General's Department in an opinion to
Comptroller Stephens held that the • re-

many applications of "reserves" tor pen-

Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 22.-Again the Su-
preme Court failed to pass on the appli-
cation for writ of error in the receivership
case against the Waters-Pierce Oil Com-
pany, this being the regular weekly ses-
sion day. The case has been under ad-
visement over six weeks, and as no ac-
tion has been taken it is now believed
more than ever that the court is await-
ing the arrival of the record in the main
or ouster case and will consider the two
cases together.
In that connection the court may grant
writs of error in both cases, in which
event they would both come on and be
heard before the court and disposed of |
in regular order. A final disposition,
however, would be a refusal to grant tho
applications for writ of error, but the
policy of the court nas been to grant
writs in Important cases and consider
them after a formal and regular sub-
mission. In refusing writs of error the
court writes no opinion, while after
granting same and then disposing of a
case the court always hands down an
opinion giving its views and reasons for
deciding :is they do.
The application for writ of error in the
main case is due to reach the court not
later than February 14, for that is the
last day the oil company has to tile an

the case in the Court of Appeals to sue
out a writ of error. There is 110 doubt
about the writ being sued out in this
case and carried all the way to the Su-
preme Court of the T'nited States in the

From Galveston.
Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 23.—In the case of
C. H. Moore et al. vs. W. L. Hanscom
et al., from Galveslon, the Supreme Court
today held that upon the giving of the
third bond Moore and Marx were dis
charged from liability for any future mis
application of the funds by Compton, and
the full restitution of the money which
had been misapplied under the first bond
discharged Ihe American Surety Company
of New York from liability on that bond.
It therefore follows that the ultimate and
sole liability in this transaction devolved
upon the Fidelity and Guaranty Insur
ance Compuny of Baltimore under the
third bond.
It is therefore ordered that the judg
ment of the Court of Civil Appeals in
favor of the American Surety Company

affirmed. It is further ordered lhat the

peals as to the liability of Moore and

injunction suit was filed against the
Orient Railroad company and its of-
ficials to restrain the removal of the
shops, general offices, etc., of the road
from this city to San Angelo. The suit
was filed two days in advance Of the
meeting of the directors who, it was
suspected, would vote to move the shops,
general offices, etc. The injunction was
granted.
It is claimed that by the charter the
road must retain its headquarters in this
city, and that Sweetwater Is entitled to
tiie shops, general offices, etc., because
this city fought for the road when it
was an UDniil business. The suit will
come to trial later. The citizens of
Sweetwater executed a bond of *25.000.

ot the executive committee of the Kan-
sas City, Mexico & Orient Railroad Com-
pany, arrived ill this city last night in
the private car No. 200 of the Kansas
Cilv, Mexico & Orient Railroad.
The party had intended to leave for

last night, and was transferred to the

"We are combining business with
pleasure on tins trip, said Mr. Dickin-
son. "and after inspecting the road of
the company in Mexico we will pay a
visit to the City of Mexico, where W'e
will remain for several days. V\e left
Kansas City last Thursday, and since
that time we nave inspected the work
which is being done on the road in Kan-
sas. Oklahoma and Texas.
"Despite the reputed scarcity of money
we have been able to keep large forces
at work on all sections of the road now
under construction, and on this inspec-
tion trip we have found the work pro-
gressing well at all points.
"A. tel. Stilwell, president of the com-
pany, arrived at Ki ^aso on the Texas
Pacific today with a large party which
will go over the road in Mexico, and
which will also visit the capital. They
will pass through San Antonio on the
return trip within the next two weeks,
but we are going to make the trip over
the Texas A. Pacific Railroad."
Mr. Dickinson was formerly vice pres-
ident of the Union Pacific Railroad,
with which road he was connected for
thirty-two years, but has been connected
with the Orient for the last five years.
Mr. Crocker was formerly vice president
of the other Harriman road, the South-
ern Pacific, which office he relinquished
about six years ago.
Although vice president of the Orient,
he has practically retired rrotn active
