Bill Introduced in House Regulates
the Use of Corporate Funds In

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Austin. Tex, Jan. S1.-This was local bill
day in the House. and during the short time
that body was in session many bills Of q
local nature were disposed of.
A bill was introduced in the House by
other than one OF the Hogg bills presented
in statutory form. prohibiting the use of
corporation funds for the purpose of infiu-
encing elections and maintaining a lobby at
sessions of the Legislature. One of the
authors in speaking of the measure said:
This bill prohibits the use of corporate
funds or property except for corporate pur-
poses and provides that any other use shall
be sufficient ground for forfeiture of its
charter: Any contribution of money to any
political party or to any candidate for Of

been regularly heretofore in its employ.

To-day Representative H. b. Terrell ad-
dressed a letter to the Railroad Commits
sion, asking whether or not the commission
has the power to compel railways in this
State. to stop all regular passenger trains
at all railway stations; also asking the
commission to define what is meant by
fest trains" which only stop at large
cities.
Judge L. j. Storey. chairman Of the Rail-
road Commission, answers in a letter in
which he quotes the law, which is to the
effect that the commission has no author
ity to compel all passenger trains to stop
at all railway stations. Mr.. Terrell, with
these facts before him. will introduce a bill
to compel the railroads doing business in
Texas to stop all regular passenger trains
at all railway stations in the State.

GREAT BOXING MATCH RESULTS
In EASY VICTORY FOR JEFFRIES

Corbett. In comparison with the big
man opposed to him. looked very light,
but was really heavier than ever BE-
fore. He appeared TO have lost some
Of his old-time speed and skill during
the early part OF the fight. but this
may have been due to Jeifries' marvel
Gus improvement. Cofbett's physical
condition appeared to be all that he
had claimed for 1t. He stood many Of
Je1fries' terrific blown without wincing
and cane back swing left and right
and landing frequently. but his blows
hardly stung Jenries.
Jeflries was not only faster, stronger
and cleverer than ever before. but he
used his head to better purpose. and.
although Corbett would hit him hard
enough to hurt an ordinary man. JEFF
fries would bore right in without no
ticing the blows. and would deliver
telling hits that materially helped In
deciding the result Of the fight.
At hrst Corbett was very cautious,
and apparently was outpointed by
JefYries. but later In the hght he
warmed up and showed some OF his
old-time cleverness. From the nrst,
however. it was generally regarded -
. hopeless case for Corbett. He made
show 70 win.
After the fight was over. Corbett
quickly recovered. walked over to JEFF
fries and shook him warmly by the
hand. He said:
Jim, you beat me fairly. You
stand alone. No one can touch you"
Referee Eddie Granley said after the
tight that 1t was . great heavyweight

San Francisco. Aug. 15.-James J.
Jenries, champion heavyweight OF the
world, played with Jim Corbett for
nine rounds and . half last night. and
then Corbett's seconds motioned Ref
sreo Graney to stop the fight in order
to save their man from needless pun
ishnent.
The end came shortly after tho be-
ginning Of the tenth round. when JET
fries planted one of his terrific left
swings on Corbett's stomach. The man
who conquered John l. Sullivan then
dropped to the floor In agony, and the
memorable scene At Carson. when Bob
F1tzsimmons landed his solar plexus
blow. was almost duplicated.
This time. however, Corbett strug-
gled to his feet and again faced his gi-
gantic adversary. With hardly mo-
ment's hesitation. Jsffries swung his
right and again landed on Corbett's
stomach.
Jim dropped to the door. and then
II wal that Tommy Ryan. seeing that
It was all over. motioned to Referee
Graney to stop the punishment.
The fight last night demonstrated be-
yond ali doubt that Jeifries stands
alone in his class. He showed remark
able improvement in both speed and
skill. Corbett. during the nrst part OF
the night. was almost outpointed. and
the few blows that he landed on JET
fries were apparently without sting.
Jehries was never In better condi-
ton. He looked lighter than usual.
and the way he moved about on his
feet and the frequency with which he
countered ON Corbett's leads astonished
avery body.
