Yesterday, County Attorney Chas. H.
Theobald turned over to a government
agent 9 ounces and 8 drachms of co-
caine which had accumulated in his of-
fice since he began prosecuting "dope"
cases. The drug will be used in federal
hospitals and, according to Mr. Theo-
bald, this was the only way in which
he could legally get rid of it other than
dumping it in the bay, and he expressed
conscientious qualms against taking
this mean advantage of the fishes.
The accumulation began when Mr.
Theobald first assumed the duties of
his office the "dope" being taken in
arrests and used as evidence against
those who were selling the drug in de-
fiance to the state and national laws.
Mr. Theobald states that when his
collection of the drug first began it
was worth 90 cents a bottle and a bot-
tle contained one-eighth of an ounce,
but when he turned over his supply
to the federal agent, it had advanced
in price until it is now quoted at $28
an ounce.

A Treasury Employee Didn’t Hesitate

Special to The Tribune.
Washington, Nov. 3.--A joint con-
gressional commission is endeavoring
to reclassify the salaries of the govern-
ment employes in the District of Co-
lumbia. To lay the foundation for its
findings it has sent questionnaires to
the clerks, one of the questions being:
"What duies do you perform?”
The frankest answer yet received is
from an employe of the Treasury De-
partment.
“None at all,” it says.
The respondent is unable to do any
work. He lost his sight a year or more
ago. In the absence of a system of
caring for the superannuated he must
go every day to the office. There he
sits, doing nothing at all. The sightless
man can obtain his salary in no other
way, and as long as he is able to re-
port for duty he is carried on the pay-
roll. No other provision can be made
for him under existing law.

“I wouldn’t take anything on earth
for what Tanlac has done for my wife,”
said Eugene Mitchell, of 114 West 13th
street, Chattanooga, Tenn.
“For two years,” he continued, "my
wife suffered terribly with awful pains
in her stomach. After eating anything
gas would form and she would become
so nauseated that she could hardly re-
tain what she had eaten. She had no
strength to do anything and just drag-
ged herself around all day, feeling per-
fectly miserable.
“One of our neighbors strongly ad-
vised her to take Tanlac and she gained
eight pounds shortly after- finishing
her first bottle. She has gotten over
her stomach trouble, eats what she
wants and digests her food without
any after distress. She is also strong
and healthy enough now to do all her
housework and the way she gets
around you would never think she had
been sick at all. We have so much
faith in Tanlac that we have already
got several of our friends to take it
with gratifying results.”
Tanlac is sold in Galveston exclu-
sively by J. J. Schott Drug Co., and
Star Drug Company.
Fifty members of the Young Men’s
Progressive League have been assigned
“regular beats” to cover in connection
with the election tomorrow. Secretary
Boddeker this morning mailed out a
form letter designating the ground to
be covered and the duties to be per-"
formed by each. They are asked to
see the voters personally in the dis-
tricts assigned and to be assured that
they “vote,” which means also that
they vote for the amendment under
the provisions of which Galveston will
be empowered to issue further bonds
for protection against the high water
menace. "The time you give to this is
your own business,” is the closing par-
agraph of the letter.
The Progressive League will be rep-
resented by speakers tonight at Dick-
inson, Texas City and at the Grand op-
era house in Galveston, E. A. Sims,
Judge D. B. McInerney and C. H. Theo-
bald will speak at Dickinson. A prob-
able change in the personnel sent to
Texas City prevented the announcement
of speakers for that meeting. Judge
E. B. Holman will speak at the vau-
. deville show in the opera house.
Judge D. B. MacInerney addressed
the vaudeville crowd at the Grand last
night. The audience was large and
the speaker appeared to have the sup-
port of the house. .
Letters received by the Hon. Clay
Stone Briggs and forwarded here show
general support and enthusiasm for the
amendment throughout the state.
Strong support for the amendment is
promised in letters received by Judge
Briggs from Anahuac, Livingston, Wil-
lis and other widely scattered locali-
ties. One letter, from the Commercial
club at Bryan, states that that organ-
ization has gone on record without a
negative vote, favoring the Galveston
amendment. •

The campaign formally opened yes-
terday when various ministers of the
city delivered the message of the Red
Cross from the pulpits of their respec-
tive churches.
M. S. Bounds, physical instructor and
director of the Young Men’s Christian
Association, stated this morning that
beginning this week a system of phys-
ical training would be installed in a
number of the grade schools of the city
of Galveston. A complete list of all
boys weighing sixty pounds or over has
been announced, and contests between
the boys of the various weight classes
will be held.
Instruction in these various classes
I will be given at the various recesses
each day at the several schools. The
various classes will engage in compet-
itive tests at the end of the season, he
said.
Boys attending the following schools
have been enrolled for the contests:
Goliad, Alamo, Rosenberg, San Jacinto
and Sam Houston.
The following statement regarding
the educational amendment, which is
to be voted upon by the people of Texas
tomorrow, is sent out by Joseph Utay,
secretary of the executive committee in
charge of the campaign for this amend*
ment:
To the Voters of Texas:
The campaign in support of the adop-
tion of the proposed amendment to the
state constitution, which would sepa-
rate the University of Texas and the
agricultural and mechanical college,
and authorize an equitable division of
the university permanent endowment,
and which gives the state normals and
the college of industrial arts recogni-
tion in the constitution, has been ad-
vanced as actively as possible through -
out the state.
Nearly half a century ago the pres-
ent constitution, containing an abso-
lute limitation against appropriations
by the legislature for the erection of
buildings at the universitly, was adopt-
ed. The A. and M. college, established
by the vote of the people a few years
prior to the calling of the convention
of 1875, was then declared a branch
of the university, but continued to re-
tain its original identity in separate lo-
cation, maintenance and organization.
It is only through the fact of this sep-
arate identity that the A. and M. col-
lege has been able to secure the lim-
ited legislative recognition in provi-
sion for needed buildings, which privi-
lege has uniformly been denied the uni-
versity.
The purpose of this amendment is to
make constitutional the separation of
these two institutions, and remove all
those restrictions in the old constitu-
tion whch prevent their direction and
development by the legislature, acting
in accordance with the will of the peo-
ple, into fields of greater public use-
fulness. The provisions of the present
constitution with reference to the
handling of the university permanent
endowment deprives that institution
and its branches of the power to ad-
minister the endowment in such man-
ner as will promote the advancement
of the schools and reduce the cost of
their equipment and development to
the state. This amendment will em-
power the legislature to authorize a
more business-like administration of
this great endowment and convert it
into active capital for the benefit of
increased educational facilities.
Vocational instruction in Texas is
only beginning to be appreciated. The
measure of that appreciation is shown
in increased demands on each of our
state institutions for instruction. In no
■ field of vocational work is the lack
of our facilities so keenly demonstrated
as in the facilities for preparing teach-
ers for public school work. The situa-
tion is one of deep and universal con-
cern. Our teachers should have the
benefit of better training if we may
expect better standards of work in
our public school system. This amend-
ment seeks, by recognizing the nor-
mals as constitutional institutions, to
bring about better equipment and a
better preparation of those who are
to carry education to the masses.
It is impossible to overestimate the
importance to the future welfare of
the state of this amendment. It merits
universal support. We trust overconfi-
dence of its friends may not endanger
its success, and that the active interest
manifested in all parts of the state will
continue to be exercised until its adop-
tion is assured at the polls on Nov. 4.

"The Red Cross roll call campaign is
well under way in the city of Gal-
veston," said Hugh Boddeker, chairman
of the drive in Galveston city and
county, this morning. "With the open-
ing of the business day this morning
committees were busily engaged in can-
vassing the city for members and from
late reports received the prospects for
a successful drive look very encour-
aging. All the ladies’ committees un-
der the direction of Mrs. Abe Blum are
working steadily and I feel confident
that the campaign will easily go over
the top."
No definite report relative to the
progress of the drive had been received
by Mr. Boddeker up until a late hour
this afternoon. Approximately fifty
members had been enrolled at campaign
headquarters at. Twenty-second and
Mechanic streets at noon today.
This office will be open daily from
8 o’clock in the morning until 10
o’clock at night and all citizens who
have been overlooked by the canvass-
ing committees are urged to visit the
headquarters and join there.
Committees composed of members of
the American Legion Post No. 20 are
canvassing the city in the drive for
members. Various business houses are
soliciting members in their respective
establishments and from reports re-
ceived at campaign headquarters a
number of concerns have already at-
tained 100 per cent membership.
Galveston’s quota in the present
membership campaign is $15,000.Every
effort will be made by those in charge
to attain and if possible go over- the
top with this amount. The drive, will be
continued ’through the present week
and close on the night of Tuesday, Nov.
11, when an armistice ball will be
staged at the city auditorium. This
ball will be given under the direction
of Post No. 20, American Legion, and
a booth will be installed in the audi-
torium on that occasion for the purpose
of securing additional members.
Members are being enrolled among

Boston, Nov. 3.—The first Rhoades
scholars to be appointed from the Unit-
ed States for two years were an-
nounced last night by Prof. Frank
Aydelotte, of the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology, American secretary
to the Rhoades trustees, who was in
• charge of the selection. The names
of sixty-three were announced, the
full number but one allotted to the
United States this year, instead of the
yearly quota of thirty-two. The sixty-
fourth, whose selection from Michi-
gan was postponed, will be announced
later. The same number will be ap-
pointed next year, Prof. Aydelotte said,
to make up for the two years during
which the scholarships were suspended
on account of the war.
The men selected this — year were
those who would have gone to Oxford
in 1918 and 1919, respectively, had it
not been for the war. Those selected
as of 1918 will enter Oxford next Janu-
ary and those selected as of 1919 will
enter next October. The competition
was keener than at any time during
the fifteen years since the scholarships
began, Prof. Aydelotte said, due in
large measure to increased interest in
England resulting from the war.
A large proportion of the candidates
were men who had been in military
service and many of them had already
studied a short term at Oxford under
the educational plan arranged by the
American expeditionary forces.
Subject to ratification of the Rhodes
trustees those whose selection was an-
nounced tonight includes:
Arkansas:, 1918, Eugene Stevenson,
Paragould (Hendrix college); 1919,
Shelby McCloy, Monticello (Davidson
college).
Louisiana: 1918, Philip Harold Jones,
Baton Rouge (Louisiana state univer-
sity).
Oklahoma: 1918, Thomas O. Mc-
Laughlin, East Enid (Phillips univer-
sity).
Texas: 1918, Joseph D. Doty, Dallas
(Southern Methodist university); 1919,
George F. Thomas, Clayton, Kan.
(Southern Methodist university).
