for July, September and December all
fled up past the dollar mark today and
stayed there to the close, with the pit in
a condition which a local newspaper de-
scribes as a "brain storm."
Erstwhile mythical dollar wheat being
a. reality, phophesy took on new enthus-
iasm and talked of $1.25 wheat. It was
this sort of talk, coupled with reitera-
tions of previous short crop predictions,
which brought a flood of buying orders
into the market today and sot a new rec-
ord for the volume of business done.
News from California was surprising.
Ordinarily that. State is h good wheat
producer, but today bought bore half a
million bushels of real wheat to be de-
livered at her granaries, and predictions
from that State are that It will need
close to 10,000,000 bushels ere long.

AI SI IN, Tex., May 17.—In referring
to the revenue bills passed by the
rhirtieth legislature which has been ap-
proved, Governor Campbell gave out the
following statement this afternoon:
"The public interests now being mani-
fested in the revenue laws enacted by
the Legislature and the many inquiries
relative then to will, 1 trust, justify a
brief review of the, laws, and I present
this statement for the information of
the people and to correct any misappre-
hension as to the effect thereof.
First. 1 he charter foe bill increases
the fees heretofore charged by the State
of Texas lor the granting of charters for
domestic corporations and for permits
for foreign corporations to do business
in Texas and make the feels charged in
tl is State for such purposes about what
Jt is in the other States.
This new law is estimated to yield
about $170,000 per annum to the general
ravenue of Texas, or about $85,000 a year
more than the State has heretofore de-
rived from these sources.
Second. The new franchise tax law in-
creases the franchise tax upon both for-
eign and domestic corporations upon
capital stock in excess of $100,000, mak-
ing the tax upon the excess of the. cap-
ital stock above $100,000 conform more
eoiially to that charged the smaller cor-
porations having a capital stock of more
i than $100,000. The franchise tax upon
these smaller corporations was levied at
the same figures as that heretofore
charged.
It is estimated that, the new law will
yield about $600,000 annually to the gen-
eral revenue fund or about $350.wo more
than that heretofore realized from the
same source.
Third. The gross receipts tax bill
which Imposes a gross receipts occupa-
tion tax upon express companies, tolc-
! graph, telephone and insurance com-
panies, sleeping ear companies, ear hir-
ing and other public service corporations
receiving car hire and rental, will yield
about $600,000 per annum, three-fourths
of which will, under the constitution go
to the general avenue avenue fund of
the State and one-fourth to the avail-
able school fund, and it is estimated that
this will give the general revenue fund
from this source about $4.r»0,000, or about
$250,000 more per annum than has here-
tofore been derived from the same
source, and this item of taxation, as will
b • seen, will yield $150,000 to the avail-
able school fund, using the estimates
furnished me. which 1 deem to be ap-
proximately correct.
Liquor Bill Tax.
Forth. The now law taxing liquor
dealers will increase that tax 25 per cent.
From this source under the old law
for the year ending August 31, 1906. $66.{.-
450 was derived, and under the now law,
making no allowance for the usual in-
crease. it is estimated that there will
be derived from this source as a result
of the new law 1*29,036 per annum or an
it crease of $165,S62.50. three-fourths of
which increase, viz: $124,.'*90.08 will go to
general revenue, and one-fourth, viz:
$41,465.62 to the available school fund.
Fifth. The inheritance tax bill. The
estimate of the State's revenue to bo de-
rived from this bill is largely proble-
matical, but basing the same upon the
experience of other States and countries,
it is believed by the tax officials that
the sum of $100.000 will be derived per
annum from this source and that the
same bill will increase from year to
year with the increasing wealth and de-
velopment. of the State.
Sixth. The bill taxing Intangible as-
sets which require the Tax Assessors
and County Commissioners' Courts when
sitting as boards of equalization to place
the intangible assets of railroad com-
panies upon the tax rolls at the valua-
tion placed on them by the State Tax
Board, and the State Tax Board is re-
quired to fix the same at full value.
These intangible assets were fixed by
the board last year at about $18o,000,000,
but of this sum only $32,000,000 were
placed on the tax rolls for taxation in
the entire State. This law was attacked
by the railroad companies, but it was
upheld by the Supreme Court of the
State in a recent decision, and under the,
new law as amended and enacted by the
Thirtieth legislature, between one hun-
dred and eighty and two hundred mill-
ions of dollars of railroad intangible as-
sets will be added to the tax rolls for
State and county taxation and the ad i
valorem rate fixed for other property in j
this State will be applied thereon. All i
these assets save and except the $.'12.-
000,000 on the tax rolls last year has
heretofore escaped taxation. The rate i
of taxation last year was 20 cents on '
♦ he one hundred dollars. The maximum
for the present year is fixed at 16 2-3
cents, which is required to be re-
duced from time to time In pro-
portion to the increase of tax-
able values as shown by the aggre-
gate of all the tax rolls of the State. If,
however, we use fhe maximum tax rate
of 16 2-3 cents the additional intangible
assets which will be placed on the tax
rolls as a result of this law will in-
crease the State's general revenue about
$300,000 and to the State School Fund, us-
ing the maximum school tax rate fixed
by law, $360,000 and for county purposes
iri the same will be taxed in like pro-
portion, all of which will depend upon
the ad valorem rate fixed by the County
Commissioners' Courts for county pur-
poses. These amounts will, of course, be
reduced In proportion as the several tax
rates are lowered under the automatic
tax law passed by the legislature.

IS KILLED BY
MARION HOPE
Tragedy in Iron Front Saloon
Makes Another Chapter in Cele-
brated Columbus Feud.
ASSAILANT FIRES FIVE
SHOTS, FOUR EFFECTIVE
Forty Minutes After Shooting Victim Ex-
pires, Referring Inquiry as to the
Cause to His Slayer for Explana-
tion—Long Line of Carnage.
S. M. Hope, better known as Marlon
Hope, shot and killed Jim Coleman last
night at 10:30 o'clock in the back room
of the Iron Front saloon at the intersec-
tion of St. Mary and PJast Houston
Streets.
Both men were formerly from
Columbus, and the trouble grows out of
an old shooting affair there.
Hope walked into the saloon with a
number of friends and saw Coleman He
fired immediately. He says Coleman had
reached for his gun and was about to
fire. Coleman received bullet wounds in
the chest near the heart and in the stom-
ach. As he was falling two more shots
lodged in the spine. Hope fired one more
shot and then ran outside to load his
pistol, being under the impression, he
said, that Coleman had a gun.,
George Shoaf, who had been in the back
room of the saloon talking to Coleman,
ran out and told Hope that Coleman was
hit and could not shoot. Hope then put
his cartridges in his pocket and on learn-
ing that Shoaf is an officer, turned over
his gun and surrendered.
Coleman rolled about on the floor of
the room n great pain, while the crowd
in the so; >oti and neighborhood' made
hasty exodus. He was given whiskey
and lee water, but pushed it away and
bogged the crowd to go and let him diqi
in peace. When he was told that he
was not mortally hurt he would look at
the wounds In his body, then smile sar
castically and say: "No, I know; it's all
off with mo." He continued to repeat
these words and others to the same ef
feet until he died. When asked about
the trouble he referred the inquirer to
Hope and said Hope could tell all about
it.
Coleman died forty minutes after the
shooting occurred. He was attended by
Dr. TL L. Withers about five minutes be-
fore he died.
Hope was taken to the county jail by
Detective Shoaf.
Coleman's body was searched but offi-
cers say no pistol was found.
Hope Talks Briefly.
When seen last night after he was
placed under arrest, Marion Hope said:
"1 have no statement to make. I will
probably make a statement in the morn-
ing or some time later, after 1 have had
more time to think."
"What did you shoot him for?" was
asked.
"lie shot because he (bought he was
justified in killing him." said George
Shoaf. who had charge of the prisoner.
"He killed my brother," said Mr. Hope,
and over since ho killed my brother he
has been saying he was going to kill
me. T didn't want any trouble. lie laid
for my brother and shot him with a
shotgun when ho wasn't looking."
Hope was calm and talked clearly and
coherently. He asked about the condition
of Coleman and listened to the report
without emotion.
He declined to make any statement, to
the officer at first. When asked again
about, the circumstances Hope said: "I
was walking along the street with some
friends and we just happened to drop in
to get a drink. We strolled back there
and I saw Coleman. Ho made a dive for
bis hip pocket. I knew what that meant.
He never was known to be without a gun.
So I pulled my gun and fired."
Mr. Shoaf, who was sitting at the table
with Coleman talking, says that when
Tlope walked in the latter said: "There's
the — now," and pulled bis
gun and began shooting. Mr. Shoaf says
lie does not know what Coleman did, that
he was watching Hope.
Hope is about forty years of age, dark,
well dressed, medium height and has a
pieaslng address. He has many friends
throughout this section of the State who
it is expected will come to his assist-
ance.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Ma.v 17.—In a
statement tonight. Mayor Schmitz said:
"The statement that I have handed the
reins of government to any person or
committee is an unqualified falsehood. I
called the Committee of Fifty togegther
some time ago in order that I might have
advice from the best citizens of the city
in a financial and industrial crisis. This
Committee of Fifty formed sub-commit-
tees in order that the work might be
systematized, and one of these Is the so-
called Committee of Seven. I have not
resigned, nor yielded my prerogatives to
anybody and any statement to the con-
trary is a malicious falsehood. There is
no reason why 1 should pass over the
reins of government to other persons.
"As for Ruef's charges, I will say he
has never paid me any. bribe money, and
ho knows it. If he says he paid bribe
money to me he simply lies. I only know
that ho has made such charges, from
what I am told and from the news-
papers."

Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., May 17—Both the. 8tat*
and the defense announced ready for trial
in the ouster and penalty suit of the
State, against the Waters-Pierce Oil Com*
pany.
This announcement came after Judgs
Brooks had overruled the motion for a
change of venue from Travis County by
the defense.
Pending the opening of the trial Mon*
day morning at 10 c'eljck, Judge Brooks
ordered Sheriff Matthews to select a spe-
cial venire of 100 jurymen. The jury
which has been in attendance upon court
for the last week will be discharged.
The defense announced ready for trial
under protest, because of Judge Brooks'
failure to rule on the answer of the de-
fense to a motion made by the State to
produce certain witnesses and documents,
the witnesses being officers of the Wa-
ters-Pierce Oil Company, and the docu-
ments records of that, company.
Several days ago the State made a
motion to produce, under a law passed
by the Thirtieth Legislature, which re-
quires a defendant, foreign corporation to
produce documents and witnesses under
penalty of judgment, by default.
The defense claimed in its answer that
provision had not been made in the law
for the expense of bringing witnesses to
Texas and to pay the expenses of u ns -
porting documents. The court held that
i» was not proper for him to rule on this
point before tease went to trial. Mr.
Penh for the defense objected to going1
to trial before the court had ruled on
that point. The objection was overruled.
It is under this protest that the case will
go to trial.
It is now admitted that the majority
of the stock of the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company is owned by the Standard. Tho
case will go to trial on the issue of
whether the Waters-Pierce Oil Company
is a. trust within the meaning of the
Texas statutes, and whether it has vio-
lated the anti-trust laws. An attempt:
may be made to prove the company
gained its admission fraudulently to
strengthen the case.
Bailey Row Not a Issue.
Judge Brooks held that the. Bailey con-
troversy was not an issue In the motion
for a. change of venue. The State may
make this an issue in connecting the old
with the now Waters-Pierce Oil Com-
pany.
Judge Brooks overruled the motion of
the defense for a change of venue from
Travis County following his ruling which
permitted the admission In evidence of
the agreement between the State and tha
New York attorneys for the Waters-
Pierce Oil Company that it should be ad-
mitted; that the majority of the stock
of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company la
owned and controlled by the Standard
Oil Company.
Immediately after Judge Brooks* ruling
the attorneys for the defense filed mo-
tions to vacate two orders of the State
Issued April HO, 1907. for the officers of
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company to pro-
duce certain of tlie company's books and
to bring certain officers and employes
of the company to Austin to aid in tho
trial of the case. This order was issued
upon authority of a law passed by tho
Thirtieth Legislature requiring foreign
corporations to produce books and docu-
