PARDON USELESS AUSTIN, Oct. 19.—(UP)—Par-don granted by Governor Miriam Ferguson to Raymond Sanders of Hunt county on a liquor charge does not prevent him having to serve a five-year suspended sen-tence on a previous charge, the court of criminal appeals decided today.

TIHS SPEAKER HAS SOT SIGNED AVITH BOSTON TEAM CLEVELAND, Oct. 19.—(UP)—Tris Speaker, member of the AVashington baseball club and former manager of the Cleveland Indians, has not signed to manage the Boston Braves, his wife told the United Press today. THE WEATHER reason” to doubt the correct-ness of his own. “The issue is that a gov-ernment department has gene out df its legitimate domain in promulgating to the world, as its own, a statement for which it has no foundation other than pri-vate sources, the census bureau ex-cepted, and in so doing has injured the growers and holders of cotton. The question is, why? The wrong is accentuated, and there is undoubtedly a wrong, in the bu-reau’s sanction of an undoubted enemy to the cotton interests of the south. AVe are confronted with a government department swallow-ing Manchester statements neck and crop and sanctioning and de-fending them before the world, nay, adopting them as the basis for an official promulgation of the United States/’ SHIP’S ROLL PUTS RUTH TO SLEEP Daring Aviatrix Rests on Voyage After Strenuous Days in the Azores AT SEA (United Press)—Ruth Elder, worn out by the strenuous hospitality of Horta, slept late to-day, apparently little affected by the slight roll of the Lima. Captain Pinto escorted Miss El-der and her co-pilot of the plane “American Girl,” Captairt Halde-man, ashore at the village, on the Island of San Jorg, this afternoon. . EX-W ACOAN A GENx Robert Goodrich, son of Rev. and Mrs. R. E. Goodrich who former-ly lived in AVaco, will be here for the Baylor-Centenary football game, he tells Frank Wilson Jr;, in a letter. Dr. and Mrs. Goodrich, now residents of Shreveport also plan to be here. Robert is a mem-ber of the gentlemen reserve team, and his father was formerly pas-tor of the Austin Avenue Metho-dist church in Waco. HIS HIGHNESS Ermine Wearer for 1927 ROYAL Cotton Palace Found to Have ‘It’ and Whole Lot, Too HELEN POOL AA'rotc Tills Story IHAA’E just interviewed the King! And what a King! „■ From a female of the species, take it that this year's Royal Court of King Cotton will be presided over by the kingiest king ever. But concerning the Royal Tit-for- Tat. Gets the Majestic Ear Gaining the Majestic ear ovef the telephone, a plea with his Highness for a Hobnob, and then— “Why certainly. You just suit your own convenience. I’ll be in the office all day.” That voice over the telephone! We found it suiting our con-venienco to make our bow just as soon as the Plebeian hair could be smoothed down and the Com-moner’s hat donned. His Nibs was attired in the re-gal tan shirt sleeves, sitting in an office chair without so much as a festive wreath draped over the throne, and grinning as mon-archs do very seldom. There was Make Your Plans Now [AKE your plans now to come to the 1927 Texas Cotton Palace exposition. It is truthfully said that never before have such pains been put forth-^to give you enter-tainment and lots of it. Do not come one day—come sev-era! days. You will find pleas-ures abound. GRANTS HOBNOB something about his appearance —oh yes; Iron gray hair, with a face beneath about as lined and careworn as a college grad-uate’s. The Sovereign’s appear-ance couldn’t' be improved, a subject secretly decides. Oh well, it was meant to be secretly. AA’e couldn’t help if it showed. ‘It’ Lots of It “Do you have much ‘It?’ Enough to assure you that you’ll carry off this King business all right?” was the somewhat su-perfluous inquiry directed at the King. “I should say so! Do you know—” His Highness leaned forward confidentially — "I’m just lousy with It. It just posi-tively radiates from me.” “Aha!” we agreed. “And how do you like being King?” The question had to come. AA’e tried to avoid it, but. it sneaked up and leaped out unexpectedly. We knew before the words were spoken what to expect. The King would look bored, yawn a slight trifle behind the Monarchical palm and murmur that he didn’t care much for it, hut supposed it had to be gone through. But lo! “Fine. I’m really enjoying it,” this surprising sovereign remarked. “I helped stage the first coronation back in 1913 when Edward Rotan was king, and I’ve kinda taken a hand in all of them. I had had a lit-tie experience in the show business that made me interested.” Sli! He Was on the Stage We mentally decided that he prob-ably held a show in the upstairs of his barn one time and charged two royal pins for it, from the casual way be mentioned the “show bust-ness.” It was to our surprise later on in the hobnob, to discover that His Kighness Holt has been on the stage in New York. “Heeding the call of art,” Holt termed it, with another unmajestlc grin. He evidently heeded the call of a good many other things when he was quite a callow youth. Rex was a member of Baylor’s first football team in 1907, when the boys rushed out to joust behind noseguards and other funny contraptions. The Royal Ribs shook with glee as he recalled the day that the coach had started the team on a trot out to Day’s lake —now Spring lake—on a hot Sep-tember day. “He was a Yankee, and September was fall to him. regardless of a 90 degree temperature here. I was among those not present—who fell in the fall—when they limped up to the lake. I think I had. fallen by a wayside tree a good many miles back.” the King recalled. He re-called other memories of stories and co-eds at Baylor but in no detail whatsoever. Took the Royal Spill This Palace Pharoah also served In the army. It came to light when he admitted that when It came to mounting a prancing charger and hieing himself off on affairs at state, he was not such a much. “By the time I had ridden a bunch of artillery horses around with some cannons hitched, to them, I lost my taste for equine knick knacks,” he confessed. • It appears that King Massey en-listed in the air service, but suf-fered a crash in Dallas that would have put him out of service if he hadn’t gone into another branch. The Noble Nibs plans to have his own airplane soon, he says, for Royal take-offs, personal, pleasure and business. As for swinging a grandiose golf stick or holding a hand of bridge. His Stately Sublimity says nothing doing. There’s something about the golf game that hasn’t grabbed the Ermine, and he ridicules the claim that it’s exercise. Bridge is his pet antipathy—about his only one. He has other interesting personal characteristics—likes okra, ate snails with a relish in France, and loves to travel. Pursues the Finny In addition, His Highness is quite a pursuer of fish and game. He has STRINGING THE REGAL MINNOWS One of those Intimate poses of Kins Holt of the House of Massey snapped on the royal preserves. The King has his Commoner moments. Delights, to Cooildgc the sovereign streams and brooks. recently taken down from liis office, wall a stuffed fish caught in the north and carried it out to his Spring lake lodge. There still hangs in his business sanctum a farmed pedigree of astonishing length de-picting the ancestry of a blooded English setter—one of four—that he owns. They say Rex, the old thing. Is certain destruction with a gun in his hands. No bull’s eye in the world has ever lived to tell the story. The king confesses to one weak-ness. He can’t read sitting up. Re-gardless of the fact that reading in bed is supposed to ruin Royal eyes, he’s carried his Saturday Evening Post and Liberty to bed many a night and got up the next morning to fell a quail with a single shot. He likes Conrad and reads a good deal, goes out and .smokes a cigaret when opera is being sung, but gets a front seat for the Follies. You know \is Kings will be Kings. But the last and crudest blow for the debutantes and aspirants to regal favor! Domestic bliss is his Kingly paradise. Ah! Ilal The Debs Lose “From 8 a. in. Monday until 8 p. m. Friday I do what the family wants me to ,” he explains as the stately solving of Majestic Matri-mony. "From then on until Monday, I do as I please—which means chas-ing fish or shooting game. It’s worked fine, so far.” The Hob Knob ended.

At That, Though, Texas’ Lieut. Governor, in Ac* tion in Waco Court, Knows His Okra Texas’ lieutenant governor, Barry Miller, is in action In a Waco court-room. He is one of the attorneys for the plaintiff in the suit of W. A. Haley vs. the I.-G. N. railway. Not only has the lieutenant governor a sense of humor, but he is endowed with the courage of a healthy animal. Seeing Barry Miller in action on his private business is a treat. This morn-ing, among the amusing tricks he pulled was one which made even Judge Sam R. Scott grin. Weary of Questions The lieutenant governor, it seems, got weary of certain questions repeat-ed and repeated by the opposing law-yer. Finally, he held a whispered con-ference with the judge then returned to a chair near Senator Edgar Witt’s. “I just asked the judge if I could kick that lawyer, but he hinted that he would have to put me in jail so I guess I can't do it,” the lieutenant governor said. Wore Shell Bims He wore a dark blue suit with a pin stripe in it, a soft felt hat, white shirt and. striped tie. He did not re-move his shell-rimmed glasses during the entire morning. Several times, he arose from his chair as if to stop some of the proceedings, but he would then stand on one foot, dangle or shake the other foot, smile at W. E. Terrell, then sit down again. When questioning witnesses, how-ever, Barry Miller’s whole attitude changed. His face became a picture of all earnestness .and he forgot all sug-gestion of fun or foolishness. When he felt that the opposing lawyer was asking, too many questions or was tak-ing a slightly unfair advantage of a witness, he objected. Same Question 40 Times '’Your honor, this lawyer has asked that same question 40 times,” he de-dared one time. He was standing di-recLly behind ‘this lawyer’ and as If to hold him in the chair, Miller placed his hand on top of the lawyer’s head. All of which amused and pleased the 12 jurymen who seemed very much in* terested in the lieutenant governor. Mr. Miller will probably be here all this week, he thinks. BOND OF $10,000 REMAINS Other Bonds Set or Re-newed Following Ad-journment of the Grand Jury Tuesday Night The grand jury recessed yesterday afternoon until Friday after returning 12 bills of indictment.

TIHS SPEAKER HAS SOT SIGNED AVITH BOSTON TEAM CLEVELAND, Oct. 19.—(UP)—Tris Speaker, member of the AVashington baseball club and former manager of the Cleveland Indians, has not signed to manage the Boston Braves, his wife told the United Press today. THE WEATHER reason” to doubt the correct-ness of his own. “The issue is that a gov-ernment department has gene out df its legitimate domain in promulgating to the world, as its own, a statement for which it has no foundation other than pri-vate sources, the census bureau ex-cepted, and in so doing has injured the growers and holders of cotton. The question is, why? The wrong is accentuated, and there is undoubtedly a wrong, in the bu-reau’s sanction of an undoubted enemy to the cotton interests of the south. AVe are confronted with a government department swallow-ing Manchester statements neck and crop and sanctioning and de-fending them before the world, nay, adopting them as the basis for an official promulgation of the United States/’ SHIP’S ROLL PUTS RUTH TO SLEEP Daring Aviatrix Rests on Voyage After Strenuous Days in the Azores AT SEA (United Press)—Ruth Elder, worn out by the strenuous hospitality of Horta, slept late to-day, apparently little affected by the slight roll of the Lima.

HIS HIGHNESS Ermine Wearer for 1927 ROYAL Cotton Palace Found to Have ‘It’ and Whole Lot, Too HELEN POOL AA'rotc Tills Story IHAA’E just interviewed the King! And what a King! „■ From a female of the species, take it that this year's Royal Court of King Cotton will be presided over by the kingiest king ever. But concerning the Royal Tit-for- Tat. Gets the Majestic Ear Gaining the Majestic ear ovef the telephone, a plea with his Highness for a Hobnob, and then— “Why certainly. You just suit your own convenience. I’ll be in the office all day.” That voice over the telephone! We found it suiting our con-venienco to make our bow just as soon as the Plebeian hair could be smoothed down and the Com-moner’s hat donned. His Nibs was attired in the re-gal tan shirt sleeves, sitting in an office chair without so much as a festive wreath draped over the throne, and grinning as mon-archs do very seldom. There was Make Your Plans Now [AKE your plans now to come to the 1927 Texas Cotton Palace exposition. It is truthfully said that never before have such pains been put forth-^to give you enter-tainment and lots of it. Do not come one day—come sev-era! days. You will find pleas-ures abound. GRANTS HOBNOB something about his appearance —oh yes; Iron gray hair, with a face beneath about as lined and careworn as a college grad-uate’s. The Sovereign’s appear-ance couldn’t' be improved, a subject secretly decides. Oh well, it was meant to be secretly. AA’e couldn’t help if it showed. ‘It’ Lots of It “Do you have much ‘It?’ Enough to assure you that you’ll carry off this King business all right?” was the somewhat su-perfluous inquiry directed at the King. “I should say so! Do you know—” His Highness leaned forward confidentially — "I’m just lousy with It. It just posi-tively radiates from me.” “Aha!” we agreed. “And how do you like being King?” The question had to come. AA’e tried to avoid it, but. it sneaked up and leaped out unexpectedly. We knew before the words were spoken what to expect. The King would look bored, yawn a slight trifle behind the Monarchical palm and murmur that he didn’t care much for it, hut supposed it had to be gone through. But lo! “Fine. I’m really enjoying it,” this surprising sovereign remarked. “I helped stage the first coronation back in 1913 when Edward Rotan was king, and I’ve kinda taken a hand in all of them. I had had a lit-tie experience in the show business that made me interested.” Sli! He Was on the Stage We mentally decided that he prob-ably held a show in the upstairs of his barn one time and charged two royal pins for it, from the casual way be mentioned the “show bust-ness.” It was to our surprise later on in the hobnob, to discover that His Kighness Holt has been on the stage in New York. “Heeding the call of art,” Holt termed it, with another unmajestlc grin. He evidently heeded the call of a good many other things when he was quite a callow youth. Rex was a member of Baylor’s first football team in 1907, when the boys rushed out to joust behind noseguards and other funny contraptions. The Royal Ribs shook with glee as he recalled the day that the coach had started the team on a trot out to Day’s lake —now Spring lake—on a hot Sep-tember day. “He was a Yankee, and September was fall to him. regardless of a 90 degree temperature here. I was among those not present—who fell in the fall—when they limped up to the lake. I think I had. fallen by a wayside tree a good many miles back.” the King recalled. He re-called other memories of stories and co-eds at Baylor but in no detail whatsoever. Took the Royal Spill This Palace Pharoah also served In the army. It came to light when he admitted that when It came to mounting a prancing charger and hieing himself off on affairs at state, he was not such a much. “By the time I had ridden a bunch of artillery horses around with some cannons hitched, to them, I lost my taste for equine knick knacks,” he confessed. • It appears that King Massey en-listed in the air service, but suf-fered a crash in Dallas that would have put him out of service if he hadn’t gone into another branch. The Noble Nibs plans to have his own airplane soon, he says, for Royal take-offs, personal, pleasure and business. As for swinging a grandiose golf stick or holding a hand of bridge. His Stately Sublimity says nothing doing. There’s something about the golf game that hasn’t grabbed the Ermine, and he ridicules the claim that it’s exercise. Bridge is his pet antipathy—about his only one. He has other interesting personal characteristics—likes okra, ate snails with a relish in France, and loves to travel. Pursues the Finny In addition, His Highness is quite a pursuer of fish and game. He has STRINGING THE REGAL MINNOWS One of those Intimate poses of Kins Holt of the House of Massey snapped on the royal preserves. The King has his Commoner moments. Delights, to Cooildgc the sovereign streams and brooks. recently taken down from liis office, wall a stuffed fish caught in the north and carried it out to his Spring lake lodge. There still hangs in his business sanctum a farmed pedigree of astonishing length de-picting the ancestry of a blooded English setter—one of four—that he owns. They say Rex, the old thing. Is certain destruction with a gun in his hands. No bull’s eye in the world has ever lived to tell the story. The king confesses to one weak-ness. He can’t read sitting up. Re-gardless of the fact that reading in bed is supposed to ruin Royal eyes, he’s carried his Saturday Evening Post and Liberty to bed many a night and got up the next morning to fell a quail with a single shot. He likes Conrad and reads a good deal, goes out and .smokes a cigaret when opera is being sung, but gets a front seat for the Follies. You know \is Kings will be Kings. But the last and crudest blow for the debutantes and aspirants to regal favor! Domestic bliss is his Kingly paradise. Ah! Ilal The Debs Lose “From 8 a. in. Monday until 8 p. m. Friday I do what the family wants me to ,” he explains as the stately solving of Majestic Matri-mony. "From then on until Monday, I do as I please—which means chas-ing fish or shooting game. It’s worked fine, so far.” The Hob Knob ended.

At That, Though, Texas’ Lieut. Governor, in Ac* tion in Waco Court, Knows His Okra Texas’ lieutenant governor, Barry Miller, is in action In a Waco court-room. He is one of the attorneys for the plaintiff in the suit of W. A. Haley vs. the I.-G. N. railway. Not only has the lieutenant governor a sense of humor, but he is endowed with the courage of a healthy animal. Seeing Barry Miller in action on his private business is a treat. This morn-ing, among the amusing tricks he pulled was one which made even Judge Sam R. Scott grin. Weary of Questions The lieutenant governor, it seems, got weary of certain questions repeat-ed and repeated by the opposing law-yer. Finally, he held a whispered con-ference with the judge then returned to a chair near Senator Edgar Witt’s. “I just asked the judge if I could kick that lawyer, but he hinted that he would have to put me in jail so I guess I can't do it,” the lieutenant governor said. Wore Shell Bims He wore a dark blue suit with a pin stripe in it, a soft felt hat, white shirt and. striped tie. He did not re-move his shell-rimmed glasses during the entire morning. Several times, he arose from his chair as if to stop some of the proceedings, but he would then stand on one foot, dangle or shake the other foot, smile at W. E. Terrell, then sit down again. When questioning witnesses, how-ever, Barry Miller’s whole attitude changed. His face became a picture of all earnestness .and he forgot all sug-gestion of fun or foolishness. When he felt that the opposing lawyer was asking, too many questions or was tak-ing a slightly unfair advantage of a witness, he objected. Same Question 40 Times '’Your honor, this lawyer has asked that same question 40 times,” he de-dared one time. He was standing di-recLly behind ‘this lawyer’ and as If to hold him in the chair, Miller placed his hand on top of the lawyer’s head. All of which amused and pleased the 12 jurymen who seemed very much in* terested in the lieutenant governor. Mr. Miller will probably be here all this week, he thinks.
