ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE INVESTIGATION OF McGABGHEY.
Now Witnesses Testify but No New Faots
Oomo Out—The Senate Passes the Dallas
Criminal Court Bill
Austin, Tox.f April 3.—The eighty-fourth
day of tho session found tho following sena-
tors prosont: Atleo, Agnow, Boren, Bowser,
Browning, Crowley, Dean, Douglass, Greer,
Hutchison, Imboden, Jester, Kearby, Law-
hon, Lowis, McComb, Pressler, Smith, Simp-
son, Stoele, Sway no, Tips, Woods, Yoakum
and McKinnoy.
Coinmitte reports wero received, i i
Mr. Jester offered the resolution mentioned
in Sunday's News providing for adjournment
on Thursday, April 14.
Mr. Hutchison opposed the resolution in de-
claring it to bo the unwritten law that a legis-
lature should not sit longer than ninety days.
There was no unwritten law in the subject.
The constitution provided that tho legislature
shall sit until all important business is dis-
posed of.
Mr. Jester insisted that it was the unwritten
law, and that one-third of tho members came
here with the idea that the legislature could
not sit longer than ninety days.
Mr. Smith opposed tho resolution beoause
the senate had on several occasions adopted
such concurrent resolutions and tho houee had
paid no attention to them whatever.
Mr. Simpson offered as a substitute a reso-
lution requesting tho house to return tho ad-
journment resolution of the senate adopted
on March 22. Adopted. YeaB, 13; nays, 10.
Tho chair laid boforo the senato the bill
creating a separate criminal court for Dallas
county.
Mr. Steele announced his opposition to the
bill for tho reason that- Fort Worth and San
Antonio would next want a criminal court.
Mr. Bowser read memorials from tho grand
jury of Dallas county, from the county attor-
ney and bar association setting forth the ne-
cessity for a criminal court, and read statistics
to show the overburdened condition of the
docket.
Mr. Agnow offered a substitute for the bill,
a bill making a criminal judicial district of
Dallas and Tarrant counties. Ho argued that
Dallas county should not have additional judi-
cial machinery on tho ground of population.
His judicial district had 97,000 population and
Dallas county 07,000. He took the ground
that the necessity for courts must be based on
population, taxable values, etc.
Mr. Lewis thought it was poor economy to
weaken tho judicial arm of tho government
by withholding tho necessary courts. Ho fa-
vored the separate court because it was neces-
sary.
Mr. Smith favored tho substitute.
Mr. S wayne said his conscience would not
allow him to support the substitute. He then
launched out into a two minute Bpoech about
the grandeur and enterprise of Fort Worth.
Mr. Bowser showed that there was no neces-
sity for additional court facilities in Tarrant
county, which with loss than two-thirds of tho
population of Dallas county had two district
courts.
Mr. Yoakum favored the substitute because
unless it prevailed Tarrant county would bo
on hand at the next legislature asking for
another court.
Mr. Steele favored the substitute. Ho did
not expect to see tho Lion city of Dallas and
tho Panther city of Fort Worth in such har-
mony. Ho did not believo in so many
courts. Ho would vote for tho substitute and,
if adopted, would voto against it on final pas-
sage.
Mr. Jester moved the previous question.
Lost.
Mr. Bowser moved to lay the substitute on
tho tablo. Lost—ayes, 11; nays, 13.
The sonate refused to adopt the substitute-
ayes, 11; nays, 13.
Mr. Bowser then offored numerous amond-
monts to mako tho original bill conform to
the substitute ho withdraw on Saturday. Tho
amendments wero all adopted.
Mr. Yoaknm offored an amendmont, re-
quiring the city of Dallas to pay tho salary of
tho judge.
Adjourned till 3 p. m.
afternoon session.
Mr. Smith moved to tablo the amendment
by Mr. Yoakum requiring tho city of Dallas to
pay the oxponsos of the criminal court.
Adopted.
The bill was then ordorod engrossed by tho
following voto:
Ayes: Atloe, Bowser, Crowloy, Doan,
Groer, Imboden, Jester, Koarby, Lawhon,
Lowis, McComb, Pressler, Simpson, Swayno
and Yoakum. Total, 15.
Nays: Agnow, Boren, Browning, Douglass,
Hutchison, Steele, Tips and Woods. Total, 8.
Mr. Pressler moved to suspend the regular
order and take up tho senato bill extending for
one week the time of holding the district court
of Erath county. The rules were suspondod
and the bill passed.
On motion of Mr. Yoakum pending business
was suspended and tho Dallas criminal court
bill was taken up again. Tho constitutional
rulo was suspended and tho bill passed—yeas
13, nays 11.
Tho senato took up house joint resolution
amending the constitution so as to authorize
the maintenance of a homo for confederate
soldiers and sailors. On third reading tho res-
olution passed—yoas 25, nays none.
The senato then rosumod consideration of
tho houso bond bill.
Mr. Smith moved to strike out tho limit to
tho indebtedness that may be created upon a
railroad further than that necossary for tho
demands of tho work. Lost.
Mr. Imbodon moved to reduce the amount
of indebtedness that may bo created from 50
per cent ovor tho valuo of tho property to 25
por cent ovor the valuo of tho property.
Owing to the fact that tho engrossed rider
fixing tho limit at 50 por ccnt ovor tho value
of the property does not appoar on tho
printed bill Mr. Dean moved to postpone un-
til Wednesday morning bo that tho ongrossod
rider could bo printed.
Mcssi-b. Pressler and Jestor opposed dolay.
Mr. Simpson thought that tho matter was so
important that the senate should have a cor-
rect copy of tho bill upon which to take action.
Mr. Dean's motion was tabled. Ayes, 10,
noes, 10.
Mr. Shelburno moved to recommit the bill.
Mr. Imbodon moved to tablo the resolution.
Ayes 17, nays 8.
Tho question recurring on amendment of
Mr. Imbodon, Mr. McComb took tho floor iu
opposition to tho amondmont.
Mr. Imbodon withdrew his amendment. I
Mr. Dean offered to amend by making tho '
limit of excess 100 por coqt. of 50 per cent.
Iio argued that such restrictions as proposed
by tho bill prevent railrrtad building. Tho
amondmont was tabled. Ayes 10, nays 8.
Mr. Deano offered to amend by striking out
the word "value," to which tho excess per-
centage applied, arid subitituto therefor tho
words "actual cost."
Mr. Imboden moved to table.
Mr. Lowis moved a call of the senate. Ab-
sent without excuse. Bowser.

Mr. Yoakum moved to make the excess
porcontago 75 instead of 50.
Mr. Shelburno movod a call of tho sonate
on tho bill.
Mr. Smith moved to adjourn—ayes 10, noes
10.
Mr. Imboden movod to excuse tho absen-
tees undor the last call. Boforo tho result was
announced Mr. Bowsor came into tho cham-
ber.
Mr. Steolo moved tho previous quostion on
ponding amendments and tho bill.
Mr. Atleo raised tho point of order that tho
bill had not boon read; that tho sonate had
not tho opportunity to discuss tho merits or
domerits of the bill. The chair held tho point
of ordor well taken.
Mr. Shelburno moved a suspension of tho
call. Lost—ayes, 10; nays, 10.
Tho quostiou thon recurred on Mr. Im-
bodon's motion to table Mr. l)ean's amend-
ment, which was done—ayes, 17: nays, 7.
Mr. Yoakum's amendment changing tho
percentage from 50 to 75 thon camo up and
the senator was in the midst, of a speech when
Mr. Imboden interrupted to inquire if ho
would yield for a motion to adjourn.
Mr. Yoakum: "Yes, sir."
Mr. Imboden made the motion and it was
lost, and Mr. Yoakum refimod and discussed
the issue of bonds as applied to roads undor
construction or roads to be constructed.
Mr. Yoakum's amendment was tabled.
Mr. Swayno movod the previous question.
Mr. Lewis mado the point of ordor pre-
viously made by Mr. Atlee, which the chair
this time hold not well taken. Tho motion
prevailed and tho main question was ordered.
The roll was callod on the engrossment of
the bill.
When Mr. Atloe's name v. as reached on roll
cailheBaid; "Mr. Present, believing that
the senato has not had aij -opportunity for the
free discussion of tho moriU of tho bill, I do-
clino to vote."
Messrs. Bowsor and Crowley refused to vote.
Mr. Dean rofused to vote, because ho thought
that ho had boon unjustly deprived of an op-
portunity to oiler amendments to the bill.
Mr. Lewis declined to voto for
similar reasons, and when tho call had boon
completed the voto was us foliowh: Ayes—
Agnew, Boren, Browning, Dieksou, Douglass,
Imbodon, Jester, Kearby ilcKinney. Law-
hon, Pressler, Smith, Steele, Swayne, Woods,
Yoakum; total, 10. Nays: McComb.
Prosont and not voting: Atleo, Bowsor,
Crowloy, Doan, Greer, Hutchison, Lewis,
Shelburno, Simpson, Tips: total 10.
Absent, Baldwin, Cranford, Goss, Whita-
ker. No quorum voting, the chair mado tho
following statoment: "if the chair has mado
an orror in his ruling, ho plainly
stated to tho senate that ho was in
doubt and any appeal from his
decision would have been entertained, but
this should not justify the senator in violating
a rulo of his own adoption. No sonator should
undertake to ahow his ill, foeling by rofusmg
to vote when his name is called undor tho
previous question. It is no concern of the
chair, but it should be the pride of every
senator to see that tie rules aro en-
forced. The chair ijpt-s and trusts
that for tho good name of tho state tho sena-
tors will observe the rules and not put them-
selves in open violation of a rule by refusing
to vote."
Mr. Dean: "I meant no direspoct to the
chair by refusing to vote, but when I was de-
nied an opportunity to offer an amendment to
tho bill, which tho chair ruled out of ordor as
was attested by senators several days ago, for
the reason that the senato was considering tho
bill by sections, and stated that the amend-
ment would bo in order after all the
sections had been read, I refused to
be a party to tho fraud being
perpetrated on the state. I atn responsible
to my constituents for my course and I
would consider myself violating my duty to
them wore I to aid by my voto tho majority
in what I believe to be a great wrong upon tho
state."
Mr. Imboden took the ground that it was
an unwritten rule of the senato that
roll call senators should havo
socond opportunity to voto after the roll call
had boen completed, and ho criticised the
action of the secretary iu noglocting to call
tho names of thoso not voting.
Mr. Atleo: "I regret nothing that has hap-
pened this session so much as the occasion
which compelled me to tnke tho course 1 did
in refusing to vote. Tho senate, when the
bill was first callo.l, decided unani-
mously to consider tho bill by sections. I
had not mado up my mind as to how I should
voto on tho bill, and ha\o beon considering it
carefully and whon only six sections
of the bill have boon considered, I am to bo
shut off from further considering tho bill
whon the constitution providos that
every bill shall bo fully considered,
I fool that I owe no apology
to the chair or tho senate for my conduct, and
shall offer none in view of the ruling of the
chair, which I fool was not fair to those inves-
tigating tho bill. I desire to say that his
locturo was unwarranted."
The chair, Mr. Kearby, stated ho had no do-
Biro to shut anybody oil. He thought under
the rules that tho senate had
tho power to order the previous
question or rescind any former action, and so
ruled. Further, senators had not treated tho
chair with propor respect, and ho would
insist on this or would iuvoko tho aid of such
othor rules as wero necessary.
Mr. Greer: " I bolieve the constitution to
bo superior to any law made by this body.
We wero operating un.lor a resolution to
consider this bill section by section, and
when tho majority fought to shut off
a free consideration of the merits of this bill
beforo half the sections had been road. Obey-
ing tho dictates of my cuscienco and acting
in tho best intorosts of my constituents I re-
fused to vote."
Mr.Pressler moved to reconsider tho vote by
which tho main question was ordered. Carried
unanimously.
Adjourned at 6.35 p. n. until 10 o'clock to-
morrow.
THE HOUSE.
Three Hours' Discussion on Mcl.emore's
Hunting Hill Amendment,
Austin, Tex., April ".—Pending business
was McLemoro'sbill to amend tho law prohib-
iting hunting on the inclosed lands of another
so as to prohibit hunting in pastures of less
than 10,000 ac.re3 under fonco, tho present
law being 2000 acres.
Mr. Sobastian'a amondmont was pending
reducing tho area to 2000 aoros, as in present
law, with a substitute by Mr. Howell striking
out section 1, which would leave tho clauso
simply prohibiting hunting gamo for market,
Mr. Dean favored Mr. Howell's amend-
ment; was willing to pi vent destruction of
gamo for northern markets, but hunting for
amusomont was a right which should not bo
abridged.
Mr. llowoll's amendment was rejected.
Mr. White offered an amendment to Mr.
Sebastian's amendment to insert 8000 acres
instead of 2000 acros; contended that whon tho
pasture men of the west want protection mom
bers aro roady to jump on them. "The west
is sparsely settled and has small influouee in
the stato convention. The relevancy of this
is shown by tho fact that 99 members of tho
houso out of 100 aro candidates before tho
convention for govornor. I acknowledge it
for myself and tho honorablo speaker is in tho
satno fix." [Laughter.]
Mr. Moody; "Be more explicit."
Mr. White: "I didn't mean you. [Laugh-
tor. | Men out west who go into the pastures
to hunt aro generally refugees from justice,
ox-convicts or should bo convicts. They havo
no intention of settling, but lay around in tho
thickets, live upon tho calves of the stock-
men, and when they got roady to leave drive
out boovos."
Mr. Sebastian contended that tho bill is in
tho exclusive intorost of pasturo owners. Tho
purpose is to keep out settlers; they want the
country depopulated. On this promise ho
discusaod the bill in a most animated speech.
The best possiblo plea for the vagrant man
was put up. Tho woes of tho nester wore viv-
idly recounted.
Mr. Mills interrupted tho debate to move
that tho request of the senate for tho return
of the sine die adjournment resolution bo
granted. Motion adopted.
Mr. Graves objected to the 8000 acre amond-
mont. As to tho principle involved, it is not
questioned, because tho law establishes it, but
limits its application to 2000 acros. There
was no reason in this arbitrary limitation. If
it were worth while to protect a 2000 acre pas-
turo from tho depredations of fugitives and
lawloss men it is equally tho duty of tho state
to protoct a larger pasturo. Tho best immi-
gration policy is to protect tho lands of tho
country. Big pasturo men aro providing ar-
tesian wells, dividing up their lands and in-
viting sottlerH. Those ownors and tho sottlers
ought to bo protectod from tho wandering
hunters and fugitives from justico who hido
in tho unsettled pasturo country.
Mr. Pickett spoke against the bill,contending
that the settlor in largo pastures under tho bill
would be dominated and depredated upon by
tho pasturo man, and giving instances to sup-
port this argument.
White withdrew his amendment.
Mr. Moody opposed tho bill as detrimental to
the small farmers of the west. Ownors aro
largely non-residents. On this lino he mado a
speech against class legislation. His children
would see English landlordism here. Who
wants to move into their pastures and settle on
school lands?
Mr. Onion objected to tho wide range of
discussion. Quostion: Is it right? Does not
tho objection to tho bill spring from com-
munism? The same protection should bo
given to 100 or 500, or 2000 or 10,000 acre pas-
tures. As to principle, tho man who owns a
million acros is entitled to the same protec-
tion as the owner of ono acre. It is their
duty to regulate non-resident ownorship, but
not to logisiato them out of tho country by
refusing them protection. If you would legis-
late them out do bo, but not by refusing their
property tho same protection other property
enjoys undor the iaw so long as they hold it.
Ho seomed to think it was boyond theprovinco
of the legislature to outlaw any species of
property.
Mr.Wostor contonded tho principal object is
to protect wild wolves in the big pastures, and
next is to keep tauie settlers from coming in.
He contonded wild gamo is public property.
Mr. Ball closed tho throe hours debato with a
motion for tho previous question.
Mr. Sebastian's amendmont was adopted.
Voto—53 yeas, 34 nays; as follows:
Hi iS Kl

house really means to present articles of im-
peachment and that tho sossion will bo indef-
initely prolonged thereby. Hence thry will
probably liro into the house another sine die
resolution and go to work to work up adjourn-
ment. They don't want to sit as a high court
of impeachment.

How the Senato Minority Outgeneraled the
Majority.
Austin, Tux., April 3.—Tho houso bill
restricting tho issuo of bonds furnished the
senate its first real wool-pulling contest.
When tho bill was called up by Senator
Dickson last week tiio sonato agreed to con-
sider it by sections. At that timo Bix of tho
fourteen sections, woro read, when tho bill
went temporarily to tho tablo for tho boncllt
of privileged bills under tho rule.
At that timo, however, Senator Dean of-
fored an amendment to one of the first sec-
tions, which was ruled out of ordor until all
the- sections had been read.
President Pro Tom. Koarby laid tho
bill boforo tho sonato this afternoon. Tho
friends of tho moasuro were organized and
had agreed to pass tho bill without amend-
ments in railroad stylo, and tho amendments
to it wore promptly voted down by tho ma-
jority.
Section 0, howovor, could not bo so easily
disposed of, and in order to mako the case
clearer tho section is given in full.
Sec. G. Should any company or corporation au-
thorized to construct, own or operate a railroad
in this stato desire to iesuo bonds or othor indebt-
edness to bo secured by lien or other mortgago
on its franchises and property in ad-
vance of tho completion of tho railroad,
it shall mako application to and first procuro the
consent of tho railroad commission thereto. In
said application it shall exhibit to tho commis-
sion its contract with tho construc-
tion company if it havo any, tho profile
of its completed road or part of road
the evidence of its right, of way, depot grounds,
terminal facilities, tho extent and valuo of work
done or in process of completion, tho amount
of property received, tho amount of stock
subscribed and the amount paid in
and all other nocessary facts showing tho valuo
of tho franchise and property proposed as secu-
rity for said contemplated debts. If on an inves-
tigation tho commissioner iH satisflod that
tho company is acting in good faith
and that its contract with tho construction
company is reasonable and fair to the pub-
lic, thon it shall authorize tho execution of said
indebtedness and lion to tho oxtont necessary for
tho demands of tho work, at no time
to be inoro than 50 por cent over
tho value of tho whole property and franchises.
In executing such bonds tho company shall com-
ply with section 8 of this law and havo them reg-
istered as required in section 9."
Many of tho senators bco in this section
which applies exclusively to roads that havo
not boen constructed provisions that will lit-
erally prohibit railroad construction in flec-
tions that need roads, and their desire has
been to modify it3 provisions so that local en-
terprise may with so mo hopes of success en-
deavor to havo railroads built.
Mr. Dean moved to amend by substituting
for tho word "value" whero it last occurs in
the section the words "actual cost."
Mr. Imboden promptly moved to lay tho
amendment on tho table, and on
that motion a call of tho senato
was ordered. Thon Mr. Yoakum's amondmont
changing "50 por cent" near tho end of tho
section to "75 per cent" came up and another
motion to tablo was promptly mado and then a
call was ordered on tho bill. In
tho meantime Mr. Steele had moved
the previous question on tho bill and amend-
ments and Mr. Atleo raised tho point of
ordor that the constitution (rule 27 of the
senate also) provided that "no bill shall have
the force of a law until it has boon
read on throe several days in each house and
freo discussion allowed thereon. In speaking
to the point of order Mr. Atleo
contonded that the sennto in tho
beginning had decided to consider tho bill by
sections, that only six sections of the bill had
been considered and that senators had not
had an opportunity to consider or discuss the
remaining eight sections, therefore freo dis-
cussion would bo cut off by tho previous
question.
The chair sustained tho point of ordor and
the previous question was not put.
After Mr. Yoakum had spoken at length
on his 75 per cont amendment, Mr. Swayne,
thinking that the opponents of the bill wero
talking it to death, again moved tho previous
quostion.
This timo Mr. Lewis raised the point of or-
dor previously mado by Mr. Atleo and sustained
by the chair, and said that he had several
amendments prepared to offor to the
subsequent sections of tho bill. This timo
tho chair ruled tho point not well taken, and
tho question was put, the senate deciding by a
voto of 12 to 11 to ordor tho main quostion.
Whon roll call commenced a lively time en-
sued. Mr. Atloo promptly declmod to voto
because the freo discussion of tho bill had not
beon pormittod. Nino other senators as will
bo Beon by tho routine report followed and
tho quorum was broken. It was nearly 6
o'clock at this time; then the fireworks began
by the chair lecturing tho obstinate sonators.
Messrs. Atlee, Doan, Greor and others ex-
pressed themselves in plain English in de-
nouncing tho whole proceedings as an
outrage — one of them said a fraud
— and announced boldly that they
would stand pat. The majority eventually
saw they wero outgenerallod and whipped and
meekly surrendered by unauimously recon-
sidering tho voto by which the main question
was ordered.
Then instead of passing the bill right
through as they had determined to do, tho
wind and water squeezers agreed to adjourn
and to-morrow tho bill will bo resumed by
sections, as originally intonded.
It was a lively opisodo and quite a number
of spectators onjoyod tho discomfiture and de-
feat of the majority that attempted to run the
gag law on ten senators.
NOTARIAL A PPOINTMENTS,
Somo of tho Governor's Appointees Are Not
Even Voters and Never Can He,
Austin, Tex., April 3.—The govornor cut
out a dozon populists and only two Clark men
from the notary list of Houston county sont
in by members. Somo fow spockled lists con-
taining Hogg, Clark and Nugent men, and re-
publicans, havo gono through without a cut,
Other lists havo been unaccountably trimmed,
Some of tho appointees aro not oven voters
and never can be. It is a queer business. It
is estimated that 0000 uamos havo been sont
in.
Smith and Steele!to
choke Dallas off by coupling Tarrant
county with it. but Swayno of Fort Worth put
in a disclaimer for his county. Bowser made
a strong, courageous and unyielding fight for
Dallas, and put tho situation in a strong, con-
vincing way. Senators Lewis of San Antonio
and Dean of El Paso also rendered effective
aid. Mr. Yoakum, after making the friends
of tho bill feel norvous, wound up by voting
for it. The bill is regarded safe in the houso
and it is understood that tho governor will
approve it.
Against the Big Pasture Owner.
Austin, Tex., April 3.—Tho houso sentiment
to-day was clearly against the same protection
for the more wealthy land owner that is given
the owner of small tracts of land. Tho idcr.
that incidentally tho pasturo bill wouid pro
tect non-resident pasturo owners seemed to
appeal to a tender spot in tho members' hearts
to opposo tho bill. Whilo declaring against
class legislation they appealed to prejudices
against largo land owners and non-rosidonts
and corporations.
Onion pointedly exposed tho inconsistency
of membora.
Falls Gets the Judge.
Austin, Tex., April 3.—The governor had a
reception to-day of members of tho legislature
to urgo cortain lawyers for tho now judgeship.
Tho delegation hustled out and at dusk tho
Falls county candidate had about ninety mem-
bers of tho houso and seventeen of tho sonato
on his list. Falls therefore gets tho judge.

The Investigating Committee Gets Through
with New Witnesses.
Austin, Tex., April 3.—The land office in-
vestigating committeo got through with the:
out-of-town witnesses this morning and sent
for Austin parties supposed to know some
tiling, but tho dragnet brought in very little
of valuo.
Messrs. Gillospie, Hughes and two or three
other townsmen mado statornonts; somo of
them knew absolutoly nothing as to tho mat-
ters questioned upon. Parties who havo
hoard tho now evidence say that it is
largoly cumulative and so far seoms to involve
no now find upon which articles of im-
peachment can bo based. Tho witness, Cam-
oron from Liberty county, deposed to-day
and probably made more certain the truth
of tho charge that Austin buyers had the ad-
vantage of early inside information as to tho
timo lands wero placed on the market.
This evidence, however, failed to implicate
McGaughey in this business. It only 6howed
outsiders had grapevine messages.
