IMPEACHMENT OF jsCRIVENOR ALLOWED
PRICE DEFEATED TO CONSULT LAWYER
AUSTIN, Oct. 13.—The Texas sen-
ate early tonight voted not to sustain
articles of impeachment against Dis-
trict Judge J. B. Price of Bastrop.
A majority vote was cast against
each of the six articles preferred by
the house of representatives. It would
have required a two-thirds majority
of those present and voting to have
sustained the charges.
The articles alleged that Judge
Price had been grossly negligent of
his official duties in approving claims
for fees of the office submitted by
three sheriffs in his district. The
sheriffs were Woody Townsend of
Bastrop county, John J. Burtschell of
Lee county, and Clint D. Lewis of
Burleson county.

The Victory Wesley class of the
Methodist church met Monday after-
noon at the home of Mrs. Rucker Nor-
thington, with Mrs. Harry Easters as
joint hostess. The meeting was open-
ed with a prayer by Mrs. Lane. 17
answered to roll call, 48 visits to
the sick were reported. The follow-
ing officers were elected for the new
year: President, Mrs. J. F. Gilbert;

worth; secretary, Mrs. Wayne Cas-
beer; treasurer, Mrs. Elbert Clements’
reporter, Mrs. H. J. Abney; teacher,
Mrs. Walter Martin; assistant teach-
er, Mrs. W. F. Mace.

consisting of peach salad, chicken

ember 9.—Reporter.
HOUSTON, Oct. 14.—W. S. “Shilo”
Scrivenor, ex-convict under two mur-
der indictments in connection with the
slaying of C. A. “Keggy” Jones, and
his wife, was permitted to consult
with an attorney today after Criminal
District Judge Whit Boyd halted ef-
forts of officers to hold him incom-
municado.
Scrivenor, brought back from Des
Moines, Iowa, early today, was spirit-
ed away from the county, jail this
morning while L. M. Kenyon, Galves-
ton attorney, awaited arrival of Sher-
iff Binford to obtain permission to
talk to the prisoner.
Kenyon, who said that he had been
retained by Scrivenor’s wife, waited
until nearly noon and then appealed
to Judge Boyd for aid.

LAMPASAS FOR EVERYBODY
AND EVERYBODY FOR LAMPASAS
We are stronger for Lampasas
every day. As the ginning season is
coming to a close we wish to express
our thanks to our customers for their
patience and loyal support this fall.
You have done your part and we 'do
hot believe Texas affords a better set
of men than those who have brought
cotton to Lampasas this fall—not a
dissatisfied customer. How many gin
men can say that? Why shouldn’t
we be proud of these men ? They are
something to be proud of, and wft
promise to give you better service
next year by running both sides of
the gin and at a lower cost for gin-
ning.—GILLEN & FLIPPEN Grocery,
Mai'ket and Gin. The home of satis-
fied customers. (w)
AUSTIN, Oct. 14.—Complaint that
trucks carrying heavy loads of cot-
ton were greatly damaging county-
maintained highways Tuesday moved
Warren S. Freund. Travis county
commissioner, to request on opinion
if a county commissioners court had
the power to prohibit use of such
highways to trucks of haulers from
other sections of the state.
Freund appealed to Bryan Blalock,
county attorney, to place the matter
before the attorney general for a
ruling.
Freund said commercial trucks from
other sections were leaving the state
highway in order to make a near cut"
across Travis county, using graveled
strictly county roads. The roads were
greatly damaged by the heavy loads,
keeping the county’s road and bridge
fund depleted to make repairs, he
stated.
14 TONS OF METAL PICKED
. OFF SOUTH PLAINS ROADS
LUBBOCK, Oct. 13.—Fourteen tons
of metal, nails, spikes, parts of auto-
mobiles, cans, etc., were picked off the
highways of the South Plains in a
three weeks’ campaign staged recent-
ly by the state highway department,
Joe H. Caldwril, maintenance engin-
eer for this division, said.
“Our records show that the heavy
magnetic nail picker in traversing
593 miles, puicked up 28,567 pounds
of metal,” Caldwell said. “The metal
averaged 48 pounds per mile and it
cost $860.53 to do the work, in a little
less than three weeks.”
The cost was 3 cents a pound or
$1.45 per mile, to remove the nails
from the road.
