SPEED LIMIT FOR SAN MARCOS.
Automobiles There Must Not Run
Over Ten Miles an Hour.
Special Telegram to The Express.
SAN MARCOS?, Tex., April 14.—By ac-
tion of the city council this afternoon the
city Is to have an auto speed limit of ten
miles an hour.
The council also agreed to appropriate
1260 towards the Installation of the tower
clock In the new court house now build-
ing. This has been a matter of much
concern to the citizenship of this town.
The county, through Its Commissioners,
some time ago agreed to bear one-half of
the expense, which was estimated at
about tWO, provided the city of San Mar-
cos or the people here would furnish tho
other 1600, the estimated cost of the clock
having been placed at JIjOO. This action
of the city council leaves over three-
fourths of the required amount to he paid
by the county. The Commissioners Court
in session today discussed informally the
matter of doing this, but no definite ac-
tion was taken, though the presumption Is
that they will act favorably at their next
meeting.

quest.

second day out, while In her cabin. Her
companion was greatly agitated over the

thought sho hud been mentally unbal-
anced by her friend's tragic death.

IS TAKEN INTO FEDERAL COURTS
Sensational Step Taken in Cumber-
land Presbyterian Fight.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 14.—At 10
o'clock tonight the most sensational sjep
yet taken In this city between tlie Cum-
berland Presbyterian "loyalslsts" and
the "unionists," or Presbyterian Church
Unionists of America, was made by the
Penn Mutual Company of Pennsylvania,
holding a mortgage of $9000 on the Hiis-
sell Street Presbyterian Church. If. M.
Doak, clerk of the United Stutcs Court,
was awakened from his night's sleep and
a bill filed with him by the insurnin'o
company against the Edgefield Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church, a corporation
owning tho Russell Street church. The
elders of both contending corporations
are made parties to the suit.
A sale to satisfy tho debt Is asked,
and in tho event there Is a residue, tho
court is asked to decide to whom it be-
longs. This brings the church continuity
directly Into the jurisdiction of tho Fed-
eral Court, complainants being a foreign
corporation. A decision as to any resi-
due from the sale would force a deter-
mination of church rights In the now
famous continuity. Judge Sanford to-
day granted a temporary restraining or-
der preventing the Cumberland members
Irom molesting the members and others
In the possession of the Grace Church
of this city, pending the hearing of the
prayer for an injunction on April 24.
The Injunction to be sought at that
time Is to the effect that the loyalists
be restrained from .Interfering, taking the
Grace Church or attempting to take It,
nnd that tho loyalists be further re-
strained from Interfering wilh the union-
ist complainants In the possession ot' the
church.
GETS~JUDGMENT FOR"$2.50.
Deputy United States Marshal Sues for
$10,000 From Pullman Company.
All the jury In the Forty-fifth District
Court yesterday in th# case of J. D. Dod-
son vs. the Pullman Company ugrecd
that the Pullman conductor, who refused
to accept Deputy United States Marshal
Dodson's transfer at Los Angeles last
year did wrong, but not $10,000 worth of
damage, as the plaintiff asserted In his
petition. The jury believed that $2.00 and
costs would cover the situation and, ac-
cordingly, returned a judgment for that
amount.
Dodson had purchased a through Pull-
mun ticket from San Antonio to San
Frnnclsco In February, 1D07, but at I,os
Angeles he was obliged to leave the car
he had started on because It went on In
a solid Pullman train, and he had to
remain on the train which carried day
coaches so that he could look after two
smuggled Chinamen who were being
deported. He secured a transfer, but
the conductor on the next Pullman re-
fused to accept it, and Marshall Dodson
pus-red an uneasy night in a day coach.
The $2.50 which the court has allowed
him on the judgment represents the un-
paid portion of his ticket and the court
costs, which will be heavy, and which
the company will have to pay. will Sr-rve
as a lesson whtch the plaintiff Intended
for the Pullman company.

FAIRER CONSTRUCTION
01 THELAW IS SOUGHT
Special Telegram to Tho Express.
WASHINGTON, April 14.—The question
of a fairer construction of the law relat-
ing to the pensioning of Texas Rangers
who fought the Indians on the frontier
from 1S55 to 1800, inclusive, was argued
today before Assistant Secretary Wilson
of tho Department of the Interior, sitting
us chairman, and two members of the
board of appeals, steps being made
by Representatives Gurner and Burleson
and Henry Peyton and W. II. Robeson,
local attorneys.
Under Pension Commissioner Warner's
construction of tho law, tlio Stutc of
Texas was reimbursed by the United
States Government for money paid the
Texas Rangers, nnd only those Rangers
who were paid by tho State for services
as shown by the records aro entitled to a
pension.
The contention made to the board to-
day was that every man who served on
the Texns Rnngers from 1850 to I860 in-
clusive should receive a pension of IH a
month, as tho law specifically declares
that every man shall be paid that amount.
Eight hundred Rangers now are re-
ceiving this pension, but there are 400
who have been cut out of the pension
benefit by Pension Commissioner War-
ner's construction of the law. Mr. Garner
and Mr. Burleson both feel sanguine of a
fairer construction of the law, as the
board of appeals gave a patient hearing
to the speakers and otherwise manifested
a deep Interest In tho case.

proposition.

other food products," had been received
by him, but had been referred imme-
diately to tho Department of Justice,
which would have Jurisdiction in the mat-
ter if there is any law covering the case.
Tho Department of Justice has not yet
decided whether any action can be taken
in the matter.

CRAZY SNAKE IS WELL HIDDEN.
Ten Thousand Men Could Fin4 Him
Just Now.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 14.—"Ten
thousand men could not find Crazy Snake
In the region in which he is hiding," paid
Col. Roy Hoffman of tho Oklahoma
State Militia, who led the recent search
for the Indian chief and who arrived in
Kansas City today.
"He Is in a wild, sparsely settled
region. 30 miles wide and 100 miles long,
extending to tho Red River. It has been
the successful hiding place for criminals
for years. But it is only a question of
time until we get them. William Tlgh-
man, an old frontiersman and former
marshal of Dodge City, is leading the
search.
"Undoubtedly Crazy Snake was wounded
in the leg In the fight at Hickory Ground
before the militia took part.'
SAYS B1ACK HAND IS MYTH.
Italian Lawyer Declares There la no

CHICAGO, 111.. April 14.—"The Black
Hand Society is a myth. No such or.
ganizatlon ever existed," declares Ber-
nard Baraca, a prominent Italian lawyer
and former attorney of the Italian con-
sul here, commenting on the recent al-
leged "black hand" outrages In this city.
He Is at the head of a formal movement
designed to expose what he calls a hoax.
"It is hurting the Italian people In the
United States. Matters have got to such
a point that when I try to go Into court
to try to get a case before a Jury I have
to ask the veniremen whether they aro
grejudlced against Italians. I find that
undreds of men are. A little question-
ing brings out the fact that this preju-
dice is founded on the black hand stories.
Italian men are troubled In the same
way."
"The term "black hand' originated In
New York. A small band ot blackmailers
wrote to a banker there signing that
name. Since that time it has been used
thousands of times in connection with
all sorts of outrages."

Commissioners Court today agreed to
prorate the taxes paid by nonresident /

of property for taxation in said precincts,
this action applying to the taxes paid
Into the road and bridge fund. Hereto-
fore the taxes paid Into this fund have
been spent in the precincts in which
they were paid. As the railroads of the
county are the principal taxpayers qt this
class, Precincts 1 and 2 in the southern
jiart of the county have been tlie solo
beneficiaries. Precincts 3 and 4 are sit-
uated in the upper part of the county
nnd are mountainous nnd broken, hence
have been deficient in funds to keep their
roads In good condition. This action of
t lie court will give some additional funds
lo these precincts, but yet not sufficient / '
to meet their requirements. t
