west of discovery, is drilling in shale
and lime at 6512 feet and is the
most rapidly drilled hole in the area
to date.

The Gulf States No. 1 Engleman,
was placed on 4 -inch choke Sun
day and production on that choke
Was guaged at 30 barrels daily, with
working pressure of about 900 pounds.
The production is still a pale yellow

now cleaning on 3-32 inch tubing
choke with tubing working pressure
of 875 pounds and closed-in casing
pressure of 1.060 pounds.

104 New Laws To
Become Effective
For Texans Friday
_
AUSTIN. Aug. 5. tA*)—Texans will i
have 104 new laws added to al
ready crowded statute books this
week.
Bills affecting public and private
welfare in sundry ways will become
I laws Friday, the ninetieth day after
adjournment of the legislature’s
regular session. The group consti
tutes about one-fourth of the bill
crop of the four-month meeting.
Thirteen of the laws will affect
single counties, many of the 91
others, while general in terms, will
apply to only small minorities. Still
others will correct ambiguities and
minor omissions in civi statutes.
Most important in interest and
effect is the act creating a depart
ment of public safety as an agency
to weld the ranger force and state
highway patrol into a modernized
fitate police system.
Bureaus of intelligence, com
munications, education, and iden
tification and records will comprise
the department. The rangers and
highway patrol, retaining their
identities, will form two of three
departmental divisions, the third
being the headquarters division.
Three commissioners of public
safety will manage the department
through a director. In advance 0*
the acts becoming law. Governor
Allred selected George W. Cotting
ham of Houston. Albert Sidney
Johnson and Ernest Goens of Tyler
to be commissioners.
Another new law for the safety
of Texans will prohibit owners of
livestock from permitting animals
to run at large on highways with
fenoed rights-of-way. Violations
I will face a fine of up to $200.
A new penal offense will be cre
mated, that of attempted burglary
of a vessel, steamboat or railroad
car. Law enforcement against this
type of crime has been difficult for
only effected burglaries constituted
a violation.
Venue for murder trials will be
broadened by another act. A per
son charged with murder may. by
the act, be tried in the county
where the body was found, as well
a > in tne county where the fatal in
jury was done or death occurred.
To enable a closer study of con
victs' behavior and records, the
board of pardons and paroles will
be moved to Huntsville, site of the
main prison, while another act will
give prison guards a substantial
salary boost.
Two businesses will be added to
those under state regulation, but
restrictions on a third will be re
laxed slightly.
Funeral directors will be licensed
and supervised by the board of
embalming, while transportation
agents, who conduct travel bureaus,
will be regulated by the railroad
commission.
Restrictions on nurses’ training
schools will be modified to permit
such schools in small hospitals.
That act will reduce the muumum
size of hospitals permitted to con
duct nurses schools from that pre
viously set by the board of nurse
examiners.
Depression period refinancing by
sundry subdivisions will be aided
by several bills validating issuance
of bonds and tax levies, while an
other relief act will cancel all ad
valorem taxes delinquent prior to
December 31. 1929. It will effec
tuate a constitutional amendment
adopted several years ago.
Another hard-times bill will ex
pand the items of family property
n ent of debts. Property so exempt
henceforth will include not only the
family homestead and kitchen pots
and pans, along with a cemetery
lot, two horses and a wagon, but
also "one dog.’’ as well as wearing
apparel, "twenty head of goats.”
and flocks of chickens, turkey*,
ducks, geese and guineas.
Texts for teaching the German
language, expunged from Texas
h'gh schools during the World War,
again will enter the approved list
lor which the text-book commis
sion may make adoptions. The act
also will permit adoption of texts
:cr teaching Czech.
A new law to safeguard patrotism
In schools will become effective
concurrently. Because of evidences
ccirmunism and other un-American
doctrines were being taught, Texas
teachers In the futures must swear
a’legiance to the constitutions of
Texas and the United States.
Three years will be added to the
maximum age of persons given free
tuition in schools, while another act
affecting the educational system
will permit consolidation of tax
assessing, collecting and legal de
partments of two or more inde
pendent school districts.
The southern states "Jim Crow
law" will be extended to motor buse%
which will be required to provide
separate accomodations for negroes.
Segregation of whites and blacks
may be effected by compartments
within a coach.
I). the field of political campaigns,
costs will rise for residents of large
counties who aspire to become a reo
resentative or senator. County ex
ecutive committees may charge a
candidate up to $50. instead of a $1
maximum, to place hla name on
the ballot.
Stricter regulations also will ap
ply to political advertising, for
signatures of persons or parties
authorizing its publics tons must be
attached.
Devastating wind and dust storms
ir. the Texas Panhandle last spring
will make their mark in statute
books.
County-wide wind erosion con
servation districts may be created
f< r anti-dust storm work. Proper
ties aided may be assessed prorate
costs, while 1935 and 1936 state
property taxes will be remitted in
Dallam, Hartley. Oldham. Deaf
Smith. Sherman and Moore coun
ties. One-half of the taxes will be
released for the work In Lipscomb,
Hansford and Ochiltree counties.
To facilitate condemnation of
land for highway purposes, the
state highway commission will have
authority to institute such suits. By
the act the commission will hold an
upper hand over county commis
sioners who, dissatisfied with a loca
tion. refuse to assist In obtaining a
right-of-way."
COMPROMISE
TALKED OVER
Wheeler It Non-Committal
0?#r Chance* To
Settle Utility
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. (*V-Non
committal on definite chance* tor
a compromise, Senator Wheeler
(D-Mont) called senate conferees
together Monday to decide their
future course of action on the utili
ties bill now deadlocked In confer
ence with the house.
The general expectation was that
some form of compromise would be
discussed. Wheeler, who already
has Indicated some concessions by
administration forces might be pos
sible, fished over the week-end with
President Roosevelt on the yacht
Sequla.
One Important point to be de
cided at Monday’s meeting of the
senate conferees was whether they
would exclude Ben Cohen, admin
istration attorney who helped draft
the measure, from the conferences
with the house members. Three
out of five of the house men have
refused to confer so long as Cohen
was present.
When the bill was first before the
senate, Wheeler spoke of a possible
compromise along the lines of in
creasing the number of holding
companies permitted In a single
system. Whether the president
would approve of such a change
remains to be seen.
Lobby lnvetsigators, who have
been delving Into the fight that
preceded congressional voting on
the utilities bill, are preparing to
continue their inquiries Tuesday,
with the senate committee seeking
evidence about a “whispering cam
paign’* against the president.
The house committee, its special
counsel said, will recall Bernard B.
Robinson of Chicago fof further
questioning. He was one of those
working against passage of thl
utilities measure.
