AUSTIN. Tex. Juno 7.-Gov. Culberso, to-day
did something unprecedented in legislative cir
Giles by vetoing at ono clip four bills passed at
the regular session Of the Legislature recently
closed. During that session he vetoed sixteen
bills moro than any previous Governor ever
vetoed, and now adds four moro disapprovals.
The mos. important bill vetoed to-day is a gen
eral occupation tax bill, which Is of an omnibus
character and sought {. tax everybody and
every industry in the State. The Governor says
that while the object OF the bill Is commendable
he must veto 1t because the bill will authorize
the circulation OF obscene literature. gambling
by pool selling. and legaliZo the fire Insurance
trust now operating in tho State and which Is
being prosecuted.
Ho vetoed the bill making IL a felony to steal
cotton of the value OF $40 and over. The bill is
vetoed on the grounds that IL would increase
the cost Of felony prosecutions in the State.
while no material boncht would be derived. Ho
also vetoed the bill allowing the Waco Water
Power and Electric Light Company to dam the
Brazos River, on the ground that a private cor
poration would be getting assistance at public

instance In the practice Of the Harvard crews
to-day was a onc-mile row on time this evening.
Tho watcr was not very good. as an ~easterly
wind prevailed and the tide was not favorable.
The varsity eight went out about $50 O'Clock
and padded around for about half an hour,
when No. . broke his outrigger, and the shell
WAS rowed back to the hoaihouse for repairs.
After this the eight went out again, and
pulled q mile ut II good pace, but the
time was not announced. The freshmen
padded along with the varsity before the time
pull, and. hold even with them. This morning
the varsity eight was on the river for half an
hour practising starts and stretches. The fresh
men were also out in tho Clasper boat. Both
crews are using the same boats that they started
to work in, 4 feature Of the stroke taught BY
Lehmann Is the exceedingly long reach. The
men bend way over and pull the stroke through.
Tho oars are then dropped quickly, and the re-
COW or Ia the most graceful part OF the effort.

Cook is making a mistake. The water In tho
