CLAIMANT APPEALS
Asserted Heir to Snuff Millions

Asserted Heir to Snuff Millions
Gives Hope to Other Kin.
PHILADELPHIA, September 6
RD.-An appeal to the Supreme
Court gave new hope to 1877 persons
who claim relationship with the late
Walter Garrett and desire to share
his celebrated snuff fortune.
Robert F. Garrett, who claims to be
a cousin, yesterday appealed the rul-
ing Of the Orphans Court which
threw out claims of CARROTS rela-
tives on the grounds that his widow,
Henrietta, received the fortune out
right.
The 1877 Garrett claimants held
that she held merely a life interest
and died intestate as far as the un-
bequeathed balance was concerned.
This balance" mounted to $780,
600 before the widows death in 1880.
About 5000 persons claim relation
ship with the widow.

What The
Legislature
Is Doing

AUSTIN, April rs. OP-rhe Tex
as House OF Representatives
Thursday adopted, rs to 90 the
conference committee report on a
bill TO appropriate state funds for
a Texas Centennial celebration.
Senate adoption Of the report
would send the bill to the COVER
nor for signature. II was believed
likely the senate would approve ii
with little delay following the
house action which came as a sur
prise TO many.
The conference report was pre-
Sented to the house by Represen-
tative George Butler of Bryan. On
two previous occasions the house
had all but killed the bill.
The vote was preceded by only
slight. mild debate. A motion to
reject the report was tabled 81
to So.
The bill would appropriate ST.
100000 for buildings at the main
centennial site at Dallas and an
additional 100000 for equipment;
$250.000 for a memorial and OBJ
servance 1t tho Alamo at San An
tonic and a like amount for similar
purposes at San Jacinto battle
field, SOS. 900 for equipment for a
World War museum sponsored by
the American Legion on the Uni
verSity OF Texas campus: S500.000
for publicity and advertising and
$575.000 for o~bServances and mem
orials at various places prom
inent in Texas history.
A brief furry in the senate over
prohibition brought hot words
from Senator Weaver Moore , Of
Houston. repeal chieftain. and
Senator Joe Hill Of Henderson. a
dry leader.
The argument developed from
house action in proposing sub
mission at a special election next
August "a Of a constitutional
amendment to abolish the fee sys-
tenn Of compensating county Off
GERS. II has been proposed that re-
peal of statewide prohibition be
voted on at the special election.
Moore asserted submission Of
other amendments at the special
election would confuse the electoT-
ate and make the ballot look
like a Chinese puzzle" Moore said
the change appeared 10 be an
other movement TO defeat repeal.
The senate continued its debate
on a bill to halt gas waStage in
the Texas Panhandle.
The house finally passed. with
amendments. a holly contested
senate bill 10 tighten restrictions
on the dental profession. House
opponents lost a bitter fight to re-
move a provision prohibiting
newspaper advertising other than
insertion OF professional cards.
A bill to establish a state board
to regulate hair dreSSers and cos
metologists was sent to the gov
ernor when the house concurred
in senate amendments.
Representative Harry N. Graves
Of Georgetown. arch foe of horse
race wagering. gave notice he
would seek action Friday on a bill
TO outlaw race track betting.
Resolutions were introduced In

The price ranges from SIS TO $40

Officials OF the Southland Life
and American company, on whose
land the well is located, quickly took
their land off the market pending
a check OF the extent OF the pool.
N. p. Barton, president OF the
Hidalgo County bank, said the well
has resulted In booming Mercedes,
and that this section Is certain TO
grow with a fine oil field near IL.
Both he and Saladino said geo
logists believe this Is one OF the
largest and best oil fields In the
United States" expressing belief
that II covers a wide area
Barton also estimated hat no
less than 100 lease transactions have
been made. Many nonresident
landowners are writing down asking
