TRIAL OF THREE NEGROES FOR
MURDER BEGINS AT WACO
Waco, Texas, Jan. 16.—Judge Mun-
roe announced today that he expected
to proceed with the trial of the three
negroes charged with the murder of S.
L. Connart’y, a Katy switchman. Guard-
ed by Deputy Sheriff Burton and five
rangers, the negroes arrived, here last
night from Dallas, where they have
been in Jail since early in December,
having been spirited away to escape
mob violence. The rangers are quar-
tered at the jail. No excitement is ap-
parent.
Washington, Jan. 16.—Assorting that
more than 3,500 mentally disabled for-
mer service men now in state institu-
tions were the victims of such
‘‘gross neglect, indifference and
profiteering” as constituted a very
“black reproach on the honor of
the nation,” the Disabled Vet-
erans of the World War, in a memo-
rial presented today to President Har-
ding, urged immediate action by the
government looking to the treatment
of ail such cases in federal institutions.
Neglect of cases in state instiutions,
the memorial said, was committing to
permanent insanity many of victims
who, by timely treatment, probably
could be cured. Conditions of “con-
tract” cases of this class in state in-
stitutions of Ohio were described as
typical of those of practically every
state.
SCHOOL SYSTEM IN
CRITICAL CONDITION
TEACHER8 ’ HAVE NOT BEEN
PAID FOR SEVERAL MONTHS

Austin, Texas, Jan. 14.—Public
schools of Texas are in probably
the most critical condition of theii
history, due to the lack of funds
with which to pay the per capita
apportionment, according to Miss
Annie Webb Blanton, state superin-
tendent of public instruction. v
Letters from teachers, dueling
they have not drawn their salaries
for several months storm into the
state department of education. The
school trustees write that they are
unable to borrow funds from the
banks in their communities.
Lon Smith, state comptroller, de-
clares that the situation will be clear
after January, when the tax money
begins flowing into the state treas
ury.
The lack of funds with which tc
pay the per capita apportionment is
partly due to the act passed by the
last legislature in January, 1921
extending the time for enforcing the
penalty against delinquent tax payers
of 1920 to October 15, 1921, sdid Miss
Blanton. The reason for the exten-
sion, financial officials of the state
said, was to aid the tax payers dur-
ing the stringent financial period.
Under the original act, suits could
not be filed against delinquent tax
payers until after October 15, instead
of January 31; the penalty was ren-
duced from 10 per cent to 5 per
cent and remittance of penalties was
to be allowed. The attorney general
however, declard the latter two pro-
visions unconstitutional and they
were thrown out. His ruling was
that the penalty became a part of
the tax after It was due.
Because a great deal of the 1920
tax money has not been paid into
the state treasury, Miss Blanton said
only 50 cents of the |13 per capita
apportionment has been paid foi
this year. Payment of last year’s
apportionment was only completed in
November, 1921.
The per capita fund is apportioned
among ail the schools entitled to it
said Miss Blanton. Thus, whe”

Secretary Denby is proud of his navy
and said today that it was the best
navy in the world, backing his state-
ment by figures recently compiled by
the Bureau of Navigation which show
that on July 1, native born sailors rep-
resent 91.82 per cent; naturalized men
2.99 per cent; colonial natives, 4.89 per
cent and the balance aliens. The last
named number onlyl 362 men. At the
end of the fiscal year, the navy com-
prised 119,205 men, of which number
109,457 were natives, 5,829 were born
in Guam, Samoa, the Philippines or
Virgin Islands, and 3,567 werq natur-
alized citizens.
The figures also show it is a hand
picked navy for out of 135993 appli-
cants only 72,386 were accepted.
It is a healthy navy afloat and on
shore, according to the statement of
the surgeon general.
It’s a well behaved navy, too, only
6.8 per cent of the total number of dis-
charges were dishonorable, and but
6.08 per cent of the total men in the
service during the year deserted. Good
conduct medals in the servic etotal
over six thousand some men having
eight to their credilt, also testify to
the character of the enlisted men.
The distribution of men by states
gives New York the lead in both na-
tivity and residence; 13,452 in the for-
mer and 14,170 in the latter. Pennsyl-
vania comes second in each list, with
9,951 and 9,299 respectively. The na-
tives sons’ list gives third place to
Massachusetts, fourth to Illinois and
fifth to Texas.
Out of the total, 119,205 sailors, there
are 110,024 white; 5,545 Phtllpplnos;
2.385 negroes, 196 Chinese, 88 Japan-
ese, 139 Samoans, 249 Camooros 296
Hawalians, 197 Porto Ricans and 86
American Indians.
The American navy also Is a young
navy, 45,555 being under 21; two-thirds
of them are 24 years and under, and
only 904 are above 45, although 53 are
ever 60 and still active.
Eight pgr cent of the enlisted men
are married, a total of 9,836 men. Over
halt the men have had previous sea
service, and 449 of them have served
over twenty years.
department of educa
tion apportions it on the basis of 5C
cents per capita, or $1, or more, de-
pending upon the amount available
among all the schools entitled tc
receive the apportionment.
School trustees have found it dif-
ficult to borrow money to pay the
teacherg until the apportionment Is
received, said Miss Blanton. In
some communities, she said, the
banks have experienced duch a
financial condition that they would
not make loans to the school trustees
in view of the situation.
To correct this situation, Miss
Blanton said, she recommended a
special session of the legislature. It
was only for such a critical condi-
t'on. she Said, that she would urge
an extra legislative session, but she
thought the school needs justified It
A more optimistic view, however,
was expressed by Comptroller Smith
Payment of the taxes will begin
after January 31, Mr. Smith said
The state will receive taxes for two
vears, in most instances—1920 and
1921—although a large number of
tax payers have paid their 1920 taxes
With the 1920 taxes will be paid the
10 per cent penalty which now has
become a part of the taxes.
“We have begun receiving com-
munications from county attorney'
about the filing of suits against de
linquent tax payers.” said Mr
Smith. “After January 31 the tax
money will begin coming in and the
state treasury then will have plenty
of funds.
'After two weeks, the state prob-
ably will have enough money to pay
on the school funds. If the teach
era will only be patient until then
there will be Plenty of money tc
cash their vouchers.”
