1 belief. Under the present law, j would have been 59 years old on the
eighteenth day of February.
Besides Mrs. Denby, their daugh-
ter, Marian, 13 years old, was in the
apartment at the time. A son, Edwin
Jr., 16, is a student at the Severn
School in Maryland. Three brothers,
Charles Denby of Washington, Wythe
avits must be based upon lcnow-
ge that the law has been violated

Kenyon told the house it should
ve the nerve to say to the W.C.T.U.
the Anti-Saloon League: “We’re
t going to let you choke down our
oats a law that would permit vio-
ion of our homes by any peace offi-
DIFFERENTCOUNSEL
TO REPRESENT BECKY
“We ought to jsass a law,” he said,
at would really assist officers in
~orcing the liquor laws. But I tell
u the reason many of them don’t
force the law now is not because
ey can’t, but because they don’t
nt to.”
In closing the argument, H. N.
aves of Georgetown told the house
at “if he (Kenyon) wants to cuss
t the constables in Galveston county
t ’im cuss ’em. God knows he
eds some constables down there
at are not rotten.”
He denied that the W.C.T.U. had
ntimidated” any man.
Answering a question from Kenyon
admitted that the proposed amend-
ent would do away with the neces-
ty of a sale to precede issuance of
search warrant.

Apparently In Good Health.
A huge, rock-like figure of a man,
Denby apparently was in his usual
good health when he retired Thursday
night. Only recently he had under-
gone a physical examination and been
pronounced in good condition.
A love for the sea was deeply in-
grained in “Ned” Denby, as his friends
Called him. His father was at one
time United States minister to China,
but Denby insisted upon enlisting in
the navy during the Spanish-American
war as a plain gob—a gunner’s mate,
third class, on the U. S. S. Yosemite.
Came the world war and Denby en-
listed as a leatherneck, a private
in the marine corps, from, which he
was mustered out as a major.
Austin, Tex., Feb. 10.—Counsel who
defended Mrs. Rebecca Bradley Rog-
ers, former University of Texas co-ed,
at her trial at La Grange on a charge
of robbery of the Farmers National
Band at Buda, will not be in the case
when it comes up for second trial,
according to John D. Gofer of Austin.
Gofer was leading counsel for Mrs.
Rogers and after her conviction with
sentence of 14 years, he continued
with the case until the court of crim-
inal appeals reversed the judgment
and ordered a new trial on the grounds
primarily that the prosecuting attor-
ney made improper remarks in his
closing argument to the jury.
Cofer said Saturday that he and
other attorneys for the defense had
now withdrawn from the case, and
that Mrs. Rogers, at her next trial,
would be defended solely by her hus-
^ band, Otis Rogers, now residing at
! Fort Worth. The case is expected to
be called at the; April term of the
district court at La Grange.
Otis Rogers, a graduate of the law
school of the University of Texas, was
living at Amarillo at the time of
the Bud.a robbery and not until after
the arrest of Rebecca Bradle:/, was it
publicly known that the couple was
married. Rogers hastened to Austin
to defend his wife. '
WOULD TEAR UP HIS
RESIGNATION, VEATCH TOLD
j
Austin, Tex., Feb. 10.—“If you hand
me your resignation, I am going to j
tear it up,” said Gov. Dan Moody to j
Representative John H. Veatch of!
Joshua, Johnson county, when the
latter attempted to .resign in disgust I
at the house voting a new experiment
station and, as he sees it, a disposi- I
tion to create more jobs, bureau . a: ’
commissions.
Governor Moody added, to his seri- |
ous statement a pleasantry, saying) j
“And if you leave Austin I am going
to send the sergeant-at-arms after
you.”
Mr. Veatch feels much better after
his interview with the governor and
the speaker and has been persuaded
to hold his seat in the house, which
he tried to surrender on Saturday.
Informally Sunday, Mr. Veatch con-
tinued to criticize the “book farming
experts,” and compared his own suc-
cess as a pratcical farmer to some
of the failures when he followed their
advice.

COMMITTEE APPROVES
LEGISLATIVE PAY RAISE
Austin, Tex., Feb. 8.—The house
constitutional amendments committee
has reported favorably a resolution
by G. Y. Lee of Eden, submitting a
constitutional change providing 120-
day sessions of the legislature and
raising the pay of the legislators to
$10 a day.
A house measure by Representative
B. E. Quinn was reported unfavorably
providing for four-year terms of all
elective officers. The committee also
killed a similar senate resolution by
Mr. Parr that had passed the senate.
Another resolution by Representative
Richardson ,authorizing the legisla-
ture to fix salaries of its members,
was killed.
Rep. F. H. Prendergast’s resolution
authorizing the state to issue high-
way bonds at the rate of $10,000,000
a year for ten years was reported un-
favorably.
The committee ended its night’s
slaughter of proposed constitutional
amendments by reporting unfavorably
a resolution by representative Ray
Holder of Lancaster authorizing the
levying of a county-wide school tax
of 20c to create an equalization fund
for all schools in the county.
SHEEP AND GOAT RAISERS
FAIL TO GIVE HELP
CHIEF CAUSES OF AUTO
ACCIDENTS ARE LISTED
Chicago, Feb. 8.—Six violations of
the law are credited with being the
most common causes of automobile
accidents. The official report of New
York state, which the Chicago Motor
Club cites as typical, showed during
last year the most common violations
were: Did not have the right of way,
42 per cent; on the wrong side of the
road, 16 per cent drive off roadway,
10 per cent failed to signal, 6 per
cent; cutting in, 6 per cent; other
violations, 7 per cent.
Weekly Leader, $1.50 Year.
Marble Falls, Tex., Feb. 8.—The
Burnet County Wolf Club is receiving
such poor support from the sheep
and goat men of Burnet county that
it will be necessary to reduce the
bounty on wolves and cats or disband
the club. There have been 7 wolves
caught since the last assessment,
which was levied on August 1, 1928.
Wildcats have been brought in at
the rate of ten or twelve a week. The
assessment is only 3c per head on
sheep and 2c per head on goats. The
wolves are reduced now, but if the
goat and sheep men stop paying the
bounty, only a few years will pass
before the wolves will be so numer-
ous that running sheep and goats as
they are now will be out of the ques-
tion.
OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR’S
SECRETARY RESIGNED
Oklahoma City, Ok., Feb. 6.—Mrs.
O. O. Hammonds, confidential secre-
tary to Henry S. Johnston, suspend-
ed governor, about whom Oklahoma
political storms have revolved for two
years, announced her resignation on
Wednesday night.
The announcement camp as the
house of representatives investigat-
ing committee was making inquiries
into her activities in the governor’s
office along a line that recalled a pur-
ported impeachment charge voted by
members of the house against John-
ston in December, 1928, in connection
with Mrs. Hammond’s employment.
At that time Johnston was charged
with the creation of an office fox*
which there was no statutory provis-
ion. The title borne by Mrs. Ham-
monds was coined in the governor’s
office. Mrs. George Wray, clerk in
the governor’s office, told the com-
mittee Wednesday night that Mrs.
Hammonds received her pay from an
appi’opriation made for the employ-
ment of an executive clerk.
