In seeking a reversal of a jury’s ver-
dict giving him four yers in the state
penitentiary on convict n of accepting
a bribe, T. W. Davis, former sheriff
of Somervell county, alleges in his ap-
peal to the Court of Criminal Appeals
filed Monday afternoon that the in-
dictment was returned more than 1200
years before the alleged oftense was
committed." He declares the original
indictment was dated ‘September ll-
II.*' This, he alleges, would have made
the Indictment returnable in the year
"A. D. 22" and not "A. D. 1923."
Davs also claims in his appeal that

Colonel F. A. Chapa, born in Mata-
moros, Mexico, in 1870, but for thirty
four years a druggtat in San Antonio,
and for years a prominent figure in lo-
cal and state politics, died at his home
in San Antonio.
Colonel Chapa came to the United
States from Mexico at the age of 17
years, receiving his education at New
Orleans where he graduated as a
pharmacist coming to San Antonio in
1810, where he established the drug
store at West Commerce and Santa
Rosa Streets which he owned at the
time of his death.
Mr. Chapa was a member of the city
council during the administration of
Clint Brown as mayor, being elected
from the third ward. He was also a
member of Governor O. B. Colquitt’s
staff and was re-appointed to the po-
sition by Governors Ferguson and
Hobby.
Governor Neff never having appoint-
ed a personal staff. Colonel Chapa re-
tained his title until his death, an ap-
pointment holding until a successor is
named.
Mr. Chapa was a member of the city
board of education for eight years,
manifesting an active interest in edu-
cational and other civic affairs. He
was a member of the Lions Club,
Knights of Columbus and Alamo
Country Club.

Early history of chemistry was given
to members of the Newman Club in a
talk Sunday by Dr. W. A. Felsing, as-
sociated professor of chemistry of the
University of Texas.
Dr. Felsing traced the early history
of chemistry back to the time of the
Chaldean eivilization of the ancient
period and stated that ruins of that
period showed the Chaldeans were
versed in the art of coloring glasses,
making pottery and handling preclous
metals. The speaker also stated that
the early Egyptians were versed in the
arts of chemistry.
Dr. Felsing explained that the word
chemistry was derived from the word
"khem" meaning Egypt since the art
had its real beginning in Egypt. Chem-
istry was up until a few generations
age was more of an art. This art was
Felsing stated, and prior the modern
ag was more of an art. This art was
known in ancient and medieval periods
of history as alchemy, he declared.

Anybody who wants to know how
far it is from one town to another,
how many post offices there are in
Texas, the county seat of any county,
the number of railroad lines and
highways there are in Texas can get
this information from a map of Texas
that has been prepared by the Na-
tional Map Company of Indianapolis,
Ind., and was being distributed to sub-
scribers in the city today by John F.
Ashburn of Fort Worth, representative
of the company.
One of the maps will henceforth
adorn the office of Mayor Yett at
the city hall, a warrant for $4.90
having been issued out of the general
fund for that purpose this morning.
The map gives the counties and towns
in Texas, the location of towns, vil-
lages and postoffice, steam and elec-
tric railways with stations and dis-
tances between stations. The names
of some twenty-nine important high-
ways are also listed on the map.
"Pretty good thing to have about."
declared the mayor. "Now we’ll know
where certain towna are and other
information about Texas that we want
to know."

Representatives of various firms
who intend bidding for the Univer-
sity bonds of $1,000,000 will appear
before the board of regents this after-
noon, and it is likely that the million
dollar loan will be made and that the
building program will be carried out,
according to a report made at the ad-
journment of the morning session.
The selection of a permanent presi-
dent was not considered this morn-
ing.
A complete report on the power
plant and heating system of the Uni-
versity, made by Herbert Green of
Dallas, University architect, was made.
Mr. Green stated that the present
plant is adequate for the present
needs, and that by the addition of two
boilers, which will cost about $12,-
000, it will be possible to heat the
new biology building. The report also
included a survey on the building
work which is going on. The biology
building was reported as being well
under way, and work will start tomor-
row on the University's new building
at Galveston, the contract for which
has already been let at 1320,000.
Dr. G. A. Works, chairman of the
Texas educational Survey commision,
appeared before the board this morn-
ing, and made a talk on the survey,
telling what is being done, when the
work will be concluded, and what the
survey commission hopes to accom-
plish. Dr. Works stated that the sur-
vey report would include several vol-
umes, but that the commission hopes
to put out a smaller and less technical
report for the public in general.
Dr. Works also stated that the
rumor to the effect that he was being
considered for the presidency of the
University was all ’ newspaper talk.”
He spoke before the regents upon in-
vitation from that body, and spoke
only of the survey of Texas educa-
tional systems and institutions.
The regents went into session again'
this afternoon, and will take up sev-
eral important questions in addition
to the proposed loan. Some action is
expected to be taken on the honor
system report, and also on the ques-
tion of a new absence ruling of some
kind. There will be no session of the
board tomorrow.
Barton Springs will be one of the
most beautiful spots in Central Texas
and an example of landscape beauty
if tentative plans of Commissioner

Avery presented hie plan for further
beautifying the municipal pleasure re-
sort which last year was transformed
from practically an “eyesore’’ to one

Under his new plan Commissioner
Avery proposes to call in a landscape
> artist to plant several thousand
' trees and shrubs which will transform
i Barton Springs into a regular floral
garden spot. Mr. Avery -stated that
I he had given estimates on such a pro-
ject by the F. T. Ramsey & Sona
: nursery of this city, who have visited
i Barton Springs for the purpose, of
planning the beautification program.
• Further details f the proposed
, beautification program will be pre-
sented by Commissioner Avery at the
. regular meeting of the council Thurs-
• day morning, he stated. This after-
i noon at 2 o’clock the members of the
council accompanied Mr. Avery to
Barton Springs where they viewed the
changes that have taken place in the
i last few months.
r “Barton Springs looks like an en-
tirely different place now than what
> it was a few months ago,” Mr. Avery
; commented. “The resort has been
* transformed in appearance until it has
become one of the prettiest spots in
Austin. It is my ambition, however,
» not to stop in this program of beau-
tification until Barton Springs is
transformed into a veritable flower
i garden.”
Commissioner Avery stated that
i crepe myrtle, ligustrums and other
$ trees, shrubs and flowers are to be
■ planted under the program of beau-
tification he has in mind. That these
> trees will be planted immediately and

Mr. Wheeler’s resolution in the sen-
ate authorizing an investigation of Mr.
Daugherty and his department to a
substitute for one he originally Intro-
uced calling for the attorney general’s
resignation, and was advanced as a
result of the latter’s request for such
an inquiry. It provides for an investi-
gation of aspects of the oil scandal,
delaying the prosecution of persons
accused in the veterans' bureau in-
vestigation. war frauds prosecutions
and other phases of the justice de-
partment’s work, and senate leaders
have expressed no doubt of its adop-
tion.
Within the past two days Mr. Cool-
idge has advised with many senators
and others regarding the future con-
duct of the department of justice and
Mr. Daugherty himself has received
advice from several of those prominent
in the conduct of affairs of hjs party.
Last night he had a long conference
with a group of Republican senate
leaders. All of those in closest touch
with the latest turn in the situation
steadfastly refused to talk about it or
reveal just what information had en-
tered into the campaign to drive Mr.
Daugherty out of the cabinet. It was
entirely apparent, however. that In Its
newest phases the attack was a direct
outgrowth of the oU investigation.
Those opposing his continuance as
a member of the president’s official
family have redoubled their efforts
since new information in the oil mud-
dle was brought to Washington Sun-
day, and on the basis of what they now
know they seemed perfectly confident
today that the attorney general would
resign almost immediately.
