S. M. Lesesne, a veteran newspaper-

correspondent of the Galveston-Dallas

noon about 5:45 o’clock at a downtown
restaurant. Mr. Lesesne had been in
the city about a week visiting his wife
who is ill at St. Mary’s infirmary. He
was eating his dinner in the cafe with
his niece, Miss Jennie Gayle of Edna,
when he complained of a severe pain in
his chest. A moment later he leaned

New Orleans Cotton.
By Associated Press.
New Orleans, La., Dec. 11.—While the
settlement of the coal strike caused a
rise of 4 to 16 points on the opening
of the cotton market today, selling im-
mediately increased as the result of the
freight embargo against Southern ports
and there was a quick drop in values.
At the end of the first half hour of
trading prices were 23 to 25 points un-
der yesterday's close.
Uncertainty as to how freight re-
strictions would affect exports caused
selling to continue, being heaviest in
the. near months. Late in the morning-
prices were . twenty-four to fifty-one
points under the close of yesterday.
The government report estimating
the crop at 11,000,000 bales was higher
than expected and caused an immediate
break to 36.03 for January and 31.70 for
May, or 88 to 100 points net lower un-
der active general selling and liquida-
tion.

New York Cotton.
By Associated Press.
New .York, Dec. 11.—The cotton mar-
ket was nervous and unsettled early
today. Buying on the settlement of the
coal controversy was restricted by an
announcement that no immediate relax-
ation of fuel restrictions could be ex-
pected, and that coal would be refused
vessels at South Atlantic and Gulf ports
except for coastwise and shipment to
Cuba.- There was also uneasiness over
the continued weakness of foreign ex-
change, and. after opening 25 points
lower to 8 points higher, active months
sold about 20 to 40 points lower to 32.40
for May.
The- circulation of a few December
notices stimulated near month liqui-
dation with December selling off to
38.00, or ninety-five points net lower.
Later in the morning, while January
broke to 36.28 and May to 32,23, or
about thirty-five to seventy-five points
net lower. The selling became less(
active around these levels and the
market was comparatively quiet at
mid-day with prices showing moderate
rallies.
Much liquidation came from the long
side as the time of the government’s
estimate of the crop drew near and
just before 1 o’clock prices were 31
to 81 points under the finals of yester-
day.

of 50 cents only for recording each ac-
count of sheriffs, as provided for in
article 1132, code of criminal pro-
cedure. His charge is 50 cents for re-
cording each account of the sheriff and
not 50 cents for each case disposed of,
held the attorney general’s department
in an opinion written by .Assistant At-
torney General W. J. Townsend for
Comptroller L. W. Tittle. The sheriff’s
account, approved by the district judge
and recorded by the clerk, may include
the fee accruing in several felony
cases. In other words, the district
clerk is not entitled to a. fee of 50
cents for any one case, but only one
such fee for recording the whole ac-
count, despite the fact there may be
several cases.
Austin, Tex., Dec. 11.—It is held by
the attorney general’s department that
where a mineral permit was issued un-
der the law of 1913 and the permitee
failed to meet the requirements of the
law in doing development work and
making reports to the land commis-
sioner, the land covered by such per-
mit is not subject to be filed upon by
other parties until the land commis-
sioner, has officially canceled the per-
mit first issued. The opinion was writ-
ten by Assistant Attorney General E. F.
Smith for Land Commissioner J. T. Rob-
ison. ,
In this instance, J. C. Haynes filed an
application for a mineral permit on
June 14, 1917, to prospect for oil and
other minerals on 521 acres of land in
the Goose Creek oil field, and on July
17, 1917, a permit was issued to Haynes.
The permit issued to Haynes was can-
celed on August 8, 1919. A. B. Crocker
filed an application for a mineral per-
mit on this land on July 17, 19-19, and
the land commissioner desired to know
whether or not a permit should be is-
sued to Crocker on his application of
July 17, 1919.
“If the failure of Haynes to comply
with the law ipso facto terminated his
permit and made the land again subject

Salmon Sails.
The steamer Salmon of the Lykes
line, which has been in port here for
some little time outfitting for carry-
ing a cargo of cattle, from South Amer-
ica to Europe, sailed today for Car-
tagenia. The vessel came here some
time ago docking at Pier 11, where all
the carpenter work in connection with
the building of her compartments, for
cattle was done. Those included not
only the compartments in her hold, but
these on deck as well.
MORE SAMPLES RECEIVED.
They Will Be Analyzed for Alcoholic
Content.
Special to the Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Dec. 11.—R. V. Nichols
of the attorney general’s department
has returned from Galveston, Beau-
mont and Port Arthur, where he ob-
tained large batches of samples of so-
called beverages which will be ana-
lyzed to ascertain the percentage of
alcoholic content, if any. The bulk of
samples so far analyzed by chemists in
the pure food department have dis-
closed percentages of alcohol in excess
of the legal- limit, which is 1 per cent
or less.

Austin, Tex., Dec. 11.—Virtually all
of the state departments will give the.
employees nearly five days off for the
Christmas holidays, the heads of these
departments having mutually agreed to
close their departments on Tuesday,
Dec. 23, and remain closed until the
following Monday, Dec. 29. The comp-
troller was the first to decide on this
plan and the other departments quick-
ly fell in line. This means there will
be comparatively little business trans-
acted-at the state capitol during the
Christmas holidays.
New Service Planned.
Shipping firms in Texas are begin-
ning to realize the importance of bet-
ter water connections between the
various Texas ports and those of Mex-
ico. The Gulf Export and Transpor-
tation Company of Beaumont; which
have been operating vessels in the
gulf coastwise trade for years, have
added to their fleet the steamer coaster
Col. Rockwell, built as a trawler in
the North Sea, but later taken over
for mine sweeping. This vessel was
bought by the company and brought
to Beaumont, where she was outfitted
for the freight service between. Beau-
mont, Galveston, Texas City, Tampico
and other Mexican ports, supplement-
ing the fleet already operated by that
company, built around the steamer Col-
onel Bowie, the tug Keichi and a num-
ber of barges.
The Col. Rockwell, according to port
officials here who have looked over the
ship, is a small vessel of 388 gross tons.
She is equipped with a Scotch marine
boiler, triple expansion engine, and is
thought to be a very seaworthy craft.
This evidence is borne out by the fact
that she gave excellent service in the
mine sweeping work, which was not
exactly a sinecure for any ship engaged
in it.
Present plans call for the operation
of the vessel in the freight service, but
the company is planning later to sup-
plement their fleet with still more ships
and use the Col. Rockwell principally
for transporting passengers between
Texas and Mexican ports.

Issuance of Warrants By County Up-
held By Court.
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Dec. 11.—The Supreme court
today affirmed the judgments of the
district court and of the court of civil
appeals in the case of Ed C. Lassater.
et al. against Alonzo Lopez, county
treasurer of Duval county et al. This
suit was instituted by Lassater and
other tax payers of Duval county to
have declared invalid a series of inter-
est-bearing county warrants aggre-
gating $25,000, these warrants having
been issued by the county commis-
sioners without authorization of a vote
of the taxpayers for the construction
of county roads.
The district court sustained the val-
idity of the warrants and this was af-
firmed by the court of civil appeals
and today by the Supreme court. The
Supreme court held that the county
commissioners had authority to issue
the warrants.

Marine Interests Agitated.
By Associated Press.
The Hague, Wednesday, Dec. 10.-
The question of responsibility of what
shipping circles consider to be lax-
ity in sweeping the mine fields from
the North sea has been agitating ma-
rine interests and has been the sub-
ject of questions in the Dutch parlia-
ment. Scarcely a day has passed in
several weeks without some casualties
along the Dutch or «Danish coasts.
* Men from the crew of the Liberty

Collision at Sea.
By Associated Press.
Boston, Dec. 11.—Messages intercept-
ed at the naval radio station here last
night told of a collision between the
British steamers Carmania and Mary-
land about 500 miles east of Halifax.
The Carmania was slightly damaged.
The messages did not indicate the ex-
tent of the damage to the Maryland.
The position in which the collision
occurred was given as latitude 45:40
north, longitude 52:17 west. The Car-
mania is bound from Liverpool for New
York and the Maryland is believed to
be bound from Baltimore for London.
One of the messages from the Gar-
mania, declining a proffer of air from
another steamer, said that assistance
was not needed as the damage sus-
tained did not affect the ship’s safety.
Another said the vessel was proceed-
ing all right.
Denver, Colo., Dec. 11.—The
house of representatives of the
Colorado legislature today adopt-
ed unanimously the resolution
ratifying the woman's suffrage
amendment to the federal con-
stitution. The resolution will
forward and was dead. Dr. M. L.
Graves was called immediately and
stated that death was to angina pec-
toris.
Mr. Lesesne was 71 years old and
had lived at Edna, Tex., for the past
thirty years; He was a Mason of long
standing and: had engaged in newspa-
per writing for many years. He was
born in Williamsburg," S. C., on Feb.
27, 1849, and came to Texas while still
a youth. He was well known through-
out the state as a newspaperman and
at one time was county clerk at
Georgetown, Williamson county. He
engaged in the practice of law at one
time and was later connected with the
drug business.
Many articles dealing with the pio-
neer history of the state were con-
tributed by Mr. Lesesne and he at-
tended each of the Methodist confer-
ences held annually in this state. His
last work was at the Texas Editorial
association convention last week where
he wrote several stories dealing with
the doings of the convention. He had
no children.
The body will be shipped to Edn?,
Tex., tomorrow morning for burial by
F. P. Malloy and Sou, undertakers.
George S. Gayle, of Edna, a nephew,
will accompany the body.
■ The steamer Dauperata of the Gulf
lines will be the next vessel to be lifted
out on the newly completed 10,000-ton
dry dock of the Galveston Dry Dock
and Construction company, according to
the announcement of S. Sgitcovich, and
officials of the dry dock company this
morning. Arrangements have been
made and the steamer will take her
place on the big structure next Mon-
day morning or soon thereafter as the
West Imboden which occupies the dock
now, can be relaunched.
The Dauperata is a steamer of about
the same size of the West Imboden,
registering 8,785 tons deadweight
against 8,800 of the West Imboden. She
is of about the same proportions as
the vessel on the dock now. In coming
to Galveston, the Dauperata suffered a
slight accident, damaging her propeller
to some extent, but this was not serious
enough to cause her any great incon-
venjence. She made the trip very well,
in spite of that, and was to have been
tilted, and the damage repaired while
in port here. Officials saw the advis-
ability of' docking the vessel while
there was a chance, however, and the
vessel will be thoroughly gone over, her
bottom scraped and painted, as well as
having slight repairs to her propeller
done while she is on the docks here.
. The vessel is permanently allocated to
the Gulf lines for use in their Havre-
Liverpool trade. , •

Judge Finds California Woman Too
Trustful in Million Dollar Deal.
(From the San Francisco Bulletin.)
Mrs. Lavini J. Hotaling won her suit
against her son, Richard Hotaling,
when Judge John Hunt handed down
a decision a few days ago granting her
what she asked—2,499 shares of stock
in the Hotaling Eetate company valued
at $1,000,000.
This ends one phase of a long drawn
legal battle, in which the intimate af-
fairs of the Hotalings were aired.
Suit for possession of the Sleep Hollow
ranch is still pending. This involves
approximately $500,000.
The suit arose as a result of Mrs.
Hotaling's action in signing over to
her son the certificate for the 2,499
shares of Hotaling/. Estate company
stock and as a result of Hotaling
recording a deed in his own name to
the Sleepy Hollow ranch. Judge Hunt
ruled that Mrs. Hotaling had no under-
standing of the legal effect of signing
over the stock. 7
The plea of Hotaling that his mother
wanted to turn over the estate to him
to .prevent it being squandered by his
brother, Fred, was not taken seriously
by Judge Hunt.

May Dock Here.
There is a possibility that at least
I one or two British steamers will dry
dock in Galveston shortly as a result
I of the coal situation on this side of the
Atlantic, according to information re-
ceived this morning from a prominent
shipping man. One steamer in particu-
lar, which arrived here a few days ago,
was supposed to be dry docked here,
although the arrangements have not as
yet been completed. It was found when
the steamer arrived here that her sup-
ply of coal would not allow the vessel
to make the return trip to Great
Britain unless she was absolutely
clean and. in order to keep the vessel
moving, it was suggested that she dry
dock here and make the return trip, in-
stead of being held up here tem-
porarily. Whether or not this move
will be adopted or not remains to be .
seen. There has been some correspond- i
ence with the operators of the vessels
in England, but nothing definite had
been done up until this morning.
In the meantime the work on the
steamer West Imboden, the shipping
board steamer which has been on the
dry dock for the past week, is being
rushed to a. rapid conclusion, and it is
understood that other vessels in port
here will be hauled out on the com-
pleted structure as soon as the one now
occupying the dock is relaunched. The
news of the completion of the dock
here has spread and it looks at the
present time as if there would be no
trouble in getting plenty of work for
the big structure. Both American and
foreign vessels are besieging the docks
.throughout the country and docking
space is at a premium.
