AGAIN
Banker Sneed to Plead That
He Shot to Save Wife From
New Escapade.
AMARILLO, TEXAS. Sept. 16.—That
he killed Al G. Boyce to prevent him
from taking his wife from him again
will be the defense of John Beal Sneed,
the rich Amarillo banker, in his trial
for the murder.
Sneed will claim that he and his wife
hail become reconciled about two
months ago and had planned to re
move to Mississippi and start life
anew when he came upon evidence of a
plan of his wife and Boyce to elope
again. This plan, he will claim, he
. found in a letter from Boyce to his
wife telling that he had left Canada
and come to Amarillo and outlining a
plan for her to leave her husband and
flee with him a second time.
Young Boyce had been offered the
management of an immense cattle
ranch in Argentine Republic.
The Potter county grand jury in spe
cial session took up the killing today.
An indictment is expected during the
day and attorneys for Sneed are ex
pected tomorrow to Institute habeas
corpus proceedings to secure the release
of Ht>ilr'client frofn jail.
A feature of the inquiry before the
g-and jury was whether Sneed bad an
accomplice in the killing. It has been
•iabllshed that two men, one answer
ing the description of Sneed, rented a
"tt igo next door to the Methodist
hurch, in front of which the tragedy
i iitved. The second man has disap
peared Mrs. Sneed has also left her
home.
No Armed Outbreak
Between Families.
Development- today indicated that
the law would be allowed to take its
nurse and that there would be no
•o-neri conflict between members and
f iends of the Boyce and Sneed fami
lies.
Although the Boyces and Sneed
ent about armed today, there was no
open outbreak. The Sneeds are wait
ing for the Boyces to make the next
move, according to the "code" in feud
warfare, and the Boyces are deterred
because of the critical illness of Mrs. A.
G Boyce, superinduced by the shock of
th» killing of her son.
Mrs Boyce was one of the first to
reach her son Saturday. As he lay in
the street his mother rushed to him
and. kneeling beside him, took his head
in her lap and wiped the blood from
his face.
How much more of this must I
stand?" she exclaimed.
Later she went to her home, where
-he collapsed. It is feared" she may not
-urvive the shock.
H ill Boyce, brother of Al, was al
tr' -t in time to avenge the killing Sat
'irday. it was learned today. With a

to the scene, reaching there only a

Nogi, In Will, Tells
Why He Ended Life;
Left House to Wife
TOKIO, Sept. 16—The will of Gen
eral Maresuko Nogi who, with his wife
committed suicide Friday so as to be
a servant to the dead mikado in the
next world, was published today.
The document suggests that the
body of the war hero be given to a
medical college, requesting that only
his teeth, hair and nails be placed in
a grave.
The instrument was drawn up on
the night of September 12, just 24
hours before the warrior slashed his
throat, showing that his act had been
meditated at that time. Nogi, in his
will, says that he follows the emperor
because his services are no longer re
quired in this world. He has often
sought to die, he said, and choose as
the occasion for the departure from
this world the moment that the body
of the dead ruler left the nation's cap
ital forever.
One strange feature of the document
is that it wills to Nogi's ivife the
house in which they lived and much
of his personal property. This fact
is taken to mean that the determina
tion of the countess to end her life at
the same time as her husband was not
formulated beforehand.

Jury.
The jury found a true bill against
Curtis on Saturday. He will be placed

plea of self-defense and maintain In
court that Helton had a pistol in his
hand when he entered the office of Dr.
Applewhite, where the shooting oc

BROWN S«S
HOM HE JO
HOUJSJOB
Illi JOIE
Governor Will Refuse to Issue
Commission Until After the
Legislature Meets.
Governor Joseph M. Brown author
ized the announcement today that he
would hold that Commissioner of Agri
culture Connor, holding office under
appointment to the unexpired term of
Commissioner Thomas G. Hudson, can
not be displaced before the legislature
meets next June, canvasses the gen
eral election returns and formally de
clares the person duly chosen by the
people to succeed to the office.
The governor bases his opinion upon
section 94 of the code, which prescribes
the manner in which the governor,
treasurer, comptrolle.r general, attorney
general and commissioner of agricul
ture shall be elected, and which spe
cifically recites that the stipulations
laid down shall apply to all.
The legislature Is required to can
vass the returns in the governor’s case
and declare the result before the elec
tion Is complete, and no person may
qualify for governor whose election has
not been so declared.
No Commission Before
Legislature Meets,
The governor, therefore, will hold
that he has no authority to commis
sion any one whose election has not
been accomplished in the manner laid
down; and it would be impossible that
any person other than Connor, under
that ruling, could qualify before next
June, save in the remote contingency of
a special session of the legislature be
ing called in the meantime.
The governor authorizes the state
ment that he will commission no one
before the legislature meets, no mat
ter what the state executive committee
may do in the matter of filling an im
aginary vacancy to occur in October or
November, and regardless of what may
happen in the regular October election,
in the matter of electing a commission
er of agriculture to begin his term of
service in advance of the assembling of
the legislature next June.
Unquestionably, the governor's an
nounced attitude will go far toward
clearing up a situation that has been
very much obscured in the public mind
of late.
Connor To Hold
On to His Office.
James D. Price was nominated by
the Macon convention to a full and
regular term in the office of commis
sioner of agriculture. That term will
begin about July 1, after the legisla
ture has formally declared Price's elec,
tion.
A question arose in the minds of
some lawyers, however, as to whether
there would not, as a matter of fact, be
an existing vacancy in the commission
ership immediately following the Octo
ber election, and if it would not be pos
sible for some one. other than a Demo,
crat, to have his name placed on the
regular state ticket in October, and, in
the event of his receiving a number of
votes, legally demand the office under
the law.
Because of the difference of opinion
among lawyers as,to when the unex
' pired term of Hudson —the present term
of Connor —expires. Chairman William
J. Harris decided to have James D.
Price’s name placed on the ticket in
the October election as the Democratic
nominee, merely as a precautionary
measure, and in order to have a Demo
crat ready to qualify for the office in
the event a vacancy were held to ex
ist.
Governor Brown's declaration that
he will not commission Price, or any
body else, before the legislature has met
and declared a result, definitely closes
the matter.
Connor will not be displaced before
the June meeting of the legislature, aft
er which Price will be commissioned.
The governor states |hat the law is
very clear In his mind, and tnat he
would be compelled to refuse a com
mission to any person, as commission
er of agriculture, unless that person
came to him certified by the legisla
ture.
Only In the event of resignation, re
moval or death would the governor be
authorized to name a successor to Con.
nor before next June, unless the legis
lature In extraordinary session in the
meantime should declare another elect
ed to the office. Ail of these contin
gencies .ire so remote, of course, that
they need not be taken into considera
tion,

Chas- Pendleton Out
of Phillippine Prison
After a Long Battle
Atlantan. Former Lieutenant, B.e
leased—Many Southerners in
Move To Aid Him.
William C. Massey announced for Mr.
and Mrs. William M. Pendleton late
this afternoon that Charles M. Pendle
ton, formerly a lieutenant in the Philip
pine constabulary and convicted by a
native court of murdering a Filipino,
has been freed from prison and is at
work in Shanghai, China.
Hundreds of Southerners joined in
the effort to have the young Atlantan
pardoned in 1911 by the governor gen
eral of the islands.
He was released on July 10, but it
was found necessary, under peculiar
conditions, to keep the matter a secret
until he was safely out of the islands.
It is announced that he will probably
join his parents In Atlanta about
Christmas.
Pendleton's conviction was regarded
by many as a put-up job. Mr. Massey,
as a member of the Atlanta Grays, took
a leading part in the effort to free the
American.
Smoke Board Forced
To Rescind Its Action;
War On Smoke Evil
Forced to back down by widespread
criticism of tts attempt to modify
council’s smoke regulations. Chairman
R. M. Harwell, of the smoke commis
sion, has called a meeting of the rules
committee of the commission to rescind
its action.
The committee at the same time will
frame a new set of regulations for the
guidance of the commission itseif,
which will be submitted to the board
The board's action In modifying the
already light regulations of council
governing the emission of smoke of
varying density was denounced as a
usurpation of authority by many cour,
oilmen and by City Attorney Mayson
Abolition of the smoke board which
was declared to be standing in the wav
of reform, was seriously urged
Councilman Charles w Smith, fath
er of the smoke ordinance, said today
that while he had not decided whether
he would introduce an ordinance to
abolish the smoke commission at the
meeting of council this afternoon he
would begin his fight to see that the
original smoke ordinance is enforced
Councilman Claude C. Mason, in an
interview today. Joined Councilman
Smith in his plan to abolish the smoke
commission if the commission does not
see fit to enforce the smoke ordinance.
"The original smoke ordinance did
not contemplate a smoke board,” he
said. "The board was added as a com.
promise, and it was given exceptionally
wide authority. It seems to me to have
proved a failure."
WOMAN LAWYER HAS
NEW SCHEME TO GET
PERMIT IN GEORGIA
Mrs. Virginia Mclntire Weaver, who
has for the last year fought in vain for
the right to practice law in Georgia,
has hit upon a unique scheme to carry
her point, declare her friends.
She has gone back to West Virginia,
her former home, and is preparing to
stand her examinations and be admit
ted to the bar there. West Virginia
admits women lawyers. Once admit
ted to the bar in West Virginia, Mrs.
Weaver believes that when she returns
to Georgia she will have to be granted
the same privileges here as would any
other lawyer from another state who
produces the proper credentials saying
he had been admitted to practice in
his native state.
Mrs. Weaver is a graduate of the At.
lanta Law school and when she found
that Georgia laws barred any woman
from playing the part of Portia, she
tried to have the legislature change the
law, but failed.
She is now in Morgantown. W. Va,
and as soon as possible intends to re
turn to Georgia and take up the prac
tice of law, if she be allowed to do so.

SHIP OWNERS UNABLE TO
HANDLE ORIENT’S TRADE
TACOMA. WASH, Sept. 16.—Orien
tal trade with Puget Sound is breaking
all previous records. Visions of the
trans-Pacific traffic pictured fifteen or
twenty years ago by Judge Peter Gross
cup, of Chicago: James J. Hill and oth
ers have come true. The tonnage for
the Orient now offering is greater than
the steamship lines can provide space
for. The Blue Funnel (Solt) line from
Tacoma, the largest fleet that comes to
Puget Sound, announces that every inch
of available space by Its steamers has
been engaged up to February, Three
big liners building in Belfast can not be
added until next year. The steamship
Titan, now on the Pacific, brings a silk
cargo valued at 81,500,000. beating th<
record value cargo brought two weeks
ago by the Teucer. her sister ship.
Two Japanese lines out of Puget
Sound and two other British lines can
not take all business which is offered.
Additional bottoms are unobtainable.
The Japanese line connecting with the
Milwaukee railway will add larger
steamships to its present fleet of six as
fast as they can be built in Japan.
Wheat and flour are still going to the
Orient in great quantities.
