
car was parked at a filling station
Barnett's friends said the sheriff
stopped his car about 20 PAGES away.
Tony Hess, one of Barnett's COM
panions, said the sheriff called to him
to stand aside" Sheriff Fowler then
lowered window, thrust out the muzzle
of the machine gun and began shoot
ing, Hess said
Barnett, who is survived by his
widow and five children, made repu-
tation as a marksman in his youth. At

he was also in the death of Noisy"

and contrast to make them COM
pletely convincing. One expects
tremendous volume and insistent
rhythm in Chopin's "A Flat Pol
onaise." An audience will not take
the trouble to find a theme if it is
hidden in a maze of arpeggioS, as in
the first of the Concerto" nor to
ferret out the form of a compost
ton. as in Debussy's "Jardins Sous
la Pluie." These things should be
so evident to a listener that they
may be taken for granted and at

stract message which the music can
convey

Eleanor Colburn. Pianist,
Presented at Arts Club.

A PIANO recital with an interest
ing classical program was given
by Eleanor Colburn at the Arts Club
Saturday evening. Miss Colburn
was presented by Felian Garzia, who
played the second piano in the first
movement of the Schumann Con
oerto in A Minor" which concluded
the program.
Miss Colburn played from start to
finish with complete possession.
Her performances were uniformly
clear and straightforward. The high
moments were the Brahms &c
Minor Rhapsody" in the first group
Chopin's richly textured "Etude in
c Minor" in the second, and De-
bussy's La Cathedrale Engloutie'
in the third This last was played
with a feeling and imagination
which one missed inthe other num-
bers. The slow bass had a resonant
quality and the weird intonation of
bells in the soprano brought the
story Of the music vividly to mind.

 A baseball leader from his youth and one of the games outstanding figures when it attained the very heights of "big business" August c"Garry") Hermann will be re- membered best as the man w.,o developed into reality the idea of a baseball World series.
 Broad of vision in baseball mat ters and with a wholesome inter- est in the diamond sport, Herr mann saw the possibilities for in- creasing the popularity of base ball through an annual series for the worlds championship between the pennant winners of the Ma tional and American Leagues. He correctly visioned the future of such fixed event after the post season series between the Pitts burgh Pirates and the Boston Red Sox in 1903.
 Two Leagues Meet
 That series was more in the nature of an inter club affair and was the first big event in which the two leagues participated har- moniously after the settlement of the war, which the American League had waged against the parent organization.
 Among other things the peace treaty provided for the establish ment of the National Baseball Commission to consist of the pres idents of the two major leagues and a third member to be chair man MT. Hermann was chosen chairman upon the organization

The amendment re- commended by the Committee pro- 'vides that Title II of the Ma tional Prohibition Act be inserted and adopted as the Territorial dry act in order to give United States Commissioners jurisdiction over misdemeanor cases.
 The Committee also recommead- ed that the measure be made in- effective pending affirmative &C., tion by Congress This would de- lay matters at least until Con- gress convenes next December. In the interim, there would be no ne cessity for any legal battle over the right of the Legislature to enact such legislation.
 The Senate passed 12 House measures yesterday afternoon, and had several others on it's daily file today for consideration. It is cleaning up it's calendars each day so as to be ready for the gen. eral revenue and appropriations bills when they are received from the House next week.

LAWS, ARE REPEALED
 BY THE HOUSE
Both of Boyle's Repeal Bills Pass the House by Good
 Majorities

Two measures sponsored by Representative Boyle, Democrat, were passed by the House Friday afternoon to repeal the Territorial direct primary laws. The vote was iqs'to on one and >12 to on the second.
 The bills will reach the Senate today. It is expected it will act on them early next week
 The House passed bill appro- priating $500 for the Alaska Road Commission to defray the cost of survey of Ketehikan Creek and make plans for flood protection to property along that stream. Orig inally, the measure called for $20,000 for flood control. A me- morial asking Congress to con- solidate the Alaska Road Commis- sion and United States Bureau of Public Roads to save money al- legged now wasted in duplicate overhead and urging the extension of the Federal Highway Act under suitable provisions to the Terri tory was passed by the House by a vote of 10 to 6.
 School Bill Killed
 By a vote of nine to seven, the House passed a motion to indefin- itely postpone Shattuck's measure to re-organize the Department of Education by creating new ap- pointive commission empowered to appoint Commissioner of Educa- ton and have charge of the Ter ritory's educational policies.
 A motion was first made by MT, Johnston, Fairbanks, to make the proposed board elective by the Territorial Legislature. This was defeated by a one-sided vote. MT. Johnson, Ketchikan, then moved for indefinite postponement. Allyn, Boyle, Brosius, Burgh, Hellerich, Mcdonald and Ziegler voted against the motion.
 Continue 8-HOur Bill
 To determine the validity of the general eight-hour measure if can- ming and mining industries are excepted from it's provisions the House yesterday afternoon refer red that bill and proposed amend ments to the Attorney General for an opinion. MT. Brosius of- fered an amendment excepting canneries, and MT. Hellerich pro- posed an amendment to that to except all seasonal industries.
 It is not expected an opinion will be received before Monday In the meantime the House has con- tinued the measure in second reading.
 Table School Tax
 MT. Fosters bill to double the school poll tax, making it $1o in stead of s5, was tabled Friday by the House until next Tuesday. This action was taken over the protest of the author of the measure who demanded that the House vote then and there. How ever, he failed to achieve his ob- jective and the bill was continued to await the arrival of the gen. eral revenue measure when the House will decide if 1t is necessary to double the poll tax.
 The House passed Senator Bra gaw's bill authorizing the expendi- ture of s25,0O0 from the Third Di- visions road allotment to construct a road from Anchorage to Mat anuska It also passed a resolu- sion expressing appreciation to the
