Memphis, Nov. 3.—Tragedy over-
took a party of three nimrods who
were first on the Mississippi river at
the opening of duck hunting season in
this region. John'C. McLemorc, Jr.,
deputy clerk of Shelby county, was
drowned. Joe T. Sullivan, a broker
and Louis Kathman, mechanic, other
members of the party were saved
largely through the heroism of Kath-
man, who fought with the United
States marines during the war and
who was wounded seven times in
France,
The small launch in which the
party went on the river began leak-
ing Saturday night when about 12
miles from Memphis.
"It was dark,” said Kathman,
"when we looked into the hull and
it was half filled with water.
Austin, Nov. 2.—The commission-
er of agriculture is without author- i
ity to purchase automobiles for use
in the service of the State and pay
for them out of the traveling ex-
pense appropriated or from the con- 1
tingent appropriation, according to
a ruling given by Assistant Attor-
ney General C. L. Stone.
Commissioner George B. Terrell
desired to purchase two small curs,
and asked the attorney general for
an opinion. He also asked if he had
authority to purchase gasoline for
the use of State cars from the Gulf
Refining Co. under its contract
with the State and have it charged
to the Department of Agriculture
and paid monthly from the traveling
expense account. In answer to the
latter inquiry Stone said that in ab-
sence of information as to the
terms and provisions of the con-
tract referred to he was not pre-
pared to give an opinion.
It was held that the appropriation
for the Department of Agriculture
does not contain any item or pro-
vision from which the Commission-
er could use the funds for the pur-
chase of motor "vehicles for use of
the department unless it be the item
of traveling expenses, amounting to
$20,000. Railings have heretofore
been made that the State Game,
Fish and Oyster Department and
the State Health Department were
not authorized to use appropria-
tions for traveling expenses for the
purchase of motor vehicles.
“If the Legislature had intended
that the Department of Agriculture
should purchase automobiles to be
used by that department ns a
means of transportation, it is our
opinion it would have said so in
plain terms,” Judge Stone said.
“Such purchases, involving as they
do, fbe expenditure of large sums
of money, and such purchases, pro-
viding as they do, at least to a cer-
tain extent, for future traveling
expenses, as. distinguished from
those which havfc already been in-
curred, it is our opinion that the
language used by the Legislature in
making an appropriation for the

Sunday from his fourth floor room

scores of passersby, killed him in-

But not one really
anywhere will try to force any stu-1

lieve this or any other conclusion
that cannot be demonstrated in a |
concrete way.
“To decide by a majority vote of
the people or of the legislature that
any of these questions shall not be j
investigated would be folly of the |
rankest kind. It would prove beyond I
a shadow of n doubt the alleged !
asininity of our part of the human]
race. Left to a majority vote, Chris-

scientific discovery of all time
would have been lost. Any law that j
denies any of the people anywhere j
access to any available information,
through their public school teachers ;
or otherwise, is a law that points in
the direction of political and eco-
nomic slavery.”

disaster .to a number of ships in

which prevailed yesterday and last
night.
Difficulty of radio communica-
tion retarded complete information
of the conditions of ships caught in
the storm, but it was indicated that
ithe AjnericHn freight steamer Al-
giers was a victim of fire and was
abandoned by her crew, of which
kp tracf had been found late today.
' A British steamer broke a rudder
two hundred miles off the Virginia
coast and was in tow of another
British vessel.
A schooner has been located off

Naval authorities were at a loss
to interpret the message because

ship far off the course and perhaps

Washington, Nov. 3.—An inter-
esting contribution to the argument
as to whether prohibition has de-
creased or increased crime in the
United States was furnished today
by the Department of Justice, when
ft was announced that the Federal
prison population t in the United
States was increased approximately
15 per cent from June 30, 1924 to
June 30, 1925.
About 8,620 prisoners are now
confined in the Federal penal insti-
tutkmi, taxing their capacity to
such an extent that arrangements
for completing two new authorized
prisons are being rushed. The in-
crease over 1924 was 850.
A woman’s penal farm will be es-
tablished atAlderson, W. Va., while
a first offender’s prison for men is
planned at Camp Sherman, Chilli-

Girard, Kn a.,Nov. 3.—Miss Da-
vis, 19, of Midway, was justified in
killing her step-father, Audie Fau-
cet, last spring, a jury in the Craw-
ford county District court decided
Tuesday afternoon. She was found
not guilty of murder.
Faucet waa shot and killed as he
sat in a chair in his home last May.
The girl, who was found at the
home of a neighbor, admitted she
had killed him. In the trial she
pleaded she killed him in self de-
fense. For a period of two years,
she said, she had been subjected to
ill treatment nt his hands. W’hen
she objected to his demands, he
threatened to kill her, she testified,
and went into another room where
she knew he had a gun and a razor.
The girl said she went to another
part of the house and obtained a
shotgun. Returning, she found her
step-father sitting in a chair. With-
out waiting for a further move on
his part ehe shot him. The jury was
out an hour and fifteen minutes.
