Sunday dawned bright over the
death-stricken community. The task
of burying the hundreds of dead,
started Saturday continued through
out the day.
Residents observed the day of
mourning set aside by Governor ALL
red with this prayer:
"Let us all enter into the house of
the Lord today; let us pray for those
dear children and their teachers, Let
us entreat the Lord to bless those
who mourn, to comfort the broken
hearts of families and friends"
Work in the oil fields Jagged. Ma
jor company officials assured their
employees it would be quite all

any work until the dead had been
buried and Observation-Disclosures by
from one to five members in the
disaster-adjusted.
Flower banked caskets moved
from homes to graves as Sabbath
quiet enveloped the derricked Sec
ton. Ministers, there from all Sec
tions of east Texas, intoned tributes
over grave after grave.
No mass burials, were held.
Twelve caskets lined in front of the
old London Baptist pulpit Sunday
afternoon marked the largest burial.
Some parents still made weary
round of east Texas funeral homes
in search of a few children never
found-believed by officials to have
been blown to bits.
Still unidentified were about five
or six, as closely as it could be
check. Burned clothing, torn fea
lures and mangled Identification
marks made the grim task difficult.

GOVERNOR OK's. BILLS
 LIQUOR LAW IS PASSED Continued from Page One)

559S, c. l.. A. providing that within 20 days after allowance of appeal the appellant must file with Clerk of District Court transcript of cause containing copy of all mater ial entries in Justices docket relat- ing to cause or appeal, and must have all original papers annexed.
 Gold Tax
 Among the mony other bills pass ed by both houses were the highly controversial Brunelle old Tax meas ure and the Rivers Liquor Bill. The Brunelle bill was fought by the min. ing interests and those who objected to the percent tax on the gross output of gold and platinum. It is figured that this tax will raise ap. proximately $6OO,OO0 a year for the Territory. For the mining companies it means tax of about a dollar per ounce on gold.
 Rivers Liquor Bill
 The much contested Rivers Liquor bill which finally won out offers no radical change from the present set up except that it provides for stricter enforcement, the issuing of licenses by district judges and the appointment of four to six licensing officers in the Territory. The Ander- son Sanitation bill which is one of the most important pieces of legis- lation considered had passed the House and was up for revision in the Senate. The Legislature cut the ap- propriation for a new school at Douglas from $35,0O0 to $25,0O0. Douglas carried $1O,OOO insurance on the school and it is apnlned to get a PWA grant. Douglas was giv- en special grant of $15,00O by the Legislature immediately following the fire.
 Vocational Work Stops
 The Territorial Vocational pro- gram will end June 30 1887, as re- commended by the Territorial Board of Education. A. E. Schoettler and Miss Esther Morris who have charge of the work have been highly com mended for what they have accom- plished but it was generally felt that results were not commensurate with the costs involved. A number of pro- tests against the discontinuance of the Vocational work were sent from here.
 The regular session of the Legis- lature ended last night at midnight and the extraordinary session which has been approved will follow shodt- ly for the consideration of Social Security measures.
