would sIrh a minority report on tho Ilous
ton charter bill la rn e the committee
iirroe1 to report It fnVnmtoly He sild t at
l > e did net know whether he would or not
What ho fa orcd however was the Idea
to submit It to u vot > ot the people He
was aeked by The Post corre pondent It
such an election would not be very ex
pensive to the city He admitted that It
would but sold If the administration was
to confident of wlnuing they would not ob
ject to It
The fact was pointed out to hitn that the
oil mills ami other manufacturing plants
In Ohnucyvllle and tin water works com
pany would Unlit the measure In a charter
ejection and spend money in order to keop
from pajina a city Us Juat the same as
thoy nw been ughtluff It befire the seints
committee
There were no new developments In the
Houston charter situation today and City
Attorney Stone and Seuajor Lipscomb left
for thilr itsnectlve homes tuiugiit

policy of the Federal authorities thnt the
Federal quarantine Hue can cioss n Statu
only by tho sanation of that State and
