• Ansfin. Tex.. Feb. 28.— The names
of the seven appointees withheld in
the executive session of the Senate
. yesterday probably will go before the
Senate tomorrow for confirmation or
rejection without further examination.
Chairman Floyd of the nominations
• committee declared today. He said
he did not intend to call a further
meeting of the nominations commit-
tee. although it had been planned to
exlamine the seven appointees further
regarding their affiliations with secret
organizations.
Four of Governor Neffs appoiutees
-were before the nominations commit-
■ tee yesterday and were questioned re-
garding their affiliation with the Ku
Klux Klan. .1. S. Meyers labor com-
missioner. and Adjutant General Bar-
ton were among those whose names
were upheld at the executive session.
State Health Officer W. H. Beasley
'and Tax Commissioner John G. Wil-
lacy are two appointees who have not
yet been before the committee.
Plan to Adjourn.
Dans are now on foot to terminate I
the regular session of the 38th Legis-
lature on Saturday night. March 10.
From all indications this plan will
prove successful as the Senate has
a sine die resolution pending provid-
ing for final adjournment on March
9. while there are two also pending
in the House one for March 14 and
the other for March 2-». None of the
members of the Legislature have as
yet been found who favor the longer
date as they are anxious to complete
their legislative duties and go home.
Representative Quaid of El Paso
author of the sine die resolution for
March 14. said he would favor chang-
ing the date to March 10. as a com-
: promise to the Senate resolution for
March 9. Speaker Seagler said that
from what he hns been nhle to ascer-
tain. most of the members seem to
•favor March 10. although he added
there are a few members who
J would like to continue two or three
i days beyond that date to make up for

PISO’S
.WEDNESDAY.
the two days spent b? the lawmakers
in the Rio Grande valley.
In the opinion of Representative
Satterwhite of Carson the special ses-
sion for the purpot • of passing the
general appropriation bills will be rail-
ed Governor Neff within 60 days
after adjournment of the regular ses-
sion. and in fact he would Dot be snr-
prised to have the extra session called
tor the early part of April. He be-
lieves this would be better than to
wait until the summer months.
Representative Satterwhite said he
plans to have the governor submit the
state board of equalization bill in the
extra session as he believes he will
have an excellent chance of passing
the measure. This bill was defeated
in the House late Monday by a small
margin of votes and since that time
Satterwhite says he has gained sev-
eral votes for the measure.
Pass Compensation Bill.
With but one dissenting vote the
House passed finally the LeStourgeon
substitute for the Rogers bill amend-
ing the workmen's compensation law.
The bill increases the minimum com-
pensation that shall be paid to in-
jured workmen from $l5 to $22 a
week. An amendment was offered to
make the minimum $25 but Represen-
tative Le Stourgeon opi>osed the
amendment on the ground that rep-
resentatives of the State Federation
of Labor had agreed that $22 would
be sufficient. Another change the bill
makes in the present woikmen’s com-
pensation law is that it provides a
penalty of 33 1-3 per cent aguinst the
insurance companies that appeal from
the awards made by the tate indus-
trial accident board and this penalty
may be added to the original award.
The bill also places the burden of
proof on the party who appeals from
the decision of the industrial accident
The House refused the request of
the Senate for the return of the Mel-
son House bill which provides for
the separation of the department of
insurance from that of banking. On
the motion of Representative Baker of
Milam the House also refused to con-
cur to the Senate amendments to the
bill and requested that a free con-
ference be named to settle the differ-
ences between the two houses. The
speaker granted the request and ap-
pointed Representatives Baker of Mi-
lam ; Melson. Shires Smith and Car-
penter of Dallas.
By a vote of 97 to 17 the House
refused to engross the Collins House
bill which provides that insurance
companies shall not be liable on in-
surance policies where the property
insured is mortgaged and burns and
it is proven that the owner of the
property was responsible for the fire.
The passage of suob a bill it was
contended bj Representative Pope of
Nueces and others would in many
eases cause the insurance companies
to evade payment of insurance poli-
cies. especially on automobiles.
Coyotes and l*rairie Dogs.
There was a heated debate in the
House over the Carson House bill
authorizing the co-oj»eration by the
department of agriculture and A. nnd
M. College with the United States
Department of Agriculture in the de-
struction-of prairie dogs coyotes and
other wild and predatory animals.
Members from West Texas where the
prairie dogs and coyotes abound urged
the passage of the measure while
ihe members from other sections of
state op]>osed the measure. ]iep-
re:entative Baker of Milam declared
the money sought could better he used
for the school children of Texas. The
bill < arrios an appropriation nf $50.-
000. Representative Beasley offered
an amendment placing the administra-
tion of the Jaw under the game fish
and oyster commissioner's depart-
ment. This amendment was voted
down and the bill passed to engross-
ment by a vote of 67 to 55.
The House also passed to engross-
ment and final passage under a sus-
pension «»f the constitutional rule the
Stewart of Reeves bill establishing
a standard system of weights and
measures.
Pass Sheriff Fer Bill.
During the afternoon session the
Senate passed finally the Bledsoe Sen-
ate bill regulating the fees of sheriffs.
’The bill applies only to the smaller
muntin of the state. It gives sher-
iffs n fee nf fifteen cents a day for
-afekerping of prisoners with a max-
imum of $2OO per month nnd in-
creases other fee? approximately 10
per cent. It also takes out from under
the general fee bill sheriffs in coun-
ties having less thnn 25.000 popula-
tion.
There was also passed finally the
Wood bill regulating salaries nf coun-
ty commissioners. Severe! amendments
were adopted before it was engrossed.
The amendments revise the scale of
valuations on which depend salaries of
vount.v commissioners. The effect of
the measure is tn increase county
commissioners’ salaries in a majority
••f the counties the increase ranging
from 15 to 50 per cent.
Th- Bird House bill providing for
the establishment of a state school of
correspondence was engrossed in the
House. Debate on the measure was
tho oemsinn for several facetious
speeches and frivolous motions. The
vote on engrossment was taken amid
much laughter and general confusion.
The bill has been introduced in each
succeeding Legislature for the past
fifteen years.

ASK YOUR NEIGHBOR
There is hardly a neighborhool in
the United States where women can-
not be found who have delivered bene-
fit from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. For nearly fifty years
this botanic medicine has been over-
coming some of the worst forms of
female ills. As one woman has been
benefited bj' its use she has told
others who have used it with the
same good results; so the use of this
great medicine has spread from shore
to shore by the recommendation of
those who have found it good. There-
fore ask your neighbor: let her tell
you from experience the benefit which
ailing women derive from its use.

WIRELESS AIDS DEAF
Experiments May Mean Much to
Those Who Cannot Hear.
By the AMtociated Preaa.
Feb. 28.—Wireless tele-
phony has -achieved another wonder
made the deaf hear.
Inspired by the report that a 77-
year-old man deaf for 30 years had
listened in successfully at a friend's
home scientists have conducted a
series of experiments at the Marconi
house where Harry Shawer age 13
deaf from birth heard mlisic atyl the
human voice for the first time in his
iife.
The boy was taken before a loud-
speaking device over which a fox trot
was transmitted. He quickly caught
the beat and to it patted bis foot
rhythmically. Then a receiver was
T laced to his ear and he heard -n voice
t was found he could hear through
one ear. but not the other. Two of
his companions from a deaf institu-
tion were tested. One heard the fox
trot; the other could hear nothing.
Dr. MacLeod Yearsley. famous
aurol surgeon said the fact that
Shawer heard through one ear but
could not through the other proved
that he possessed some remnant of
ability to catch sounds which the ord-
inary tuning fork experiments would
never have revealed.
“The most hopeful line of discov-
ery” said Dr. Yearsley. “is that of
the possibility of re-educating the deaf
to hear b> - means of wireless. The
eases of all deaf persons however arc
individual.”
