months’ suspended sentence in jail.
Lee Dove, charged with larceny, was
tried and convicted by a jury. His at-
torney made a motion for a new trial,
which was overruled. The attorney
then asked that the offense be reduced
on account of the young man having
been under the influence of a drug at
the time the offense wag committed.
Judge Dickerson refused, saying that
mercy was all right but should not be
carried to the extreme; that if a man
wanted to, all the mothers in the world
could not prevent him from going to
the devil. He said he would give the
young man a chance to rid himself of
the drug habit by putting him where
he could not get it for a year and a

Last night burglars struck town and
this morning fifteen residences had
been robbed. The thieves in nearly
every instance entered sleeping rooms
snd took men's trousers and rijed the
pockets. No very large sums of money
were taken, but the total amounted
to over $100 and in addition several
gold watches were taken. The bur-
glar* were driven out of one house
and came neur being captured, but
they had their nerve and darted across
the street, where they hid in the rear
of another house and then robbed IL
This gang of burglars has been work-

will take the place of those swept

will help in this work, help just enough
to see that shelter is provided and
the immediate necessities supplied. It
will not take much, measuring the
coat with th* great store of wealthy
Texas, but that little must be forth-
coming, for without help now heavy
want will rest upon these people.
Committees in Churge
The leading men of the town have
taken hold of affairs here. A general
committee has been named to consider
the publie good. This committee is
composed of Sidney Webb, chairman;
W. F. Manning, Dr. W. A. Barton, A.
W. Melton, J. C. Gwin and J. B. Ford.
They have the scheme of help well in
hand and are doing all that can be
done to straighten out th* tangles.
Mr. Keeler of the Denver has given
order* to move relief for the town
without coat. A relief train was run
from Henrietta and Wichita Falls with
relief in charge of J. B. Tewksbury,

Robbecky’s mill, at first reported de-

Hurton, but so far matter have not
developed to an extent which makes It
possible to aay that the committee will
offer any recommendations along that
line. It has been pointed out that since
the United States government alone
does aot possess the authority to regu-
late the rates to be charged by the
power companies. It is difficult to see
■ow It could get that authority from
any arrangement with the Canadian
governmen effected through a treaty
with Great Britain. Mr. Burgess frank-
ly admits ths force of thie sug
but nevertheless ae believe* that event-
ually something may be done through

Th* preseat plans of the power om-
pAnies which secure their power from
Niagara falls contemplate the develop-
ment of their resources to an extent
tativee of the power companies who
appeared before th* committee, cited
a decleion of the appellate division of
the supreme court of New York which
is of interest in connection with the
subject now being considered. The
opinion was handed down by Judge •
Childs, who said in part: "It appears
that the relator, as riparian owner,
had the right to take water* from th*
Niagara river for manufacturing puu-
poeea, not interfering thereby with th*
nayigability of the stream, such right
being in no sense in the nature of a
franchise, but a corporal hereditament,
not depending either upon grant or
prescription." That broadly apeak-
son.
The heaviest damage was done at the
Munson greenhouses, where almost
every glass was broken and many
plants were damaged. The loss is es-
timated at about 12.040 or 11,000. The
greenhouses of K. Farley, were also ।
severely damaged, the loss there be-
ing 1100.
Skylights and church windows were
broken all over the city and many win-}

brothers, which were very handsome
ones, were completely demolished. The
Webb brothers are prominent citizens
of Bellevue, having practically built
the place, and their numerous friends
iiere were of course glad to learn of
their safety. Miss Cora Webb, a sis-
ter, left at ones on receipt of the mes-

us . „e members of the commute* seem
to be convinced that a bill should be
‘reported prohibiting the taking of more
y than a certain amount of water from
the falls. It is in connecion with this
phase of the matter that th* problem
referred to han arisen. Several dirfer-
ent companies are now engaged in fur-
nishing power derived from the falls
•nd under the existing conditions new
companies might come in at any time
and competition thus be assured. Mem-
bers of the committee are apprehensive,
however, that if they place a limit on
the amount of water that may be used
utes do cover the case and that indict-
ments were returnable on proof. He
thinks that if the grand jury did dot
have onfdenee in his legal opinion, it
should have taken the matter up with
the court, which waa not done.
Tams Bixby is greatly disappointed
that no indTetments were returned and
if he follows his present inclination*
he would probably ask the department
of interior to request the department
of Justice to order a special grand
jury. He does not relish being placed
in the position of having the records
stolen from his office and no one pun-
ished for it, especially when he is satis-
fied that there was no question of proof
as to who did it in th* hands of the
last grand jury. The matter has galned
so much publicity that he proposes to
punish the guilty parties if it is posi-
ble to do so.

of course, be impossible for a new com-

Congress Is Powerless.
The situation being just as It is.
Chairman Burton an other member*
of th* committee are casting about for
some means by which a combination
under the circumstances named can be
prevented and the beauty of the falls
preserved by the placing of a limit on
the amount of water that may be used
by the power manufacturers. These
manufacturers, of course, occupy an
entirely different attitude toward the
public than does a railroad, which op-
erates under the right of eminent do-
main and may bring about the con-
demnation of private property for its
own use because its operations are held
in the first analysis to be for the gen-
•ral good of the public. Thus while it
is quite competent for congress to
regulate the rate which may be charged
by the railroads of the country. It can-
not exercise a similar supervision over
• oncerns which manufacture power
BTT rorrti waters of Nlagara falls. These
7 concerns operate under riparian rights
and are therefore not subject to con-
trol like a public carrier.
It is the opinion of Representative
Burgess of Texas, a member of the
rivers and harbors committee, that the
desired regulation of prices and the
prevention of the formstioa of a power
trust may be brought about by a treaty
between this country and Great Brit-
ain. Mr. Burgess has discussed this

no one fared sumptuously today. Now,
however, they have enough to feed
them and the great thing that is needed
is lumber and a few dollars of ready
cash to enable them to build a new
shelter and to atari life over. Texas
cannot do better than to help these
people, for they are a brave people and
are meeting their fate with fortitude
and without grumbling. They are not

they have been grievously hurt and
