Luling, Texas, April 2o.--The banquet
and ball given last night to members of
company D Lipscomb Rihes) on their re-
turn home from the army was perfect
success in every way. At an early hour
Moral Union hall was well filled with
people TO listen to the welcome address
by DR.. j. l.. Lloyd, The doctor was in a
happy mood and in his inimicaI style paid
a glowing tribute TO the American soldier
on whatever occasion his services had
been called for by his country. His eulogy
on the volunteer soldier was grand The
address was very appropriate and at its
conclusion was vigorously applauded.
Lieutenant Rainboldt was then called for,
and In a few well chosen words expressed
the Joy OF the boys on being mustered out
and again becoming private citizens and
especially did he thank the good people
Of Luling for the hearty welcome given
the company and the magnificent enter
tainment gotten up for their special eajoy-
ment. Lieutenant Rainboldt has many
friends in and around Luling and his
speech brought forth a storm OF applause.
The banquet was simply out OF sight, equal
almost 10 the famous $40 Belmont Croker
affair recently held in New York--that is
so TAR as rear enjoyment was concerned
The ball at the Armory was one OF the
largest given in Luling for many years.
The beauty and ehivalry OF Luling was out
In full blast, and until the wee sma hours
the festivities were kept up. Many visit
ors from Seguin. Lockhart, Gonzales and
other neighborlng towns were present 10

Is IL any reason why pools and trusts

II Is the opinion OF this COMMITTEES that

be for the country.
We beg TO submit also that a repre-.
sentative of some OF the labor organiza.
tions appeared before the committee and
asked an amendment 10 this bill exemptlng
labor organizations from Its operations.
This we decline to do because under the
very terms OF the bill such organizations
are not included. The bill Is only intend
ed TO reach articles and things concrete
and does not cover or reach labor organi'
cations as such,
We further submit that in view OF the
possible disturbance OF interests in Texas

the committee has concluded to recon-
mend that the bill be 20 amended as TO put
1t in effect on the first day of January,

to give any OF the insurance companies
that are now in n pool an opportunity to
withdraw from the same and make the

was resumed in the house this morning.
An amendment was offered by Mr.
Decker to increase the salary OF the chief
sales clerk In the school land department
from s11o0 to s14oo, and Mr.. shelburnc
offered substitute for Deckers amend
ment proposing to increase the salary of
those OF the two assistants from Si100 to
$1,000. The substitute was lost.

duce the number Of sales clerks from three

crease the salary of porter in the attor-

vide salary of 5000 for librarian OF
the supreme court library, which he sub
sequently withdrew and in lieu thereof
offered one to appropriate 5000 for the
purpose. Subsequently this was also
withdrawn.
After the item appropriating $500, the
amount of salary provided by law for the
CLERK and librarian OF the supreme court,
had been adopted, Mr., Monroe moved to
reconsider the vote by which 1t had been
adopted, the object being TO provide in
the appropriation for applying a portion
Of the salary OF that official specifically TO
the payment OF the person appointed by
him to act as librarian. The motion was
lost.
Mr.. Caldwell offered an amendment to in
crease the salary of supreme court bailiff
