failed, as will be remembered, Senator
Glasscock proposes to increase the mem-

in view he has introduced a joint resolu-
tion in the senate submitting a constitu-
tional amendment providing for an in-
crease in the number of senators from 31
to 51 and the number in the house from
133 to 150.
INVESTIGATION CONTINUES.
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Jan. 25.—It is now generally;
conceded that a battle royal is on between
the forces centering around Senator Bailey
on the one side and the arrayed opposition
on the other.
It is now pretty well assured that the
investigation will continue to the end,
Senator Bailey’s prestige demands it,' for
such specific charges as have beeen mado
by Representative Cocke cannot go unan-
swered or unfought. The state has been
the only party heretofore said to have

BILL BUMPED
)
PRINTING TRUST
IS BOMBARDED
CHAIRMAN WALTON PETEET
DOWN TO WORK.
Charged With Favoring
Electric Trust.
Chairman Peteet of Labor Legis-
lative Board Produces Interest-
ing Facts and Figures.
Special to The Tribune,
Austin, Tex., Jan. 25.—The bill giving
right of eminent domain to interurban and
street railways ran into a snag in the
senate today. The bill is intended to aid
the company proposing to build between
Houston and Galveston. Senator Senter
and others claim that the electric railway
trust is beginning to monopolize business
in Texas.
and require the heads of any of the de-
partments to dispense with the services
of any number of employes in any of
the said departments when directed to do
so by the board. The measure carries
an appropriation of $10,000 for the purpose
of defraying the expenses of the expert
accountant and other incidental expenses.
It took the senate one hour and thirty
minutes yesterday to confirm the appoint-
ments sent up by the governor the day be-
fore, being the boards of trustees of the
various educational and eleomosynary in-
stitutions of the state. There appeared
to be a hitch somewhere in the proceed-
ings, although none of the senators would
discuss the matter. It is rumored that
there was a slight hitch over the confir-
mation of some of the appointees named
on the board of regents of the University
of Texas.
Now that the proposition to increase the
salaries of the members of the legislature,
through a constitutional amendment, has
Galleries of the House Comparatively De-
serted-Local Measures Considered.
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Jan. 25.—After playing to
crowded galleries for the past week, the
members of the house had hard work to
fix their minds on the business of the day
yesterday, missing the stimulus of excite-
ment, the buzz of many voices and the
knowledge that the eyes of a multitude of
people were upon them. The galleries of
the house at no time yesterday contained
over a score of spectators, in marked con-
trast to the past ten days, when standing
room has been at, a premium.
Attention was given mostly to local
measures, several road bills being ad-
vanced on the calendar, and nothing ap-
peared to awaken the members from the
state of semi-indolence which seemed to
pervade the entire house.
Interest was centered on the floor above,
where, in the court room of the criminal
court of appeals, the investigating com-
mittees of the senate and house were at
work. It is well for the work of the ses-
sion that the investigating committees
have decided to exclude from the hearing
all . but those who have business there
(which includes the newspaper men,
through whom publicity will be given to
the proceedings), else it would be difficult
to get a quorum of the senate or house
while the investigation was going on, and
more than difficult to secure a quorum
of any committees for the consideration
of pending measures.
Representatives Cable, Hamilton and
Braly have introduced a bill in the house
providing for the creation of a board of
state accounting to be composed of the
governor, secretary of state and the chair-
man of the railroad commission. The
purpose of this commission or board will
be to make a thorough and complete in-
vestigation and addit by an expert ac-
countant of such firms of accounts of the
books, papers, accounts and methods of
accounting, bookkeeping and' transacting
business prevailing in the departments of
the state treasurer, comptroller, general
land office and such other departments
as the board shall deem advisable. The
board shall be authorized to adopt and pre-
scribe such changes in any of the methods
or systems employed in any of the depart-
ments as they shall deem advisable. An
important provision of the proposed bill
is that it shall have the authority to direct
Of Labor Legislative Board Exposes Meth-
ods of Printing Trust.
Austin, Tex., Jan. 25.—Walton Peteet,
chairman of the labor legislative board,
addressed the house committee on coun-
ties in behalf of Kennedy’s bill requiring
the purchase of printing supplies by coun-
ties of the state from the lowest and best
bidder. He charged the existence of a
printing trust in Texas, exhibiting docu-
ments in support of his charge. He showed
what he claimed to be a secret price list
of the trust, dividing the counties and
cities into seven classes and charging
from $3.15 to $8.50 for identical supplies to
different counties. He also showed a state-
ment of profits on county orders ranging
from 100 to 1600 per cent, and likewise
produced a secret code for lithographic
supplies of the trust, and explained how
country newspapers were made victims of
the trust in “patent outsides.’’
Mr. Peteet’s address made a great im-
pression on the committee. i

Which would get the benefit of the low
carload rates, therefore he opposed it.
Chairman Mayfield of the commission
declared that if the railroads would give
the low carload rates it would encourage
Texas business. The commission took
the proposition under advisement.
The commission next took up the prop-
osition to cancel the classification rule,.
or to exempt lumber thereform. General
Freight Agent Hershey of the Santa Fe
contended thait the lumber interests di-
verted the cars and in many instances
used them for warehouses instead of ex-
pediting the shipment.
Sam Swinford of Houston, a prominent
lumberman of the state, declaied that
the lumbermen did not want any illegiti-
mate shipments of lumber. The trouble,
he declared, was the fact that the rail-
roads will not allow their cars to get off
their own lines.
Mr. Bartholomew declared that it was
a hard matter to determine the illegiti-
mate from the legitimate diversion of
cars. He declared that it had been
sho-wtn that 62 cars of lumber shipments
had been diverted.
Attorney Hardcastle of Fort Worth,
representing the lumbermen of North
Texas, made a most effective argument.
He declared that the various kinds of in-
dustries are ^flowed by the railroads to
stop three times in transit, while in the
case of lumber such is not the case. This
is due to the fact that lumber is not
perishable. He summed the situation by
saying that such misuse of cars by the
lumbermen was due to the failure of the
railroads to furnish sufficient cars to
move the freight. The railroads wanted
to charge a fee of $5, for reconsignment
charges, and Mr. Swinford declared that
this would be preferrable than not to get
the cars at all. This proposition was still
before this commission when it adjourned
until this morning.
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Jan. 25.—At the afternoon
session of the railroad commission yester-
day, the proposition of the railroad com-
mission to require the railroads of. the
state to run on schedule time, was con-
cluded.
The commission next took up the case
of the state of Texas ex rel the Lump-
kin Flour Mills vs. the Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe Railway company, for failure
to deliver loaded cars to connections, was
taken up and considered. After hearing
evidence on the subject the commission
took the proposition under advisement.
The proposition is for the state to sue
the company for penalties for failure to
deliver the cars as required by law.
The proposition to instruct the attorney
general to forfeit the charter of the
Timpson Northwestern railway was con-
sidered and taken under advisement, as
was also the question of division be-
tween Fort Worth and North Fort Worth
by the Gulf, Calorado & Santa Fe rail-
way.
The proposed carload rating on carpets
and carpeting was next taken up for
consideration. Nash P. Weil, traffic man-
ager for Sanger Bros, at Dallas, repre-
sented that firm. He said that under the
present rates a New York carpet house
has the advantage over Dallas. His
firm wanted to get lower rates so that
the carpet business could be built up.
They want to branch out in all points in
In answer to a question, Mr.
Weil declared that the proposed rates
would benefit the consumer; that at
present his firm could only get 88 miles
out of Dallas and be on an equal fooiting
with foreign dealers and therefore could
not compete with the outside firms. Mr.
Bartholomew, assistant general freight
agent of the International & Great
Northern railway, declared that there
would only be about three firms In Texas

Thaw himself took more interest in the
proceedings yesterday, and two addi-
tional jurors would have been secured
had it not been for his interference. A
talesman had proved accepted to the dis-
trict attorney and to Clifford W. Hart-
ridge, leading counsel for Thaw, when
there was a sudden gathering of heads
over the table at the head of which sat
Harry Thaw. The juror was about to
be sworn When this occurred and Mr.
Haitiidge stopped proceedings to hear
what Thaw had to say. When the
ference ended the prospective juror
challenged for cause. This proceeding
happed a second time during the day,
Thaw again objecting to a
who was acceptable to counsel.
Thaw seemed pleased with
work. As he entered the Tombs,
said to the keeper:
We got three in the last half hour
(meaning jurors) and they
too, I think.”
The district attorney kept up his ham-
mering. on the “unwritten law,” and a
possible deviation from the written law
governing the criminally insane. Yester-
day afternoon he added another feature
to his plan of examination, asking the
talesmen if they were capable of with-
standing appeals to their own emotions
and feelings and if they though they
could pass on the prisoner’s case coldly
and calmly according to the instructions
in the law they would receive from the
judge. This was taken as a sign of the
district attorney’s anticipation of the
promised dramatic appeal from Delphin
M. Delma of counsel for the defense.
