Practical phlIaathropist Discusses
The Question.
ANOTHER PUBLIC MEETING PLANNED
The Present lndiserirlnste Giving to the
Poor Deeried--The eiver Often Fails
In Generosity Because OF Frauds.

The question Of united charities asso-
cistion in Houston is now being agltated by
some OF the leading men and women OF the
city, and from all Indications there bids
fair to be some definite action takcn Ia
this most important matter In the near fu.
iure
Two or three months ago q meeting OF
the Pastors association OF Houston was
heid aud the matter was discussed at great
length. 1t was the consensus OF opinion
that the city had outgrowu the present sys
tens Of charity dispensing and that some
thing on larger scale must be attempted.
1t was pointed out that nearly all ;ho
churches Of the city have their charity
boards or committees who are Supposed TO
look after the needs and wants OF thc dc
serving poor of their churches. While
these committees have been, and axe, doing
al in their power to care Tor any worthy
case that comes before tncm they are
handicapped By appeal after appeal from
hose outside VI the scope Of their vo@k.
While they are perfectly willing 10 help m
taese cases, also, they ind that their time
and resources will not permit NJ the at
tontion deserved. Therefore a system OF
Iharity upon broader lines was planned To
ihis end committee vas appointed 10

PANTHER WAS FIRED ON.
Her Intention Was to Get Better SheI-
 ter Near the Bar.

Washington, January 2S.-The follow ing statement was made at the German embassy tonight by Count Quadt relative to the Panther episode at Fort Carlos:
 We had thought until now that the Panther was trying to get into Maracaibo harbor. which it had a perfect right to do, to make the blockade more effective and to stop the supposed importation of supplies from across the Colombian bor- der Heretofore this opinion prevailed in Berlin and only now has a report come showing absolutely clearly that the Pan ther had not the remotest intention of going into the harbor and could not have so, because she was drawing too much water to cross the bar. Her intention was to get better shelter near the bar, and when she was approaching the bar she was fired on by the San Carlos forts.'
 Expecting Raise at Any Moment.
 Caracas, January 2s.-Every one here expects the blockade to be raised at any moment.
 It has been learned from an officer of the United States gunboat Marietta, which anchored today at LaGuayra, that the German commodore, Scheder, on ar- irving at willemstadt with the vineta, said:
 The Panther did not fire first on Fort San Carlos on January IT, She was obliged by a storm to take refuge inside the bar and on coming near the fortress she tried to land a boat flying red flag. This signal was misinterpreted by the fort. which subsequently, fired on the boat"

OSTEOPATH BILL THE CAUSE
pr. Cunningham Makes Hot Speech Against Measure and Mrs. Llaon Takes offense at His Words.
 Legislative Proceedings.

Montgomery, January 2s,-(special.l- The only sensational feature connected with the legislature today occurred dur ing session of the house Judiciary committee this afternoon. At this meeting the lie was passed and serious trouble was only averted by cool heads.
 When the matter was adjusted a sug- gestion was made to Chairman Rich that his committee seemed to furnish first class shows only. and that they were all star performers.
 The committee had before 1t the Ben- ners bill to legalize the practice of oste- opathy in Alabama, and after Dr. Glen Andrews, president of the state medical society, Dr. J. B. Gaston of Montgomery. and Dr. W. H. Sanders. state health of- ficer had argued against the pending bill. Mrs. Ligon of Mobile. an osteopath, made a strong reply. Her speech showed that she had a thorough knowledge of med icine. Before she concluded, the state medical presented her with certificate emitting her to practice medicine in the state.
 Mrs. Ligon had formerly stood the ex- animation and was entitled to the cerun- cate. but Dr. Morris, Birmingham oste- opath, thought the state board was try ing to gain a point of vantage by pre- senting the certificate at that particular time and he openly made the charge. The charge had barely been made when State Health Officer Sanders gave 1t the lie and for a few minutes 1t appeared that there would be serious trouble. The mat ter was adjusted, however, and Dr. R. M. | Cunningham made an argument against | the bill.
 His speech was one that might be well l termed a ''warm number" as he was very severe upon the osteopaths, and all other paths" as he declared. Mrs. | Ligon claimed that Dr. Cunningham s language was insulting to her, but he very quickly sdisclsimed any intention oi speaking an insult.

Ticket Matter Goes Over.

Atlanta, Ga, January 2S.-The meeting of the International committee on ticket contracts, consisting of railroad men from all parts of the United States and from Canada, representing the eight pas senger associations ended tonight. Hav- ing debated for two days the problem of adopting for ticket contracts standard forms which would be uniform through out the United States and Canada, the committee determined to let the matter go over until the next meeting which will probably be held within the next two months. The question will be intimately submitted to mass meeting of passen- ger men in Chicago for final adoption.
