THE TEXT BOOK MATTER
Not Yet SettIed-If Publishers Cannot
Supply Texas Schools Contracts
Will Be Cancelled at Once.

Austin, Texas, Dec. Ex-Governor
Campbell today wired the different
book publishing houses that have con
tracts to furnish text books to the
state, that unless school books are de-
livered promptly he will direct the at
torney general TO file suit to cancel
these contracts. Representatives of
several of the text book companis are
here today to see about the matter
which has been agitated for several
days. County Superintendent L. L..
Pugh of Harris county is here today
and Informed Superintendent Cousins
that there is no trouble about books
in Harris county
The attorney general yesterday adj
vised numerous inquirers that section
10 of the text book law permits school
patrons to procure text books where
ever they can in the event of the con
tractors failure TO supply them. More
over. he holds in effect that when pa
irons have provided themselves in this
way, the tender of the adopted books
by the contractors subsequently will
not have the effect of re-establishing
the obligations of the contract. Under
the terms of this ruling, the restric-
lions of the textbook law are nullified
wherever the contractors have failed
to fulfill their obligations and the peo-
pie are empowered TO employ for the
remainder of the period covered by
the original contracts any books they
may select.

CHRISTMAS AND The
ORGANIZED CHARITIES

At recent meeting of the ladies'
and officers connected with this organ
ization it was decided that no sys-
tematic solicitation of food stuffs or
clothing would be made by them this
Christmas However, we are prepared
to receive all voluntary contributions
along this line, and will welcome
same. We expect to concentrate more
especially on gifts for children, such
as toys, fruits, nuts, candy and all the
more substantial gifts as well. The
depot of receipt and distribution will
kbe The Herald Office, thanks to the
Kindness of the proprietors of that
paper. Last year we made a thorough
canvass of the merchants for the
staples, but as this might work hard
ship on this particular class to the
exclusion of others, it was decided to
make the giving as easy and simple
as possible for those who wish to
give but not to put the organization
in the attitude of forcing contribu-
lions from any one who might prefer
to manage their charity in some other
way.
What we most desire in the publ
cation of this article is to call atten-
ton to the low state of our finances
and to appeal to the public for gen
erous Christmas donation. Our
Thanksgiving collection was very
small owing to the fact that there
were probably not dozen business
men in the congregation, and the
amount received would not pay the
running expenses of the organization
for two weeks time, at the usual rate
that we receive calls for assistance
based on our past years record. Last
Christmas and Thanksgiving we re-
esived $500 in money and fresh mer-
chandise. Since that time we have
striven in every way possible to merit
the support and approval OF the COM
munity. We have held ourselves ready
day or night to respond to calls, have
advertised that we were ready to do
so, and if you are not in touch with
our work it will surprise you to know
that our monthly expenditures were III
the neighborhood of 800. This is no
great sum to divide throughout the
four wards of the town, S25 per month
to the ward. Now, money will buy
all things, and although we welcome
anything whatsoever of value 10 the
destitute, yet we much prefer five and
ten dollar checks. We received num-
Der last year and no doubt will do so
this Christmas as well. Ours is no
money-making business, and we rely
exclusively on the generosity of the
public, approaching the fact that they
have been liberal in the past Our
treasury is now empty and bare, but
we are not and have never been at
loss for funds when the appeal was
made. Remember, you are not giving
to us, but to the poor of the town,
your town, in a systematic fashion.
Contribute and then refer all charity
cases to us.
One word more and then we are
done. We are most anxious to receive
an increase in the regular monthly
card donations. Last year this amount
was smaller than the year previous
and had it not been for a number of
checks received from individuals we
would look back at a year of failure in

Moss Kills the Trees.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
San Antonio, Texas, Dec 16-Long
gray trailers of moss making vistas
like a Gothic Cathedral out of the
arching trees in San Pedro Park, this
city, have threatened the life of the
trees. Mayor Callaghan turned out
the fire department and had the trees
flushed with hot water and succeeded
in dislodging the tendrils of the moss
and washing it away. This moss is
used in making mattresses and has a
commercial value, but in large guam
titles it is injurious to trees.

The text of the resolution ON the
death of Senator Redfield Proctor in
troduced I'm the convention by ex-
Lieut.. Gov. u. NJ. Mansur OF Newport,
on behalf OF the committee on resolu-
tons and adopted by rising vote, is
as follows: Resolved, That in the
recent death of Hon. Redheld Proctor
our late senior senator. the Republi.
can party has lost one of its most 10y
al and active supporters; Vermont has
lost her first citizen; the nation has
lost statesman, the world has lost
"A man. His deep and passionate de-
votion for the state of which he was
himself product, and his supreme
belief in her people and her institut-
ions will be an inspiration to any YER
monter In the years to come. The
sympathy of this convention Is ex
tended to his bereaved family In the
loss of man in whom the finest ira.

and one seconding speech had been

on county delegation and wanted to
know II anybody could say whether
Senator Dillingham; was friendly ito
the administration or not. Battell
said the reason why he asked was be-
cause he had lived at the same hotel
with him at Washington pretty much
all winter and from what he saw and
heard he judged that he was not
friendly to the administration. He be
lieved the convention had a right to
information on this point and he said
II Roosevelt's name comes before the
national convention for denomination
as 1t probably will. Vermont should
know whether Delegate Dillingham;
would vote for him. Absolutely no at
tention was paid to Battell's speech
In any subsequent remarks. There
was hush for moment and then the
seconding speeches went briskly on as
If nothing had happened. Indeed the
only effect OF Battell's query was to
bring out some seconding speeches

tested ordinarily never would have

WANTS pope's APPROVAL
DeSagan Anxious for Religious Mar
riaqe With Nine. Gould.

Naples, May Prince Helie de Sa-
gan and Nine Gould went to Rome
yesterday. They had heard nothing
definite when they left from the per
sons through whom the prince sought
an interview for himself and Nine.
Gould with the pope. Indirectly, how
ever limitations have reached them
that Heie may as well abandon his
attempt to induce the vatican to annul
Nine Goulds marriage to her divorced
husband, Count Boni de Castellane.
II Is considered doubtful II Plus will
even see them. The prince Is deter
mined not to give up. however until
he has exhausted every resource and
will redouble his efforts on reaching
the Italian capital for an audience of
his holiness.
He is exceedingly anxious to be mar
ried to Nine Gould by religious as
well as q civil ceremony and unless
the annulment can be secured, the pa
pal approval of divorce being out of
the question, only the latter will be
possible.
From persons close to both Helie
and Nine. Gould 1t is declared certain
that the couple will live Il Nice after
their marriage, provided arrangements
can be made for the residence Of the
three Castellane children outside
French territory. The divorce decree
forbade their removal from France
during their minority without Bonis
consent. This was granted for a
three months period at the time they
vi hat
1t is doubtful however, whether the
count will be so compliant concerning
permanent foreign residence, espec-
tally with Prince Helie as their step
father.
