GENERAL NELSON A. MILES
NOTED INDIAN FIGHTER, DIES
I
Washington - Lieutenant General
Nelson A Miles, nextor of American
army leaders. premier Indian fighter,
diplomat and author, has taken the.
long trail
11ih career, spanning four of the nil
important military period* of his coun-
try's history, ended suddenly Friday
in the big tent of a circus just as a
fanfare of trumpets announced the
opening pageant
Ueueral Miles was surrounded by
happy children, including those of his
own family's third generation, excited
over th" prospect of witnessing a re
production of scenes which In their
actuality had occupied so important a ]
phase of his ow n life.
Turning to Mrs W R Noble, moth
er of his daughter in law, the general
complained that he felt ill Before
help could lie summoned he collapsed
BOARD DID NOT TAKE
OATH. STATE AVERS
Austin, Tex \nswer of the state
in the textbook mandamus eases, com-
pleted Friday, makes declarations
that are akin to sensational, in lb t*
It is usserted the members of the
state textbook commission which lot
the contrails last December did not
properly take the outli of office, there-
fore all ot their cases are null and
void and of no effect
It is farther argued that the state |
board of education lias the sole power
to dispose of the matter of the con j
tracts and the ordering of now books;
furthermore, that these suits are suits
agalnfft the stale and can not be main
tallied p'i'ause the legislature did not
authorize uV'tn. End a'so '',a' they
are suits against gow ruor of Hie
state. as the governor i " president
of the state board of education a.*1*',
in effect, a defendant in the cases
The governor can not be sued under
the law
Absolute denial is made that any
contracts exist, and that If they do.
they «re null and void. The denial of
the contracts Is based on the alleged
absence of proper oath of office and
the nullity Is based on alleged viola
tlon of the law limiting the changes to
one-sixth of the books in any one
year. All of these seek to raise <juea
tions of fact.
