FIND GROWS IN IMPORTANCE.
Moth-Eaten Journal Will Be Valuable
in Many Ways.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 2.—Col. E. M.
Phelps, Assistant Adjutant General, from
perusing the moth-eaten journal found in
the Comptroller's office as a verification
of the pay mils discovered previously,
learns that the old record is of greater
value in determining the identity of bor-
der rangers than was first supposed. He
announces that he will file the book with
the department at Washington as well as
the pay rolls to which its columns are
supplements.
Information in the book is adequate to
many needs that presented themselves in
the first study tn find veterans of this
war. which until now could not be met.
Colonel Phelps believes that the records
just discovered will be the means of ac-
quiring for several hundred persons the
pensions that they deserve.

AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 2.—The customary
requests for the use of rifles and other
firearms out of vogue by Mexicans who
contemplate martial celebrations on the
16th—their National independence day-
have begun to come into the Adjutant
General's office.
Colonel Rogers has already accumulat-
ed a number of such applications. He
has a lot of .50-caliber rifles, long since
antiquated in point of model, which he
will doubtless lend to the applicants, who
will give bond. Those who borrow prop-
erty for such purpose are put under bond
for the value of the arms.

CONFER ABOUT STATE LAND.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN. Tex., Sept. 2.—The answer of
the St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico
Railroad to the complaint filed by the
Texas Railroad Commission with the In-
terstate Commerce Commission against
the increased interstate rate into Texas
and Louisiana was received by Assistant
Attorney General Claude Pollard tpday.
Fracticaly all of the railroads involved
have sent duplicates of their answers
to the Attorney General, the natural sur-
mise being that they have filed the orig-
inals with the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission at Washington, yet that body
has not yet annou^ed the date or the
place of hearing. The hearing will prob-
ably be held in St. Louis, inasmuch as
that point will be central to a large
number of witnesses among the ship-
pers into the State. No intimation has
been given as to the probable time of
the hearing.
There are a number of State cases
to be set when the next term of the
Travis County District Court begins
next week, which will likewise engage
the attention of Mr. Pollard. The Pull-
man case, the Texas & Pacific case, the
Farwell depot matter and others com-
prise litigation that will probably be
considered early in the fall. Therefore
the delay in determining the date of the
Commission hearing may interfere to
some extent with the matters mentioned.

" r.iorning from San Antonio, where he has
been several days engaged in duties
leuobing the late encampment.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN/ Tex., Sept. 2.—A deficiency
in tf\e appropriation for the State Ranger
force of about $1000 will probably be
shown when the amount has been finally
checked. About $800 balance was revealed
at the final calculation last year. How-
ever, the $800 excess of last year cannot
be applied to the needs of this, or rather
it cannot bo applied to reduce this year's
deficiency. This condition is in unflat-
tering contrast to that associated with
Federal appropriations for such purposes,
the latter being cumulative and therefore
flexible to the extent necessary to meet
the changing demands of such service.
The Federal appropriations received by
the State National Guard can be used
at will and that which is left at the end
of the year accures to the apportion-
ment for the ensuing year.
The State appropriated $25,000 a year for
the use of the State Ranger service. In
the opinion of Colonel Rogers, assistant
quartermaster general, who is likewise
quartermaster of the rangers, this ap-
propriation falls short of the needs of
the service by about $15,000. An effort
was made before the last Legislature to
get the appropriation raised to $30,000, but
it was in vain, and $25,000 had to satisfy.
There are twenty-eight rangers, and
four of them captains, receive $1200.
About twenty rangers, privates, get $40
a month. The sergeants draw a very lit-
tle more. The possibilities of the life,
the hardships he has to face, the incon-
venience and exposure to actual danger
of life and limb, make the career of a
ranger hazardous to the extreme, and
when there is no better allurements than
$10 a month and the zest of open air and
risky work the service, naturally, does
not have a very long waiting list.
In view of this an effort will be made
to get an increased appropriation at the
next Legislature, applying primarily to
the pay of the officers and men. The
adjutant general's office of necessity
must l.e exacting, even niggardly, in its
distribution of expense. money and
though it dislikes to do it, frequently
makes the ranger pay a part of a SL50
dining car meal from his own pocket.
This must be done, according to Colonel
Rogers, to make ends meet, although the
department is cognizant of the proverbial
high-priced assortment of dainties that
is served on such cars, of which, to say
the least, it takes a larger quantity to
satisfy the hunger of a robust and
healthy ranger than that of the casual
t traveler who leads a more sedentary life.
The ranger force is the pride of Texas
in more ways than one, it is pointed out,
and should be supplied more liberally
with the State's bounty. As it is. its
operations are somewhat handicapped
because of insufficient funds, which, dur-
ing heavy years, like that just passed,
with even the most economical distribu-
tion, cannot be made to go around. T^ist
year was comparatively light, it is said,
and the strict economy of the adjjutant
general's offico made the appropriation
sufficient.
SUES THE DALLAS GAS COMPANY.
Action Is Begun by State and County
to Forfeit $800,000 Stock.
Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 2.—-William E.
Hawkins, first office assistant and Act-
ing Attorney General, returned this
morning from Dallas, where he filed suit
to forfeit $800,000 of the stook and bonds
of the Dallas <lAs Company, alleging
that that provision of the Constitution
which restricts corporations to the is-
suance of stock or bonds for money paid,
labor done or property received, has been
violated by the defendant company.
The Attorney General is joined In the
suit by the County Attorney of Dallas*
County. A series of hearings before the
City Commissioners adduced a^quantity
of evidence, documentary and otherwise,
respecting the value or the company's
stock, bonds and franchises, which has
been employed in the suit instituted.
EMMETT WHITE PROTESTS.
Nominee for County Judge Wants No
Bridge Engineer Employed.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 2—-Emmett White,
Democratic nominee for the County
Judgeship, today filed with the Commis-
sioners' Court a protest against its em-
ploying now a supervising engineer in
connection with tfie construction of a
bridge across the Colorado River, which
will cost approximately |iJOO,flOO.
Mr. White contends that the time is
premature and that the employment of
such an assistant now would be unwise
In other words, Mr. White does not de-
sire for the Commissioners Court and
tlie present County Judge, whom he
expects soon to succeed, to enter into a
binding contract involving such a great
percentage of the work, which he will
have to complete under his administra-
tion. The work on the bridge will hardly
be begun before Mr. White enters offiee.

WHARTON, Tex., Sept. 2.—Supt. I. L.
Candler has offered a $50 reward for the
apprehension of the boy who cut the bell
rope at the school house yesterday, and
further declared if the lad is caught he
will put up the money to convict him.
School was formally opened Tuesday
with the enrollment of 200 pupils and with
an entire new corps of teaghers. For the
past few years the pupils have been grow-
ing more defiant of school discipline. Last
year the record was broken, and tho
trusteeb determined they would have or-
der and employed two men at the head of
the school, a superintendent and a princi-
pal. Superintendent Candler comes highly
recommended, not only as an educator,
but as a disciplinarian, and it is generally
believed that ho means to control the pu-
pils or know the reason why. Last year
window lights were broken and great
holes made in the brick wall where bricks
had been dug out. In fact, every mean-
ness a small boy could think of was at-
tempted last year, and if something is not
done to check such behavior Wharton
will soon be without a school.
