GOAT MEN ARE AFTER WOLF
ASSOCIATION WILL AGAIN I'RIiE
PASSAGE OF A BOUNTY LAW.
They Say Depudations of Animal Is
Serious Menace to the Stock-
raising Industry of Texas.
Discussing ways and means looking to-
ward the passing of a bill by the next
Legislature which will materially aid 4n
the extermination of all carnivorous wild
animals in Texas, consumed the time of
tho members of the Texas Sheep and
Goat Raisers Association at a meeting of
that body in the auditor!.mi of the Cham-
ber of Commerce Thursday night.
The members agreed that the wild anl-
rrali, especially the wolf, is ,t perfect
menace to the profits of the sheep,
goat, fowl and stock raisers hi this State,
and the plans are to raise money t« make
the passing of suitable bounty laws a
rcrtalnly by the next Legislature. The
plans r.s outlined are to educate the peo-
ple of the stock raising districts into a
frame of mind that they will demand of
th« ir lawmakers an adequate bounty. For
this, funds are required, rays the asso-
ciation.
Accordingly, within the next few days
chairmen will be appointed by the offi-
cers of the association in all localities
within th# stock raising belt, who will
solicit and collect money for the carry-
ing on of the campaign. With sufficient
funds the members of the association
feel sure that the passage of the bills
can he secured.
Other associations of the State are in
torested in tho movement and are in
heart;* co-operation with tho sheep ar.d
goat raisers. Among these are the Texas
Cattle Raisers Association, the Texas
II off Raisers Association, tho Texas
Fanners Congress and several poultry
associations in the State A resolution
w.i. passed by the members at the meet-
ing Thursday night asking that the San
Antonio Chamber of Commerce and all
other commercial bodies in the Htate b •
asked to lend their aid in securing of
laws for the extermination of wolves
and other wild animals, "whoso depreda-
t'onr. are causing an annual loss to this
£t;ite hat amounts to thousands of
dollars,"
The wild animal bounty bill has been
roughly drafted and will be ready for the
Text session of the legislature. The
sheep and goat raisers are cspeciallv
• irnest in their fight against the wolf,
In additon to tho destruction of
llvfl stock by the wolf. the fact,
they say. that this animal con-
tinue; to he infected with hydronhobla,
making it i menace to human life, ren-
ders It vrv imperative that the wolf in
T« xas be exterminated.
The attend.*!-ice at the meeting Thurs-
di.v night was mailer than expected. A
wreck on on- ..f the railroads entering
San Antonio made it Impossible for

Special Telegram to The Express.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—The Rivers
Harbors Committee of the House will
give no consideration to the lntercoaatal
(anal, connecting the Mississippi River
with the Rio Grande, under tho now sur-
vey. This situation is due to the delay
caused by the peculiar character of tho
work necessary to develop full informa-
tion with reference to tho Louisiana
stretch of the canal. As a result of this
state of affairs, practically tho only ap-
propriation that will be carried In the
l.ill for tho lntercoastal canal, to the ex-
tt nt that Texas is concerned, will be for
that part of the project from the Brazos
River to Matagorda Bay
Congressman Garner is discouraged at
tho situation because of his earnest de-
sire to have a report on the project from
the Brazos .River to the Rio Grande.
Mr. Garner received a telegram today
from the business interests of Browns-
ville, saying "that the delay would be
disastrous Tho Texas Congressman has
one remaining recourse, which he will
endeavor to make to save that part of
the project in which he feels the deepest
concern. While Mr. Garner Is by no
means sure of the success of his final
move, ho proposes to make It.

NEGRO'S ACT STIRS MEMPHIS.
Assaults Telephone Girl hut Officers
and Posses Fail to Find Him.
MEMPHIS, Tcim., Jan. 6.—Prartically
every haunt where the man would likely
seek a place of hiding in Memphis was
searched tonight in an effort to appre-
hend an unknown negro who earlier in
the evening attacked Miss Minnie Wil-
son, a telephone operator, in the vicinity
of her home in a suburban section of the
city. The search, however, which was
participated in by both citizens and poll *e
up to a late hour, had proven unsuc-
cessful.
According to the statement of the young
woman, she was seized by the negro ind
dragged into an unoccupied building. She
fought with her captor for nearly half
an hour, when the approach of a passing;
pedestrian frightened the man away.
When the young woman reached h»r
home after the struggle she collapsed,
and tonight her condition Is said to be
serious.
PRISON PROBE CONTINUES.
Easy to Keep Convicts Clean and Feed
Them Well.
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 6.—-The investi-
gation into the charges of Inhumanity to
prisoners confined in the city prison,
known as the stockade, took the form to-
day of comparison with tho State and
county convict camps. The latter are for
the confinement and punishment of men
convicted of felony.
The State has no penitentiary. It
works its prisoners on the roads since
the abolition of the lease system a year
ago. Superintendents of State convict
camps testified that it was a simple mat-
ter to keep tho prisoners clean, to per-
mit the removal of shackles at nights
and for the purpose of bathing twice a
week, to feed them wholesome and clean
food and to keep their quarters sanitary.
They declared that there was no vermin
or filth at State camps and very little
suffering. Unruly prisoners were whipped
with a strap, but hanging to the wall or
whipping chairs were never necessary.

WHITE SLAVE BILL.
Praise for Prompt Manner in Which
Congress Is Acting.
Commendably prompt, sharp and de-
cisive has so far been the action In
Congress on the white slave traffic.
Neither personal nor committee rivalry
has been permitted to obstruct progress.
Several bills were introduced or fore-
shadowed on the first day of the session,
hut. already the Committee on Immigra-
tion lias reported a comprehensive sub-
stitute which embodies the important fea-
tures of the respective measures.
Judging by the press summary, the
reported bill Is drastic enough and
practical enough to yield very sub-
stantial results. It se<>ms to exhaust
the duty and opportunity of the Federal
Government. It covers Interstate trans-
portation of "white slaves," as suggested
by the Mann bill, and greatly strength-
ens the provisions of the Immigration act
in relation to the importation, harboring
and deportation of white slaves, and the
punishment of procurers and panderers
connected with the unspeakable traffic .
No opposition to the bill Is conceiv-
able except on technical constitutional
grounds. All decent men agree that the
Federal Government should do all that
It ran constitutionally do to suppress
the evil In question. And all agree that
the revelations of the Immigration Com-
mission anil other Investigators show
that the situation demands immediate at-
tention. Not only should Congress act.
but It should act without any undue de-
lay.
And congressional action will bn fol-
lowed by Ititi and local action. The
House committee has done well to urge
further legislation by the states along
the lines of the new Illinois laws in
relation to the traffic. The local police
departments and the county prosecutors
will he expected to redouble their ener-
gies and vigilance. The public conscience
has been aroused, and it will brook no
apathy or corrupt shielding of the slave
traders.—Chicago Record-Herald.
That The Express' popularity contest
is all that the name implies Is amply em-
phasized in the manner In which the peo-
ple of Southwest Texas are taking to it.
Nominations have been pouring In for
the past three days from all parts of the
vast territory covered by The Express.
Thousands of votes have come in, and
the force in the contest department have
been kept on the jump, and a number of
them were compelled to work far into
the night Thursday to get the tabula-
tions in form and up ready for the rush
that has been increasing since the day
the announcement was made that The
Express was ready to receive nomina-
tions in the greatest popularity contest
ever attempted in Texas or elsewhere.
Never in the history of any contest by
a newspaper In Texas have the people
shown such an active interest. The great
success of the first annual contest had
its effect, and the exact fairness with
which it was conducted stimulated confi-
dence. This, with the long and continued
fairness of The Express and the well-
known policy of the management to per-
form all it promised In the minutest de-
tail, has made this contest start with a
boom. Back of all this, too, lies the fact
that there Is lnstrinsic value In which
there Is the assurance of additional
growth, which adds Interest to the effort.
LAND VALUES NOT A DREAM.
Land values in Southwest Texas are
not a dream—far from It. They represent
a value that is seldom found elsewhere,
and in them lies possibilities that are not
present in many localities in the United
States Real estate stands basic here for
many reasons that cannot be applied in
other localities. The climate Is the most
generous in the world, and sunshine and
flowers make this one of the ideal coun-
tries of the globe. Everything Is here to
make the country habitable. In addition
to the sunshine and flowers and that
kindliness of the elements that makes a
homo here delightful, the soil has possi
bilitles which have never been tested.
The Express thought of all these things
when arrangements were making for the
present popularity contest, and selected
prizes that would, in addition to appeal-
ing to the keen commercial spirit that is
always present in progressive communi-
ties. nlso exploit tho country that is so
dear to the hearts of the thousands of
true Trxans, both by birth and adoption;
for It Ih H fact that some of the most
devoted adherents of this great Stat"
are those who Inive left other localities
and cone hern to make this part of the
State their home.

FOIL A DARING ROBBERY
Bandits Attempt to Raid Bank
Brooklyn by Daylight and
Shoot a Clerk.
CONTRACTORS WITH CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE ARE AT WORK.
J. P. Nelson Says Work on Fredericks-
burg Road Is Going Forward.
Edwards Is Also Actively
at Work.
Reports are that the work being done
on the two new railroads for Ran An-
tonio is progressing rapidly and that
roarlbeds are being prepared for ties and
steel faster than the contracts call for.
The railroad committee of the cimmber
of Commerce announces that all clauseo
of the contracts are being fulfilled by
the contractors.
"We are doing the heavy work first,
the light gradings will be done after-
wards," said J. P. Nelson, contractor,
who is building the. Fredericksburg Hail-
road, when asked about the progress be-
iiifr made Thursday. "At present the
workmen are busily engaged with the
seventy nine-foot cut that is to be made
In a hill nine miles this side of Fred-
ericksburg—an elevation that I believe
has kept a railroad away from the town
for the last twenty years. The dirt being
taken from this cut is being placed on
the nine-mile fill, just a few miles from
Fredericksburg."
Reports are that the gang of work-
men did not discontinue operations dur-
ing the holidays or the unfavorable
weather attending them. Clearing and
filling in are being done in and around
the hill spoken of by Mr. Nelson, and
the contractor says that when the cut is
made and the grade filled a larger por-
tion of the work of grading the roadbed
will have been completed.
Surveyors have been working during
the last few weeks on the Edwards road
on the line south of the Medina River
toward Jourdanton. The contract that
was made with J. F. Edwards and the
Chamber of Commerce is being carried
out to the letter, according to the reports
of Aubrey & King, attorneys of the Ed-
wards contractors. In fact, it Is claimed
the work is progressing ahead of the
time stipulated in the contract.
I. & G. N. TO TAKE OFF TRAINS?
Nos. 8 and 9, It Is Said, Will Be Dis-
continued January 16.
Special Telegram to The Express.
PALESTINE, Tex., Jan. ft—The latest
information regarding the International
& Great Northern change of schedule, to
become effective January 16, is that
train No. 8, which reaches here from San
Antonio at 7 o'clock p. m., and No. 9,
which leaves this city for San Antonio
and points west at 10:15 o'clock a. m.,
will be discontinued.
One of the reasons for the change in
schedule Is found in the recent order of
Receiver Freeman of the road that trains

tempt to hold up and rob a private bank

clerks in the bank and then gave battle to
a crowd in the streets.

entered and Inquired about steamship
tickets. Samuel Horn, a clerk, suspected
their motives and grabbed a tray contain-

currency and attempted to carry It to a
safe. Two of the intruders then leaped
over the counter after him. In the fight
one of the robbers fired several shots at
Jvorn, one of which penetrated his neck,
inflicting a wound from which it is said
he may die.
The shot attracted persons from the
street niirt the four men attempted to get.
away. A* they ran from the front door
they were stopped by the crowd mo-
mentarily.
There was a lively fight in which sev-
eral sl ots were fired and several citlzenif
knocked down.
Two of the robbers got away but a score
of men were hanging on to the other two
when the police arrived.
