MUCH TO BE DONE.
There ore enough big things to do.
„ Besides the appropriation bills—the de-
£.irt mental bill is not one-fourth finished
i the Hyuae. and bills covering educatton-
al, eleeinoijnary and miscellaneous ex-
jiqpses arc yet to be reported- the matter
uf prison reform will demand attention.
The method of election of United States
Senators is yet to be considered.
The witness fee bill, affecting the opera-
tion of every District Court and to de-
termine whether the witnesses In felony
oases shall serve the State without com-
pensation or whether the taxpayers who
are equally Interested shall bear part of
the expense of witnesses by paying a fee,
I under proper restrictions, is a matter which
U to be passed upon, both in the bill pi
posing to repeal the present law and
iQ
the appropration bills.
The "blue sky" measures, intended to
prevent frauds in the sale of stocks or
ether securities, or lands, make a highly
important item of legislation, on which
tl»re is certain to develops a hot debate.
» itepresentatlve Humphrey Insists that he
will start a fight to prevent further eon-
struction of a prison railroad unless work
is already Interrupted by tomorrow. His
bill for changes In the present system will
be referred and on one, at least, the com
inittee is already pledged to a favorable
report.
DRASTIC ACTION NEKDKD.
Reports as to evidence secured by the
Legislative Investigation Committee have
caused many members of the House, who
had not hitherto given much attention to
the prison system, to decide that drastic
action of some sort is imperative. Humph-
rey believes that he had the right plan and
is preparing to make his fight stroug and
Another ibarr contest Is to come when
Is Kennedy 1)111 for election of United
atea Senators get* before tbe House on
favorable report from tbe committee. A
tnorlty report will nuggest tbe suhi/l-
tlou of tbe Klrby bill, which embodies
e Ideas of (Jovernoi Colquitt.
■♦The Kennedy bill profiles for n double
Jjrlmary to select nominees, limits tbe
amount to be spent on lieb.-ilf of any can-
lidate to $8,000, and glrea tbe Governor
■o right of appointment when vacancies
occur. The Kirby bill permits tbe Gov-
ernor to make ad interim appointments
and allows four montbi' time to be given
before holding an election.
» Llewellyn hopes to get favorable com-
1 mittee action on his resolution criticising
tbe Governor's statements in bis message
about the effect of Democratic tariff legis-
lation. Col of Ellis wants to get the
House to consider bis resolution Inviting
the Governor to make a speech. And l»ilf
a dozen, tit least, of other sets of where-
ases and be-lt-resolveds are In course of
formulation to be brought up in sotue form
in the first two days of tbe week.
Meantime, the Governor ia reported to
he firm In the determination not to call a
further session. If he does not change his
. mind much hopeful legislation will be left
f on the calendar when tbe lawmakers start
home.

Twenty-four Year*' Service With State
Guard Completed.

AUSTIN, Tex., July 27.—Major and In-
sect or General Allen Buell of Han An-
tonio, who has been a commissioned offi-
cer in the Texas National Guard since
1889, has been placed on the retired list,
by an order Issued by the Adjutant Gen-
eral's office. Major Buell, all during his
connection with the State Guard has al-
ways taken a prominent part at the en-
campments.
Major Buell has also seen service with
the regular United States Army, hav-
ing /served as first sergeant in Company
M. Fourth Artillery, from 1867 to 1870, and
was sergeant in the United States Signal
Corps from 1.870 to 1S91.
Veterans Give Reception.
The Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., July 27.-The John B.
Hood Camp, United Confederate Vet-
erans, gave an interesting program and
reception at the rooms of the Daughters
of the Confederacy In the State Capitol
this afternoon. A number of members
lof the Legislature were in attendance.
The entertainment, which was In charge
of r committee of which Mrs. Forrest
T. Morgan was chairman, was one of
the most enjoyable ever given by the
camp. One of the features of the business
part of the program was the reading of
a copy of a resolution adopted by the
Dallas Tamp of Confederate Veterans
asking for an investigation of the Con-
federate Home.
""All who are in favor will say 'aye'."
A chorus of ayes.
All opposed will say 'no'."
A chorus of noea.
"The ayes have it——"
A doien members clamor for recogni-1
tlou.
•• —and the amendment to the amend-1
incut is laid on the table."
.More clamorous cries for recognition,
mingled with calls of "Vote!" "Vote!
and vociferous demands to know what
this great country is coming to.
Earnest pounding of gavel.
Mr, Speaker, 1 rise to a point of
Order."
"The point h> overruled. *
Bang! .Bang: Bang! The head of the
gavel flies off.
The sergeant at arms will preserve
order and seat the members. '
Cries of "Gentlemen, please be seated,'
as assistants to the sergeant at arms
scurry about the chamber. Page hurries
out for new gavel.
Mr. Speaker! Mr. Speaker!
"For what purpose does the gentle-
man rise?"
"1 move you, sir, that we adjourn un-
"The chair refuses to recognize the
gentleman for that purpose."
• Mr. Speaker, 1 desire to offer the fol-
lowing substitute to the amendment.'1
The clerk will road the substitute to
tSe amendment."
" "1\> amend House bill "
A lull of a few seconds, and the per-
formance is repeated with variations ad
libitum.
• ••••*••
No, the above isn't any part of the rav-
ings or a riotous assemblage, but just a
few high lights out of a two-minute sec-
tion of the deliberations of the Texas
House ot Representatives on an appro-
priation bill.
"Does the gentleman from Tarrant
yield?' is a question heard dozens of
times during the past week while various
apivopriatlon Items have beeu before
the House.
"Certainly" is the unvarying response,
and the gentlemen who pass the time
heckling the broad-beamed chairman of
the Committee on Appropriations have
rarely been able to make him pause long
In his task of hammering through the
business in hand.
Always courteous and painstaking with
the less forward members who occasion-
ally ask for information, the scorching
sarcasm which he directs against his
colleagues who habitually offer amend-
ment niter amendment and want to de-
bate each one at length Is something to
check any but a very foolish or a very
courageous man.
"Will you please enlighten me as to
the purpose of this item?" asked on? of
tlie regular objectors Friday.
f-Uuf'ot believe," answered the gentle-
man rrrni Tarrant, "that I or any other
man can perform that stupendous task.
However, for the benefit of other mem-
bers of the House—" and he told in a
dozen words what the committee knew
about that particular item.
But it Is all in the day's work with
Louis J. Wortham, the gentleman from
Tarrant.
"We always have to let them wear
themselves out over a few foolish little
Items, he said after tbe House had ad-
journed until Monday, "before they will
settle down and attend to business. We
will get to work before long."
Six feet six of desperately earnest Texnn
in Tarver of Navarro.
Loose-limbed, lean, big-featured, big-
volced, he is a figure to command atten-
tion anywhere, and he has the attention of
the House frequently. Sometimes he geta
on the wrong track, discovers his mistake
in time and makes u speedy and graceful
retreat. But when he goes so far as to
appenl to the House on a point of order,
as lie has done twice in the past week, he
fights from every possible angle, and
keeps on fighting until the vote is taken.
Tarver is conspicuous among the mi-
nority members who are constantly insist-
ing on detailed explanations of every item
of legislation offored. He can hardly be
said to be a loader of this ralniorlty, which,
Judged by events of the past week, Is
united mainly by ties of temperament and
is without leadership, hut he can always
count on the co-operation of a dozen or so
of the Representative® whose bent of mind
is similar to his own.
"Do you know whether Mangum is here
yet?" asked a visit'; of one of the old-
timers after roll ^all Monday.
"Did you notice whether he answered to
his name?" asked the old-timer.
"I din't notice," confessed the stranger.
"Then he isn't here,'' averred the man
who knew
The answer of the gentleman from Hunt
when the ayes and noes are taken Is a
distinct feature of the House roll-call. It
is like the fortissimo beat of a kettle-drum
booming through the Incoherent babel of
minor sounds that make the chamber hum
all day long.
Mangum is one of the younger mem-
bers of the House, both In years and in
point of service. He has so far made no
attempt to take personal charge of the
business of the House, as have some of
the other young men, but watches closely

AUSTIN, Tel., July 27.—The Dtxon in-
cident of Saturday at Juarez, Mexico, has
again centered interest of the Legislature
iu the Burges resolution, which will be
(ailed up for actiou In the House tomor-
low.
The resolution recites the Democratic
platform pledge regarding the protection
of Americans abroad, and diplomatically
urges the State Department to see that
the pledge is observed.
While its substance is endorsed by
every member of the House who has ex-
pressed himself, the reeolutlou is by uo
meuus certain of adujktiou, even uuder the
stimulus of the Dixon Incident,
The situatlou is regarded sb bo grave
bj many of tin Kepresentatlvee that they
lelleve any action by the House, and
even consideration of such a resolution
at this time, might seiiously embarrass
the State Department, or, by being mis-
interpreted, be rsed by an tl American in-
fluences lu Mexico tor further hostilo
<?€m oust ration 8.
Mr. Burges was out of towu yesterday
afternoon sud today, but his colleague
fiorn El I'aso, E. L. Harris, said that un-
doubtedly the House will be called upon
to take action one way or the other. The
resolution was reported favorably by the
Committee on Federal relations by a two-
thirds vote, and should have come be-
fore tho HouBe Friday but for the pre-
cipitate adjournment of that body.

NEW WW LS EXPENSIVE
Trails for Lunacy Now Will Cost $100
for kiach Case.
Tha l'lor**bI All.[in linn-tin.
AUSTIN, Tex., July 27.—Cuuiity Judge
William von Rosenberg shows by figures
that the expense of determining the cases
of lunacy lu Travis County will be greatly
Increased by the new law. which abolishes
the trial of lunacy cases by a Jury. The
lunacy cases were formerly tried by a
jury and the average cost to the county
for each case was about $2(1. Under the
I present law, Judge von Rosenberg says,
the average cost per case will be $ 100. lie
also questions the betterment of the new
law over the old.
Thirty-five lunacy cases were tried ill
the Travis Couuty Court last year and
the total cost of the hearings was about
11,000. If these cases had been tried un-
der the present law, which became effect-
ive July 1, the cost is estimated by Judge
von Rosenberg to be fcj.UW).

A resolution was adopted for the ap-
pointment of a committee to iuvesligute
as to the facts and make a report to tho
meetiug of the Texas division at Green-
ville, August T.
Two sets of resolutions were introduced (
condemning alleged anti-Southern state-
ments made in histories used at the Stato
University and calling for the removal
of anti-southern men from the faculty.
One of the resolutions requested the
Texas division to "devise and use ail the
legitimate means within its power to
the end that the University of Texas
and all other State educational institu-
tions may be cleared of all anti-Southern
partisan influences aud be kept so
cleared."
Neither of these resolutions was acted
upon, the afternoon having become so
warm, in the meeting place, that a
quorum was lacking, but those veterans
who expressed themselves were strongly
in favor of both propositions.
Attorney General B. F. Looney said to-
night that he had made the statement
criticised by the veterans in the argu-
ment of the case bearing on the right of
the Daughters to use a room In the
Capitol, but that it was not used in an
offensive sense. w
"I had made the point," said Mr.
Looney, "that the room In the Capitol ia
publio property, built for public pur-
post#!, maintained by public taxation
and, therefore, should not be used for any
private purpose, however laudable. I had
called attention to the fact that the prop-
erty in the room is not public property,
but the private propery of the organiza-
tion and used for its private purposes. To
characterize clearly the situation, from a
legal standpoint, I said that this was an
instance where public property was used
as a private snap. In this there was no
reflection on the organization nor on
uny individual member, and it is a
strained construction indeed which could
interpret the statement as being calcu-
lated to offend anyone."

AL1CK, Tex., July 27. Reports from all sec-
tions of this part of Texas indicate that the
boll weevil has destroyed all except the very
first cotton to mature. Alice ginned its first
bale a week ago, but everybody from neigh
boring towns pronounce the crop a failure un-
less the weevils disappear, in which event, with
several mouths before a possible frost, perhaps
bulf a crop may materialise. The feed crops
are immense and many farmers have already
housed the first crop of cane.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO
MIKE MONEY?
You cun work for a salary all
your life aud the chances ure yon
will never get us much as a year's
Hiilury laid up. You can work In \
it Htna 11 husincas Hue a life time and
the chances ure when you die yuur
estate will barely pay your debta.
Statistics prove this. Ninety-eight,
per cent of all businesses fail. There
la only one chance In the world for
you to get rich. That is to buy
something that will Increase In
value. It makes no difference wheth-
er it Is stock, bonds, real estate or
what it Is. Tho only way to get
rich in to buy low and sell high.
lu spite of the teachings of our
socialist friends everybody wants
to get rich. It is the one ambition
that keeps us going.
Now, you can buy a share of
stock in the Harbor City Terminal
Corporation for $100 today and you
will get a lot in Harbor City and a
lot Iti Ingleslde without spending
any more money. You may have to
wait a few years for the big profits,
but they are just aa certain to come
ns the Panama Canal Is to be
opened for traffic. You can buy
your stock today and Hell It tomor-
row and you will probably make no
profit at all, but If you will buy
it today and hold on to It, your
chttnees are good for 100, 1,000 or
10,000 per cent Increase.
I do not ask you to do ns I sav

formulate any definite expression as to
a Mexican policy.
The President linx encountered further
opposition lu the Senate to recent ap-
pointments. Several of his diplomatic ap-
pointment!) still remain unconfirmed, and
n fight is being made against several
minor appointments. Objections by Sen
alor Vardumau have now raised un Issue
over Adam IC. Patterson, the negro re
eently mimed for register cf the treasury
Senator Vordaman nns declared lie will
oppose the confirmation cf Patterson.
No general program of opposition to the
President's appointments lias been i-ar
rled out bv Republicans, however. Out of
nearly li.lKK' uostoffli'e appointments all
hut about !I00 have been confirmed and
most of these are lield back only for the
usual routine examination.
The lobbv Investigation to he resumed
tomorrow by the Senate Investigating
committee is approaching an end, as fur
us the Senate Is concerned.
An opportunity Is to be given to Ute
National Association of -Manufacturers for
a limited cross examination of Martin
Mullmil, who claims to have been for
many years their "lobbyist" aud secret
political agent. It In expected he will lie
turned over to tho House Investigators
lute 111 the week.
PLANS ARE CHANGED.
Confronted by apparently Irreconcilable
disagreement among Democrats of the
House Banking and Currency Committee
on tho pending currency bill, the Admin-
istration tonight again changed its plans
foi getting the measure through the com-
mittee and the House. The scheme of
Chairman Glass to take the unfinished
bill out of the committee Democrats and
Bend it to the Democratic House caucus,
which fulled on Friday, was abandoned
after Mr. Glass today conferred with
Prcsldtnt Wilson.
The bill will be kept In the conference
ot the committee Democrats this week,
according to the new plan, and they will
be forced to vote on the essentials of the
measure. The Administration supporters
believe they will be able to outvote, the
so-called Insurgents by lu to 4 or 11 to a.
Representative llagsdale, who offered
the Hetiry-Hagsdale Insurgent amend-
ments to the bill; Representative Bulke-
ley ot Ohio, Representative Kagle or i
Texas and Representative Neely of Kan- ■
sas are the four members listed as doubt- !
ful. If the disagreement of these four i
cannot be disposed of by discussion and !
auumcnt they will be voted down. |
The Aumtniatratlon forces today ad-
vanced the belief that the President, de- I
aplto the unhappy outlook, would be able
to get his bill through both ends of the
Capitol practically unchanged.
in a statement Issued tonight Mr. (Jlass
said:
"While there Boomed to be cause for
dlicouiagement some days ago, leading
me to entertain personully tho belief that
the program might better be facilitated
by going to the caucus with the bill, I
am now confident there speedily will be
substantial agreement among member*
hi the committee and that we shall, per-
haps, in another tun days, be able to
report out the Administration measure
j with sotue of the details altered, but
none of its essentials materially changed.
"The i'reBtdent has not changed his
altitude as to the necessity for currency
legislation nt thin session, nor altered his
position with respect to the main foa-
tuics of tho hill under consideration by
the committee. Moreover, 1 feel war-
ranted In making the declaration that a
safe majority of Democratic memliera of
the Hanking and Currency Committee of
tin House, when It come* to the test,
will stand with the Administration."

Bailey's letter In additon to commend-
ing warmly his own record as an office-
holder, says:
"Ah niucii as it would gratify me to
meet the wishes of my friends nothing
less than a conviction that the welfare
of Texas demanded my services, and that
a decided majority of Texas Democrats
desired them, could ever induce me to
accept another office. I am uot vain
enough to suppose that a condition such
as I have Just Indicated will never arise,
and, consequently, 1 am making all my
plans t<> spend the balance of my days
as a private citizein.
"Having said to you that 1 would not
any office. It is not necessary
for trie to explain why 1 would not
accept the Governorship of Texas; but
the personal friendship which has long
existed between us, and the political obli-
gations which I owe you, entitle you
to understand my particular, as well as
my general feeling on the subject I,
therefore say to you frankly that I would
not accept an election as Governor of
Texas if it were tendered to me with
practical unanimity, because I have no
experience in executive affairs, and I am
not confident that I could make our great
Stato such a Governor as she deserves
to have. My studies, as well as all of
my experience, so far as they qualify
me for any office, qualify me for legis-
lative rather than executive work, and
you very well know that the qualifica-
tions for one are not necessarily the same
qualiflcatlous required for the others.
"i would not sacrifice the peace and
contentment, which I find In my present
surroundings and subject myself again
to malicious and unwarranted assaults
upon my good name, unless required to
do so by some condition of affairs which
does not now exist, and which I do not
think is apt to exist next year, or in th«
years to come."
