WI the Lerl.lnlute obera

DALLAS, Sept. 2s.-Whilo the govorn'
or's call for a special session Of the legis'
laturo requesting that body to pass a law
prohibiting prize fights was not entirely
a surprise, yet it had the effect Of starting
a fresh public discussion. The governors
supporters were iuhlant and regard a law
TO take immediate effect as a certainty.
The opposition maintains that the roquirs
cd two-thirds of tho members Of the legis-
iature will not be secured for an Immediate
act, but do not doubt that law will bd
passed to take effect in 90 days.
While taking this view the opposition
are wondering what the governor will do
next II law to take immediate effect IL
not passed The question on all sides Is,
will the governor rest his case on legisla.
tive actiong Conservative opinion insists
that two of the three branches Of govern
ment-the Judicial and gislative-should
and will settle tho matter. Tho judiciary
has spoken, and the Legislature will be
heard from by Oct. 4.
President Stuart of tho Florida Athletic
club maintains his usual business atti-
tudo, and rests, as he has always done,
on the legal advice Of his attorneys that
ho is proceeding undor tho law. He says;
"Whon satisfied that the laws Of Texas

torforence with contracts made with a
high judicial decision as a guide.
The Galveston Dallas News concludes
an editorial on the situation in those
words:
"And now &c is TO be hoped that the
Legislature viii at least bring the problem
to some effective and satisfactory conclu.
sion. In accomplishing this work it viii
not be enough for the legislature to close
the state against revolving brutalitios OF
