SHORT TALKS BY
L. T. COOPER.

THU STOMACH.
My. but people's stomachs do cause a
lot of trouble. I offered to wager some
doctors In St. Paul,
Minn., that one-
half of all sickness
Is caused by the
stomach. Alter I
assured them that
my mediclno did
nothing but put
the stomach in
shape and they had
spent a day listen-
ing to what people
who called on me
had to say, they
C. II. POWELL. had to ngree with
me. They (heard
people come In and tell me that for years
they had been near the grave with
Brlght's disease, or lung trouble, or kid-
ney complaint and all manner of diseases
and that the New Discovery had cured
them. O'f course these people were mis-
taken, it wag nothing but their stomachs.
As a matter of fact when the stomach
gives out most everything else is thrown
out of order too.
When a person feels tired and dull and
despondent, is losing flesh and don't
sleep well, has a poor memory, a bad
taste in the mouth, a coated tongue, and
other troubles he's liable to believe a lot
of things are the matter with him. Nine
chances to one it's his stomach. I've
seen Cooper's New Discovery bring bark
health to too many people in Just this
shape to believe anything else. Here's a
letter about it.
"I suffered for a long time without
knowing just what was the matter with
ine. I seldom felt like eating. I lost
greatly in weight. My digestion was ex-
trenielv poor and when I did eat I in-
variably suffered afterward. I was con-
stipated and frequently suffered from
nerve-racking violent headaches. When
I heard of what the Cooper remedies
were doing for others I resolved to try
them."
"Relief came with the first bottle. My
appetito and digestion Improved rapidly.
I am no longer constipated nor do 1 hav<
those dreadful headaehes. I sleep well
' and am gaining flesh." C. H. Powell, 13

she became faint from pain and swooned.
He repeated the attack the next day,
according to the affidavit, and afterward
in Paris he beat her at half hour inter-
vals throughout one entire day, leaving
off only when she would faint away and
could no longer understand what was
happening. Miss Neshit is alleged to
have sworn in tlx* affidavit that she was
in dally fear for her life and that Thaw
acted as a demented person during some
of the assaults.
The affidavit was in some ways a di-
rect contradiction of Hummel's recent
testimony upon the stand. In order
that the defense might not prevent him
from telling the story of the making of
the affidavit, he stated positively that
he was not acting as Miss Neslnt's at-
torney when he drew up the document,
that he was acting solely in the interest
of White and that no legal .potion was
contemplated in behalf of iho young
woman who is now Harry K. Thaw's
wife.
Considerable Surprise.
There was considerable surprise con-
sequently when Mr. Jerome read today
the opening words of the affidavit which
were: "Suprenn- Court, County of New
York: Evelyn Neshit, plaintiff, against
Harry K. Thaw, defendant."
It is said the action contemplated
when the affidavit was made was the
recovery of certain property which it
was alleged Thaw had willfully taken
from the girl. In dictating the affidavit
Hummel referred to himself as Miss
Nesbit's attorney, she being reported to
have said: "I have received certain let-
ters and cablegrams from Thaw which
I havo turned over to my attorney,
Abraham II. Hummel."
The affidavit is also endorsed: "Howe
and Hummel, attorneys for the plaint-
iff."
When Mr. Delmas began the introduc-
tion of testimony in sur-rebuttal he in-
troduced first of all the record in the
trial and conviction of Hummel on con-
spiracy charges. He started to read the
entire record but had not reached the
remarks Mr. Jerome made at the sen-
tencing of Hummel and which Mr.
JDelmas wanted to present to the jury
when Mr. Jerome said he would admit
the entire record without objection. Mr.
Delmas then said he would save the
District Attorney's references to Hum-
mel for the defense's summing up.
Delmas' Sur-rebuttal.
Next Mr. Delmas put on the stand
Jthree policemen who saw Thaw the
night of the tragedy or early in the
morning thereafter, and they all de-
clared that he either looked or acted
irrationally. To two of them he com-
plained of hearing young girls' voices.
The witnesses admitted on cross exam-
ination that there were seven women of
the street in the station house the night
Thaw was th< re and they were making
considerable noise, but could not be
heard from Thaw's cell.
After this testimony had been present-
ed Mr. Delmas passed to its final stages
of the trial by introducing the first of
seven .alienists employed by the defense,
three of the experts being new to the
case. Dr. Graeme M. Hammond and Dr.
Jelliffe who have been in the case from
the first and Dr. W. A. White, superin-
tendent of the Government Hospital for

BILL FOR CLEAN
LINEN FOR HOTELS
' IS COMMENDED
Senator Griggs Receives Great
Mass of Letters Approving
His Sanitary Measure.
OFFERED AS 1 MEANS
OF CHECKING DISEASE
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., March 18.—Senator
George 15. Griggs' mail has become quite
voluminous since he introduced the san-
itary bill relating to hotels, boarding
houses, and sleeping houses, having for
its object the prevention of tuberculosis
and other throat and lung troubles which
originate to a large extent from unclean
bed clothing. Letters by the score have
come io Senator Griggs from members
of ihe traveling fraternity, doctors and
others who patronize hotels.
Speaking to the Express correspondent
Senator Griggs said:
••Not only this state, but all other states
have passed rigid sanitary laws affect-
ing the Pullman and other sleeping cars
and requiring them to fumigate their
bed clothing at the end of every run,
and to cover entirely with linen all blank-
ets, coverlets, or other covering upon
the bed under which the traveler
sleeps."
Senator Griggs further said:: "The best
class of hotels throughout the country
as a rule are cleanly and sanitary, but
the cheaper classes of hotels and the
sleeping houses and bunk houses are so
uncleanly that anv man who ever had
a throat or lung disease is liable to be-
come a consumptive from sleeping in one
of these places for one night. Another
thing, the traveling public and others
who are not financially able to stop at
the host hotels of the country are en-
titled to protection against tuberculosis
and other throat and lung troubles just
the same as if they were able to stop at
the best hotels.
"The condition existing throughout the
country in this regard is sufficiently
alarming to demand the attention of
the Legislature and to call for such meas-
ures as will afford protection to the poor*
er classes of our people who are com-
pelled from time to time to stop and
sleep in the cheaper grade or hotels and
sleeping houses. In fact, there is greater
reason for extreme sanitation in these
cheap places, the patrons being those
who cannot afford to stop at the better
class of hotels, and for the reason that
they are not furnished with as pure food,
and their physical conditions are more re-
ceptive of diseases than those who live
upon tho 'fat of the land.'
"This sanitary measure, is especially
demanded for the protection of our poorer
classes of our people wSio frequently find
it necessary to stop at the cheaper class
hotels. The poor man who pays for bis
bed and lodiring is entitled to clean lin-
ens and bedding that is free from bac-
teria, just as much as the man who Is
financially able to sleep under silks
and down.
"The traveling salesmen of our country
are entitled to this sanitary proteetion
and they will see that the law is en-
forced ir it is once enacted. Owing to
the prevalence of the dread disease, tub-
erculosis, in our country, the crowded
condition of the hotels and boarding
houses has caused the people to demand
of this Legislature the expenditure of
large sums of money for the establish-
ment of sanitariums throughout the State
for the cure, or rather, houses of refuge
for those who have consumption: but
In mv opinion, it calls more loudly for
the measure by way of preventing the
origination of' tuberculosis and other
diseases.
"The old saying, 'An ounce of preven-
tion is worth a pound of cure,' applies
particularly in this case. My mail indi-
cates that the pending measure Is not
only a popular one In the minds of the
people generally, but is one which calls
loudly, for its enactment into a law."

two of the rifles were said to have been
issued to Privates J. Wilson and Thomas
Taylor.
Senator Foraker immediately had sub-
poenas issued for Tayloi and Wilson and
for the recall ot* McCurdy. Me also asked
that the War Department be instructed
to send for Lieutenant Luiu'lson, who
commanded Company B at the time of
the a.l'lray. Secretary Taft, in a letter
to the committee, pointed out that the
men who did the shooting may have used
any guns they could secure, and that
Taylor and Wilson cannot be held to be
guilty because of the showing made by
the tests at the arsenal.
Gray's Alleged Confession.
The alleged confession of 1>. C. Gray,
supposed t>» be a former member of Com-
pany B, which was printed at Galveston,
was formally denied today in a telegram
from Major Mocksom at San Antonio to
tin War Department. Major Bloeksom
said in his dispatch that he had received
a, tfl«>gram from the Chief of Police at
Galveston saying that the publication
was a fake.
Senator .Fo raker early today said that
ho would order the subpoena of the ed-
itor ot the Galveston News in order that
he might secure a statement from him
concerning the story, but in view of the
admission that the alleged confession is
not true, he later said that this would
probably not be necessary.
Senator Forak-cr had the alleged con-
fession put in the record, with the denial,
which had been furnished to Chairman
Warren by the War Department. The
Ohio Senator also had recorded the fact
tl at there was not a man named D. C.
Gray in the discharged battalion, but
that there were two men named Gray,
one (J. \V. and the oth< r J. H. Gray, in
Company C. Both of these men wero
heard from today, denying that they had
made confessions. One is In West Vir-
ginia and the other in Pennsylvania.
Testimony Today.
No member of the Twenty-fifth Infan-
try was examined today and no testi-
mony was given which had any direct
bearing on iho shooting, except that of
Ht iry Watson, a private of Company M,
Twenty-sixth Infantry. Ho testified ho
was left behind as guard at the post
when the Twenty-sixth Infantry moved
out, and that he j-aw loose shells of both
the Krag-Jorgensen arid Springfield type
lying about, the barracks. He said that
he also saw 38-callber revolvers and am-
munition lying around, and the barracks
were open, so that citizens could secure
access to this ammunition. On cross-
examination he admitted that it is al-
ways easy for soldiers to secure extra
ammunition when they desire it.
Reports of experts of the Ordnance
Department of tho army who examined
the thirty-three discharged shells picked
up in the streets of Brownsville on tho
morning following the affray were laid
before the Seriate Committee on Military
Affairs today by the officers who exam-
ined the shells at the Springfield arsenal
tinder glass and microscope. The con-
clusion of the- War Department, ex-
pressed in a letter to Chairman Warren
from Secretary Taft, which was present-
ed by Lieutenant Hawkins of the Ord-
nance' Department, is that the shells
were di.charged from Springfield rifles
which were in tho hands of members of
Company B, one of the discharged com-
panies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry.
Secretary Taft's letter says the shells
were examined by Lieutenant Hawkins
and (». A. Spencer, expert inspector of
gauges used in the manufacture of mus-
kets at the Springfield arsenal.
The results were given by Secretary
Taft in part as follows:
Company B's Shells All Right.
That the marks on eleven of the shells
picked up at Brownsville correspond ex-
artly with the marks of the cartridges
discharged as experiments by them from
one of the guns of Company B.
That the marks on eleven of the shells
correspond exactly with the marks on
the cartridges discharged by them from
another of Company B's guns.
That the marks on eight more of the
shells correspcnd exactly with the marks
on the cartr>'dgcs discharged bv them
from a third gun of Company B.
That the marks on tho r. mainlng three
of the shells correspond with the marks
on the cartridges discharged bv a fourth
gun of Company P», bur that in this
fourlh case, probably du«» to the fact
that tho cartridge had failed of discharge
111 nother rifle, they bore double marks,
and so made the identification with the
fourth rifle shell less certain.
All From Same Company.
lieutenant Hawkins and Inspector
Spooner say that their examinations
proved beyond reasonable doubt that
three groups <»f shells—eleven, eleven and
eight—were discharged from three spe-
cifically numbered guns of Company B,
and that in all probability the fourth
group of three shells was discharged
from another gun of the same company.

AUSTIN, Tex., March 18.—A resolution
of condolence and sympathy with Repre-
sentatives Terrell of McLennan and Ter-
rell of Comanche over the death of their
sistor, Mrs. Aleta McClure of Alto was
adopted by a rising vote.
Mr. Terrell of McLennan introduced a
resolution asking the conference com-
mittee on the anti-free pass bill to pre-
sent its report. The resolution seemed
to reflect on tho committee and inimated
an undue hesitation on its part to make
the report.
Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Gafford were on
their feet immediately in defense of the
committee. They said the committee had
worked hard for the report and it was
ready for action by the House and would
be made this afternoon. Mr. Terrell
withdrew his resolution.
Pending business being the James
blanket primary bill, it was called up.
Mr. Wilmeth secured suspension of the
rules and got up this bjll proposing to
establish a West Texas normal school.
The bill only carries an appropriation
of $500 and provides that before any town
in that section where it is proposed to
locate the school can make a bid for the
location of the school, it shall donate the
ground and raise a bonus of $25,1)00 to
erect the buildings. It provides that the
school shall not be started until July 1,
1908.
Mr. Bell of Limestone moved to strike
out the enacting clause.
Representatives Cobbs and Robertson
of Travis supported the bill.
Mr. Robertson of Bell opposed the
measure.
The previous question was ordered, tho
motion to strike out the enacting clause
was lost, 69 to 32, and the bill was en-
grossed..
The House took up a bill by Mr. King,
being an act to validate all land grants
in Texas having their inception under tho
Spanish and Mexican land grants and it
was passed to engrossment.
Mr. McDonald's bill providing that spe-
cial veniremen summoned to attend court
living more than one mile distant from
the court house and who were not chosen
on the Jury, shall revive $i per day
while in attendance, on the call was
brought ui).
Mr. Davis of Brazos moved to amend
by making tho payment $2 per day.
Mr. McGregor offered an amendment
to the Davis amendment by providing
that the payment of per diem should not
be made to any veniremen summoned
who reside within the city limits of any
incorporated city where the court Is held.
Recess to 2 p. m.
Afternoon Session.
Mr. McGregor's amendment to the
amendment was adopted, as was also an
amendment by Mr. Henderson, provid-
ing that no special venireman shall re-
ceive pay for jury services and under
tho provisions of the bill on the same
time.
Pending the vote on the Davis amend-
ment as amended Speaker Love an-
nounced the following free conference
committee on the Meachum ball bond
bill: Messrs. Henderson, Jenkins, Ful-
ler, McDonald and Smith.
During the morning hours Speaker
Love signed the one board medical bill
and the special San Jacinto battle ground
purchasing bill.
Mr. Shelby spoke against the Davis
amendment, holding that this measure
would unduly burden the county jury
fund and that the smaller towns espe-
cially would not be able to stand this
extra tax.
Mr. Bowman and Mr. Mobley both op-
posed the bill on the same grounds.
Mr. Jennings then moved the previous
question on the amendment. It was
adopted by a vote of 58 to *14.
The bill was engrossed by a vote of 83
to 16.
The House took up a bill by Messrs.
Love of Dallas, Bell of Freestone and
McConnell to create a Bureau of Inspec-
tion and Supervision of County Offices,
and to establish a system of accounting.
The consideration of this bill created
considerable discussion.
Air. Bell of Freestone spoke In favor
of it, as did Speaker Love.
Mr. Love said that the bill simply pro-
vided a State supervisor system, the head
of which was tho Secretary of State,
such as is maintained by the Federal
Government In the running of the Post-
office Department and by the railroads
over their agents.
He said this was an innovation so far
as Texas was concerned, but several
States had tried this system with very
satisfactory results.
Brown Attacks the Bill.
Mr. Brown of Wharton moved to strike
out the enacting clause and made a fervid
speech against the bill, holding that it
was an unjust and unwarranted invasion
on the rights of local self-government.
Mr. Brown's motion was lost.
Mr. Brown then sought to amend by
having his county exempted from the
provisions of the bill and Mr. McKenzie
offered to amend Mr. Brown's amend-
ment so that it should also exempt the
counties of the Ninety-ninth Legislative
District.
Mr. McKenzie held that the county of-
ficials of his district were sufficiently
capable to do their work in the right
way without being subjected to such su-
pervision and that such legislation was
entirely unnecessary for his counties.
Mr. Mobley moved to table the Brown
amendment and the McKenzie amend-
ment to thp amendment.
Speaking to this motion Mr. Brown of
"Wharton said that in offering his
amendment he had done so in all good
faith and that he thought it. was an out-
rage for the State to come down there
and meddle in their family affairs.
The amendments were tabled, 60 to 40.
The bill failed of engrossment by a
vote of 57 to 49.
The House then took up the Kennedy
revenue fraud bill.
The provisions of the bill make a false
rendition, a false assessment or :i trans-
fer of money, stocks, bonds or property
tor the purpose of evading taxation a
fraud on public revenue, unishable by a
heavy penalty. ,, _ . _.
An amendment by Mr. Bell of Lime-
stone. providing that suit shall be
brought in the county in which such
fraud is practiced, was adopted.
The warmest part of the argument on
this measure came when the Speaker
ruled that an amendment by Mr. Robert-

Appeals from the Chair.
Mr. Robertson appealed from the rul-
ing of the Chair and discussed the ruling
at length.
He held that his amendment was ger-
mane in that it sought to prevent fraud
against the public! revenue in providing
a way for an equitable rendition and as-
sessment of all real property liens.
The ruling of the Chair was sustained.
Mr. Gafford submitted the conference

AUSTIN, Tex., March 18.—Senate Ju-
diciary Committee No. 2 this afternocn

on Senator Murray's bill creating the
cff.cc of Inspector of oil and petroleum
products. The bill provides that whers
a a/ incorporated city or town desires an
oil inspector the Council thereof shall

The bill prescribes the tests for oils,
etc , and the fees to be charged for in-
specting and testing same. The standard
fixed for illuminating oils in the state
is a flash test of l-to degrees fahrenheit
an 1 1150 degrees fire test or better. That

shah be labeled "standard oil." If con-
demned it shall be officially labeled "un-
fit for illuminating purposes." Penalties

rel for tests, etc., which shall be the
ratio for oil inspected in bulk and sold
in barrel, and 6 cents for small packages
of oil.
The detailed requirements and equip-
ment to be used in making the tests
are set out in the bill to the minutest
detail.
Senator Murray says his bill is pat-
terned after the Missouri statutes, ex-
cept a raise in the test to eorresoonc
with the difference in latitude. He say.*
oils now being sold in Texas are be'ow
the average, being 110 flash and 130 fire

Police Patrolman T. E. Wood brought
William Malesky before the Police Ser-
geant last night. At least the person was
entered upon the book by that name as it
was found in a Brass Workers' Union
book which he carried.
The man in question was found sleep-
ing in San Pedro Park with a loaf of
bread as a pillow. As he refused to give
any address tho policeman brought him
to headquarters. When the man faced
the Sergeant he refuse'd to speak, but
when questioned would answer with signs
and would show the book with the name
of William Malesky written in it. Tho
policeman had heard the man talk earlier
in the evening or else he would have been
taken for a deaf mute.
Before putting him down stairs he was
searched. I lis clothes appeared innocent
when glanced at but in the search which
required two men to complete working
forty minutes, the following articles, and
many others, were found, in their various
compartments: An old quart coffee pot.
a bar of soap, a shaving brush, a thimble,
spool of thread, buttons, half pint tin can,

Pure White Lead
Paint
"Graded" White Lead,
as the cheap, adulterated
article is sometimes called,
is an expensive purchase
at any price.
Pure White Lead costs
so little more per pound,
and lasts so much longer
on the building, that only
the pure could be sold if
the property owner was al-
ways fully informed on the
subject of paint materials.
To be sure of absolute
purity insist on having
Collier or Southern
Pure White Lead
(Made by tho Old Dutch Process)
Mixed with Pure Linseed
Oil, it is a perfect paint.

supply you, write us.
