TEXAS LEGISLATOR CALLS
EXTRA SESSION
Wichita Fallas, Texas, . Oct. 9.—
Representative A. H. King of Throck-
morton, Friday published a call for
an extraordinary session of the State
Legislature at Austin on Nov. 2.
“My decision to call an extraordi-
rary session of the Legislature,” add-
< d Representative King, “came to me
r hursday morning after I had read
] eadlines in newspapers of that date,
< ronicling events in our State affairs,
mong them, of course, was the deci-
5 Ion of the district court in Harris
County to enjoin a contract let by the
State Highway Commission.”
King added that he felt fully with-
in his constitutional rights in issuing
the call and expressed himself as con-
fident that the majority of the mem-
bers of the Legislature would join him
in convening at Austin for the special
session on the date he has designated.
“I have been in Seymour through-
out today,” said Representative King,
“and so have not received any mes-
sages either by telephone or wire, in-
dicating to me the response which
will meet my call, but when I return
home I am sure I shall find I have
sufficient support for the extraordi-
nary session expressed to me through
communications sent me there.’
Representative J. D. Avis said Fri-
day that he knew nothing of the call
and that he was opposed to an extra-
ordinary session at this time with the
information before hm.
State Senator J. D. Parnell said
that he had heard of a movement for
call for a special session by members
of the Legislature but thta he was
taking no payt in it.
WALTON AND BOYETT
CONFER WITH GOVERNOR
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 8.—T. 0. Wal-
ton, newly elected president of the
A. & M. College, and W. C. Boyett of
Bryan, member of the board of di-
rectors, were here Wednesday and
conferred with Gov. Ferguson regard-
ing Collegematters and paying their
respects on Mr. Walton’s first visit
since his election. No matters of ma-
jor importance were under considera-
tion.
Mr. Walton said .that for the first
time in many years the College has
no women among its students; that
last year there were about fifty en-
rolled. The College is a military
school and supposed to be non-co-
oducational, but a custom started of
permitting daughters of faculty mem-
bers to enroll and do college woi'k.
This practice' grew until distant lines
of kinship were invoked to permit
the attendance of women, with the re-
sult that the board decided to enforce
. the rule and bar all girls. The daugh-
ter of Dr. Bizzell, retiring president,
attended the University of Texas.
A further statement by Mr. Wal-
ton was that the number of Federal
students would be largely reduced
this year; that there were 150 last
year and the number may drop to
twenty-five, or even less.
Notwithstanding the elimination, of
the women and the reduction in Fed-
eral students, the total enrollment is
at 2,100, approximately the same as
last year. Numbers of students from
the drouth-stricken districts did not
return, otherwise there would have
been a material increase.
DISMISSAL DENIED
OF MARTIN CASES
DALLAS, Tex., Oct. 13.—County
Attorney Elbert Hooper, Denton coun-
ty, came to Dallas Tuesday and em-
phatically denied reports that he had
agreed with Attorney Maurey Hughes,
for the defense, to dismiss 14 indict-
ments pending in Denton County
against Martin, charging robbery
with firearms, assault to murder and
other felony crimes.
Hooper declared here Tuesday that
he “would not dismiss any indictment
pending in Denton County against
W. A. Martin but on the other hand I
will prosecute him in the bank rob-
bery cases and in cases charging as-
sault in disguise.” In denying that
he had made any sort of agreement to
dismiss the felony cases against Mar-
tin, Hooper said he had refused such
a proposal when it was made to him.
TWO DEATHS AT OAKALLA
Miss Mabel Gray, who has been af-
flicted for some time, died Tuesday-
night at her home in Oakalla.
The two-year-old daughter of Mr,
and Mrs. Oscar Langford died Tues-
day night, flux being the cause of
her death. The family lives on the
Edgar Smith ranch at Oakalla.
