THE SAN ANTONIO DAILY EXPRESS: THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 16, 1911
TO PROTECT
STREET CAR VESTIBULE BILL IS
PASSED BY SENATE.
Measure Much Mutilated and Curiously
Amended—Additional Civil County
Court Kill for Bexar County
Passed—Day's Routine.
Dally RxproM Austin Bureau^
AUSTIN, Tex., Fob. 15.—The Mayfleld
street car vestibule bill, called "because
there was no opposition to the measure."
passed to engrossment in the Senate thi.-*
morning, much mutilated and curiously
amended. Debate on this measure occu-
pied the entire forenoon session of the
Senate after the call, excepting for a few
purely local bills passed without com-
ment. The principal reason for the dis-
cussion was the attempt of Senator Col-
lins to engraft on the Mayfleld bill the
regulations as to airbrakes and center
nisles embodied in separate bills of his
own drafting, which aroused determined
opposition.
HOUSE RILLS PASSFD.
The demands of "House hill day" were
followed closely in the Semite this nfter-
noon and several Senate measures, with the
exception <>f merely i<><;ii hills, failed t<>
se< ure the necessary vote to suspend con-
sideration of House measures in their
favor attempted by their authors. A num-
ber of concurrent and Joint resolutions
originating in the lower house- such >is
the popul.'ir election of lulled States Sen-
nt< rs; the abolition of cotton futures gam-
bling bv exchanges; the appointment of a
Joint commission on the employers' liabil-
ity hill and other proposals embodying
constitutional amendments or acquiescence
of both houses for any purpose, were
ndoptori without debate or delay.
No question was raised on the House
resolution providing an investigation by
the Attorney General of the allowed "elec-
trical trust" in Texas; authorizing the in-
spection and investigation of the books
and affairs of the Southwestern Telegraph
and Telephone Company, tho Hell Tele-
phone Company and the Western Electric
Company; certain electric interests of the
Stone Wehster control, the General
Electric Company. Westprn Union and
Postal Telegraph Companies and other con-
cerns of this character The resolution w;is
adopted viva voce, without debate or dis
Bent.
An interesting and fnlrly personal skir-
mish on the daily adjournment versus
night sessslons proposition, antts for the
former and pros for the latter, was today
complicated by the Introduction by Sen-
ator Laftimore of the ngreeinent of sev-
enteen Senators fo meet nt night for the
remainder of the session In the form of a
resolution, and the objection of signers of
the agreement to the resolution process,
which resulted in President T>nv1dson re-
turning the document to Mr. T.attlmore
nn the view that certain Senators signed
Bti agreement., not a resolution, and ad-
Jrurnmont was taken after the usual
Bmonnt of bickering.
Rexar County secured the passage of Its
additional civil county court hill in the
pourse of the day, engineered by Senator
Real.
THE PAY'S ROUTINE.
Pill by Senator Mayfleld requirine
street cars be equipped with vestibules
to protect, motormen from inclement
weather between November! and March
lfi each year, was called out of regular
order. Amendment by Senator Meachuni
provided that suits for violation of the
act be brought in the county where of-
fense is committed, not In Travis County.
Senator Collins amended by providing
that after November 1, 1914, all street and
lnterurban cars must be built with center
aisles, and all double-truck cars must he
equipped with airbrakes, not including
horse and mule cars-this latter exemp-
tion applied to all sections of the act, by
Senator Welnert.
On this Collins amendment Senator
Murray made the point of order that it
was not germane to tho purpose of the
bill, and argued the point.
FIGHTS FOR AMENDMENTS.
Senator I,attimore objected to legislat-
ing for effect in 1914, as provided in the
Collins amendment. Senator McNcalus
contended at length for the amendment
as creating better treatment of the public
by the traction companies, the prevention
of accidents and the protection of pas-
sengers and crew iti inclement weather
by abolishing the running board.
Senator Heal commended the original
bill, but stated that a majorlty of his con-
stituents, especially in San Antonio, were
opposed to the amendment. He said that
the abolition of the running board, in
effect, did away with the open car, and
that for ten months in the year this car
was by far the more popular in his dis-
trict. The demand for a center aisle in
every kind of car he deprecated as un-
popular with the great mass of the people,
who prefer the open car principally for
Its freedom from crowding between the
Feats. Other Senators opposed the amend-
ment.
The Collins amendment was lost R to 21
Amendment by Senator Weinert then
excepted horse and mule cars from opera-
tion of the a^t, this feature in the Collins
amendment having been lost with the rest
of Its provisions, Senator Weinert with-
drew his amendment, when Senator
Meachum substituted a restriction of the
bill to electric railways. This latter
amendment was adopted without debate.
Several corrective and "freak" amend-
ments were offered most of which were
ruled out of order and Senator Vaughan
amended by confining the scope of the
bill to car operation between 0 a. m. and
5 p. m., which was adopted, and exempt
ing cars used in construction service. The
bill was then ordered to engrossment,
without roll call demanded.
The first business of the afternoon was
the House bill providing an additional
county court for Bexar, devoted to civil
business, called by Senator Real. Sena-
tors H. B. Terrell and Murray asked
that the bill be read, as It had not^ been
printed as required by rule of the Senate
In all cases except purely local inj-
ures, not involving the creation of a
court or any other matter of general
States interest. The committee report,
however, recommended that the bill be
not printed.
Directed by Senator Real, the bill was
advanced under suspension of the rules
and passed by unanimous vote—twenty-
seven Senators.
House concurrent resolution providing
for popular election of United States
Senators, through petition to Congress to
submit an amendment to the Constitu-
tion, was adopted unanimously without
discussion.
House bill (by McKinney), appropri-
ating $10,ooo for a monurne/it over tin
grave of Stephen F. Austin in the State
Cemetery, Austin, was passed by unani-
mous vote, without debate.
House concurrent resolution No. 13, to
prohibit gambling in cotton futures by
stock and cotton exchanges, and boards
of trade, by petition to Congress to pass
suitable laws, was adopted without de-
bate, and likewise concurrent resolution
No. 14. petitioning Congress to enact a
law requiring applicants for Federal
liquor licenses to make affidavit that, the
license is not to be operated in prohibi-
tion territory.
House concurrent resolution No. 9.
asking that the Attorney General investi-
gate the affairs of certain telephone and
electrical companies in the State, to de-
termine the existence of an alleged "elec-
trical trust," aroused neither comment
nor opposition, and was adopted unani-
mously on motion of Senator McNealus.
House bill No. fiO, exempting Starr
County from operation of the live stock
inspection law was finally passed at the
instance of Senator Willacy.
A commission charter for Laredo in
House bill No. 157, was finally passed on
call of Senator "Willacy.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
\ Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effectual
Cure for It.
Catarrh of the stomach hns long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
Sometimes with sour or watery rising,
n formation of gases, caustng pressure
on tin- heart and lungs and difficult
breathing, headaches, fickle appetite, nerv-
ousness and a geueral played-out, languid
feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and if the interior of the
gtomiich could be seen it would show a
slimy, inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to he readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to \ ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
«.f the stomach. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to I>r. Harlanson. the safest
and best treatment is to use, after ench
meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Asep-
tic Pepsin, a little Nux. (iolden Seal and
fruit acids. These tablets can now be
found at all drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Dyepepsia Tablets and not being
h patent medicine can be used with perfect
safety aud assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow their
regular use after meals.
The plan «»f dietiug is simply another
name for starvation, and the ufce of pre-
pared foods and new fangled breakfast
foods simply makes matters worse, as any
dyspeptic who has tried them known
As Dr. Bennett says, the only reason I
can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab-
lets are not universally used by every body
\>ho i< troubled in any wny with poor
digestion is bemuse many people seem to
think that because a medicine Is advertised
or is sold in drug stores or 1* protected
by a trade mark it must be a humbug,
whereas as a matter of truth any druggist
who is observant knows that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets have cured more people* of
catarrh of the stomach. Indigestion, heart-
burn. heart trouble, nervous prostration
and rundown condition generally than nil
the patent medicines and doctors' prescrip-
tions for stomach trouble combined.
Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets Is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
Indigestion catarrh of the stomach, bil-
iousness. sour stomach, heartburn and
bloating after meals

TO REGULATE WIRE COMPANIES
Williams of Mcl-ennan Introduces the
Biennial Measure.
l>al!y Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 15.-WTiliiams of
McLennan today Introduced the biennial
bill, regulating telephone and telegraph
companies.
This bill seeks to classify telephone
companies according to the population
of cities and towns, and to fix uniform
charges based thereon rather than upon
the class of service rendered. There are
eight classes running from populations
less than one thousarin to those of more
than seventy-five thousand.
The bill prohibits companies from
charging a higher rate of rental for ex-
change telephone service in any town or
city of a lower class In population than
Is charged for like service in any towTi
or city of a higher class so that a small
telephone system must meet the fares
of the larger systems while the abnor-
mality exist* of not recognizing the dif-
ference in value of service rendered by
a modern high priced plant and that
rendered by an old and out-of-date plant;
thus putting a ban on Improvement ami
extension of telephone service. The bill
prescribes a mileage basis system of
rates regardless of service in opposition
to the universal system of carriers of
charging according to the value of the
service rendered.
There are several hundred telephone
companies in Texas and a hot fight on
the bill, if reported, will he in order.

AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 15. There was a
spice of politics Injected Into the House
| proceedings this morning when Represeti-
] tative Cranke of Laredo wanted the body
to instruct the Texas members of Congress
to support' the Canadian reciprocity bill
being urged by President Taft. As the
House of Representatives voted yesterday
for the bill, with all but five Democrats
voting with the majority, and as Senator
1 Culberson has already announced his in-
| tention to support the measure, the con-
j current resolution was construed as a <11-
I rect challenge to Senator Bailey.
RAILEY MEN ACCEPT CHALLENGE.
Friends of the junior Senator accepted
the gauge thrown down and defeated the
proposition by a vote of .S2 to .'is. Repre-
sentative Broughton was present, but is
recorded as not voting.
Mr. Stevens of Liberty, author, with
Senator Mayfleld. of the bill to make the
Pierce-Fordyce Oil Company come to a
"show-down," led the cheer's of "Hurrah
for Bailey!" Among scenes of much con-
fusion and not a little enthusiasm the roll
call proceeded. There were more cheers
when the result was announced.
The House has a Bailey majority, but
there were men classed as anti-Baileyites
who voted with the friends of the "Gentle-
man from Gainesville."

TRAL MEASURE.
Pally Express Austin bureau
AUSTIN, Tex . Feb. lfi. The Katy- |
Texas Central consolidation bill has been |
introduced in the Legislature at last, k
was offered In the Senate and House to-
day by Representatives of Mcl>ennan
County. The House bill contains the
names of something like forty Represent-
atives, all pledged to support the meas-
ure.
It is well known the people living along
the line of the Texa* Central forced I he
Missouri, Kansas & Tex is management
to have the bill offered, or at h ast to j
consent to its introduction High offi-
cials of the Katy have felt and are said
to feel now that the time is inopportune
to try to rush the measure over the ob-
jections of the Governor.
Governor Colquitt has gone on record
repeatedly as saying legislation for rail-
road companies is as much of a violation
of "legislative rest and political peace"
as legislation against railroads is.
It is admitted on all sides all the pro-
posed railroad mergers would go through
with .-olors flying if the Governor did not
stand in their way. As In the case of
the Texarkana charter, the Legislature
may vote to pass all these measures and
thereby "put up the responsibility" to
somebody else again.

AUSTIN. Tex. Feb. 15.-The retail
merchants of the State are almost unani-
mous in the demand for the Legislature
to pass for their benefit the co-called
"bogus check" bill, which Is now before
both houses. v
The bill as drawn makes it a misde-
meanor for a person to give a cheek on
a bank when he has no funds therein
with which to pay the check when same
Is presented.
The bill is amply safeguarded to pro-
tect all persons who occasionally over-
draw, by allowing the maker of the check
thirty days in which to redeem same or
deposit sufficient funds to assure its pay-
ment.
Merchants and business men generally
in the larger cities of the Stale are con-
stantly harrassed by the worthless check-
givers, and they are asking the legisla-
ture for relief in this particular.
it is frequently stated that the mer-
chants onn protect themselves In these
matters without the aid of the Legisla-
ture. but the busy merchant with a store
full of people cannot take time to go to
the bank and present the check before
letting the prospective purchaser have the
is. besides the banks will not give in-
formation over the telephone as to
whether or not Jones or Smith has any
funds In the bank.
With the proposed law on the statute
books the merchant will feel reasonably
safe when he takes a check.
