HE NEW MEDICAL BILL
AN OPINION THEREON BY THE At
TORNEY GENERAL.
It Is Not Effective for Ninety Days After
the Adjournment Of the Leg
isIature.

Austin, Texas, May SIN reply to the
following letter from Governor Snyers. as
to the medical bill passed by the recent
session OF the legislature, Attorney General
Bell submits the following opinion ms 10
when the law goes into effect;
l have your letter of the 9th inst, In
which you request the opinion of the attor-
ney general touching house bill No. 1t3,
entitled "An act TO repeal title 50 of the
revised statutes OF the state OF Texas,
and 10 pass in lieu thereof this act 10
license physicians and surgeons and en-
deayor TO regulate the practice OF medl-
cine, and TO punish persons violating the
provisions thereof in the State of Texas,
upon the following points. towlt:
/. Did the law 20 into effect Immediate
ly upon It's approval; that Is, February -,
1901, Of docs II take eject ut the expiru-
lion of ninety days from and afte. the ad'
5ournment Of the legislature said adjourn
ment having occurred at midday ah April
>, Would 1t be lawful for the governor
10 appoint the boards contemplated In said
act on any other date except that provided
for such appointment In section Of the
act; towit: The 10Th day of May follow
ing his inauguration?
Section 30. article OF the constitution
provides that no law passed by the lesiS
lature, except the general appropriation
act shall take effect OIL go into effect untll
session at which it vas enacted. unless
in ease of an emergency, which crnergen'
cy must be expressed in the preamble or
in the body OF the act; unless the legisla-
ture shall otherwise dliect." etc.
IN the copy of the bill when accompan
led pour com muuication, II does not appear
that the legislature provided, either In the
preamble or In the body Of the act, that
the law should take effect from and after
Its passage. II follows therefore, that the
law does not so into effect until ninety
DAYS after the Adjournment OF the legisln-
ture,
The authorities seem to be conclusive on
the proposition that though statute
directs thing TO be done at a particular
time 1t does not necessarily follow that Il
may not be done afterwards In other
words. as the cases universally hold, Il
statute specifying the time within which
a public officer is to perform a final act

statute is such that q designation Of the
time must he considered as a Limitation of

therefore give as the opinion Of tho
attorney generals department that the law
inquired about does not become effective
until ninety DAYS after the 9th dav OF
April. 1901 and that It will be legal for the
governor TO appoint the boards provided
FOR in the law NJ any time thereafter.

being private individuals, we could
not prevent the government from
pressing the brigands: also. that the
ransom Is too princaly. No such sum
was ever heretofore demanded. No
rejonder has yet been rec. ived.
Usually. brigands ask about G;000 and
then agree for half. Twenty-Five thou
sand Turkish pounds means two-horse
loads OF gold. and that is more gold
than there now is in Bulgaria. Be-

not honored. and the brigantis or

WASHINGTON. Oct 22.--The refus-
al OF the brigands who abducted Miss
Stone to accept a smaller ransom than
they originally fixed has led the ad-
ministration to suspect that they have
a representative in New York who Is
advising them by cable Of the progress
in raising the amount demanded. Con-
tident. as a result of the representa-
tions OF the United States. that they
will not be attacked by either the
brigands can quietly wait until the
ransom has been collected and is in
the hands of Mr.. Eddy, secretary of
the American legation In CONSTANT

duction of the captive.
