Houston, Tex., Aug. 14.—The Texas
legislature, now in special session to
discuss state financial matters, ac

According to the laws of Texas the
legislature, when called in special ses
sion, may take up only matters men
tioned in the official call. This legis
lature, however, happens to possess a
"dry" majority and as the prohibition
ists were defeated in the fecent elec
tion they have taken upon themselves
the task of trying to find the reason
the election went against them. The
prohibitionists declare frauds were
perpetrated and are taking advantage
