Deputy State and County Tax Collector
Julius Maas said this morning that poll
tax collections are coming in much faster
this year than they have heretofore. He
said there were 10 poll tax receipts and
six or seven exemptions issued this morn-
ing, whereas on the corresponding date
last year only two or three people qualified
themselves as voters Mr. Maas attributes
the increase to a more general knowledge
now than then of the recent poll tax
quirement to the right of suffrage.

Man Enters Home in West End, But Is
Frightened Off.
Mr. William D. Glass, residing at 1108
37th street, reports an exciting experience
with an intruder who entered his home
last night. About 1 o’clock his wife was
awakened by a noise and saw
standing by the side of the bed.
Mrs. Glass attempted to give an outcry,
when the stranger grabbed her and at-
tempted to choke her. But the woman
was more than a match for him and,
striking out with her arm, knocked the
robber over on the other side of the bed,
and he, in falling, grabbed Mr. Glass, who
is a small man, by the neck and was
choking him when Mrs. Glass’ brother,
who lives in the house with the farilily,
came to the rescue. The man jumped out
of a window and made his escape.
It is believed the man, who had entered
the house through a window, was prepar-
ing to chloroform the inmates when dis-
covered standing at the side of the bed.
He< is described as a white man, clean
shaven and with soft hands. There was
no light in the room, but the reflection of
the moon and a street light gave a faint

The G. B. & Y. C. ferry launch for the
Galveston Boat and Yacht club,
has been considered the fastest craft in
her class owned in Galveston ever since
her acquisition by the club, was defeated
in a short coruse race yesterday after-
noon, according to the statement made
to The Tribune by Mr. H. E. Mitchell,
until yesterday engineer of the G. B. &
Y. C.
The victorious launch was the Ruthven,
owned by Capt. O. Paget. The Tribune
some time ago chronicled an accident on
board the Ruthven which has placed her
out of commission for some time, but the
repairs wrere completed yesterday, and
while on her trial trip in the channel,
according to Engineer Mitchell, she was
challenged to a race from the wharf to
the boat club landing and back again by
the G. B. & Y. C. Mr. Mitchell, who has
been working on the Ruthven, operated
the engine. The start was made and the
engineer says that the Ruthven lead at
the turn by about six feet, but finished a
much greater distance ahead.
It seems that the showing made by the
G. B. & Y. C. did not satisfy the officers
of the boat club and the owner of the
Ruthven has received a challenge, it is
said, from them for a race from the
Southern Pacific docks to the quarantine
station and back to the boat club dock
for a side bet of $25. This challenge has
been accepted and the race will be run
an Sunday.
Mr. Mitchell was made the recipient of
of a fine watch for his skill in handling
the Ruthven.

Monk Gibson is Still at Large and Pur-
suers Baffled.
Houston, Oct. 4.—The Post’s special from
Edna, Oct. 3, says:
Today was an eventful one at Edna, the
incidents following fast and each of in-
terest in a way. At noon came the con-
ference of the peace officers of Jackson
county and outlying counties and cities
with Capt. Hughes of the Rangers, at
which it was decided to join with the
military authorities in the search for Monk
Gibson and to combine the state and
county forces under the leadership of
Capt. Hughes. Adjutant General Hulen
give his endorsement to the plan proposed.
Then began the influx of reports from
various sources, some of which were im-
portant as indicating developments in the
situation. A posse returning from the
neighborhood of Devil’s Pocket reported
that during the night a negro answering
the description of Monk Gibson had been
seen skulking near the fence of a house,
and in tire morning the trail was followed
until lost in the neighborhood of Devil’s
Pocket.
At 11.30 o’clock tonight a report reached
town to the effect that a brother of Dep-
uty Sheriff Power had jumped Monk Gib-
son at Brushy creek, north of town, and
forced the negro to quit his horse. The
negro again made his escape into the
brush and is heading In a northerly di-
rection.
Sheriff Noble of Lavaca county, who
attended the conference of officers, in
discussing the search for the negro, ad-
vanced the theory that Monk Gibson, if
not captured in the Devil’s Pocket, might
have gotten into the Colorado river bot-
tom, where he could hide for months.
Reports leading to the inference that
the negro was located or might even have
been captured were attended by activity
in the military camp. The sudden change
in the military situation from one of idle-
ness to one of the strictest discipline cre-
ated the impression that the military au-
thorities were contemplating an important
move. The refusal of the military offi-
cers to talk gave more currency tp this
opinion.

JUDGE STEPHEN REAVES.
Judge Stephen Reaves, the pioneer
Tyler and an
who died in Tyler a few days ago, was
well known in Galveston. In fact he has
relatives living here, Mrs. John T. Mc-
Carthy of this city being a granddaugh-
ter of the ‘‘Father of Tyler.” The Dairy
Democrat-Reporter of Tyler pays him
this worthy tribute:
“When Uncle Stephen Reaves closed his
eyes forever on earthly scenes to open
them on heavenly things there passed
from the -walks of men one of those lofty
characters, now too rare, that were de-
veloped in the pioneer days of Texas. The
privations, the hardships, the dangers and
the duties of those early days tested all
the sterling qualities of men and brought
them out in bold characters to challenge
the admiration of coming generations.
Among these few shone brighter or
proudly stood higher than Stephen
Reaves.
“He may justly be called the father of
Tyler, having located here when there
was only one log house and a tent where
now looms a. bustling city. This was in
1847, nearly a half a century ago.
“From Capt. Sid Johnson’s book
‘Biographies and Personal
cences’ wye copy as follows:
“ ‘Judge Stephen Reaves was born in
Flancock county, Georgia, Sept. 3, 1816;
settled in Alabama in 1839 and emigrated
to Texas in 1846 and settled in Tyler on
the 4th day of April, 1847. Judge Reaves
was- a lawyer by profession and was en-
rolled as a practicing attorney at the
spring term of the district court of Smith
county in 1847, and he has since occupied
a distinguished position as a lawyer. He
has always been a safe counselor, and his
advice on a -legal poiRt is received as good
authority. As a member of the Texas
senate he took a prominent part in fram-
ing a good code of laws. He is a; man of
acknowledged ability and the very soul
of honor and looked to as a leader. His
life appears to have been a placid and
successful one. Of pleasing manners and
cheerful disposition, he has endeared him-
self to our people. Having lived a con-
sistent member of the Baptist church his
example has been a model one.’
“The deceased may be called the Nestor
of the Tyler bar, being the oldest lawyer
in Tyler. Gov. Bell esteemed so highly
that he tendered him a special commis-
sion as supreme judge, but he declined
the honor,- preferring to remain with his
friends and neighbors and serve them in
other capacities. He served one term in
the state senate and was, we believe, the
first man from Smith county elected to
the senate.
“He laid the corner stone of the First
Baptist church, and, figuratively speak-
ing, he helped to lay the corner stone of
Tyler’s present greatness.
“In every relation of life he bore his
part nobly and such grand men as R. B.
Hubbard and O. M. Roberts were proud
to number him among their friends and
more trusted counselors. He was to them
and others as Gamaliel, at whose feet the
men of Judea sat and learned wisdom.”

GALVESTON COTTON
With one or two exceptions in which
■service has not been completed,' all pend-
ing motions were submitted in the court of
criminal appeals this morning. The rule
heretofore has been that motions pending
in cases before the submission of cases
should be submitted on the Wednesday
preceding the datg,, for which the cases
are -set. The filing of the motion under
the rule has been of itself notice, to the
opposing party. While no announcement
of a change in this rule has been made
by the court, all pending motions, as
stated, were submitted yesterday after
service thereof had been made under
direction.
In many cases, it is said, the prompt
disposition of a motion might relieve a
party of the necessity of briefing his caso.
This is- particularly true aS to motions
to dismiss appeal.

Coroner Barry this morning heard the
testimony of Engineer James Hussey and
Fireman O. H. Bassett Jr. of the Santa
Fe main line train that run over and
killed Antone Hernandez, the track walk-
er, near the stock yards yesterday morn-
ing, an account of which appeared in The
Tribune last evening. According to the
statement of the enginemen. Hernandez’
waited too long before getting off the
track and was caught as he tried to pull
the velocipede from the rails.
The testimony is as follows:
“I am an engineer on the Gulf,. Colorado
& Santa Fe railway. I was engineer of
passenger train No. 6, which ieft Galves-
ton at 7.30 o’clock a. m. Oct. 3, 1905, pulling
Conductor Crawford.
“I whistled for the tower signal at 50th
street. I saw a man on the track about a
quarter of a mile ahead. I thought at
the time the man was walking, as I could
not see the velocipede on account of the
distance.
“After passing over the crossing I
regulating the lubricator, thinking at the
time the man would get off .when the
train got closer to him. In looking ahead
again I saw that the man was still on. the
track about three hundred yards ahead.
I blew the whistle. The man jumped off
the head of his velocipede, caught hold of
the car by putting his hands behind him
and wash endeavoring to pull it off the
track when the train struck him. The man
had plenty of time to get off the track j
