• Harris AVill Case.
The matter of the probating of the
will of Judge John W. Harris on an
appeal from the county court was called
this morning before District Judge
Robert G. Street. This cause grew out
of the application to probate said will
in the probate court some months back
and the probating of wiiicn was con-
tested.
Judge Mann admitted the wiU. and
it is from his decree that the above ap-
peal was taken by the contestants.
This cause was set on the jury docket
but by agreement was withdrawn and
submitted to .the court on the issue of
law.

the old wiring of the county court-

standard methods of conduits for the

work was badly needed and that the
county took wise action in directing
that the work should be gone over at
this time. It is anticipated by the con-
tractors that it will take about three
months to complete the contract.

Labor Day Committee.
A well attended meeting took place
yesterday morning and the reports
from the different sub-committees were
submitted and they show that matters
are working along in good shape to-
ward the hoped for successful celebra-
tion. The grounds committee state
that they have secured Woollam’s Lake
for the picnic and that bidding for the
concessions is going on at a lively rate.
The music committee announce the se-
curing of all the union bands of the
city to take part in the parade and to
furnish music at the picnic grounds for
the entertainment of the guests and for
dancing. As is usual in Labor day cele-
brations, the committee will put out a
souvenir program and a committee was
appointed to have this matter in charge
and secure such data as will make it
attractive in connection with announce-
ments from business houses.
The parade committee announced that
they had secured promises from the
greater part of the local organizations
to turn out and help make this feature
a big success. A number of business
houses have also responded to the in-
vitation to enter floats and state they
will be represented.

The toare statement of facts covering
the presentation of the anti-poolroom ordi-
nance to the board of city commissioners
at their meeting Thursday evening and
■the postponement of action thereon, as
I well as the brief announcement of the
disposition of a case on a somewhat
similar ordinance in a Dalas court, which
has thus far been published, do not begin
‘to do justice to the situation, nor do
they convey to the public mind anything
like a proper reflection of the real con-
dition of affairs.
The ordinance presented to the commis-
sion was a copy of one that has put the
Houston poolroom out of business and
passed and. properly handled here it would
have the same result. Inere has not
been an arrest m'aae under the ordinance
in Houston, and to get the desired effect
there would not have to be1 one made here
or elsewhere in Texas where such an
ordinance is passed, if conditions remain
the sama now, which seems nighly prob-
able.
The postponement of action suggested
by Commissioner Kempner, at the re-
quest of a representative of the poolroom
interest, until the case pending under
the Dallas ordinance could foe decided,
was exactly the “nine-hole” that the
poolroom managers had thrown open for
the city authorities to walk into, which
they proceeded to do, at. the poolroom
boys’ request. Had the ordiance been
passed as presented last Thursday night,
or should it be passea at any future meet-
fing and be properly enforced, as it was
in Houston, it wlrl be as effective now
as it would have been before the Dallas
decision.
The proposed ordinance, among other
things, prohibits telegraph and telephone
companies from furnishing any equipment I
or service whatever to a poolroom, and
■immediately upon the passage of this
same ordinance in Houston the Western
Union Telegraph company, that furnished
the service to the poolroom tnere, dis-
continued the service, which rendered it
absolutely impossible for the “chalk
pony” operators to turn a wheel. There
was no necessity for making arrests, as
the telegraph company would not violate
the ordinance or contest Rs validity, and
their refusal to do either made it impos-
sible for the poolroom people to conduct
their business in violation of any other

Judge Gillaspie, in his charge to the

of law, covering the duties of such a
body, calling special attention to the
duty of the grand jury of investigat-

any infraction of the gaming laws;
that they must investigate, and if
found violators of the law must be I
indicted. He also stated that it' is )
the duty of the officers of the law to
know if there is any gaming going on,
and if they omit to report ’such it is
the duty of the body to return indict-
ments against them.

Jasper Amato, residing at 2025 ave-
nue O, had a rather peculiar experience
with two negro highwaymen about
10.30 o’clock Saturday night. He re-
ported that he spent the evening at the
beach and was on his way home, hav-
ing reached avenue oy2 and 21st street
when the negroes commanded him to
halt and turn out his pockets and hand
them over all the money and valuables
he had.
Amato explained to the police that
he has a habit, as he nears his home at
night, of unfastening his watch and
chain from his shirt and placing them
in his trouser pockets. He had just un-
fastened the watch and chain prepara-
tory to slipping them into his trouser
pockets when the highwaymen appear-
ed on the scene and shoved a gun into
his face. He dropped the watch and
began searching his pockets for money
and managed to find nearly $15 which i
he handed the robbers, who then
searched him thoroughly. The holdup
men had not noticed the watch and
chain slip to the ground and there the
jewlery lay during the process of re-
lieving the owner of his coin.
Once released, the young man ran
home and telephone the police station
of the holdup and then ran back to the
spot where he had been interviewed
by the highwaymen and picked up his
gold watch and chain.
The young man gave a good descrip-
tion of the two highwaymen and the
police are hopeful of effecting their
s capture.

under the Dallas ordinance and

to convince any one intent upon- the sup-
pression of the Gaiveston poolroom that
t.-e test case up tnere was not a fair one
If the Dallas poolroom men
secured the wire service from the tele-
graph company that was necessary for
them to’ have in order to violate the
ordinance on the day of this arrest the
■telegraph company must have been the
in.tial violators of the law and should
have been immediately placed under ar-
rest.
It is well to remember in this connec-
tion that Dallas is the place where the
poolroom interest instituted a case to
test the present law aimed at horse race
betting a few seasons back and secured
a decision on an agreed statement of
facts, wherein the state was practically
agreed out of court. In. the adjoining
county to the west, wherein Fort. Worth
is located, they tried the same tactics,
but the county attorney there would not
agree to anything and contested every
point, resulting in putting ..xie poolroom
out of business permanently and in short
order. The Tribune has a brief of this
case.
The Dallas case mentioned above
carried to the court of criminal appeals
and a decision secured on the agreed
statement o facts that has been herald-
ed and cited foy the poolroom adherents
