W. A. Hanger objected, claim-
the lssu$ was the same as that
EMM yesterday when President Pro
HP—l Dean ruled figures showing the
^Htowrative cost of education in the
achool and similar state instl-
llutiom were not admlssable.
The chair sustained the objection.
Chair Is Overruled.
Seaator Lattlmore appealed from
IM ruling and a vote was taken. The
^ .hair was not sustained, the vote be-
, JP»* to 12 to 1«, one not voting.
This was the first appeal made
1 from a ruling by President Dean.
Dr. Vinson testified salaries paid to
rJM nambers of his faculty compared
well with those in other schools, but
they as a rule put in more hours.
■ The witness said there were 11.4
students to each teacher In the Uni-
versity of Texas, only two other state
iiverslties having more students to
the Instructor.
la explainrd the various duties of
jfessore, the hours they must spend
la preparation, etc. Senator Page ob-
jected that the testimony was irre-
levant, but withdrew his objection
when Mr. Crane said he had only one
more question to ask alone that line.
Senator Parr objected, however, and
a vote was taken. The objection was
overruled by a vote of 18 to 9.
Work of Professors.
Dr. Vinson described text book
writing by professors and the work
of the Co-operative society, all of
which he covered in his testimony
before the house.
At the October, 1S16, meeting of
the regents, the witness said, the gov-
ernor presented a statement of the
charges he had to make against cer-
tain members of th« faculty.
The governor's position was that
the professors could be expelled with-
out a bearing and should be so ex-
pelled, the witness said according
to his recollection.
The board gave the professors a
hearing, however, he testified.
Investigation Invited.
The board of regents at the same
meeting asked the legislature to fully
investigate the whole situation at the
university, l)r. Vinson said. The
faculty twice declared for an Inquiry.
At a conference with a senate com-
mittee, Dr. Vinson testified, Senator
Paige suggested a compromise—the
president to secure the resignation of
objectionable faculty members and
the governor to agree to sign the op-
propriations.
"I replied that this condition was
impossible for me to accept," the

Where the Bank Comes In
The bank is the same thing to business that the
water is to the boat floating on its surface.
The old ox cart may be still able to transport
cargoes along the banks of the stream without
utilizing it, and some men are hanging on to their
carts in a business way, we'll admit.
The bank is not the rich man's convenience any
more than it is the poor man's working partner.
In fact, the man who most needs a bank is the one
who needs money most.
The bank is the machinery for transaction of
business, whether a bale of cotton is to be sold, a
farm bought or sold, or a bill paid or collected.
The bank furnishes educated, reliable clerkship
and correct accounting for the public.

witness continued, "because the re-
gents already had taken the matter
out of my hands."
Altai ft* Vinsoa.
"Did Wilbur P. Allen ever express
any preference for you as president?"
asked Mr. Crane.
"He did; it would be embarrassing
to me to answer the question."
"Can't you waive you modesty and
tell us?"
"Well, at my house, during the re-
cent house investigation, he made
some very commendatory statements."
At this point the general stopped
the witness and led back to the June
6, date when Allen requested Dr.
Vinson to resign the presidency and
save the university appropriations, all
of which was testified to before the
house. Mr. Hanger objected to this
teftimony.
The witness was permitted to testi-
fy that Allen said to him, he had no
agreement with the governor, but if
the doctor would resign he believed
he could get the governor to sign
the appropriations at least for |1,-
000,000.
Objections Sustained.
Mr. Crane's questions brought fre-
quent objections from Mr. Hanger
which were sustained.
Dr. Vinson repealed again that the
only excused the students from their
classes on May 28. the day of the
demonstration in front of the gov-
ernor's office, in order that they
might hold a mass meeting and draw
up resolutions. He said he had no
idea of offending the governor, and
did not know a para«o was planned.
Dr. Vinson said one of Gov. Fer-
guson's objections to Dean Mayes of
the School of Journalism was, that
in his paper he "skinned me from
hell to breakfast."
"I never use such language said the
doctor, smiling, "but I can quote it."
Governor Ferguson joined in the
laugh that followed.
Dr. Vinson said over 400 Texas
students sought admittance to the of-
ficers' reserve training camp at Deon
Springs and about 815 were accepted.
Effect of Veto.
Over Mr. Hanger's objection Dr.
Vinson said the effect of the veto of
the university appropriations, if it had
continued in effect, would have been
to close the university for two years
and to cause the faculty to disband.
This, he said, would have been a
complete reorganisation and "a new
start."
On the cross examination Mr.
Hanger presented the budget given to
(ho regents at the Galveston meeting
by Dr. Vinson and it was Identified.
Mr. Hanger asked If the doctor ap-
proved the outsldo work of Dr. A.
Caswell Ellis in supervising sanitation
in school buildings, for which he drew
pay independent of his university
salary.
"So far as 1 know Dr. Ellis has not
done such work since I became presi-
dent," the witness replied. He added
that he did not disapprove of Dr. Ellis'
work when done under the approval of
tho regents, as was given at one time.
The Students' Parade.
Dr. Vinson could not recall If the
students' parade took place at a time
whqn examinations were on. A young
woman and young man asked him on

pended on Monday. He gave his con.
sent. The parade was formed not far
from his office. He heard it march
away to present petitions to the
regents.
"I did not see the parade, becausa I
did not look to see it I did just as I
had done on previous similar occa-
sions. T did not leave my office and
made no attempt to stop them. I
understood they were going in a mass
to address their petition to the
regents."

the technical charge of obstructing

stitutional right to petition for and
demand the passage of the federal
suffrage admendment. It therefore
now becomes my profound obligation
actively to keep my promise to the
women of the west
"In more than twenty states It Is
a practical impossibly to amend the
state constitution; so the women of
those states can only be en-
franchised by tho passage of the fe-
deral law.
"Since England and Russia in the
midst of the great war have assured
the national enfranchisement of their
women, should wo not be Jealous to
maintain our democratic leadership
in the world by the speedy national
enfranchisement of American wom-
en? To me, Mr. President, as I urg-
ed upon you In Washington two
months ago, this Is not only a mea-
sure of justice and democracy, it is

also an urgent war measure. The
women of the nation ar« and always
will be loyal to the country and the
passage of the suffrage admendment
is only the first step toward their
national emancipation. But nnle-s
the government takes at least this
first step, towards their enfranchise-
ment bow can the government ask
millions of American women in our
homes for economic independence in
every line of Industry to give up by
conscription their men and hap pines"
to a war for democracy in Europe
whilo these women citizens are deni-
ed the right to vote on the policies
of the government which demands of
them such sacrifice?
Favors Federal Amendment.
"For this reason many of your
ardent friends and supporters feel that
the passage of the federal suffrage
amendment Is a war measure which
could appropriately be urged by you
at this session of congress. For the
whole country gladly acknowledges,
Mr. President, that no vital piece of
legislation has come through congress
these five years except by your extra-
ordinary and brilliant leadership. And
millions of men and women today hope
that you will give the federal suffrage
amendment to the women of the coun-
try by the valor of your leadership
now.
"I have not approved all the meth-
ods recently adopted by women in the
pursuit of their political liberty, yet,
Mr. President, the committee on
suffrage of the United States senate
was formed in 1S8S, when I was one
year old; this same federal suffrage
amendment was first introduced in
congress in 1«78. Brave women like
Susan B. Anthony were petitioning
congress for the suffrage before the
Civil war, and at the time Civil war
men like Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Horace
Greely and Wendell Phillips assured
the suffrage leaders that if they aban-
doned their fight for suffrage, when
the war was ended the men of the
nation, out of gratitude, would en-
franchise the women of the country1;
and if the men of this country had
been peacefully demanding for over
half a century tho political right or
privilege to vote, and had been con-
tinually ignored or met with evasion
by successive congresses as have the
women, you, Mr. President, as a lover
of liberty, would be the first to com-
prehend and forgive their inevitable
impatience and righteous indignation,
leaving Pie Counter.
"It seems a long seven years, Mr.
President, since I first campaigned
with you when you were running for
governor of New York. In every cir-
cumstance throughout those years 1
have served you with most respectful
affection and unshadowed devotion.
It is no small sacrifice now for me, as
a member of your administration, to
sever our political relationship. But
I think it is high time that men in
this generation, at some cost to them-
selves, stood up to battle for the na-
tional enfranchisement of American
women. So, in order effectively to
keep my promises made in tho west,
and more freely to go into this larger
field of democratic effort, I hereby
resign my office as collector of the
port of New York, to take effect at
once, or at your earliest convenience.
"Yours respectfully,
"Dudley Field Malone."

The nine men constituting the first

ducted into the service by the local
board. And it may be said that they
went like men in whom the people
that they are serving may feel a pride'

Three alternates were required to
report with these and were held just
as the others until the time the party
entrained. These were H. L. Bolen,
Joe Lipscomb and Tom Orman.
There is little to be said as to the
details of their leaving, as the govern-
ment desires that no publicity be given
to the time of departure of the sol-
diers for the camps, or their routing.
The men reported to the local board
and were from that time in the mili-
tary service. The board from that
hour was to provide their meals and
lodging until the time of their de^
parture, and to furnish them with the
transportation. Those who wished to
do so could sign a card permitting
them to go to their homes for the
day instead of going to the restaurant
or hotel, and this was what most of
them did. The government allows
them 60 cents for each meal. Then
they were required to report at the
office of the local board again in the
evening for roll call. When the call
of the roll had been made M. 1».
Bryant was designated to have charge
of the bunch until they reached camps.
He was required at that time, accord-
ing to tho regulations, to line them up
and have them to take at least one
step forward, which sufficed to coin-
ply with the military requirements for
that hour, Mr. Bryant marched tho
men down the passage way from the
office of the board In tho Temple
State band building to the stairway,
and there dispersed them. William
Pappaa took the entire twelve in his
car, which was waiting near the foot
of the stairs, and took them for a
drive over the town, returning to the
Olympia confectionery where he still
performed in the role of host to his
fellow soldiers.
They were required to report again
at the office of the local board one
hour before time to go to the train,
and though it was a time when most

"The overshadowing issue," the dec-
laration says, "is preservation of de-
mocracy. Either democracy will en-
dure and men will be free or auto-
cracy v. ill triumph and the race will
bo enslaved. To compromise now
would be to sow seed for a bloodier
war."
