company, the Houston oil concern,
today filed an amendment to its
charter, Increasing its capital stock
I oui ,000,000 to $50,000,000 and

continues to be the largest Texas cor-
poration that has ever existed, and
James L. Autrey, who was here with
the amendment, could not say for
what purpose the additional capital
would be used. It is supposed that
It is to be for enlargements and im-

SCHOLASTIC CENSUS.
The taking of the scholastic cen-
sus has been completed, in going over
the ground, but there is much work
yet to be done In securing names of
those missed and In totalling.
It Is especially requested by Super-
intendent Kimball that he be notifi-
ed of any children who were missed
by the enumerator. Some families
were not at home when he called and
new families have located since the
work began. Where it Is even sus-
pected that children have not been
enumerated, parents or neighbors are
requested to phone the superintend-
ent at his office, and he will have
the cases Investigated and entered,
If not already on the lists.
As regards the total number of
pupils this year, as compared with
last, a forgAast of the report is that
there will l>e slight difference. The
Indications are that Temple's ln-
• crease in population has not been
of those within the scholastic age.

(Special to The Teiegr^jn)
Topeka, Kan., May 20.—Mrs. Ella
Wilson, mayor of Hunjiewell, Kan.,
may be criticised for aome of her po-
licies, or for some of her acts as a
municipal executive, but she draws
the line on cartoonists, especially
when the cartoonist combines his ar-
tistic efforts with poetry.
Mayor WilBon wrote a letter to the
governor, which was in turn referred
to the attorney general, containing a
complaint of a cartoon in a Glasgow,
Scotland, paper.
The drawing, with poem attached,
pictured a woman policeman arrest-
ing a burley burglar. .
"Don't twist my ann," said the
burglar, "I'll go quietly."
Mrs. Wilson also complained to the
attorney general that her city coun-
cil refused to meet at the place de-
signated by her. Attorney General
Dawson gave her some political ad-
vice. He replied: ,
"Smile, and do not take too serious-
ly the comment made by citizens..
When one enters politics he or she
must be prepared to take criticism.
All tbe little doings of a public of-
ficer occupying the high office of
mayor are the subjects of free com-
ment on the part of the free citizen-
ship."

Commission Finds Clark Survey in
1859, Correct. ^
(Special to The Telegram)
Farwell, Tex., May 20.—Citizens
of Farwell*in heading their letters
"Farwell, Texas," now can rest as-
sured that it really is Texas and not
New Mexico. The fifty-yea/ dispute
over the New Mexico-Texas bound-
ary line has at last been definitely
settled. F. M. Cockrell, chairman of
the boundary commission, having
just announced here that^the former
John H. Clark survey, in 1859, was
absolutely correct.
The present line will Stan# un-
changed. New Mexico had claimed
a strip of fertile land running near-
ly the entire western length of Tex-
as, basing their allegation on the re-
port of Arthur D. Kidder and W. L.
Twitchell that Clarke's compass had
become magnetized and that his sur-
vey was-wrong in some places and
that much Texas land really was a
part of New Mexico. But the com-
miaaion which has just finished the
new «urvey finds that Clark had
made no mistakes.
Because of the alleged errors In
the Clark survey, border warfare was
at t^mee threatened In years past.
Several killings resulted and many
feuds started over the disputed ter-
ritory. The strip in question is
worth many millions ,of dollars now,
whereas many years ago it could
hav» been bought for a song. The
present surveying party la putting
up monuments every mile aibng the
103d meridian to mark the lint and
avoid further strife. If the survey
should have resulted as the New-
Mexicans desired, not only Farwell
but the -towns fof Bronco, 811*0,
Eclipse, Vovinia', Frlona, Fladlay,
Bolce, Adrian, Bravo, Texline, Pamer-
ton, Plaint, Middlewater and Black

tion, having been given a try-out by
Boston in the National league and

THOSE EASY RUNS.
Veteran Engineers Get Choice Placei
on Santa Fe Trains.
H ———
Engineers R. T. Fleming and C. A.
Cahoon, the two oldest service engi-
neers on the Santa Fe system, and
who have been pulling trains out of
Temple since the year one, have land-
ed in what railroad men consider to
be "soft jobs."
As per the system of seniority,
wherein the oldest men get the choice
of the runs of the road, these two
veterans being given their pick, se-
lected the new passenger trains, 11
and 12, and their run is to Cleburne
and return. What makes the job
an especially good one is that they
leave here at 7 in the morning and
run just one' hundred miles, return-
ing and arriving home at 10 o'clock
at night. Alternate days are lay-off
periods, hence the run gives them
every night at home, and every other
day they can go fishing, or form
plans to suit themselves.
There are other choice runs on the
road, but this one is just about as
nearly perfect as trainmen ever fall
heir to, and the worthy engineers
who have the Job are to be congrat-
ulated on there being something to
their liking.

and iu proprietorship, with the addi-
tion to the firm of Mr. A. J. Reynolds,
who is well known *) Temple peo-
ple, he having been with the house

Reynolds has been in bad health for
some time, and his cousin who now
acquires an interest, had been in
charge while tbe elck man sought
return of health ou a ranch in South-
west Texas. The rest and change
of scene were highly beneficial, and
Mr. Reynolds returned and resumed
business, but by advice of physicians
he will lay aside business cares for
a period longer, and will return to
the open, until health is fully re-
stored, the leiipth of time of his ab-
sence from the «ity to be determined
in the progress of his return to full
strength. During his absence Mr.
Jake Reynolds, now a partner, will
be tbe active business manager.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
IN SOCIAL SESSION
Since the issue of handsome Invi-
tations by Eminent Commander W.
Goodrich Jones of the Temple Cotu-
mandery No. 41, Knights Templar,
for the reception and drill given ftt
the Masonic Temple on Friday eve-
ning, the Sir Knights and their la-
dies had dated all things from that
anticipated occasion. The event In
its brilliant success and the pleasure
and benefit engendered, proved that
no undue credit had been bestowed.
By invitation of the "host a large
houseparty was formed, the occasion
was honored with the presence of a
number of out-of-town members, the
rooms were in gala dress, some beau-
tiful toilettes were worn and withal
there was quite the air of social bril-
liancy to supplement the fraternal
feature which wtre, of course, dotu-
inaut._
The Sir Knigbts, their wjves and
women friends wore called to order
In the lodge roopi at 9 o'clock. Only
members of the Temple Commander)'
wtre present, none others having
been included in the invitation list.
Mr. Jones as host of the occasion ad-
dressed his guests in happy words of
welcome and dwelt at length on the
work of the order, seeking thereby
to renew the Interest of each mem-
ber and promote a fresh zeal among
the ranks. Entering briefly into sta-
tistics he told of having received six-
teen new members into the lodge
since the beginning of the year and
at present there were as many more
in waiting. The financial condition,
he reported to be most encouraging
and the attendance at conclaves in-
dicative of the high value set by the
members upon such gatherings Oth-
er speakers of the Evening who held
the largo company in deep interest
were Messrs. H. A R. Orey. F. F.
Downs, W. E. Willis. Charles M
Campbell, W. O. Cox, W. E. Hall,
John H. Patterson, A. W. Lingo and
Rev. E. C. Seaman, the latter being
the youngest Sir Knight present.
The drill which the"\jodge is fea-
turing prominently at this time was
an interesting maneuver under the
command of Drill Master Maynard
Robinson. The team was composed
of volunteers who had had but lit-
tle practice and though there are
some things in military tactics yet
to be learned, it was full credit
which was reflected upon Mr. Rokln-
son who has acquired considerable
luster as a director of the drill work
of the order, having trained the
Cleburne Commandery which took
the state prize in Infantry tactics
some years ago. Some tword maneu-

Women Live Longer
Than Men, Oklahoma
Investigator Finds
(By Associated Proa)
New York, May 20.—Women live
longer than men, according to statis-
tics on the comparative longelvity of
the sexes, prepared by Dr. A. H.
Stewart of Lawton, Ok., for a New
•fork medical organization. The in-
vestigator finds that according to the
census returns there are 4000 cen-
tenarians in this country, of whom
2S00 are women.
Dr. Stewart further declares that
women require less oxygen than
men, endure more heat, stand more
rarefied air, suffer less from anaes-
thetics and also are "more likely to
survive hanging." Men die sudden-
ly more often than do women and
men suffer from baldness more fre-
quently. It Is also found that there
are more variations from the normal
among men than among women, but
geniuses, including mathematical
prodigies* are more frequent among
men. On the other hand, idiots and
(ranks are less frequent amoug wo-
men.

Juarez, Mex., May 20.—Madero re-
ceived a telegram from Dias today
suggesting that he send some person
to Mexico City, in whom Madero had
confidence to treat with Senor De l>a
Barra concerning peace terms. Later
Maderu was being urged to Issue a
proclamation declaring peace, inas-
much as a sufficient agreement had
been reached, but he thought such a
course unnecessary.
Judge Carabajal. federal emissary,
will leave here Sunday night for San
Antonio and will return in a few
days to Mexico City. Most of the
members of the Madero family left
tonight for San Antonio. This in
itself is regarded as a sure Indica-
tion of peace.
