weather marked the first day of the con-
vention of the Panhandle Cattle Kaisers

ance are the largest in the history of the

dress, pnd Secretary Brainard presented
the annual report. Addresses and re-
ports recognized new interests and indus-
tries of the Panhandle, and pointed out
changes in the live stock industry
lhrough the addition of smaller farmers.
H. E. Hoover of Canadian this after-
roor. in his address reviewed the past
and present in the Panhandle, and es-
pecially with reference to the develop-
ment by railroads. He severely criti-
cised adverse railway legislation and
pdeaded for encouragement rather than
repression by law.
Dr. J. H. Wilson of Quanah. of the
State Live Stock Board, made an address,
strongly urging rigid measures by Pan-
handle cattlemen against eronia or scab-
bies in cattle, which has manifested itself
in a few places over this district. He
pointed out that even suspicion of such
would destroy a valuable feeder market
for Panhandle cattle in the Middle est.
The visiting ladies were entertained by
the ladies' reception commute** here this
afternoon by an automobile ride for two
hours.

PENSACOI.A, Kill., April 21.- After a
week of quiet with the State troops pres-
ent to preserve order, Pemsacola was
again thrown into turmoil this afternoon
when a mob of twenty-five men attacked
a street car in the suburbs of tlie city
and probably fatally wounded the con-
ductor, G. Hoffman.
Following this attack, I/. VV. Wittich,
a stenographer, was fired upon by un-
known parties as he was approaching a
car to ride home.
The city is quiet tonight, but consid-
erable nervousness Is shown on all sides,
further outbreaks being feared.
The car that was attacked had just
started from one of the suburbs of the
city. The mob suddenly appeared and
attempted to board the car. but the car
was started ahead at full speed. The
crowd then opened fire, riddling the car
as It dashed away, three bullets striking
the conductor. An alarm was turned in
and provisional mounted troops went
double-quick to the scene. The crowd
had dispersed, however, when the troops
reached the scene and no arrests were
made.
Adjt. Gen. C. B- Foster tonight ap-
pealed to the labor leaders to prevent
violence and disorder, and it is hoped
their Influence will prevent further trou-
ble.

NURSES MEET
NEXT YEAR IN
CITY OF AUSTIN
Much Business Marks Closing
Session of Convention-Call
for Registration Law Made.
NEW OFFICERS ELECTED;
DELEGATES NAMED
When the time arrived yesterday for
the convention of the Graduate Nurses'
Association of Texas to select a place
for the next annual meeting, but ono
point was considered—nearness to tho
State Capitol. The nurses put them
selves on record to work like bees from
now until the next session of the Legis-
lature agitating the Importance to the
profession of the enactment of a statute
requiring State registration of trained
nurses. Austin will be the next place
of meeting.
The two dayiT State convention In San
Antonio of the representative women
whose business It is to combat disease
ended at 7 o'clock last evening Yester-
day was thei nurses' "busy day." They
elected officers for the ensuing year, in-
cluding an advisory committee; a dele-
gate to the Association Alumni of tho
United States of tho Graduate Nursos,
which meets In San Francisco May 6,
was elected; a San Antonio nurse was
elfeted a representative of the Graduate
Nurses' Association of Texas to attend
the State Medical Association meeting in
Corpus Chrlstl in May; many vitally Im-
portant topics to nurses were discussed
and a two hours' reception was attended
in the evening.
Officsra Are Elected.
Miss Jennie S. Cottle of Fort Worth
whh re-elected State president. Other
elections were: First vice president, Miss
Jennie Perkins, Houston; second vice
president. Miss Mary Flnlayson, El l'aso;
third vice president. Miss M 1'. Marr,
Dallas; secretary-treasurer (formerly two
offices which were merged into one). Miss
M. M. McKmght, San Antonio. Miss Mc-
Knight has served the State Association
in the capacity of treasurer heretofore
since its organization.
An advisory committee of three, Miss
Margaret Murphy of Houston, Miss Mary
Mallett of Austin and Miss Micidleton of
Temple, was elected to meet with the
State officers, the whole making the ex-
ecutive committee.
Miss A. Louise Dietrich of El Paso was
elected a delegate from the State Asso-
ciation lo attend the alumni meeting in
8fi ii i-'i ;iRcil 0.
in order to solicit the co-operation of
the physicians and surgeons «»l Texan in
bringing about a full consummation of
the plan to urge the enactment of a
trained nurse registration law next year,
Miss Elizabeth Baylor of San Antonio
was elected a special representative of
the Graduate Nurses. According to tho
instructions given her yesterday, she will
be a representative solely, and not be-
ing a delegate she will be simply in a
position Co answer questions put to her
by the doctors. This is but a side en-
deavor to incite sympathy in tho nurses'
campaign to procure a law governing
registration.
Galveston, Dallas, El Paso, Austin and
San Antonio were the competing points
for the next annual convention of the
nurses, but Austin handicapped Its rival
cities. In this, the sixty trained nurses
manifested some truly womanly instincts.
They not only wanted to be right in the
very town the Legislature meets in, but
they voted unanimously to hold the next
State convention much earlier than usual
and are to assemble in the Capitol City
on the second Wednesday m January,
1!*00, Just after the Thirty-first Legisla-
ture convenes.
"Fall of the Alamo."
During the morning session at Har-
mony Hall yesterday, Miss Sarah S.
King, principal of School 9, l*opez and
Colorado Streets, delivered a very inter-
esting address to the nurses on "The
Fall of the Alamo.'' Miss King spoke
upon special request. On Monday a ma-
jority of the visiting nyrses visited the
Alamo for the first time, and In order
to learn more of the history of the
scarred battlements and sacred halls
asked Miss King to deliver an address
which she made recently in the public
schools. The old story was given an en-
thusiastic reception.
The formality of the convention ended
a few minutes before F» o'clock In the
evening, at which time the nurses, their
relatives and friends repaired to Casino
Hall. There a reception lasting until
after 7 o'clock was tendered by the San
Antonio Graduate Nurses' Association,
assisted by the honorary members. The
reception was left largely to these last,
while the trained nurses busied them
selves in the convention. Mrs. Perry J.
Lewis was chairman of the honorary
members' entertainment committee.
It is believed that very nearly two hun-
dred people attended this reception, many
San Antonio doctors and their wives be-
ing present. An elaborate banquet was
given and a merry evening was passed.
A number of the visiting nurses will
remain in the city to see the Battle of
Flowers on Saturday, while several left
for their homes last night and others
will leave this morning.

SENATOR BAILEY
INFORMALLY TALKS
OF THE SITUATION
Answers Questions of Policy as
They Are Put to Him by
Friends at Temple.
JUKES IT PLAIN HE
IS LOCAL OPTIONIST
Special Telegram to The Express.
TEMPLE, Tex., April 21.—Senator
Joseph \\\ Bailey arrived In tills city
late yesterday afternoon on ths south-
bound Missouri, Kansas Texas, which
wis several hours late, having come here
directly from Corsicana In respot.se to
a summons sent him relative to the sud-
den death of his brother-in-law, Dr.
James R Rucker, which occurred here
Sunday morning. He was met at the de-
pot by a number of friends and relatives,
being driven directly to the residence of
his sitter, where the Senator spent the
greatest portion of the evening paying
his respects to the dead, condoling with
the bereaved and greeting Iriendrf In a
quiet and simple manner.
loiter in the evening he came down
town and took dinner at the Harvey
House, whero he was quickly made the
center «>i .< group of friends and ad-
mirers. Ix>cal matters of a political na-
ture being hronched. Senator Bailey said
that of all the counties that he had tar-
ried previously Hell County was now the
only one In doubt. Recently he said,
he had lost three warm and devoted
friends in Hell County, namely, Dr. J. D.
Uw of Helton, by death; Sam Spnrks,
by removal, and Gov. George C. Peniiie-
ton, by desertion.
Bailey Is Very Confident.
Senator Bailey firmly protested his be-
lief that he would carry every county
in the State, with Bell probably « xcepted,
of 10,000 population or more, and that the
mujority in the whole State for hi-* tirket
uould exceed 100,000. fp.*>tan< es were cited
where, although at one time his friends
were dubious of his ability to carry cer-
tain counties, now thev were most san-
guine and confident of the result being
favorable.
As an Instance, the case of Harris
County was Tflven At one time N'atlonal
Committeeman R. M Johnston was
alarmed over the outlook there, and was
fearful that the county would be lost to
th? Fort Worth ticket, but now condi-
tions are different and everybody con-
cedes Harris County to Bailey. Refer-
ring further to Harris County, the Senator
raid his last information was to the ft-
feet that the anti-Baileyltes of Harris
bed so far failed to post their half of the
money for conducting the primary on
May 2, and that he has not as yet been
advised to the contrary. "If they have,
and do not." the Senator said with em-
phasis, "we will hold a primary any-
way; and in that case the antl-hailey
ticket will not appear upon the halloiS."
Thf Senator was asiud whether he
based his estimates of victory upon Im-
pressions or from direct reports, and was
quick to reply that opinions were formed
pinclpally from direct reports, and to
some extent from impressions.
Bailey Is Local Optioniat.
A traveling man who was present re-
marked that In his travel* he had dis
covered m iny cotton buyers hostile to
Sen itor Bailey, and respectfully in-
quired the cause. Senator Bailey was
quick to assign th« reason His explana-
tion was that he had at one ilme given
out an intervh w condemning bucket-
shops as a nefarious business which
should be suppressed by law, and this
was now being resented by those who
constitute the class affected by their nb-
iIt< ration. He took occasion to say, how-
ever. that he favored the operation of
legitimate cotton exchanges.
"If you and 1." said the Senator, l.y
manner of illustrating the point, "were
to engage in a little game of poker, we
would only be losing our own time nrd
injuring ourselves and families, whereas
the man who sells futures injures hun-
dreds and thousands of Other men and
their families."
This elicited another remark from the
traveling man. who sold he found the
Englishmen as a. rule opposed »o Sen-i
ator Bailey and among his bitterest ene
mies. This brought forth a smiling coin
merit from the Senator that he presumid
this was explained ny the fact that dur-
ing the pendency in Congress of the ar-
bitration treaty, which prov'ded for an*
alliance between Great Britain and the
United States, he had given out an Inter-
view to the correspondent of the London
Times In which he said that he would
vote for the treaty upon one condition
only, that being that England should he
come a Republic and fcilace an Irishman
as President thereof. Ever since that
time the Englishmen in the United States
have not been numbered among his
friends.
Probably the most Important expres
sion made by Senator Bailey was that
concerning the prohibition question. He
made It plain that he was a local optlon-
Ist and opposed to State wide prohibition.
Change in Rucker Funeral Plans.
The arrangement for the funeral of Dr.
Rucker was changed at the last moment
and a special train was chartered over
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway
which left here at #:30 o'clock this mow-
ing, hearing the body to Granger, where
it will be interred alongside his first
wife, who died thirtv years ago.
A large party of friends and relatives
of the deceased accompanied the funeral
train to Granger. Senator Bailey being
included among the number. At Granger
the services were conducted with Masonic
rites by Colorado Knights Templar Com-
mandery of Austin, of which body dece-
dent was a life member.
The Temple lodge of Elks also fur-
nished an escort consisting of Messrs.
R T. Crawford. T. G. Binkley and W. J.
Bassett.
Simple funeral ceremonies were con-
ducted yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock
at the family residence by Rev. Simeon
Fhaw, pastor of the Temple First Metho-
ds! Church.
The movements of Senator Bailey after
the funeral are somewhat uncertain, and
will be largely controlled by develop-
ments of tomorrow.
