AUSTIN, Tex.. Dec. 10.—Before final nrt
Journment today the Texas division of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy, in
aunnnl session, adopted a resolution rec-
ommending that the Legislature give Foard
County Its correct aliening aud call it Rip
Ford. It now is misspelled as Foard.
Miss Katie Daffan's motion to "can" the
rebel yell for future generations oy bar
ing it made Into phonograph records was
adopted aud the National United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy will be asked to
adopt a similar motion.
A motion to change the regular annual
sessions from October to December whs
lost by falling to receive a two-thlriU
vote. The present session was especially
arranged.
A motion was considered to offer the
West Point Military Academy a Confed
erate flag to be placed in the academy's
collection of flags of the earth. The Na
tlonal Association will act in the matter.
Mrs. E. 0. Spencer of San Antonio, the
newly elected president, appeared before
(Lie convention today and thanked the dele-
gates for the honor conferred.
Additional funds have been raised for
the Shlloh Monument and pledges takeu
for the memorial window to be placed In
(he Red Cross building to be erected at
Washington. Three windows are to b«
|.i« ced -one from the North, one from the

ing the union of the North and South.
ENDORSK JEKKEKSON HIGHWAY.
A resolution was adopted encouraging
the proposed Jefferson Davis highway
from Washington to San Diego, Cal. Oov
ernor Ferguson previously appointed a
committee to act with committees of other
8tates Interested in the proposed high
way.
A neat sum was collected for a largo
Vletrola for the Confederate Home.
Numerous committees, chapter and de-
partment reports were mude. The ten-
dency is to build up the chapters instead
of scattering chapters broadcast. As a
result the attendance Is not as large ns
In former years, but the Interest was
greater.
DENIES CRITICISM.
Mrs. Hal W. Oreer of Laredo stated to
the convention that newspaper reports that
she criticised or intended any criticism
of President Wilson's forthcoming mar
rlage was erroueous. She said while she
was on her feet another delegate remarked
that the President's course was "undigni-
fied'' and In that situation her uame waB
confused with the person making the re
mark. She said It was not her desire to
crltlze or comment upon the private af-
fairs of the President.
A committee was appointed to go to
Wuxiihai lite tomorrow to attend the fu-
neral of Mrs. S. H. Watson, being composed
of Miss Daffan, Austin; Mesilames Affleck
and Williams, Brenham; Stacy, MeConnell
ami Downs, Dallas.
Did Not Criticize President.
The Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Dec. 10—Mrs. Hal W.
flreer of Laredo gave out the following
statement tonight:
"The matter given so much prominence
in your paper this morning to the effect,
that I declared In the convention of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy that
President's Wilson engagement was an
noiinced too soon Is false. I expressed no
criticism whatever of the President's net
and stated In open meeting that the con-
vention had no right to discuss President
Wilson's private affairs."
Packers to Settle Next Week.
The Exyross Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., I>ec. 10.—It was lesrned
today that the suit of the State against the
Swift, Armour and Morris packerles will
not be formally settled by court Judgment
until uext week, probably Tuesday or
Wednesday. The terms of the settlement
have been' agreed upon and the Judgment
Is prepared for approval of the court, but
the necessary signature to all documents
has been delayed because of the distance
of the non resident defendants. The terms
of the settlement will not be made public
until the Judgment is formally entered.
The Kipre^a Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN. Tex., Dec. 10.—A committee
from the Texas lines traffic departments
conferred with the Railroad Commission
Joday relative to a situation which has
grown out of the interstate Commerce
Commission in au Oklahoma case involving
the rates on sash, doors, blinds and kin-
dred lumber articles. They ask for a re-
adjustment of the Texas rates to conform,
otherwise a coufilct with the interstate
Commission is inevitable as that body
said that the Texas commission rates on
the articles named were unreasonable. The
traffic men ask that the matter be ad
Justed along with the commission's de-
cision in the advauee rate case.
The Texas minimum rate on sash, doors
aud blinds, say from Waco is 10 cents per
luu pounds. The Interstate Commission
adopted a rate of 17 cents from Oklahoma
and Shreveport to the Dallas-Fort Worth
section and au lS\-cent rate to Texas
common points. These figures it declared
reasonable and the Texas 10 cent rate un-
reasonable and directed the carriers to
change it. The Texas commission is asked
to make the change and prevent a contro-
versy with the Interstate body. It will
probably make the necessary order.
It transpires that the Texas commis-
sion is Row c msidertng the advance rate
case, that where the lines are asklug for
an Increase in rates, and has asked its
rate experts to prepare certain tariffs,
tables and figures bearing on the case
This is takeu to mean that the commission
may grant some increases in certain In-
stances, but not near all of those asked
by tbe roads uad to the extent desired. As
soon as the rate experts prepare the fig
ures, which may be ready shortly, a decis-
ion or partial adjustment may be an
ounced. The next ten days may see
thu announcement.
The committee to see the commission
today was composed of J. F. Garvin, gen
eral freight agent Kitty Lines; J. II. Payne,
assistant general freight agent Texas &
Pacific, and Gentry Waldo of the freight
traffic department of the Sunset-Central
Line*.

be made a crime for any person to escape

any event authority should be given to
some Government department to arrest aud

Why Tolerate Gatarrii?
You have noticed.no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarah, and Ihe
flow of mucous amazes you that such
objectionable matter couJd find lodg-
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsides is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate linings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse Ae nos-
trils frequently with a solution of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re-
tiring, and take a spoonful of Scott's
Emulsion after meals for one month.
Scott's acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
glycerine to check the inflammation
and heal the aensitiVe membranes.
Scott's is pleasant to take.
