Wrecked British Cruiser Towed Into
Yarmouth Harbor.
There is great rejoicing in England
over the raising of the cruiser Gladi-
ator, which was sunk off Yarmouth by
the American liner St. Paul. It is said
to constitute a record in the history of
salvage. The work has been in con-
stant progress for nearly six months.
Damaged in many ways, and nearly cut
in half, the cruiser lay half capsized,
and, at high water, totally submerged.
Divers found it impossible to stop up
all the openings in her hull, and the
water could not be pumped out of her.
But, by the use of air cylinders and
pontoon^, she was partly righted, and
finally got upon an even keel. The
special collision mats were -brought
into play, and at last she was floated.
Even then it was ticklish work towing
her to Portsmouth harbor, and it was
feared that she would capsize again.
But, propped on either side by tugs and
air cylinders, the dismantled hulk was
convoyed safely into harbor and dry
dock, amid scenes of great naval en-
thusiasm.

tinued harrassing and hampering of
■the defendant; that the defandant
charged the plaintiff to be insolvent,
when it is not insolvent; that the de-
defendant also charged that the plain-
tiff Is not protecting the interests of its
members, to the plaintiff’s damage. Suit
was brought against Love individually.

New York, Feb. 11.—Dr. W. P. Max-

authority for the statement that one-
third of the pupils in the public schools
of New York are suffering from mal-

made public, Dr. Maxwell says that an
establishment at school where pupils
can obtain wholesome food at cost
price is sorely needed. Commenting on
the ill-fed children, he says:
“What a commentary it is upon our
boasted civilization that in the largest
and richest city in America 17,000 chil-
dren should be suffering from bad food
and lack of food. And how ridiculous
it is to compel children to attend school

Arrives at Austin to Discuss Anti-Rac-
ing Bill.
By Associated Press.
Austin, Tex., Feb. 11.—A large dele-
gation from Dallas reached here today
to be present when the anti-race track
bill comes up for consideration. Chair-
man Hudspeth of the senate committee
having the bill in charge said that
when the bill comes up he will move
to adopt the minority report, which
proposes the substitute that is favor-
able to racing at county and state
fairs. The proposition may come up
tomorrow or the day after.

Court of Civil Appeals Upholds Arrest
of Man for Swearing in Public.
Special to the Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Feb. 11.—The court of
civil appeals has decided that a police-
man had the right to arrest without a
warrant, at the instance of a depot
agent, a person who was swearing and
cursing in the presence of others at
passenger station. This was in the
case of F. G. James against the San
and Aransas Pass Railway
company, appealed from McLennan
county. The appellant, James, sued the
company for damages on account of
alleged false imprisonment at the in-
stance of the railway company. It
was alleged that appellant was a pas-
senger on appellee’s train and while
awaiting the departure of a train at
Waco in a waiting room the appellee’s
£gent caused the appellant to be ar-
rested without a warrant by a police-
man of the city of Waco. The com-
pany claimed that the appellant was
disturbing the peace by cursing and
swearing in the presence of passen-
gers. The case was tried in the dis-
trict court without a jury and a
diet rendered for the railroad com-
pany. The court of civil appeals found
it unnecessary to consider the insuffi-
ciency of a city ordinance of Waco on
the subject, which had been assailed,
for the court says if it could concede
those objections well taken, still it
is of opinion that by force of article
247 of the code of criminal procedure
the arrest of appellant could be justi-
fied, although without a warrant.

Chicago, Feb. 11.—With cows suffer-
ing from tuberculosis coming into tne
state at the rate of 10,000 a year, the
Illinois hoard of live stock commis-
sioners announced that it had been
compelled virtually to suspend the test-
ing of dairy herds and glandered
horses because the “slaughter fund”
of $10,000 appropriated by the state had,1
been exhausted.
Just at this time the educated farm-
er in neighboring states is a particular
thorn
cials. These farmers are taught by ex-
perts tq make tuberculosis tests, for
themselves. After the farmer has satis-
fied himse|f that a cow is tubercular
it is 90 days before the disease shows
itself. This gives him an opportunity
to dispose of the animal to a broker,
who takes it over the line to Illinois,
where it is sold as sound at a hand-
some profit.

Austin, Tex., Feb. 11.—Placidity and
calm characterized the proceedings of
the senate today. Not a trace of yes-
terday’s storm scenes was visible. The
Thomas investigation committee will
recommend in its report that the mat-
ter of the investigation of violations
of the anti-lobby law, which is set for
next Tuesday, be dropped and the indi-
cations are that the senate will adopt
the report.
The senate this morning killed the
bill by Senator Cofer providing for
the establishment of a chair of homeop-
athtic materia medica and therapeutics
at the Galveston branch of the Uni-
versity of Texas by adopting the ad-
verse minority report of the committee
by a vote of 14 to 11. The senators
contended that if such a ehair is needed
it is for the broad of regents to estab-
lish it and not the legislature.
WARD’S BILL PASSED.
The bill by Senator Ward, amending
the injunction law so as to prohibit
the clouding of titles and the black-
mailing of land titles of Texas, passed
finally? Under this bill. Senator Ward
claims that a person can try rights of
property in equitable proportion with-
out resorting to adequate remedy at
law. Brachfield’s bill requiring loco-
motives to be equipped with automatic
ash pans, passed finally.
Only one bill was introduced in the
senate today. It was by Harper,
amending the anti-nepotism law so that
the governor and members of the leg-
islature can appoint relatives as no-
taries public. Under the present law
a senator can not confirm the appoint-
ment of a notary public who is related
to him. The amendment also provides
that an employe in the state service
can be reappointed, by a relative where
such employe has had five years con-
tinuous service in such office or depart-
ment.’
The senate spent considerable time
discussing Mayfield’s bill providing for
the establishment of an experiment
station in his senatorial district, which
is the Twenty-seventh. Some opposi-
tion developed to the bill, but Senator
Willacy urged the bill, claiming that
the black land district of the state
should not be ignored.
The senate adjourned to 10 a. m. to-
morrow with the bill pending.
