BILL WILL KEEP TAXES
FROM BECOMING DE-
LINQUENT UNTIL OC-
TOBER 15.
AUSTIN, Jan. 29,—The
bill to keep taxes from be-
coming delinquent until Oc-
tober 15 was enacted into
law this afternoon. Gover-
nor Ross S. Sterling affixed
his signature at 1:42 p. m.
The bill keeps taxes from becom-
ing delinquent this year until Oe-
tober, 15. instead of February 1 as
under Use present law. It applies to
all taxes except city and town takes
and those being paid under a spe-
cial law.
The tx bill adopted yesterday by
a free conference committee after
the Senate had Talled to concur
with th House in passage of the
Weinert bill, was the embodiment
of both the Oneal and Weinert plans.
The bill passed both houses yes- •
terday with only six votes of 171
east market against it.
All taxes unpaid by February 1.
under provisions of the bul, would
start drawing ten per cent interest.
October 15 was given as the final
date fof payment of 1930 taxes.

LINTON, Ind., Jan. 26.—The lives
of 29 miners were snuffed out in
an explosion at the Little Betty
coal mine near here late yesterday.
With the rescue of two men last
night and seven more this morning,
all of the men in the mine had been
accounted for.
; Identification of the vietims pro-
ceeded slowly. Many of the bodies
were so badly burned and disfig-
ured a check of the dead was diffi-
cult. t
The cause ct the explosion had
not been definitely ascertained this
morninz. 'Soon after the blast, it
was understood the accident had
been caused by a spark Agniting a
quantity of blasting powder. Later
reports, however, stated the explo-
sive had been found intact and that
disaster was the result of a gas ex-
lesion.
The dreaded "black damp” filled
the passages of the mine and
hampered the work of rescue crews.
The men who were rescued this
morning had barricaded themselves
in an entry off one of the main
corridors. •
Throughout the night a con-
stant stream of ambulances made

According to report here Thurs-
day morning from the Pilot Point
Oil field no new wells have come in,
• however, several locations have been
made, It is understood here that W
B. Hamilton has contracted to drill
- a well for the T-P Oil Co. near the
Clint Jacobs home. That wibe
the farthest north of any location
so far made in the field. It is ex-
pected that Hamilton will, drill an-
other well on his own lease as soon
as he has completed this well. His
expected location is an off-set well
to the Danciger-Staniforth well, the
meet recent and biggest producer in
the field. It is also understood that
the Simms people will drill another
well soon, skidding their rig overt
” to drill where they put down their
first test. Oil men claim this hole
was ’bungled’ and that the Simms
people feel certain of getting a
producer in that location—just a
short way southeast of the discov-
, ery Jacobs well. The Bourland test,
_ just north of the Sanger-Pilot Po!nt
Highway, is still drilling at about
500 feet in hard soil. Much interest
is being shown in this test, as it’s
in Denton County and south of the
discovery field. The Danciger-Stan-
iforth well continues its flow. It has
been pinched in but is still making,
according to report, 500 barrels per
day. There is not sufficient storage
in^th* field and trucks are carrying
the dkl to Pilot Point where it is
being loaded in tank cars for ship-
ment. Work on the pipe Une is ex-
ported to start within a short time,
and one of the major companies has
stated they wiU be in the market
for all of this oil they can get, as
U‘s just the kind of oU they want.
There are evidently some Denton
people who do not ’need’ their
money, as they have not called for
their dividend checks issued by the
First National Bank and the Ex-
change National Bank, both in re-
ceivership. There have been no re-
cent dividends to be paid, but Steve
Wisdom, connected with the receiv-
ership. said "We still have checks
uncalled for by depositors. The last
two dividends issued to depositors
of the First National Bank have not
all been taken out, and a part of
the last issue of the Exchange Bank
are still in our. vaults." The First
National Bank depositors have re-
ceived four dividends; the first for
forty per cent and the next three
represented ten per cent, making a
total of 70 per cent paid out to de-
positors. Exchange National depos-
itors have received 65 par cent in
three dividends, 60. 15 and 16 per
cent.
