Mr. Murray of Wilson spoke against
postponement and urged the necessity

President Transmits Text of Treaty
With Note to Senate.
Washington. Feb. 15.-—The protocol
or treaty between he United States and
Santo Domingo, drawn up by Mr. Daw-
son. the American minister, and Mr.
Sanches, the Dominican foreign mninise
ter. for President Morales’ government,
reached Washington today, and was
taken by Secretary Hay immediately to
the White House. The President and
Secretary Hay went over the treaty
very carefully and found that it was
In good shape for Immediate transmit-
tal to the senate. Briefly stated, it
provides that the United States shall
collect the customs revenues of Santo
Domingo, and turn over to President
Morales' government a specific per
centage necessary to meet the expense
of administration and disburse the -re-
mainder among foreign claimants. The
United States undertakes to respect
the integrity ef Santo Domingo and the
protocol or treaty must be- aproved
by the United States senate and the
Dominican government.
In anticipation of the arrival of this
convention, a letter has been prepared
at the president’s direction to accom-
pany the document when it goes to the
senate. This id something more than
a mere letter of transmittal, but it
does not undertake to discuss broadly
the constitutional questions involved
in the conflicting claims of the execu-
tive and the senate as to treaty mak-
ing powers which have grown out of
the treatment of the arbitration treat-
section of the Williams intangible as-
set bill and it passed to engrossment
with a whoop of applause.
The second section was then read and
after some slight verbal changes
passed at once to engrossment, the op-
poition seemingly having melted away.
The third section was next read, but
as it was long and the hour late, the
house adjourned without action.
Committee’s Rensom for ‘Adverse Re-
port OB Measare.
I Austin. Feb. 15.— (Speciah) —The
I committee on state affairs in filing
its adverse report on the Love-Holmes
I high and uniform liquor license bill.
said:
"The amount at which this bill places
the license would legalise a business
which by the amount of this license
would be in Tact prohibited.
“The peouliar effect of this law. In-
stead of "suppressing gambling dives,
etc., would be to strengthen them in
their nefarious practices.
•The effect of the law would be to
close 55 per cent of the liquor houses
in the country and small towns and
centralise the busihess in cities in the
hands of a few large Mlodns, among
which class it is shown that most of
the crimes are committed.
Wiliam Wins Victory for His In-
tangible Asset Bill.
Austin. Feb. 15.—(Special.)—The
house met ' in regular session at 1
o'clock. The Williams intangible asset
bill came up under unfinished business,
with the motion of Judge Brown of
Wharton for a postponement until
next Tuesday pending.
Mr Fitzhugh spoke in favor of post-
ponement. declaring that he does not
know what an intangible sst is, and
he wanted time to find out
Mr. Williams spoke against post-
ponement and sid that the problem
of taxing intangibleassets had been
before the people of Texas more than
two years; that if his bill could not
be understood by the gentleman from
Tarrant (Mr. Fitzhugh) there was
something radically wrong either with
his bill or the gentleman's wits, and
it behooved the house to settle- the
home, Brownwood, and will occupy th*
pukpit Sunday.
Dr. T. S. lyce, former pastor of th*
church, will now devote his entire time
to Austin college, of which de is the
president.
visions of thi* bill, and the amendment
carried.
Mr. Low then offered an amendment
exeluding railroad, gas, sewer, street
railway, electric light and electric
power companies frmn the provisions
of th* act. s
Mr Wiliams took the foor , and
made a masterly argument in favor
of hi* MH. He maintained that rall-
roads in Texas paid Less taxes propor-
tionately than any other class of prop-
erty. In support of his contention, he
presented exhaustive statistics. He as-
serted that the Texas A Pacific had an
actual market value baaed on its stocks
and bonds of over B4B.fiOd.OOO, but was
assessed at >10,000.000 and hence paid
taxes on only 23 per cent of its actual
values.

The vote was then put, and the mo-
tion to postpone was defeated by L
vote of 80 to 35.
The bill was then taken us section
by section. Judge Cobbs offered an
amendment which excluded all sleep-
ing palace and dining cars from the
operation of this bill.
Mr Williams opposed this amend-
ment on the grounds that such sleep-
ing and dining cars were owned by a
company which had a complete mo-
nopoly and fixed its rates without con-
trol from any source. He claimed that
they did an enormously profitable

Austin, Feb 15. — (Spelal) — Th*
committee on counties met tonight to
give a public hearing es to the forma-
tion of the new county of Ross, which
it is proposed to carve out of part of
the counties of Eastland. Comanche,
Brown, Coleman and Callahan. F. S.
Russell of Eastland county spoke first.
He declared that 1.800 citizens of East-
land county wanted this county. He
paid a glowing tribute to his section,
deem ring that it - raised goober peas
that would put the kinks in a pig's tail
in two weeks. Judge C. L. McCartney
of Brownwood spoke to opposition of
the new county. He said that the tak-
ing of this strip in the north of Brown
county, consisting of 133 square miles,
would take away the richest sectin
of that county.
F. L. Gates of Eastland spok- sgaffsi
the new county. He said that Just as
Brown, the section propsed to be cut
off from Eastland county, consisting of
208 square, miles, is the richest and
most valuable section of that county,
a section which he denominated “th*
vitals of Eastland." He objected stren-
uously to the legislature's foreing East-
land county to_commit hari-kari.
Mr. Michael of Rising Sun, spoke in
favor of the new county, and refered to
voluminous bundles of petitions. -From
his statements' it would appear that sup-
porters of this measure can be found

He stated further that the rolling
stock of the great railroads was as-
sessed at less than the wagons and
buggies of the state. He claimed also
that repairs and betterments were not
reported as such by railroads but as
"operating expenses," and consequently
to a great extent esc aped taxation.
In a voice charged with feeling he
said: "It is *ur sworn duty to make
these great corporations shoulder their
just share .of th* burden* of taxation.
We should see to it that by our acts ।
the people shall know we are perform-
ing our full duty. I do not ask you to I
disc riminate against railroads but sim-
ply to see that taxes are laid equally
on the railroads and on th* people.
Then and not until them will thia in- i
jurious hostility towards railroads ex- 1
isting among large classes of our peo- 1
pie cease.

bureau today issued a special bulletin
•eying that a rapid alteration of snow
storms and cold waves during the last

longed intervals of thawing out ha*

sori, Ohio, and middle and upper Mis-
sssppi rivers, and the rivers of the
Middle Atlantic and New England
state* with an unusual depth of snow,
and tilled the streams with heavy ice
that has formed gorges that will under
certain conditions cause serious dam-
age. Noth withstanding these threat-
ening conditions, comparatively little

will be so cool as to allow the ice to
break and move" out of the stream*
gradually and the snow to pose away
iu guan tittes not greater than the
water courses are capable of safely
transporting. If heavy rains and high
temperatures should suddenly come
with this large snow covering, disas-
trous floods will result.
