Committee to Investigate Error in
Election Law Busy Compiling the
Testimony—Will Print Report.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, , Tex., April 5.—The special
committee of the House which was ap-
pointed at the recent session to investi-
gate the circumstances relating to the
error in the enrollment of section 120 of
the election bill are now employed in
compiling tlir great mass of testimony
which was given before it. When this
compiling process is completed the com-
mittee will formulate its conclusions
therefrom. The whole proceedings and
conclusions will bp published In the last
issue of the House Journal which will be
held open for that purpose.
No evidence was submitted to the com-
mitter' tending to show that, there was
any fraud connected with the enrollment
of the erroneous provision of the section
of the law in question and this fact will
be set forth in the report of the com-
mitter. It is probable that the commit-
tee will make recommendations for cer-
tain reforms in the rules regarding the
enrollment of bills so as to avoid all pos-
sibility of similar mistakes being made
in the future.

Some Opposition in Austin to Rebuild-
ing the Austin Darn as Proposed.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 5.—The proposi-
tion which was recently made to the City
Council by a New York construction com-
pany to rebuild the dam has uroused
widespread and-earnest discussion on the
part of the people of this city. There is
considerable opposition to the project
and some doubt is expressed as to
whether the city should enter into the
contract for the proposed improvement.
It is claimed by some that the Increased
use of the water of the Colorado River
find its tributaries above Austin may in
time deplete the flow to such an extent
that the dam at this place would be of
no service. It is also urged by others
that the proposition of the company
unreasonable in the amount of money
which it asks to be paid by the city for
the restoration of the dam and its opera-
tion lor a long term of years.

Al STIN. Tex., April 5.—The Supreme
Court this morning granted writs <>f
error in eight of the Spanish land giant
cases wherein the State of Texas had se-
cured judgments for the recovery of land
which judgments had been affirmed by
the Court of Civil Appeals for the Third
Supreme Judicial District.
In granting the writs the cases were
set for submission May -, and derisions
may be had in same before the <<jurt ad-
journs for tlx- summer vacation on the
last day of June. x.
Over 100,000 acres of land had been
awarded tin State in the Spanish land
grant suits, and the court of last resort
indicates that it is not entirely satisfied
with the judgments and will review same
on its own responsibility. Had the ap-
plications for writs of error been refused
it would have been an affirmance of the
judgments below in favor of the State,
now the defendants, the owners of
the land, will take heart and have an-
other show for retaining their property.
The style of the suits are shown in tlie
proceedings of the Supreme Court given
elsewhere.
How the Litigation
Came About at First.
All of the land is located in the coun-
ties bordering the Rio Grand* and title
is claimed under grants by Kings of
Spain. The State has claimed some of
the land because the grants were not of
record or in existence, others as being
defective, still more because of improper
locations and a large amount, of excess
over and above the amounts granted by
the Kings. The excesses were claimed
because i lie locating lines included more
land than the grants called for. but the
method of surveying in the wild country
in the earlier days was by basing on
mountain tops, hillocks, rivers, creeks,
canyons and arroyos.
In this way more land was set out
in the grant than was Included in the
lines located and made of record. How-
ever, the courts of Texas have held such
lines valid and refused to give judgments
in favor of the State for the recovery of
the amounts of the excesses. The au-
thorities cited for these judgments came
from the I'n it ed Srtates Supreme Court
in similar eases arising from California.
It was held that the boundless expanse
of country with the depredating Indians
and arid wastes could not be accurately
measured and that inasmuch as it was
not claimed in the days of it? locations
under the Spanfrh grants, the excesses
were not improper and that the* original
lines should prevail even if they include
more land than the Spanish Kings grant-
ed in exact figures.
GETS NEW PROPOSITION.

ter Offer to Austin on the Dam
Matter.

Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 5.—In the District
Court here John H. Dodd was acquitted
of -.he charge of assaulting with intent
to murder H. Larkins in this city last
November.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 5.—At the meeting
of the special committee this afternoon,
he Consolidated Construction Company
submitted an entirely new proposition for
he reconstruction of the dam. which is
far more reasonable and susceptible of
asier payments at the first glance.
Tii.; propisition Is to rebuild the dam
for $4,325,000, which shall be repaid in
fifty years at the rate of $86,500 a year.
The extension of time is ten years over
he old proposition, and the reduction in
annual payments is $13,500.
It** is thought by those familiar with
the situation that this proposition will
receive the hearty recommendation of
I he special committee, and when the mat-
ter goes to a vote on the 26tli of this
month the people will declare for its ac-
ceptance unanimously.
The income of the plant at present is
$lh*»,000 a year, and in two years it will
easily reach $200,000 a year. By makiriE
a payment of fSti.500 to the Consolidated
Construction Company there will be left
at the disposal of the city $1K?,500 out of
Which can be paid the operating ex-
penses of the plant, which will amount
to possibly $50,000 per year. This will
leave a balance for interest and sinking
fund on the outstanding bonded indebt-
edness amounting to $M.5<-0. which might
be considered clear profit on the deal.
The last proposition seems to those
who have familiarized themselves with
it to be both generous and practicable,
and one which the people of Austin can
not afford to turn down.
Mr. Briggs Hit last night. Before go-
ing. however, he authorized Mayor Shelly
to submit the foregoing proposition.

RAILROAD DOG'S GOODBYS.
Mack Bids Farewell to St. Louis Union
Station.
Out in the little cabin which lies among
the, tracks just outride of the Union sta-
tion sheid. where the yardmen get their
instructions for switching and making up
trains, a kind of a reception was held
Saturday. Most all of the yard men
manage11 to attend during the day. There
was a lot of talking, but no one seemed
very cheerful.
It was all on account of "Mack." He
is the dog. you know, that has been liv-
ing around the yards for half a dozen
years. He jumps trains, making trips
out of the city, just as if he enjoyed be-
ing a railroad dog. They know him up
there as well as they know the yard men
and engineers.
Friday afternoon Mack gave up his old
life and went to live on a farm. It
wasn't because he was tired of living
around the yards and being called a good
fellow by every railroad man that ever
made his acquaintanec.
It was only beeause Mack's owner left
the railroading business and, of course,
Mack wasn't going to desert him. Grant
Hammond was foreman of the Frisco
freight house at Eighth and Gratiot
Streets for a dozen years. Nine years
ago he picked up Mack. The dog had
good blood In him and so Hammond kept
him.
I-u.-t we#>k Hammond resigned to leave
the service for good. The yard men
asked him incredulously if he meant to
take Mack. Hammond said ho was going
to take the dog with him to live on a
farm in the country.
Hammond led Mack away last Thurs-
ay and took him out to where he is stop-
ping in the city. But Mack didn't under-
stand that it was for good at first, and
as lie hadn't said bood-bye to all of his
old friends he went back to the yards
Friday afternoon.
animal had human intelligence. He gal-
loped over the yards to where the differ-
ent men were working, amd after stand-
ing around and wagging his tall bravely
for a time, he went on his rounds. He
ended up at the cabin, where J. W. Fos-
ter, the trainmaster, said bood-bye. Fos-
ter was one of Mfctck's best friends. This
good-bye was longer than the rest. Just
as dark was comining on Mack galloped
away.
Saturday morning the men received
word front Hammond that Mack had re-
turned to his master'<t house and that hj
was going to leave for the country in a
few days.
Mack has the lines of a pointer. His
coat is white with great blark spots. His
eyes constitute the chief interest of his
face. They are gray and wondering and
look at you just as if the animal were
trying to figure what kind of a chap you
itally are.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

HAPPY RESULTS OBTAINED.
By the U*e of the New Scalp Antiseptic.
It wouldn't take long to number th«
hnlrs in tho heads of some people, tho
reason being they haven't many to num-
ber. In most Instances, however, the
fault is their own. A germ at the root
soon plays havoc with the most luxur-
iant growth and causes it to fade and
fall out. A remedy for this has recently
been discovered, called Newbro's Hcrpi-
clde, that acts by destroying the germ
that does the damage, besides removing
all impurities front the scalp. In addi-
tion it permits new life and vigor to en-
ter the scalp and happy results are suro
to be obtained from its use. Try it. Sold
by leading druggists. Sentl 10c in stamps
for sample to The Herpicide Co., Detroit.
The trainmen say it was just as if the Mich. Bexar Drug Co., Special A*«nt».
