from Union college. Schenectady, N. Y. He was
a member of the Psl Upsilon fraternity.
Kcttiraln# to the Utate of his birth and early
life, he was engaged for some years In the pro-
fession of teaching. He came to Texas is 1890

In his associations with his .fellow man com-
mercially and socially he was highly esteemed
ami respected on the one hand and tenderly
loved and cherished on the other.
His bearing toward those with whom he came
In contact was that of the courtly gentleman,
and his respect for woman was of that high and
chivalrous order that he naturally Inherited from

FOUND A PERFECT JANITOR
School Officials Will Award Medal
to W. H. Brilling of Austin
Building.
The building committee of the Houston
school board composed of trustees W. H.
Norrls, Sam McNeill and G. H. Pendar-
vis, accompanied by W. Peine, business
representative of the board, completed
a room to room Inspection of every pub-
lic school building In Houston at noon
yesterday.
The committee inspected each build-
ing- thoroughly as t<> cleanliness and sani-
tation and used a System of grading for
the Janitor's service. Twenty-one dif-
ferent items came under the head of In-
spection, such as walls, blackboards,
windows door and window casings, stoves
and heating plants, floors, desks, Ink
wells and toilet systems. In view of re-
cent agitation and complaints the com-
mittee closely examined the toilet sys-
tems.
Upon the completion of the Inspection
of each building a report card was filled
out for each Janitor, showing the per-
centage made by each during the year.
It has been the custom of the board to
present a handsome medal to the Janitor
making the best record anfl it was for
that reason that the board adopted grad-
ing systems with the report card.
The general average of the schools
was brought up to 08 per cent this year
as against 94 per cent last year and 90
per cent the year if-evlous, which indi-
cates, that the Janitors abe becoming in-
terested in the system.
The highest mark ever attained by any
Janitor on any previous inspection was
102 out of a possible 105 points. On the
inspection completed yesterday W. H.
Brilling, Janitor of the Stephen F. Austin
school, received a perfect score of 105
points for which he will be awarded a
medal by the school board.
The committee members as a whole ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased with
general conditions of the schools and will
formulate a report to be submlt'.ed to the
school board at the meeting to be held
July 11. •

6 CONVICTIONS RETURNED ' the "'first degree, growing out of the
killing of Robert McArtor in a room in
the Brazos hotel during the early part of
May, is set for this morning before Judge
C. W. Robinson of the criminal district
court.
AftM- his arrest on the charge of kill-
ing McArtor, Scott sued out a writ of
habeas corpus before Judge Norman G.
Kittrell of the Sixty-first district court,
who granted the prisoner bail in the sum
of $10,000, which he furnished and was
released from custody.
Thereafter the indictment was returned
for murder In the first degree, which,
under the law, made It necessary for
Scott to sue out the second writ of
habeas corpus. Pending a hearing of the
last writ Scott was granted temporary
ball by Judge Robinson In the sum of
$10,000, which he furnished.
Criminal District Court Had Busy
Bay; Longest Sentence, Five
Years, Given Negro.
Six convictions, five In felony cases and
one in a misdemeanor case, were secured
by the State in the criminal district court
yesterday.
The longest term In the penitentiary
was drawn by George Williams, alias
George Scott, a negro, charged with
horse theft. He was given a term of five
years.
Pink Hosia, white, charged with horse
theft, drew four years in the State prison
because he failed to take advantage of
the opportunity given him bv Judge Rob-
inson to enter a plea of guilty. Hosia,
after the evidence in his case was sub-
mitted to the Jury, told the court that
he would like to change his plea from not
guilty to guilty, believing that the jury
would give him the lightest punishment,
but when warned by the court that the
jury was sure to convict him if he plead-
ed guilty, Hosia changed his mind and
although the court waited a few minutes
he was unable to determine what to do.
As the result his case was submitted on
the plea of not guilty and he was given
four years.
L. C. Barnes, alias Bowen, who was
tried last week and convicted, was found
guilty of horse theft yesterday and given
a term of two years in the State prison.
Fred Samples, a negro, who entered a
plea of guilty to the charge of stealing a
bicycle and asked the jury to go light
with him, was given the minimum pun-
ishment, two years in the State prison.
Maron Jerenz, charged witn the theft
of a pair of mules, was found guilty by
a jury and given a term of three years
in the State penitentiary.
Charlie Tibbetts, a IG-year-old negro
boy who entered a plea of guilty to the
charge of carrying a pistol on June 19,
was fined $100 and costs by Judge Rob-
inson.
The other eases set for yesterday were
disposed of in the following manner:
William Lucich, felony theft; continued
by State.
Jesse Smith, burglary; not guilty.
Charles Howard, theft of horse; con-
tinued by defendant.
Henry Jackson, misdemeanor theft;
continued by State.
Ex parte Will Smith, habeas corpus for
bail; hearing postponed until this morn-
ing.
RETURNED 20INDICTA1ENTS
Grand Jury Handed Down Score

Noon.
LOOK FOR 1000 INCREASE
School Census Will Show Approxi-
mately 18,000 Children
in Houston.
AJthough the scholastic census figures
of Houston have not been completed by
Census Enumerator George L. Charlton,
it is believed by those in a position to
know that Houston will show an increase
of nearly 1000 children between the
scholastic ages this year.
Mr. Charlton will endeavor to finish
his census returns today so that they can
be turned over to County School Superin-
tendent L. L. Pugh and forwarded to-
night to the State superintendent of pub-
lic Instruction in Austin.
Should the census show an Increase of
1000, Houston will have about 18.115 chil-
dren between 7 and 18 years this year,
as against a total of 17,115 last year.
The returns received by County Super-
intendent Pugh from the schools outside
of the city of Houston, which were for-
warded yesterday to Austin, show that
there are 8341 children between the scho-
lastic ages in the county, which, added to
the Houston census, would give the en-
tire county 2S.45S school children. Tlip
total for last year was 24,785.

EARLY WORK IS PROMISED
Rice Institute Contractors Expect to
Begin Operations Next Week.
R D. Gottlieb, who is in charge of the
Houston office of the William Miller &
Sons company, which will have charge
of the erection of the administration
building of the William M. Rice insti-
tute, declared yesterday that the work
on the new building probably would be
begun within a week.
"The trustees of the institute are now
engaged in making preparations for the
drilling of an artesian well on the site
of the institute," he said, "and this will
have a sufficient How to furnish an ade-
quate supply of water for the entire in-
stitute. The cost of drilling this well
is to be borne by the trustees and not by
our company."
Mr. Gottlieb said that it would be only
the question of a short time when the
material would be here and that orders
were now being prepax-ed.
William Miller, head of the contracting
firm of William Miller & Sons company
of Pittsburg, will arrive in Houston this
morning over the International and
Great Northern and after spending the
morning with Mr. Gottlieb, will meet
with the trustees of the institute in the
afternoon, with the probability that the
contract will then be signed.
GAS FRANCHISE
Twenty indictments were handed down
by the grand Jury yesterday at noon,
among which was one against Lee Patlllo
charging him with murder in tho first
degree. He is charged with killing his
brother-in-law, Ed Fugltt, last Saturday
on Washington avenue near the Southern
Pacific railroad crossing. This being the
last term of the criminal court before the
summer vacation, attorneys for Patlllo
probably will sue out a writ of habeas
corpus In behalf to determine whether
he Is entitled to bail.
Two of the other Indictments are
against A. Williams and Emanuel Payne,
negroes, charging them with assault to
murder. The two negroes are charged
with making an assault upon Mrs. Jo-
seph T. Wells at her home, 1109 Jeffer-

Extension of Thirteen Years to Be
Granted Company.
WILL SHARE IN PROFITS
City to Get One Per Cent of Receipts
While Charges to Consumers Will
Be Reduced—Corporation
to Issue New Bonds.
Hedge*' Ice cream at South End Pharmacy,
corner McGowen and Louisiana.
After numerous conferences between
city officials and representatives of the
Houston Gas company, an agreement
has been reached whereby the city is to
receive a percentage of the gross earn-
ings of the company, the same as it
does from other public utility corpora-
tions, and a reduction is to be made in
gas rates in Houston in return for fran-
chise privileges to be granted by the
company in an ordinance to be passed
by the city council Monday afternoon.
According to the agreement, a thirty-
year franchise is co be granted to the
gas company, which will enable the com-
pany to issue additional bonds to retire
the old bond issue and obtain additional
money to carry on improvement work
in Houston.
The present franchise of the company,
from which the city was receiving no
percentage of the gross earnings, runs
for a period of seventeen years more, but.
being anxious to issue new bonds the
company applied to the city for an exten-
sion of Its franchise rights. This request
was met by the city officials with a
proposition to grant a new franchise for
a term of thirty years, substituting the
old franchise, upon condition that tho
city receive 1 per cent of the gross earn-
ings of the company and that a reduction
be made in the price of gas to consumers
in Houston.
TO REDUCE PRICE.
The company, through its officers, has
agreed to the proposition, and will sub-
mit an ordinance covering the provisions
asked to City Attorney W. H. Wilson for
his approval.
Under the new ordinance the price of
gas is fixed, beginning September 1, 1910,
at $1.10 per thousand, which price will
continue In effect until March 1, 1911,
when the rate will be made $1.05 per
thousand. This price will continue In
force for one year, until March 1, 1912,
when $1 gas will be reached.
The new franchise is considered advan-
tageous for the city, as it will be able to
realize something on the gross earnings
of the company immediately, something
which would not have been possible un-
der the old franchise for a period of sev-
enteen years more.
The gas corrfpany, according to its of-
ficials, has spent nearly $1,000,000 in Im-
proving Its plant and extending Its mains
In Houston and, having almost exhausted
its bond Issue It Is desirous of retiring
the old issue by a new bond issue of a
much larger amount, which will leave
sufficient money available after the old
bonds are retired to further Improve the
plant and system of the company.
MAY BE $2,000,000 ISSUE.
At the present time the officers of the
company are unable to say for what
amount the new bond issue will be, but
with the new improvements contemplated
and the amount of old bonds to be re-
tired, it is believed that the amount will
reach close to the $2,000,000 mark.
"The company expects to have suffi-
cient funds available from the new bond
issue to enlarge Its present plant and
extend its mains for the supply of gas
to almost every populated section of
Houston, and in instances to new addi-
tions outside of Houston which the com-
pany expects to become thickly populated
within a few years," an official said last
night.
The new franchise will continue In force
until 1940. Following its passage by the
city council the company will Immediate-
ly take up its plans of floating a new
bond issue.
The gas rate of $1.15 per thousand exist-
ing in Houston at the present time is
said to be cheaper than the rate of any
other city in Texas where manufactured
gas is supplied to the public.
According to a report filed by the gas
company with the county clerk last
March, It expended $102,108.80 last year for
new Improvements and extensions. Its
bonded indebtedness last year, according
to the report, amounted to $734,000.
The report also showed that the com-
pany's gross earnings for last year
amounted to $265,098.05, which earnings
are expected to be greater this year be-
cause of new extensions.

Houston, Tex., Feb. 1, 1909. Eight years
ago my local doctor gave me up to die,
saying I had Bright's Disease of the Kid-
neys and could not live over two months.
One-half bottle of Hall's Texas Wonder
of St. Louis cured me; it is a wonderful
medicine and I cheerfully recommend it.
