AUSTIN. Tex., April 11.—C. E. Mead,
Office Assistant Attorney General, left
tonight for Galveston on official business.
Ho declined to state the nature of his
mission, but it was ascertained that
among other things ho would investigate
the method of so-called warehouses In
that city where intoxicating liquors and
other goods ate stored and sold by drum-
mers. .
The owners of the goods aro refusing
to pay certain taxes in Texas on the
ground that the transactions through the
warehouse are interstate in character and
the State cannot touch them. If, in Mr.
Mead's opinion, it is not interstate busi-
ness tlte Attoiney General will take steps
to enforce the payment of taxes.
It is understood Mr. Mead will look
into the operation of the so-called social
clubs in Galveston; the reported sale of
liquor without Stale license and rumored
violations of the regulatory laws. At-
torney General Ughtioot acknowledged
Mr. Mead was to make an investigation
of matters outside of the first mentioned,
but declined to make them public tor
the reason that the purpose of the State
might bo defeated.

Jewelers' Chomists In New York Pro-
duce Crystals That Are Near-
diamonds.
NEW YORK. April U.-Maiden I.ane,
center of the wholesale jewelry trade of
the United States, is buzzitiK with news
of recent successful experiments of
cliemtst#»whn have been trying to pro-
duce an artificial diamond. Within a few
weeks, It i.s learned, these chemists have
succeeded In producing large-sized crys-
tals from carborundum, which are very
i close to the natural stone.
The crystals are as colorless and trans-
parent as the natural diamond, and have
greater lustre and refractive power. But
the crystals have one defect,' thut bars
tliem from use in Jewelry, although the
remedying of it may be near at hand.
They are to brittle they cannot be cut
and polished like natural diamonds. They
fly to pieces when they are put on the
grindstone.
A new field for the Jewelers' chemist
has also been found within the last few
months In the manufacture of artificial
coral Genuine coral has become so dear
the chemists began experimenting early
last fall to produce It artificially. It is
now announced their efforts have been
successful and the chemists' product Is
guaranteed to be not only of the identi-
cal color of the finest Japanese pink
coral but also to have the same weight,
feel" and temperature.

VIEWS OF EXECUTIVE OF OHIO
SET FORTH IN SPECIAL
MESSAGE.
- /
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 11.—Governor
Judson Harmon has donned war paint
and feathers in a political way with ref-
erence to those members of the Legisla-
ture who have shown a disinclination to
pay no heed to his recommendations on
reform laws he is eager to have the law-
maker.* adut>t.
Governor Harmon is particularly anx-
ious t<> have Democratic members get in
line with modern thought and action.
In a special message to the Senate, the
executive's views are clearly outimed as
follows: ...
The Senate: A deep sense of public
obligation leads me to urge the passage
of several measures, in adUition to those
heretofore recommended, which I fear
are becoming Imperiled with the close
of the session so near. These are:
"1. The election of delegates to the
constitutional convention by non-partisan
ballot. If we are to have a proper in-
strument which will meet the approval of
the people, every precaution snould be
taken to have the men who are to frame
it chosen on their individual merits as
patriotic citizens as well qualified for
the task. And 1 am convinced that as a
further assurance of this the nominations
should be by petition only, which an
amendment to the pending bill could
easily provide. The constitutional objec-
tions which have been raised to the
course proposed ore not sound. All tne
requirements of the Constitution will be
met by electing the delegates by ballot
and in the same districts us memhm o
the House of Representatives, ihe time
of election and form of ballot maj bo
fixed bv the general assembly. '
"2. The abolition of the party emblem
in purely municipal elections. There is
the direct need of improvement in the
government of our cities, and the gieat
parties by whose means the .State .ana
general government are conducted hS\e
no proper place in those of municipali-
ties The partv emblem in such elections
is an aid to tho ignorant and those who
corrupt voters, and no help to upright
and intelligent electors. And both par-
ties would be better off in their proper
function it' they were kept out of Puiely
municipal affairs, in which, as a matter
of fact, it is only their names that aie
used The general ideas and policies
whic h distinguish them from each other
do not apply at all to the subjects with
which municipalities deal.
"3 For reasons already stated, city
councils ought to be composed of a less
number of members, a large Pa't ot
whom should be elected at large. The
smaller the district from which members
are chosen the greater the risk of im-
proper or unwise selection, the narrow et
their views and the greater the likeli-
hood that the common interests of the en-
tire city will not recelve~the attention.
"4. The liomlnalon by State-wide pri-
mary elections of all who are
way to act for or represent the State
officially or politically, and the determi-
nation by such elections of the choice
of the State for Senators of the United
States. Until provision shall be made
bv amendment to the national C0Jnst't^-
tion, this result can be secured by tne
method provided in the bill now pending.
Such amendment is still uncertain, and
years may bo required for its adoption
bv the States, even if It be proposed at
this session of Congress. These measures
are in line with the best thought of the
country, which is devoting itself with in-
creasing earnestness to the betterment
of conditions in order that government
by the people shall bear its full fruitage
of benefits and thereby insure Its per-
petuity. 1 am certain the people of the
State generally, without regard to party
or other divisions, earnestly desire th«j
passage of these measures and will not
be content to wait two years for them.

TO RAISE HOES

ing for the crowd of visitors of the Car-
nival. that convention delegates may
have causa to return to this city with
future gatherings, arose at a meeting of
the directors of the Chamber of Com-
merce yesterday afternoon. San Antonio's
peerless record' as a convention city con-
sidered. it was with much care that the
board worked out the entertainment
schedule of the next two weeks.
One of the knottiest problems was an
entertainment program for the "forty
Chicago millionaires'1 who will arrive on
a special train Friday. April 21, at 1
o'clock in the afternoon. Each of these
men is a "big boss" of some Chicago
bank, mercantile house, factory or like
concern and all represent Chicago's great-
est , business interests.
On the afternoon of their arrival the
Chicagoans will see the Battle of Flow-
ers parade from a specially constructed
platform in Alamo Flasa. Friday evening
they will be given a dinner with San An-
tonio business men as their hosts. Edwin
Chamberlain was appointed to arrange
for this event. Saturday there will be a
motor car ride to finish at the Post, and
a review of the maneuver division camp.
Saturday evening the guests will be
among the revelers at the masked ball.
They will remain in San Antonio until
Saturday evening, entertained by business
mem.
HARDWARE MEN PLANS.

entertainment of the hardware men,
in convention here April 26, 27 and 29.
This will be a .1oint convention of the

sociation, the Southern Hardware Job-
bers' Association and the Old Guards,
hardware traveling salesmen. There will

The entertainment of other delegates—

next Sunday and continuing five days—

STAMFORD, Tex., April 11.—H. E. Sin-
gleton of McKinney, a well-known hog
breeder, accompanied by C. C. French of
the Fort Worth Stock Yards and a repre-
sentative of Murray's Texas Swine Breeder,
spent a day in the city, Mr. Singleton de-
livering an address to a large number of
farmers at the City Hall. The object of
the visit is to arouse more interest iu hog- J
raising in this section of the State. Mr.
Singleton gave the cardinal principles foi ]
selecting hogs for breeding purposes, after ,
which he launched luto a discussion of j
how to care for the animals. He urged
pasturage was as ne<*essary ag feed and
told the farmers they could not undertake
to raise hogs unless they had plenty of
pasturage for them. t
He spoke of the advantages the South
had over the North in raising hogs ana
urged the South ought to almost double
the Increase and could do so If they ap-
plied the principles of good farming and
good Judgment as did the farmers of the
North. He recommended milo and kaffir
corn as first-class feed and said It was
quite as good as Indian corn in raising
hogs. Mr. Singleton asserted Bermuda
grass was. next to alfalfa, the best pas-
turage that could be obtained.
