DATA OF GINS
Is Sought by State Department of
Agriculture.
AUTHORITATIVE REPORTS
And to Prevent Dissemination of
False Estimates Is Object of the
Texas Cotton Bureau,
Declares Kone.
AUSTIN, Texas, June 30.—The State
department of agriculture Is today ad-
dressing letters to the county clerks of
the State requesting assistance in the de-
partment's efforts to secure the name and
address of every individual, firm or cor-
poration operating a gin in the State. The
department sent each clerk in the cotton
belt a list of the gins in his county, as
shown by the records now in the posses-
sion of the department, asking that this
list be verified by comparison with the
records in the clerk's office, to see if any
gin has been missed or overlooked.
In his letter, Commissioner Kone says:
"It will be greatly to the advantage of
the farmers and to all the people of Tex-
as for the State department of agricul-
ture to issue correct reports of cotton
ginned during the coming season, as
there will be made, as heretofore, a very
strong effort to circulate false reports
that will enable buyers to purchase cot-
ton at a less price than it should bring.
"The object of the law providing for co-
operation by the department of agricul-
ture, county clerks and ginners in getting
up cotton reports by the cotton bureau
of this department is to prevent this in-
justice by issuing reports that will be ac-
cepted as authoritative. If the reports
are Imperfect the fact will very soon be-
come known, and they will have an in-
jurious rather than a beneficial Influence."
2000 WILL TAKE EXAMS.
Many Teachers Attending State
Summer Normal Institutes.
(Houston Post Special.)
AUSTIN, Texas, June 30.—State Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction Bralley
stated this afternoon that fifty of the
State summer normal institutes will hold
examinations July 5 to 8 and that ap-
proximately 2000 teachers will take the
examinations for State summer normal
certificates. There are nearly 5000 teach-
ers attending these institutes.
This is the first year when it has been
required that each instructor in the in-
stitutes shall hold at least a first grade
certificate and when each faculty was
required to have a specialist in primary
methods, and when it was required that
no person under 16 years of age should
be permitted to take the examination for
a summer normal certificate.
Kxaminations in the reamining sixtv-
Bix summer normal institutes will be held
July 26 to 2ft. The board of examiners
will convene in Austin July 19. W. S.
Doughty of Man in is president of the
i.ofo-'i ar>d E. O McNew of Mineral Wells
is secretary.
HAWKINS HAS AUTHORITY
To Refuse Permit to Companies Re-
insuring'Texas Marine Risks.
(Houston Post Special.)
AUSTIN, Texas, June 30.—Assistant
Attorney General Leddy today furnished
Corjimissioner of Insurance and Banking
Hawkins with a ruling wherein it la
held that the commissioner is authorized
to refuse to grant a renewal permit to
do business in Texas to a foreign com-
pany which sets forth under oath in its
annual statement that it has reinsured
Texas marine risks with companies
which were not authorized to do busi-
ness in Texas at the dates of such rein-
surance.
It was further held that it makes no
difference whether the offending com-
pany expresses a willingness afterward
to reinsure all such business in a com-
pany authorized to do business in Texas,
and that such a company should be de-
nied a renewal of its permit for one year.
Mr. Leddy based his ruling upon ar-
ticle 3075, Revised Statutes, as amended
by chapter 30 of the general laws of the
Twenty-ninth legislature.
TEXAS HAS BEEN DIVIDED.
Six Districts for Developing Inter-
est in Advisory Code.
(Houston Post Special.)
AUSTIN, Texas, June 30.—According to
a plan announced some time ago the
State board of health has divided Texas
ir.to six districts for the purpose of hav-
ing a member of the board to devote his
attention to the promotion of the ad-
visory code in a special district. The
fioiowing members of the board will take
up with the proper officials the advisa-
1 .lity of adopting the code, rciying main-
ly upon correspondence: South and East
Texas, Dr. J. M. O'Farrell of Richmond:
Middle Texas, Dr. H. W. Cummings of
Hearne; North Texas. Dr. F. T. Burnett
of Seymour; West Texas. Dr. Boyd Cor-
nick of San Angelo; Southeast Texas, Dr.
J. E. Gilchrist of Cuero.
This new enthusiasm in support of the
advisory code follows a period of de-
pression owing to the neglect of the city
councils, when it was thought that the
L-oard would finally abandon the idea of
uv-ging the adoption of the code.
LAND PAYMENTS REPORT
Submitted by State Treasurer to
Comptroller Stephens.
(.Houston Post Special.)
AUSTIN, Texas, June 30.—State Treas-
urer Sam Sparks today made to Comp-
troller Stephens his monthly report, show-
ing amounts paid into the treasury for
lands during the month ending June 30.
The total amount that goes to the avail-
able funds is $35,834.38; the amount that
goes to the permanent school fund is $67,-
870.88. These totals are much smaller
than for preceding months on account of
the fact that all interest on lands was
due November 1. and the only reason
such funds now come into the treasury
!s that many persons have delayed until
threatened witli forfeiture the payment
of interest on their holdings.
Land Commissioner Robison stated yes-
terday that he has sent to the county
clerks lists of those in arrears as to in-
terest on their lands, and that he expects
to begin declaring forfeitures within a
reasonable time after the clerks have
received the lists of delinquents.
State Treasurer Sparks' report shows
the following figures;
Public school, purchase first payment-
Permanent $8876.63.
Public school, open accounts—Available
$27,433.50, permanent $57,808.45.
Public school, rentals—Available $805.31.
University, open accounts—Available
$7513.88.
Deaf and dumb asylum, open accounts-
Available $67.05, permanent $1061.
Blind asylum, open accounts—Availa-
ble $14.64, permanent $124.80.
CENSUS FIGURES ARE VITAL,
<xovernor Would Obtain Them for
Division of County Offices.
(Houston Post Special.)
AUSTIN, Texas, June 30.—Governor
Campbell will write to the census depart-
ment at Washington asking for official
i eturns as soon as possible in order to
Diiow certain counties to separate the
offices of sheriff and tax collector, dis-
trict and county clerk, which pairs of
offices in counties of less than 10,000 in-
habitants are held by one man. The
law allows counties of more than 10,000
to separate these offices.
If ir.c reports of the Federal census
department are received at once the
names of candidates for the new offices
can be p.aced on the ticket at the pri-
mp ries. Following are the counties in-
terested': Jones, Walker, Hardeman,
Haskell. Wichita. Tom Green, Hood,
Clav, Sabine, Goliad, Gillespie, Mills,
Liberty, Wilbarger, Potter, Runnels and
Bee.
ANOTHER INSURANCE PROBE.
License of El Paso Company to Do
Business Questioned.
(Houston Post Special.)
AUSTIN, Texas, June 30.—Having not-
ed in the El Paso Morning Times of June
26 that the El Paso Life Insurance com-
pany advertised that it had procured a
charter and is taking conditional appli-
cations for Insurance, and having failed
to find in the records of his office any-
thing showing that said company has ob-
tained a charter as advertised, Commis-
sioner of Insurance and Banking Hawkins
today addressed a letter to the county
attorney of El Paso requesting him to as-
certain if that company is actually doing
business.
The commissioner will institute legal
proceedings against the company if It be
found that it has been operating in vio-
lation of 'he law requiring that all in-
surance business shall he transacted un-
der a properly authorized charter.
— I

HOUSTON PRODUCE POINTS
General Receipts Rather Light, but
Demand Was Good—Fourth
Rush Starts Today.
The usual lull prevailing on the first of the
month existed in a full measure along the Row
yesterday, and as a result the merchants were
given plenty of time, especially during the aft-
ernoon, to prepare for the Fourth of July rush
that is expected to begin today.
General receipts were rather light yesterday
and the demand for produce, taking the general
run, was about the same.
Peach receipts were lighter than usual. This
was due to the fact that the tail end of the
season is now at hand, and the Mamie Ross va-
riety is about played out. They sold yesterday
at 50 to OOc.
Lemons are still in the air, and there ap-
pears to be no chance for a drop in price,
,They ara still going at H.00 per crate. Desel-
Bcettcher received two cars of them and are
expecting another car in a day or two. The
demand is exceptionally heavy.
New Irish potatoes are in heavy demand and
the supply is liberal. The stock is good and
they are going well at 75c. The old stock is
about cleaned up, and what remains is. bciiig
sold to the restaurants at SOc.
Chickens are still being liberally supplied.
The demand is good. The prices remain about
the same as they have been during the past few
dcys
Oranges are plentiful, and they are selling
rapidly. The stock is good. Prices range front
3.50 to 3.75.
Some nice Arkansas snap beans were offered
at 40 to «0c per box yesterday on the Row.
The stock is fine.
Gus Japhet received a nice car of bananas.
They are about the same price—3 and 3J/zc.
Dissen & Schneider received a carload of
fire Texas tomatoes from Nedra, They re-
ceived also a few Crystal Wax onions that are
selling at 3%c.
Plums are rather plentiful. The stock is
nice and they are going at 50 to 75c per four-
basket crate.
Baldwin & Cargill had some very nice El-
berta peaches on display yesterday. They are
among the first of this variety to reach the
Houston market this year. They sold at 85c to
1.00.
There are a few strawberries still coming in.
The price on them is about 1.00 to 1.50.
Good cantaloupes are selling at 35 to SOc per
basket.

New Orleans Rice Market.
(Houston Post Special.)
NEW ORLEANS, June 30.—There was no
trading in the rough rice market. Offerings
were confined to such lots as came out of
store, and in this direction the supply may
have been said to have been on meager lines.
The mills showed little disposition to take hold.
Official prices were unchanged.
In the market for clean the inquiry scent 1
to incline rather to the lower grades and
screenings and brewers grades were in request
and quite scarce in offerings. On extra fancy
Japans the inquiry also ran rather actively,
with the market practically bare of supplies.
Official prices were unchanged.
Receipts from country mills were 1546
pockets.
The receipts were 1546 pockets of clean.
The sales were 1246 pockets of clean (1115
Honduras and 930 Japan).
