Texas Lawmakers
Making Ready for
Session of Battles
AUSTIN, April 16.—This final week before the legislature meets In
fepecial session will be a busy one for lawmakers and Qov. Dan Moody 1
L in shaping the bills to be taken up when the session convenes.
The $40,000,000 general appropriations bills, which must be passed at
a special session, will not be taken up the first thing in the new session
"kfi_i:_A_1 . . T
muwy juuicaieu, in suomii
ting only three subjects in his call
for the session.
s These subjects are prison concen
tration, which was killed by the
house in the closing days of the old
session, civil service, also killed at
the regular session, and creation of
the nine-member state board of
education, a new subject.
Other legislation expected to be
laid before this 30-day session in
cludes the appropriations bills and
the regulation of public utilities,
advocated by Gov. Moody, and
which was passed over from the
regular session undisposed of; in
crease of the gasoline sales tax
and decrease of motor license fees;
and some method of highway fi
nancing.
Moody’s uterances in suggesting
a law that would make the death
penalty, after commutation, again
effective in case of escape, based
on the escape last Saturday morn
ing of J. R. Silver, may give the
solans another legislative topic.
The state department will press
for the submission of its blue sky
bill, overlooked in the press of lo
cal bills at the end of the ‘ slaugh- i
ter session' in March.
Three of the subjects promise
‘■fireworks” in the session and
others likely will stir more vigor
ous parliamentary jockeying than
even the frustrated highway bond
plan in the regular session.
"Fighting ’ subjects will be prison
concentration, which occupied near
ly one-fourth the whole time of the
regular session; increase of gaso
line taxes, always a contested is
sue; another attempt at a civil ser
; vice bill on which Gov. Moody al
ready is in a fighting mood; and
regulation of public utilities, in
which sentiment is sharply arrayed
in the senate, and city representa
tives are vigorously opposing other
interests.
Gov. Moody must submit each
subject before action can be taken
at the special session; though some
legislators insist they have a right
to plunge into the appropriations at
once without further mandate.
He likely will submit his own ac
cepted forms of bills on civil ser
vice, public utilities control, and
will re-offer his “open plan” bill to
permit the relocation and central
isation of the prison system.

Houston Officers Follow
Woman Who Proves Con
victed Man’s Undoing
HOUSTON. Tex., April 18.—iff) j
—A woman was the undoing ox Bob j
Silver, young bandit who, with four .
other convicts, sawed out of the
tubercular ward of the Wynne
state prison farm.
Silver, whose death sentence for
participation in the holdup-killing i
of Roscoe Wilson, Fort Worth
moving picture house manager,
was commutd less than an hour j
before he was to begm a march to
the electric chair, was recaptured
here last night by officers who fol
lowed a woman.
He suavely told his captors they
had overlooked a pistol in search
ing him and declared his mother's
appeal, broadcast from a Fort
Worth radio station, that he give
himself up had set him to think
ing and that he had about decided
to grant her entreaty.
His companions ui the break,
three ox whom, like him, were
charged with robbery by firearms
for holding up a young college
couple near the prison farm and
commandeering their automobile
to complete their getaway Friday
night, already had been caught.
Trailing Miss Parlee King, 26,
after a chance tip from an un
named man who led to the hypo
thesis that she was going to the
youth, the police arrested Silver
when he and Carl Lawder, an
Oklahoma ex-convict, entered Miss
Kings automobile on a street 20
blocks from the business district.
The woman and Lawder were
charged with aiding an escaped
prisoner.
Silver's dramatic attempt to
evade his sentence caused an ex
change of sarcastic telegrams be
tween Governor Dan Moody, who
saved the former Kansas City resi
dent from electrocution, and offi
cials of Walker county, center of
the prison system.
