J. T. Woolsey, aged 63 years, and a
prominent citizen of North Fort Worth,
died very suddenly of heart failure yes-
terday morning. He lived at 2416 Mar-
ket street, and had been ill for some
time, though able to be up. Testerday
morning he went to Riden's drug store
for some medicine, and while in the
store he complained of sharp pains in
various parts of his body. He was
placed in a buggy and driven home and
died a few minutes later.
Mr Woolsey owned considerable prop-
erty but had never married, his nearest
relatives being some nephews at Deni-
son. One of these. J- E. G. Bradshaw,
was immediately notified, and

In the press of large business it may
be that President Pryor's project for
dollar a car contributions from cattle
shipments as the assocatiion’s share or
. the 36 to 37 saving which shippers
are now making on every car will not
‘ be discussed at length today. The fact
that the association needs funds with
t which to defend in further litigation
the present rate advantage will, how-
ever be duly emphasized.
I The appointment of a delegation to
the National Livestock association,
which Judge Cowan emphasizes, will
be followed by a discuss’on of the
policy to be pursued at the conven-
tion of that body. The national asso-
ciation is an organization of state and
district horse, cattle, sheep and all
livestock rgazations, and the Texas
Cattle Raisers' associatio Lb the most
influential member of i. Last year
the action of the Txas delegation un-
der Judge Cowan in foiling the public
land scheme which Colorado and Wy-
oming capitalists had prepared, was
the most sensational feature in the an-
nals of the association. One efect of
that coup was the strengthening of
Texas influence in the association, so
that the Texas delegation will be as-
sured more respectful hearing this year
than ever.
The association meets in Los Ange-
les, Jan. 26, 27 and 28. H. A. Jastro
and T, W. Tomlinson, both of Denver,
are president and secretary, respective-
ly. Texas members of its executive
committee are: 8. B. Burnett and H. E.
Crowley of Fort Worth, J. H. Parra-
mour of Abilene, Richard Walsh of Palo
Duro and Ike T. Pryor of San Antonio.
Legislative Requests.
Requests which the committee today
will decide to make of the legislature
at the coming session may include the
placing of livestock sanitary inspectors
on the permissible list for railroad
passes and a eqnsideraDe Increase in
the annual appropriation for the live-
stock sanitary commission. Requests
for the establishment of experimental
feeding stations in connection with
state agricultural work may also be
made at the meeting today.
Of the executive committee which
meets here today, three members, Murdo
MacKenzie of Trinidad, Colo., George
M Slaughter of Roswell, N. M., and
Martin O’Connor of Victoria, have sent
word that thy cannot attend. The re-
maining members, most of whom ar-
rived last night, axe I. T. Pryor, S. B.

Resolutiozs.
Resolved. That we learn with pleas-
| ure that the Pastor’s association of
Dallas has taken a brave and fearless
| stand against the rae track gambling
। and the Sunday opening of the Dallas
i fair, and that we indorse and thorough-
ly approve all that they have done.
mam --- believe that these features of the
n IUTlDIIDDAH Dallas fair are debauching and cor-
rUn III I P"zEPpI ruptng to the whole state, and that it
B VII III I Uliununn will be a statewide blessing for these
_ features to be abolished.
We therefore hereby respectfully pe-

UaVes and IcNatt Leave IO! body in his next message to the legisla-
j ture a recommendation to do away with
the law, already a political absurdity, as
well as a moral cancer, which allows
gambling at race tracks.
