WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—Applica-
tion for an injunction to prevent dis-
charge by the Old Domnion Railway
Company of certain employes because
of union affiliations was denied today
by Justice Siddons in the Supreme
Court, District of Columbia.
The court held that if the trans-
portation act "undertakes to restrain
the power of employers to discharge
their employes for joining a labor
union, the act would then appear to
come within the denunciation of such
legislation, in the opinion of the Su-
preme Court.”
The right to labor was an individual
right which carried with it the right
not to work. Justice Siddons held, the
opinion adding that the Supreme Court
of the United States had upheld also
the right of employer to impose condi-
tions upon those who seek employ-
ment.

Austin's future. Fact is, Austin is so located, and has such won-
derful natural surroundings that people who remain here long,
usually dream of dwelling in thia picturesque city. Then, too, Aus-

aity, are not to be overlooked. There ia an old saying, however,

The Cave of the Winds has its own
special guides and its own special ad-
mittance charge, adding another dol-
lar to your trip ticekt. Here the sight-
Beers are collected and separated into
■mall groups, each gulde taking about
a dozen persons through. Although
the system is efficient, occasionally
two or three guides and their parties
get crowded into the same part of the
cave at once, so that it is difficult to
tell which part of the spiel you are
supposed to be listening to. It the par-
ticular formation you are looking at a
batttjeship, or is it the elephant the
the other guide is talking about?
A Little Luray.
The Cave of the Winds is merely
another Luray on a much smaller scale.
It contains the same .sort of stalactite
and stalagmitic ornamentation in the
same beautiful rainbow color combina-
tions. It lacks the small lakes, creeks
and springs of Luray, but there is an
opening through which drippings from
the nearby cliff are supposed to flow-
so slowly that they barely dampen the
rocks. It is the slow flowing of this
'water over the iron, sulphur and cop-
per deposits in the rocks that causes
the forming of the stalagmites, accord-
ing to the guide, who declared that
it required one hundred years of this
tedious process to form one inch of
stalagmite. So the great days of the
Cave of the Winds will be in the fu-
of 1879, and a delegation from
Japanese diet.

Q. Please inform a constant reader ' •1e
busy and see to it that the publicity already started over the State
shall not result in a disappointment. It is possibly not amiss to
here state that The Statesman stands ready and willing to do its
full share towards placing before the reading public every fact and
helpful detail that may accrue to the end of pushing the fair propo-
sition along, but it is likewise essential that something be done by
those in charge of the proposed Central Texas Fair, before it can be
intelligently discussed.
One thing is certain: If there is to be a fair this year, or even
a nucleus upon which a greater one may be budded hereafter, the
time is at hand to make the effort without further ado.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept 3.,Gov-

day. when the lower house of the legis-
lature with a quorum present, non-

olution. The Governor had been re-

is asked to leave a hairpin. This Ken-

are already married and want a di-
vorce, leave a hairpin not onghe wall,
but on the ceiling. Don’t be embar-
rassed by the lack of precedent. There
aren’t any on the ceiling yet, but this
ia a good time to start the collection.’
The trip being completed, several
members of the party desired to take
photographs of the cave and its spec,
imens, and guide obligingly produced
a tripod for the benefit of the tourists.
One couple who had a small baby with ;
them placed the youngster on a large,
cold, stalagmitic rock, but he refused
to enter the spirit of the thing and
had to be hurried from the cave, loud-
ly protesting.
According to the last words of the
guide, the Cave of the Winds was dis-
covered by two small boys in 1886. Th®
parents of the boys are said .to have
been greatly disappointed that the cave
did not contain a gold mine, which,
figuratively speaking, It does today. It
is estimated that 1.000 persons visit it
every day, which attendance at 31.10 a
head constitutes a very satisfactory
revenue. The "Cave of th® Winds" is
a title based on a slight draught, which
may be felt at one end.
The Inevitable Curie Shop.
Connected with the cave of course,
is the usual curio shop. Its tempera-
ture seems to be hovering around 140
degrees after the cool, damp atmos-
phere of th® cave, so that it holds only
the fleeting attention of the tourists.
At its door the rubberneck wagon was
waiting, and the party was soon seated
and on its way, the chauffeur taking
up the business of interpreting the
landscape where th® guide in the cave
left off.
"flee that square hole in that cliff
over there," he said, as the car slid
clumsily down the hill. "That’s St.
Peter’s Gate- as close as you’ll ever

A. Richardson summarizes the more

tric test for muscular irritability; (5)
the ammonia hypodermic test; (6)

"Spuds and apples, apples and

tracks. ' ,
Th® potatoes come from Colorado, in
most instances, judging from the tags
on the freight cars The apples ar®
generally from Idaho and, though dif-
ferent "shades of appetite" are whet-
ted as one looks at the display of both,
one certainly gets the idea that the
i seven fat years ar® here—from the
quantities of both potatoes and apples.
Different opinions were held by
freight men, however. ’’Fine lot of
apples," the record keeper at the M K.
& T. remarked as numerous bushels
were being unloaded. "To dum many
spuds," said the truckman as he wiped
his brow and heaved another crate on
his truck. __

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., aug.
30.—it used to be a strain on wind ana
limb to get over these mountains and
see the moat spectacular of the scen-
try, but nowadays the strain falls on
the pocekt-book, the imagination and
the ear drum.
All of these pressures are applied
by the highly organized and opulent
gentlemen who conducted you in au-
tomobiles over the wildreness that gave
so much of toil and danger to our for-
bears.
These conductors of sightseeing part-
ies charge you a good, steep price,
and in order to give you a money s
worth, they liberally throw in an un-
broken stream of conservation. You
see the Rocky Mountains now in the
same way you see Chinatown or Coney
Island But the mountains call for
mor. imangination than the city. In
the Garden of the Gode, for example,
which looks to the uninstructed be-
holder like a sort of celestial stone
How would you feel if you had lived
in Tuxpam, Mexico, State of Vera
Cruz, for the last forty-eight years,
without having noted a raid on your
ranch property, anything whatever
missing, throughout the past several
years of strenuous life in that republic,
and had awakened on a sleeper in Aus-
tin. this morning? Would you not feel
that you had been the lucky man out
of ten thousand, as well as something
of a hero for having "stood by" all that
time, especially during the times can-
nons roared within a few miles of your
own residence?
That experience has now become his-
tory with R. F. Willy, who registered
at the Driskill hotel early Friday morn-
ing, bringing with him two grandsons,
R. D. Grimes of Houston and Geo. Willy
of Angleton, the two latter having come
to Austin to matriculate in St. Edwards
College.
Mr. Willy talked entertainly of Mex-
ico. He said he had many prosperous
years there, especially during the presi-
dency of Porfirio Diaz; he acknowl-
edged that things had not seemed
quite the same since that iron hand
released its hold on the government.
He stated that he nor any of his fam-
ily ever left Mexico through personal
fear except in 1916, after a band of
Mexicans had crossed into the United
States at Columbus, N. M., soon after
which General Pershing and his men
crossed the Mexican border in pursuit
of Villa. Mr. Willy stated that he came
to Austin for a while, during the search
for Villa.
On the return of Mr. Willy and fam-
ily to their Mexico ranch, he stated,
not a thing had been molested on or
about his ranch by the Mexican rebels

One lone Mexican, who had been in
his employ he said, and who, being
a scholar from the north, had taught
his children both in Spanish and
American, deliberately turned over
twenty good horses and saddles to the
Mexican soldiery, thus showing his in-
gratitude for the position he had been
given with the family, as well as his
treachery. Mr. Willy laughed as he
told of this one Mexican’s misdeed,
stating that all the other employes on
the ranch not only discountenanced the
act, but gave the dishonest "hombre"
very good reasons for going to other
fields before Mr. Willy returned.

As in the Virginia cave, desperate
efforts have been made to find appro-
priate names for all the conspicuous
formations. There is an Inverted Fry-
ing Pan, a Pig’s Head, a Miniature Bat-
tleship. and a large Slice of Breakfast
Bacon. These are lighted up with elec-
tric lights, carefully placed about the
walls jn containers resembling ordi-
nary dustpans, if you are going in for
the interpretation business. The floor
of the cave is carpeted with a rubber
covering, designed to keep the visitors
from slipping, but every once in a while
some careless person disregards this
protection and skids rapidly over the
rocks. Bridges have also been built

it in a wire cage, not because it is dan-

self receive no pension for the part of
a quarter which has elapsed since his
last payment. The accrued pension
covering such a period may, however,
be paid to his wife or to a minor child
under sixteen years of age if he leaves i

Q. What is a "common scold?*
W H S
A. A common scold is defined as one
who. by the practice of habitual scold-
ing. disturbs the peace of the neigh-
borhood. The common law took cogni-
zance of the offense and resorted to
various unpleasant devices as punish-
ment for those convicted of it. Among
the punishments were the stocks, the
ducking stool, and the brank (a form
of bridle). The practice of punishing
common scolds"survives sporadically in
the United States, in some of which it
is recognized in the penal statutes, but
the punishment has been changed to
fine and imprisonment.
