One of the New Men
In the Legislature
HE PROMISES TO PUT IT BEFORE

IS A
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex , Aug 4.—Thfl chart©?,
proposing to change the municipal gov-
ernment of San Antonio from thn airier-
manic to the commission form, with
minor changes effected today, is going
through the last process of copying and
will be presented for the Governor's
perusal tomorrow Governor Campbell
again received a committee of the Com-
mission Government League today and
advising his visitors to "get together on
the bill," requested them to deliver a
copy for his reading and promised to
"put it before the Legislature if I see a
chance."
The San Antonio committee spent six
hours in consultation with the Bexar
<'ounty delegation, going over fho char-
ter looking for errors and putting In a
number ot changes which the conferees
thought necessary.
BEXAR DELEGATION 18 A UNIT.
The entire delegation in the Legislature
is now in favor of the bill. The incor-
poration of the ratification clause re-
moved whatever opposition had been ex-
hibited, a part of the representation be-
lieving that the most equitable plan by
which the form <>/thc city's government
could he changed would he that of allow-
ing the people themselves to determine
their choice at the polls. In view of the
unanimity of support which the delegation
is according the charter, the Commission
Government League committee is jubi-
lant L>. J. Woodward, as lie left the con-
terence room this afternoon, remarked
that there is not a hitch in the program.
We are all agreed," said Mr. Woodward,
"and we expect to have the charter sub-
mitted ami enacted promptly."
Mr. Woodward informed the Governor
this morning that capable lawyers spent
months in drafting the charter and sev-
eral weeks in checking it for mistakes or
omissions. The Governor was also noti-
fied that with the incorporation of the
ratification clause the delegation in the
Legislature became a unit. Governor
Campbell's attitude evinced sympathy
with the measure and its purposes, and
while his words were noncommittal his
demeanor wan assuring.
One of the conspicuous changes made
in the charter by the members of the
Bexar County legislative delegation and
the league committee was to increase
the salary of the mayor from $4000 to
$5000 and that of the several commission-
ers from 13000 to $3600. The other revision
of note was to eliminate the provision
under which the recorder's court is,given
criminal jurisdiction with the county and
justice courts and the substitution in
lieu thereof the provision of the present
charter of San Antonio relating to the
city court.
To the primary election rules was
added the following provision: "In the
event there are no more than twb candi-
dates for the office of mayor, no
primary shall be held for the office of
mayor, but the names of the candidates
shall be placed upon the ballot for the
general election." Completed, this pro-
vision applies also to candidates for the
office of commissioner where there are
no more than eight in .the field.
CHANGES MADE * IN CHARTER
Other changes rrmde in the charter are:
Money may be appropriated from the
treasury only upon the affirmative vote
of three commissioners instead of four.
The Department of Police and Public
Safety was clumped to the Department of
Police. Klre and Public Safety.
All accounts of the city shall he verified
l»,v affidavit.
That provision of Hie charter requiring
candidates to file with the announcement
of their candidates a list <»f twenty-five
qualified voters endorsing their caiwU-
oates was eliminated.
The maximum fine for Infractions of the
city ordinances was increased from *100
t<> $200.
The Mayor instead of the Commissioners
is given the power to remit fines imposed
by the recorder* court in cases iinolving
violations ot municipal ordinances.
The qualifications of the Assistant City
Attorney shall he the same as that of the
<'itv Attorney except as to age and experi-
ence in the practice of law.
A elaute was inserted validating all
bond issues heretofore issued.
Monthly instead of weekly settlements of
all school funds are required.
I he powers of the commissioners with
reference to the removal of obstructions
and dams from the river are increased to
include the erection of dams.
The provision to authorize the commis-
siccrs to prohibit ano regulate the sale
within the city of "any meats slaughtered
outside the limits of the city" received
the additional clause "unless properlv in-
spected."
The power to provide for parks and
plafas was increased to include "and to
provide public playgrounds, baths and
Watering places for man and beast."

Old Line Fire Insurance Companies,
It Is Declared, Are Trying to C hoke
Former Out of Business.
Dully Kxpress Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 4. The House In-
surance Committee today heard com-
plaints on present fire Insurance rates
from J. 0. Hornberger, manager of a
local fire insurance eompsuiv, who un-
dertook to show th'.t old line -i npaniey
are combining to choke tlio business life
out of the home insurance companies
George II. Harris, secretary of the Boarl
of Trade and W. A. Barlow, city a'tor-
ney, both of Taylor; Represent.u'v© I. IV
Stephenson of Hillsboro and \V. Dag-
ger of Sun Marcos.
Some 400 typewritten pages of testimony
lias been taken thus far in the Mouse
committee hearing. Every report of a
town or community who has registered a
( ompiaint has been required to take ex-
ample risks on which overcharges are
claimed to have been made and explain
them iu detail.
HOI'SE OWNERS DO NOT COMPLAIN.
This has taken up much time and
worked a corps of court stenograph y's
long hours. Most of the complaints thus
far have been from big mercantile in-
surers. Complaints on dwelling rates
have been scarce.
The Taylor delegation showed that
rates on business risks have been in-
creased in that city under the present
law about l!00 per cent, while residence
rates have been decreased It) nor cent.
Mr. Stephenson had practically no com-
plaint to make, and showed that where
increases on mercantile risks had been
made the cause in a majority of instances
was attributable to bad physical or ex-
posure conditions.
Mr. Dugger, who has been a local fire
Insurance agent at San Marcos, favored
repeal of the present law and allowing
the old "competitive" system to prevail.
Mr. Dugger said he is willing to take
chances on being discriminated against
under the old system.
By local physical Improvements, he
said, San Marcos will be able to lower its
key rate from 89 to :1T cents.
A letter from L. Lv Wolfe. Iiend of a
San Antonio vocational school dealing in
part with the coinsurance clause, was
incorporated in the records. With refer-
ence to this clause Mr. Wolfe writes;
"When a month ago my shop, contain-
ing more than $5000 of wood and iron
working machinery, was destroyed by
fire 1 learned for the first time that the
coinsurance clause was in my policy.
Having insured only residences hereto-
fore 1 was ignorant of such a clause, in
\ lew of the vital importance of the co-
insurance clause it would, seem to me
advisable to require this clause printed in
bold type, possibly in red.
"I find that many, very many, intelli-
gent citizens here have no idea whether
there is a coinsurance clause on their
policies or not."
The hearing will be resumed at 9 o'clock
tomorrow morning.

AI'STIN, Tex.. Aug. t. -Ti e declaration
of war on tlie liquor question fight came
In the House this afternon. Therr was a
challenge from thn ant'pi'ohibitlcn sui•
and a quick acceptance by the pros. The
mask was pulled o f the iss.< and de-
fiance was hurled by both sides, as the
result of a request from Mr, Canities,
chairman of the ommittee on liquor
traffic io have the names of four prohl
bltion members added u the committee.
The ant is were stirred by the request,
and a hot charge, in the nature of a
question was fired by Mr. McGowan
when he warned to know* if Mr. Canales
was "trying to stack the cards."
Before the fight was over the four
prohibitionists were added to the com-
mittee, and to kill their votes the Rouse
voted M to 12 to add the names of four
antiprohibitlonlsts io the commiMee. This
vote did not reveal the line-up of the
two sides, however. The antls and pros
scattered, some pros voting to add the
antls to the committee. A debate of some
warmth took place, attended by three
personal privilege talks.
There was a, tense moment and excite-
ment ran high, when Mr.. Crawford de-
dared "the mask might as well be pulled
off and the fight fought to the finish."
Mr. Trnver shouted: Your challenge Is
accepted."
"Come on-—we're ready for you. Wo
are ready," and similar shouts of defi-
ance came from different portions of the
hall.
CANALES" REQUEST.
The House had been in session but a
littIf! while this afternoon when Mr Ca-
nales requested that Messrs Mason,
Stephenson, Baker of Hood and Reid
bo added to the liquor traffic cijiimlttee,
"Aren't you trying to stack tlie canto."
inquired Mr. McGown, insinuatingly.
Mr. Baker of Hood rose to a question
of personal privilege. He gave notice
that he had requested Mr. Canales to
submit his name for membership in the
liquor Traffic committee, and made it
clear Mr. Canales had not sought his
membership.
Mr. Smith told of a morning session of
the liquor traffic committee, in which he
took part, not knowing, he said, he is
not a member. He said his name had
been called out by the clerk as a mem-
ber and that he assisted in preventing
three liquor bills being reported favor-
ably, and In postponing them until to-
morrow morning.
' I object to being run over by the
steam roller, said he, "and I also object
to stocking committees to bring about
the result desired by the chairman,'
Mr Canales called pn the four mem-
bers whose names he proposed to say
whether or not he had approached them
to join the committee. Mr. Raker of
Hood and Mr. Mason said he hud not
spoken to them on the subject
Mr. Crawford sent to Mr. Canales a
paper bearing the names of Messrs. Buch-
anan, Goodman. Wortham and Crawford
and called on .Mr. Canales'to say wheth-
er or not he would request that the four
antiprohibltionista suggested be added to
the committee.
"[ have no objection," replied Mr. Ca-
nales. "but another matter is before the
}louse Just now. My integrity has been
Impeached and I want that question to
be settled by the House."
Mr. Crawford disclaimed having meant
any discourtesy to Mr. Canales, but te-
peated his request that the committee
chairman amend his request by offeimg
the four autis' names for membership in
the committee.
HOT WORDS COME.
"The only way those members can be i
added ?u tli£ commute :s by motion of t
lhe Chairman." said Mr. Crawford, speak- |
lug to Mr. Canales, then turning to the1
Speaker with decided vehemence, he con-
tinued "we might just as well pull the |
mask off now and go into this tight to 1
the finish."
And this statement removed the mask, I
Intensified the issue. Shouts went up from
all sides: "Let's have it." "We are
ready.,' "Come on," were some of them.
It was then Mr. Tarver hurled these
these words across the hall: 'We accept
your challenge."
The House was tumultous.
Mr. Crawford, continuing, said: "The
only way we can get on the committee is
through the chairman and 1 say in Jus-
tice to us
II!h closing words were lost in cries of
"Vote, vote."
Mr. Smith rose to a question of per-
sonal privilege and seiiiihumoroush de-
nied he had meant any reflection oil Mr.
Canales In charging the chairman with
attempting to "stock" the committee.
Mr. Kennedy endeavored to smooth
matters over, advising that Mr. Canales
"meant to be fair," and asked unani-
mous consent to "let Mr. Canales have
his way."
Mr. Stepter Interposed an objection.
There were more cries of "vote."
Mr. Mason then rose to a question of
personal privilege. Q
The members applauded him.
He Vnerely asserted he had not request-
ed Mr. Canales to have his name added
to the committee.
Mr. Canales' motion, adding the four
members whose names he proposed to the
committee, prevailed by an overwhelming
viva voce vote, Mr. McGown voting "no"
vociferously, and a few others Joining
him.
Following this Mr. Crawford renewed
his request to have the four antiprohi-
bitlonlsts added to the committee.
"I was lust about to make a request
to that effect,' said Mr. Canales.
Mr. Canales did make the request and
Mr. Stepter again objected.
The vote was then taken and the four
antiprohibitlonlsts were added to the com-
mittee, the vote favoring this action be-
ing 69 to 4^-
EN LA RG ED < OM MITT EE.
When the committee resumed its ses-
sion just after the House adjourned thin
evening many of the new members were!
present. As enlarged, the committee is
now composed of Canales, chairman;
Hell, Flournoy, German, Nelson of Kauf-
i man. L^e, Graham, Ldoney, Stephenson, j

The first bill considered was that by I
' Brown lee and Tarver to regulate the
j handling of express shipments of liquor.
! Mr. Tarver explained Its provisions say
! irq; that the purpose is to amend the
i present law so as to provide that, the
book which tlie express company keeps
I for receipts for shipments shall show
the date of the receipt of the liquor, the
' date of its delivery, the name of the
j consignor and the consignee, and to make
I this book subject to public inspection.
Mr. Buchanan moved to adjourn with-
out considering the measure, saying that
the members woiVld barely have time to
get supper before the night session of
the House. The motion was lost, the
vote being 11 ayes and 12 noes. Chair-
man Canales had to make two counts
before he was certain of the result.
Mr. Looney moved that the bill be re-
ported with a favorable recommendation,
There was no debate and the motion pro-
vailed, the vote being 14 ayes. 9 noes.
Then the motion to recess until ft o'clock
tomorrow morning prevailed without op-
position.

COCHRAN CONTINUES ADDRESS
BEFORE COMMITTEE.
Among Other Things, He Suggests ton
Amendment Permitting Companies
to Take Care of New and
Sudden Risks.
I>aiIv KxpriHN Austin Bureau.
AI'STIN, Tex., Aug. 4. Before the Sen-
ate insurance Committee S. P. Cochran
of Dallas resumed Ids speech, common H
yesterday, discussing the various provis-
ions of the Hudspeth bill creating sm-
other State fire rating board an I en-
larging its powers.
As to the provision that only authorized
rates shall be used by the companies Mr.
Cochran suggested an amendment which
would permit the companies to lake care
of new risks springing up suddenly ai d
not provided for In the regular schedules.
Mr. Cochran contended that discrimina-
tion as between cities of the same class
would result if the board exercised the
powers authorized in the section permit-
ting the board to make different rates for
different places based on the fire record
of the respective localities. The section
permits the board to advance the rates
in towns having heavy fire losses and
reducing them where a city has a rec.n l
for small losses. He argued that such
practice would permit discrimination,
which should not be countenanced. His
companies simply withdrew from towns
wheii; there are continued losses and
which are "sink holes" for premiums.
Mr. Cochran favored a standard policy
form and that the New York form of
standard policy be the one adopted. The
uniformity of contract would be helpful
and also protection to the public. The
State could also adopt some well known
standard clause, such as Iron safe and
others which have been passed upon by
the courts and generally accepted as fair.
He generally criticised several of the pro*
visions of tiic hill ano contended that the
companies should have fifteen days before
the board's rates become effective and
thirty days after the rates became effec-
tive to contest same in the courts. He
wanted entirely eliminated the provision
that no company shall return to the
State If it withdraws because of legisla-
tion in Texas.
Mr. Cochran argued at length against
rate supervision of any kind by the State,
insisting that It has no more right to
regulate insurance rates than to fix the
price of lumber, flour, boots, shoes or
other articles. He cited the case of the.
Dallas Brewery goin^ out of the State
for its Insurance because the licensed
companies would not accept the business
under the restrictions and limitations
growing out of the present law. The State
lost the taxes on the business and the
licensed companies were deprived of the
premiums.
Mr. Cochran maintained that mutuals
and interlnsurance companies should he
included irt any law enacted and not ex-
empted as proposed by the hill under con-
sideration.
In criticising the methods of regulating
insurance in Texas lie said the State has
tried every scheme except one, and all
proved a disappointment and expensive
experiments. Because of tins he favored
trying the one exception, which would
sound amusing, y< t is the real solution,
and it is to treat the Insurance business
as a respectable vocation arid not regard
the insurance men as those who would
gouge the public and take advantage of
the people in an unjust manner. He said
the Legislature should say to the under-
writers, go out and make a fair tariff of
rates; place I hern on a business basis
with the warning that they would be on
trial until the next Legislature mee(8 and
would be dealt with according to their
conduct. If this was done, with the re-
peal of the antitrust law, tue companies
would gel down to a substantial business
basis, and the people and companies
prosper and get along together, declared
Mr. Cochran
YV. B. Walker, wholesale grocer, Aus-
tin, vigorously contended for the repeal
of the present law, saying It Is respon-
sible for the present intolerable condition,
his rate having been raised from 95 cents
to $1.9t). He said lie would not trust the
insurance companies five minutes with
the antitrust law repealed tor with It
out of the way the companies would eat
the people out of house and home. He
believed the present luw was written In
Dallas and all on one side with no pro-
tection for the policy holders. He charged
that all of the trouble wa.s started at
Dallas, when- the companies hold forth.
Ir was true some insurance had been
cancelled on his place because of ex-
posures, hut he easily placed it at the
low rales with other companies. He
praised the mutuals and regretted it was
not possible to get more insurance In
them.
Mr. Walker is opposed to any Insurance
man being on the board because lie did
not think such a man would he entirely
honest where the companies clashed with
the people A man conies from a coi
poration "and a corporation lias no more
soul than a frog." He said the fire rating
hoard law is a failure, tlr* same as thai
creating the State Purchasing Agent,
which Is a fraud.
The committee adjourned to f* o'clock
a. m tomorrow to hear \V. II Stacv of
Austin in behalf of the Texas Klre In-
surance Agents Association. He will be
the last ; pcaker and the committee will
report the hill tomorrow. Several amend-
ments have been prepared and will be
offered in th^ committee tomorrow, after
which the bill will be reported with the
amendments, which may be adopted.

Daily KxprpM AuKtir Bureau.
ACST1.N, Tex , Aug 4. The pros found
it necessary to bring the liquor regulation
hills out of Senate Judiciary Committee
No. 2 on minority reports, the antls Inn-
ing hud a majority of one vote at th'.s
morning's session, when all hut one of the
hills were disposed of. By mutual con
sent the hill prohibiting the drinkiu; of
liquor <»n the premises of social clubs
in prohibition districts was carried «r
until tomorrow. The pros would no, per-
mit the hills to he actually received by
the Senate after the morning call had been
concluded. The reports w not gotten
ready in time to he presented during the
morning call when the Chair readied com-
mittee reports, but Inter they we e fin
ished anil Chairman Harper of tin oni-
mlttee asked unniiii*ioiis consent to scud
In the reports, but was met with a prompt
refusal, led by Senator Terrell of Bowie,
who drew the hills. In the committee the
pros wanted the bills printed and the antis
objected, coupling with the motion for an
adverse report that the hills be printed iu
the Journal only. The significance of
these moves will he explained.
The antls are anxious to have the bills
come before the Senate at once in order
that they may he acted upon before the
Galveston convention promulgates Us
platform. The antls tuink they have six
teen Senators who will oppose the bills
acted upon by the committee today, which
would give them a majority of one In the
Senate and mean death to the measures.
Kurly action is desired In order that the
convention may have no opportunity to
endorse the bills before they are acted
upon by the Senate, for such endorse-
ment might embarrass some of the slxtc. u
Senators thought to he opposed to tile olll.
In inejhite adverse action Is desired on
those grounds, while the pros want the
hills to go over until after the convention,
hoping the convention may do something
which will cause a break from the ranks
of the sixteen.
To gain that postponement they wanted
the hills printed, which Is regular, but
which requires several days, and h\ send-
ing the reports over until tomorrow the
Idlls cannot he gotten up until Saturday,
hecuuse committee reports must lie over
one day unless the rule containing that
provision is suspended and a two-thirds
nte Is required to suspend it which the
eait not muster, twenty-one being
two thirds of I lie Senate Due or more
of the hills may come up Saturday and the
;intis '-<■ 111 < 1 force a session Moiwlay to coo
sider others, though it has been expected
that the solons would ::o to Galveston for
the convention, leaving Saturday night and
Sunday
There were hoiiic interesting passages
during the session of the committee sen-
ator Terrell of Howie made a point of or-
der at one stage of the proceed In "s and
immediately Senator Hudspeth challenged
It because Senator Terrell was not a
member of the committee, whereupon Sen
ator Sturgeon, a committeeman, adopted
it as his suggestion Senator Terrell Kept
asking for a "fair show" nt the hands of
the antls and* Senator lluds|f^th said:
"We are going to pull off the bridles and
turn you wide a loose You'll get all the
show you want.''
The vote was the same on all of tic
liquor hilt# Senators < ofer or Sturgeon
would move that the bill* he reported
favorably, and as a substitute Senator
Watson moved that they he rep -ru'ii ad-
versely and he printed in the Journal. The
substitute niotiun was adopted In each in-
stance by the following vote \ves
