A Call 10 Oppose the Venue and Fee
Bills.

Waco. Tex, Feb. 1.-the following
letter has been sent out to all CONNER
cial clubs In the state:
AT the last meeting OF the Waco Com
merclal Club resolutions We're adopted
condemning the change of venue and
substitute fee bills and asking our
representatives and senator to strenu-
ously oppose their passage. 1t was
further the sense OF the club that 1t
should send committee to Austin to
work for the defeat OF these measures.
The club also decided to call the atten-
ton OF other commercial clubs TO these
bllIs and ask that they pass suitable
resolutions, provided they were in ac-
cord with this club as TO the bills, and
also that they send representatives to
Austin to aid the committee from the
Waco club in defeating the bills. As
these bills are to come up in the near
future. immediate action will have to
be taken by your club. Yours truly.

San Francisco, Feb. 19.-The second
night of the bicycle tournament proved
to be much worse than last night as
regards accidents. There was hardly
a heat but that some one was hurt.
Frank Fuller of the Olympia Club was
so badly injured in the fourth heat of
the half-mile, class A, handicap, that
he may die. The accident occurred on
the last lap and three men were
punched and riding furiously, when
Fuller lost control of his wheel and
collided with post. He struck head
first, breaking the post from it's fasten-
ings. His nose was broken and six
teeth knocked out. He also sustained
internal injuries. 1t is probable that
tonights accident will put stop to
the tournament. as all the men refuse to

signs of exhaustion, having refused
all entreaties of the whip and voice to
