Special to The Austin Statesman.
SAN MARCOS, Texas, May 1.—The
San Mareos Baptist Academy plans to
continue at its summer camp schools
the educational work of its regular
session, and prospects are indicative
of an unusually large attendance.
Camp Palomar, at Palacios, is ideally

and be near the sea. It will be undenr

who has been with the camp since itm
opening three years ago.

work with the mountains, forest and
streams as resources for recreation,
and sport. Camp Marlamont will be
under the direction of Captain Oscar

Repair Gangs at Work.
In order to open the track and re-
sume operation of trains at the earii-
est possible time, the Katy athorities
ordered a work train this morning to
be sent from Denison to Georgetown
to • repair the damage to the bridge
over the San Gabriel
The northbound Sunshine Special,
fast train of the International & Great
Northern, was held in the local yards
for one hour this morning to allow
high water sweeping the rails at Mc-
Neil to recede sufficiently to permit
passage. No damage has been report-
ed on the I. & G. N. lines aside from
a temporary washout at McNeil due
to high waters of Brushy Creek.
The Houston A Texas Central today
was unaffected by high water and a

San Marcos until the road is cleared
at Georgetown.
The stub train will arrive here about
7 o’clock and will return to San Mar-
cos to take passengers from Austin
northward to connect with northbound
train No. 8 at San Marcos.
The southbound Sunshine Special of
the International & Great Northern,
due in Austin tonight at 7:40, is oper-
ating on time, according to informa-
tion available early this afternoon.
Southbound train No. 3, from St.
Louis, due in Austin at 4 p. m., is
reported fifty minutes late. The In-
ternational & Great Northern trains
are being slightly delayed today on
account of soft track at McNeil, where
Lee rllen swears allegiance ta no
secret oathbound clique or clan, but,
unmasked, always goes, night or day
when and where duty calls. At every
term of court grand juries of Travis
county and of Williamson county have
been instructed by this court to in-
vestigate bootlegging and gambling.
The grand jury of Williamson county,
at the last term of this court, returned
more bills,of indictment in one week
for these criminal offenses than have
been returned from Travis county
grand juries in their long continued
sessions in five years. When peace of-
ficers file bootlegging cases in Fed-
eral courts under the Volstead act
and ignore the Dean law and State
courts, the defendant can he released
on a small fine which can be paid in
one night with the run of an illicit
still.
Analysis of Bootleg Whisky,.
"The court is informed by chemists
from the food and drug department of
the State Board of Health that in
the analysis of 1500 samples of moon-
shine whisky not more than twenty-
five samples were found free from
poison. They say all these alcohols
are exceeding toxic and provoke head-
aches. giddiness, double vision, blind-
ness and finally unconsciousness They
say these alcohols affect the eono-
sit ion of the blood, destroy the consti-
tution of all who drirk excessively,
and must necessarily lead to an un-
timely death.
Facts Disclosed in Trial Courts.
“Facts as disclosed by the evidence
in bootlogging cases in our trial courts
prove moonshine liquor to be a nasty,
filthy beverage. It is the condition
surrounding the manufacture that In-
troduces the element of danger These
illicit stills are hidden in thickets,
fields, old outhouses and barns. The
containers often consist of all ban els.
after reepated use, unspeakably filthy
and ill smelling. The unprotected,
fermenting mixture attracts animal
life, such as flies, cockroaches, mice,
rats,, bugs and insects of every de-
scription. They all feed and fatten
on the material, and often die in it.
Some of this rotten stuff is not even
fit swill for hogs. The stills used to
concentrate bootleg whisky, as a
rule, defy all precautions taught by
experience and practice. In some in-
stances they consist of common boil-
ers covered with filthy blankets in
which the alcoholic vapors are retained
and wrung out into bottles. Frequent-
ly old torn up mattresses furnish the
necessary cotton for straining the fin-
ished product. The imbiber of bootleg
whisky, before every drink, should re-
member the legend written on the dial
of an old town clok, which says, in
speaking of the passing hours, "Vul-
nerant omnes, ultima necat.’ (They
all wound, the last one kills.)
Bootlegging and Gambling.
"This court is unable to understand
