NEW PHARMACY
LAW EXPLAINED
BY POLLARD
Opinion Is Furnished by the As-
sistant Attorney General in
Answer to an Inquiry.
LEGISLATURE
MADE PUZZLE OF
MUSTANG ISLAND
LICENSES ARE GOOD
FOR ONLY TWO YEARS
Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tq*.. July 21.—Assistant At-
torney General Claude Pollard yesterday
prepared an analysis of the new pharmacy
law. which was effective July 12. The
opinion was furnished to J. K. Taylor
of Briggs. The construction of the law
in substance follows:
"It shall be unlawful for any person
not licensed as a pharmacist to conduct
or manage any pharmacy or similar in-
stitution or to keep exposed for sale at
retail any drugs or poisons except as oth-
erwise provided. No one unless licensed
as a pharmacist shall dispense any drug
on physician's prescription. A druggist
who permits anyone not licensed as a
pharmacist to work for him in the dis-
pensation of drugs shall be deemed
guilty.
"Exceptions include the following: Any
man may conduct a pharmacy if he has
a licensed pharmacist in his employ; a
legally registered practitioner may com-
pound his own prescriptions; any one
may deal exclusively In wholesale drugs
and poisons; non-poisonous goods may be
sold at retail including patent and pro-
prietary medicines in unbroken packages
and including poisons sold for use in art
and as insect killers, etc.; in such cases
the package must have printed thereon
the word poison.
"The act makes four classes: persons
heretofore registered by examiners or dis-
trict board, proprietors and employes
actively engaged in preparation of physi-
cians' prescriptions in towns of less than
1000 inhabitants, and proprietors or em-
ployes of proprietors who shall become
engaged during the next six years. Those
who shall hereafter desire to be licensed
as pharmacists, and those who shall
hereafter desire to be licensed as as-
sistant pharmacists.
"The first class must present proof of
their registration by district board and
pay $1 within ninety days, otherwise $5
will be charged. The second class are
exempt from examination and are en-
titled to a certificate authorizing them
to practice in towns of less than 1000
people. The $1 and $5 clauses are the
same in this case as in the case above.
The third class must file an affidavit
with the board setting forth their ex-
perience and where they studied, etc. He
must appear and stand an examination.
He must not be less than 21 years of age
and must have been licensed as an as-
sistant pharmacist for not less than two
years prior to his application. Either
this or he must convince the board that
he is a graduate of some reputable school
of pharmacy or that he has had four
years practical experience under the di-
rection of a pharmacist. School training
and practical experience may be com-
bined in computing the four years. If the
applicant falls to pass the examination
another examination within six months
will cost the applicant nothing.
"The fourth class must have two years
experience and must pay $2.50 to stand
the examination."
Licenses are good for two years. The
board may refuse a license to immoral
persons or persons guilty of a felony or
addicted to the use of liquors, etc.
Licenses may be granted without ex-
amination to persons who have been
granted licenses to practice in other
States, provided he shows that the stan-
dard in the nther State was as high as
in this. Certificates of license must be
conspicuously posted in places of busi-
ness.
Thirty days before the expiration of a
license the pharmacist must file an ap-
plication for renewal with a fee of $1.
The board shall consist of five per-
sons licensed as pharmacists who are
actively engaged in the practice of
pharmacy and shall have been so en-
gaged for five years. They shall hold
office for two years. Examination meet-
ings must be held at least once every
four months, and such additional meet-
ings as may be necessary.
Due notice of each meeting shall be
given. Three members shall constitute
a quorum. One member may issue a i
temporary certificate on satisfactory evi-
dence that the applicant is qualified.
Heavy penalties are provided for any
violation of the act. The board has not
yet been appointed. The Governor has
until September 1 to appoint one.
No Provision Made for Money
Realized From Its Sale, Treas-
urer Sparks Discovers.
CAUSE COMPLICATION
IN CARRYINii OUT LAW
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., July 21.—In another in-
stance the State officers are endeavoring
to discover the intent of the legislation
in a law passed by the Thirtieth Legisla-
ture. This time the bill authorizing the
sale of Mustang Island seems to be the
sufferer, and while the mutilation of the
bill will probably not prevent the sale
of the island, as the Legislature intended,
it is likely to cause complications as far
as carrying out the provisions of the law
are concerned.
Section 5 of the law authorizing the sale
ot Mustang Island reads:
"All proceeds of sales of land under
the provisions of this act may be pat-
ented at any time after payment of all
purchase money, and interest thereon, if
any, and proof of compliance with the
conditions of sale, settlement and occu-
pancy thereof approved by law."
State Treasurer Sam Sparks was the
first to notice the break in this law, and
he found it the day $80!) was sent him,
that amount being due the State after
the preference right claimants on Mus-
tang Island had b*en settled with by the
General Land Office. He studied the
law to find out to what fund this money
belonged. There is nothing in the law
to show to what fund the money belongs,
although it was probably the intention
of the Legislature to name a fund to
which the money should be deposited.
The State Treasurer had never heard
of "proceeds" being "patented," as the
law provided. He took the bill to the
General Land Office, where he was told
only land tracts could be patented and
that there was evidently a break in the
law.
Section 5 of the law, as it stands, means
nothing, and might as well be stricken
out.. jVurther than that it will hamper
the General I/and Office in the sale of
land, for there is no fund to which the
proceeds from the sales ean be placed.
The money, it is believed now, will have
to be deposited to a special fund and held
in the State Treasury until another ses-
sion of the Legislature, when it can be
disposed of.
This is but one of many defects which
have been found in the laws passed by
the Thirtieth Legislature. Some of the
defects were found by the executive de-
partment In time to be sent back to the
Legislature to be corrected.
A. M. Barton, the Governor's private
secretary, said last evening this error in
the Mustang Island law nad been dis-
covered some time ago by the executive
department but after it was too late to
send it back to the Legislature for correc-
tion.

FIRST REVIEW WILL
BE HELD TODAY
Special Telegram to The Express.
i CAMP MABRY, Tex., July 21.—Gov.
Thomas M. Campbell paid his first visit
to the camp late this evening. He is
much pleased with the camp, stating he
had wished and intended to have stayed
here a whole week, where he could have
rested and slept away from official cares
and troubles.
He said, however, he had made ar-
rangements to speak at other places,
which would prevent his so doing, llo
premised General Newton to come out
again tomorrow and spend several hour*.
His visit this evening was informal and
unofficial.
Tomorrow a salute will be fired In his
honor. He then may participate in the
first review to take place since the pres-
ent camp was established.
He was accompanied by Hon. Wiley
M. Imboden and rode in an automobile.
Col. Oscar C. Guessaz arrived this
evening from San Antonio.
About two thousand visitors came to
the camp today to see the troops. The
shuttle trains to and from the camp
were loaded throughout the day. The
concerts by the four military bands were
the principal feature today. The greater
part of the afternoon was devoted to
entertainment of the visitors.
The concerts down town so far have
been a failure. It had been intended
that the Austin musicians should alter-
nate with the military bands in giving
concerts down town, but the former re-
fused to participate because the soldier
musicians are not union players.
The drill work will begin tomorrow al-
though this feature of the encampment
will be light this year. More time will
be devoted to social features.
MONUMENT TO O, P. MORTON.

State House.
Oliver Perry Morton, the grandson of
Governor Morton, 8 years old, will pull
the string that will unveil the monument.
An Imposing military pageant in the
form of a monster parade will precede the
unveiling exercises. In the evening a
big camp fire will be held at Tomlinson
Hall, at which addresses will be made
by Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks.

WEEK WAS FAVORABLE.
Cotton Planters in Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi Are Contented.
NEW ORLEANS, La., July 21.—The
Picayune w'll say tomorrow:
A favorabl? week has been experienced
by cotton planters In Louisiana and the
southern half of Mississippi, according
to reports of the Picayune correspond-
ents. Sufficient rainfalls and the rapidly
maturing crops received the benefit.
Cotton is blooming freely and the fruit-
ing process is all that could be desired.
Complaint is still made in the Re,i River

ficial test has Been made.
MILITIA KEEPS TOWN QUIET.
Hahnville Seemingly Has Lost Desire
to Lynch Kidnapers.
HAHNVILLE, La., July 21.—Following
the excitement attendant upon attempts
to lynch the Italian prisoners held in
the St. Charles Parish jail, Hahnville
was quiet today. Three companies of
State militia still guard the men and
women recently convicted of murdering
the kidnaped Lomana child and t» 11
signs of violence have now passed.
As the jury brought in a verdict of
guilty, without capital punishment, it
will be necessary for the Judge of the
Court to pass sentence of life imprison-
ment, which will probably be done when
court convenes tomorrow.
Two more Italians, Leonardo Gebbia
and his sister Nicollna Gebbia, remain
to be tried on the same charge. They
are held here with tlie Italians convicted
here last week and their trial will 02
taken up tomorrow.

"Heavens! ' she cried. "He has foozled

No Real Change.
Comptroller Metz of New York said
the other day of a bill that he disliked:
"1 object to this bill because It would
accomplish nothing. It would make no
real change. It would be like the case
ol' the actor and the canal boat captain:
• There was onco upon a time an actor
who, after an enforced idleness of two
months, was lucky enough to secure an
engagement ;n a town twenty-five miles
a v. ay.
■ The caso was a hurry-up one. The
actor had to reach th*> distant town that
night. If he failed to arrive then his
part we uld be asrigned to s »meone else.
•Well, the man patched his worn boots
with patent thread, pinned up his few be-
longings in a newspaper and set out in
the early morning on loot alnng the tow-
path. He had only a few coppers, hence
the train was an impossibility.
"Hut after the poor fellow had cov-
ered some six or seven miles his boots
gave out. blisters rose on ills feet, fa-
tigue overcame b'm and. in despair, he
throw himself on the grass beneath a
tree.
"As he lay there in a hitter mood a
canal boat hove in sight. It drew near
slowly and an idea seized the actor.
" 'Captain,' he shouted, rising hurried-
ly. 'Captain, pull up, for the love of
heaven.
" Wall, wot d'ye want'." said the cap-
tain, as hf stepped the boat.
"'Captain,' said the ict>r, 'I have to
get to Quag tonight to play second heavy
in ' The Evil That Men Do. ' 1 am foot-
sore and weary and can walk no fur-
ther. If you will assist me I will work
my passage.'
"The captain gave the actor a kindly
nod.
" 'Right y'are,' he said. 'Lead the
hoss.'
' 'Thank goodness/ cried the actor, 'I
am saved.' "
The Aged Babe.
W. H. Trimmer of Moline. Fla., says
there are no happy faces in New York
Mr. Trimmer, an aged, healthy, cheerful
man, visited New York last month, and
the strained, worried look of the Ntw
Yorkers shocked and dlspltMsed him.
"You live too fast," Mr. Trimmer said >
to a reporter. "That is your trouble,
fast living. Your very children have an
aged air. Why—? He'gave a ioud laugh
"Did you ever hear about ihe N-w
York child and the christening? No?
Then listen.
"There was a young couql-; m the East
Side that postponed the christening of
their first born till the little fellow was
three years oid.
"He was of course, very for threo.
He had gotten about a iot. In snort; he
was a New Yorker.
"And the morning of the christening,
•,n the hushed and crowded church, when
ine clergyman took the white robed babe
in his arms and sprinkled its small face
plentifully with water. It grimaced and
spluttered, and shouted up angrily in the
giod priest's face:
" 'Hey, cheese it. will ye? If you do
that agin, I'll biff ye one." '
The Lady and the Story.
Quanah Parker, the millionaire chief
of the Comanches, was discussing In
Guthrie a new Indian bill.
"The bill is no good," said the chief.
"It would not have any effect. It re-
minds me of a young French lady in
Washington.
"I was dining in Washington at an
ambassador's house, and this young lady
was the only female guest. An Italian
duke wanted to tell a sto»-y, but he hesi-
tated.
" 'My story,' he said, 'is a very good
one. but it is rather low in the neck, and
before the young lady—'
"But she laughed and interrupted him.
" 'Oh. don't mind me,' she said. 'I'll
shut my eyes. Go on.' "
Vanity.
Apropos of vanity, Secretary Root told
at Yale about a politician who, the day
before lie was to make a certain speech,
sent, a 41-page report of It to all tho
papers. On page 20 appeared this para-
graph:
"Hut the Iptair grows late, and I must
close. ( No, no! Go on! Gc on!')"
Living Death.
"The late Senator Morgan," said a
resident of Selma, "was a keen nature
student, and nature faking was as ab-
horrent to him as to the greatest per-
sonages in the land.
"I onco ^aw Senator Morgan throw
down a magazine with a sneer.
" 'Another nature fake,' he exclaimed.
'Why, these things are as absurd as—
as absurd as—'
"And then he laughed and said that it
reminded him of an address that he onco
heard an absent-minded missionary make.
" 'In China,, dear friends,' said the mis-
sionary, 'human life is regarded as of but
slight value. Indeed, if a wealthy China-
man is condemned to death, he can
easily hire another to die for him; and
1 believe many poor fellows get their
living by thus acting as substitutes.' "
It Looked Good.
"At a tea," said a Washington woman,
"the late Julia Magruder told us a storv
about a little girl whom she once took
out to luncheon.
"At the luncheon's end Miss Magruder
handed her waiter a $20-blll, and the
man brought back on a plate a great
mound of greenbacks and silver
"The little girl looked at the huge
mound of change longingly.
" 'If you please, Miss Magruder,' sho
said, 'I'll have a plate of that, too.' "
The Legal Fare,
Ambassador Bryce, at a dinner in Ur
bana. III., gave a young lady some tips
on European travel.
"And above all." he said, "don't fail
to tip your cabman liberally. Hansoms
and four-wheelers would be cheap In
London if one only paid the legal fare
for them, but he who tries to pay the
legal fare—well, he doesn't try it more
than once.
"One day I saw an oldi lady stop a
hansom, look up at the driver, and say
timidly:
" 'Driver, I want to go to Ludgate Cir-
cus. I see by tli<^ book that the legal
fare is two shillings. If I give you three
will you proniiso not to swear at me
afterwards?' "
The Sound From the Sack.
Dr. G. Stanley Hall, the president of
Clark University, thinks that the higher
education of women Is one of the causes
of race suicide.
In the discussion of his theory Dr. Hall
said recently in Worcester:
"I hear many arguments to the effect
that higher education has an opposite ef-
fect to that which I claim for i, uut look
around you, consider the college worn* n
you know, and tell me if you don't find
all these arguments futile.
They are futile arguments because the
actual truth confounds them. Before the
truth they have .he same round—"
Dr. Hall smiled.
"before the truth," he went on, "they
have the same absurd sound as came
from the sack.
"You must know that there was once.
h<>re in Worcester, a very kin.l and chari-
table man, a grocer. The grocer did not
believe in prisons, and indeed it was said
that he was not averse to shielding crimi-
nals from justice.
"Well, one evening. Just as he was
about to close his shop, a man. tare head-
ed and rags tore into the place.
"The grocer looked up from his day
book at the trmbllng, panting figure.
" 'Well?' he said.
" 'Save me. boss,' cried the ether. 'A
cop's on me trail. If he fetches me it
means ten years.' Just then ;he sound
of running was heard, and the sound
arrow louder and louder. 'Holy smoke,
bos?, that's him now," said the man.
He must ha' saw me come in here.
Wot'11 I do:'
" 'Get in that sack,' said the grocer,
Quickly.
"And the man leaped into a huge sack,
rind the grocer tad just ^»tten it tied
up and had resumed his work again when
the policeman entered.
" 'A thief came in here,' said the police-
man.
"'No' said the grocer.
'Well,' said the other, 'I'm groin' to
search the place, anyhow.'
" 'All right. Go ahead.'
'And the policeman searched and
searched, hut he found nothing.
" 'Hold on, though.' he said at the
end. 'What's this hero In this seek?'
'That?' said the grocer, ejuietly. 'Oh,
that's broken glass.'
'"i he policeman swung back his heavy
stick and hit the sack a stout blow.
And immediately from its Interior a
faint, high, thin voice said softly:
" 'Tinkle, tinkle.' "
No, Not as a Rule.
George P. Angell, Boston's brilliant and
powerful defender of animals from
cruelty, was talking about nature faking.
"My friend Will Long Is no nature
faker," he said, "but I admit that many
of our myriad nature writers are. These
men's idea of a lie seems too closely to
resemble that of a little boy I know.
"The boy"s teacher said from her desk
one afternoon:
" 'I want every pupil who has never
told a lie to hold up his hand.'
"There was a doubtful pause. Two or
three hands were raised. Then my little
friend piped out:
" 'Teacher, is it a lie if nobody finds
it out?' "
The Ladies.
"Mark Twain," said a Chicagoan,
"crossed the Atlantic with me on the
Minneapolis last month, and his conver-
sation made the captain's table very gay.
'The ladies continually encircled the
humorist, and the last night on board he
proposed a toast in their honor.
" The ladles.' he said, raising his g1ft0S
and bowing. 'The ladies—second only to
the press in dissemination of news.' "
