TEXAS
WORK ACCOMPUSHED
BY REGULAR SESSION
1*7 GENERAL BILLS AND SEVEN
AMENDMENT RESOLUTIONS
FINALLY PASSED.
1,467 BILLS CONSIDERED
Naw Record Established for Numbar
of Laws Proposed, About 400 Mors
Than for Thirty-Second.
I'
Austin, Texas.—The Thirty-third leg-
islature. which adjourned Tuesday,
was more prolific In the creation of
bills than In the enactment of laws.
As a producer of proposed legislation
dignified by a position on the calen-
dar, this legislature has never been
surpassed in the history of Texas.
But In the crystallisation of laws from
Its superabundance of plastic material
Ms record Is not at'all remarkable.
There were introduced in this ses-
sion 1,397 bills. Of these the senate
gathered 494 and the house 903. In
the senate 24 joint resolutions were
offered and In the bouse 43. This,
makes a total of 1.467 bills and Joint
resolutions offered In the two houses,
•a compared with 1,024 such offer-
ings In the regular session of the
Thirty-second legislature. In addi-
tion to the bills and joint resolutions
there must be added 50 or 60 con-
current resolutions and Innumerable
simple resolutions to arrive at the
great volume of business brought to
the attention of the members. In
this connection it should be remem-,
bered that the legislature for the first
time was relieved of the considera-
tion of city charter bills.
There issued from this plethora of
proposed legislation 197 general bills
and seven resolutions submitting con-
stitutional amendments to the vote of)
the people. Under concurrent reso-i
lutions, two temporary commissions
Were created, one to investigate the1
financial affairs of the prison system,'
the other to make a study of the*
cases of worthy and friendless con-
victs, that deserving prisoners who!
have failed by poverty or obscurity
to attract attention to themselves mat
come into the reward of clemency.
Among the general bills, however,
will be found a considerable number
of measures of extreme Importance'
and reflecting a high degree of con-
structive statesmanship.

ALLENS GO TO DEATH
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
GOVERNOR DEFEATS PLAN TO
STAY COURSE OF LAW IN
CLAUDE’8 CASE.
EXCITEMENT_W A S TENSE
Fathsr Falters at Crucial Momsnt, but
Son Pays Penalty with Re-
markable Nerve.
Richmond. Va.—Mumbling a prayer
and crying half audibly that he was
ready to go, Floyd Allen, a lawless
product of the Virginia mountains,
whose refusal to accept a short pris-
on term for a minor offense, led to
the wholesale court house murder la
Hlllsvllle one year ago, limped to the
death chair In the state penitentiary
Friday eleven minutes ahead of Claude
Swanson Allen, bis son.
Tbe sentence of the court, held up
for six hours while desperate and dra-
matic efforts were being made to save
the oondemned men by eleventh-hour
appeals to the lieutenant governor,
(was speedily ordered to proceed when
flov. Mann hastened back to Virginia,
soon enough to take charge of a sit-
uation which was exciting to a de-
gree. The prison superintendent act-
ing entirely within the law, agreed to
defer the execution, giving Attorney
General Williams an opportunity
meanwhile to pass upon the constl-u
jtutlonal right of Lieut. Gov. Elly son
to Interfere.
i But the young son of Gov. Mann
reached his father In Philadelphia by
telephone leas than an hour after the
delay has been ordered and by 8
p’clock the governor was again on
Virginia eoll.
j The Jury, which under the law Is
required to witness the executions, as-
sembled outside the penitentiary short-
ly before 1 o'clock. The program as
originally announced was carried out
without change. While two ministers,
who have been unfaltering In their
loyalty to the condemned men, were
telling them good-bye, tbe prison su-
perintendent stepped Into the corri-
dor which separated the cells of fath-
er and son and read the death war-
rant. (
Floyd Allen, still limping from the
wounds be received In the Hlllsvllle
courthouse battle, said the laat tear-
ful farewell to hts boy and went with
the prison guards to the death cham-
ber. A groan escaped him as se sat
In the chair while the straps were oe-
lng fastened about him. The current
was turned on at 1:22 o’clock and in
four minutes the surgeon motioned to
the superintendent that he was dead.
Tbe body was speedily removed.
| Again the chair was tested, while
Claude Swanson Allen, namesake of a
■United States senator, was being lea
through the corridor to the chamirar
door. Though a trifle pale, he march-
ed with measured stride, bis head held
high, his remarkable nerve with "him
to the end. As he took his seat he
moved his arms to assist the guards
who were adjusting the straps and
went to his death silently And unsfrsld.
I When the autopsy bad been perform-
ed, the bodies were given over to Vic-
tor Allen, Floyd's son. by whom they
were taken to the mountains of South-
west Virginia for burial.

WILSON OFFER8 EVERY AID.
President sidetracks All Other Busi-
ness to Wstch Flood Situation.
Washington. — President Wilson
threw open the resources of the fed-
eral government to the homeless thou-
sands fighting against water, flames
and famine In Ohio and Indiana.
More than 8360,uou already has
been expended, and the president Is
determined that no red tape shall
stand In the way of Instant relief ev-
erywhere. Secretary Garrison of tbe
war department left on orders from
the president to convey the situa-
tion in Ohio and direct the govern-
ment's rellfe expeditions, and Mr. Wil-
son announced that If communication
with the flooded districts continued
Imperfect and the presence of the
chief executive was required to Issue
emergency orders, he would go to the
zone of the district himself.
The president did little else besides
his work on the flood situation and
Is ready to set aside other business
before him to assist the authorities
of Ohio and Indiana.
Postmaster General Burleson Is con-
templating a quick journey -to Ohio If
the mall situation Is not soon Improv-
ed. Mall routes across the continent
are badly affected and the task of dls-
sentanglng the mall service to points
In Ohio and Indniana untouched by
floods has reached a crisis. Assist-
ants are - being ordered to the flood
region from near-by dtlea and stamps
and supplies are being rushed to
places which lost their stock in the
floods.
WILL BE BRITISH AMBASSADOR.
W. H. Page, Editor of World’s Work,
Has Accepted Offer by President.
Washington.—Walter H. Page of
Garden City, Long Island, editor of
tbe World's Work and a member of
the firm of Doubleday. Page A Co.,
publishers, has accepted President
Wilson’s offer to be ambassador to
Great Britain.
Rome, Italy.—J. Plerpont Mor-
gan, the king of American financiers,
died here at 12:06 Monday morning
from a nervous break down which he
had been fighting all winter In Egypt.
He had been In P"-ne for a fortnight.
The end Lad beeij expected for sev-
eral hours previous, as after a con-
sultation by the famous experts call-
ed In. agreed that tbe most strenuous
efforts to revive him were of no a\all.
Dr. M. Allen Starr, the noted nerve
specialist of Naples, arrived Sunday
and expressed great surprise at the
weakened condition of Mr. Morgan,
since he left Naples oa March 13.
Jt was admitted Sunday by the
attending physicians that his condi-
tion waa most erltlcal and unless a
reaction set In very soon deatn was
inevitable, fit was also stated then
that the jmlent had refused to eat
since Wednesday and what nourish-
ment was given was by Injection. He
bad not spoken for several days and
this silence had caused great anxiety.
The doctors attribute his refusal to
eat to hts weakened nervous condi-
tion, which rendered his organs al-
most powerless to perform their funo-
tlons.
His grand daughters and a niece
were with Mr. Morgan at the time, but
his wife was In America
John Plerpont Morgan was born at
i Hartford, Conn.. April 17, 1827. He
I entered the bank of Duncan, Sber-
! man A Company in 1867. In I "XI he
became agent and attorney In the Uni-
ted States for George Peabody A Com-
pany, Ixmdon, In which his father was
a partner. In 1864 he became a mem-
ber of Dabney, Morgan A Company.
He bas been largely occupied as a
financier In largest ro-organisatlons of
railways and consolidations of Indus-
trial properties. During Cleveland's
administration he floated a United
States bond issue of |62,000,000.
He organized and floated the secui*
(ties of the United States Steel Cor-
poration In 1901. He secured the Am-
erican subscription of $6(^000,000 ta
the British war loan In April, 1901.
He gave the site, buildings and
funds, amounting to about $1,500,000,
to the Lytng-ln hospital, New York.
He owned one of the most famous col-
lections of pictures in the world. He
has been a commodore of the New
York yacht club and built the Colum-
bia, which defeated the Shamrock for
America’s cup In 1899 and 1901. His
home was at 219 Madison avenue, New
York City. His total wealth was es-
timated at about $200,000,000.
Other Appointment# Probably Boon.
Washington. — President Wilson
probably will fill tbe majority of the
nine ambassadorships now vacant be-
fore the beginning of the extra session
of congress. The president bas had
under consideration a list or men to
whom he Is favorably Inclined, but
the chief difficulty has been that
many of these men hall from New
York state, which he fells^already has
had conspicuous recognition.
» Formal Protest to Amerlea.

ernment has made a formal protest
to the American government against

tlmt numerous consignments of war
material. Including many machine
guns, have been sent across tbe bor-
der, in some cases even at the reg-
ular ports of entry, and are now In the
hands of the rebels.
USE OF THE GRIDIRON
GRILLING A M08T APPETIZING
METHOD OF COOKING.
Process That Is Most Quickly Per-
formed Provided There le a Clear,
Bright Fire—Preserves Juices
of Meat to Bs Served.
Grilling Is one of the crudest and
the most primitive of all forms ol
cooking; It Is, Indeed, sometimes da
scribed ss the savage mode of cook-
ing, when slices of raw meat are
strung on sticks and held over or close
to a fire.
"Broiling” Is tbs most ancient word
for grilling; though both words are
still used, they really signify the
same thing. Broiling Is derived from
the French word “bruler,” to burn.
Although one of the simplest forms
of cookery, It Is seldom well carried
out. Tbe process Is similar to that ol
roasting, with tbe difference that
only small pieces or slices of meal
are used.
Broiling or grilling Is always dons
before, or over, s clear, bright fire,
it Is a process which is always
quickly performed. By broiling meats
evaporation is prevented by the sud
den closing of tbe fibers, so that the
outside of the meat Is quickly hard
ened and the surface browned.
A chop, steak, cutlet or fillet, prop
erly broiled, gbould have a thin, nicely
browned crust, the Inside of which
must be cooked to suit the require
meats and taste of tbe person foi
whom It Is prepared, viz., rare, raw
end juicy, medium or well cooked.
A gridiron, cleaned and well
greased, Is the proper utensil foi
broiling, though some cooks use ths
frying pan more often than the grid-
iron; special care must be exercised
to keep the fat from falling Into the
fire, as the sudden blaze Is likely to
Impart a smoky and objectionable
flavor to the meat
A clear, blight fire Is essential to
perfection In grilling. On no ac-
count must the meat be pierced
with a fork or skewer, or the Juices
will run out of the holes made and
much of the flavor will thereby be
loot. An average sized chop or steak
will require 10 to 12 minutes to broil
or grill, during which time It should
be turned at least five tlmea.
Here and There.
The adept In cooking does her work
without many utensils.
Milk puddings are the best desserts
for children, but they should be va-
ried.
All green vegetables, roots and
tubers should be crisp and firm when
put on to cook.
In cold weather cream sometimes
refuses to “come” to butter. When
such Is the case, set It away over
night. By morning it will have sepa-
rated, pour off the thick part, which
a few minutes’ stirring will bring to
butter.
When a large bottle of olives bas
been opened and a part of them used,
those remaining In the brine some-
times become soft and almost taste-
less. To avoid this, pour half an Inch
of olllve oil on top and cork well. The
olives will Tetaln their flavor Indefi-
nitely.
Argentine Soup.
Soak one-half pint of split peas fot
two hours. Boll In plenty of water
for two hours with two bay leaves
and 12 seeds of dried red pepper.
An hour before serving add one quart
of good strong stock or three-quarters
of a pint of cold roast meat gravy
One-half hour before serving add one
pint of canned tomatoes. Strain
through a colander, season with salt
to taste. Allow soup to boll again be-
fore serving. This soup may be varied
by using different fresh and dried
vegetables.
Little Meat Rolls.
From some cooked meat remove fat
and gristle and put through the chop
per. Season well and moisten with i
little good gravy. Make a good rich
biscuit dough, roll out thin and cut In
(our or five-inch squares. Spread each
piece with some of the meat mixture,
and roll up as tightly as possible
[ Place close together In a greased pan.
brush the tope with milk and bake In
a quick oven. Serve with gravy.
Train Goes Into River.
Fonde, N. Y.—A New York Central
train, the Muffalo special from Buf-
falo to New York, jumped the track
at Yosts, near here, Sunday morning.
Three sleepers, a buffet car, an ex-
press car and the day coach went In-
to the Mohawk river and were partial-
ly submerged, but all passengers es-
caped. Seven people were slightly
hurt. The accident was due to tbs
weakening of the track by floods.
Lift Savers Going to Dayton.
Cincinnati, Ohio.—The government
life saving crew from Louisville pass-
ed here on their way to Dayton. A
special train of 30 physicians, ten
nurses and carrying a large quantity
of medical supplies was made up and
left for Dayton. Ten electric street
car trucks filled with food and med-
ical supplies lsft for Hamilton In an
endeavor to reach that city. Numer-
ous special trains are being made up
and will leave at various times with
man and roscus equipment as well as

Explaining the Needle.
A typesetter In a printing hou-e be
came very adroit In explaining the
large number of misprints for which
be was responsible. Even when bt
changed his work and became a wait
er in a restaurant, says Das Echo, hit
skill did not forsake him.
One day he had served a guest wltk
a plate of soup, and was turning
away, when he was called back
sharply.
"This Is an outrage!” cried tbe la
dlgnant diner. “1 find a needle in my
soup! What does this mean?”
"Just a misprint, sir," explained th«
former typesetter. “It should havs

FLY TO PIECES.
The Effect of Coffee on Highly Organ-
ized People.
"I have been a coffee user for
years, and about two years ago got
Into a very serious condition of dys-
pepsia and Indigestion. It seemed U>
me I would fly to pieces. I was so
nervous that at the least noise I was
distressed, and many times could not
straighten myseif up because of the
pain.”
Tea Is Just as Injurious, because 1$
contains caffeine, the same drug found
In coffee.
"My physician told me I must not
eat any heavy or strong food, and or-
dered a diet, giving me some medi-
cine. I followed directions carefully,
but kept on using coffee and did not
get any bettei.
"Last winter my husband, who was
away on business, had Postum served
to him In the family where he board-
ed. He liked It so well that whan ha
came home he brought some with him.
Ws began uslny it and I found it
most excellent
“While I drank It my stomach never
bothered me lu the least, and I got
over my nervous troubles. When the
Postum was gone we returned to cof-
fee, then my stomach bagan to hurt
me as before, and tbe nervous con-
ditions came on again.
"That showed me exactly what was
ths cause of the whole trouble, so I
quit drinking coffee altogether and
kept on using Postum. The old trou-
bles left again and have never re-
turned."
