BROKEN NECK IS FATAL
TO ARMY. FOOTBALL STAR
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 26.—
Cadet Richard B. Sheridan, 21-year-
old Army football star and honor stu-
dent at the U. S. Military academy at
West Point, died late today of a brok-
en neck suffered in Saturday’s football
game between Army and Yale.
His death occurred at 5:05 p. m.,
less than three hours after his mother,
Mrs. R. B. Sheridan, and his brother
Gerald, had completed a 1,000-mile
trip from Greenville, S. C., to be at
his side.
Sheridan died unaware of their pres-
ence. He had been unconscious since
he suffered his injury after tackling
Robert Lassiter Jr., in the Yale bowl.
Physicians had resorted to every
means known to save his life.
Military services will be held at
the academy.

JUDGES GIVE RULING
ON NEW TRUCK LAW
HOUSTON, Oct. 26.—The Texas
statute placing private contract car-
riers under supervision of the state
railroad commission was upheld in a
decision handed down today from a
three judge federal court..
Speaking through circuit Judge J.
C. Hutcheson, the court held the pow-
er of the state to regulate motor ve-
hicles in the interest of public safety
was “of the widest scope.”
The majority opinion added the
system of regulation at issue would
“operate to bring highway order out
of highway chaos,” would “protect the
roadways and the people on them from
the results of reckless and careless
operation,” and would give the state
“a safe and dependable system of
transportation for the carriage of
freight by highway.”

A municipal turnip patch was plant-
ed on a vacant lot north of the Cen-
tral Fire station by the firemen Mon-
day.
With a team and plow borrowed
from a contractor the lot was broken
up. The firemen with the aid of sev-
eral volunteer farmers planted the

HEMPSTEAD COTTON
TRUCKING DECREASES
HEMPSTEAD, Oct. 27.—Cotton
trucking has decreased about 50 per
cent in the past few days, according
to local garage men. This is prob-
ably due to the railroad commission
ruling barring’ from the highway all
trucks whidh do not haye a permit
to operate.
Two highway patrolmen were here
recently stopping trucks for inspection
of loads and giving summons to those
drivers'without licenses.

MARRIED TEACHER UPHELD
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 26.—Where a
.teacher’s contract with the School
Board does not call for termination
because of marriage, the teacher has
not voided it by taking a husband,
State Superintendent of Schools S.
M. N. Marrs held Monday in an ap-
peal by Mrs. R. M. Salzman against a
ruling of the Weimar School Board.
Th'e board had a rule providing that
marriage terminated the contract but
Mrs. Salzman said she knew noth-
ing of it and was guided by her con-
tract, which did not mention the mat-
ter.

VETERANS OF 36TH URGED TO
UNITE IN COMMON CAUSE
DALLAS, Oct. 26.—Governor W. H.
Murray of Oklahoma told veterans of
the 36th Division last night to turn
aside from the prohibition issue and
to consider economic problems con-
fronting the nation. The Oklahoma
executive was the principal speaker
at the closing program of the two-
day reunion of members of the 36th,
the first since the war.
“When the nation is faced by uni-
versal bankruptcy, let us unite for a
common cause, to preserve our coun-
try,” he told the veterans.
The Governor asserted the cry
should be: “Give us bread and but-
ter, beans and bacon” rather than
“Give us beer.”
“We have a thousand years,” he
said, “in which to discus stemperance,
the proper method for baptism of in-
fants and the infallibility of the pope.”
Murray appealed to the veterans to
“solve the problem of corrupt capital
and wealth which through selfishness
has brought this condition of eco-
nomic misery upon us.
“The Wall Streeters are dictating
the policies of this government to-
day,” he declared, “and for that rea-
son neither political, party should
nominate for president a man who
represents Wall Street. A man rear-
ed among the skyscrapers of New
York can not understand the prob-
lems of the farmers and the people
in the rest of the country. When they
will give 12 months credit to Ger-
many and other nations of Europe
and won’t give a like amount of credit
to farmers of this country, they will
have to answer for it.”
COURT KEEPS CAPONE
' FROM TRIP TO PEN
CHICAGO, Oct. 26.—Alphonse Ca-
pone remained in the Cook county jail
tonight, saved another day from Lea-
venworth prison by an order of the
United States circuit court of appeals.
Three circuit judges heard the gang-
ster’s lawyers plead for his freedom
while he appeals his conviction as an
income tax dodger, heard a federal
prosecutor say he should be put away
immediately for the good of the pub-
lic, and then told the United States
marshal to wait at least another day
before starting for the federal peni-
tentiary with Capone.
The judges said they would an-
nounce their decision on a writ of
supersedeas and an appeal bond at
2 p. m. tomorrow.
So for the second time Capone’s
train reservations were cancelled.

SAYS INCENDIARY
BURNS TABERNACLE
JONESBORO, Ark., Oct. 26.—-The
Rev. Joe Jeffers, Baptist evangelist,
charged enemies of his revival with
the burning early Monday of his tent
tabernacle in which he started services
that led to National Guardsmen being
called out to prevent bloodshed in a
I bitter church controversy a few weeks
‘ ago.
Incendiarism also was suspected by
officers, who began an investigation.
To a handful of shivering follow-
ers gathered about the ruins of the
tabernacle after the fire, Jeffers an-
nounced his revival would not be in-
terrupted. He said an open-air meet-
ing would be held on the site and ar-
rangements would be made as soon
as possible for an indoor meeting
place.
Miss Ruby Flanagan can now be
found at “Laura’s Beauty Shop,” and
would be pleased to have her old cus-
tomers and new ones call. (d203-w)
STATE LEGAL EXAMINERS
BEGIN APPLICANT TESTS
AUSTIN, Oct. 26.—The state board
of legal examiners today entered up-
on its quarterly task of submitting
tests to men and women who seek
licenses to practice law.
There were about 85 applicants who
never before had taken the examina-
tion and about 100 who had hereto-
fore failed to meet requirements for
a license. Of those taking the exam-
ination seven were women. Two ne-
groes sought licenses.
Members of the board estimated
that only approximately 30 per cent
of those who tried to make the grades
succeeded in doing so.

LAST SURVIVOR INDIAN
FIGHT IN TEXAS DIES
TWO GARAGES BURN
BURNET, Tex., Oct. 26.—A fire of
unknown origin completely destroyed
the garages of W. F. Laforge and
Waddell Northington Saturday after-
noon. The garages were close to-
gether and were in flames when dis-
covered. The Falcon-Knight sedan
belonging to Laforge was badly dam-
aged. The top and upholstering was
completely burned from the car, which
was practically new. There was no
insurance.

PICK-UP AND DELIVERY
RULING GIVEN BOARD
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 26.—Replying
to inquiries by the Railroad Commis-
sion, the Attorney General through
Assistant Elbert Hooper said the
commission does not have power in
the first instance to compel railroads
to inaugurate pick-up and delivery
service, either local or interline, but
the service once voluntarily estab-
lished the commission can regulate it
and can compel an interchange of
such shipments between a railroad not
using it and a transport company.
The Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe has
never used the pick-up and delivery
service and refused to accept a joint
shipment tendered by the Texas &
Pacific Motor Transport company,
though indicating it would accept
from the railroad itself. The opinion
held that a transport company is like
an express company and that the law
requires railroads'to interchange traf-
fic with other common carriers.

BEEVILLE, Tex., Oct. 26.—The
survivor of *fhe last Indian fight in
Texas is dead.
Andrew Mitchell Tullis, 84, a resi-
dent of this city, passed away early
Sunday morning, after an illness
which had extended over a period of
several months, during which time he
was at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Ada Hardeman where members
of the family ministered to him.
The deceased ,in company with his
brother-in-law, Timothy Cude, both
young ranchmen of western Live Oak
County, rode out one Sunday morning
back in 1872 to kill some wild hogs,
thinking to change the diet from beef
to pork. The hogs would graze in
the open at night and the ranchmen
had learned that they could ride out
and meet them returning to the thick-
et for cover, getting their kill without
difficulty in that manner. A large
herd of horses attracted their atten-
tion, however, and they rode out to in-
vestigate, as horse stealing had been
common. To their surprise they were
attacked by a band of Indians and
barely made it back to the protecting
coyer of the brush, where the Indians
were too cautious to follow.
Hurrying to Oakville they gave the
alarm and a band of ranchmen was
organized to follow the Indians. It
was on the following morning that
the historic battle took place—historic
because it was the last Indian fight
in Texas. Only one Indian escaped
and he was wounded. What was be-
lieved to be his remains were after-
wards found.
Tullis centinued to make his home
in Live Oak County until a few years
ago, when he came here to reside with
his daughter. He is survived by his
widow and 11 children, four sons and
seven daughters, and numerous grand-
children.
