Fears Defeat for Many Pro
posed Pet Measures at the
Special Session.
INSURANCE REPEAL
LAW NOT A VICTORY
(Horace H. Shelton.)
San Antonio. Tex., Aug. 1. The spec
ial session of the legislature has now
been in progress 10 days. Little has
been accomplished and governor
Campbell has not yet shown his hand
If he has anv intentions of trying ta
strike a death blow to the liquor traf
fic in Texas.
The nomination of Colquitt for gov
ernor is now conceded, but beyond the
demand for an investigation of the
charges that money was used to de
feat submission at the last session
of the legislature and to probe into
the recent campaign expenses of the
governor, there has been nothing sub
mitted by the governor or done by
the legislature that could be construed
as in any way an attack on Colquitt.
It is possible that the governor is
waiting until some of his pet hobbies
have been gotten out of the way be
fore he takes any action that will
precipitate a fight.
The real reason, however, seems tJ
be that the governor realizes that the
recent election was a repudiation of
his administration and that he cannot
hope to line up the legislature in favor
of his policies.
All Favorite Defeated.
Every man the govereor was known
to favor was defeated. Dashiell was
o erwhelminjgly defeated for railroad
rommissloner. McCord, the governor's
appointee for associate justice of the
court of criminal appeals, suffered a.
like fate. Colquitt, who denounced the I
go ernor and his policies from every
stump in the state, was elected by a
verv large plurality.
The facts are having their effect
on the members of the legislature. Two
5 ears ago when Williams ran against
Campbell the citizens f Texas regis
tered a violent protest against the
governor. This was repeated even !
more emphatically this year. Legis- '

pbell policies. The governor,
of good judgment, yearns to
uY. . !

realize this
There was some taTk of the gov
ernor submitting the 2 cent fare bill,
but on good authority t is learned
that it will not be done. Realizing
the bill would meet an inglorious de
feat the governor will save his face
by not bringing up the matter.
Submission Disposition Planned.
A resolution favoring a constitu
tional convention may be passed, not
because governor Campbell wants it,
hut because Colquitt and the anti-pro-hibitionists
think that is the easiest
matter of disposing of the trouble
some question of submission, which
was endorsed at the primaries.

THOROUGHLY MODERN
A3most everyone in El Paso has seen
the new home of the Toltec club as It
stands newly completed at the junction
of San Antonio street and Magoffin
avenue- Back of the equine drinking
fountain and the plot of grass, Toltec
place, rises a mountain of structural
beauty, familiar to every resident of the
city.
But Saturday was the first opportuni
ty for the many to see what was con
tained in the building, the perfection of
decorators art therein. All during' the
afternoon and night, club members and
their friends were entertained at an'
informal opening.
It had been planned to hold the open
ing at a later date, but such was the
demand of the club's friends that Sat
urday the doors were opened that they
might seee the interior. The formal
opening wilil be' held later
Quite informal was the affair of Sat
urday night. It was merely an hour
of congratulation at the perfection of
the uew club home. Refreshments were
served to the women visitors, and a
hop was held in the ball room, the most
beautiful part of the building. Those
who inspected the building saw:

Looking over the edge of the stairs
from the roof house, one gazes through
dizzy space, a maze of brown wood
work, and at last upon the tiled floor
of the street entrance. Through the
entire building a brown color scheme

Is Started.
Austin. Texas. Aug. 1. By a vote of
22 to 7 the senate refused to confirm the
name of AV. E. Hawkins, commissioner
of insurance and banking today, there
by carrying, out the wishes of governor
Camp.bell. This was done in executive
session.
"When Hawkins was informed of the
result, he aid: "I have nothing to say
just now," then turning to the telephone
he ailed up his wife and said: "Don't
worry; 1 w&fMie home in a- sUor.t? while."
The session lasted from 10:30 o'clock
to noon. Senter of Dallas, a strong
friend of Hawkins, was not present
when the vote was taken. A majority
of the senators were at one time in fa
vor of Hawkins, but this changed, most
going over to the other -ide.
The slush fund probe resolution will
be considered by the committee on priv
ileges and elections at 3 o'clock this af
ternoon, and from a reliable source it
is learned, the document will be badly
masticated if not eaten alive in commit
tee. Tt is asserted the resolution will
be favorably reported. If there be a
change in the committees' attitude it is
positive if the assertion he made it will
be voted down in the senate.
The committee today recommended
the seating of Ratcliff, who succeeds
Baseom Thomas.

The little procession had scarcely
reached the foot of the gang plank

only after the police had charged them
that they were able to make passage to
