missioner Eyres has also held confer-
ences with salesmen representing elec-
trical equipment houses, and the sur-
mise is advanced that a deal for an

Another theory advanced is that the
mayor and commissioners had gone to
get data in regard to a possible change
in the method of making tax assess-
ments for netx year. This conclusion
was reached as a result of the stand
taken by certain members of the coun-

Will Austin retain St. Edward's Col-

within the next few weeks. That
Austin may, lose one of the principal
institutions, of learning located here is
indicated in the report that the Holy
Cross Congregation, which controls the
affairs of the college, is seriously con-
sidering its removal from Austin to
San Antonio or even to some point in
northern Mexico.
It is known that many students from
Mexico each year attend the college,
and the field in northern Mexico is
particularly attractive for the estab-
lishment of a Catholic college. Offi- I
cials of St. Edward’s College declined
to comment on the matter, but stated
that no definite plans concerning the
rebuilding of the college would be an-
nounced until after the administrative
board of the University of Notre Dame,
the parent school of St. Edward's Col-
lege, had announced its plans.
Correspondence detailing the loss by
tornado of the college has already been
sent to the authorities at Notre Dame,
it was learned Thursday afternoon.

GENOA, May 12.—France will never*
agree to the project for a mixed com-
mission sitting indefinitely while the
conference is going on, to study Rus-
sian affairs, according to a statement
issued by the French delegation this
noon.
A leading member of the delegation
predicted that the conference would
soon adjourn after perhaps suggesting
the t ppointment of an international
committee to examine the Russian
question without the Russians having
a place on the committee whicn might
later report to some conference.
Some spokesmen expressed the hops
that the United States will be repre-,
sented on such a committee as sug-
gested.
A statement of the British view on
the Russian reply to the allied memo-
randum today terms the document
“very stupid from the view point of
Russian interests," but says Great
Britain is not prepared to adopt the
view that Europe is to be denied peace
or the Russian people further consid-
eration in their misery simply because
of a stupid argument T" ""
"As far a» Russia is conerned,"
continues the statement, "help will
undoubtedly be delayed and rendered
more difficult, but that is an affair
of the Russian government. We are
quite prepared to go into the sugges-
tion that the questions of credits, debts
and private property be referred to a
mixed commission which will study
them in detail and eventually report,
although this meins that Russia will
have to wait sometime longer for
credits.”
Prime Minister Lloyd George of
Great Britain and Signor Schanzer of
Italy have used all their influence with
the chief of the French delegates, M.
Barthou,to impress upon him that the
Russian note, although not as favor-
able as was hoped, still leaves the door
open for discussion and perhaps for
general agreement. They urged him
to reflect this opinion in his dispatches
to his premier.
It is believed that if left to them-
selves the majority of the powers will
favor continuance of the discussion,
but if France withdraws from the con-
ference certain of the other powers will
follow her.
The number of such nations might
be enough to make impossible hope •?
agreement with the soviet even if
Mr. Lloyd George is willing to continue
the conference without France. The
latter contingency is improbable, how-
ever, considering the storm of protest
such an indication of the collapse of
the entente might raise in England.
M. Bart hoc telegraphed the text of
the Russian communication to Paris
and expected to receive his instruc-
tions today. After reading the docu-
ment his only comment is. "It is less
an answer than an indictment of toe
powers, coupled with a flat refusal to
reply to the questions put to them (the
Russians).”
The British view, as given by Sir
Edward Grigg, was that the note cer-
tainly calhs for a rejoinder.”
The British said they agreed with
the Italians in favor of the appoln-
ment of a mixed commission to stndy
Russian credits, debts ane trentment
of foreign private property in Russia
as suggested by the Russian reply, but
would not consent to this unless a

AMSTERDAM, May 12.-, Former
Emperor William’s devotion to religion
has progressed to the point of mania,
Admiral Von Tirpitz, former minister
of the German navy, is reported to
have told a friend recently.
The German ex-kaiser is described
as spending the greater part of each
day in reading the scriptures, com-
mentaries. sermons and other religious
books and in prayer. His health ap-
pears to be good, but the members of
his entourage at Doorn regard his
mental state with some anxiety. It is
observed that his interest in European
affairs has greatly diminished, even
German politics finding him somewhat
uninterested. His mind appears to live
rather in the past than in the present,
and he is disposed, wherever he does
converse on politic* and some one
speaks of. the injustice of the world,
to allude* with a certain melancholy
and indifference to what he terms the
false accusation of his having "willed
the war."
His occasional visitors find his mind
shut in and closed to present German
affairs and the relations between Ger-
many and the rest of the European
countries.
The Hernocratic candidates are S. A.
L. Morgan of Wichita Falls; Guinn
Williams of Decatur and Miss Annie
Webb Hirntor of Denton. Orville Bul-
lhgin ct Wichita Falls is running as
, an indevendent candidate.

have been the leading issues in the

intensive campaign and are to speak
on the eve of the election.
There are approximately sixty thous-
and qualified voters in the district
and it is expected that half this num-
ber of votes will be polled.
It is known that the more prominent
alumni and friends of the college have
already started outlining plans for1
financing the proposed reconstruction
of damaged buildings.
In order to retain the college, it is
said, Austin citizens will have to con-
tribute some $150,900 toward the cam-
paign that is to be launched. How the
new building Program will be financed
is yet to be worked out by a com-
mittee of alumni that has the matter
under consideration.
That it will take between $300,009
and $599,000 to rebuild the college
buildings in the manner desired by the
authorities of the institution was
learned Thursday. The tornado de-
stroyed part of Holy Cross Hall. the
dormitory, and also the power house
and the building housing the gym-

Under the projected building plan. It
is proposed to build a new dormitory
costing $125,000 to $150,000. while the
new power house, equipped for the
study of steam and mechanical engi-
neering. will cost between $30,090 and
$50,090 In addition to rebuilding the
gymnasium and natatorium, it is pro-
posed to include an auditorium in the
plan of this building, the entire struc-
ture to coat between $190,000 and
$150,000.

CHICAGO, May 12.—Police and civic
organisations today saw in the indict-
ment of eight Chicago labor leaders
and the State’s attorney's threat to use
against them the law invoked thirty-
six years ago to obtain executions of
the Haymarket rioters, a smashing
blow at what they termed gang terror-
ism. In the first night session on rec-
ord a Cook county special grand jury
returned true bills charging murder
against “Big Tim” Murphy, head of
the gas workers' union; Fred Mader,
president of the Chicago Building
Trades Council; Cornelius P. (Con)
Shea, secretary- treasurer of the thea-
ter janitors' union, referred to as the
“Big Three” of the vicious labor cir-
cles. and five others.
The indictments are forerunners of
scores of others, city and county offi-
cials said.
More than 400 persons were arrest-
ed. and but few have been released
with the greater number denied free-
dom on writs of habeas corpus.
Others named in the indictments
are:
Isadore Braverman, head of the fix-
tures hangers' union; Daniel McCar-
thy, business agent of the plumbers’
union: JefrytHoran, saloon keeper;
Thomas Hogan, former police officer,
and Robert McCloud, clerk in the
Building Trades Council.
The eight are charged specifically
with the killing of Terrance Lyons,
acting police lieutenant. The slaying
of Lyons followed the murder of
Thomas Clark, patrolman on guard at
a building which previously had been
bombed, police say by labor men, be-
cause it was being erected under the
wage decision handed down by K. M.
Landis, former Federal judge.
Effort* of the attorneys for the labor
leaders to obtain the release of Mur-
phy, Shea. Mader and the others failed
when Judge Kickham Scanlon declared
that a state of war existed between la-
bor and the police. "If the same law
is used as in the anarchist case, I am
convinced that we have enough evi-
dence to hang Murphy.” George E.
Groman, assistant State's attorney
said “And not only Murphy but Shea
and Mader. We have more than the
necessary evidence linking these men
with the bomb outrages, slugging a and
murders which have occurred within
the last few months.
“Under the law which applied in the
ease of the anarchists, it is merely
necessary to prove that the men com-
mitted acts which incited or led others
to commit these crimes. It is not nec-
essary to prove conspiracy. The coun-
tenancing or.suggesting of an act of
violence under this law constitutes an
overt act just as much as that of the
man who wields the gun. I am confi-
dent of convictions."
Witnesses before the grand jury last
night included twenty policemen in ad-
dition to civilians, all guarded care-
fully because police feared they might
come to harm if labor organizations
learned who had testified. Documents
seized at labor headquarters during
raids, made following the murders, also
also introduced.
Although Mader wan the head of the
Building Trades Council, in name.
Murphy is the "power behind the
throne.” Charles C. Fitzmorris, chief
of police, said in explaining why labor
leaders had been rounded up. "Mur-
phy craved the title held by Mader,"
he said.
A letter seized in a raid on labor
headquarters proves. Fitzmorris said,
that labor planned to gather a big
fund to use in an emergency of this
