Electrical Workers Meeting.
About one-half of the entire mem-
bership of Local No. 527 of the Electri-
cal Workers was present at the meeting
last night and the business of the
evening was carried out in a rapid
manner.
Only matters of minor importance
came up for discussion and disposi-
tion and the boys assembled got rid
of them in double quick time. Matters
of election was the principal thoughts
of those assembled and an early ad-
journment was taken to enable the
members to take part in the different
rallies.

was her son, Peter. A short lime later
she left the house to visit a neighbor
leaving the boy in the room. On each
side of the altar was a burning candle,
and it is supposed the boy started the
blaze while playing with them.
Half an hour later the woman start-
ed to return home and saw that the
building was in flames. Running
toward the house she could see her
child, enveloped in flames, screaming
from a front window. Just as Mrs.
Ross reached the house a squad of
volunteer firemen arrived. They caught
her as she was about to rush into the
flames.

The windup of the local campaign took
place last evening in two big rallies held
by candidates for legislative position
number 2. Marsene Johnson held forth
in the grand opera house, while Mr.
E. Kauffman spoke in the open on Ball
school campus. Preceding the speaking
the brass bands of the rival candidates
entertained the crowd on Mariret
streets with a
a number of popular airs
played to the great delectation of the
large gathering attracted by the' battle
of harmony. |
At Ball school square Mr. Charles P.
MacGill presided, introducing Mr. Kauff-
man and the speakers who followed him.
The first speaker took' up bis platform
and restated his position op numerous
questions likely to come before a mem.
ber of the 31st -egislature. At the con-
clusion of his address Messrs. D. E.
Maplnerney, Clay S. Briggs and Cary
G. Wilkinson, candidates for county of-
fices, made brief addresses. Mr. Dan W.
Phillips closed the meeting in a humor-
ous talk, advocating the candidacy of
Mr. Kauffman.
At the opera house the speaking was
opened by Judge Lewis Fisher, who spoke
in favor—cf Mr. Johnson, outlining his
reasons for supporting him, and explain-
ing that tnere is notmng in the talk
that Mr. Johnson is trying to injure or
oppose the commission government in
this city.
Judge Fisher was followed by Mr. John
C. Walker, who spoke at some length
on behali of Mr. Johnson and defended
him against some of the reports and talk
that ne said had been circulated.

on behalf of his own candidacy, outlining
the points of his platform and what bills
he will introduce Into the legislature.

Experiments made by the railroads and
other institutions having demonstrated
that Johnson grass and weeds of all
kinds can be exterminated by a chemical
preparation or liquid, - a car has been
specially constructed for this work. The
car, said to be the first of its kind, is
equipped witn a tank holding 3000 gallons
of the liquid, which is distriouted be-
tween and on each side of the tracks by
a sprinkler operated similar to the street
watering carts. The process heretofore
has been to take the liquid from barrels
and sprinkle it with sprinklers
the ground.
The car can be attached to a freight
• ‘train or other train for that, matter or
hauled by a locomotive. Three valves on
the rear end of the car control three
sprinklers beneath the car, which when
opened togemer a.stributes the weed-
killing fluid over an area covering 34 feet
wide. One valve on each siae pf the
car sprinkles either side of the right of
way, while the valve in the middle of the
car deluges the space between the rails.
The pressure can be regulated to suit
Conditions and each of the valves can be
operated independepfiy. Only one man
is required to operate the car, as all
he has to do is to turn on and shut off
. the valves as the occasion requires.
The car, which was loaded last night
with the fluid, will start out today on its
initial trip and will be used by the rail-
roads entering Galveston. One tank ot
me fluid is said to be sufficient to sprin-
kle about twelve miles of right of way
and can be distributed while the train is
running fifteen miles an hour. Railroad
statistics say that the Johnson grass
covers 12,609.13 miles of railroad in Texas
and 55S6.70 miles of road in Ok-ahoma.
The chemical preparation is the inven-
tion or discovery of a Galveston man.
The present process for destroying the
grass and weeds along the railroads’
rigiht of way cost on an average $61 a mile
and has to be cleanec. on an average of
once a montn. But by this method ths
right -of way is cleaned only for a time,
for the grass ana wepds never stop grow-
ing.

The’cotton receipts so far this month
have broken all reCords in the his-
tory of Texas for July. Up to date the
receipts are 1,300 bales and in sight
for today and tomorrow’s receipts
about 800 bales, making oyer 2,000
bales up to July 27, with every pros-
pect that the receipts for the month
will aggregate about 3,000 bales.
This is an unprecedented record for
July, and can be appreciated when it
is known that never before has the
cotton receipts for July exceeded thir-
ty bales but once, and this was twen-
ty-one years ago.
shipment of 315 bales was received at
Gadveston. This was an extraordinary
occurrence. The following year the re-
ceipts dropped to two or three bales,
and then varied from year to year,
with twenty-eight bales as the next
highest record for July until this year.
It is interesting to note that all this
new cotton is coming from southwest
Texas, the Brownsville country and
points along the- St;. Louis Brownsville
and Mexico road. This section of the
country has only been developed with-
in the last two years, or properly
speaking is now being developed, and
within a few years will make July a
big month for early cotton. The cli-
mate is suitable for early cotton ma-
turity, and as there are thousands upon
thousands of acres to be cultivated it
is safe to presume that this section is
destined for wonderful development as
cotton growing territory as well as
a great place for producing all kinds
of vegetables, for which it now holds
a few records.
Of course the advent of rail trans-
portation into the Brownsville country
had much to do with the development
of that section. As it is rapidly set-
tling up with farms and agricultural
people, it is safe to presume that
Texas will be producing many thou-
sands of bales of cotton early in July
within a very few years.
Something Doing With the Hod

Bettisons yesterday was the most
popular place within fifty miles of
Galveston, for in the city it was hot
and out on the aier it was nice and

doing all of the time in the way of
fishing.

Dear Public:
We have more good news for you.
You will remember that when The
Majestic changed hands some weeks
ago, we promised to give you the best

that promise is being fulfilled to the
letter. The first step in that direc-
tion was to double the show, or run
two films instead of one as the
others do.
And now we are able to announce
other betterment, and that is, we
will never run a repeater. We have
arranged our service so that we get
no repeaters to disgust you, and we <
the only ones in Galveston who can
do this.
While we run two films every day,
we change one daily,, the other being
continued from the previous day.
Today we are showing three beauti-
ful pictures, “Over the Hills to the

Saranac Inn., N. Y., July 25.—Gov.
Charles E. Hughes will accept a re-
nomination of the Republican party of
the state if it desires him to again be
its candidate. In a. statement made
public last night, the governor so de-
clared himself and defines the rea-
sons which he says are responsible for
the action.''just taken. The statement
is intended as a reply to the many in-
quiries received by the governor re-
garding his attitude toward a renomi-
nation. He says the personal reasons
which prompted him to say privately
some time ago that he did not desire a
renomination are not controlling, and
that if ‘‘renominated I ought to ac-
cept.”
The governor’s statement follows::
“I have received so many inquiries
as to my attitude toward a renomina-
tion that I have decided to make the
following statement:
“Some time ago I said privately that
I did not desire a renomination, and
that I felt that I could not undertake
to serve a second term. This, hoW-
ever, was for reasons entirely personal.
Upon further reflection I am convinced
that I have no right to regard these
reasons as controlling, and that if re-
nominated I ought to accept.
“But it is my desire that the will of
the party to which I belong should be
freely expressed, and that it should
take such action as shall be most
closely in accord with public senti-
ment. I believe that the people thor-
oughly like the principles which I
sought to apply in my adminis-
tration, and if they so desire I shall
regard it as a privilege to continue in
office another term.
“CHARLES E. HUGHES.
“Saranac Inn, July 24. ’
Outside the statement, the governor
declined to make any further comment
for quotation, but made it clean that
he regards the policies he has pursued
since he assumed office on Jan 1, 1907,
as a cause which should be continued.
As he is sponsor for them, many of
the governor’s friends have expressed
the opinion in letters to him that they
can be carried out better if he is
elected for another term.
It is shown that the governor feels
that he believes he has fulfilled his
promises made in his telegram to the
Republican state convention after his
nomination, and in his campaign
speeches that his administration would
be free from so-called bossism, and
not conducted for any private inter-
ests.
In making the announcement the
governor felt that it was due those in-
terested in the coming Republican
state convention that he should make
known at this time his attitude
garding his renomination.

I
Can Proceed in Standard Case Only as
Defeated Litigant.
By Associated Press.
New York, July 25.—Asked if he
cared to amplify the statement he made I
regarding President Roosevelt’s order-
ing a new trial of the Standard oil case,
Judge Grosscup, who was one of the
justices rendering the decision, said: |
“No I don’t wish tq seem to take the I
attitude of contention with the presi- I
dent.”
In discussing the president’s power in I
the matter of ordering a new trial, the |
judge remarked that they are simply ,
those of any defeated litigant, no more,
no less.
“As the representative of the govern-
ment,” continued Judge Grosscup, “the
executive can ask for a reconsideration
of the case which has just been decided
adversely to the government by the
court of appeals which rendered the de-
cision. But no demand can be made as
a matter of right under such circum-
stances.
Mr. Charles Milon de Peillon, the new-
i ly appointed French vice consul for the
port of Galveston, reached here this
i morning on the Mallory line steamer
Nueces, accompanied by his wife and
daughter. The consul crossed the At-
lantic from Naples, _.aly, his last post,
and from New York sailed for Galveston
one week ago today.
Upon arrival today Mr. de Peillon
showed evidence of great embarrassment
■over articles regarding his coming te
this country as ambassador of the French
government published in New York, pa-
pers and in Galveston. U’ne stories were
so misleading in tae .face of the facts
that Mr. B. Adoue, acting vice consul of
France, toon up the matter with a view
of setting the new consul in the right
ligiht before the American people with
whom he expects to associate.
“The reports regarding. Mr. De Peil-
lon’s arrival in New York,’’ said Mr,
Adoue, “were. the creation of a news-
paper reporter who sees in every gentle-
man of France a titled person traveling
witn a shiplpaa of trunks. The state-
ment was made that the new consul had
75 trunks and that it. was necessarj
to send up five pieces of his baggage to
the hotel where he and his family spent
onp night.
“The trut-. is Mr. De Peillon only
brought three trunks and a basket with
him, and these pieces of baggage con-
tained the personal effects of the family.
In addition to the trunks, several pieces
of furniture and household goods were
brought 'along and the value placed upon
same was but 5000 francs ($1000).”
The newspaper stories complained of
do the consul the injustice to state that
in 75 trunks he had packed away suffi-
cient clothing for himself and family for
years, and that it would not be neces-
sary co depend upon the barbarious tail-
ors of this country. Numerous other re-
flections were east which were decidedly
discourteous to an honorable gentleman
coming to a comparatively strange land.
A Tribune representative was intro-
duced to Mr. De Peillon by Acting Con-
sul Adoue and the Frenchman expressed
considerable interest in Galveston. “I
am delighted to be among you.” said the
consul, “and to show tne absurdity of
the statements made to the effect that
my pilgrimage to Galveston was not a
pleasant one, x selected Galveston in.
preference to a post in England.”
Mr. De Peillon is a modest gentleman
of about 50 years. For twenty-three
years he has served his country as con-
sul in Italy, his last post being Naples.
Mme De Peillon and daughter are ac-
complished women and it is a pleasure
>to meet mem. The wife is or English
parentage and the daughter was borii
and rearea in Italy. When asked regard-
ing her nationality, she replied with a
smile that she could nor say.
