HIGH COURT RULING
ON PENSION SOUGHT
BADGERS DEFEAT BUR-
NET BULLDOGS 18-0
Before an estimated attendance of
1100 football fans, the Lampasas
Badgers added another victory to
their score when they defeated the
Burnet Bulldogs 18-0, in a hard-
fought battle for supremacy, under
the lights on the new Lampasas
field, Friday night.
Although this was the first con-
ference game to be played by the
Badgers, it was the fifth game of
the season in which they had not al-
lowed their opponents a single point.
Every minute of play was of intense
interest to the spectators as was
shown by enthusiasm and pep by
both Burnet and Lampasas fans.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—Intention
of the department of justice to seek
a decision by the supreme court on
the railway retirement act, held un-
constitutional by the District of Co-
lumbia supreme court, was announc-
ed Friday by Attorney General Cum-
mings.
Cummings said an appeal directly
to the supreme court probably would
be made.
The act was held unconstitutional
by the District of Columbia court
principally on the grounds it affected
wages of men not in interstate com-
merce and that certain provisions
were retroactive.
In: discussing the case the Attorney
General said, “It is important that
the supreme court pass on this act
as soon as possible not only for the
particular purpose of deciding on the
railway retirement act, but also to
determine the scope to which any such
acts can go.”

HARTFORD, Conn., Oct. 26.—Two
men snatched 9 year old Patricia
Henry from the yard of St. Joseph’s
Parochial School Friday afternoon
and drove off with her in an, automo-
bile bearing New York license plates.
Police of three States were notified.
Teletype and telephone messages
to Connecticut, New York and Massa-
chusetts police asked them to halt a
blue sedan.
The child, who lives with her grand-
mother, was on her way back to
school after the noon recess.
The men drove up to the school
yard at 1:20 p. m. The occurrence
was witnessed by a woman who noti-
fied the police.
Police !were told the autoihobile
sped toward Farmington.
Hartford detectives said they in-
clined to the theory that the incident
was a family affair.
They reported they had informa-
tion that the child’s parents separat-
ed and that Patricia has lived with
her grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth Cor-
bett, since the separation.
Patricia’s father is Wales Henry
of Buffalo, N. Y. Her mother, Mrs.
Lemore Corbett Henry, lives in Al-
bany.
Chas. E. Stokes returned home
Friday from Temple, where he re-
cently underwent an operation for
appendicitis. He is getting along
nicely.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-4 pledge
of full cooperation in the recovery
campaign was made personally to
President Roosevelt today by the of-
ficers of the American bankers asso-
ciation.
Rudolf S. Hecht, new association
president, told the president the bank-
ers were prepared and anxious to
lend money to business.
“We are going through with the
program of cooperation,” Hecht said.
“Of course, the bankers can’t lend if
business does not borrow, but the |
bankers are making it known that
they are willing to do their part.”
He called attention that notices
have been sent to clearing' houses by
Francis M. Law, the retiring presi-
dent, advertising the willingness of
bankers to extend credit.
Hecht was accompanied to the
White House by Law and Robert V.
Fleming, vice president, and Tom K.
Smith of St. Louis, chairman of the
bankers’ study committee which will
draft legislative proposals.
“We told the president that we
were four ball players for the all-
American team he proposed of bank-
ing, business, industry, labor, agri-
culture and capital,” Hecht said. “He
accepted our proffer.”
Hecht said that Jackson Reynolds,
president of the First National Bank
of New York, expressed the opinion
of the “overwhelming majority if not
the unanimous opinion of the bank-
ers” in stating that they were anxious
to cooperate with the government.
The fourth meeting of the year of
the Pierian Club was held Friday af-
ternoon in the home of Mrs. W. R.
Young whose co-hostess was Mrs.
J. D. Jackson.
The president, Mrs. Joseph Allan,
presided over the short business ses-
sion, following which the study of
“The Rise of Silas Lapham” by Dean
Howell was led by Mrs. F. J. Harris.
Mrs. Harris first gave a brief but
general review of the characteristics
of the works of Dean Howell who has
over one hundred and thirty publish-
ed wox*ks. She stressed his verbal
exactness and simple phrasing, after
which she reviewed, in her most pleas-
ing and interesting manner, his novel
“The Rise of Silas Lapham,” giving
the financial rise of Silas Lapham the
contracts'made between the Laphams
and the aristocratic Corey family, the
series of disasters which befell him,
and at last his satisfaction in living
once more the simple life to which
he had been born.
Mrs. Griffin very cleverly gave the
story of the dinner party with which
the Coreys honored the Laphams who
were humorously ignorant of the
ways of the society into which they
were thrown.
Mrs. Matthews gave the romance
of the two Lapham girls, Irene and
Penelope, both of whom loved one
Tom Corey who gave his love to the
latter much to the surprise of the
members of both families concerned.
An interesting paper dealing with
Lapham’s pride and boastfulness was
given by Mrs. Will Florence. His
pride included that for his family,
especially his wife, and that for his
work which was the paint business.
His boatsfulness which was very hu-
morously portrayed at the dinner par-
ty where he partook of too much
wine consisted mainly in his ability
to made money.
After a general discussion led by
Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Tim O’Keefe brief-
ly compared “The Rise of Silas Lap-
ham” with “The Vicar of Wakefield”
stressing the fact that they are both
novels of domestic life and ones in
which the main object is to portray
characters.

es served delicious refreshments to

ber of welcome guests.—Reporter.

GREENWOOD, Fla., Oct. 26.—A
negro seized from an Alabama jail
was in the hands of a mob determin-
ed, reports said, to lynch him near
here while a force of thirty-two sher-
iff's deputies and a dozen extra offi-
cers was ordered! on duty at strategic
points throughout Jackson county.
At Tallahassee, State capital, .a
secretary to Gov. Dave Sholtz quoted
Sheriff W. F. Chambliss _ as having
told him in response to an inquiry
that the sheriff had sworn in a num-
ber of deputies and considered him-
self capable of taking care of any sit-
uation that might arise.
At Marianna earlier in the after-
noon a deputy sheriff said he had
heard nothing of the mob but that
if it was determined to kill the negro
he knew of no way to prevent it. The
negro, Claude Neal, was taken to the
jail at Brewson, Ala., for safekeeping
early in the day. He had admitted,
officers said, to attacking and slay-
ing Miss Lola Cannidy, 22, near here
last week.
Sheriff John P. Harrell at Chipley,
adjoining this county, said he had
been informed by a telephone caller
that the mob would take the negro
to the spot where the attack oc-
curred, time him to a stake and let
the girl’s father kill him. There were
reports the mob planned to carry out
the lynching between 8 and 9 p. m.
The Times-Courier, Marianna news-
paper, said it had been informed the
negro had been taken to the scene of
the crime and would be burned at
the stake and quoted a deputy sheriff
as saying in his opinion the mob
would not be bothered either before
or after the lynching.
At Tallahassee J. P. Newell, exe-
eutive secretary to Gov. Sholtz, said
the governor was out of the capital.
Newell said State troops would be
called out to prevent the lynching if
necessary.
From Jacksonville Gov. Sholtz. was
urged to calk out troops to prevent
the lynching in a telegram, sent him
by Mrs. William B. Cornell, chairman
of the Florida Council of the Asso-
ciation of Southern Women for the
Prevention of Lynching.
Mrs. Gladys Westerman and little
daughter, Rebecca Jane, and Miss
Wilma Sadler of Austin arrived in
Lampasas Friday evening. Rebecca
Jane underwent a tonsillectomy in
the offices of a local physician Sat-
urday morning, and is now getting
along nicely.
T. J. Childers Jr., student of Texsr
University and James Landrum of
Austin, attended the Burnet-Lam-
pasas game here Friday night.
