:- AUSTIN, April 25. (—With the
filing of two petitions for leave to
file mandamus suits against State
Superintendent of Public: Instruct
"e-tion S. M. N. Marrs, to force recof-
“Enition of textbooks contracts rem
Fpudiated by the state board of edu-
eation, the entire text book prob-
lem was thrown back into the courts
for settlement.
The petitions were filed late this
a-moon in the supreme court by
W. A. Keeling, former attorney ken-
eral on behalf of W. H. Wheeler
and Company, and by V. L. Brooks
of Austin. representing Charles
Seribners Sons, both companies of
i Chicago.
These two suits are expected to
• be the first quota of several suits,
each representing a company In-
: volved in the textbook repudiation,
a The contracts thrown out, which
represented the entire business of
the text took commission in De-
% cember, are estimated at $1,500,-
. 000.
The petitions assert the contracts
are valid and cannot be rescinded
by the board of education, and they
seek to force Superintendent Marra
to recognize the contracts. ‘
Wheeler and Company had been
awarded contracts for four supple-
mentary readers, for the fourth to
seventh grades inclusive.for a pe-
riod of six years. The Scribners'
contract called for five grammars,
also for a six-year period.
With the petitions filed today,
which the supreme court is ex-
peeted to act upon some time next
week, was filed a motion to ad-
vanee the cases on the docket. At-
torney General Dan Moody, who
will be called upon to defend the
action of the board of education,
asserted he had no objection to ad-
vancing the cases, but that he would
not be ready to file his answer be-
fore May 20. The petitions did not
refer to the fact that requisitions,
minus the names of the repudiated
contracts, have been mailed to the
several schools. Mr. Keeling as-
serted this was not necessary, for
should ‘the court decide the con-
tracts to be valid, the -requisitions
automatically would be voided, and
the superintendent would be forced
to issue new requisitions bearing
the names of the contracts in liti-
gation.
AUSTIN, Texas, April is.—Great-
est achievement of the thirty-ninth
legislature was the enactment of
the socalled search and seizure law I
In the opinion of former United,
States Senator Joseph Weldon
Bailey, of Dallas. This in the Wirtz
bill which makes it an offense for a
county officer or the state rangers I
to search the premises of any cit-
izen without a warrant. The prae- 1
tice that has obtained in the state
for the past few years where raids |
and forays are made by officers into
private homes without A. search
warrant, is severely condemned by
Senator Bailey.
"A man's home is his castle,” said
Senator Balley, “and no peace of- -
Heer or any one has any authority
to enter his premises without being
armed with a search warrant. This
new a w ia.in myjovinion the most
importantienacted by' the thirty-T
ninth legislature.” He also com-i
mended the legislature for its ef-1
fielency for having passed the ap-
propriation bill during a regular
session, which was the firsts time
this has been accomplished for the
past 50 years!
When questioned as to his mission
to Austin, Senator Balley said he
was here to "discuss agriculture
with Farmer Jim." Senator Balley
came here from Waco where he said
he had some legal business. He
visited: the attorney general and
other state officials while here.

If you have any idea of ever buy-
ing an Electric Washing Machine,
then you should see these wonder-
ful Washing Machines that wash
and dry in one operation without
removing the clothes from the ma-
chine or using a wringer. The
Laun-dry-ette does all this without
the use of the old wringer which
requires much more real work and
time; and, besides, injures the fab-
ric. tears off and break buttons,
hooks and snaps.
The Laun-der-ette rests little er ito
more than- other old style electric
wash machines. We don't have to
place this machine in any and every
house and sell it at $1.00 down and
rest when you are ready, because
the Laun-dry-ette sells on its
merits. But we do make demon-
stration by appointment and we
also sell these machines on very
easy terms to responsible people.
Our telephone number is 5347, our
store is 714-716 Ohio avenue. Our
Laun-dry-ette expert will call on
you it you are interested.
