ished Companies to State.
Austin, Jan. 18.—The Valentine bill
which would permit the incorpora-
tion of companies that have taken
over the holdings of corporations
banished from the state under the

ported favorably by the committee on
private corporations this morning.

Pensions for Retired Ministers.
Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 18.—The
ministerial pension plan of the Meth-
odist Episcopal Church was outlined
in an address before the Little Rock
conference of the church here to-
night by Rev. John T. B. Smith of
Chicago, representing the Methodist
board of conference claimants.
“The present state of the retired
preacher,” said Rev. Smith, “ is de-
plorable, though far better than it
has been in the past. The plan of the
Methodist Episcopal Church is to give
every retired minister annually $20
for every year of active service. Thus
a pastor who has had forty years of
active service will receive $800.
The Methodist Episcopal church
has a total membership of 4,200,000
as well as over 8,000,000 adherents,
making a total of more than 12,000,-
.000. A church with such a member-
ship should have no difficulty in se-
curing $15,000,000.
The success of the 191(5 campaign
for , $15,000,000 will give a compe-
tency to every retired preacher and
adequate care for their widows and
orphans.”

Lansing Makes Denial.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 18.—Secre-
tary Lansing today denied statements
made at the “leak” hearing that he
had breakfasted several times at the
Biltmore Hotel in New York with
Bernard Baruch. He said he did not
meet Mr. Baruch nor ever had any
conversation with him.
Secretary Lansing’s authorized
statement was as follows:
“While I dislike very much to dig-
nify by denial false and malicious
scandal, at the same time the public-
ity which has been given to some of
the reports about me in saying that
in regard to the statement that I
breakfasted several times with Mr.
Baruch at the Biltmore Hotel, imply-
ing I assume, that I egave him ad-
vance information concerning the
note to the belligerents. I never, to
my knowledge, saw Mr. Baruch at
any time. I do not know him and
never had any conversations with him
and I have been out of Washington
qnly once since election and that was
to attend the army and navy game in
New York, November 25.”
Speaker Restricted in Appointments.
Austin, Jan. 18.—In construing the
anti-nepotism law, it was held today
by the attorney general’s department
that the legislature means both
bodies, house and senate, consequent-
ly the speaker of the house cannot
appoint to any office, position or
clerkship any person related within
the second degree of affinity or with-
in the third degree of consanguinity
to any member of the house or to any
member of the senate.
The effect of the opinion is too pro-
hibit any member of the house from
having any relative within the pro-
hibited degree apponited to a position
in the senate or vice versa.

Austin, Jan. 18.—A bill was intro-

apply to any city in a county having
population of 130,000 or more as de-
termined by the Federal census of
1910. Senator McNealus believes
that $2 for every 100 qualified voters
