ESTABLISHED 1865
IN 1 SENATE
IFORMER ADJOURN THE UPPER
HOUSE OF LEGISLATURE UNTIL
SATURDAY MORNING.
Prohibitionists Want to "Make Haste
Slowly." Hoping; Convention Will
Take Action That May En-
courage Passage of the
Liquor Bills.
(By George Waverley Briggs.i
AVSTIN. Te*., Aug. 4.-Frohibit.lonists
won a brief triumph tonight in the par-
liamentary battle that has been precipl-
Itated in the Senate over pending legisla-
tion restricting the ll.j'tor traffic. Tbey
caught their opponents napping and
wh.le enjoying the privilege and power
of ? temporary majority they adjourned
[the Senate until Saturday morning, there-
by peremptorily deferring consideration
'of the liquor, measures until after Sun-
day.
The purpose of the aMlprohibiUonists
lias been to kill the bills without grace.
Administering the death blow at once
they would kill two birds with cms stone
-by eliminating the possible effect of the
moral force which the House would exert
should it pass the bills and confront (he
Senate directly by a stubborn issue,
and, further, by removing the possibility
•of demoralization of their ranks in
consequence of something which the
Galveston convention might do in
<he event the prohibitionists should
control it A bill that la voted down can-
not be reintroduced during the same ses-
sion of the Legislature. Hence, the anti-
prohibitionists' demand for haste.
THE PROHIBITIONISTS' PLAN.
Prohibitionists in the Senate likewise
have two objects in view In their clamor
for adherence to the time-worn injunc-
tion to "make haste slowly." They rec-
ognize the possibility of the convention
taking action that, might encourage (he
passage of the bills, although they have
not sufficient confidence to hope for such
result from a body that seems to be
foreordained antiproliibitlon In nttitnde.
The liquor bills came out of the Sen-
ate committee today on minority favor-
able reports. But their advocates would
rol allow the Senate to receive them
aner the morning call has been conclud-
ed. The reports were not ready for presen-
tation during the morning calls and when
they were finished unanimous consent to
their introduction was refused. There-
fore bv carrying the reports over until
tomorrow the bills could not have been
taken up until Saturday. Inasmuch as
commit tee reports must lie on the table
a day. That was the first flank move-
ment.
When the Senate adjourned this morn-
'ng it was to meet again tonight for the
joint session of the legislature, which
was addressed by Governor Sanders ul
Louisiana. Senators Peeler and Meachuni
were members of the reception comm t-
tee which was appointed to entertain the
visiting Governor and to escort him to
the House of Representatives, when ii
■spoke immediately upon the (:oncll'®.<''j
of the joint session the Senate retired
PeK Meachtui, however
tTev had been'' designated!' Two other
members of the antlprohlbitlonist con-
thigoiil were also absent. The proh bl-
t ionise nevertheless, with one exception.
Which was due illness of Hemi or
Stokes were present in n bodv. milium,
wan and ready for strategem or spoils
I hey numbered fourteen, while inei
political adversaries mustered but twelve
Ylicv clinched the situation and adjourned
before the anliprohibitionists could rally
I Ceil- missing members and gained an-
o!her day for the exploitation of their
inoeram. The committee repoita will he
1 prolved Saturday and will he on the
t- hie i day. The antlprohlbltlonisls can-
not muster the necessary two-thirds to
take up the bills at once.
TENSION IS BKOOMING ACl'TU
The tension of the legislative situation
is becoming painfully acute It was In-
tensified by the report which was bruited
about the Capitol today hat sixteen
members of the Senate had banded to-
gelh.it with the determination not only
to defeat the liquor bills which have
been introduced In pursuance to the Gov-
ernor'.-. message, but also, as a mallei .it
reprisal, to block all legislation wh'eh
this session laav be called upon I" con-
side. It Is said by one member of me
Senate. who declines to <|iu»ied. in it

ernor's message as w effort to em-
barrass Mr. Colqultf. Ibe Democrat!-
nominee for the Governorsh p. and ii -
their purpose. t i« intimaied. to dis-
cipllne the retiring Chief Executive.
The Governor. it seems. was not long
in an ertaininofthe status of affair.*, li
^nesting interviews with a number of the
obdurate members he expressed h s moid
and feelings freely. Me told them thai if
they purposed to sacrifice wholesome and
needed legislation upon the altar of the
liquor traffic they could expect to hear
from him in a manner that would not
noon be forgotten. He made It cleat that
he is remaining in his office with his
"neck bowed." and that he had per-
formed his duty ami expected them to
perform theirs. The Governor may not
expect to pass the legislation he has
iecommended. He is content, It is re-
ported. with the thought/that he has
varied a reform that mult eventualiy
come, particularly with respect to the
ten-mllo law

QI KIMOC. Aug. 4. Those ni\vleriou8
liotidon friends of Dr. Hawley II. ('rip-
pen who have already retained counsel
to defend him on a charge of wife mur-
der. have offered further assistance by
cable today. Two messages were deliv-
ered to the dentist in his cell. The first
asked if he needed funds; the second in-
quired about the rumors circulated
abroad as well as in this country, to the
effect that lie had confessed.
Crippen replied by cable/that he would
appreciate some money,f and lie reas-
sured his friends that lie had made no
admission that would hurt his case. The
wording of neither of the messages nor
of Dr. Crippen's reply was made pub-
lic, nor\wero the names signed to those
from London obtainable. It is supposed,
however that the latter came from Ar-
thur Newton, the London solicitor, who
recently informed ('ulppen that he had
friends who would defend him and pay 1
for an attorney.
ft was said that a local attorney whose i
name the authorities decline to divulge, '
sent word today to Miss Leneve offer- 1

DKMCM'HATS CLAIM KRAI'P.
At the Independent headquarters here
it la claimed that their majority will
be approximately 10.000 votes. The regu-
lar Democrats, whose ticket was de-
feated, claim these figures will be cut
by Id,Olio (,r I >,(100 votes ami their lead-
ers allege fraud in manv phots. They
also charge that they were denied rep-
resentation at the polls by the election
commissioners dominated by the lutle
pendent faetlon. The latter represents
in ;i large measure the Statewide prohi-
bition element of the Democratic parly,
which has been vigorously opposing Gov-
ernor Patterson since his campaign
against the late ex-Senator CarmacK. for

When the State eoiiiinlttee ordered a
blanket primary for nomination of both
judicial and Stale officers, three members
of the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Heard

Wilson and Taylor of the Court of Civil
Appeals, refused to enter the primary and
the Independent movement was ou,
Judges McAllster and Hell of the Su-
preme Court entered the primary ami were
on the regular tickel. Judge Harton of
the Court of Civil Appeals, was also a
nominee for the Supreme Court.
Governor Patterson entered the lists for
the regular ticket and slumped the State

The Cooper case, charges of attempted
eoerelnn of the Supreme Court by the

his pardon of I). H Cooper, played lead

most to make it a fight of Patterson and

followed by a break In Republican ranks
