PROPOSAL
AUSTIN, Feb. 25. M1)—1The pro-
posed $200,000,000 state highway I
brnil issue survived its first test I
tcclay when tha senate constitution- i
rJ amendments committee voted
five to two to give it u favorable >
report.
The bond issue was one of the
thief planks In Governor Sterling's I
platform in his first campaign last!
summer.
Tlie resolution reported favorably
by the senate committee was one
agreed upon by the various bond
issue proponents. Under its terms
$100,000,000 or as much thereof as
necessary would go to the counties
lor the amounts they have spent
cn state reads, and the remainder
would be used for construction. Not
more than $20,000,000 in construc-
tion bonds could be authorized b.v
the legislature In any one year.
Killed Before
SLnatci' Pany~who voted for «
. avorable report today, voted against
the proposal two years ago when
It was killed in the nouse by u
few votes after passing the senate
by the necessary two thirds ma-
jority.
Hie resolution would be submitt-
ed to a vote of the i>eople Novem-
ber 3.
The committee action on the
bond issue was not important
enough to overshadow other activi-
ties In th«f legislature today. The
house killed the race horse bill and
the senate finally rejected Prank
Baldwin,, outspoken Waco newspa
per editor, who had been name;!
u member cf the beard of educa-
tion by former Governor Dan
Moody.
The vote cn the race horse bill
cume cn u motion to print on the
minority report, which was tabled,
65 to 58. Proponents of the bill
criticized its opponents, claiming
they had meant to offer amend-
ments removing some of the objec-
tionable features but the bill's op-
ponents would net let them do so.
Much Opposed
The race horse bill would have
legalized racing In Texas under n
contribution system. It was vigor-
ously opposed by many ministers
and church organizations.
Baldwin's appointment had been
sent to the senate for conf'rnwtlon
incre than a month ago but action
had been deferred. He had been
eppesrd In a public hearing several
weeks ago. The senate committee
on governor's nominations recom-
mended his rejection and the sen-
ate followed that recommendation
In executive session.
Pass Kidnap Bill
The senate unanimously passed
the house bill making kidnaping a
capital offense after amending it
so the death penalty could not bo
assessed if the kidnaping victim
should be returned without injury.
The minimum sentence would bo
five years. The bill was introduced
by Representative Petsch of Fred-
ericksburg. The senate ulso passed
the house bill offered by Represen-
tative'De Wolfe of OoldthwtTb,
making It a feUny to threaten one's
life.

bock to Rahway to Frazer's moth-
er's horn.?, leaving the robe-covered

Jensen went to sleep and when

gone, but there was a note asking
him to get some money and take it
to a hotel In Raleigh.
Jensen got the money and tool:
it to Raleigh last Friday.

way and told his story to police.

PIONEER STONEWALL MAN KILLED
ASPERMONT, Tex., Feb. 25. </ >)-•
Sam Tanner, 58; pioneer of stone-
wall county and onu of the most
widely known characters of West
Texas, was shot dead this after-
noon on hia farm 18 miles south-
west or Aspermont.
A former tenant or Tanner's Is
sought tonight in a rherlff's drag-
net covering every county west of
Stonewall and across the New Mex-
ico border. After the shooting a
man left the Tanner place In a
Whippet coupe, 1038 model. The
car was reglsterad in Fisher coun-
ty and has highway number DO-
2837.
Killing of Tanner occured as he
rtcod in his hogpen, several hun-
dred yards from his house. The
locality is ln the shadow of Double
Mountain and In the .«me vicinity
where the B. C. Cochrane "empty
grave" case originated In l#20. There
were no witnesses. Sidney Tanner,
son of Sam Tanner, was working
ln a nearby field and heard a shot.
He looket'rtp to see a man leaving
and carrying a rifle.
The yourtger Tanner hurried to
the hogpen to find his lather lying
fate down, the top of ins head moon, Mrs. Allen said, he appeared
blown away. The hogs were mang
ling and tearing at the bod/ as
he arrived. Tanner hastened into
Aspermont and notified Bailey
Bingham, sheriff of Stonewall coun-
ty.
Bingham, after questioning Mrs.
P., ft. Allen, who lives on the Tan-
ner place, notified sheriffs of other
Weftt Texas counties to arrest the
susp#ct.
The former tenant, who had., nt
tlie past three months at wlliard.
New Mexico, returned to Aspermont
last week. At 3 o'clock this after.
at Tanner's, armed with a rifle,
asked for a drink of water and in-
quired who wos there. She told
him Tanner was at the hogpen.
He went In that direction, she said,
and ln a few minutes she heard
the rhot
man was of long standing. Tan-
ner had lived In Stonewall count/
40 years, and his 1,000-acre farm
U. cue of the finest In tills Bection.
In his early days he was an out-
standing citizen. Then there was
a period ln which he had trouble
with the law. For the past few
legs of the dead man; that WUaQn
borrowed Nisbet's car, and was gMW
an hour, and that when he calhe
back he said, '$ had hard lttck;M
scuffled with a man ovei* a gun and
had to smoke him.' No. The testi-
mony points not to Nisbet hut to
Wilson."
The courtroom was crowded
throughout the trial, which began
Monday morning. ■ ^
