Lott, Texas, Juno "A very destructive
hail storm swept over the western portion
of Falls county late yesterday evening aud
last night Corn was badly damaged in
places and small grain suffered In a like

An amendment by MIR. Alice was adopted,
STIMULATING that the compensation OF dis
trict Officers shall be applied for eervices
IN the entire district and not construed to
mean maximum allowance in each county
in said district
MIR. Darwin attempted to make $500 re-
ducton in the maximum allowance of Off

Several minor amendments were offered
upon which. together with the bill. Mr..
Terrell moved the previous question. There
was some dissatisfaction at this. especially
in case OF MIR Lewis who had two amend

We're shut off by the previous question
Mr.. Terrell after adjournment claimed he
yielded for the amendments by Mr. Lewis,
who had failed 10 take advantage of the
opportunity as others had done Elr. Lewis
was inclined 10 regard the proceedings as
unfair. and referred TO the fact that such
proceedings In the senate would not help
the bill any in the house.
The bill. however. was enErossed. and ad
iournnent taken until the usual hour to-.
morrow.

but its entire abrogation would. It ie be-
iieved, have the contrary effect, viz, 10 pro-
mote csreessness among employees.
J. The sbrogation OF the fellow servants
rule as to railroads would be an unjust, II
not unconstitutional discrimination against
railroads and II intended to benefit rail-
road employees. IL is unjust not 10 extend
the same benefits wherever the relation OF
employer and employee exists.
4. We believe that the amendment OF the
Fellow servants statute as contemplated In
senate bill No. Thy Atlee and Staffort)
would give the employees OF railroads all the
relief they can In reason expect, having due
regard to the rights OF the railways and
the general interests and welfare of the
people.
In recommending the passage OF the bill
by Alice and stafford, which defines who
fellow servants are. and, in fact. being a
copy of the present statute with the elm
nation OF tho clause which the courts have
held TO be the Legislative definition OF a
grade" the same minority presented the
following reasons:
The bill seeks to amerd the present
statute. defining who are fellow servants,
by eliminating the statutory test as to the
meaning Of grade Of employments." there
by leaving IL to the courts to apply any or
all the tests which may reasonably indicate
difference Of grade such as authority OF
one over another. order of promotion, skill
In the service. compensation received etc.
In the statute as it now stands the courts
are compelled to follow the statutory defini-
tion and to apply that the only test.
Your minority believe tina, the bill II
enacted into law will meet the demands Of
railway employees within the bounds Of
reason and without abrogatng the rule Of
fellow servants. which rule we believe is
Just alike to tho railways and the employees :,
wherefore We recommend that the bill do
pass"

Lewis bill and five against. No action was
