Texas Clubs Frown
On Messenger Deal
SAN ANTONIO. Aug. 31.—(A*)—If
there was any further doubt that
six clubs of the Texas league looked
with disfavor upon the sale of Andy
Messenger, star Indian slabster. to
Wichita Falls, it was removed this
week when they refused to sanction
a transfer of three scheduled games
here to the Bpudder city.
The club owners without hesita
tion agreed to transfer the scheduled
Labor Day doubleheader here to
Waco In order to help attendance
and likewise permitted a series with
Fort Worth Aug. 30. 31 and Sept. 1
to be shifted to Pantherville, but
they balked at sending three tilts
to Wichita Falls.
Several clubs that had been bid
ding for Messenger to no avail,
were said to have been aggrieved
when the Spuddera grabbed him off.

BILLCUTSOUT
STATE AUDITOR
Find $40,000 Fund For De
partment Not Provided
In Appropriations
(Special to The Herald)
APSTIN, Aug. 21.—The legislature
has failed to appropriate money for
operation of the new state auditor’s
department, it was revealed Tues
day.
Unless a special session of the
legislature is called, the department
would have to shut up alter approx
imately one year of the biennial pe
riod beginning September 1. The
original act creating the depart
ment appropriated 140.000 on which
the auditors office was to be or
ganized and to run for approxi
mately a year.
By oversight or otherwise, the de
partment was left entirely out of
the departmental appropriation bill,
it has become known. Considerable
opposition over creating the new de
partment developed and it was be
lieved friends of the new “civil serv
ice" agency hesitated to idve op
ponents of the measure a shot at
it in the appropriations bill. De
feat of the appropriation had it
been offered, would have barred
further efforts to keep the new de
partment going, 1 ut as it is. the
expected special sesaior* in January
will be free to make the appropria
tion if a majority of Its members
are wailing.
Governor Moody, abandoning his
long fight to hav a civil service
bureau for the state set up, said
the auditor’s department will be
able to achieve all the reform- de
sired under civil service.

in his career of hits.
The First National star who gave
us "The Patent Leather Kid" and
"The Noose,” makes his appearance
on the screen tomorrow at the
Texas theater in "Weary River.”

mess an unusual role to play. Ho

dramatic story to tell, a real, living,
breathing character to portray, and
situations brimming with extraordi
nary histrionic opportunities. And

itably at the piano.
Cast as Paul de Remy. a world
famous pianist, with a slight pre
dilection for the charms of fair
ladies. Menjou plays at the game
of love once too often. That is. he
becomes entangled with the beau
tiful young wife of another man,
while his tolerant, understanding
wife closes her eyes to the latest
affair of her temperamental hus
band. But when the distracted hus
band of Menjou's latest conquest
decides to put a stop to the whole
affair. Menjou's wile joins him in
an effort to teach her husband a
lasting lesson. All of which, skil
fully developed with a keeu appre
ciation for sophisticated comedy,
makes "Fashions in Love” the gay,
enjoyable picture it Is.
