mittee composed of three members each
"representing all the leading agricultural
and live stock associations In t tie State.
Including tlie Texas Farmers' congress
the Texas Cattle Kaisers' association and
all allied organisations." He says fur-
ther that part of these appropriations
should come through the Agricultural and
Mechanical college while others should
come to the disposal of the governing
board of the experiment stations.

"These estimates are made after con-
sidering our past years' experiences and
needs together with Investigations which
are most urgently needed at the present
tifne In Texas" he continued.
TMs request for such a large increase
Iq appropriations la perhaps a forerurmer
of" the fight that may be made In tlie
neat leghilntare to have ths department
of agriculture remove! from the State
capltol tiere to the Agricultural and Me-
chanical college.

Nlt-schke has filed an estimate asking for

PATRICIDE CHARGE
AGAINST STUDENT
Eight Grand Juries Failed to Act
and R. A. Hills Was Not Indict-
ed Until the Ninth.
(Houston Post Sftcial.)
ATST1N". Texas September C Charged
by an indictment returned by the Young
county grand Jury with killing his fath-
er. It. A. Mills a young man who la a
student nf the I'nlviTnlty of Texas Is in
the county1 jail and will return to Young
county tomorrow morning when Sheriff
Hrown is expected to come to get him.
The Killing is alleged to have been com-
mitted four years and four months ago.
.Mills came to the university first In 1H02
and continued through the 1W)4 term re-
turning to his home In the spring of
l!05. lie eime hack to Austin this sum-
mer and lias been in the summer Hchool.
Heei ntly he bought a house at 310 Klght-
rt'Mth sm- t vt-here he and his young wife
have res Id d and had expected to reside
during the coming session of the univer-
sity. Mill' Story of Tragedy.
Mr. Mills is taking an academic course.
When seen in the county jail yesterday
afternoon he expressed surprise at his
arrest and said he has no doubt as to
hU ability to convince a jury that he Is
without hlame. .
Sneaking of the cse p said:
"My father and 1 were asleep in a lit-
tle room of a house on the ranch and
some time during the small r-jurs of the
morning I heard a blow struck and knew
that my father had been hit. A second
later 1 was struck between the eyes and
as I arose 1 was struck again on the
knee."
Mr. Mills exhibited an ugly scar on his
forehead and a torn noptrll.
"I ran and Jumped out of a window. 1
knew that a man had crossed the room
and left the house. I was very painfully
hurt. My father lingered for several days
and then died. The community was very
much excited and as a result of the in-
vestigation 1 was under suspicion. On
the examining trial I was heki without
bond but the district Judge promptly ad-
mitted nie to biil and the following grand
Jury did not Indict me. Since then eight
grand juries have met without any in-
dictment being returned and during all
of that time I lived right there in the
county.
Witness Declared Insane.
"The State at first based Its case on
the testimony of a man who worked on
the ranch. He said he had heard me say
that I was going to kill my father. How-
ever he tola many conflicting stories and
finally seemed unable to have any clear
recollection of his previous testimony at
all.
"In the fall of 190S he was tried and
declared insane and sent to the asylum
at Terrell. i suppose he is still there
although I did hear indirectly very' re-
ci ntly that he has been liberated."
As soon as t lie indictment was re-
turned in Young county Mr. Mills re-
ceived a telegram from his attorney K.
S. Arnold of Graham which Is the coun-
ty seat Me had packed his grip and
made all arrangements to return when he
was arrested. His wife visited him twice
in the county jail today.
The elder Mills whose initials were C.
C was the possessor of a ranch of about
1447 acres and considered moderately
wealthy. The family Is old and respect-
ed and the previous examining trial de-
veloped the fact that Mr. Mills is a young
man of model reputation. Me said yes-
terday that the trouble growing out of
the tragic death of his father is the only
trouble that has ever brought him into a
court room.
He has three slstera Mrs. J. B. Van
Nov of McLean. Texas; Mrs. Charles
Hester and Iula Mills of Throckmorton.
Miss Mills resides with her mother in
Throckmorton.

VOTERS ARE IN
TWO CLASSES
Those For and Against Pro-
gressive Party.
Colonel Roosevelt Criticized Gov-
ernor Wilsin for Stand Takenon
Commission to Be (filiate
Corporations.
(Associated Press Retort.)
JAMESTOWN N. D. September .
The voters of the country were divided
Into two classes by Colonel RooseveIt In
his speeches today those with and thoee
against the projgresslve party.
Colonel Roosevelt criticised Woodrow
Wilson for his stand In regard to the
progressive proposal for an interstate In-
dustrial commission to regulate large
corporations. . He was whirled across
North Dakota by special train made half
a dozen speeches and tonight was on his
way to Montana.
In Fargo the progressive State conven-
tion was in session and the delegates went
to a park to hear him. Later he 'made an
address in the convention hall.
In his address at the park he likened
conditions to those of 1864 when a third
ticket against Lincoln was proposed. Then
he said:
"If a man Is not with us he Is against
us and if he ) against us he Is siding
wth the reactionaries. No matter how
well meaning he may be. no matter how
eincerety he may think he Is a progress-
ive he is the ally of Wall street the ally
of privilege the ally of bosslsm In pol-
itics unless he heartily and in good faith
supports the progressive party.
"This Is not a question of personalities.
The principles of the progressives have
been embodied In their platform. The
only way to support these principles and
the platform Is to support the men who
are the nominees of the progressive par-
ty. 1
"I don't believe that the American peo-
ple will and they ought not to put Into
power a party which enunciates princi-
ples which must be Immediately repu-
diated by the party's candidate when h
goes before the people" said Colonel
Roosevelt here today In speaking of th
democratic party and Woodrow Wilson.
The colonel attacked the political lead-
ers who have espoused "progressive"
principles but have retained tnelr old
political connections Instead of Joining
the progressive party.
Saying that Governor Wilson had stated
that the democratic platform was not
a program Colfinel Roosevelt continued:
"We can getalong with a man If he
will tell what he means to do. The man
or the party we can't get along with Is
that one -which says what his or Ita
firinrlples are and then says what he or
t really doesn't mean."
"If tl democratic party's plank on
the tariff says what the party doesn't
mean." Raid Mr. Roosevelt "then we
can t trust any promise It makes on any
subject. It If does mean what It says
on the tariff we will have the tariff
abolished not only with Canada but with
every other country. You are opposed
to Canadian reciprocity In this State and
on this point alone you should be with
the progressives."
CAN'T GET ON THE TICKET.

POSTMASTERS ARE

Delegates to Convention Heard

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J. September .
"Postmasters of the country' know tha
sentiment of their respective communities
and should cater to them" declared
Charles P. Qranfleld first assistant post-
master general at the annual -convention
of first class postmasters today
when asked for an interpretation of the
Sunday clostng law.
"The legislation simply legalizes what
the department put Into effect gradually
during the past year. Postmasters should
use their own discretion In Interpreting
It. The law was not enaoted to Impose
hardships on patrons but to give tha
postal employes a day of rest wherever
possible.
"Parcels post which goes Into effect on
January 1 will be operated at but small
profit" said Mr. Qranfleld. "became ot
the high rate that the law provides for
transportation for three sones. From
fifty miles and above tha axpresa com-
panies can successfully complete with
the postal service and make a good prof-
It. To do this however they must re-
duce their present rata."

TAFT IN FAVOR OF
DEEP WATERWAYS
The President Addressed Delegates
to Atlantic Deep Waterways Con-
vention at New London Conn.
(Associated Press Report.)
NEW LONDON Conn.. September 3.
F om within the grass grown ramparts
of old Fart Qrlswold. on Croton Heights.
President Taft this afternoon told the
delegates to the Atlantic deeper water-
ways convention that no Individual should
allow his own selfish Interests or his
personal ambition to lead him to climb
Into power over some one else. The
president had been telling the story of
the defense of Fort Qrlswold 131 years
ago and of the surrender of those farm-
ers who had defended the walls against
the BrltlBh under Benedict Arnold of
whom he spoke.
Turning from the lessons of history
the president took up the matter of
deeper waterways a movement which he
favored especially the proposed system
of Inner canals along the seaboard. He
said that the Ohio river project will be
worth all the money It costs. Of the
Panama canal he said he saw nothing
which suggested delaying sending our
battleships through It. lie said:
Tha Canal Bill.
"I signed the Panama canal bill as
you know. If you were to read some of
the strictures on that act of mine you
would think that the executive and con-
gress went around looking for a chance
to violate a treaty and then violated a
treaty Just for the fun of It."
President Taft arrived here at noon.
He came ashore with Mrs. Taft and sev-
eral members of his party who had come
over from New York on the Mayflower.
The president with his ankle bound up
used a cane In walking from the boat
landing to the automobile.
