The House and Senate will meet in
joinnt session this morning to confirm
ers and Harbors Committee, and to
whose efforts chiefly Texas is indebt-
ed for these appropriations, said:
“These items aggregate for Texas
$3,800,000. The total of the bill is
close up to $80,000,000. Many of these
items are part cash and part contin-
uing contracts. For instance: Galves-
ton Harbor is $300,000 cash and $700,
000 for continuing contract; Aransas
Pass is $200,000 cash and $290,000 con-
tinuing contract. The Galveston item
is so drawn as to leave discretion in
or part to dredging. This was in order
to avoid turning down the reports of
the boards of engineers, and while not
entirely satisfactory to me, it was the
best we could do. In addition to this
appropriation, the bill will carry sur-
veys for the Neches, Sabine and Col-
orado Rivers, and for the Red River
from Fulton, Ark., to the mouth of the
Washita; also for channels to Palacios
and Port Lavaca, and the survey of
the Arroyo Colorado and for a harbor
at O'connorsport or All gator Head.”
Shot i.i Hotel Lobby.
Dallas: Albert S. Johnson, a trav-
eling salesman of the Rock Island
Plow Company, was shot and critically
injured Tuesday evening shortly after
6 o’clock in the lobby of the St. George
Hotel. W. O. Brown, president of the
Brown Buggy Company, was later ar-
rested at his home on a warrant charg-
ing assault with intent to murder. His
bond was fixed at $1,000, which he
gave.
A flat car load of seventy bales of
compressed cotton from the Taylor
compress, destined to Galveston, was
destroyed by fire in the Katy yards
there Sunday.
With his arm- and half his body pro-
jecting through a window on the sec-
ond floor of the Potter county jail,
impaled on an iron bar which he and
his fellow-prisoners had sawed in two,
J. Miller, a laborer, under sentence
for drunkenness, was found dead Sun-
day morning.
Jeff House, one of the oldest resi-
dents of Dallas and one of its most
respected citizens, died at the age of
54 years Monday morning. He had
been ill with pleurisy only a few days
and his death was unexpected and
rather sudden.
Abraham. Boatman, one of the oldest
full-bloods in the Choctaw Nation, who
was about 90 years of age and lived
half a mile east of Grant, I. T., was
found dead in bed Sunday. His wife

ben living alone
NO NEW SUBTREASURY WILL BE
CREATED.
MATTERS IN GOOD SHAPE
All the Flutter About Southeastern
and Southwestern Subtreasuries
Goes Up in the Air.
Washington, Jan. 22—Mr. Shaw, who
Is to be Secretary of the Treasury un-
til March 4, says there is no likeli
hood that a subtreasury will be estab
lished in the Southwest soon.
Mr. Sheppard, contemplating the in
troduction of a bill for the location of
the proposed subtreasury in his dis
trict, inquired of the Secretary what
was the prospect of having one es-
tablished anywhere in Texas and got
the reply stated.
Mr. Shaw also volunteered the in-
Information that the Southeastern
States would also suffer disappoint-
ment in this respect.
A bill has been introduced in the
House by Mr. Burleson and in the Sen-
ate by Senator Culberson, denying the
right of the mails to those engaged
ir. speculating in cotton, and forbid-
ding telegraph companies to transmit
information used for this purpose. The
bill is one drawn by Mr. Burleson to
stop speculation in cotton futures. Of
course, so far as it applies to tele-
graph companies, it applies only to in-
terstate messages.
It was said at the Postoffice Depart-
ment yesterday afternoon that Mr.
Livingston’s application for a fraud
order against the New York Cotton
Exchange would not be considered out
of its turn. It was intimated that this
application will not be reached soon.
The rivers and harbors bill will not
be reported before Wednesday and
possibly not until Thursday, and all
the Texas items have been agreed to
except the proposition to extend the
Galveston channel up past the Rock
Island property. The halt here is due
to a matter of detail. Mr. Burgess de-
clares there is an absolute interdiction
against giving out information as to
the items of the bill, and therefore it
will probably not be possible to state
authoritatively what disposition has
been made of Texas projects until the
bill is reported.
Two Men Instantly Killed by Train.
Fort Worth: G. A. Ardrey, aged fif-
ty-four, of Arlington, and his brother-
in-law, Tom Wingo, aged about forty-
five, of Argyle, were run down and in-
stantly killed by a Texas and Pacific
freight train at Arlington at 10 o’clock
Sunday morning. Both men were walk-
ing down the track when their atten-
tion was attracted by a freight train
which was stalled and was making an house at Kingston fell at the first
effort to move out of the yards. They
stopped to watch the train and in so
doing they did not notice another
freight train which was backing to-
wards them. It struck both of them
and mangled their bodies beyond rec-
ognition.
Sanford Disaster Still a Mystery.
Terre Haute, Ind.: A revised list
of the dead and injured from the
wreck of the Big Four passenger
train No. 8, at Sandford Saturday
night shows twenty-eight dead and
thirty-two injured. Of the dead, eigh-
teen have been identified. Railroad
officials and powder experts are at the
scene, investigating the cause of the
disaster. The explosion, is, as yet, as
much of a mystery as ever.
There are two cases of smallpox
four miles east of Aubrey. The fam-
ily lately arrived from Gadsen, Ala.
A canning factory has been organ-
ized at Dialville a station on the Cot-
ton Belt, some seven miles south of
Jacksonville.
The material has been placed on the
ground for the removal of the wooden
structure now occupied at dormitories
by the students of Austin College, at
Sherman.
Railroads are practically at a stand-
still in Oregon and Washington,
caused by the inability of the com-
panies to obtain fuel for locomotives.

Brazos Valley Railroad was actually
completed into the city of Corsicana.

city and to the north.
Plans have been made and options
have been secured on a plot of ground
near the Santa Fe passenger station
in Cleburne, on which is to be erect-
ed a fifty-room modern hotel building.
It is understood that the Harvey peo-
ple are back of the project.
Gus Bray, while working with a
stump puller near Brownwood re-
ceived injuries which may prove fa-
tal.
Andy Bell, a negro, was struck by
a Kansas City Southern train and in-
stantly killed at the Watts Crossing
Sunday. His back was broken and
he had both of his legs crushed.' He
was 50 years old a was a good citizen.
Never in the history of the city has
Chicago suffered from such a scourge
of scarlet fever and dyptheria as she
is now undergoing.
A SALARY GRAB.
Congress Votes Itself a Salary It Was
not Elected to Get.
Washington, Jan. 19.—By a vote of
132 to 92, the House yesterday voted
that salaries of Senators, Representa-
tives and the Delegates from. Porto
Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska be increased
to $7,500 per year after March4, 1907,
and fixing the salaries of the Vice-
President, Speaker and members of
the Cabinet at $10,000.
Mr. Littauer of New York, precipi-
tated one of the most interesting and
exciting episodes in the history of the
Fifty-Ninth Congress he moved to take
the legislative, executive and judicial
bill from the Speaker’s table as it
had passed the Senate and to amend
the same by inserting a provision in-
creasing the salary of the Vice-Pres-
ident, the Speaker of the House and
members of the Cabinet to $10,000
each, increase the salaries of Sena-
tors, Representatives in Congress, Del-
egates from the Territories and the
Commissioner to $7,500 per year. Ev-
ery Republican member was present
when Mr. Littauer made his motion,
but the prominent Democratic whips
sent out hurry calls for absent mem-
bers, and almost instantly members
were on their feet to protest to a cut-
and-dried program for increasing sal-
aries without a roll call.
The only other action to be taken
with reference to this amendment is
for the Senate to confirm. It will not
again come up in the House unless
the Senate should amend the amend-
ment.
In an hour or more after the House
had adopted this bill the committee re-
turned it to the Senate for action by
that body, but the Senate went into
executive session without taking it up
and the matter goes over until next
week.
