Austin. Tex. An important decision
afTed lug local option elections was
rendered Wednesday by ttie supremo
court, the effect of which Is to reverse
previous holdings of the court of crim-
inal appeals. The gist nf the court's
decision, expressed through an able
opinion by Mr Justice Williams, em-

Senator Peeler said the bill had been
approved by Attorney General David-
son and Insurance Commissioner Iajvu
and given to him to Introduce.
Brachfleld vigorously attacked the
! bill and said that It would have the
fffect of giving surety oompaulcs the
(opportunity to violate the anti-trust
law.
Peeler's request that the bill lie over
until next Monday in order that he
might obtain some information from
the insurance department and attorney
general about it was granted.

having a clear Held, furnished sensa-

«:t theogallerlcs who relish that sort

solemnly d< dared that no final ball or
reception should be given by the stu-
dents of the I'niversitv of Texas with
the official sanction or recognition of
that institution, otherwise no money
would be paid from the state treasury
for the support of said Institution. Lat-
er in the day, after the members had
partaken of dinner and perhaps felt
better, they iev<ised their action as
expeditiously as an engineer reverses
a locomotive when he sees a broken
rail ahead and removed the ball from
the ball.

The o'her proposition Is that no val-

it is ordered tho status of all the ter-
ritory which It contains is tho same In

The court of criminal appeals held
to th affirmative of these two ques-
