LIQUOR ISSUE
UP AGAIN IN
. LEGISLATURE
AUSTIN, April I. <**—'The trou
blesome prohibition issue forged to
Ihe front again Tuesday with a re
solution proposing submission of
repeal set as the special order of
business in the house.
Little opposition had been mani
fested to submission of repeal to
a vote of the people next August
24. The controversy was on the
question of what safeguards, if any,
should be placed in the construction
in event the people remove prohibi
tion.
Many of the ardent wets were
against any restrictions other than
provision for local option and pro
tection of dry territory. They con
tended that regulation of the liquor
traffic should be by statute rather
than constitutional amendment.
Want State Monopoly
Other legislators were prepared to
make a determined fight in sup
port of their position that the con
stitutional amendments should pro
vide for a mandatory state mono
poly In the sale of hard liquors,
with no private profit permitted.
The senate favored submission of
a proposal which would prohibit
sale of hard liquor by the drink or
its consumption cn premises where
sold. These restrictions, however,
were eliminated by house com
mittee.
Proposed state aid for the Texas
Centennial celebration next year
was pending business in the sen
ate for the fourth consecutive day.
But indications were that final ac
tion by that body was not far away.
Senators were considering a sub
stitute which would provide for ap
pointment of a new commission to
determine how funds other than
those appropriated for the central
exposition at Dallas would be al
located.
The senate moved towards ac
ceptance of the recommendation of
the house that the legislature end
its regular session five weeks from
today. Eleven members of the sen
ate state affairs committee advised
approval of the May 7 adjourn
ment resolution, and there was a
strong possibility it would come up
for final action Tuesday.
In the first night meeting of the
session, the senate cleared Its long
calendar of a large number of
bills to which there was little or
no opposition.
Among them were:
To make certain that the statutes
prohibit dog race betting.
To prohibit livestock from run
ning at large in fenced state high
way rights-of-way.
To establish a negro tuberculosis
sanatorium, to be located by the
board of control.
Longer School Term
To extend the compulsory school
term from five to six months.
To modernize the system of tak
ing the scholastic census.
To create the Sabine-Neches con
servation district to handle federal
funds which may be allotted for
conservation reclamation and pre
vention of soil erosion.
To create a temporary district
court for Montgomery, Polk and
8an Jacinto counties and another
for Anderson. Henderson and
Houston counties.
A bill to levy a graduated state
income tax ranging from one to
seven per cent was reported favor
ably. 6 to 4. by the house revenue
and taxation committee. However,
due to the opposition to the bill
and the lateness in the session,
there was little likelihood it would
be approved by both houses.
Another bill recommended by the
same committee would tax drug
store whisky ten cents a pint and
levy annual license taxes of $1,000
on wholesalers and $100 on re
tailers.

JACK CONNELL ILL
SAN BENITO—Jack Connell is
ill at Mercy hospital, Brownsville.
Could Meador, saying Tuesday “I
wouldn’t want to say anything to
hurt her feelings.”
"I'm still very fond of my wife,”
he said in explaining his reticence.
He could see no chance for a recon
ciliation.
Meador, who revealed Monday that
they had been separated for more
ihan & month,'' said divorce proceed
ings would not be started immediate
ly.
The Texan said he and his wife,
heiress to the Could railroad fortune,
were •'waning to see who made the
next move.”
Meador said he had no idea his
wife would iail to return when she
went east to attend the funeral 01
her father about a month ago. In
stead of coming back to San Antonio,
she went to lorida.
Meador minimized his refusal to
accompany his wife to her tamers
funeral as a factor in the separation.
He said his business didn’t allow him
to make trips on the spur of the mo
ment.
"My wife is very decided in her
relusal to return and I’ll certainly
not leave my business connections
here.' he said. Meador explained he
was getting established in the bank
and liked his work too well to leave.
He would not confirm the rumor
the breach was brought about by his
refusal to accede to his wile's wishes
and leave the bank in which he is
an employe.
Asked if the simplicity of the life
Mrs. Meador led as his wife brought
about dissatisfaction and eventual
separation. the likeable, slightly
built Texan said:
“It may have been an indirect
cause, but that was not the primary
reason.”
"She couldn’t have stood her life
here as a steady diet. She was used
to traveling and entertaining more
than I could possibly find time for.
and hold my position." the husband
explained.
Meador stressed the fact he did
not meet his wife in a theater or
solely because of his theatrical work,
which he said had been played down
to make the elopement all the more
romantic and to emphasize the dif
ference in social positions.
"We met at a social function and
were Introduced by mutual friends,"
he said.
He said he had been painted as
a fortune hunter, and the fact he
was from a reputable, well-establish
ed Texas family was disregarded "in
order to heighten interest in the
marriage.”
"My wife certainly will not return
and I'm not leaving San Antonio, so
I see no way in which the situation
can possibly be patched up." he con
cluded.
The Meadors established their
residence here at Christmas time aft
er a surprise wedding that Jolted
New York society. They lived simply
in a modest home as Meador worked
in a local bank.
