The Check.Rein.

Mr.. Fleming, army veterinary in
spector, gives the following dozen rea-
sons against the bearing-rein:
It is an unnecessary expense to purchse
it.
It adds to the weight of the harness
and the time required to clean it.
It wearies the head and neck of the
horse by the constrained, unnatural
position in which they are fixed.
It spoils the appearance of the horse,
and largly detracts from his free and
graceful movements.
The long-continued pressure on the
lower jaw tends to give the animal q
hard mouth, and therefore renders it less
obedient to the drivers rein.
It does not prevent stumbling, but, on
the contrary, predisposes the horse to
fall, and with much more severity than
if it were not used.
In hot weather or during extreme
exertion it may directly or indirectly
produce an attack of giddiness or apop-
lexy-the last probably terminating in
death.
In heavy draught, in addition to the
torture it occasions, it causes large
portion of the horses power to Oe lost,
from the animal being unable to get his
head and neck down, and thus to throw
more of the weight Of bis body into his
collar.
The powerful muscles which pull
forward the shoulders and indirectly the
fore limbs, and which are attacned to
the head and neck, are by it placed in
the least favorable position for exercising
their function, so that the horses actions
as well as its speed and strength are i'm
paired from this mechanical disadyan-
tage.
It causes pain and distressin breathing.
It tends to distort the upper part OF
the wind-pipe, and causes ''roaring.
It frets the temper of nervous and e1-
citable horses, and shorten the lives of all.

The Aransas Pass scheme Favored BY
Test Vote on Permanent Chairman.
DENVER, Col, Aug. 30.-The Deepwatcr
convention was called to order by ex-GOT-
ernor Evans yesterday, when Judge Brady,
of Texas, presented the report of the cOIa-
mittee on permanent organization as f,l-
lows: Permanent chairman, Hon. p. D.
Noel, OF Kansas; vice-presidents, Cover
nor Adams, of Colorado; John Hanco *.
of Texas; d. H. Armstrong, OF Nilsson ri;
J. l.. Hill, of Kansas; 4. D. Yocum OF
Nebraska; W. A. Cup, of Iowa; T. F.
Powell, of Arkansas; j. Reynolds, of New
Mexico; F. D. Kelly, of Wyoming, and
Lewis Wolley, of Arizona; secretary, +.
A. Dana. This report was somewhat un-
expected as Tuesdays various caucuses
had agreed to support Governor Thayer.
of Nebraska, for permanent chairman, and
the announcement of Noel's name for
few minutes threw the convention into
confusion.
Ex-Lieutenaut-G Governor Gibbs, of Tex
as, was soon on his feet and gave as a sub
stitute for the report of the committee that
the convention provide its own chairman
and then nominated Governor Thayer to
that position. This brought the battle be-
tween Galveston and Arkansas Pass square,
ly to the front, and for over two hours tho
substitute was warmly debated between
the friends of these two cities, it being un-
derstood that Governor Thayer was favor
ing Arapsas Pass, while Mr.. Noel was for
Galveston. Gibbs substitute was finally
carried, the roll cal! resulting -Thayer,
21T; Noel, 1913. The announcement of the
vote created pandemonium which lasted
several minutes.
On reassenbling in the afternoon Gov
ernOr Thayer took the chair and was pre-
sented with a handsome silver mounted
gayel by Senator Houston. of Texas, on
behalf of the president of the San Antonio
& Arkansas Pass railway. After brief
address from him the convention made the
election of the remainder of the officers
reported by the committee unanimous.
The convention then appointed a commit
tee on resolutions and adjourned.

people and cries OF distress went up from

forth to render assistance.
The food on Central avenue, the prin-

GOT INTO DEEP WATER.

The Denver Convention Gets into
wranSIe, but the Disturbed Waters are
Finally CaImed-The Majority Report
Adopted.
denver, Col, Aug. 31.-The committee
on resolutions of the Deepwater conven-
tioH was in session until 10:30 O'Clock yes
terdsy. when Governor Thayer called the
convention to order. After some routine
work q resolution was adopted that after
the final adjournment OF this convention 1t
may be called together by a majority OF
the vioe- presidents giving thirty days no.
tice, and that when the convention next
meets 10 shall be at Topeka, Kan. The
committee on resolutions being called for,
Judge Hancock, OF Texas, read the major
itv report which demanded the establish
ment Of one deep water hsrbor on the
northwest coast of the Gulf of Mexico;
that all the Senators and Representatives
and delegates to Congress be requested to
procure the necessary appropriations to
complete the work; and that committees
from each State and Territory be appoint
ed to visit Washington and assist in secur-
ing the passage OF the necessary laws, and
requesting the President to recommend
this in the next message to Congress.
Senator Houston, of Texas, presented the
minority report, which in substance urged
Congress to appoint q board of engineers
TO locate harbor at the most suitable
point and the adoption of all necessary
means 10 secure appropriations and COM
plete the work. The report indorsed the
efforts of the private enterprise to secure
deep water on the Texas coast and
pledged its influence to induce the Gov
ernment to reimburse the persons engaged
in the enterprise. 1t further approved
the idea OF securing deep water at Aran-
sas Pass by private capital, and asked
Congress for protection in the prosecution
of the work, and to reimburse the citizens
engaged in it.
Ex-Governor Gibbs, of Texas, intro
duced resolution, which he moved should
be adopted as q substitute for both. After
q short preamble it urges upon Congress
the necessity of deep water harbors, one
on the east and one on the west coast OK
the Gulf, and asks Congress to locate botA
and make the necessary appropriations FOR
their speedy completion.
All were earnestly supported by the gen.
tlemen introducing them. The merits of
each grew so warm that it ran into per-
sonaities and for few minutes it seemed
Us though the convention would break up
in . row. Governor Thayer finally Sc
cured order and the. convention took re-
cess until six O'Clock.
