Austin, Tex., April 19.—The court of
criminal appeals today reversed and
remanded the case of Mrs. Minnie Lee
Streight from Waco, In which Mrs.
Streight had been given a life sen-
tence in the penitentiary in connection
with the death of her husband, a for-
mer newspaper man at McGregor. The
court in an opinion by Judge Harper
finds several reversible errors. In the
first place, it is held that a change
of venue should have been granted be-
cause of the sentiment in McLennan
county. The failure of the trial judge
to hear the application for habeas cor-
pus applied for when the case went
to trial is also criticised and it is
distinctly held that Mrs. Streight
should have been given an opportunity
of showing whther or not she was en-
titled to bail during the trial of the
case. Further attention is called to
the fact that if Mrs. Streight was
really ill she should have been allowed
a continuance.

Washington, D. C., April 19.—Formel
Speaker Cannon in the house today
vigorously attacked Canadian reciproc-
ity. Aided by a large map of tha
United States and Canada he played
the role of schoolmaster to a crowded
floor and fillet* galleries.
Mr. Cannon assailed the proposed
agreement as dangerous to American
trade, inimical to the best interests
of American farmers and certain to
result in depreciation of Western and
Southern farm land value.
The opening attack on reciprocity
today came from Representative Gud«
ger of North Carolina, who character*
ized the bill as a Republican measure;
He attacked his colleague, Mr. Kitchin,
for his speech oi Saturday, and de-
clared he had impugned the motives
of at least three members of the
North Carolina Democratic delegation
who proposed to vote against 1
measure.
Mr. Cannon followed Mr. Gudger.
“Not since the war with Spain and
all that followed has there been con-
sidered by the house of representatives
so important a bill as the one now
pending,” he declared.
“On the action of the house rests
the well being and the prosperity of
all the people of tne United States.”
Mr. Cannon declared the reciprocity
treaty had been made in secret, and
the country, the senate and the house
had actually nothing to do with the
preparation of the agreement.
Mr. Cannon reviewed the develop*
ment of Western America during the
last century. Immigration and devel-
opment had brought rich new lands
into cultivation, he said; railroads had
by cheap freight rates placed them in
touch with t ie great Eastern markets,
and the value of New England and,
New York farm lands had gone stead*
ily down, unable to meet the compeq
tition.

Fort Worth, Tex., April 19.—Fort
Worth men, including a number of
Texas league stars, will wire a prop-
osition to the president of the Texas-
Oklahoma League tonight asking him
to turn his circuit into an outlaw
league and place a team here. He will
be asked to come here at once and

the advantage of this combination
only,” A combination that controls the
markets, both in buying and selling,
and the result is a substantial addi-
tion to the high cost of living from
which the people suffer.
Removal of duties on their products,
it is argued, will place the farmers
in a free market as to foodstuffs and
food products.. For the reason that the
public desires “that no artificial shel-
ter shall be maintained to protect ab-
normally high prices on food articles in
form,” the bill also seeks exemp-
tion from duty on wheat flour, semo-
lina, rye flour, buckwheat flour, corn
meal and all prepared cereal foods,
biscuits; bread and similar articles not
sweetened.
LUMBER OWNERSHIP.
In discussing free lumber placed in
the bill, hardwood excepted, the report
maintains that the ownership of tim-
ber in this country has become practi-
.* cally a monopoly and has passed for
the most part into the hands of great
corporations and interests which are
speculating on the increasing scarcity.
President Taft is again referred to
in the report, quoting from his speech
of Feb. 26, 1911, in which he said: “By
giving our people access to Canadian
forests we shall reduce the consump-
tion of our own, which, in the hands
of a comparatively few owners, now
have a value that requires the enlarge-
ment of our available timber re-
sources.”
Sewing machines, the report avers,
are sold abroad by manufacturers
cheaper than at home and should not
be protected. The manufacturers would
have by the proposed bill the additional
advantages of free lumber.
Salt is also included in the free list,
the report urges; should be free from
artificial enhancement in price, the do-
mestic supply being dependent upon a
j limited number of natural deposits,
’ controlled by concentrated interests.

Secretary H. H. Haines of the South-

Nash Weil, traffic manager for San-

directors yesterday immediately after
George Gould and his friends on the
Missouri Pacific directorate elected B.
F. Bush as head of the system.
The directors, now that Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. no longer are the Missouri Pa-
cific bankers, will also consider new
financial arrangements for the prop-
erty. While the representatives of
John D. Rockefeller of the directorate,
F. ’t1. Gates and Edgar D. Marston op-
posed the selection of Mr. Bush, it was
said today they will not resign, be-
cause Mr. Rockefeller, as an individual
investor with some $30,009,000 holdings
in the property, felt that his interests
must be protected.
Ed Admans, representative of the
Deutsche bank on the board, is in com-
munication with officials of the insti-
tution and his action will be governed
by advices received._________

CAN’T AFFORD ALL RELIEF,
The reciprocity agreement, the com-
mittee asserts, can not afford the
American people all the needed relief
from high prices.
“Action on the agrement involves
the necessity of further and immediate
action in removing a number of duties
on imports from other countries, in or-
der that justice may be done to the
great army of agricultural producers
who. in the Canadian agreement, are to
have all the alleged protection removed
from their products without a corre-
sponding or reciprocal removal of the
protective duties most burdensome on
the commodities they must purchase as
necessary to sustain their lives and In-
dustries.”
