SENATOR BAILEY
Will NOT RUN
Announces Decision to Retire From
Office Next Year—Ho Reasons
Assigned.
From Daily N«w«. _ „ .
Gainesville, Tea., Sept. 6.-
-Fol-
lowing Senator J. W. Bailey's an-
Aouncement that be would not he a
candidate again for United States
Senator from Texas, it was learned
authoritatively today that the Sena-
tor expects to remove to New York
where he will reside permanently.
There he will become a member of
one of the strongest law firms in the
country and will devote most of his
time to the practice of corporation
law. His income will be ten times
that of United States Senator. The
name of the firm with which he will
become associated has not been an-
nounced.
While Senator Bailey has not given
definite reasons for his retirement, it
has become known that during the
last year he and other democratic
leaders in Washington have not been
in accord over important legislation
and much legislation has been en-
acted over his vigorous protest.
Only a few months ago it will be re-
called, he resigned from the Senate,
but leaders of that body insisted
upon including the recall feature in
the Arizona constitution. Friends
prevailed upon him to withdraw his
resignation.
Senator Bailey 1 announcement
came suddenly, and while it causes
great disappointment to his friends
and supporters, it has not occasioned
great surprise.
The Senator has not said whom
he will favor to sucfceed him and he
may not make any announcement in
this direction.
F. P Works to Amarillo.
In the professional column this
week will be found the law card of
Crudgington, Works & Umphres of
Amarillo. Mr. Works having as-
sociated himself with the firm of
Crudgington & Umphres the first of
September.
Mr. Works, a citizen of Hillsboro
and Hill county for some twenty
years, and a native of Ellis county,
is well known to many Hereford
peopfe. His state-wide prominece
in educational, religious and temper-
ance lines is well known, and the
Panhandle and Amarillo is to be
congratulated in securing this new
citizen.
Mr. Works, who spoke in the in-
terest of prohibition in Hereford
during the state-wide campaign,
makes the Panhandle his permanent
home because of the boundless op-
portunities he then saw in the coun-
try, and the health giving abundance
in its sunshine, water and air. His
decision to locate at Amarillo was
made from the fact of the ne*. ^urt
of appeals being located there.
C. P. (Gus) Woodburn left today
on the 11 o'clock train for £1 Paso,
but when asked about the purpose of
his journey said that it was none of
our business. But he had a new
suit case and also made a shipment
of household goods. His address
for a while will be Van Horn and it
is told around that he will try to
keep a few goats on 6 sections of
land.
J. G. Harmon of Kansas City, re-
presenting " the Witherspoon Com-
mission Firm, was in Hereford today.
Jn^W. Gordon of Lubbock was
in on bjsmess.

Corsicana, Sept. 2 — Col. Roger
Queries Mills, ex-United States sen-
ator and Corsicana's most distin-
guished citizens, died at his home
here this morning at 10:30. His
son, Major Charles H. Mills, and
daughter, Mrs. Carrie Wood of Cal-
ifornia were with him at the time of
his death. His other daughter Mrs.
Fannie Richarde is traveling abroad.
Colonel Mills was 79 years of age,
being born in Todd county Kentucky,
in 1832. He is survived by three
children (his wife having died a few
years ago), viz., Major Charles H.
Mills and Mrs. Fannie Richards of
this city and Mrs. Carrie Wood of
California. He has also two grand-
sons, Roger and Elbert Maloney,
living in Washington, D. C,
In private life Colonel Mills was
loved, honored and esteemed by the
whole community. He was a man
above reproach and his kindly dis-
position and democratic manner won
htm friends in all classes. He so
conducted himself, and such was the
worth, integrity and uprighteousness
of his character at home, where he
has been known intimately from day
to day by his friends, neighbors and
fellow townsmen that he serves as
an evample for the youth of the com-
munity to emulate.
He came from Kentucky to Texas
and stopped first at Palestine, the
home in the early fifties of his uncle, 1
Judge Reekan Reeves. His stay in j
Palestine was of short duration. He |
moved to Corsicana, Navarro county, I
where he ever since resided. He J
was a typical son of Kentucky, full
of health and spirits, splendid con-
stitution, well proportioned frame, a|
