Governor to Face Procedure. To- main “wet.” fled today, when
ward Impeachment.
Austin, Texas, March 2.—Re-
presentative H. H. Davis of Van
Zandt county made it known to-
day that he would introduce a
resolution for the impeachment
of Governor Ferguson. He said
that the resolution had been
prepared and that it was his in-
tention to introduce it in the
house, probably at tomorrow’s
sessions. The - charges which
Mr. Davis said he would bring
against the chief executive are
similar to those contained in
the Johnson of Hall resolution
in the senate, with reference to
the Eastham farm and cam-
paign expenses eliminated. Mr.
Davis declared that no charges
of a political nature would be
contained in the resolution
which he proposes to otter in
the house. He said they would
relate to both the official and un-
official acts of the governor and
the deficiency expenditure of
the governor’s mansion. Gov-
ernor Ferguson has been in
formed of the proposed im
peachment resolution, but he
made no comment. Many mem-
bers of the house have express-
ed themselves as being i;i oppo-
sition to the proposed impeach-
ment proceedings.

Washington, March 2.—Prac-
tical elimination of Francisco
Villa as a factor in the Mexican
situation was reported to the
state department today from
two sources. An American con-
sul, whose name could not be

statement that Villa is practi-
C'.dly eliminated because of his:

Murguia, Carranza commander,
was quoted by another Ameri-
can official to the same effect.

no indication that Villa forces

A. & M. Bill.
Austin, March 2.—The West
Texas members of the house in-
troduced tonight a bill providing
that the president of the newly
created West Texas agricultural
and mechanical college must
have his residence at the place
where the college is located.
The bill was drafted by Bled-
soe of Lubbock in consultation
with Speaker Hudspeth, Bryant
of Haskell, Smith of Scurry and
others, its purpose being to
meet the question raised that
under the law as it now stands
President Bizzell of Agricultur-
al & Mechanical College at Bry-
an will be president of the new
institution.
The new bill amends section
four ofthe act recently passed to
read as follows:
“The government and direc-
tion of the policy and the con-
trol of the finances of such col-
lege shall be vested in the board
of directors of A. & M. College
of Texas. Said board shall ap-
point a president for the West
Texas A. & M. College, and
when necessary may appoint
such professors and other offi-
cers as they may think proper
to keep said college in successful
operation. The president of
said college shall maintain his
residence at the place where
such college is located during
the time of his presidency.”
word was quietly passed around
that the president would sign
the Sheppard bill, which will put
the District of Columbia in the
prohibition column
No More Ships to be Warned by
Submarines.
Rerlin, March 2 (Via London)
—The admiralty made the fol-
lowing announcement today:
“On March 1 expired the fin-
al period of grace allotted for
sailing ships in the Atlantic.
From this date no special warn-
ings will be given to any boats
by submarines.”
.possible. An incomplete poll of
the senate, .due to the fact that
there are several who are unde-
cided as to their course of action
when the bill is before them,
would indicate that the measure
has more than an even chance
of passing. In the opinion of
the author, there is no doubt of
its success. At any rate, a
strong fight will develop, it is
said, with a number of the
strongest members of the sen-
ate lined up on each side.

To Exterminate Jack Rabbits.
Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 28.—
Mayor Tyra is in receipt of a
letter from H. P. Simmons o'f
Roby, announcing that a jack
rabbit drive will take place in
Fisher county March 6, which is
expected to result in sweeping
that county clean of the long-
eared animals and incidentally
in the saving of several hundred
thousand dollars’ worth of grass
this spring, which will be eaten
by cattle instead-of by the rab-
bits.
In his letter, Mr. Simmons ex-
plains the county has been or-
ganized into about twenty dis-
tricts for the drive, and two cap-
tains placed in each, who will
organize the hunters in their
section.
If the weather happens to be
cool when the drive takes place
the Mayor is informed that the
rabbits will be shipped to Fort
Worth as a gift to the poor.
Mayor Tyra has replied to the
letter requesting that the dead
rabbits be shipped to the city in
burlap bags instead of in boxes
or barrels and advising that if
the weateher is warm it will be
useless to ship them at all.
Secretary Arnold of the May-
or’s office said today that he can
use 2,000 or 3,000 rabbits for
distribution here, the demand
for them being very great. A
few weeks ago 600 rabbits killed
at a drive in Wilbarger county
were sent here and given to the
poor. The number of applicants
exceeded the number of rabbits.
Two Arkansas Senators Ousted.
Little Rock, Ark. Feb. 28.—
State Senator I. V. Burgess and
S. C. Sims, indicted Monday on
charges of bribery, today were
expelled from the senate. The
vote on a resolution which de-
clared that bribery charges
against them had been sustain-
ed in an investigation by the
senate committee and ordering
them expelled was adopted by a
vote of 25 to 8.
Senators Burgess and Sims,
during consideration of the res-
olution by the senate, offered to
tender their resignations, effect-
ive immediately, if Senator
Bush, author if the resolution
would withdraw it. Senator
Bush refused.
Adoption of the resolution
forever bars them from mem-
bership in the Arkansas Legis-
lature.
Burgess is from Pope county
and Sims from Prairie county.

Arkansas Outdoes Texas.
Austin, Texas, March 1:—The
Lattimore bill providing that
women may vote in primary
elections, has become a law in
Arkansas, but the Texas Legis
lature has not even yet consid-
ered it. At the time of the in-
troduction of the bill by the
senator from Tarrant, he re-
ceived a letter from Represen-
tative Riggs of Hot Springs ask-
ing for a copy of the measure.
Senator Lattimore forthwith
forwarded a copy verbatim of
his proposed legislative action,
and it was pushed through the
Arkansas House of Representa-
tives by Mr. Riggs. Yesterday
the senate of that state finally
passed the bill by a vote of 17 to
15. All that is necessary is the
signature of the governor, then
the law will be on the statute
books.
It was the intention of the au-
thor to call the bill up in the
Texas senate several days ago,
but due to the importance of
pending legislation, the oppor-
tunity has not yet arisen, and it
is not yet on the calendar. He
declares, however, that he will
call it up at an early date and
push it through as quickly as
“Life is too short to spend in
hating anyone. Why war
against a mortal who is going
the same road you are ? Why not
spend the flowers of life and
happiness by learning to love,
by teaching those who are near
and dear a beautiful lesson?
Your hands may be hard but
your heart need not be Our
Our form may be bent and ugly,
but do you know that the most
beautiful flower grows in the
most rugged, unsheltered places
The palace for care, the cottage
for love. Not that there is no
love in a mansion, but somehow
if we are not very careful, busi-
ness will crowd all there is of
beauty out of the heart. This is
why God has given the Sabbath
and Saturday nights, that we
may leave business and have a
little heart cleaning.”—Author

$5,000,000 Episcopal Pension
Fund Raised.
Chicago, 111., March 1.—Suc-
cessful completion of the cam-
paign of the Episcopal church
for a $5,000,000 pension fund
for aged and dependent pastors
and their dependents was an-
nounced today.
Oh, Woman.
Oh, woman, in thine hours of
ease, uncertain, coy and hard to
please, why do you always make
complaint and yearn to be just
what you aint’. Why is it pray,
if you are lean as is the pole
where twines the bean you’ll
send away for this and that for
t’other things to make you fat?
And why if you are round and
plump, do you prefer to roll and
jump, and chortle with a glee-
ful sound if you take off but ialf
a pound? And why if nature
has blessed you with hair as
black as raven’s breast, will you
for the peroxide reach and souse
your tresses in the bleach ? Pray
tell me why, if you were born
with yellow locks like ripened
corn, you’ll never rest until your
head is frescoed black or brown
or red. Oh charming one, is it
106 Dogs Killed at McGregor.
McGregor, Feb. 27.—A bak-
er’s half dozen of the more in-
telligent dogs of McGregor are
in hiding today, warned by the
slaughter of 106 canines of less
mental capacity during the past
week by city authorities follow-
ing a mad dog scare which sent
a thrill of horror through the
whole town.
There probably are not half a
dozen dogs left in McGregor to-
day. There have been killed tto
date 106 dogs and of these twen-
ty-six were killed in one day.
The mad dog which caused the
wholesale slaughter of dogs bit
six person, all of whom were
sent to the Pasteur Institute in
Austin for treatment, and the
mad dog’s head was sent there
for examination, the official re-
port being that the dog was
afflicted with rabies. The dog al-
so bit a horse and a mule.
