NO MORE MONEY
FOR INVESTIGATION
OF GUNNESS CASE
County Commissionars Decide That
Appropriation Is Only AvaiN
able for Reward.
/ MANY DISCREPANCIES
IN TRUELSON'S DATES
LA PORTE, Ind., June 3.—Further in-
Vestigatlon Into the Ounness case, dig-
ging at the farm and following official
clews, through the sheriff's office was
suddenly stopped today became of a
decision of the County Commissioners
that their understanding is that they
cannot use the 15000 appropriated for
their office by the County Council for
anything but the payment of a reward
for the production of Mrs. Ounness
alive. The County Council appropriated
J9000 for th4 Investigation of the Ounness
case, Joow) for the use of the commis-
sioners, $2600 for the coroner for autop-
sies. etc., and floOO for the judge for
legal assistance in unravelling the mys-
tery. The coroner has already spent
91400 of his allowance. Tile commis-
sioners had $400 In a contingent fund,
which sum has been expended by the
sheriff, who, In addition thereto, has
spent several hundred dollars of his
own money.
A part of Truelson's confession was
exploded today when Sheriff Smulier
received a letter from David Heckon of
Waukesha, Wis., saying that a letter
has been received from hrank Rledlnger,
now In Lincoln, Neb., to the effect that
he is Alive. iTTedlnger, while living at
Delafleld, Wis., corresponded with Mrs.
Guuness and visited her and. according
to Truelson's confession, she murdered
him and he helped bury the body.
TRUELSON MIXES DATES.
Alleged Confession Is Discredited at
Elmira Reformatory.
ELMIRA, N. Y... June 3.—A scarch of
the records of the Elmira reformatory
with regard to Julius Truelson's alleged
confession of participation In many of
Mrs. Ounness' murders at La Porte
shows many discrepancies as to dates.
I'pon Truelson's release! from the E4-
mira Reformatory, Decnikir 20, 19"8, he
was turnde over to a Federal officer and
taken to Portsmouth, N". H., and con-
fined for about one year. It, therefore,
will be seen that his statement that he
went to La Porte December 23, 19*16, and
burled Jennie Olsen in the Qunness
farm and the next day burled John Moe,
and that in May of 1907 he took his wife
to La Porte, where Mrs. Gunness killed
her, cannot be true.

' Women Who Wear Well. #
It Is astonishing bow great a change a
lew year* of married lite often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance ranlsh like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak-
aesscs which too often come with mar-
rlago and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of Its freshness and the lorm of IU
fairness.

LIQUOR QUESTION
MAY BE SUBMITTED
ALL THE SOUTH HONORS HIS MEMORY.
Nothing io Constitution, State
Chairman Believes, to Forbid
Action by Committee.
HAS NOT READ THE
OPINION BY WALTHALL
Special Telegram to The Kxprexa.
PALLAS, Tex., June 3.—George A.
CnrJcn, chairman of the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, was asked
tonight for an expression on the opinion
from the Attorney General's department
concerning the section of tho election law
under which the prohibition submission
question Is to be presented to tho com-
mittee. Mr. Cardcn said:
"1 have not read tho Attorney Gen-
eral's opinion regarding the constitution-
ality of the section of the election law
pertaining to the submission of ques-
tions to voters at general primaries, and
cannot therefore discuss It. 1 do not be-
lieve, however, Uiat thero Is anything In
the Constitution which forbids 10 per
cent of tho voters lo petitioning tho
State Kxecutlve Committee to submit a
question of prohibition, or any other
question, at n general primary, or which
forbids the committee to grant such pe-
tition."
Tho opinion referred to above was
given to Chester 11. Terrell of San An-
tonio in a letter from James D. Walthall,
office usslstant of tho Attorney General.
The letter was In answer to a question
propounded by Will A. Morrlss, accom-
panying a brief written by >lr. Terrell,
In which he argued tho unconstitutional-
ity of the law, and Is as follows:
lion. Will A. Morrlss, San Antonio,
Tex. Dear Sir: We are In receipt of
yours of the 25th ult., together with a
litter addressed to you by Chester H.
Terrell, concerning the constitutionality
of that amendment to the Terrell elec-
tion law which provides that no political
party In this State In convention assem-
bled shall ever place In the platform
or resolution of the party they repre-
sent any demand for specific legislation
until same shall have been submitted to
a direct vote of the people anil shall have
been endorsed by a majority of all the
votes cost in the primary flection of such
party.
It must be confessed that the consti-
tutionality of this amendment is involved
in doubt. I am constrained to say that,
In my opinion, it Is unconstitutional, but
it has never been the policy of this de-
partment to declare a statute unconsti-
tutional In advance of Its having been
so declared by the courts, unless It can
be said It Is clearly unconstitutional be-
yond any douht. We are returning you
herewith the letter addressed to you by
Mr. Terrell. Yours very truly,
JAMES D. WALTHALL.
Office Assistant Attorney General.

WALTHALL MAKES DENIAL.
Declares He Never Declared Section
of Law Unconstitutional.
Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., June 3.-James D. Walt-
hall, Office Assistant Attorney General,
denies in toto the story sent out from
San Antonio that the Attorney General's
department had declared unconstitutional
the amendment to the election law pro-
viding that no political parly shall in-
corporate a demand In its platform for
specific legislation until such demand
shall have been_submltted to a vote of
the people. Mr. Walthall has been pass-
ing on such questions and his statement
follows:
"We received some time ago a letter
from Will A. Morriss In which tho ques-
tion was submitted as to whether or not
the amendment to the election law which
provides that no political party in tills
State sliall ever Incorporate in Its plat-
form any demand for specific legislation
unless tho same shall have been submit-
ted to a vote of the people was Constitu-
tional. We answered this letter by say-
ing that the validity of said amendment
was Involved in doubt, but that it hod
never been the custom of the Attorney
General's department to declare statutes
unconstitutional In advance of their hav-
ing been so declared by the courts un-
less clearly unconstitutional beyond any
doubt. We therefore declined to pass
upon the question submitted. Mr. Morrlss
replied to this letter stating that he be-
lieved the custom a good one, but that
in his opinion the amendment referred
Jto was clearly unconstitutional, sub-
mitting a number of authorities in sup-
port of his contention, and asking if we
did not agree with him. This letter we
have not yet replied to."
RAMSEY CREATis COMMENT.
Judge, However, Gives Reasons In Ap-
plication to Carden.
Dally Express Austin Ilureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Juno 3.—Some com-
ment was created by the action of Judge
W. F. Ramsey filing bis nama with State
Chairman Carden to go on the Demo-
cratic primary ballot, for one provision
of the Constitution says that appoint-
ments on the Court of Criminal Appeals
are for the entire unexpired term of the
retiring or deceased member. Judge Ram-
sejf was appointed to take the late Judge
John Henderson's place on said court.
In his letter to Chairman Carden,
Judge Ramsey gives his reasons for ask-
ing to have his name placed on the
ticket, reviewing the Constitutional pro-
visions thereon. The letter in full is as
follows:
"Austin, Tex., May 23.—Hon. George A.
Carden. chairman, Dallas, Tex. Dear Sir:
On fuller Investigation Into the matter
I have reached the conclusion that there
is a substantial doubt, at least, as to
whether I ain not required, under the
Constitution, to be elected at the next
general election. Section 4 or article 5
of the Constitution In reference to this
court Is as follows:
" 'In case of a vacancy In the office of
a Judge of the Court of Criminal Ap-
peals. the Governor shall fill such office
by appointment for the unexpired term."
"Construing this quotation in connec-
tion with Section 2 of the same article
which provides that vacancies |n the of-
fice of the Supreme Court shall be filled
by appointment by the Governor until
the next general election for State offi-
cers, and that at such general election
the vacancy for the unexpired term shall
bo filled by election by the auallfled
voters of the State, there would seem to
be no sort of doubt that under the Con-
stitution my appointment Is for eald un-
expired term. However, Section 28 of the
same article Is as follows:
," 'Vacancies in the office of the Judges
of tho Supreme Court, the Court of Crim-
inal Appeals, the Court of Civil Appeals
and Wrtrltt Courts Shalt be'filled by the
Governor until the next succeeding gen*
em I election, etc.'
"There would seem, therefore, to be
some conflict and uncertainty as to
whether or not an election is required. In

FEARS DISEASED CATTLE
WILL BE DUMPED IN TEXAS
DR. BRUMBY APPREHENSIVE OF
OTHER STATES' LAWS.
Unless Texas Officials Are Watchful,
He Declares, Diseased Cattle From
North and East Will Be Driven
Across State Line.
Speolal Telegram to The Express.
FORT WORTH. Tex.. June 3.—Diseased
cattle will be dumped upon Texas by
every State In the Union, declared Dr.
Brumby, State Heulth Officer, while in
Fort Worth today, unless tho authorities
of Texas continue extremely alert.
Dr. Brumby fears that Louisiana cattle,
after being pronounced diseased, will be
shipped across the State line into Texas.
In the North and East, too, the Legisla-
tures are beginning to adopt measures to
drive out all diseased cattle, and the
natural dumping ground will bo the
Southwest.
The Stato Health Officer said that dis-
eased cattle arc few in this State now.
He attributes this to the climate and to
the condition nf the range. Only a hand-
ful Of affected cattle have been found
In 1.000,000 tested during the lust twelve
months.

that all rightful authority shall proceed
from the people and the rule established
in respect to all of the offices that the
appointment shall last only until a vote
of the people Can be taken at a general
election, there would seem to be great
force in the suggestion tiiat Section 28
of Article o should control. Of course, if
there is any doubt about It, it ought to
be solved by taking such course as
would remove any possible question as
to the legality of the tenure of the per-
son who is to occupy a position on this
court. I would not. of course, want to
hold a place and would not hold It under
any circumstances If there wero the least
doubt about the Integrity and validity
of my tenure of the position. Besides,
while I am hopeful that I will have no
opposition, I much prefer to risk the
dangers and chnnees of election, than to
hold The position with any possible cloud
on It. I would not care to hold tho place
in any event unless the Democracy, of
Texas was willing that I should bold It.
I am therefore enclosing you herewith
an application In writing, under tho law.
to place my name on the Democratic
ticket to be voted In the primary Jn July
to fill out the unexpired term made va-
cant by tho death of Judge Henderson.
Of course, It would be required that the
candidacy for this place should In some
way bo designated so that It will not con-
flict with tho election to be held for the
full term of six years necessary to be
filled by reason of the expiration of
Judge Davidson's term. Very truly yours,

AMERICAN MONOPOLY
IS NOT TO BE BROKEN
INTERNATIONAL COTTON CON-
GRESS FINISHES ITS LABORS.
Resolutions Adopted Looking to Har-
rr.onious Curtailment in Periods of
Distress—Plan to Create Euro-
pean Reserves.
PARIS, June 3.—The International Cot-
ton Congress finished its labors today and
adjourned to meet in Italy in 1909, either
at Milan or Home, the place and the exact
date to be determined later.
Among the most important resolutions
adopted by the congress was one inviting
all confederated associations in the vari-
ous countries interested in cotton to join
in a harmonious curtailment during pe-
riods of distress arising from over or
under production; unother invites the
European governments to study and ad-
vance the extension of colonial produc-
tion of cotton; a third instructs the cot-
ton contract committee to place before
the legislatures of Europe a recommenda-
tion for tho substitution of the present net
weight basis of purchase a basis which
allows a shrinkage of thirty pounds in a
bale of 500 pounds, and a fourth looks
to the introduction into Europe of the
mutual mill insurance system, now in
vogue in America.
The question of adopting measures In
an effort, to prevent unwholesome specu-
lation in cotton was thoroughly canvassed,
but the only action taken was the adop-
tion of a resolution instructing tho per-
manent committee to study a method
of creating reserves of cotton in Europe
sufficient to insure the European indus-
try against inordinate prices, due to
American speculation.
The congress adopted also in principle
a resolution recommending the perma-
nent committee to prepare annual cotton
statistics, with the object of warning the
industry when manufacture was being
augmented beyond the means of consump-
tion.
The congress further agreed to author-
ize the committee to study the American
preparation for the establishment in the
Southern States of a cotton experiment
station, founded and managed under the
auspices of the foreign industry, for the
purpose of ascertaining the real cost of
production and suggesting methods of
lessening the cost.
The American delegates think that the
efforts of the congress will^ be gpn«*rnlly
helpful, and the foreign delegates recog-
nize there is little hope of breaking tho
American monopoly.

TO PERPETUATE
MEMORY OF CAUSE
LED BY DAVIS
Historic Spots in Cradle of Con-
federacy Are Marked With
Appropriate Ceremonies.
SOUTH HONORS MEMORY
OF JEFFERSON DAVIS
NEW ORLEANS, La., June S.-lIonor
was paid to the memory of Jefferson
Davis all over the South today, the one
hundredth/anniversary of his birth.
At Montgomery, Ala., the cradle of the
Confederacy, and where the Confederate
Government was first organized, with
Jefferson JJavis aw President, ceremonies
were held which will help to perpetuate
thQ memory of the* cause'of which Davis
was the head. ThesCj ceremonies consist-
ed of marking the spots where Davis
was elected, where he was inaugurated,
where his first offiee as President was
situated, and the site of tlie first head-
quarters of the new government. Later
permanent markings will be placed on
theso historic spots.
Simultaneously with the Montgomery
exercises memorial meetings were in
progress from Virginia to Texas, while
business was stopped by holidays in some
-States and slowed down in others as a
tribute to the lifo and deeds of Jeff Da-
vis.
Among the day's celebrations were
those at Kairvtew, In Todd County, Ivy.,
Davis' birthplace, and at Beauvolr, Miss.,
for years his home, and now a Confeder-
ate veterans' home.
Significant among the day's memorials
were many speeches in praise of Davis'
lofty character and analysis of control-
ing principles of his life. In general the
tenor of theso speeches was that of the
remarks of Bishop Charles B. Galloway
of Oxford, Miss., when he said that Da-
vis made every effort to avert the clash
between the States, and that ho was
one of the conservative men of the Civil
War period.
In New Orleans the site of a monu-
ment to President Davis was dedieated.
The details of this monument have not
been decided upon yet, but it is proposed
to erect an imposing memorial and to
further this purpose, the Confederate or-
ganizations and tlie people of the South
will be given an opportunity to contrib-
ute towards erecting the monument. This
strueture will stand in Audubon Park.
It will face Tulane University, from
which it will be separated by the most
beautiful street in the city, St. Charles
Avenue-
In addition to the Davis memorials the
day was generally observed in mark ng
the graves of the Confederate soldiers.
