Move For Special Session
Legislature Is Under Way
AUSTIN, Tex., April 13.—A move-
ment to guarantee Governor Fergu-
son that no political or other investi-
gations would be attempted if she
calls a special session of the Legisla-
ture was inaugurated here Monday by
Representative H. T. Brown of Cher-
okee county. Mr. Brown is using this
means to call upon every member of
the Legislature to write him at Jack-
sonville pledging on their honor not to
start any investigation or political
movement during the Legislature if
called in special session, but to attend
strictly and exclusively to the business
which the Governor may submit.
Coincident with the call it became
known Monday that Mr. Ferguson had
informed intimates that the Governor
would like to call a special session for
several purposes but does not propse
to have it turned into a “political
medicine-making session.” This was
told members of the Legislature with
the added statement that it was en-
tirely probable that a call would be
made after the primary election, pro-
viding the courts hold, in the mean-
time, that the Legislature can vali-
date road bonds and provide for the
issuance of valid road securities.

San Antonio Boys arid Girls
Charged With Disturbance
San Antonio, Texas, April 9.—With
charges of being drunk and disturb-
ing the peace against them, 13 boys
and girls were hauled into police head-
quarters Thursday after a chase and
a fistic frolic that ended on East Com-
merce street.
Three automobile loads constituted
the party.
With the arrival of the emergency
squad, one of the three automobiles
was caught, the others escaping, but
only after their numbers were ob-
tained.
Later two cars were found on East
Commerce street and some of the oc-
cupants were doing battle. One of
the girls had her clothes torn to
shreds and had received a black eye.
When booked at headquarters it
was discovered that three of the boys
and all of the girls were of prominent
families.

BACKACHE IS A WARNING!
Lampasas Folks are Learning How
to Heed It.
Are you miserable with an aching
back ? Do you get up lame and stiff;
drag through the day feeling tired,
weak and depressed? Then you should
help your kidneys. Backache is often
the first sign of failing kidneys. Uri-
nary troubles quickly follow. Neg-
lected, there’s danger of gravel, drop-
sy, or fatal Bright’s disease. Don’t
wait for serious kidney sickness! Use
Doan’s Pills, • a stimulant diuretic to
the kidneys, before it is too late. A
resident cf this locality tells an ex-
perience:
Mrs. L. 0. Stephens, Goldthwaite,
Tex., says: “I highly recommend
Doan’s Pills as they have brought
me a great deal of relief when my
back has been sore and lame and my
kidneys have been sluggish.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
Stephens had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

WASHINGTON, April 12.—Rigid
enforcement of the dry laws and op-
position to their modification were
the keynotes sounded at the opening
session here Sunday of the Woman’s
National Committee for Law Enforce-
ment.
Monday the delegates who have
assembled for a three-day session
will descend upon the Senate prohi-
bition hearing committee to give offi-
cial voice to their demands.
A message from President Coolidge
and an address by Mrs. Henry W.
Peabody of Beverly, Mass., chairman
of the committee, formed the high
lights of the opening session of the
conference at which a score or more
of women’s organizations—temper-
ance, civic, church, welfare and educa-
tional—are represented.
“Please convey my greetings to the
members of. the Woman’s National
Committee for Law Enforcement,”
said the President’s message. “This
earnest manifestation of interest in
enforcement of law is gratifying.
Such interest on the part of those
citizens not officially connected with
the execution of law is heartening to
those charged with that responsi-
bility.”
In her opening address Mrs. Pea-
body scored “politicians and liberal-
ists,” declaring that their propaganda
and the recent agitation in Congress
are responsible for the letting down
of authority in the nation.
“We do not find our great popula-
tion of good, Christian church people,
Bible classes, young people’s organi-
zations, leagues and guilds carrying
hip flasks,” she added. “This is con-
fined to a comparatively small group
and we must remember that it takes
a great many hip flasks to make a
saloon.
“The constitution has met attacks
before and will survive when the men
who have made a personal liberty
rather than a national loyalty their
aim, have passed into oblivion.”
Suspects of Valera Bank
Robbery Are Detained
ABILENE, Texas, April 12.—Two
men and a woman are being held here
for Coleman county officers in con-
nection with the robbery of the First
State Bank of Valera last Monday
afternoon. The arrests were made by
Sheriff H. T. O’Bar and Deputy Meeks
at a local automobile agency Thurs-
day morning while the purchase of a
car was being negotiated. About two
thousand in currency was taken from
one of the men.
One - of the men flashed a gun on
Sheriff O’Bar but the officer placed

permitted to return to her home at
Cisco Thursday afternoon.

CAMP MARLAMONT SCHOOL
We have always been told that
“April showers bring May flowers,”
and if that be true we should have
an abundance of May bouquets. The
rain and cool weather has set back
spring activities, but just think how
we were wanting just srfth weather
this time last year. If it is not raining
we want the sun to shine, if the sun
is shining we want the rain, if it
is hot we want it cold and when it is
cold we want it hot. In other words
we are hard to satisfy and it is for
the best of all concerned that we have
no control over the weather condi-
tions.
C. G. Truitt, who has been associat-
ed with Dr. J. V. Brown for several
years, is now in Lampasas working
in the interest of Camp Marlamont.
Mr. Truitt spoke at the Baptist
prayer meeting Wednesday night
and at the high school chapel exer-
cises Friday morning. He is stopping
at the Scott Hotel and will be glad
to meet prospective patrons and stu-
dents. Those interested should tele-
phone him at the hotel.
Mrs. Matthews and Superintendent
Toone of the Lampasas schools will
teach in the camp school. They will
be glad to receive the names of child-
ren who may be interested in attend-
ing school to make up back work or
pursue advanced, studies.
Camp Marlamont is an asset to
the town of Lampasas and should re-
ceive the hearty support of all citi-
zens who are interested in the de-
velopment of the town and commu-
nity. Many other towns would be
glad to have this school.

80-Year Old Convict Is
Granted Full Pardon
AUSTIN, Texas, April 8.—T. A.
Calhoun, 80 years old, who escaped
from the penitentiary in June, 1881,
nearly forty-five years ago, where he
was serving a two-year term for cat-
tle theft in McLennon county, and
who, since his escape, has lived under
the name of A. T. Dozier, according
to the Board of Pardons, appeared in
Austin a few days ago and was
granted a full and unconditional par-
don by Governor Miriam A. Ferguson
on recommendation of the pardon
board, signed by both members, S. P.
Sebastian and J. M. Aldredge. At
the time of his escape he had served
two months of his sentence.
Since his escape, Calhoun has rear-
ed a family of four children. His wife
is 75 years old. He served in the
Confederate Army, Company C, 13th
Texas Cavalry, enlisting at Crockett.
In making recommendation for clem-
ency the Board of Pardons wrote the
Governor as follows,
“This board has talked to the old
man fully about this matter and has
questioned him at length and he has
willingly and cheerfully answered any
and every question we have asked
him and has not attempted to evade
anything but comes and opens up his
heart and told things just as they
are. The prison record shows bis
birthplace was in South Carolina, but
the old man contends that is an error
and that he is a native Texan.
“The conclusion of this board is
that no good whatever can be accom-
plished by consigning this old man,
who is now past 80 years of age, back
to the penitentiary, especially in view
of the fact that he has lived the life
of an upright, honorable man since
his escape, according to the record
before us.
“We therefore, recommend that T.
A. Calhoun, who has for forty-five
years been living under the assumed
name of A. T. Dozier, be not remand-
ed back to the penitentiary but that
executive clemency be granted him to
the extent of a full and unconditional
pardon, and we so recommend.”
Calhoun, since his escape from the
Texas prison, has lived the greater
part of his time in Louisiana.

STATE DEMOCRATIC COMMIT-
TEE MEETS AT WICHITA FALLS
AUSTIN, Texas, April 7.—The.next
meeting of the State Democratic ex-
ecutive committee will be held at
Wichita Falls on June 14, it was an-
nounced here Wednesday by Judge
Arthur R. Eidson of Hamilton, state
chairman. This will be the first time
the state committee has ever met in
Wichita Falls or that far north. It
has met in El Paso. The date of the
meeting is fixed by statute and chair-
man Eidson said no special session
would be called earlier than the June
meeting.
Judge Eidson said the purpose of
the Wichita Falls meeting will be
to certify to county chairmen the
names and residences of all candidates
for state offices to go on the official
primary ballot and also probably to
name the place for holding the state
democratic convention. The first pri-
mary election is on July 24, and the
state convention on Sept. 7.
While in Austin Judge Eidson au-
thorized a statement of his position
as state chairman with reference to
excluding republicans from the demo-
cratic primaries, agitation over which
has started as a result of some party
men favoring the exclusion of those
who voted for Dr. Butte for governor
in 1924. The statement of the state
chairman sets at rest the rumore that
the state committee might attempt to
keep out the Butte demos.
Mrs. John Seiders and Mrs. Ford
of San Saba were in town Friday
morning on business. They are with
the Garner-Alvis Co., in San Saba.
E. D. Green and little son, Bob,
left Friday morning for Cameron
where they will visit with relatives.

LIQUOR PURCHASER IS NOT
ACCOMPLICE, COURT HOLDS
AUSTIN, Texas, April 8.—An offi-
cer who buys liquor from a man and
later has him prosecuted on the evi-
dence thus obtained is not an accom-
plice, the Court of Criminal Appeals
held Wednesday in affirming the case
of Jody Blanks convicted in Kerr
county of selling liquor and sentenced
to one year. The appellant contend-
ed that the only witness for the State
was an officer of the law and had pur-
chased the whiskey to induce the de-
fendant to make the sale so that the
defendant might be trapped into a
violation of law and that the officer
therefore became an accomplice “be-
cause he aided and advised and en-
couraged the commission of the of-
fense.” The higher court held the
appellant’s contention without merit,
because the statute provided that a
purchaser is not an accomplice.
