for. according to Mr. Pierce's testimony,
as follows:
Securities loaned by Mr. Pierce to \an
Rlaifom oi" which the latter made ioan*
which Pierce had to pay. $700,0oo
Loan from the Mississippi Valley Trust
Company of St. Louis made by VanBlar
com. but to which Pierce's name was
signed as guarantor by Pierce's son-ln-
low. Ebon Richards, $600,000. This loon,
Pierce says, he had to pay.
Pierce's name signed by his son-in-law
without Pierce's knowledge to ft guar-
anty to buy bonds of the Tennessee Cen-
tral Railroad to the exteut of $1,500,000.
Advanepp by Pierce to pay the expenses
of the railroad after the syndicate hod
collapsed. $4,000,000.
There advances resulted from fhe sign-
ing of Pierce's name to a guaranty to pay
the bonds.
Mr. Pierce further testified he under-
stood that the 15,000 shares wbkti the.
National Bank of Commerce seeks to re-
cover were turned over to former Senator
Joseph W. Ralley' of Texas, as assignee
<f the Tennessee Construction Company
after the loan for which it had been
pledged as security was paid. The bunk
now claims that the loan wa* not paid,
and that the securities were taken out of
the bank by VanBlarcotn. The Tennessee
construction Company was the concern
that promoted the Tennessee ^Central Rail-
way and the Nashville TertuiKal Company.
"Senator Bailey sold over $5,000,000 of
the property of the construction company,'
said Pierce, "and It is my understanding
that from the sale />f these properties tha
lean at the National Bank of Commerce
was paid and that the stock then went,
to Bailey as assignee for the construction
company The stock later was pledged to
the Standard Trust Company of New *ork
H Bailey, and remained there for three
years. It finally was delivered to Kben
Uichards on my order after the I rust com
pany bad notified me that It had no flir-
tl.et claim to It.
'The stock Is In my possosslon, or in
the possession of m> agents, although I
have never r.een It."
BAILEY WILL NOT TALK
Says He Cannot Divulge Affairs of

CHICAGO. April !!«.-Former Senator
Railev of Texas tonight declined to throw
any light on the transactions Involving
15.000 shares of Nashville Terminal stock
for which Henry Clay Pierce of the Wr-
tfrs-Pierce Oil Company Is being sued In
St. Louis.
"The Tennessee Construction Company
is my client and 1 cannot talk about its
affairs."' he said "I will say, however,
that the terminal stock was not pledged
as collateral It was deposited In the
bank under contra* t and removed when
the contract was fulfilled."
Mr. Bailey stopped over In Chicago to-
night on Ids WAV to Galena, 111., where he

Ings most, if not all, of the aspects of a
complicated situation,
"The report of the committee was lls-
cussed by the faculty council In three
meetings nf several hours each. and. aft-
er receiving numerous minor improve-
ments, was unanimously recommended by
council and committee to the general
faculty.
"The Inquiry has shown that the schol-
arship nf fraternity members is below
tlie overage; moreover, In the opinion of '
the faculty, fraternities Intensify social
discriminations, are a prolific source of
student dissension, have allowed tliem
selves to become the medium of most of
the extravagance of student life, and
tolerate "rushing'' methods that are at
once absurd and harmful. On the other
hand students have a right to organize In
friendly groups, and fraternities have
been useful In building bouses serving
as college homes, in officially cherishing
decent social ideals, In promoting friend-
ly Intercollegiate acquaintance, and In
keeping Ihelr alumni in helpful touch
with the university
"The faculty does not favor the Imme-
diate abolition of fraternities and sorori-
ties, because they contain potentiality
of usefulness, and because their abolition
would not eradicate and might not seri-
ously diminish the evils now exhibiting
themselves in part through these organi-
zations. furthermore, to reform them
seems possible, and finally, to abolish
them upon the first organized complaint
before a chance to reform has be.'ri
given would be manifestly unjust.
RBOl' LATION N ECHSSARY.
"The regulation of fraternities Is neces-
sniy, in the opinion of the 'faculty, be-
cause they nff'ot the social and moral
welfare *if the. student body, and because
without outside help they do not seun
to betible to eradicate their present evils,

sytftem. It being probable that most of
tho abuses cited are due to the presence
In fraternities of members who do not
take their university work seriously.
"Justice and fair play demand that ac-
tive opposition to the fraternities should
cease so that they ma.v have every op-
portunity to correct the abuses which
have grown up among them. Those who
do not refrain from such opposition
while the fraternities are attempting to
reform will justly be held responsible, In
a large measure at least, for any fail-
ure which may result.
"The faculty hopes that the assistance
given by these regulations will enable
the right thinking members of the fra-
ternities and sororities largely to remedy
present evils, and thus to prevent aboli-
tion which otherwise may become im-
perative."
C.ROW CELERY NEAR SAN BENITO
Experiments in the l.ower Rio Cirande
Valley Prove Successful.
Special Telegram to The Kxprtst.
SAN BENITO, Tex.. April 26. Experi-
ments hove proved that a fine quality of
celery can be grown ond bleached In the
Lower Rio Grande Valley, and within the
next few days the first shipments of this
vegetable delicacy will be shipped from
San Benito. Among the several growers
of celery on a commercial basis in Ihe
Son Benito section this year is a grower
In the Rio Hondo community, who has
two and one-half acres planted to celery.
Another San Benito grower hus one acre
planted to tills product. Some of these
growers expect ihelr celery crops to yield
as much as $1,000 an ocre.
Shipments of string beans have heen
moving from San Benito for several days
and by next week the farmers will be
shipping beans in carlots.
Practically all the cabbage crop has
been harvested and shipped.
Light rains fell at. San Benito and in
other sections of the Valley during the
present week. While these rains were not
needed where Irrigation Is practiced, they
have not been hurtful to crops.
An agitation for an Improvement tn the
prevailing system of truck marketing and
distributing In the Lower Rio Grande
Viilley has heen commenced, ahd mon,tf be-
lieve that with a solution of some of the
problems in this connection the growers
will be enabled to get more attractive re-
turns for their vegetable crops, which
they undoubtedly can produce so abun-
dantly. It is very probable that a com-
mission w11| be appointed to make a study
of these marketing and distribution prob-
lem* with a view of recommending means
nf Improving existing conditions along
this line.
