HOW TO PROTECT KEYES IN

San Yuentin, Cal., Feb. 9.—Should
former District Attorney Asa Keyes
of Los Angeles, convicted of accepting
bribes, be sent to San Quentin prison
he will prove a source of embarrass-
ment to prison authorities, Warden
James B. Holohan admitted today.
Even now, although Keyes is expect-
ed to appeal his conviction and take
the case to the courts of last resort,
prison officials are seriously consider-
in gwhere to put him.
“With) probably 50 per cent of the
prisoners here having been sent up
from Los Angeles and a great many
of them claiming that they were
‘railroaded’ by Keyes, the feeling
against him is so intensely bitter
that we will have to go to the extreme
to protect him from the other prison-
ers,” Holohan said.
“As about the only place where he
would be unmolested by other prison-
ers is the condemned row, it is proba-
ble that Keyes will be assigned a cell
in that section,” he said.
Coach Whitten of the local high
school basketball squad is working
the men overtime this week prepar-
ing for the District Basketball Tour-
nament that is to be held in the gym-
nasium of Southwestern University .at
Georgetown on Saturday, February
16th. Long hours of hard drilling are
taking place each afternoon, the fine
points of the game being studied
from every angle. Generally speak-
ing the Badgers are well acquainted
with the principles of the game, but
there are numerous little corners
that must be brushed up on before
they can hope to compete with the
strong teams of the district.
The coach is of the opinion that it
would be unwise for the team to take
part in another matched game before
the tournament, therefore, the entire
week will be utilized by consistent
hard practice.
Available information in Lampasas
leads one to believe that at the dis-
trict meet the local team will have
only two hard competitors, these be-
ing Georgetown and Pfluggerville. It
is understood that Pfluggerville is the
dark horse and probably will be the
dart in the side of both Georgetown
and the Badgers. Not having seen
this “dark horse” team in action,
first-hand information cannot be given
as to its strength. It is remembered
that before the recent game with
Copperas Cove it was thought that
only “next year’s Badgers” would be
seen in action, but soon after the
start of the game it was found nec-
essary to use the entire team strength
to decisively defeat that team. Using
this as an example, heed should be
taken; and no chances run in losing
to any of the teams, however weak
they are said to be, that the Badgers
find it their lot to oppose at the
tournament.
All Lampasas is behind Coach Whit-
ten and his team and believes that
they are going into the state finals,
and, of course, to do this they must
win the district championship.

MILLER’S WILL URGES
HOLDING RANCH INTACT
PROSECUTORS WIN OVER
GOVERNOR JOHNSTON
Oklahoma City, Okla., Feb. 11.—
Plunging without ceremony into its
major contention—that Henry S.
Johnston is not oempetent to remain
as governor of Oklahoma—the house
of representatives board of managers
today won three legal skirmishes in
its prosecution of Johnston before the
senate impeachment court.
Johnston’s trial on eleven articles
of impeachment preferred by the
house, opened this morning before
the senate court. By consent the
board of managers began presentation
of evidence on all charges, with that
of incompetence uppermost. The
charges will be voted upon separately
when all evidence has been taken.
Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Yates of San
Antonio are spending a few days
here in the home of Mr. and Mrs. E.
H. Roberts. Mr. Yates is a brother
of Mrs. Roberts.
Mrs. A. L. Higdon went to Hills-
boro Tuesday morning to see Mr.
Higdon, who is in a hospital in that
city. Mr. Higdon, who was injured
in an automobile accident about ten
days ago, is reported to be doing nice-
ly but will not be able to leave the
hospital for about a week yet.
Ponca City, Okla., Feb, 11.—Ex-
pressing the hope that the vast 101
ranch be held intact and naming Miss
Margaret Miller, his 17-year-old
daughter, as chief beneficiary, the will
of George L. Miller, who died a week
ago today in a motorcar accident, was
filed for probate.
The will, which will be probated on
February 26, estimates the value of
the estate at $500,000. His daughter
is to receive $4000 annually until she
is 30 years of age, when she will in-
herit virtually all her father’s prop-
erty. The will also provides liberally
for her education, insisting she be
given a thorough business training
and that she shall attend a finishing
school in the east.
The estate is divided into three sep-
arate trusts. The first involves his
own personal property; a second in-
cludes all oil properties belonging to
him, and the third concerns his one-
third interest in the 101 Ranch. This
third interest is to be dissolved at
the end of a ten-year period, when
the interest shall be sold, and the
preference rights to purchase given to
Zack Miller, brother, and two neph-
ews, Geo. W. and Jos. C. Miller. The
will also directed that all notes and
debts of relatives be cancelled.
Austin, Tex., Feb. 7.—The joint
resolution by Representative Thomp-
son of Houston proposing an amend-
ment to the constitution making
ministers of the gospel ineligible to
hold the governor’s office or places
in the legislature was voted down
by the house committee last night
after heated discussion.
Representative Anderson of San
Antonio was the only committeeman
voting to pass it out with the recom-
mendation that it pass. He said he
would sign a minority report and
Representative Woodruff of Decatur,
who voted against the resolution, said
he would join Anderson in bringing
it to the floor.
Woodruff made an impassioned ad-
dress in defense of Thompson’s action
in proposing the amendment. He
s.aid he resented statements impung-
ing Thompson’s • motive.
Representative Forbes of Parker
county said that although he had
been a minister of the gospel for 30
years he had never yet preached a
political sermon, or one on prohibition
for that matter, in his pulpit.
Representative Barnett said a
preacher had .as much right as any-
one to make a political speech out-
side his pulpit.
“When we bar them we will do
away with politics,” he said.

Austin, Tex., Feb. 8.—Representa-
tive Walter Acker was up Thursday
after an illness of about four weeks
and hoped to be back at his desk in
the house of representatives in a few
days, according to a letter received
from him by Speaker W. S. Barron.
Judge Acker wrote that he was
perturbed by a newspaper report
that he was dangerously ill. The fact
was, he said, that he is feeling much
better, and expected to resume his
legislative duties by the first of next
week.
The veteran lawmaker, who is past
85, was stricken with influenza dur-
ing the first few days of the present
session. He went to the Confederate
hospital here, and later to Seton In-
firmary.
He is the only Confederate veteran
in the legislature.
Chicago, Feb. 10.—Police of Zion
City raided a bakery here today and
uncovered a cache of home brew and
wine. It was the first liquor case on
record at the religious colony headed
by Wilbur Glenn Voliva, where even
use of tobacco is prohibited.
The raid was led by Chief of Police
Conrad A. Blume. Fifteen bottles of
beer and a quantity of wine were con-
fiscated. Roy E. McComb and his
wife, proprietors of the bakery, were
arrested.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 9.—The Wyo-
ming senate today defeated a measure
allowing women to serve on juries.
In debate itwaspointed out that Wyo-
ming, pioneer woman suffrage state,
had a law 58 years ago under which
women served on juries.
Senator D. A. Preston declared it
worked a hardship on husbands and
fathers who were summoned home
to care for babies and do the house-
work. He quoted a popular refrain
of that day:
“Baby, oh baby, don’t get in a fury,
Your mama’s been called to serve on
the jury.”
Child Dies of Burns.
Corsicana, Tex., Feb. 7.—Carlton
Greene Hodge, 6, died here last night

from the can onto the fire under a
wash pot at the farm home of his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Hodge,
near Corsicana.
