Fight on Quinn Bill

Certain interests are at Austin
fighting the Quinn bill, which seeks
TO prevent diseased and infected
insects from getting the best of nurs-
cries and orchards in Texas, The
fight is coming from those outside
concerns that are using Texas as a
dumping ground for infected trees
and other nursery products. just be-
cause because Texas has no law
against the practice. The Quinn bill
is good one and has been endorsed
by all OF the fruit men.

TO BUILD A NEW PORT
OF Vast Dimensions on ihe Lower Gulf
Coast of Texas.

II Is said that plans are maturing
for the establishment of port works
at a point sixty miles north of
Brownsville, Texas. that will surpass
any on the Gulf coast.
Several years the United States
government granted franchise for
the establishment of port works at
that point to J. T. WilIett of Mexico,
but it has been but few months
since any definite action has been
taken in the matter on account Of
the lack of railroad connections.
Recent construction of the st. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico has obvi-
ated this difficulty and Mr.. Willett,
yice-president and general manager
of the Padre Island Harbor Com
pany, the organization formed to
work of constructing the harbor will
be prosecuted until they are finally
completed in 1908.
There is not a railroad that now
touches that point on the coast, but
the Brownsville line goes within
twenty miles of il and Mr.. Willett
SAYS a connecting line will be built
The contract for the port works
has been let TO New York and Am
sterdam firm. The contractors. it is
said. are considering the advisability
of building the twenty miles OF track
themselves in order to have a means
of handling the material without
bringing it by water.
Speaking of the undertaking. Mr..
Wlllett says 1.-The building of a
seawall in forty feet of water is a
matter which requires q thorough
working out of construction details
as a wall of this character. ZEN
once down, cannot be altered so that
the contractors are perfecting all of
their arrangements before handling
any large quantities of material.
THE contract is for the construc-
ton of seawall 5000 feet long
The wall will be located 5000 feet
from the shore line OF Padre Island.
The upper portion of the wall will
extend five feet above mean low tide
Between this wall and the main
shore the contracts call for the con-
struction of quay in twenty-eight
feet of water. The details of thy
quay will consist of an outer concr4
shell beginning at the bottom of M
gulf and extending seventeen feet
above mean low tide. The width OF
the quay viii be from two TO three
hundred feet. the construction of
it's inner material being sand, loose
rock and rubble.
Extending out from the quay to-
ward the seawall there are TO be
three docks. sixty feet in width and
SEQ feet in length The floor of
these docks will be seventeen feet
above mean low tide. The tide in
the gulf at this point has an average
rise and fall of from eight to eigh-
teen inches. This quay viii be con-
uected with the gulf beach with an
ordinary railway pile pier or trestle
carried on pile bents placed fourteen
| feet apart The trestle will be de
signed to carry a modern standard
guage railway employing ninety
pound steel caps. and stringers being
calculated 10 sustain the weight Of
the heaviest modern standard guage

FIRE ESCAPE FOR ELEVATOR
District Attorney Buys New Apparatus
for His Office

The sight of a man descending
through midair on a rope attracted
hundreds of people yesterday near the
court house
The man proved to be the agent for
a patent fire escape company and he
has this novel way of exhibiting his
wares.
The rope was extended from WIN
dow in District Attorney Frederick's
office on the top floor Of the court
house, and so amazed was the district
attorney at the exhibition that he inn
media tely ordered two outfits.
Later in the day the district attor-
ney was so enthused over the new ad-
dition to his office that he went to his
lunch at the noon hour over his new
system of rapid transit.
II am done with elevators" said
Captain Fredericks, as he disappeared
through the window.

"HoLY JUMPERS" SECT
~ NOW INVADING LONDON
AneeIeno Has Lodged Complaint
Against oreanization--say His
DAUGHTER Was Enthrslled

A Vitagliano, who appealed to the
police Thursday night to disenthral his
daughter Annie who is only IS years
old, from the influence of the Holy
Jumpers" did not know, perhaps. that
ne was lodging a complaint against a
religious sect which is at this time
arousing considerable interest in Lon
don.
Such Is a fact, nevertheless, accord
ing to a cable message from London.
This sect, known in Los Angeles as
the Holy Jumpers" from the fact that
jumping up and down is an important
part of their religious service, is cor
rectly styled the "Pentecostal Dancers
Of the order Of the Burning Bush"
The advance guard of the dancers
has just appeared in London, and the
Britishers, being naturally fond of
anything grotesque which they can
trace to America, are having much
fun over the advent of this new sect.
Street crowds enjoy the services pretty
much as an American gets pleasure
out of vaudeville while the more pro-
found and studious have found food
for deep thought and speculation in
the picturesque ceremonies which the
new prophets enact in the open streets.
Like a great many unaccountable
things the Order of the Burning Bush
had it's origin in Colorado and has
spread to the four points Of the COM
pass.
The dancers hold street meetings,
and with singing, dancing and jumping
work up religious fervor that is moth
ing short of fanatical This fervor
spreads to the more impressionable
in the crowds and converts in this way
are not infrequent.
