ceptance of the tax was held up because
of the litigation between the State and
the company. The Attorney General

tre as receiver for the company, but since

dered Dorchester discharged the State is
able to accept the tax without compro-
mising itself.
This was decided upon late this even-
ing and a receipt will he furnished the

AN OLD AUSTIN BOY.
New York Official Hails From Texas
Capital.
Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 3.—The first an-
nual report of the Superintendent of
Weights and Measures of the State of
New York, in addition to its value in
showing the condition of the weights and
measures in common use by dealers, is
of more than usual interest from the
fact that Dr. Frits Reichmann, the
superintendent, is an Austin boy and re-
ceived his education in the Austin public
schools and the State University.
After graduating at the university Dr.
Reichmann took his Ph. D. at the Uni-
versity of Chicago. Later he was profes-
sor of physics ut the Western Reserve
University in Ohio, which position he re-
signed a few years ago to become ex-
pert designer of Instruments for the big
firm of W. & L. E. Ourle.v at Troy.
N. Y. Two years ago he was appointed
Superintendent of Weights and Measures
by the Governor of the State of New
York, with the authority of enforcing the
laws relative to the scales and measures
then In use throughout the State.
ACADEMY OF SCIENCE MEETS.
Two Able Papers Are Read by Mem-
bers.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 3.—The Texas
Academy of Science met tonight at tho
State University and the following papers
were read before the members: "The
Numerical Relation of the Sexes," Dr.
T. H. Montgomery; "Correct and Effi-
cient Education for the Negro," Prof. J.
12. Pearce.
Both of these addresses were of un-
usual interest, as the authors have made
special research In line with their lec-
tures. Dr. Montgomery has made a life-
long study of heredity and many funda-
mental results were announced in his
paper. Professor Pearce, in his lecture
on the negro question, based his beliefs
for a practical education of the negro
upon the anatomical difference in the
structure of the brain of the negro and
that of the other races.
After the close of the lectures many
short addresses along the same line
were made by members of the Academy.
WOULD WAIVE REQUIREMENTS.

Daily Express Austin Bureau.

given thirty days' additional time in
which to make the deposit.

has negotiations for the required invest-
ment pending which it was impossible to
conclude before the 31st, but that It is
the Intention of the company to make
the investments, however, not later than
January 31.
The application was set down for hear-
ing by the Commissioner January 20. at
the same time with all other applica-
tions for waiver which have been filed.
EXPECTS TO COME BACK.
Provident Savings Llfo Anticipates
Only Temporary Suspension.
Daily Express Austin Buresu.
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 3.—The Commis-
sioner of Insurance and Banking today
received the following letter from ths
actuary of the Provident Savings Life
Insurance Company, which was compelled
by the Insurance Department of New
York to cease writing new business some
weeks since.
"In accordance with the instructions
received some time ago from the New
York Insurance Department, we directed
our agents in your State and throughout
the country to discontinue writing new
business. In thsse circumstances I beg
to advise you of our withdrawal from
writing new business In your State
meantime. We expect that this will be
only a temporary suspension, and at an
early date ws may ask you to revive
our license.
"The principal reason for the action
by the Superintendent of New York lies
in a reappraisal of our real estate prop
ertles. These properties are exactly the
same as those which were appraised by
the New York Department less than two
years ago, and no marking up of their
values has since been made. A state-
ment of the findings of the examiners
will be sent you immediately their report
Is completed. I may state that in the
meantime we ars taking care of all the
obligations of the company, which hav«
been and will continue to be promptly
met."
The company has a Urge number ot
policy holders In this State, and can*
tinued In the State alter the Robertsoa
■law took effect.

AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 3.—The State Uni-
versity opened Its doors tnis morning for
tne winter term ana every train enter-
ing tne city hns been crowded with stu-
dents returning trom the Chrlstmae holl-
diu-g. r
Several hundred came in yesterday, and
by noon today only a small percentage
ot tno law students nod failed to reach
this city.
Tne prompt return of tne students was
brougnt about oy a ruling ot tne faculty
whereby all students were required to
register their names by t> o'clock this
atternoon or gutter a fine ot »3. The
penalty has had the desired ertect, and
as a result classes at tne college will
begin promptly at if o'clock Saturday
morning.
in addition to the old students, nearly
an of whom have returned, there will
Be at least lw matriculates lor tne win-
ter term. Tins number maKing entrance
will raise tne registration ot the uni-
versity to about l«m» regular students.
Work Has Been Efficient.
It Is reported that the work of the
students has been unusually proficient
during the fall term. Throughout the
last week the registrar's department has
been busy sending out the grodes to the
academic and engineering students, and
It is plainly apparent that this year's
class work reached a standard never be-
fore obtained. Out of the 1500 students
only about flrty-flve have made an ex-
traordinarily poor showing. These stu-
dents will In all probability bo advised
not to return to the college until better
prepared to carry out the university
courses of study. The majority of the
failures this season wore not through
neglect, but were probably brought about
by a poor preparation on the part of the
student while in the lower schools.
Last session with only about 1300
students, 120 were forced to wlthdrawlat
the close of the fall term, while this year,
with a registration of 1500. only 45 are
doubtful, and there Is a chanoe of several
of these being given a second trial. .
Owing to the crowded condition or the
college very heavy academic requirements
ure made of the students, but from the
results of the present year the students
are meeting them far better than the
lenient schedule of several years previous.

WILL COMPLETE STDDIES.
Chinese Girl Rescued From Slavery of
San Franciaco Chinatown Is
on Her Way Eaat.
Tsu Ne, a young Chinese girl from Ban
Francisco, acconjpanled by her guardian
and teacher, Miss Katherine Donlln,
passed through San Antonio laet night,
en route to Smith College, New York.
Tlfe Oriental maiden Is a graduate of the
mission schools In San Francisco and
Intends equipping herself for the position
of teacher by taking the course in the
Eastern school.
The story of the girl, as told by Miss
Donlln last night, Is a dramatic one.
When she was 9 years old Tsu Ne was
sold by her parents Into slavery. She
was being reared in the dives of China-
town when discovered by the white mis-
sionaries of the Presbyterian Chinese
Mission and rescued.
Miss Donlin has been a teacher in ths
mission school for fifteen years. She wag
one of the first to take up the fight to
liberate the Chinese women slaves in
Chinatown, and through her efforts
scores of the women and girls have been
rescued.
"Tsu Ne is our best pupil." said Miss
Donlln. "When we found her she was
a poor little child who seemed doomed
to a life of slavery. With the assistance
of the police we rescued her and placed
her In the schools. That was ten yesrs
ago, and she has studied hard since that
time to fit herself for the life ot a
teacher."
The Chinese girl was dressed In the
costume of her country and had the man-
ner and speech of a cultured American
girl.
"I am sorry that we can not stay any
longer In San Antonio," she said. "I
have read so much of the stirring history
of this old city, and 1 am sure that it
would prove Interesting. There Is a great
work to be done In improving the condi-
tions of Chinese women, both In this
country snd China, and the women of my
native land must be taught to assist in
the work. 1 intend to devote my life
to missionary work."
