Dalas, Texas, May 16.—Address- the general conclusions Just stated.
Ing the Welfare Commission in ses-
sion In this city yesterday, Judge
Robert S. Lovett of New York, one
of the foremost railroad builders In
the country, severely criticised the
Texas laws relating to railroads.
Among other things. Judge lAivett
stated that it was Impossible to fin-
ance a railroad in Texas under the
existing laws, and that Independent
rallyoads In the state would sooner
or la’far be foreced Into the hands of
a receiver. He gave as his opinion
that the stock and bond law should
be so amended as to allow promoters
of new railroads to sell bonds for
the original cost of construction and
suggested an amendment to allow
railroads or any other corporation to
sell all the bonds they could at 100
cents on the dollar. He also sug-
gested an amendment to the person-
al Injury law fixing a maximum fee
of the plaintiff's lawyer at $500, for
the mutual protection of the rail-
road companies and the persons
bringing suit for Injuries received.
“We have absolutely no plans for
the development of railroads In
Texas,” said Judge Lovett In the'
bourse of his remarks, “with the ex-!
ception of a short line from Hearne;
to Giddings. We make only such
improvements as are necessary be-
cause we do not get any returns on
the money.
Swatters made of a small square of screen
wire cost little. Slight exercise will kill ’em
