i ir the r"l -week the governor
d close friends that any extra pas
sion that he might call before the end
of his administration would, be the
first called session of the Thirty
fourth legislature. The governor is
evidently of the opinion that the new
legislature comes into existence lmme
diatelv after the November elections.
s a special session has never been
i ailed during the period after the elec
tion and before the convening of the
resrul&r session in January, there is no
precedent which can be followed. The
constitution specifically states, how
ever, that members of the house shall
serve "from one election to the next."
Tr governor Colquitt should call to
gether the Thirty-fourth legislature in
extra session, the already strained re
lations between himself and governor
elect James E. Ferguson would proba
llv be stretched to the breaking point.
Tn Texas politics, the new legislature
is conceded to be a part of the new
administration, and not to be tampered
with by the retiring executive.
"When governor Colquitt insisted
upon dictating the members of the
rison commission, two of -whom will

office there was a strong feeling that
he was encroaching upon the territory
of the incoming governor Sir Fergu
son made every effort to defeat the
confirmation of at least one of the ap
pointees in the senate, but governor
Colquitt was upheld.
Notwithstanding the refusal of the
legislature to enact his cotton acreage
reduction measure, the governor has
gathered some good campaign material
from the third called session. During
the session, hundreds of letters and
telegrams were received by members
cf the legislature and by the governor
from farmers and business men urging
the passage of a bill which would ma
terially reduce the cotton acreage.
Tudging from the petitions received,
the sentiment was very strong for to
tal elimination of the cultivation of
cotton in 1915 If governor Colquitt

would hae been radically different.

GERMAN CRUISER SINKS 13
WIN FAMILY
TELLS DfMURDER
Wife Undergoes Ordeal of
Cross Examination; Phy
sician Gives Version.
Mineola. X Y Oct 22 Mrs. Flor
ence Carman, on trial charged with
the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey, un
derwent the ordeal of cross examina
tion smilingly today, and her testi
mony was in the main corroborated
by her husband and other members of
the Carman family. Jt.j
"Mrs. Carman, began the district
attorney, "you said jou were suspicious
of your husband. When did you get
suspicions'"
"About a year ago
What caused her suspicion, she would
not say A woman did not cause it
"Just rumors."
"Were the rumors about a woman'"
"No. Just some one asking him
about his girls. Somebody told me he
was a devil with the girls."
Others Jlore Attractive.
Some women. Mrs. Carman said, were
more attractive to her husband than
she was. she had thought and the be
lief angered her
Mr.-Smith asked if she thought Mrs.
Varance, the middle aged nurse whose
face she slapped, was more attractive
than she. Mrs. Carman smiled and an
swfiicd -4o.
She was made to describe the entire
scene with Mrs. Varance She said she
saw Dr Carman give the nurse $15 and
saw her kiss him afterward. It was
the passing of the money and not the
kiss that disturbed her, she said.
Didn't Object to Killing.
"Ton didn't object to another woman
kissing your husband in gratitude'"
"Oh. no." replied Mrs. Carman.
-Mswati to Jh ghtrwf the sos etteir."
said sir Smith, "did jou hear a shot"
No. T heard some commotion."
"What'" shouted the district attor
ney "Well. I don't know whether I heard
a shot or not I heard a noise."
"And your curiosity was aroused'"
"Surely It was an unusual sound."
Describes Her Movements.
She thought It had come from the
rear of the house and it took her
about a minute to get down stairs, she
said. As she reached the head of the
stairs, she saw two women going down
the hall, but she made no effort to find
out who they were. After she went
down stairs she walked Into the wait
ing room, and leaned against a mantel
piece for- a minute She did not see
any one down stairs and went directly
up stairs again alter having stood by
the mantel for about two minutes, per
haps. Mrs. Carman's cross examination
ended and her redirect examination
was then begun.
Daughter Testifies.
Mrs. Carman s 10 ear old daughter.
Elizabeth, was the next witness.
In a childish tremble she gave her
version of what had happened in the
Carman household the night of the mur
der. After dinner, she said, she had
gone out and played on the lawn.
"Mother went up stairs," she con
tinued. "My aunt and my grandmother
were on the porch Later I went Into
the parlor and started to practice on
the piano My mother told me to stop.
Then I went into the dining room,
walked through the hall and sat in a
chair in the dining room. Presently I
heard glass break and a shot I met
my aunt on the stairs. I went in my
mother's room
Found Mother There.
"My mother was there
"When I ran back into the hall I saw
my mother put on her' slippers and
kimoro and I foliewed her down stairs.
Then I went up again. She came up in
n m'nute. I went into her room with
her."
On cross examination, district attor
ney Smith asked only one question
"Elizabeth, vou are ver found of
your mother, aren't you"
"Yes," she replied
"That's all," said the prosecutor.
Mrs. Carman Weeps.
Just as Mrs. Sarah M. Conklin. mother
of Mrs Carman. 72 years old. took the
stand, the defendant burst into tears
She buned her face in her handk- h.ei.
shaking with sobs. Mra Conklin i tes
timony corroborated that gien by .rs.

he did not know at that time, sitting
in the waiting room.
"After I had talked to Mrs. Bailey,

The great haul of merchant ships by

The sinking of merchant vessels
without loss of life, it is remarked, in

capture of a group of transports would
be a disaster
