DEATH SENTENCE
RENDERED BY JURY
BURRELL OATES AGAIN CONVICTED ON
MURDER CHARGE.
The Jurors Only Remained Oat Twenty-Five Minutes Btfore Reporting
Their Finding to Judge Muse—Speeches Were Made at
the Close of the Trial—Negro Arrested
on Perjury Charge.

m
Last night at 7:20 o'clock the Jury in the Burrell Oates murder case,
after being out exactly twenty-five minutes, returned the following verdict:
"We, the jury, find Burrell Oates, the defendant, guilty of murder in the
first degree and assess his punishment at death. J. B. Jennings, foreman."
This verdict was returned after a whole day had been taken up in argu-
ments, with the exception of a few minutes yesterday morning, during
which time the examination of a witness was completed. The verdict was
no surprise to those who have been keeping up with the case, and the pre-
diction had been freely made that this would be the verdict that the jury
would bring in.
The entire week which ended yesterday was Jaken up In the trial of
-.this case. The first two days of the week were occupied by the attorneys
for the defendant in an effort to secure a change of venue on the grounds
that he could not secure a fair and impartial trial in Dallas county. A large
number of witnesses from all parts of the county were examined an4 the
evidence introduced seemed to Indicate beyond a doubt that there was a
large number of the residents of Dallas county who had never heard of the
killing, and on this ground- Judge Muse of the Criminal District court re-
fused to grant a change of venue.
A special venire of 150 men from which to select a jury had been
summoned and this part of the trial was taken up Wednesday. It had been
seen, however, that the venire would easily be exhausted without the jury
being secured, and four deputy sheriffs rode all night Tuesday night and
each of them summoned thirty men which made a total of 120 more tales-
men from which to select the jury.
All day Thursday was taken up in the securing of the jury and the fol-
lowing men vere finally selected to decide the fate of the negro: G. H.
Pa'ngburn, Hutchins; W. C. Whitfield, Garland; C. R. Lyles, Garland; W.
C. Beard, Wilmer; H. Gallop, Scyene; O. E. Conley, Garland; A. R. Morris,
Garland; J. R. Jennings, Scyene; T. M. Brown, R. F. D. No. 3, Dallas; D.
S. Bailey, Farmers Branch; J. T. Hood, R. F. D. No. 6, Dallas, and James
Filc-her, Dallas.
RAILROAD SUED
BY COMMISSION
'* Chicago, April 29.—The interstate commerce commission to-day, through
United States District Attorney Morrison, brought Suit against the Chicago
Great Western Railway company ahd seventeen other railways in Missouri,
Illinois and Kansas.
The commission asks for an injunction of the federal court prohibiting
the eighteen roads from discriminating in the prices charged for carrying
live stock and charges for carrying dressed meat. The hearing of this in-
junction prayer, it is said, will likely bring to light many matters of interest.
Since the federal grand jury has been in session, considering the charges
made against the beef trust, complaints regarding rates have been numerous
among those who find themselves unable to explain the difference between
the, prices of meat on the hoof and of dressed meats.
CAPITAL CITY
NEWS BUDGET
Austin, April 29.—The office of chief
Clerk in the state department is made
vacant by O. K. Shannon's advance-
ment. The new secretary of state is
being flooded with applications, no less
than twenty having already been filed,
Beveral of whom are Austin people. It
will be, however, several days before
Mr. Shannon decides into whose lap
be will toss this nice official plum.
♦ ♦ ♦
-The receipts of the state treasurer
yesterday from interest due on land
notes held by the permanent school
fund amounted to $18,586.40. This is
the largest sum received in one day
in some time.
♦ ♦ ♦
Governor Lanham yesterday approv-
ed the bond of O. K. Shannon, the new
secretary of state, and it was filed with
the comptroller. Some of the strong-
est men, financially, In Austin, are
sureties on the bond.
♦ ♦ ♦
It has fallen to the lot of Governor
Lanham to make a very large number
of important appointments during the
three years of his incumbency. Among
these may be mentioned Judges Tol-
bot and Eidson on the court of civil
appeals, Adjutant General Hulen,
Comptroller Stephens, Secretary of
State Shannon, fourteen district judges
and seven district attorneys.
♦ ♦ ♦
El Paso county redeemed yester-
day bonds to the amount of 112,000
held by the permanent school fund and
paid interest to the amount of (4780
on others.
Gilmer independent school district
5aid $480 interest due on bonds held
y the same fund.

The governor yesterday approved
senate bill No. 2, an act making an ap-
propriation of $10,000 to pay the con-
tingent expenses of the special ses-
sion of the Twenty-ninth legislature;
and also senate bill No. 3, making an
appropriation of $33,000 to pay the per
tiem of the members.

Governor Lanham yesterday vetoed
bouse bill No. 2*0, an act passed by
the present legislature authorising the
State board of education to purchase
state warrants with the money of the
permanent school fund. The text of
the governor's proclamation disapprov-
ing this act >s as follows:
To the Secretary of State: I disap-
prove and herewith transmit house
bill No. 2t0, entitled "An act to author-
ise the state board of education to pur-
chase state warrants with the perma-
nent school fund. I give notice and
proclaim that 1 object to this bill for
tbe following reasons, to-wit: It au-
thorises the purchase of state warrants
at a discount, and contemplates a de-
tan tbe methods now and
employed for the invest-
is not believed to be good policy for
the state to enter into the field of
speculation in its own warrants or to
buy thein at a discount. They should
be maintained at par and not be de-
preciated by the state's action. The
permanent .school fund should, in keep-
ing with the custom that has long pre-
vailed, be Invested in approved inter-
est-bearing, long time obligations. The
law authorizes the purchase of certain
bonds with this fund, the interest ac-
cruing therefrom to be applied for the
•benefit of the available school fund,
and in consequence a steady increase
is derived. To purchase state war-
rants, under the provision of this bill,
would disarrange the system which
has operated so satisfactorily, and, to
the extent of such purchase, prevent
desirable investments in bonds that
might be offered, and if any advantage
should result it would only be tem-
porary in its character. I believe it
to be unwise to change the course that
has been uniformly pursued for so
many years in the investment of the
permanent school fund. Accordingly
I veto this bill.
♦ ♦ ♦
O. K. Shannon, the new secretary of
state, held quite an ovation yesterday.
All day his friends dropped in in pairs,
trios, quartettes, quintettes and sex-
tettes to offer their congratulations
and compliments upon his elevation
to the head of the state department,
which from Its very nature stands next
in distinction and honor to that of the
governor.
Secretary of State Shannon has not
named his chief clerk, a position made
vacant by his promotion, and said yes-
terday he would not do so for several
days.
Mr. Shannon is not a native of Tex-
as, but there is no man in the state
with more enthusiastic state pride. He
glories in its history and revels in the
memories of its heroes and pioneers.
In 1898 he was married to Miss Emma
Armstrong, a most charming and ac-
complished daughter of Dr. R. C.
Armstrong. And more, she enjoys the
distinction of being the granddaughter
of George W. Smythe, a prominent
member of the congress of the Republic
of Texas, an early Texas patriot and
pioneer of renown. Col. Smythe has
also the distinction of being the first
commissioner of the general land of-
fice after Texas was annexed as a state
to the American Union.
This reporter saw Mrs. Shannon yes-
terday and her eloquent words fully
Justifies the conclusion that she was
as much If not more elated over her
splendid young husband's advance-
ment, than he was himself.
♦ ♦ ■
Prof. J. W. Cantwell, superintend-
ent of the Corsicana high school, and
twenty-eight pupils came down yes-
terday to attend the athletic meet of
the various high schools of the state
now being held at th« State University.
Hon. Richard Mays of the house
presented Prof. Cantwell and his pu-
pils to Governor Lanham, and after
wards chaperoned them over the state
house, showing them many things In
which they evinced the liveliest Inter-
est, and keenest relish.
Afterwards Prof. Cantwell escorted
bis young folks over the Capital City,
visiting many of the institutions and
places of interest.
Ah, but this is a beautiful city,-
slam, "and one that excites the pride
of all Texans," which exclamation was
heartily amened by his pupils.
♦ ♦ ♦
D. E. Jones, tax collector of Eastland
county, came down yesterday and filed
his annual settlement papers with the
comptroller.
♦ ♦ ♦
The comptroller yesterday register-
ed $7500 water works bonds of the city
of Pittsburg. These bonds bear inter-
est at the rate of 4 per cent per annum
and run forty years.
♦ ♦ ♦
During the hiatus that occurred be-
tween the time of the death of Mr. Curl
and the appointment of Mr. Shannon,
when nothing under the law could be
done, the business in the state depart-
ment so accumulated that the force is
completely swamped in work. Under
a high pressure, working until 10
o'clock at night, it will be several days
before they catch up.
LAW AND LAWMAKERS.
Tied a String to Appropriations—Leg-
islative Gossip.
Austin, Tex., April 29.—The senate
tied a string to the amounts appropri-
ated for the support of the state gov-
ernment and its various institutions
for the next two years, tied the hands
of the various boards of managers and
trustees by inserting the following
provision:
"Provided that the amounts heroin
appropriated for each item, as slated
herein, and no more, shall be paid out
of the general revenue for the fiscal
years beginning September 1, 1905, and
ending August 31, 1907, and any sur-
plus shall not be diverted from one ac-
count to another account, and provided
further, that no deficiency shall be
credited, nor shall any warrants be Is-
sued, nor. obligations incurred in excess
of the amounts herein appropriated."
It is thought this provision will be
adopted In the senate, and judging by
the action of the house in refusing to
pay the deficiency incurred In the
construction of a laundry at the epi-
leptic colony at Abilene, that body will
adopt it in a whoop.
Should this be done, there is a
strong probability that there will be
a wholesale resignations on the part of
the various boards of managers and
trustees, as some objection has already
been expressed to this inflexible rule
and murmurs and mutterings of pro
test are heard.
However this may be, the "hand
writing on the wall" is plain to be
read, that in the years to come, If not
now, boards must spend no more
money than the legislature allows; if
so, they incur the liability.
The committee on appropriations
held a continuous performance yester-
day and worked all day on the general
appropriation bill. It was thought at
the beginning of the week the commit-
tee would have the bill ready to report
to the house to-day. It is quite evident
now, however, while some progress
was made yesterday, the bill will not
be ready to report to the house before
Monday, and it may be later.
Meantime nothing whatever will l e
done, or can be done, and the mem-
bers are growing restless and impa-
tient over the Idleness.

DECLARE NEW LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Austin, Tex., April 29.—The constitutionality of the act passed by the
twenty-ninth legislature generally known as the Bowser bill, increafing and
equalizing the taxes imposed on foreicn and domestic corporations, is to be
tested in the courts. The insurance companies have taken the Initiative in
the matter.
In: the fifty-third district court to-day a suit was filed, the law firms
of Alexander & Thompson of Dallas, Gilbert & Crane of Dallas, and Corden,
Senter & Corden of Dallas, and Hogg, Watklns & Jones of Houston, repre-
senting the German Alliance Insurance company of New York and forty-two
other companies, both foreign and domestic, doing business in Texas,
against O. K. Shannon, secretary of state, for a temporary injunction to re-
strain and enjoin the secretary of state from collecting the franchise tax
from the plaintiffs under house bill No. 12 (the Bowser bill), effective April
18, 1905, passed by the twenty-ninth legislature, upon the ground that said
bill is unconstitutional; also, to restrain and enjoin htm from assessing any
penalties against the plaintiffs for failure to pay the tax; also, to restrain
and enjoin him from forft-itlng permits of foreign and domestic corporations
to do business In Texas. The plaintiffs furnished an Injunction bond in the
sum of $10,000, which was approved.
The court granted a restraining order pending the hearing of the appli-
cation for a temporary writ of injunction, which was set for next Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock before Judge Calhoun in the fifty-third district court.
The petitioners allege that the present bill or present, enactment Increases
the tax on all Insurance companies in the state from $20,000 to $30,000 an-
nually. Among the grounds urged by the plaintiffs against the valadity of
the bill is that it is In conflict with section 35, article 3. and section 36. ar-
ticle 3, of the state constitution. Also that It is in violation of the clauso
in the constitution requiring taxes to be equal and uniform, and also It is
in violation of the federal constitution which prohibits taking of property
without due process of law. It is also charged by the plaintiffs that the law
Is vague and uncertain.
Secretary of State Shannon was served with a copy of the restraining
order notifying him to appear in court May 6 to show cause why a tem-
porary injunction as prayed for shall not be granted.

The full text of Governor Lanham's
message vetoing the bill proposing to
establish a home for the wives and
widows of Confederate veterans Is as
follows:
April 24, 1905.
To the Secretary of State:
1 disapprove and herewith tninsmlt
House Bill No. 387, entitled "An Act
to create and establish a 'Confederate
Woman's Home' for the Indigent
wives and widows 'of the ex-Confeder-
ate soldiers and sailors of Texas; and
to make an appropriation for the main-
tenance of the same, and to provide
for a governing board."
I give notice and publicly proclaim
that I object to this bill, and It is
heieby vetoed tfor the following reas-
ons:
It Is in conflict with Section PI,
Article 3, of the Constitution. It is
made manifest by reference to the
original section 51 as Incorporated In
the Constitution of 1876 In connection
with the amendment thereto adopted
in 1894 and the one adopted in 1898.
The original section inentioned reads
as follows: "The legislature shall have
no power to make any grant or author-
ize the making of nmy grant of public
money to any Individual, association
of individuals, municipal or other cor-
porations whatsoever; provided that
this shall not be so construed as to
prevent the grant of aid in the case
of public calamity." Afterwards, when
It was proposed to grant aid to the es-
tablishment and maintenance of a
home for indigent and disabled Con-
federate soldiers and sailors, It was
found necessary to adopt the amnnd-
ment of 1894. Still later, when It was
desired to further provide a pension
for such soldiers and sailors and their
widows in IndlKent. circumstances. It
became necessary to adopt the amend-
ment of 1898.
It will be observed that the amend-
ment of 1894 authorized the legisla-
ture to grant aid to indigent and dis-
abled' Confederate soldiers and sail-
ors and "their widows In IndlKent cir-
cumstances;" providing that the same
should not exceed $8.00 per month.
This clearly refers to the pensions
which were afterwards provided for by
the leg'slature by virtue of this amend-
ment.
This section 51, Article 3. of the
Constitution, as now amended, ex-
pressly authorizes granting of pensions
to such soldiers and sailors and their
widows, and also expressly authorizes
the legislature to grant aid to the es-
tablishment and maintenance of a
home for said soldiers and sailors.
Then? provisions are exceptions to
the general Inhibition that "The legis-
lature has no power to make any grant
or authorize any grant, or authorize
the making of any grant of public
money to any Individual, association
of individuals, municipal or other cor-
poration whatsoever."
It will be seen that there Is not only
no express authority for the grant of
aid to the establishment and main-
tenance of a home for the wives and
widows of Confederate soldiers and
sailors, but there is by clear implica-
tion a denial of such authority. This
bill proposes to create, establish, main-
tain and make an appropriation for a
Confederate Woman's home, not only
for the Indigent widows, but for the
wives of the ex-('onfederate soldiers
and sailors of Texas.
1 believe this bill to be unconstitu-
tional and am hence unable to give It
Executive approval.
(Signed) 8. W. T. IjANHAM.
Governor.
* Why He Vetoed the Home Bill
of authority from the Commissioner of
Insurance * * • to do business In
this state, shall make application for
a change of venue or to move any suit
or action to which It is a party hereto-
fore or hereafter commenced In any
court of this state in the United States
district or circuit court or any Federal
court, the Commissioner of insurance
* * * shall not at the expiration of
the certificate of authority of such In-
surance company to iio business in this
state, renew and grant to such Insur-
ance company another certificate of
authority to do business In this state
for a period of three years « • •
and such Insurance company shall
thereafter be prohibited from transact*
Ing business iu this state until again
duly authorized."
The original act (Article 3049) which
this bill proposes to amend, provides as
follows: "but no subsequent ceitilicate
of authority shall be Issued to any
company organised under the laws of
uny other state or country when It
shall be made to appear that such
company has removed from any court
of this state to a court of the United
States for trial any suit brought
against it by a. citizen of this state to
recover for a loan under a policy of
Insurance Issued by such company, and
that by such removal, the suit has
been transferred without and beyond
the limits of the county within which
the citizen resides."
The proposed amendment goes fur-
ther than the original act, In that it
seeks to prohibit the Issuance of a
subsequent certificate for a period of
three years If Ihe offending company
shall make application for a change of
venue or "to move" the cause into a
Federal court, while the original act
as It now roads only prohibits a re-
Issuance where there Is a removal
from a state to a federal court, sitting
outside the county In which the suit
is brought. I cannot believe that It
is a proper thing to deprive nny liti-
gant of a positive right to take from
him any privilege enjoyed because be
may make application for a change of
venue In a suit In court. In 1887, an
net (afterwards repealed In 1889) was
passed In this state applicable to ail
foreign corporations, providing that
"any foreign corporation sued or Im-
pleaded Jn nny of the courts of this
state upon any contrnct made In this
state, or to he performed In this state,
or for any act of omission, public or
private originating or happening la
this state, which shall remove any
such cause from such state court Into
any of the Federal courts held or sit-
ting In this state, for the cause that
such corporation Is a non-resident of
this state, or resident of another state
than that of the adverse party, or of
local prejudice agaln«t. such corpora-
tion, shall thereupon forfeit and render
null and void nny permit granted to
such corporation to transact business
In this state." This act was held to
be unconstitutional by our Supreme
court. (See Mortgage Co. vs. Worsh-
am, 76 Texas, 556.)
There have been other decisions of
the courts bearing upon similar sub-
ject matter, and while I am unprepared
to sny that they all sustain the doctrine
announced In the case mentioned, I am
of the opinion that the amendment
here proposed would be rejected by
the courts. It Is not questioned that
the state may Impose reasonable
terms upon foreign corporations and
require them to obtain permits to
transact their business within the
state, but I do not believe that It could
go to the extent of shutting the door
In the face of an effort to obtain Justice
and closing Its courts to preclude the
assertion of such ft right as to make
an application for a change of venue,
to say nothing of the propriety of
maintaining good feeling and comity
as between the states and Ihe Federal
government.
Aitlcle 3049, above quoted, which the
bill seeks to amend, has a provision af-
fecting the right of a foreign Insurance
company doing business In this state
to remove a cause Into the Federal
court outside of the county In which
the suit Is pending and which. It seems
to me, does not need the drastic propo-
sition which this bill would Impose.
For these reasons, I veto this bill.
