NEWS AT STATE CAPITAL
HAUR1MAN IS
BUILDING A LINE
TO KANSAS CITY
Gulf and Missouri River Railroad
Will Be Rival of Frisco-
Rock Island Lines.
ROAD WILL HOLD
A FINE TERRITORY
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 2.—The Gulf &
Missouri River Railroad Company, a
new Harriman project, which has been
chartered at Topeka, Kan., to build a
railroad from Kansas City to Denison,
Tex., will afford the Southern Pacific
System in Texas a direct outlet to the
North.
The new road will connect with the
Houston & Texas Central at Denison.
'f he new Yoakum system will have been
completed to Houston by the first of
the coming year, through the extension
of the Trinity & Brazos Valley.
When this line reaches Houston the
traffic of the Rock Island, the v risco
and the Colorado Southern systems will
be diverted to the new route. The Hous-
ton & Texas Central, which has been
enjoying a big share of this traffic,
will be cut off completely and will oc-
cupy an isolated position until its own
connection with the North and North-
west is obtained.
At thf hearing before the Railroad
Commission here a few weeks ago on
the proposition to reduce the passenger
fare of the Houston & Texas Central
the representatives of that road laid
great stress upon the serious loss of
revenue that the completion of the Trin-
ity & Brazos Valley and the resultant
diversion of traffic to that road would
fcrce upon thf Houston & Texas Central.
By building their own line from Deni-
son to Kansas City the Harriman inter-
ests will be in an independent position
so far as the traffic between the Middle
West and Northwest and the port of
Galveston is concerned. The Union Pa-
cific, with which the new line will con-
nect at Kansas City, drains that great
territory, which is also reached by the
Rock Island and the Frisco systems.
NO ALTERNATE DELEGATES.
Assistant Attorney General Again
Tells About Delegates to the
State Convention.
Daily Express Austin Burtau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 2.—Assistant At-
torney General Claude Pollard said to-
day that the Democrats of the State
should again bo advised that under the
general election law they cannot elect
more delegates to the State convention
at the county conventions next Saturday
than the respective counties have con-
vention votes.
In other words, there must be one dele-
gate to each convention vote of a county
and no more. It will be illegal, he says,
tor alternates to be elected. Tf only one
delegate from a county should attend the
State convention he will be entitled to
cast the whole vote of that county.
NEW INCORPORATIONS.
Several Charters Were Filed Yester-
day With Secretary of State.
Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 2.—The charters
of the following corporations were filed
today in the Secretary of State's office:
Southern Cotton Chopper Company of
Dallas, Mineola and Houston; capital
stock, $300,000. Incoporators, John B.

M. Marx, all of Galveston.
The Texas Bag and Fiber Company of

was granted a permit to do business in

BELL HAS CONFIDENCE.
His Friends Figure That His Conven-
tion Vote Will Be Heavy.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 2.—The friends of
Judge C. K. Bell have greater confi-
dence than at any time since the pri-
maries that he will be nominated for
Governor by the convention.
They say that when all of the popular
vote is counted and the calculating on
the basis of the vote cast for Governor
at the last election is finished it will he
shown that Judge Bell exceeds all of the
other candidates except Colonel Camp-
bell in the convention vote.
This claim is based on the fact that
Judge Bell's vote is not excessive in any
of the counties and that, therefore, none
of it will be lost to him in arriving at
the convention vote. Campbell, Brooks
and ColqUitt all suffered in this respect.
CITY WAS DAMAGED.
Reservoir Above Durango Burst and
Flooded the City.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 2.—According to a
letter received here today by W. E.
Brady from his son, J. E. Brady, as-
sistant superintendent of the Durango
M nes Development Company of Du-
rar go, Mcx., that city of 50.000 popula-
tion waL inundated by the bursting of
the large reservoir of the Iron works
there a few days ago.
IJ« says that the water covered the
sticets to a depth of three feet, and that
a number of adobe buildings crumiaed
and that several children are reported to
hove been drowned.
Tlx- torrential rains did much damage
to Durango and the surrounding country,
he sayL.
FARMERS' UNION
MADE STRONG FIGHT
IN THE PRIMARIES
Their Strength Seems to Have Been
Directed Against Judge Storey
for Railroad Commission.
THEY MAY HAVE MOST
OF THE LEGISLATURE
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 2. —There is good
evidence that the Farmers' Union vote
played an important part in determining
the result of the recent Democratic pri-
maries as to some of the candidates for
State office. While the union took no
open part in the contests, it is stated
that its chief officers favored a certain
ticket which was quietly passed around
to the local unions over thf State. There
was nothing mandatory about supporting
the choice of these leaders, but the sug-
gestion was generally followed, as is
easily seen by the drift of the vote In
the counties where the Farmers' Union
has Its principal strength.
The Farmers' Union leaders were op-
posed to the re-election of-^Judge L. J.
Storey. This fact has been known for
some time, but it was not supposed that
they would undertake to direct the vote
of th«- members of that organization in
opposition to him. But this seems to
have been what was done. The heavy
and unexpected vote which William D.
Williams received in tlie counties where
the Farmers' Union is strong is due to
that support.
It is said that the Farmers' Union has
elected a majority of the members of the
Legislature. It is known that the efforts
of the organization were to be directed
particularly along that line. Members of
the last Legislature who did not vote ac-
cording to the demands of the lobby of
the Farmers' Union who were there dur-
ing the session were openly told that
they would be defeated for re-election.
This threat has been made good in sev-
eral instances. The Farmers' Union and
the union labor interests worked hand in
hand at the last two sessions of the Leg-
islature and it is expected that their
forces will be combined again at the
coming session.
STOREY CLAIMS VICTORY.
His Campaign Manager Has Definite
Knowledge.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN. Tex.. Aug. 2.—James L. Sto-
re*/ of Loekhart, campaign manager for
hi.? father, Judge L,. J. Storey, was here
today and said he has complete returns
from llo counties which held primaries
Srturdcj and whose convention vote is
4K). Of this number Judge L. J. Storey
has received 224 convention votes for
Railroad Commissioner and Mr. Williams
has received 19H convention votes.
Incomplete returns from the remain-
ing counties clearly show that Judge Sto-
rey wil' increase his lead and will be
nominated by a good majority.
WILL CONSIDER COMMON POINTS
Railroad Commission Will Probably
Meet Soon to Take Action.
Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex . Aug. 2.—It is expected
that when the excitement of the political
campaign is over the Railroad Commis-
sion will take up the complaint of a num-
ber of West Texas towns against the ac-
tion of the Southwestern tariff com-
mittee in readjusting the Texas common
point territory so as to place them out-
side the bounds of that favored region.
The commission's suggestion that the
Texas roads take action looking to the
relief of the complaining towns has met
with a refusal on the part of the State
roads, and it remains to be seen what
the commission can do to remedy the
situation.

Commissioners in Trouble.
The energy of local agents for type-
writing machines has caused the last
few meetings of the County Commis-
Bicners to end in quarrels. The Com-
missioners have been unable to purchase
a typewriter for County Assessor Albert
V. Huth, and now all bids are thrown
or I One agent offers a second-hand
nachire that has never been used a
few (hilars cheaper than another new
machinc, and both contest the sale until
the Commissioners join one side or an-
other and have to adjourn.

R. W. Dowe Believes Deputy's Offlct
Should Be Filled by Local
Applicant.
"I am Inclined to believe that the per-
manent appointment to the ofHce of
Deputy Collector of Customs here should
be made from the San Antonio citizen-
ship," said Collector of Customs R. W.
Dowe of Eagle Pass, who is here to check
up the books and accounts of the late
C. M. Ferguson.
Continuing Mr. Dowe said the perma-
nent appointment would not be made un-
til after the Republican State convention,
which meets in El Paso August 13 ana
14.
From Mr. Dowe's remarks that the
place properly belongs to a San Antonio
man it might be inferred that such will
be his selection. His statement that ap-
pointment will be withheld until the
Republican convention is over would
naturally lead to the conclusion that se-
lection for th«' office will be In the na-
ture of a political favor. Mr. Dowe's
declining to answer whether the appoint-
ment would be made from the civil serv-
ice, too, might be taken to substantiate
this conclusion.
Mr. Dowe will be here a f«w days at-
tending to affairs pertaining to the local
custom house. He arrived last night
on Col. Otto Wahrmund's private car,
accompanying the Colonel on the latter's
return from Mexico from as far as Eagle
Pass.
