..Yi Violent objection was voiced by mem-
iv?:.pers of the mosquito fleet and it was
mt tha university time in which to con-
foct some infernal device or scheme that
sninlri result in the destruction of the
r belligerents and their whole force.

i Mr. Satterwhite explained that the
third called session of the thirty -sixth
V legislature had appropriated $424000 for
the university. 1144.000 of which had
. been used to raise salaries and $63000
; ' kad been used to hire additional profee-

Jh men who manned the flotilla arrayed
- against the university.
. t Then the QW.-tion came dwn to a
matter of settling the SdsI fate of the
- ' m of the university and of whether or
pot the ship should be scuttled and polit-
' eal souvenirs consisting of bits of the
planking and su (erstructur of the ap-
v parenfly doomed ship be distributed

Oae Mara Plea Made.
i Bepresentative X. B. Williams of Mc-
fuennan took up the burden of making
Hmm more plea for the lives of the crew
. Of the university ar.d for the sparing of
. (he university itself. Ieclaring that as
fe. result of the scientific activities alone
M the highly trained professors of that
V Institution the university had brought to
' yjght and mad- available geological data
i that kad brought at least $10000000 into
..Texas in recent year and had thereby
brought into Texas mora money than the
aniversity had ever asked the State to
i Ifive that institution.
f Johnson of Kllis in an impassioned
' apaech told the members tbat it was not
i tfW kind of structures that made a uni-
. veraity of the first class but the kind and
' character of the instruction that was ob-
' taiaable at the university. Good men cost
; taoMj and the Ellis county man read a
list of names of professors and instrue-
't on who had beer taken from the univer-
sity by other institntions. some large and
.naay smaller than Texa I'nirersity be
'tanoe these other institutions were will
ing to pay better salaries and in that way
Texas University was in danger of being
finable to compete with other institutions
tor the highest trained instructor! and
professors.
Coatritiea Predicted.
Jkneerting that the day woold surely
a when the men who now for political
as were seeking to cripple the uni-
wouid be sorry for their deeds be
id that he would be able to say to
the people of Texas that he for one had
lys seen for toe university and Its
are. Speaking to tue charges that

I a rich man's institution. Kepresenta-
Johnson said that no intelligent man

It was a poor boy's institution and
that If they destroyed the university tha
Hefc man oould send nia son elsewbere
Cot an education while the poor man and
poor man a son would be deprived of
tha opportunities which tha university
r afforded.
la the final battle of votes the snb-
ate offered by Represents tire Satter-
lt was defeated 4 to 61. I hp qu-s-
then narrowed down to the adoption
1 the Bonham amendment providing for
ifwductioo of salaries to the point where
nay were when the third called session
it tke Thirty-aixth legislature appropri-
ated $424000 to raise salaries. The
lemdmenl waa adopted by a vote of Nrf

predictions regarding; the Irish situation
have taken many peculiar turns as a re-
sult of developments featuring the nego-
tiations durin; the past 24 hours.
Of theie developments perhaps tke
most talked of is a speech made in the
house of lords Wednesday by Lord Birk-
enhead lord high chancellor In which he
invited parliament and the country to
have patience with the trouble Kamonn de
Valera. Irish republican leader ami his
colleagues may be having in Dublin to
reach a decision on the Hritish proposals.
He also intimated that the negotiations
may contir.ue for several weeks.
thher outstanding features ot toe day
were prolonged discussions of the pro-
posals by the Irish republican cabinet; a
communication Premier Uoyd George is
reported to have received from Mr. lJe
Valera. and the postponement by General
J. V. Smuts of his departure for South
Africa until August 5. The communica-
tion from lie Valera is reported to have
asked for further action of General
Snints. in remaining; here la taken to
mean that he feels his services as media-
tor may again be nee-ded.

Harding Defers Question
Of Peace Proclamation
Associated Press Report.
WASHINGTON July 28. President
Harding will not take up the question of a
peace proclamation until his return from
his New England trip. Attorney General
l'augberty said Thursday.
and its purpose it that It was intended to
and should serve and encourage the very
best It could the Industrial life of the
city; that the belt railway was secondary
to the interest ef the city and the In-
terest of tbe Industries. Apparently It is
held by those directly in charge of it
operation as of primary interest to itself
and the city and its industries aa of
secondary In porta nee. No other reason
to my mind can be a plausible one in
view of language used and the basis of
the protest lodged agaibst the city assist-
ing and co-operating with the locating of
the steel plaut on the channel.
Coeacil Ca-eieratod. 1
"The Chamber of Commerce myself
and tbe men interested with me in this
matter have had tbe most splendid co-
operation from the mayor and city coun-
cil as evidenced by the resoluUonrpassed
by them bearing on the matter. Promi-
nent bankers and business men of Hous-
ton have also given us their support not
ouly morally but financially and every
representative Houstonian has personal-
ly congratulated me. the Chamber of
Cotnmrrc and himself upon the securing
of this industry for the city. Oue mem-
ber of the harbor board no less than its
president has stated over bis signature
in a letter to the mayor his entire ap-
proval of the project and the method sug-
gested by the Chamber of Commerce ftud
financed by the bankers of the city for
the construction of the bridge and spur
to the site of the steel plant.
"Yet in spite of all thia splendid sup-
port one member of the harbor board
said when the Chamber of Commerce
presented the matter that he 'believed
the proposition ahould have been present-
ed direct to the harbor board and not to
the Chamber of C-ommerce.' May I ask
what the Chamber of Commerce is for
and why It ia sustained by the business
men of Houston if not for the purpose
of attracting new industries to this city
among its other functions?
"I have done my best will continue to
do my best for the interest and unbuild
ing of the city but it is discoursging to
have to work against such shortsighted
policy and under such handicaps. If the
interest of the belt railway is paramount
to the interest of the industries on the
ship channel and the city of Houston
there will be little encouragement for in-
dustries to seek to locate in Houston and
for Houston's business organisations to
ask them to come."
Mayor Holcombe. when asked Thurs-
day regarding the collapse of the project
of the steel plant coming to Houston said.
"I do not feel that 1 am in a position to
make a complete statment regarding the
matter as yet. However. I sincerely and
deeply regret the decision of the com-
pany not to come to Houston and the
reasons assigned for calling off negotia-
tions. The municipal railway's prime
reason for existence ia to serve the in-
dustries on the channel it has no other.
Of course the city does not want to see
it operated at a loss but I do not be-
lieve that in this instance it would have
operated at a loss. The loss of this in-
dustry is a very regretable occurrence.
That is all I can say for the present"
Colonel Thomas II. Ball president of
the harbor board could not be seen
Thursday afternoon being out of the city.
Colonel Ball however in a letter to the
mayor and council regarding the con-
struction of tbe spur and bridge express-
ed himself in favor of the plan submitted
by the Chamber of Commerce for the fi-
nancing of the project and the repaying
by tbe city of one half of the cost through
switching charges over the spur and
bridge. In bia letter to the mayor and
council. Colonel Ball said:
Believes Preaosltioi Good.
"In view of the fact tbat this indus-
try will expend more than $100000 with-
in the city limits on permanent improve-
ments exclusive of the cost of lands all
subject to city taxation as chairman of
the harbor board I was personally will-
ing to recommend to your konorable body
that the municipal bei railway be extend-
ed as desired by tbe industry under an
arrangement with it b? the city that said
industry ahould furnish the entire cost
thereof one half the cost of construction
to be borne by the municipal belt railway
and repaid by refunding to the industry
$1 per ear or the net revenues received
from tonnage furnished said belt railway
by tbe industry tbe belt railway to own
the improvements so constructed to the
property line of tke industry and main-
tain same in whole or ha part and that
said refund should continue until oue
hah of tke cost ef construction waa
paid.
"I believed then and believe now that
taxes paid to the city woold more than
take rare of tbe refund thus given and
the maintenance of the track and locate
an Industry giving employment to a large
body of men. My views however did not
prevail"
