They planned probably to take off

To this settlement come also the

HOME FOR AGED
COSTS S22,705
County to Raise Amount
With Bond Issue.

Cost of a temporary dormitory
which commissioners will construct
to relieve overcrowded conditions at
the Marion county poor farm was
estimated at $22,785 today by DON
aid Graham, architect.
County commissioners will raise
this amount with a bond issue.
Harry Dunn, county auditor, stated.
The new structure will provide
room for $50 beds for aged inmates
now CHARTERED in Railways, on straw
beds and within exceedingly over
crowded rooms of the mems build
ing.
Plans which Graham will have
ready this week await approval of
the state fire marshal and the state
board of charities.
Commissioner George Snider de-
clared original plans had been al
tered to wipe out all possible fire
hazards and meet the approval of
Alfred M. Hogston, state fire mari
shall, who objected to construction
of new frame dor1nitory in close
proximity to other decrepit build
ings at the farm.
Largest number of inmates ever
care for by the county is expected at
the infrmary this coming winter,
according to Dunn. More than 500
aged folk are at the farm this
summer.
Razing Of a dilapidated, f1ve-story
building at the farm will require
81 900 of $22,785.

CLOSED BY TROOPS
Martial Law Is Proclaimed
in Sealing Up Great
Flush Field.
By United Press


AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 17.-Ross
Sterling, Governor Of Texas, today
proclaimed martial law in the great
East Texas flush field.
He ordered every well, both oil
and gas, within the boundaries of
Upshu, Rusk, Gregg and Smith
counties shut down, and directed
state militia, sent into the area dur
ing the night, to enforce his order.
More than 1900 well are affected
by the order. Last week these wells,
in the face of plea for a voluntary
shutdown, produced $4,000 barrels
Of oil daily, to set an all-tin1e rec
ord. Only one field in the world,
the Kettleman Hills field in Cali
fornia, possesses a greater potential
production.
Asserting that he was invoking
martial law to prevent waste and
to put down state of instruction.
tumult, riot and breach of peace in
the fields. Governor Sterling Joined
forces with Governor w. H. Murray
Of Oklahoma in a battle against pre-
Vailing low crude prices.
The reaction to the move is eX-
pected generally to be a drastic up
ward revision Of prices, probably to
81 a barrel, the price demanded by
Governor Murray when he pro-
claimed martial law few days ago
in every flush field in Oklahoma.
The action of the Texas governor
was not unexpected. Saturday he
began the mastering of state troops,
and Sunday he ordered them into
the fields. Producers repeatedly
had petitioned him to place a clamp
upon the wells.
