TBRRELX. M10 ANT NO AFFRONT.
"I intended no affront to the commit- j
tee named to Investigate poker playing )
rumors. Reports by committees are ad-
visory only, as everyone known. Just a
few minutes ago this House killed a hill 1
that had been unanimously and favor- !
ably reported. Committee report® are j
not binding on any member of this body. \
"I do not criticise the Attorney Gen- j
eral's Department and any opinion he j
may write will be followed here, no
matter what my opinion of the point
involved may be. "
Representative Allison wa.s called on to •
substantiate the statement of the Speak-
er that there had been no written opin- ]
ion on the authority of the committee.
Mr. Allison said there was no difference
of opinion between those members of the
committee who had discussed the matter
with an attache of the Attorney Gener-
al's Department and that man. Tie said
the assistant was a member of the com- ;
mittee that had the Woilers and Gray .
" And two members of the highest court j
of the State declared his opinion at that j
time was not right,'* retorted Speaker
Terrell. . 1
The Speaker said he had named the 1
poker committee just after the House
ordered it, and that he had been of the
opinion then one of the men named had
voted differently. He had learned of his :
error later and bad agreed to name two J
more members satisfactory to Chairman j
fefeury. ,.
This brought Mr. Henry to his feet. He
kaJd he had asked the Speaker to ap-
point Mr. Levelling and Mr. Allison. The
Speaker declared he would name Allison
and McNeal, but would not name Lewell-
tug. "1 then told him that if he would
not appoint Mr. Levelling, Judge McNeal
arould be satisfactory."
"That's the ezaat truth," said the
Speaker, who concluded his remarks by
Erging the House to "waste no more time
j discussing matters like this."
This closed the. incident aud the House
Jrent to work with a rush.
WILLACY'S BIG HILL.
Senator John G. Willacy offered in tbe
enate this afternoon a bill that, it must
e conceded, bids fair to be one of t lie
iost important and far-rea/'hing ueas-
iurea ever offered iu the Legislature since
the <Ja>a of James S. Hogg. If this bill
passes every muster it will have to face,
the Railroad Commission will be consti-
tuted a board of arbitration, clothed with
Authority to arbitrate between railroad
imploycs and railroad companies and with
fcower to punish.
Senator Willacy wouhl have the State
assert with tbe authority of a statute its
right to take Into consideration every mat-
ter that may enter into the making of
kites Section 2 of the bill reads:
"It ta hereby declared that the people
pf this State have the right to transporta-
tion either of themselves or their com-
modities, over the railroads of this State
Engaged in intrastate commerce, at rea-
sonable cost and that each and every ele-
ment of expense entering into such cost
>f transportation is subject to regulation,
restriction, aupervision aud control by the
ktate."
That is an Idea never before promulgated
formally in the Texas Legislature. It is
a far-flung outpost in the discussion of
fuch matters, but Senator Willacy is go-
ng to do his utmost to have the main
|rny move up to where the vanguard
{ramps are today. It is an idea to which
tie has given deep research and profound
thonght. As a piece of proposed con-
atructive legislation, there is hardly any-
thing before the lawmakers to compare
With it.
He holds, in brief, that the public is
more interested in strikes than are either
railroad employes or railroad general
managers, and that the public shall be
tousn I ted, Railroad Commissioners repre-
lentlng the public, before any move iff
made by either of the parties named. The
commission may hurt employes by keep-
ing them from employmeut one year.
The board may punish a refractory rail-
road corporation by procqe&sg to annul
its charter
Nobody knows yet how either the rail-
road managements or the yuaokesmnu of
the employes' organization##-HI view it.
Senatof Willacy doesn't - it ia a mat-
ter, he says, in which the public is most
concerned and be is going to Interest the
general public rather than the railroad
managers or their employes. It is sure
to attract wide attention.
COMPROMISE ON ALAMO.
Despairing of getting any legislation
concerning the Alamo enacted so far as
nending bills are concerned. Senators
Warren and Nugent have prepared a com-
promise measure they will offer as a sub-
stitute when the regular Colquitt bill
comes up for consideration in the Senate.
It provides, in brief, for tbe control of the
pftsiorie property in San Antonio by a
commission to consist of the Governor,
the Attorney i?*n«ral, the Superintendent
of Public Buildings and Grounds and two
ladies to be selected, one from the Daugh-
ters of the Republic, and the other from
EteZavala Chapter of that organization.
One need go no further in describing
It, It Is hoped it will meet with the aft'
proval of all concerned, though it is

known in advance such hope is practically
futile. Senators Warren, who hails from
the Governor's home town, and Nugent,
discussed the Alamo with the Governor
yesterday. The bill they have drawn is
believed to reflect the extent to which the
Governor is willing to yield—and all the
exteut.
Knemirs of Senator McNealus' antipol-
lution bill, aimed to prevent any Indi-
vidual or corporation, private or munici-
pal, from rendering unfit and unhealthy
the waters of Texas streams, were laugh-
ing today because somebody had the
measure sent back to committee yesterday
afternoon. The mover of the motion to
recommit simply called tbe bill by num-
ber. The Dallas County members, spon-
sors for the measure, did not hear it, or
did not reeoguize it, aud the design was
carried out.
If there is a piece of wholesome legis-
lation proposed here, this bill is it. A
dozen Slates of the American Union and
{►radically every civilised land on the other
lemlsphere have more stringent regula-
tions than the McNealus bill offers. It is
fating bitterly fought by Fort AVorth and
Mayor Davis of that city is d#bg his ut-
most to bring about the defeat of the
measure Dallas is Just as eagerly inter-
ested in its favor. On the surface, it
seems like a Dallas-Fort Worth fight.
P»ut every Texan ought to feel Interested
and Senators and Representatives frfTTTT
other districts than those named should
feel as. keenly the obligation Imposed as
do lawmakers from the North Texas cities.
With the growth of Texas cities, the
State must make up its mind in one of
two directions—either to allow streams to
be rendered unfit for use of any sort., un
less it be as a fertilizer, or to enact laws
that will make practices of today out of
datA
Powerful influences are at work against
It and they make its fate uncertain. It
often requires years of education and ef-
fort to get a matter that everybody wants
but nobody is paid to advocate. And
equally so. a decade is sometimes needed
to undo what some Legislature may have
done in two days.
ARGUE FIRE RATING LAW
House Committee on Insurance Holds
Public Hearing.
8taff Special to The Express.
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 6.—All day today
the Committee on Insurance in the House
held a public healing for those Interested
in the proposed bills to repeal the fire-
rating1 law enacted by the Thirty-second
Legislature. People from all over the
State -came to argue for a bill that will
do away with the existing law, but cham-
pions of the Ifcw were present and ar-
gued against the passage of such a bill.
A delegation from San Marcos ap-
peared before the committee in favor of
the proposed legislation. The argument
of those who wish the law repea.ed is
that it permits little competition and
makes for higher rates of insurance.
Champions of the rating law assert that
if the requirements of the fire-rating
laws are observed it will mean lower rates
for ail of the, towns and cities In Texas.
The committee will hold another open
meeting tomorrow and will probably
make some decision in regard to the
bills now before it.
Hudspeth's Bill Protested.
Pr>ecial Telegram to The Express.
BALLINGKR, Feb. 6.—The bill pending
in the Legislature, introduced by Claude
Hudspeth, changing the boundaries of the
Sixteenth Congressional District,, is meet-
ing with considerable protest in this
county. Petitions are being circulated and
numerously signed asking Representative
Griggs and Senator Conner of this dis-
trict to vote against the bill. The change
would cut Mitchell County out of the Six
teenth district and throw Congressman
Smith in Congressman Stephens' district,
and a new Congressman would have to
be elected for the Sixteenth district. The
people of this county do not want, to swap
Congressman Smith for a dark horse.
To Work on Redistricting Bill.

AUSTIN, Tex., leb. 6.—A subcommit-
tee of the House Committee on Congres-
sional Redistricting will meet tomorrow
morning and listen to proposed redlstriet
lng of the Congressional Districts in this
State. The committee will be excused
from the session of the House and are to
devote all of the day to working out a
bill.

AUSTIN, Tex.. Feb. 6.- Only members
of a committee present when final action
is taken on a bill are entitled to have
their names signed to the report ou such
bill, wus the ruling of the President of
the Senate today when the question was
raised In connection wtlh the majority and
mluority reports on the Cotton Belt con-
solidation measure. When the bill was
agreed upon Weduesday the majority re-
port was signed by five members of the
Committee on internal Improvements,
while the minority report was signed by
three members. A written proxy from
Senator 'McGregor was not recognized.
DISCISSION IS CREATED.
When the committee reported to the
Senate the names of Senators Taylor, Real,
Co well, Hudspeth and lvauffman were
signed to the minority report, two mem-
bers signing who were not present when
final action was taken. Senator Townsend
at once raised the point that committee
members not present should not be per-
mitted to sign the report aud called at-
tention to the fact that Senator McGreg-
or's proxy was not permitted to vote with
the majority. The discussion was gen-
eral and heated and only ended with the
ruling of the chair, which clearly defines
action in committee rooms In future.
Senate bill No. 2W, creating the Clifton
Independent School District in Bosque
County, was passed under suspension oi
the rules. Senate bill No. 233, creating
the Slatou Independent School District in
Lubbock County, was advanced to third
reading.
By resolution Senator Westbrook sought
to have the Senate reciprocate through
the State Library with the Legislatures
of other States by an interchange of bi
and copies of the Journal. The resolu-
tion, which asked that forty copies or
each bill Introduced and ten copies of
the Journal daily be furnished the State
Library to be furnished libraries of other
States on application, was referred.
Among the petitions and memorials pre-
sented to the Senate was one from the
Pastors' Cnion of Marshall, asking for the
passage of a bill prohibiting Sunday base-
ball. There was also read a numerously
signed communication from Kennard com-
mending the attitude of Senator Town send
on the Cotton Belt consolidation meas-
ures.
By resolution introduced by Senator
Carter the privileges of the floor were ex-
tended to former Senator B. B. Sturgeon
of Lamar, who addressed the Senate
briefly.
The Committee on Constitutional Amend-
ments today made a favorable report on
House Joint resolution No. 5, ratifying
the prot osed amendment to the Constitu-
tion of the United States which provides
for the election of United States Senators
by direct vote.
BILL8 ARB SIGNED.
Lieutenant Governor Mayes this morn-
ing affixed his signature to the follow-
ing bills and resolutions that have finally
passed both Houses:
House concurrent resolution No. 2, in-
dorsing the Sheppard-Kenyon bill now
pending in the United States Senate.
Senate concurrent resolution No. «, per-
mitting Judge Bell of the Thirty-second
Judicial District, to leave the State on
important business.
Senate concurrent resolution No. 5, pro-
viding for tbe appointment of a commit-
tee of three of the Senate aud five of the
House to visit the coastal waters and re-
port on the fish and oyster industry.
House bill No. 225, appropriating $100,-
000 for the penitentiary system.
House bill No. 2P, authorizing the Mis-
souri, Kansas & Texas Railroad to ac-
quire and operate certain other lines of
railroads.
The Senate by unanimous vote adopted
House concurrent resolution No. 10, in-
dorsing T. B. Reese, reading clerk of the
House, for the position of reading clerk
of the Sixty-third Congress.
Governor Colquitt's special message on
education was laid before the Senate and
read at 11 o'clock this forenoon.
LIQUOR BILL IS BURIED.
As antis and the pros clashed over the
Watson bill this arternon, and after ,i
turbulent discussion of an hour the latter,
under the leadership of Senator Vaughan,
seemed to have all the best of the
skirmish. The Watson bill provides for
penalizing minors and students for en-
tering saloons as well as for purchasing
intoxicating liquor. The present law
penalizes saloon keepers for selling to
minors and students.
When consideration of the measure was
taken up on the floor for the second
time, Senator Vaughan. In the midst of
several proposed amendments, general
debate and pointed questions, offered an
amendment raising the age limit of those
affected by the provisions of the bill
to 60 instead of 21 years. He contended
that if a boy was to be penalized for
entering a saloon his elders should like-
wise be penalized for a similar practice.
Senator McGregor made a stirring
speech in which he reiterated his op-
position to the bill because he was op-
posed to penalizing boys. However, he
favored punishing students who patron-
ize saloons, no matter what the age of
»ueh students may be.
For the purpose of unostentatious In-
terment Senator Vaughan moved to re-
commit the bill, together with all amend-
ments. Senator Watson's motion to table
the motion of the Senator from Bowie
was lost on roll call, 9 to 13. The motion
to recommit was then carried, the line-
up being exactly the -same on both
propositions. Senator Watson made a
hard fight to save his measure.
SEEKS PRISON REFORM.
Senator Townsend is seeking a species
of prison reforms in a Joint resolution
introduced this afternoon providing for
an amendment to the Constitution creat-
ing the office of prison commissioners
and making the term of office of mem-
bers of the Board of Prison Commis-
sioners six years. The selection of the
members of the board is made elective,
one to be chosen every two years.
When Senator Vaughan called up Sen-
ate Joint resolution No. 2, providing for
sweeping changes In the judicial system
of the State, abolishing the Courts of
Criminal and Civil Appeals and fixing
the membership of the Supreme Court at
fifteen years, there was some objection
on the part of Senators Aslin. Nugent
and Gibson. They did not believe the
members had sufficiently informed them-
selves to vote intelligently on so im-
portant a propositon and therefore wked
that consideration be postponed Tn^
resolution is made the special order for
nrxt Tuesday morning.
Senate bill No. 1?. creating a special
District Court for Grayson County, wa»
made the special order for Monday
morning.
Senate bill No. 182 authorizing Umar
County or any subdivision thereof to
Issue bonds by a two-thirds vote for
read purposes, was passed under a sus-
pension of the rules.
Senate bill No. 51, by Carter and Col-
lins. prohibiting the placing of a false
consideration In a deed or other written
instrument for the purpose of fraud, was
passed to engrossment Just before ad-
journment for the day, but not until
after it had been most thoroughly de
bated and attacked from various angels.
Senator Nugent denounced the hill as
dangerous and iniquitous and detrimental
to the Interests of the development or
the State. Senator Carter contended that
no honest man would be endangered by
the provisions of the bill and he believed
It would, if enacted. b# one of the best
laws on the statute books. Senator
Brelsford favored the measure and dis-
cussed the difference between "value"
and "consideration" as stated in a deed.
Iterator Collins said the bill did not
appeal to his judgment. Although it pur-
ported to prevent fraud, he was con-

Stnff Special to The Express.
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 6.—In the minds of
many members of the Legislature there
Is rising the fear that there will be no
legislation concerning the disposition of
the Alamo at this session. Yesterday the
Senate got a report from Its Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds favor- j
lng the Governor's Alamo bill—that cus-
tody of the structure be placed in control
of the Superintendent of Public Buildings
j and Grounds. Today the House com-
j mittee to whom had been submit-
i ted the TlllotsonsJordan bill, iden-
I tical with that reported favorably In
the Senate, reported unfavorably, because
; of the fact a-bill giving control of the
| property to the Daughters of the Repub-
lic had been reported favorably.
These actions, so far as committees are
concerned, puts the two branches of the
J legislature squarely at sixes and sevens.
Of course, a committee report does not
necessarily mean the whole body will sup-
port it or that even a majority will stand
by such action. But, usually, such a re-
port is indicative. With the Senate pass-
ing one bill and the House another, there
can, obviously, be nothing final without
a. compromise or an agreement.
Representative Burmeister and others
will see to it that there is a minority re-
port in the House and, before the body as
a whole, it is likely one of the warmest
contests of the session will be waged. As
it. has from the start, the Alamo Is arous-
ing a species of excitement uot relished
by any of the members.
Judge A. W'. Houston, Judge .T. E. Webb
and Frank C. Davis are prominent San
Antonians here in the interest of the
measure giving control of the Alamo to
the Daughters of the Republic.

The first talk of night sessions was
heard late today. Senator Watson niovad

stitute motion fixing the time 8 o clock
tonight. He explained that the Senate
was far behind with Its work: that more
than twenty days of the session had
gone by. and that not more than halt a
dozen measures, outside of a few local
bills, had been passed.
Bv the vote of 17 to 10 on roll call,
the Senate decided it did not want nignt
sessions for a while yet.

AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 6.—Senators War-

think will prove to be a solution of tho
Alamo problem. They havu perfected a
measure which will he offered on tlie
floor of the Senate as a substitute for
both pending bills—one reported by the
majority and the other by the minority
of tho Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds. Its authors believe all
factions will be Jible to harmonize, on
the bill, the provisions of which aro:
"Article 6394. The part of the Alamo
Mission property purchased by the State
adjoining the building known as toe
Alamo Church or Chapel, together witn
the Alamo Church or Chapel, shall he

shall be a member of the patriotic or-
ganization known as tfio Daughters of

together wlih the said three other mem-
bers hereinbefore provided for shall con-
stitute said Alamo Commission. The
term of office of the two lady members
of said commission shall be two years,

and that thereafter one lady member
shall be chosen each year.
"Said Alamo Mission and church or
chapel property now owned by the Stato
shall be restored, and thereafter pre-
served, as nearly as it may be possible
to do so to its condition and appearance
at the time of the massacre of the
Texans in what is known as the Battle
of tho Alamo.
"The work of restoring and preserving
said property shall be under the imme-
diate direction, management, super-
