AI'STIN, Tex.. March in.—Consideration
.of the Wlgginton bill, which seeks to
impose a '1 per cent gross production tax
on all crude oil In Texas, was begun in
the Senate late this afternoon. Senator
Carlock urged tbe adoption of the minority
committee report, which recommends the
tax* he reduced to 14 per cent. At tho '2
per cent rate the measure is <*sihi.d>d to
produce a revenue to tlie State of $-\H(m),
000 annually and at 1 U per < cut |1,»50,WM).
Senator Carlock thought the lesse;- rate
sufficient to meet the needs «»f the State
and pointed out. that tbe production is iu
creasing annually.
"Do uot kill the goose that laid the
golden egg," lie urged. "A tax larger than
1 y-} per cent should not he levied on any
one industry. The coal and sulphur pro-
duction of the State are practically tax
free and if more revenue is needed other
lines Hbould be looked into."
Senator Buchanan of Scurry also sup-
ported the ly. per cent tax by saying
landowners paid a 05 per cent ad valorem
tax and the lesser rate was sufficient.
"One and one-half rer cent is enough,"
according to Senator NVestbrook, who pre-
faced his remarks with the statement that
his position would surprise some of his
colleagues.
Senator Cousins, pleaded for the small
producer nnd said a 2 per ceut tax would
be extinction for them.
"My heart bleeds for the small pro-
ducer," said Senator Strickland, "but 1
have not seen their emaciated forms and
unless 1 change my mind before the vote
is tiikeu I will vote for the - per cent tax.
"1 think this Legislature will go down
in history as being most favorable to the
big Interests, almost to the polut of
scandal."
This measure was pending when the
Senate adjourned.
When the Senate assembled at o'clock
to continue legislative business after a day
and a half of debate on the I'arr-Glass
cock case, twelve local bills were passed
In rapid succession creating independent
school districts and providing special road
laws.
Pecan Official State Trff.
The pecan tree is dsclarsd to b« the?
Texas State tree uuder a bill by Senator
Dean passed finally by the Senate.
Senator Caldwell introduced a resolution
expressing high esteem for the Confeder-
ate Home and its inmates. The resolu-
tion was the result of a statement by J.
C. Logging, superintendent, saying An
Legislature looked upon the veterans of
the home as scalawags and not worthy of
consideration. It was adopted.
In view of the fact that the audit of the
State Treasury cannot be completed be-
fore the end of the present session flie
Senate adopted a resolution by Senator
Clark calling for the report to be made to
the first called session of the Legislature.
The Senate refused to concur in the
House amendment to the marital rights
bill by Senator Dorough. The original
measure permitted married women to dis-
pose of their separate property without
the consent of the husband and amend-
ments required that an order from the Dis-
trict Court be secured before than can be
done. The bill was referred to a free con-
ference committee for adjustment.
The House amendment to the Cousins
minimum wage bill, substituting the Sup-
erintendent of Public Instruction for the
Attorney General, was adopted after some
debate. A motion by Senator Dayton to
refer the bill to a committee failed.
The Senate concurred in the House
amendment to Senator Hell's bill making an
emergency appropriation for the support
of the Live Stock Sanitary Commission,
itefus* to Concur on I^alsir Hill.
House amendments to the McNealus bill
firovidiug for a woman's division to the
abor bureau were refused by the Senate
and a conference committee was appointed
to adjust differences. Minor amendments
by the House to Senator Suiter's bill mak-
ing it forgery to sign the will of another
were concurred in by the Senate.
Senator Buchanan of Scurry moved en-
grossment of the House bill by Marshall
spoking to validate sales of school lands
made under acts of lhbil by vesting the
mineral rights of the laud in the present
owner. This measure was pending when
the Senate took up consideration of the
Parr-Glasscock question at 11 o'clock Wed-
nesday.
Senator Gibson called the attention of
the Senate to a decision of the Supreme
Court yesterday deciding the point sought
to be settled by the bill. The State gave
a warranty deed to certain lands in West
Texas, according to Senator Dayton, and
he thought the deeds should be backed up
by the passage of the bill.
Senator liell declared the bill would not
take away one cent from the school chil-
dren of Texas, but ouly seeks to give the
men who made West Texas by fighting
prairie dogs and jack rabbits. 'The bill
is just ana right and I am for it" Then,
directing his remarks to Senator McNealus
he said: "You have been fighting agaiust
West Texas and now you get yourself right
with me, Senator."
Senator Dudley moved the previous
uestlon and the measur® waa engrossed,
" to 10.
Senator McNealus thought the Senate
should adjourn and get on a new calendar
day so as to consider measures that were
ordered printed iu the journal. Last eve-
ning the Senate recused Instead of ad-
journing so as to continue the Parr case
on the calendar. Senator Clark made u
motion to adjourn, but it was voted down.
Then Senator McNealus vigorously de-
clared that attempts were being made to
kill the constitutional convention resolu-
tion by postponing it and made the threat
not to call it up at all.
Senator Clark secured consideration of a
House bill by Curtis, which seeks to per-
mit manufacturing cities of 600 population
to issue bunds in excess of present statu-
tory limitations. He said the purpose of
the measure was to permit Niles City, near
Fort Worth, to secure funds to build an
adequate sewage disposal system to comply
with the anti pollution laws. The bill was
engrossed and finally passed.
A messenger from the House announced
that body had refused to concur In the
request of tbe Senate for a conference com-
mittee to consider tbe differences on tbe
date of slue die adjournment.

AUSTIN, Tex., March 13.—There will be
introduced in the House tomorrow morn-
ing by Representative Leonard Tillotson
of Austin County an amendment of the sine
I die amendment adjournment resolution to
j fix the date of adjournment at 0 o'clock
i Wednesday, March 11*. Air. Tillotson stated
late this afternoon to a correspondent of
The Express that following the refusal of
the House to grant the request of the Sen-
ate for a Free Conference Committee he
took the matter up with floor leaders in
the upper body. At tbe conference it was
practically agreed, he said, that the date
suggested would be satisfactory to the
Senate.
.Mr. Tillotson led the fight in the House
this afternoon for the adoption of the Sen-
ate recommendation for adjournment on
March >1 after that body had declined to
accede to the date asked for bv the House.
In leading the fight Mr. Tillotson took
tne position that the House will injure
its own interests in the mass of pending
legislation by refusing to grant the Free
Conference Committee, or meeting the
terms of the Senate, and that nothing
can be gained by refusing to concur with
the Senate.
With the understanding that the Senate
will make the concession of agreeing to
adjourn on the 1Mb, Mr. Tillotson, who
has given close attention to the sentiment
of the House, concedes that the House
will agree also to that date.
Another thing that makes concurrence
by the House almost certain is the close
vote shown on the matter this afternoon,
assuming that with the Senate yielding
its position tbe yielding will soften the
attitude of the lower body. So far the
House has made one concession in agree-
ing to March is, when it had previously
agreed on March 14. The Senate so far
has stood pat on adjournment March 21.
The matter of determining at an early
moment just when tbe date of adjournment
will come is of great importance to both
houses, as all contest legislation can be
sidetracked and the big measures given
rik'ht of way. In this respect it might be
said that there are now any number of
big matters before the Legislature and
many of them will die 011 the calendar
for want of time, even though the date
of sine die adjournment is determined
early. The amendment to be offered by
Mr. Tillotson will take precedence over all
other matters and will come up early. It
is hoped the matter will be settled iu both
houses tomorrow.
On motion of William A. Illack of Bexar,
who was shown special courtesy bv Speak-
er Thomason, the House granted unani-
mous consent to take up and pass the
bill by Senator Hertzberg of Bexar to per-
mit the Artesian Belt Railroad at San An-
tonio to take up and move certain portions
of its track. The construction to be taken
up by the railroad is from a connection
with the Galveston, Ilarrisburg & San An-
tonio Railway Company in the town of
MacDonna to the town of Kirk, a distance
of approximately three and one-tenth
miles in a southeasterly direction and all
iu Bexar County.
Bnx>ke, who has been in California several
mouths, was iu his accustomed seat when court
coriveued Thursday morning.
The following decisions were rendered:
Reversed and remanded: C. J. Gerlaoh A
Bro. vs. J. P. Duboee et al, from Polk.
Affirmed: B. L. Ay cock vs. the Farrafln
Oil Company et al, from Hardin; Beanmont
Traction Company vs. E. W. Arnold et ux,
from Jefferson; Beaumont Traction Compauy
vs. C. L. Cooper et ux, from Jefferson.

Is Your Blood Poor?
If it is, You Need Vinol
Anaemic, run-down, nervous, devitalized conditions
result from poor or thin blood. A glance at the
formula of Vinol, printed on the label, will show
that it contains the very ingredients necessary to
make good blood. It soon creates a healthy appe-
tite, improves digestion, and helps you to get full
benefit from your daily food, and builds you up.
Drewrrilla, N. H.
"My daughter was anaemic, bad
poor blood and suffered from indiges-
tion and bilious attacks. As Vinol
helped my son, 1 gave it to my
daughter — she soon improved in
health, and it has built her up and re-
stored her health." — Mrs.N.BurnelL
Bradford, Pa.
"I have used Vinol for impovep
ished blood. I was broken out with
a rash and ran down so it was hard
for me to keep about my work
Other medicines did no good, but V inol
enriched my blood ana improved mj
condition very rapidly. "-Rose Laaky.
Wot all run-down, nervous, anaemic conditions, tNk wonaon, overworked men
feeble old people and delicate children, there 1* no reiuedj like Vinol.

The Frame counts for something—
but after all the Portrait is most important
A Player-Piano should present a beautiful appearance,
hot the am fill thing is the music it give*. If you had a delicate,
in (ant piece of work to be done, and you wanted to be sere it was
done right, you would hire the most experienced man for the job. The
manufacturers of the reproducing APOLLO Grand Player made a
reproducing Grand six years before any other manufacturer in America.
It is fair to assume that we know how to make an instrument of this
kind. When you hear the wonderful
Reproducing y4POLKD Grand Player
You will realize at once that the instrument has achieved the
seemingly impoesible, by giving you an exact reproduction of the emotion, feel-
ing and expression of the artist. It ia a beautiful Grand Piano with a full, rich
tone, worthy of being played by the most accomplished musician. It is an elec-
trically operated, reproducing instrument, witb no foot pedaling to annoy you.
It can produce the daiatiast pianissimo and th« meet crashing fortissimo with eqnal accuracy. It
will pUr a so artistically that if a certain was betwetn yon would think th« artist
was at the piano. Ail as to prove these claims ssd we will be glad to do so.
