THE EL PASO OF
G0NE-BY DAY8
(Continued From First Page.)
Austin, Tex., April 26.—At the de-
partment of education tbla morning
Chief Clerk Brawlcy, In roaponae to
questions concerning the much-talked
of traffic In examination questions,
»al<l that very considerable progress
had been made In frustrating this
business, and that Superintendent
Cousins felt that when the new
school law shall take effect the traffic
will be stopped entirely.
The twenty-seventh legislature
passed an act. making It a misde-
meanor to sell, barter or give away
these examination questions In ad-
vince of examinations.
Quite a number of prosecutions
have taken place under this law, re-
sulting In many convictions. Superin-
tendent Lamox of Robertson county Is
said to have been very active In fer-
reting out the offenses and bringing
the offenders to justice.
Besides this the department of edu-
nation has canceled quite a large
number of certificates, thirty or forty
of them, within the past three months.
Mr. Brawley says this has been done
quietly. In addition methods have
boon adopted to make it practically
certain that the. questions shall fall
Into the hands of no person* save the
sworn officers of the law.
The new school law passed by this
legislature makes It. a misdemeanor
for any person to sell, barter or give
sway these questions to any person.
The law passed by the twenty-seventh
legislature limited the offense to sell-
Ing. bartering or giving away the ex-
amination question* to persons who
were applicants for certificates. So In
this respect alone the new law Is
much broader. The new law also
makes Is a misdemeanor to accept the
questions. Therefore, when thl* law
takes effect, the teachers who profit
by this advance Information can he
punished by fine as well as by can-
cellation Of their certificates. And it
ts believed that this will hold them
for a while,
Moat of the offenders detected up
to date were negroes, but there have
been some whites. It Is said that
when an examination was to be held,
the negro applicants would congre-
gate at the place a few days In ad-
vance; three or four smart negroes
would be on hand to supply them with
the questions and coach them. In
some Instances the intended appli-
cants would be assisted In preparing
their examination papers beforehand.
Then when they went Into the exam-
ination they would scribble away In-
dustriously, and after a time would
hide these new papers, dig up the
pa|>erg they had already prepared and
deliver them to the examiners. It
was a regular cinch.
A negro teacher who has attained
considerable notoriety in connection
with this traffic and who pleaded
guilty to the charge of selling ofllclal
questions Is quoted as saying that the
diatom of selling questions to negroes
has prevailed for several years past.
He said he thought It was not wrong
to Improge on a set of white men who
hadn't sense enough to know that the
average negro Couldn’t pass such ex-
aminations as had been aubmlttod un-
less be had the questions in advance.
He said the state had been divided
Into districts, each comprising sev-
eral counties, with headquarters and
district managers at Lufkin. Beau-
mont, Houston, Huntsville, Franklin
and otlu r points. These district man-
agars appointed county managers,
who made a personal canvas? of the
counties in advance of the examina-
tions, and reported to the district
managers the number of questions
sold .In each county. Then the coun-
ty manager would call upon the dis-
trict manager in person and receive
prepared set* of questions. Fre-
quently these question* were accom-
panied by prepared answers, for the
reason that the questions were sold
upon condition that the applicant
should pay If he passed, and In pro-
motion to the grade of certificate ob-
tained. it la said that the chief of
thl* syndicate moved out of the atata
to avoid prosecution.
ceding speaker. 11© said he had come
to KJ Paso In 1861 and had been pres-
ent at almost every exciting event fol-
lowing hig coming for many year*.
He also saw the killing of Judge Clark
and the San Ellzarlo riots.
Jury Excused to
Attend Horae Race.
Most of the excitement In thoae
days was caused by horse racing and
he recalled one time In particular
while he waa district Judge when the
jury In a murder case which he
was trying petitioned him to suspend
the case while they attended the horse
race that afternoon which promised
to be of more than ordinary Interest
He finally consented to do this on con-
dition that they go with the sheriff
and stay in hla charge while away.
This was agreed to. hot It seems that
the team of homes which pulled them
ran away throwing them out allowing
them to be separated. The upshot of
the whole matter was that a new
jury had to be faltered and the case
retried.
The horse race referred to In the
above, said Judge Slacker, was a con-
test between l,ucl<m B Maxwell’s
marc, ‘ Fly.’’ and Dowell’s “Kittle.”
Maxwell lived In northern New Mexico
and will be recalled by many because
of hla connection with the Maxwell
grant. He bad a mar,, whuch could
and did outrun every animal matched
against her tor a long time. Flnallv
he posted 266,006 In cash to back hla
mare against any running horse In the
world for 360 yards. Maxwell’s offer
was given wide publicity through the
papers and Ben Dowell took it np.
Dowell's mare, "Kittle,” won the race
and the trackers of *F!y* claimed that
she had entered the race lame and
that the course had been stretched
to 400 yards from 36". This waa the
race the Jury In a murder case peti-
tioned to be allowed to see and It la
said that enough money changed
hands oh the outcome to bny a small
state.
Following tbla atory by Mr. Blacker
a motion waa again made that the
meeting adjourn and this time It car-
ried.

Kansas City, Mo., April 26.—Only
18,060 cattle the first -three days of
tbla week, as compared with 26,600
the same days last week la quite a
relief to the market. A good steaJy
market described the situation Mon-
day and strong and active applied
yesterday. Today the market opened
with every appearance of strength,
but buyers had orders to get their
cattle cheaper so the market was not
only slow, but closed 10 cents lower.
Packers did not have a great surplus
of cattle at the end of last week and
the light, run this week, while it has
beneflated prices somewhat, packers
are not going to submit to another
big advance without serious opposi-
tion.
The loss laat week ranged from 20
to 50 cents on the various classes of
cattle, medium to common grades
suffering most, as they always do.
The best steers seen here this sea-
son sold yesterday at 26.80, probably
20 cents under what they would have
brought ten days ago at the highest
time. Bulk of corn fed steers sell at
25.40 to 26 25, and toppy heifers at
25.00 to 25.65. Bulk of cows and
heifers bring from 23.25 to 25.00,
veals, 25.00 to 26.00; bulla, 22.75 to
24.75; stockers and feeders, $3.25 to
$5.00. Stocker and feeder trade has
been dull lately, but rains over Kan-
sas this week helped business In this
line. Several shipments of hay fed
cattle from the west and northwest
were on the market yesterday and the
steers sold from 24-65 to 25.15 to the
killers, for weights from 1,000 to 1,140
pounds. Bulls in thes am eshipment
brought 23.00 to $3.60; cows from
22.75 to 25.00.
Hog prices are fluctuating consid-
erably this week, subject to influ-
ences besides the volume of receipts,
such as excited provisions and pan-
icky grain markets. Prices started
out higher Monday, closed with all
the gain lost, were 10 lower yesterday
and 5 to 10 lower today. Top today
25.35, bulk of sales near the to pat
25.20 to 25.321-2, light hogs up to

ing continuation of excellent weather
conditions, a degree of confidence on

been felt for some time past was in
evidence, Part of the bullish senti-
ment was attributed to the \ seeming
Indifference of holders of May, the
volume of trading in that option be-
ing very light throughout the session.
Another factor was the strength at
Minneapolis, resulting from a good
cash demand. Higher prices at Liv-
erpool formed a clincher in decisive-
ly establishing dominion bullish sen-
timent. On the other hand, the
weather conditions were decidedly
unfavorable to a bullish campaign.

New York. April 28.—Effective sup-
port today checked the demoralized
tone which threatened the market and
quieted the speculative > excitement

During the progross of recovery the

plunge there was tear that the fur-
ther prices declined the more pres-
sure there would be to aell stocks.
This apprehension was sufficiently
justified by the heavy liquidation
which waa caused by the uneasiness
throughout the country resulting from
the heavy declines of yesterday. With
