Eagle Pass, May 22.—The Texas
legislature was urged in a resolution
adopted by the Retail Merchants As-
sociation to defeat all tax bills pend-

also asked the legislature to immed-
iately modify the tax measures al-
ready passed.
“We believe the work of the Agri-
cultural Department would be better
and more profitably handled by the
A 4 M. College. We can see no rea-
son for attempting large appropria-
tions for the Department of Labor,
Mining Engineers, Highway Depart-
ment and so on,” the resolution said.

when it defeated Texas in baseball the
second consecutive time. S. M. U. of

Austin, May 22—Divorce
and marriages will come at
slightly higher prices un<ter
terms of a bill introduced in
the prtsent legislature by Rep-
resentative Culp of Bell coun-
ty. The Culp bill proposes a 50
cent tax on each marriage lic-
ense fee issued by the county
clerk and a 12.000 tax on each
divorce application filed.
Representative Culp estimates
that the act. if finally passed,
would net the state approxi-
mately 375,000 annually.
In addition to being a revenue
raiser, the bill further provides
for the repeal of appropriations
made to the vital statistics di-
vision of the department of
health. Fees for ths new tax
would go to this department.
Divoree suits coms In for an-
other tax under a bill by Rep-
resentative Wilmans of Dallas.
The woman legislator proposes
a 12.50 tax on each divorce suit,
provided for in her bill which
would create a court of domes-

Chicago, May 22—“There is not a
flat or apartment in Chicago that
does not have at least one member en-
gaged in the liquor traffic” The Chi-
cago Daily News charges.
“Every apartment building in the
city has at least one tenant and in
many classes all are buyers or sellers
of liquor,” it asserted. This, the news-
paper said, does not cover the thou-
sands of other places where liquor
is bought and sold.
Traffic between the Canadian bor-
der and Deport, a small town below
Detroit, carrying approximately 100,-
000 gallons of liquor daily across the
International boundary line is com-
mon, according to the paper. Many
of these operations are held in broad
daylight, and no extraordinary pre-
caution is used, no more than is used
when groceries are transported. Be-
fore prohibition these smugglers were
bringing Chinese at from 300 to 1000
dollars, said the News, but they had
ceased smuggling Chinese, and every-
thing had been turned to smuggling
booze to supply the United States.

Hutchison, Kan., May 22.—A torna-

people, according to telegraphic re-
ports reaching here tonight before

The storm passed through the
southern part of the town traveling
from Southwest to Northeast. Tel-
Matters concerning the city were
discussed and tabled for future action >
at a short meeting of the city com-
mission yesterday afternoon in the
mayor’s office. The pipe laying on
West Houston avenue was reported
to be making good progress. A. A.
Hodge was appointed delinquent tax
collector. An estimate of engineering ’
work on West Houston for 31,030.72 ■

In the absence of information a*
to what course the Peking diplomatic
corps had taken toward direct dis-
course with the bandits toward the re-
lease of the prisoners, the cabinet
approved Hughes position that the
I Peking diplomata should guide the
course of administration.
“The country is fortunate in hav-
a man like Sherman to represent
i us on the scene at this time.” That
the lives of the captives should be
saved and their release procured if
possible, was voiced by all.
Two messages received yesterday
and read had reference to whether the
dent in China for a number of years,
with the bandits as to some means of
procuring their freedom.
Roy Anderson, an American resi-
dent in China fora number of yean,
was said to be ready to negotiate with
the bandits if given blanket permis-
sion to proceed by the Chinese govern-
ment.
An effort will be made to determine
whether foreign nations should at-
tempt to negotiate through such men
as Mr. Anderson or whether a direct
meeting should be arranged by offi-
cial members of the government and
the bandits.

Fanny was rasied on the country
estate of the Bantrocks, an aristo-
cratic English family, by her uncle,
the butler of the Bentrock household.
When she was fifteen she left the es-
tate and went to London. After vary-
ing fortunes she made a success as a
chorus girl in the famous Empire
Chorus. Lord Bantrock falls in love
with Fanny and marries her. He
takes his bride to his country estate.
There is Fanny, the mistress of c
large country house, the servants of
which are her uncle and cousins. Will
the servants treat her as the I \ ‘
the house of Bantrock or as a kins-
woman 7
The story of Fanny from her
rival at the Bantrock house as its
new mistress is amazingly interest-
ing. Marshall people will be able to
see it in “Fanny and the servant Prob-
lem,” the high school senior play to be
presented tonight at the city hall au-
ditorium. Between the acta special-
ties will be nn added attraction.
A dress rehearsal was held last
night in the auditorium. Judging
from the work performed under the
irregularities and interruptions of the
last rehearsal the play will be good,
for even under dress rehearsal condi-
tions and with an empty house H
front of them the cast did exception-
ally well. The parte are acted nat-
urally and convincingly, and the coi-
twmee are appropriate. Miss Addie
L. Melson, who directed the play, has
trained the members of the cast to
I their present good form.

special trains from Ft. Worth, Waco,
Strawn. The stream continued in
cars from LubboeF, Sweetwater, Win-
ters and Ballinger and San Antonio.
Governor Neff addressing the con-
vention’s business session today told
of the adva^ges of Texas. He said,
“While Texas possesses a great deal
of the raw material, there is little
manufacturing. Only when manufac-
• taring interests come to take a place
along with the production of the raw
material, will there be the real pros-
perity of Texas.”
President A. B. Spencer of Crosby-
ton, delivered his annual address to-
day showing the chamber had 6,48^
members in 266 affiliated towns and
had accomplished agricultural, edu-
cational and industrial advancement
of West Texas.
The afternoon session was devoted
to committee meetings.
Mineral Wells and Browwood re-
main the strongest contestants for

ually. The re-electing of President
Spencer seems likely.

Indianapolis, May 22—Dr. Charles
Scanlon of Pittsburgh, general sec-
retary of the Presbyterian Board of
Temperance and Moral Welfare, to-
day presented the 42nd annual report
of his board to the Presbyterian Gen-
eral Assembly. In turning the boards
affairs over to the new Board of
Christian Education Dr. Scanlon said
that prohibition was an unfinished
task. He said it would not be fully
enforced until we elected officials who j
had courage, inclination and ability to
do what they were paid and sworn to I
do. “When we have 100 per cent pat-
riots,” declared the speaker, *we shall
have 100 per cent prohibition.”
Dr. Scanlon said that financially
the government was nearly 35,000,000
ahead of expenses, in fines exacted
and property confiscated. He charg-
ed that what Spain had done to Ice- >
land, threatened to boycott the fisher-
ies unless Spanish wines were admit-
ted was not commerce but blackmail. '
He denounced “the aggressiveness, in-
solence, imperiousness and practical
piracy of the liquor brigands just off
our sea coast,” and said that the
United States “should, can and must
find a way to prevent foreign conspir-
ators from doing what she has forbid-
den her own citizens to do.”
Dr. Scanlon reported that 27 other
national religious or welfare organi- a team in the international collegiate
zations had joined with the Presby- ‘ ....
terian Board in framing a bill for nat-
ional censorship of the motion picture
films, and that the fight for national
censorship would be pushed. He at-
■ tacked the drug menace and urged in-
'f ternational action as the only solution.
He pleaded that the church take l
lady of stand against tobacco, pointing out
a kins- that more than two billion dollars
were spent on ‘this unnecessary and
harmful thing” last year. Science,
education and experience, he said,
demonstrated that the tobacco trade
was a loss to the church of the world.

Mexicala, California, May 22.__
Vive persons are known to have
been burned to death, many more are
believed to have perished and property
valued at more than 32,000,000 de-
stroyed as a result of a fire which
began when a motion picture maga-
zine exploded in a theatre here at
4 o’clock this afternoon. At eight
o’clock the fire waa still spreading.
Combined efforts of several city fire
departments were without avail, and
many are homeless.
At eight o’clock tonight it is said
fourteen bodies had been taken from
the ruins and the fire was still burn-
ing in spite of efforts of fire depart-
ments to combat the fire. At that
time Hardwick said two entire blocks
in Chinatown had been burned. 14
bodies were recovered from one build-
ing. The cause of the fire was not
determined. The victims were believ-
ed to have been caught in cellars,
where they had gone to escape the

Austin, May 22—The Senate this
afternoon met in general debate over
the proposed methods for meeting the
prospective deficiency in the state
treasury during the next two years.
The result was the adoption of a con-
