HOUSE BY VOTE OF 16 TO 14.
Austin, Tex., March 13.—By a vote
of 16 to 14, the Senate shortly after
noon, adopted the majority report of
the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions, recommending that Archi Parr
of Duval county continue in office as
the Senator from the Twenty-third
District, which comprises sixteen
counties in the lower Rio Grande Val-
ley.
Col. R. M. Johnston of Houston,
Senator from the Sixteenth Senatorial
District comprising Harris, Fort Bend
and Waller counties, was the deciding
factor in the contest and announced
just before the vote was taken that he
favored continuing Parr in office. Up
to that time the known sentiment was
15 to 14 in favor of Parr, as against
declaring no election, every Senator
having gone on record, either by
speech or vote, in the executive ses-
sion Monday night.
