CENTENNIAL
FUl GIVEN
HOUSE OKED
AUSTIN, March 15. —|AV- The
question of submitting prohibition
repeal was the next Important busi
ness facing the house of represen
tatives Friday after it had approv.
% a $3,000,000 appropriation for the
Texas centennial.
When consideration of submission
was stopped temporarily a few days
ago, the house was debating a com
promise suggestion of Representa
tive Alfred Petsch of Fredericks
burg. and the senate had approved
submission next August 24 at a spe
cial election.
Under Pet6Cv’« resolution, the
question of repealing the present
bone-dry constitutional amendment
would be submitted and a system of
state sales of hard liquor would be
substituted. The senate resolution
submitting repeal merely author
ised the legislature to set up a state
monopoly over hard lijuor.
The house passed the centennial
appropriation bill Thursday. 102 to
32. the heavy majority making it
effective Immediately if it received
21 votes in the senate, where spon
sors said it would be brought up
soon.
The long-pending subject of a
planning board to correlate state
and federal relief programs, advo
cated by Governor James V. Allred,
was finally cleared as both house
and senate adopted a conference
report adjusting differences.
The house also passed a bill ap
propriating $227,538 for summer
school* and state colleges, but be
cause the senate had approved an
appropriation of $380,000 a confer
ence committee was in order.
Despite charges that the issue
was being avoided, a senate com
mittee reported favorably. 9 to 4. a
bill by Senator Frank Rawlings of
Fort Worth prescribing county local
option elections as a pre-requisite
to holding horse racing meets at
which wagering was permitted.
Rawlings’ resolution was a substi
tute for one by Senator Joe Hill of
Henderson to repeal the law legal
izing wagering on horse races. On
the substitution, the committee
vote was 7 to 6.
A similar local option bill by Re
presentative Traylor Russell and a
bill by Representative Ferry Graves
of Georgetown providing outright
repeal have been reoorted favorably
by a house committee
The house appropriations com
mittee voted. 11 to 5. to grant the
request of heads of the state's high
er educational institutions and re
commend lump appropriations for
those schools for the next bien
nium. The appropriations have
been itemized for many years.
The committee also voted. 12 to 1.
to recommend an appropriation of
$20 per student to municipal ju
nior colleges. These colleges here
tofore have received no state aid.
Exemption of Christian Science
practitioners from the Medical
Practice Act, opposed by the State
Medical Association, was rejected by
the senate health committee as it
killed. 5 to 1. a bill by Senator
CUud Westerfeld of Dallas.
Christian Science practitioners
contended the prohibition against
fh.*rging for services denied them
gratis of a livelihood, as the church
restricted their business endeavors,
and that strict obedience to the
law would fo’-c- *•” «f their church
es in Texas to elose.
Dr. Holman Ta of Fort Worth
•aid medical doctor* would agree to
removal of the entire sub-section of
the act referring to churches, which
he contended would permit Christ
ian Scientists to operate In their
proper sphere*
* We cant agree to eliminating
the no-pay feature.** he said. tor
with that removed, “they would
have the right to practice medi
cine.’’
■. J-KOBtRJ l€€ STAT6N
March 15, 1835—The day was the
thirteenth anniversary of the ar
rival In San Antonio of Stephen F
Austin and a party, which includ
ed his brother, James Brown Aus
tin. and Josiah H Bell, to report to
the Spanish governor. Mart Inez, on
the progress of colonization. During
most of the earlier part of the year
1822. Austin had been wanterinv
up and down the coast In the
neighborhood of the mouth of the
Colorado river, where, by arrange
ment, The Lively, which had left
New Orleans in November with col
onists, was to land. Owing to mea
Ser knowledge of the Texas coast -
ne. the captain of The Lively had
put In at the mouth of the Brazos
river under the impression it wa1
that of th ■* Colorado. There tb*
colonist passengers disembarked
eome to remain and settle ar
others to shortly return to thei
homes due to the confusion arisi”
from the mistake and their con
sequent failure to meet Austin. Th
Lively, as you know, was never
heard of again. You will recall that
Austin came to Texas overland bv
way of Natchitoches and camped
at a place which hla followers call
ad New Year Creek located where
the La Bahia road crossed the Bra
*06 river (near present Washing
ton). Those who settled there and
in the locality were Andrew Robin
acp. Abner. Joseph and Robert Kuv
'ill. Daniel Gilleland. Thomas
W|»t right and Josiah H. Bell The
Lively’s passengers were W. 8. Lew
is. James Beard. Edward Lovelace
ttephen ffolston. Young Phelps and
me following whose surnames onlv
Ue now available—Messrs. Harrison.
Dannon. Butler (an engineer). Bed
dinger, Wilson. Williams. Matlgan
Thompson (a carpenter). Willis and
O’Neal, and three others whose
names are not known. Mexico, as
you know, had Just gained Its inde
pendence from Spain when Austin
first visited San Antonio in 1821.
Governor Martinez was doubtful on
his second visit whether the new
government would approve ms acts
of 1821 concerning Austin’s colony.
That uncertainty made It necessary
that Austin go to Mexico City to
procure recognition of his rights;
and you know of hi* presence In the
capital city during the reign of
ttartade. the emperor. j
