SPECIAL WORK
IS LEGALIZED
Supreme Court Holds Legis
lative Bodies Can Meet
Between Sessions
Ey RAYMOND BROOKS
AUSTIN, March 8.—The power
of legislative committees to work
between sessions was established
by supreme court Thursday, for the
first time in the 82 years of Texas
statehood.
Members cannot draw pay for
such service, the court held.
The decision of supreme court
reversed Criminal District Judge
James R. Hamilton’s ruling on one
point and sustained it on three
points in the test suit of Rep. A.
H. King of Throckmorton, which
attacked legality of the tax survey
commission’s work after the ses
sion of the legislature two years
iieme court, in an opinion by
Justice T. B. Greenwood which
pointed to the profound constitu
tional importance of the question
involved, overruled Judge Hamil
ton's decision that the services of
members of the legislature on this
commission between sessions was
illegal. It uoheld his declaration
that the members could not draw
compensation for the service, and
upheld his rulings that expenses
could be paid, and that non-legis
lative members of the tax survey
commission could draw pay and
recover expenses for their work.
S<°n. A. E. Wood of the Austin
district was one of the members of
the tax survey commission affect
ed bv the ruling.
“The trial court erred.” supreme
court said in answering certified
questions of the Austin court of
civil appeals, “in holding that the
questions of the Austin court ol
civil appeals, “in holding that the
tax survey reolution was unconsti
tutional and void in directing pay
ment of expenses: but was correct
in holding it unconstitutional and
void as to compensation of legis
lators.
“Trial court was correct in hold
ing that the resolution was valid
as to non-members of the legisla
! ture who served on the commis
sion.”

FRIED FAVORS
OCEANFLIGHTS
Hero of Sea Rescues Be
lieves Huge Air Liners
Certainties
NEW YORK, March 9.—f/P)—A
hero of the seas has pinned his
faith to trans-oceanic flying.
Capt. George Fried, skipper of
the America and rescuer of the
Florida and the Antinoe shipwreck
victims, believes the next few years
will sec established services for
passenger and light freight.
Captain Fried calls it “overseas
flying” and believes that with the
rapid development of aircraft and
the radio a trip across the Atlantic
will embody few more dangers than
a similar trip by steamer.
“The multi-motored airplane ap
pears to be the practical method.
Dirigibles seem more difficult to
handle and more easily influenced
by the elements. I think four
motors would be the best equip
ment, with the ship able to carry
on witn two motors out of com
mission,” he says.
Landing stages are impractical
and unnecessary, believes the man
who has weathered some of the
worst storms of the North Atlantic.
“An ideal route would be along
the steamship lanes to the Azores,”
he says. “A plane hopping off
from New York cold make the long
jump to the Azores, re-fnel there
and carrv on to Paris without any
great difficulty. I scarcely believe
a landing stage would stand up In
mid-ocean, and T doubt that a phot
could pick up so tiny a spot in the
ocean’s expanse.
Captain Fried puts his trust In
radio beacons as aids to naviga
i tion for steamship and aimlane.
; With beacons, he says, it would be
i possible for a pilot to k*?p his
course even in the thickest fog.
“A beacon on the Azores.” he
says, “would be sufficient guide far
a pilot. He reed only set b?s noso
in the direction from which the
\ beacon sounds loudest. Eventually
and barring mechanical troubles he
l would pick up the islands. Bea
cons from o^her noints could be
used to fix his position and enabh
him to calculate his speed at all
tiroes.
“Even when it is perfected T do
not look for overseas flvincr to in
terfere s^iouslv with shinpine. Air
I lines will provide an exmess

i to Paris—hut there m-st pi wavs

No Revolution
In Tamaulipas,
Officials State
No revolutionists tire operating in
Tamaulipas. was the statement Sat
urday by Matamoros military of
ficials, who asserted that armed
bands reported in the central part
of the state were agrarian volunteers
who are supporting the government.
Reports were received Thursday
and Friday that numerous small
bands had been seen, evidently mov
ing toward some mobilization point.
Military officials stated that as soon
as the revolt in Vera Cruz and So
nora penetrated the interior hun
dreds of agrarians had volunteered
their services to suppress the up
rising.
Word was received in Matamoros
Saturday morning that General
Calles was at the head of 18.000
troops moving northwest from the
capital, and that over 10.000 troops
had been assembled at Monterrey.
This served to enhance the general
feeling of security, and Matamoros
Saturday had Resumed its wonted
calm.
No disorders of any kind have oc
cured in any part of the state, mili
tary officials stated adding that there
was practically no revolutionary
sentiment manifest anywhere in the
southern republic outside of Vera
Cruz and some of the western states.

POLITICS TO II
JOIN FRIENDS
Mrs. V/ilbur and Mrs. Hoov
er Were Coeds Together
At Leland Stanford
WASHINGTON, March 9.—<£>)—
Mrs. Ray Lyman Wilbur, wife of
the new secretary of the interior,
probably will be Mrs. Herbert Hoo
ver’s closest friend in the capital.
Their association began when
they were co-eds together in Leland
Stanford University. And Mrs.
Wilbur feels her chief joy in com
ing to Washington is the renewal
of this friendship of many years’ l
standing.
A misfortune of Mrs. Wilbur’s,
however, will bring them closer to
gether than they would be other
wise in the swirl of official social
life. Ill health, which she has suf- j
fered since she fell from a horse
and broke twro vertebrae of her neck
seven years ago, probably will keep
Mrs. Wilbur from most of her so
cial duties.
Because of these circumstances,
Mrs. Wilbur said today, she looks
on the four year period with zest.
She will remain, at least for a time,
in the hotel suite to which she i
came last week-end. And she will
attempt to participate in some of
the official ceremonies, although it
will be impossible for her to be as i
active as will be most of the other
cabinet ladies.
Mrs Wilbur was Miss Marguerite
May Blake. One of her three sons
is a physician of the Mayo clinic
at Rochester, Minn. Another re
cently began the practice of surgery !
in their home state, California: and
the third and youngest is studying
to enter the profession. The older
daughter of the Wilburs is the wife
of a yong orthopaedic surgeon.
