HOUSTON WILL JOIN
In Any Movement For a State Asso.
cidtiop OF Commercial Clubs.

| II was intended that a meeting o
the committee of the chamber of COM
mere should be held last evening to
| water works, but only two members
of the committee. j. 3. Badger and
NJ. L. Williams were present.
After waiting for sometime those
present came to the conclusion that
the other members of the committee
had become afflicted with the carnival
craze ard were out chasing I'VE will"
buttons. Those present therefore dis
persed.
The list prepared by Secretary Rus
sell of citizens considered eligible to
membership in the chamber has been
checked over by the committee ap-
pointed by the board and those per-
sons favorably acted upon will receive
a call from a representative of the
chamber of commerce. This method,
it is believed will materially increase
the membership of the organization.
The next regular directors meeting
will be held next Tuesday

citation has ELECTED the following:
Houston, Tex, Oct. 3.190O.
Ernest T.. Russell. Secretary Chamber
of Commerce. Ell Paso, Texas
Dear Sir:-Replying to your circular
letter of September 90 relative to the
commercial bodies of the various Tex
as cities combining in a state organi-
Zation. would say that such an effort
has been repeatedly tried.
At one time we had the secretaries
of five or six of the principal cities
meet at Austin and the result was
quite advantageous for some time. and
believe such an organization would
do good If the questions to be acted
upon were purely those of a state char
acter. For instance, Texas should be
represented at the Pan American Ex-
position in 1901. She should also
make a good show at the st. Louis
cial bodies of the state, if they would
act in harmony, could probably make
successful such exhibits. Then if we
could all agree relative to constitu-
tional convention about questions of
irrigation and drainage and many 9TH
er questions which would be of gener-
al interest. a state association might
some good. Texas is such
an enormous state. what interests us
is not of the slightest interest to the
country and Legislation that
you would desire would scarcely be
applicable to Texarkana. 1t appears
that every organization perfected in
the state gets into the control of pol
lticians. and this is practically true
because Texas is democratic at all
times and under all circumstances
Now. please do not get the idea that |
am kicker. / would be perfectly |
willing to attend such a meeting in |
any city that might be suggested |
should think, however. it would be |
best for us to meet at Austin at some |
line when the Legislature is in ses-
sion. but if Ell Paso is the choice l |
would vote in favor of that city
In fact. i would like to visit city |
hat everybody says is not surpassed |
n enterprise by any other city in the
south.
Very truly Yours.

SECONDBRANCH GRANTED TWO
Licenses, Those of Clark and Kline,
But the First Branch De-
{, clined to Concur.
A MOTHERS TOUCHING APPEAL
To Council to Do It's Duty in Sup
pressing Drinking Resorts
Where Girls are Ruined.

The feature of the meeting OF the
city council last night was the fight on
the report Of the committee on petit
lions and circumstances, as to the
granting Of liquor licenses to fourteen
saloonlsts whose places have been
classed among the Objectionable ones
where women of III fame are entertain-
ed and girls entlced to their ruin. In
the second branch licenses were voted
to two of the fourteen. Kline and Clark,
after which Mr.. Marsehner moved to
grant license to the twelve others. The
motion was downed, Is to s. and as
President Maxwell ruled that license
could not be granted to any OF the
twelve separately or together until the
branch reconsldered its action on the
Marschner motion. the question is prac-
tically settled. In the flrst branch. there
was non-concurrence in the action of
, the second in granting license to Clark
and Kline. This action was reported to
the second branch. which appointed
conference committee, but the first

procedure OF recent meetings when
there were dlsagreements with the
other branch It will appoint none
Another feature was the holding up
Of the appointment Of Charles b.
Cooke as city engineer. This action
was decided upon at caucus of the
Republican members Of council early in
the evening. at which the claim was
made that Mr.. Cooke is listed by the
Democrats as one OF them. and that he
voted AT the Democratic primaries in
1895. Some of Mr.. Cookies friends.
when seen last night, said he has been
a Republican for some time. The gen
tleman himself could not be seen. 1t is
said Mr. Cooke is now engineer, not
wlthstanding the failure Of council to
confirm.
In the second branch, sixteen mem
bers were present. with President Max
well presiding. In the first branch,
members present numbered thirteen,
with Mayor Sweeney in the chair.
