Jiidgs Poindexter Outlines His Policies on
Prohibition Question,In Speech Before
Tarrant County Democrats.
Fort Worth, Jan. 22.—
Judge Wm. Poindexter of Cle-
burne, democratic candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination who
baris his platform to a large ex
tent on the prohibition question,
p/irWsc* /'! the Tarrant county
pro- democrats here this after-
noon.
Besides reiterating his views
favoring prohibition, Poindexter
went farther than Cone Johnson
by declaring that he advocates
the passage of a stronger liquor
law until the constitutional a-
mendment throwing out liquor
has been passed. Poindexter
said that he would urge a law
prohibiting dealers selling liquoi
except in small quantities anc,
making a violation of the law
felony.
Poindexter also recommends
a law making the annual tax for
handling liquor three thousand
dollors. He de ¿lares that lit;
will announce his full platform
some time this week.
Sterling Price Strong and A.
S. Hawkins of Midland who have
entered the race for lieutenant
governor also spoke here this
afternoon, outlining their pol-
icies.
A large crowd attended the ad-
dress of Poindexter who was
frequently cheered throughout
his speech. The Cleburne pro-
hibitionist used strong and stir-
ring language in denouncing the
liquor traffic and the manufac-
ture of intoxicants in all forms.
He will return here the early
part of February and again ad-
dress himself to the prohibitionist
of the county.
cities of the country.
The prices of admission have
been placed at 75c for adults and
50c for children. Reserved seats
may be secured at the drug store
^without extra charge.
This attraction is under a very
heavy daily expense and it is to
be hoped that a full house will
greet them upon their appearance
here so that we may expect more
of this class of entertainment in
the future.

REPORT EXPtCTEO SCON
From Auditors tn tiie investigating Commit-
tee and Then Disclosures of Startling
Nature May k Expected.
Austin, Jan. 19.—
Quite a stir was caused here
this morning by tiio statement
issued by Senator Claude Huds-
peth, chairman o¡' the sub-com-
mittee, investigating the peniten-
tiary, who was in LI I'd^oUt-
day. The state officials refuse to
comment on the statement other
than to declare that thev believe
that Hudspeth has been misin-
formed.
In his statemeut Senator Huds-
peth declared that indications are
that there is a shortage in the
funds of the penitentiaries but
that so far the amount which is
missing is not known. He said
that the affair will probally be
disclosed when the auditors re-
port to the committee is made at
Huntsville either tomorrow or
Friday. The Senator stated that
it was his understanding that the
disclosures would be stanling
and show that the entire peni-
tentiary system had been very
loosely conducted during the last
ten years.
Although governor Campbell
showed considerable interest in
the statement of Hudspeth he
this morning refused to make a
statement concerning the affair.
It is presumed that he will voice
an opinion on the matter as soon
as the report of the auditors has
been submitted.
Miss Brunette Wood has ac-
cepted a position with the Mews.
Miss Brunette is one of our most
popular young ladies and the
News rejoices at securing her
service.
A BLACK CAT
FOR WEST POINT
Senator Clark of Wyoming
Sends One as Cadet.
West Point. N. Y., Jan. 24--Fer
the first time in more than a
quarter of a century West Point
is confronted with the possibility
of having to admit a negro as a
student. The negro, Ollie Smith,
of Cheyenne, Wyoming, has been
named as the alternate for the
next Wyoming vacancy which
will occur in a few months. Sen-
ator Clark of Wyoming made the
appointment.
The older officers here say that
the entrance of a negro cadet in
the corps has always occasioned
trouble. The moment the black
enters the academy he "goes in-
to Coventry"—effectually ostrac-
until he is graduated or dis*
