VOTERS FLOCK
TO HEAR BUTTE
Negro Vote and
Texas University
Are Discussed
Cl.KBlRXE, Tex it«. Oct. 31—On
I>p. (ieorge C. Butte'ts wwing out of
Fwhuhdii » botue county mid into
John*oti county, he nnoke at Cleburne
Friday afternoon. The crnwdx con*
tinue to (trow l»ir(jer. The republican
nominee for governor spoke at the
courthouse here Friday nfternoon to
n packed room. Over 1000 were pres-
ent aud fullv 3<>0 were turned away.
The candidate left Cleburne after
4 o'clock by automobile, expecting to
reach Athens, 10<t mile* away, in time
to deliver an addreva Friday night.
-Dr. Butte again brought out his
charge thai Ferguson is attempting
to corral the negro vote. He read
excerpt* from negro newspapers,
reading him (Hutte) out of the run-
ning and declaring their bUpfiort for
MO. Fefsuaon. -
"Somehow. Mr. Ferguson or his fol-
lowers have been able to buy up or
gain controT'oT these race papers.
1 >r. Hutte charged.
"Did you ever see n democratic
politician in such desperate wtraits
that lie was forced to even take the
colored vote away fnmi a poor repub-
lican V"
Cheer* and applause which came
frequently throughout the address
were prolonged at this last assertion.
I»r. Unite . went on into a definition
of Ferguson's position in stumping
the State, declaring that the mask is
now off, that tlie voters know who his
(Hutt»'s) real opponent is. In this
connection he nlluded to Ferguson as
a bankrupt politician running for of-
fice in his wife's nume. lie went a
step further to make his t»oint
stronger and declared that the su-
preni" court, in passing upon the
validity of Ferguson'* impeachment,
entered the fiual adjudication of Fer-
guson's |Militical bankruptcy.
Colonel A. 1*. Wooldridge. for
many years mayor of Austin, intro-
duced Dr. Butte and declared that lie
fell honored and very much gratified
that lie had been selected to preseut
the speaker. He >aid lie hail known
Dr. hutte for years and that he was
an exemiilnry. Christian gentleman—
respected by the university faculty and
revered by the students.
"I have voted for every democratic
nominee since | have been old enough
lo vote." Colonel Wooldridge shouted,
"but 1 can not vote for the present
democratic nominee.
"There are two reasons for this.
First, my personal self-respect, and.
second. I am not going to bring dis-
grace =tn my State by so doing."
"Thank <»od there is always a man
brought out in a crisis such as this
one." ,lnd>e .7. M. Moore, vho pre-
sided. declared, adding that "there is
> e» a way to save Texas" and said
that thia way was through supporting
Dr. Butte.
Following the introduction, the
crowd went wild, applauding for sev-
eral seconds. When Dr. Butte began
speaking he said that he was grateful
for snch n large crowd. "No
man i*' more conscious than 1 ant,
not only of my limitations, but of the
fact that 1 am a nobody in Texaa poli-
tics," he said. He said this large
crowd had been aroused, just like
scores of other snch towns, over the
P'-ril fa'-ing Texas today, and that
this peril had literally started a polit-
ics! revolution throughout the State.
"The people of Texas are thinking
and that s all I ask them to do. And
a great majority of these thinkers
have already made up their minds.
"Van can talk to any traveling man.
any railroad conductor, any man who
has his hand oil the pulse of Texas,
and he will tell you what's going to
happen on the 4tli of November."
Dr. Butte then read straw polls
showing his candidacy far in the lead
of Mrs. Ferguson in several parts of
tbe State. With the announcement of
these figures, the house broke into
the loudest ami most prolonged ap-
plause of the afternoon.

tere»t to tjreat Britain than to Mex-
i<"o. Jieneral Calles said he had not
come in auy conclusion as to whether
a conservative in England would be
imire or less favorable to resuming
relatixnK with his country than with a
labor pleader.
Kelntions of Mexico with the
l"Jiiteu Stale*. Hip president-elect said,
were ''excellent, most frank and most
cardial."
;The exchange of activities between
the countries, he added, was ever in-
creasing due to "a growing cordiality,
understanding and friendship."
Asked whether application of the
HonrOe doctrine might affect the
Mexican-British tangle, he replied
that "Mexico is a sovereign country
and will discuss its own questions."
At the same time he declared himself
n favor of a Pan-American policy, as
of great advantage to all countries
•oncerned.
Outlining his future policy as presi-
»nt of Mexico, (ieneral Calles said
0 would strive above all for greater
o woiiKi hi rive ttbovr all for kith tor
duration among all Hansen of Mexi-
»n» ai well as the general economic
etterment of the people of Mexico.

cell. Mrs. llauptrief seemed well
and in good spirits. Later in ihe eve-
ning Mrs. Magruder went for a ride
and Mrs. llauptrief was to have re-
tired for the night.
Friday morning when Deputy Ma-
gruder went to the cell with Mrs.
Hauptrlef's breakfast he found her
dead body hanging to the iron bars
of the cell door.
Mrs. llauptrief had prepared her-
self for the end. She had on her,
best apparel and her hair was dressed
neatly. Her small suit case was placed
beneath her and from this she stepped
off for the fatal fall.
Her first attempt was not success-
ful. A band of domestic lay torn in
two on the floor. She was found with
a similar band of domestic bound
round her neck and fastened to the
bars.
Justice of the Peace A. M. Ramsey
held the inquest at the jail Friday
morning Mrs. Hauptrief's body is
being held at Roger's undertaking
parlors. William llauptrief. her hus-

said: "Dear brothers and sisters and
Olivia: I will write you all a few lines
more. Be good to your papa and
Lenora. And Olivia, after papa dies
you take Lenora and raise her like
your own child.
"All my furniture and all the goods
belongs to Lenora after your papa is
dead. Yesterday and today T didn't

car. White said, the men made him
walk out. into the woods and tied his
hands and feet with wire.
Then they made him drink half n
pint of some kind of liquid that
smelted like whiskey, but had a very
bitter taste.
Shortly after drinking the liquid,
he said, he lapsed into unconscious-
ness.

said, he worked his hands loose front
the wire bindings and started toward
Ihe road, crawling through the brush
on his hands and knees.
Finally, on reaching the ditch at
the edge of the road, he said, he fell
in a state of semi-consciousness and
lay there until picked up by Mr. Jor-
dan. He was taken directly to St.
Joseph's infirmary, where his condi-

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2
3 to 5 P.M.
NEW CABINET
TAKESFORM
P e r s onnel of Eng-
land's New Govern-
ment Being Chosen
LONDON, Oct. 31.—The events in
the political world for next week as
at present conceived are that King
George will return to London on
Monday from Sandringham castle;
that the MacDonald cabinet will meet
on Tuesday to review the report
of the committee appointed to ex-
amine into the authenticity of the
ZLnoviefF letter, and that Premier
MacDonald then will present the res-
ignation of his government to the
king who will summon Stanley Bald-
win. leader of the conservatives, to
form a new cabinet. The remainder
of the week would then be employed
by Mr. Buldwin in constructing a new
conservative government.
There already is much speculation
over the allocation of portfolios and
especially over the question whether
Lord Curzon will return to the for-
eign office. According to some re-
ports Curzon will not come back to
the office of his former labors, in
which case it is possible the port-
folio might be offered to J. Austen
Chamberlain, or even to the former
liberal foreign secretary. Viscount
Grey. The choice of Viscount Grey,
ftjougb it is considered unlikely, would
noy. in the minds of some of the po-
litical leaders, be inappropriate, since
the axiom held here is "continuity in
foreign policy."
There is a deal of speculation also
whether Mr. Baldwin would now- ac-
cept the services of Mr. Chamberlain
and Iyord Birkenhead, who have been
ostracized from association with a
government under conservative ad-
ministration since their intimate as-
sociation with former Premier Lloyd
Oeoree. Since Mr. Lloyd George now
i# definitely committed to the good
or ill fortunes of the liberal party and
there no longer is any hope for the
formation of a center party, the be-
lief prevails in some circles that Mr.
Baldwin will take back these former
ministers into the cabinet fold. An-
other source of speculation surrounds
Sir Robert Horne for the post of
chancellor of the exchequer. Some
persons believe he could be induced
to abandon his commercial pursuits
and return to politics.
In consequence of the large num-
ber of men on the conservative side
WHOLE CIRCUS IS THROWN OPEN,
ALL FREE, TO HOUSTON KIDDIES
"Yo-Ho-o, Skin-nay! C'mon—let's
go to tb' circus."
Yes, sir, a genuine circus and it
will be free to every little boy and
girl in Houston, regardless of size.
It will be staged on the first floor
of the Stowers Furniture store be-
tween 2 and 5 p. m. Saturday, ac-
cording to M. ,T. Sues, who is in charge
of the arrangements for the show.
The entire first floor of the estab-
lishment will be cleared of all furni-
ture and turned into an old-time ring
circus, with sawdust and straw cover-
ings for the floor to make it even
more realistic.
Ten clowns have been arranged for
to furnish amusement and to dis-
tribute gifts of peanuts, popcorn, bal-
loons and other "pretties" among the
youngsters.
ibv
tne
appear in ttie Red Roosters fair will
be used in the circus ring. Every
child will be given an opportunity to
get a "close up" of these trained
babies, which will perform stunts just
as they will during the Red Roosters
fair.
Mr. Sues announced that every lit-
tle boy and girl in Houston, regardless
of size or age, is invited to attend.
Houston Electric company busses will
carry children from the Faith Home
to the store for the circus perform-
ance.
There are absolutely no charges for
anything. No admission will be
charged and popcorn, _ peanuts, bal-
loons, etc., will be distributed free
also, it was stated. There will be
nothing for sale.
in the new house of commons, there
is almost certain to be new blood
in the conservative cabinet.
One feature of the aftermath com-
ment by the press on the outcome of
the elections is the somewhat frank
discussion of what many of the news-
papers regard as Mr. MacDonald's
mismanagement of the Zinovieff af-
fair and of the events generally which
led up to the present disaster of the
two progressive parties, and there
already is talk of a change in the
leadership of the labor party by
which James H. Thomas, secretary
for the colonies, or John Wheatley,
minister of health, might replace Mr.
MacDonald and thus be in the run-
ning for the premiership whenever
labor again approaches the goal of
government.
Absentee Vote Sets
Record For County
What is said to be the heaviest
absentee vote ever polled in Harris
county for a general election was
made public Friday by Albert Town-
send. county clerk. 340 absentee votes
having been recorded to date. These
will be turned over to the presiding
judges of the various precincts on tbe
day of the election.
Boxes and supplies have been sent
to the 107 precincts by the county
clerk and the election machinery is in
running order awaiting the "starting
gun."
GALVESTON, Texas. Oct. 31.—
"The Passing Parade of 1924", five
days of fun and frolic, will be held
under the auspices of El Mina Temple,
shriners, from November 10 to tbe 15,
inclusive, it was announced Friday.
The proceeds from the annual show
are devoted to charities and shrine
activities.
Two Convicts Take
Hallowe'en Leave
From Prison Farm
The spirit of Halloween penetrates
even to penitentiaries and convict
farms and it may be that a pair of
convicts missing from the State farm
at Midway. Texas, were just trying
to play a Halloween joke on the war-
den.
A telegram was received by Hous-
ton police requesting them to be on
the lookout for Cecil Snyder, 24, and
C. R. Holland, 27, both of whom es-
caped from the State farm at Mid-
way late Friday afternoon.
Snyder is described as having blue
eyes, brown hair and a scar on his

who had been planted there for just
such a contingency.
Serious complications were pre-
vented when a half case of aged eggs
were taken from some urchins at
Thirteenth and Boulevard.
Around 11 o'clock those of the
crowd who had not been satiated
joined various parties and dances, of
which there were more than 100 scat-
tered throughout the city.
At the city auditorium, Y. M. C. A.,
McMillian's and numerous other places
the buildings were taxed to capacity
to handle the crowds.
The first arrests occurred when
Captain Ku.vkendall intercepted Louis
Axelrod and Robert Robinson, each

paint on girls near the Rice hotel, he
declared in charging them with dis-
turbing the peace.
Luna park, under direction of the
Shriners, reported 17,000 persons
as having paid at the turnstiles. Con-
cessions all were well patronized. The
chief attraction was the new dance
jiavilion where a fancy dress ball was
held.
Mrs. Jack C. Moore, 2002 Morri-
son street, won first prize with her
elaborate costume. Mrs. Gertrude
Collender, Lamar apartments, was
