II Two Changes Are Made in Dnm-
ngc Suit Laws He WIN IDVcHt.

Austin. Tex, March l2,-Colonel Tom
, Ochiltree Is on the explosive order OF
lobbyists. When he has something to
say he blurts 1t out from the shoulder
and eschews insinuatiOn.
What concessions does Mr.. Mackay
seek for his Postal telegraph system In
Texas. colonel2"
"The two points yet undecided by the
committee are the mental anguish,
clause and the limit of time within
which AN action for damage may be
brought--siNty days instead OF ninety
DO you think there Is a lighting
cnancc for the bill2'
Not only lighting chance. but l
think the committee Will finally rec
Ommend the two concessions the COM
pany seeks. That mental anguish
clause Is bosh. IL is Texas product
that, | believe. Texas is going to nbOl-
lsh like the Jimpson weed. The federal
courts have spit On it. and, as far as /
Know, this. my native state, is the only
state that harbors It. II is the prize
plum coveted only by the bunco litl-
giant on the one hand and the shyster
lawyer on the other. ! am especially
glad that a number of leading members
OF the bar will have to pass judgment
on this rObblng nbsurdity FiNiug a
financial price ON the anguish sustain
ed! Its all rot II honest damages are
sustained through the fault Of the COM
phny why, hang II, sue them ana re-
cover, But give capital that comes
to Texas for Investment a fair deal.
Don't subject It TO the plurder OF every
adventurer and legal robber who has
stock of mental anguish to draw on
and balance up with hard cash.
at seems TO me 1t should be borne
in mind exactly the character Of the
Investment Mir, Mnekay Is making. He
has fought the Western Union long
enough for the people to realize that
this enterprise Is not theirs and not a
plan TO sell out TO them as soon as he
gains the concessions he seeks at the
hands of Texas, 1t seems to me 1t
ought to be considered that II Is an
Investment Of vast capital on long flu
lures. Think Of the miles and miles OF
wire that win have to be stretched
and operated for years before a cent on
the Investment Is realized. 1t Is only
in certain sections of the state that the
company will make any money at all
in the beginning.
Texas owe here gigantic progress
largely to the munincence of the in
ducements she has heretofore held out
to capital. and. while l do not favor
recklcssness, yet do think 1t lll-timed
for unjust measures that would scare
away investments"

Austin, Texas, March 12.-The
changes made In the Bowser libel bill
by the senate this morning leaves
sections / and 2 10 read as follows:
Sec. 1. In any suit brought for the
publication of libel in any newspaper
In this state the plaintiff shall recover
only actual damages, If it shall appear
that the publication was made in good
faith and its falsity was not due to
negligence but to mistake or misappre-
hension of the facts. and that the
publishers thereof have reasonable
grounds TO believe that the libelous
statements are true" and that in the
next regular issue Of said newspaper
after such mistake or misrepresentation
was brought to the knowledge OF the
publishers whether before or after suit
brought, correction was published in
as conspicuous a manner and place in
said newspaper as was the article sued
on as libelous.
Sec. ?. That In actions for libel, if
there Is no express malice then no ex-
emplary or punitive damages shall be
awarded, but such malice may be In
ferred from the negligence. nature and
tone of the statements claimed to be
libelous the falsity thereof and the
want OF probable cause to believe the
hbelous statement to be true.
