ordered him to. hand over the money.
Five hundred $1 bills represented the
only cash available at the time, he
said.
The man left in an automobile, close-

Commission he went to Washington,
took the matter up with the authori-
ties, assured them there would be no
about 6 a. m. It dropped the first: repetition of American Road Corn-
missile at an abandoned mine near J pany contracts, and got the aid re-
stored. It is believed to be a certainty
that if Jim Ferguson is restored to
power this aid will again be with-
drawn. This aid now amounts to $7,-
000,000 annually. It might be well to
consider this phase of the question.
When Ross Sterling, as chairman of
the Highway Commission, took over
this important function of our State
Government he found a debt of $6,-
0001,000 against that department,
brought over from Ma Ferguson’s ad-
ministration, and to make it worse, all
Federal aid had been withdrawn. Since
that time Federal aid has been re-
stored, all debts paid and $119,000,000
spent on the highways of Texas, and
not even Jim Ferguson charges that
there has been an intimation of graft.
It’s well to think about this when you

exploded with a detonation heard for
miles, and sent clouds of dust and
gravel into the air. The plane was
flying at an altitude of 2,000 feet.
Drops More Bombs.
The plane then dived toward the
city and dropped two more bombs
near the outskirts. They had the same
effect as the first one. After circling
the town, the plane dived at the en-
trance of the Ruckman mine and drop-
ped another bomb, which failed to ex-
- plode. A guard fired two shots at the
plane, winch was then at an altitude
of 600 feet, but with no visible ef-
fect.
The plane started climbing at the
edge of the city, and five more bombs
wei’e dropped, only two of which ex-
ploded. They fell near the mines of
the Meador, Young & Holt Coal Com-
pany and the Diamond Coal Mining
Company. The plane then flew off in
the direction of Harrisburg.

SCHOOL FUND REMAINS $17.50
AUSTIN, Aug. 11.—In spite
adding 120,000 names to the scholas-
tic rolls the apportionment of the
State available school fund for the
next session will be $17.50 for each
child, the same as it was last session
and the maximum amount allowed
under the statutes. This was done
here Monday by the State Board of
Education which also made, some re-

Could Not Wipe Out the Disgrace.
Charleston (S. C.) News and Cour-
ier: Jim Ferguson, Governor of Texas,
was impeached, therefore disgraced.
The election of his wife to be Gover-
nor no more would wipe away his dis-
grace than would a majority vote
“vindicate” Benedict Arnold or a
Chicago gunman. It might mean that
the majority of the Texans count
of! themselves no better than the great
majority of Americans count Jim Fer-
guson. In that case the great increase
in the population of Texas as shown
by the recent census is a serious mat-
ter for the rest of the country.

EARLY EXECUTION
STINNETT, Aug. 7.—Frequent re-
quests that he be allowed to waive
trial and be executed at once were
made by A. D. Payne as he was mak-
ing his confession here tonight,
Payne claimed his confession, Haas
said, that his relations with Mrs.
Verona Thompson, his fox-mer secre-
tary, were not responsible for the
crime, but that it was clue to his fin-
ancial troubles and the fear that Mrs.
Payne would learn of his relations
with Mrs. Thompson.
He said his “greatest sorrow” was
that the boy escaped death from the
explosion, rather than being left
alive and crippled.
