hearing of a mowaga from Oovtmor Col-
Qultt condemning tha dilatory method*
of the L*il»latur» and rc»olutlon» thut
followed the road in u or the Governor'#
r.iw«a«c. From the lima the Ifouni met
at 9 o'clock tide mornlug utilll 7 o'clock
thiH evening, when the turmoil ceased
for an hour, there wuh no time when
the man who coupled the Speaker'• clmlr
Hup able in maintain order.
Med lam turned loose this morning over
the Hagby-Hteven* bill, granting further
power to oil companies, yuateruay re-
called from the Henate.
The Houee ri fused to return the
bill in the Benale. and It now Ntiindu
uj.on Its third reading and final paaeage,
iubject to il»ll. . . . .
i,otal till time wiia never thought of
this ufternoon In the conjttllon that fol-
lowed th# reading of the (lovornor'i ines-
•age. And with the Senate bill calendar
but little aftiMted by tha three d*y« JuJt
named, the House adjourned at 7 o clock
with the nine-hour day for work ng-
women next on the calendar. Attention
wa» called 1o that fact anil the further
tact that, with but one more Senate bill
day before Una die adjournment, the
chances of the bill to become a law were
eonilderably lessened
OIL MEASUBE DISCUSSED.
The Houae went back thla morning Into
a discussion of House bill No. 40(j, that
Iniquitous affair Intended to place enor-
mous power into the handa of the oil com-
panies of Texas If the opponents of the
bill are to be believed, or that righteous
act that will place Texas oil companies
Into legitimate competition with the
"octopus," If tho friends of the bill are
right In their contentions.
fcepreaent&tlve 1-ewelllng mode a vigor-
ous speech against the bill and agalna^
the motion made yesterday afternoon by
Mr. Stevens to return It to the Senate. He
«»l followed by Messrs. Mills ^Mc-
Danlel. Who also opposed the bill In ring-
ing speeches against the Increasing of
corporate iiowar by authority to consoli-
date and Invade other fields.
Representative llldgell pleaded for time
before the bill was condemned, lie Bald
that he did not attach much Importance
to a equabble between oil companies but
that he did not know enough to pass
Judgment on the bill without further jn-
llghtenmant He moved to set the bill
ss a special order for next Wednesday,
but wai held out of order by the Speaker,
as the other motions had not been dis-
r Mrd Rogers said that the Attorney neu-
tral's Department had given out a verba
opinion that tho enactment of the bill
would virtually repeal the antitrust act
and he further vigorously assailed the
' 'sir. Stevens repeated his charges made
yesterday that the fight a«alnst the bill
was inspired by the Standard Oil Com-
Pan v. He promised the Houm that It It
would return the bill to the Senate and
then If the Attorney <l«neral should ren-
tier an opinion that the bill was bad he
would Join with the House In recalling
the bill and let It die.
It'-prfBt'iUaUvo 1 off<y fouud In t nr?
discussion an opportunity to score »n-
other p»lut for no Initiative and referen-
dum. He said that he J59t wsnted to
M&tiiit u few observations, and If the bill
Vis bud took part of the responsibility
upon himself for allowing It In pass the
House, but. he concluded: "If it Is a vic-
ious measure wouldn't It be a fine oppor-
tunity for the people to pull the tsii
feathers out of It by the agency of the
referendum?"
Mr Klrby said that It was a business
question purely Will you permit the
T«'xas nil companies to ko out of the
State and compete with tho octopus, or
will you admit yourself so we.Jd.-d to
Standard Oil that you will ehoke the
corporations of your own State." He de-
nied that It was a legal question but one
of competitive business only.
Mr Keedy said the House was not pre-
pared to pass on the question and he
also expressed tho belief that it was a
business question that should be studied.
He iroved that the bill be postponed
until Monday at 10 a. m.
Mr. Stevens asked as a last courtesy
that the House postpone the bill until
Mondav and secure a written opinion
from the Attorney General.
Mr. Mills spoke again and said that no
opinion of the Attorney General was
neeiJd; that he knew himself the bill
wat bed and would vote to kill It
ptamptlr.
Mr. Filler moved the previous question
and It was ordered on all of the motions
before the House
The motion to postpone consideration of
tho bill until Monnav was lost, M ayes to
67 noes, a reversal of the vote yesterday
the
so and the vote to reconsider was car-
ried
The rest of the mornlnK was taken up
lu tho consideration of free conference
reports on the Vaughan telephone bill
and the marital lights bill.
Mr. Cope found fault with the report
on tho lehiphon# bill and a debate fol-
lowed, participated In by Messrs. Henry
and Ituwell on one side and Messrs.
JLowilllrig, Mills and Cope on the other.
An effort was made to return the bill
to another trie conference committee,
but tin' House elected to adopt the re-
port. Tho changes muda In the bill ex-
elude telegraph companies from the bene-
fits of tho bill, and allowing telephone
companies to consolidate with tho per-
mission of an^ City Council.
The married women's rights report was
adopted without debate. The bill as re
ported leaves out of the original bill the
clause objected to by Governor Colotllt'
giving to married women the right of In-
dependent contract.
The Nugent laborers' lien bill under din
cusslon yesterday when the time for con-
sideration of local bills came, was passed
to engrossment after Mr. KJrby had with-
drawn the substitute he had offered yes-
terday.
The Hrelsford-Hudspoth bill granting to
purchasers of public free school lands
prior to January 1, 191.1 and after Janu-
ary 1, 1507, the right to repurchase their
lands In case of forfeiture because of
nonpayment of Interest was called up aud
encountered opposition Mr, McDaniil
opposed tho bill and Mr. Cope spoke In
behalf of the bill In the Interest of the
men who had braved adversity to develop
the publlo free school lands of Western
Texas. The bill was stll pending when
the noon recess wus taken.
Just before the House recessed until •
o'clock a free conference committee was
appointed on the court reform bill regard
Ing court charges.
SPEAKS FOR LAND RELIEF BILL.
At 2 o'clock, when tho House met after
recess, Mr. Goodlier delivered a vigorous
and Impassioned address In behalf of the
land relief hill as a measure that would
enable the hardy men of Western lexas
to remain In possession of their homes
and not be forced to go back to their old
homes, there to remain renters tho rest
of their life. , ,
Other bills had passed the Legislature
extending time to settlers, Mr. Henry of
Bowie said, but he said that it was a
new proposition to allow them to forfeit
their lands because of nonpayment of in-
terest and to subsequently repurchase
the lands. II" objected to a forfeiture
of contract with tho State, but was will-
ing tu extern! tho time In which to pay
tho interest on their lands.
After the House came out of another
parliamentary rmiddle over a free con-
fluence committee report on tha Joint
resolution providing for a constitutional
amendment authorising bond Issues for
the Improvement of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College, the State University,
tho prison system and for the erection of
warehouses, Mr. Hartley addressed the
House in favor of the land bill. Tho con-
ference report was not adopted. The eon-
dered printed In the Journal on motion
of Mr. f.ewelllng, he having Just discov-
ered that the resolution included the
penllentlary system.
Mr. Hartley quoted from an opinion
given by the \tiorney General holding
that tie. act to Kraut the original pur-
chasers prior right to rspurcbuse would
be constitutional!

week ago while the Lynn i.ounty Ueprc-
sentattve was 111, to /'tampion the bill oil
the floor of the House, had made a
speech in favor of the bill that had the
rapt attention of the House, the bill was
passed t" engrossment. In the elosing
part of hi* speech Mr Terrell pleaded
for the unanimous passage of the bill and
not a mere majority. There were but
fifteen noes on roll call
The Collins Berate hill, providing for
the compensation of certain employes for
personal Injuries sustained in the dis-
charge of his duties, waa passed to en-
grossment after it had been amended
with committee amendment*. Amend-
ments by Messrs. Williams of Mcl.en-
tian and Burmelster were debated over
and voted down. Mr. Klrby spoke lu
tavor of tha Burmelster amendments,
saying that they added more of the New
Jersey law to the bill.
In the midst of consideration of the
bill it inessiiKe from the Governor stopped
debate over it.
Mr. Tlllotaon was In the chair during
a large port of the afternoon.
TUMULT GROWS WORSE.
The plot thickened and the tumult that
had characterised all of todny's proceed-
ings grew more pronounced when a mes-
sage from tho Vlovernor men read. Kor
the moment the compensation bill was
forgot and a hundred eager representa-
tives crowded close to the Speaker's

per right, M. A. Keller, commissioner;
lower right, J. C. Thompson, commissioner.
foolish manner used In dealing with legis-
lation. Insincere questions and useless
ones he especially attacked. Mr. Ken-
nedy had read a statement endorsing tho
attitude of Mr. Itowoll.
A resolution by Mr. Cox of Bills "pro-
testing against aspersions" cast upon the
legislature by Governor Colquitt, In
which he said the Senate and House had
at all times exercised what they con-
ceived to be their duty, was held to be
not privileged and out of order.
Mr McDanlel, against the Howell reso-
lution, defended the House aaalnst the
Governors message. He said it had
worked and that the calendar had been
made up fairly. For himself, ho said ho
declined to cowor to the demands of any
one man
The Rowell resolution on a roll call
was defeated by a vote of 14 to U).
After the workers' compensation act
had been passed to engrossment tho

disregarding an appeal by Mr. Tarvcr to
remain under Sensie bill day In order
to pasi the nine-hour workday for wom-
en bill.
Mr. Lewelllng'e fight to put off the
adoption of the bond Issue report was
blown up late this afternoon when Intel-
ligence was brought over from the Sen-
ate to the effect that the Senate had
reconsidered and concurred In the lloijse
ami ndmenta to the bill, which puts file
bill In the hands of the Governor.
HOLD TWO-HOUR NIGHT SESSION.
Tho House held forth tonight for two
hours before taking the train to Bryan,
from where tomorrow the legislators will
visit the Agricultural and .Mechanical
Collage, as the guests of the alumni of
the Institution. In the session the House
concurred In the Senate amendments to
the several House bills.
Another riot cuire about when the
House considered the Jim llogg County

be reconsidered and spread on the Jour-
nal.
Mr. Ijewelllng moved to table the sub-

AUSTIN, Tex, March 21.-Representa-

Htatement concerning the Agricultural
and Mcchantual College that has caused
considerable Interest. He Is nut only a
practical farmer but Is secretary of the
Texas Slate Fair. Ilia statemsnl, to-
gether with n letter from Secretary of
Agriculture David F. Houston, once pies
lilcnt of the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, and who strongly recommends
lhat the school lie removed from 1 'ollcge
Station, have put all the Brasos County
delegation on their mettle.
The trip of the Leglelnlur* to College
Station Saturday Is expected lu result in
an iittempt to "smooth over' nil the tie- I
inands that are growing for a removal
of Una school to another location, prob-
ably Austin.
McKAMY'S STATEMENTS.
Mr. McKamy's statement follows:
A great deal has been said and written
the last few months ns to the matter of
separating the University and the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College, and so
maintaining them, or of combining Hie
two at Austin aud converting the build-
Inge of the ..Agricultural and Mechanic#!
College Into an asylum- The fact tliot
this college was established as an agrl-
, cultural and mechanical college, and mat
I the farmers of the State have, always
claimed II a<> their college and looked
i upon it as a place to educate thcli* sons
in the science of agriculture ami animal
husbandry, and the further fact that the
j result', obtained at this college have been
1 disappointing to them because so few
: of tliu boys who aro educated at mm
college luivo ever returned to the farm,
have caused ill recent years a general and
,Id. spread dissatisfaction among farm-
rs and stockralsers, anil a demand lhat
other oolleges bo established somewhere
In the State for the purpose of teaching
agi'lcuiture'and unlmal husbandry, If not
Pi I he exclusion of other mutters, then
to a predominating extent.
Tha trouble up to this lime has been
that a lame per cent of the boys Who
go from tho farm to the Agricultural
and Mechanical Collega either become al-
taclied tu the military feature and drift
Into the army; or drift Into engineering
i,cause ol a feeling which seems In the
iscendency at the college, thai the en-
gineering department Is composed of a
little higher order of men than farmers
and stock raisers. The result I* that a
great manv boys whose fathers have sent
them there for the purpose of making
scientific farmers and stock raisers of
them never return to the farm.
Now, if the Agricultural and Mechanical
ollege is ever to be united with the uul-
, erslty and moved to Austin, as It seems
thai It should be, this ought to be done
at once, in view of the fact that this
Legislature will lie called upon to appro-
priate a larger sum of money to the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical Colleg* this
car than ever before.
