SAY CABELL IS SCAPEGOAT
Political Friends at Dallas to Ask His
Retention,
fpeclsl Tolenram to The Express.
DALLAS, Tex., July 26.—News from
Austlri that members of the State Sen-
ate are itkely to decline to confirm the
tiomlnatlon of Hen E. Cabell as chair-
man of the Statu prison system aroused
Intense interest In Dallas. Mr. Cabell
was sheriff of Dallas County eight
years and mayor of Dallas four years,
and has many intimate and Influential
friends In this ctly.
The Austin dispatches have been
heightened In Interest because of the re-
fiort that Senator McNealus of the Dal-
m district Is one of those who prob-
ably will not vote for confirmation of
the Cabell appointment There Is no
special defense of the management of
the prison system here, but Mr, Obeli's
friends arc insisting that it will be ut-
terly unfair and unjust to make of him
the "goat" for all the faulty conduct
of the financial affairs of the system.
There Is a movement on foot to rally
sharply to the former mayor's aid, and
lily friends are likely to Invade Austin
In force to InslBt that State Senators be
not so ongenerous, as they believe,
to holu up Mr. Cabell to political ob-
loquoy because of matters that one
member of the Prison Hoard could not
have charged If he would. The matter
has aroused many Dnllupites, and there
Is certain to be activity on the part of
the Cabell men at Austin Monday and
thereafter until the nomination Is either
confirmed, as they expect, or utterly
rejected.

Houston Man Tells Why He Resigned

Epfiti Tf>;r«tn to The fiprM.
HOUSTON, Tex., July at—J. F. Wolters
Issued the followiug statement Saturday:
"Governor O. B. Colquitt's statement In
the press of today makes it necessary for
m« to make a formal statement Lately
several matters have come to my atten-
tion indicating that the Governor was not
very friendly. I could not divine any
possible reason. While in Austin last
Tuesday, M. H. Rowzee, in the presence
of Lloyd P. Lochrklgt, related to me
statements made by Uie Governor while
discussing the candidacy of Senator Han-
ger for Governor, among which was sub-
stantially one as follows: 'Hotel politi-
cians like Colonel Johnston, Clarence
Uusiey and Jake Wolters cannot put
Haugir on the people of Texas as Gover-
nor.'
"To my mind this statement didn't Indi-
cate such a feeling toward, me as permit-
ted my continuing to serve upon his per-
sonal staff. It is proper to say I am not
committed to auy man for Governor for

11 u the understanding of Mr. Elliott
too Federal Government, believing
that
r,iui: an electrical trust existed In the
united atfltes, begun an investigation,
the result of which an agreement between
tlie Government and electrical companies
was reached by which the price of electric
light globes was not only reduoed, but a
price was agreed upon, which all elec-
tilca) companies must hereafter observe.
I liis list price is fixed subject to certain
uJfcOotmtfl. 1 hese discounts are baned up-
on the amount of annual purchases The
loucr the annual purchase the greater
the discount. A $5,000 annual purchase
will secure a 31 per cent discount from the
list price. By combining all purchases
in one contract the State can easily se-
rine the 31 per cent discount, and pos-
sibly a 33 per cent discount should the
jr.I chase reach 110,000 per annum. Any
institution that now has a signed con-
tract for lamp globes lias a perfect right
to terminate that contract and take ad-
vantage of this one, by communlcatllut
with hmi at uU office in Austin,
COLQUITT MAKES DENIAL
Governor Never Sjwke Unkindly of
Wolters, He Says.
The Ex prem Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Juljr 2<J.—-Governor Col-
quitt toolfht gave out tbe following
statement with reference to the statement
issued by Colonel Wolters from Houston
explaining tbe latter a resiguutlou
I deny, making any sucb statements to
Mr. Kowset. AH parties mentioned are
personal and political friends of mine.
None of their names were mentioned iu
my conversation with Mr. Howzee1 iu an
unkindly mauuer. The conversation was
entirely a friendly personal intercourse,
aud no unfriendly reterence was made to
auy one discussed.
"The statement I gave out yesterday
was read to Mr. Rowzee with the under-
standing that it would be given to the
public and lu* ||NM to its substantial
correctness. The only differeme between
bis ret olleetious and mine being that he
thought 1 used the words 'hotel politi-
cians » Instead of the words 'hotel coiu-
palgn.'
"if I had had an unkindly feeling for
any of the parties mentioned, especially
for Colonel W oilers, 1 CtrtlUllj would
not have selected the manager of his
newspaper (Mr. ltowcee) to express such
feeliug too.
"The names of the other parties men-
tioned 1 do not remember having men-
tioned in the conversation with Mr. ltow-
tee, and my feelings toward each of
them is so kind and appreciative as to be
totally iucousisteut with the expression
attributed to iue.
"In discussing the Incident with Mr.
Rowxee yesterday I omitted his uame in
the statement published this moruiug at
his request, as lie stated he did not want
to get mixed up in it and I respected his
request.
' lie did state to me that Colonel Wol-
ters introduced the subject of his resig-
nation from the Governor's staff him-
self, aud stated that he expected to re-
sign. And theu 1 inquired of him about
statements he claimed 1 had made aud
which had been reported to him.
"Mr. Kowzee stated that he and en
other party, naming him, had dis< ussed
the statement several times and that they
would not have been surprised at his (Mr.
Wolters') resignation at any time since
the ban Antonio couventiou."

AUSTIN, Tex., July 26.—The Purges

mittee on Federal relations, which la to
come before the House Monday, wili not
have clear sailing.
Five members of tbe committee. Long.
Coffey, iiarret of Jones, William* of Hop-
kins and Cooper have prepared a minority
report urging that no action be taken at
this time which might, In any way, em-
harass the State department In lta con-
sideration of the Mexican problem, or re-
flect upon thbe efforts vf the Democratic
administration to euforce the party s dec-
laration on the rights of American citizens
abroad.
The minority report says:
MINORITY REPORT.
"The* relationship between the Republic
of Mexico and the Btate of Texas, us veil
as that of the United States, Is peaceable,
and our commercial transactions, espe-
cially by and on the part of the citizen-
ship of the border, have had bo material
disturbance, and your minority desires
that, to whatever extent we raay feel in-
clined toward one or the other divisions
existing In our sister republic, we must,
to be true American cltixens, exercise uo
power and encourage no influence that
would do Injustice to either side. We feel
that to make auy expression of opinion as
a suggestion for diplomatic or executive
action would not be prudent or well ad-
vised, when we are cognizant of the
strained conditions In Mexico and the deli-
cate situation of affairs Involved, now
uuder consideration by our National au-
thorities.
"We fully appreciate the importance of
protection to life and property, and that
the responsibility of this protection for
both our own and foreign Interests is
largely imposed on the United States snd
not ou Texas. The United States Is now
considering a plan for medlutlou. Neither
of the opposing powers has been recog-
nized by ihe United States. Hoth of these
sides have lieen ready and prompt to of-
fer mid render aid In the protection of
both life and property. Where life has
been taken or property destroyed, it bus
been done by bandits who have no respect
for biw or legal restraint.
AMOUNTS TO DECLARATION OF WAR.
"To adopt this resolution will be con-
strued favorable to offensive action re-
quiring organized effort to proci*!d within
the lines of Mexico, and menus, if It means
anything, a declaration of war.
"War upon this busls means destruction
of life and property and a sad farewell
to peace and prosperity on the border of
our Stale for a long session.
"It will bo noted that the resolution
which you are asked to adopt Impliedly
charges the National administration with
bad faith because the National Democratic
PHrt.v had declared to protect life Htid
pioperty and not doing so now makes void
tliii Democratic policy.
"Your minority Insist thai; the Demo-
cratic National administration Is actively
engaged now snd using all due diligence
to meet he demand cited In the National
Democratic platform to the satisfaction of
every patriotic citizen."

make decent and accessary provision for
the State lustltutlons. The total, members
of the committee admit. Is almoat appall-
ing, but the problem Is one that the Leg-
islature will have to deal with, and that
right soon, and the committee tends to
the belief th»t the best time to begin Is
now.
The Senate has been marking time most
of the week, waiting on the House to
puss the principal appropriation bills.
The House bus been torn by politics and
rivalry for tbe possession of the floor,
and lias accomplished little real busi-
ness. Two days' debate got the Hnime
through seven pages of a thirty-five-page
bill covering departmental appropriations
only.
Kfforti of Speaker Terrell and members
of the Appropriations Committee to over-
come the flood of objections, protests and
snieudments have been successful, an a
rule, but at an euormuus expense of time,
llellef is growing that, with the addi-
tional subjects submitted by tbe Gov-
ernor, tbe mass of business now on hand
is more than sufficient to keep the Leg-
islature busy through t siity-aay session.
But House leaders nre using every effort
In their power to get the necessary bual-
r.ess disposed of within the original
thirty-day limit.

BUY AHEAD OF THE
RAILROAD
Ask the mini with tho big fortune
how be made It snd Ml out of
every 100 will tell you that they
bought ahead of development. Our
cattlemen In Texas made their big
fortunes by buyUig land for a song
ahead of the railroads. Take the
leading dtlsena in our towns and
cities and their tale Is much the
Slime; they bought ahead of de-
velopment; they did not make their
mouey in a day. They made It by
makiug it a fixed policy of their
life to buy what they believe will
advance and then to hold on to It
in spile of everything until the ad-
vance comes.
Now, If you will use the Judgment
you ought to have and wUl consider
'he location of Harbor City and
the elevation and If you will be
honest with yourself and honest
with us, you will say that this will
be a city some day. Suppose It Is
postponed five or ten years, the
probability Is that you will need a
snug little sum just as much then
as you do now. There Is one thing
certain, If you wait until the rail-
roads are built and until the de
velopraent actuolly comes, you will
be too late to get a big profit.
The only difference between a
poor man and a rich man Is that
one looks ahead and the other looks
back. If you are able to discount,
the future yonr fortune Is certain.
I nlesj all ear marks fall, there Is
going to be something doing at.
Harbor City and the people who
Invest their money there are going
to make more.
