A Morning Alarm

A FIRE alarm was turned in yester.
day morning from the Rappelyea
House on Tenth street, near Com
mercial, at 8 o'clock owing TO another
burning chimney Luckily the FIRE
did no particular damage, but some
day with the congestion of pipes that
prevail there, all entering one serv'
ice chimney, the story may have a
very different ending II is hoped not,
of course, since other valuable prop

RATE WAR THREATENED.
Action Likely to Effect Freight Rates
to West.

Special to the Bryan Morning Eagle
New York, Jan l9.-Much interest
is manifested in railroad circles in to-
days meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Trunk Line Railroad Asso-
citation TO consider the question of the
differentiallower freight rates made
by agreement between the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad Com
pany and the Canadian Pacific. The
subject has a very important bearing
upon the whole question of through
freight rates to Western points, and
may have in the end to be referred to
higher authorities than the executive
committees OF the trunk lines.
New Haven position is that by the
arrangements established some fifteen
years ago by which it was given no
lifferentials, ii has been placed in a
position prejudicial to its interests.
II is claimed that it has practically TO
compete with the lower differential
freight rates already established north
Of the Boston & Albany line, inclusive.
In addition its interests are affected,
as the company is understood to

New York and elsewhere connecting

HOUSE DISCUSSES NEWSPAPERS
Hon. w. C. Davis Pays High Tribute to
The Press.

Mr.. Adams offered a resolution en-.
titling each member to subscribe for
| five newspapers, to be paid for from
the contingent expense fund. A sub
stitute to make the number three. by
Mr.. Jennings was tabled Mr.. Stamp
said it was unconstitutional to have
the state paying for three, five or a
dozen newspapers for the representa-
lives. He said men were needed who
paid no attention to newspaper talk.
Mr.. Adams said it was absolutely nee
essary that the representatives be pos
ted on current events, and the only
manner by which they could be so in
formed was by reading the newspapers
of Texas Mr.. Tarver spoke against
the resolution. Mr.. Davis offered a
substitute for the amendment. provid.
ing for four instead of five new spapers
to be supplied TO each representative
by the state. Mr.. Davis said one of
the most potent influences for the
dissemination of morals was the news
papers. He said that it was absolute
ly necessary that the members of the
House be granted the privilege of the
great press of Texas. Mr.. Driggers
said he believed in economy. but the
newspapers were needed. He said:
AS ! look over this house see intelli.
gent faces. believe that this inteui.
gence is largely due to newspapers"
Mr.. Adams of Bexar asked Mr.. Tar. |
yer, who while speaking at length
upon economy yielded to question.
DO you know that this talk is costing
the state about $500 per minute?"
(Laughter.)
The amendment for four newspapers
prevailed and the resolution was

MUST HAVE CONSENT
TO PERFORM AUTOPSY
Deputy District Attorney Decides Point
Asked by Steward of County Hos
pitaI-Reason for Question
Not Known

The question whether or not autop-
sizes can be performed on the bodies Of
patients dying at the county hospital
without first receiving consent of rela-
tives of the deceased persons has been
propounded to the district attorney by
Robert f. Hayhurst, steward at the
hospital, the occasion for the inquiry,
it is believed, being the desire of stu
dent assistants to carry on work Of
dissection without discrimination.
The matter was turned over by Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks to G.. Ray
Horton, one of his deputies, and reply
was made to Mr.. Hayhurst yesterday
in which Mr.. Horton states that if sur
geons proceed with an autopsy against
the wishes OF relatives, even in cases
where the physicians in charge deem
1t advisable, they do SO at the risk of
liability in a civil action for damages.
Whether or not the inquiry arose over
an attempt to perform an autopsy or
one that had been carried through over
the protest of the relatives of a de-
ceased person, his communication to
the district attorney would seem to in
dicate that such was the case. Mr..
Hayhurst was i'll in bed yesterday and
could not be seen.
Relatives Must Consent
1.-THE consent of relatives is necessary
as a general rule before an autopsy
can be held,' says Deputy Horton. IF
surgeons proceed with an autopsy
against the wishes of relatives, even in
cases where the physicians in charge
deem an autopsy desirable, they do so
at the risk of liability in a civil action.
"The county, that Is to say, the per-
sons charged with the support of the
poor in the locality in which death oc-
ours, must bear the burden OF burial
only when the person or persons in the
same degree nearest of kin to the de-
ceased who are charged with the duty
of burial are not of adult age, or not
within the state or not possessed OF
sufficient means to defray the neces-
sary expenses. Even then the county
or its agents cannot submit the corpse
to an autopsy without the consent of
relatives.
"Such relatives, though minors still
retain the right to require the body OF
the deceased to be buried unmutilated
and without Disagreement.
Mr.. Horton also states that under or
binary circumstances even the coroner
is without authority to order an au-
topsy unless the facts afford reason
able ground to suspect that death had
been occasioned by the act Of another
by criminal means.

$4,000 acres, and is increasing rapid

Santa Fe, the ancient capital of the
Territory, is one of the most interest
ing cities in America. 1t had been an
Indian pueblo at the time Of its dis
covery and occupation by the Span
iards in the latter half of the six
teenth century and has remained the
seat of government ever since. In 1850
the Indians revolted and drove out the
Spaniards, but after fourteen years
the latter regained the ascendency and
the Spaniards and their descendants,
the MeXicans continued to govern the
Territory from Santa Fe until the
Americans, under General Kearney,
took possession, in 1916.
Two-thirds of the present popula-
ton of Santa Fe is Mexican. The
boys who drive the wood-aden burros
from the distant mountains are Mex

ccries would rather talk Spanish than
'''''N' ''N''''' anu INITIAL hDtN-
ments are printed in the language of
the Dons as well as in our own unor-
nate means of communication. The
influence of the Spanish pioneers is
everywhere visible. One sits in the
plaza in the center of town, and looks
upon the long, one stored structure
that was graced with the name Of
palace by the long line of Spanish
governors that lived in 1t.
One hears the silver tinkle of an
ancient bell. and it calls him to old
San Miguel Church-the hoariest re-
ligous structure in the country, save
one. The adobe walls Of the old
church have been repaired, but In gen
eral outlines it is the same as when
the old Spanish pioneers built it. A
little way from the old church one is
directed to the oldest house in the
country-and so one wanderS through
the streets of Santa Fe. sometimes
amused, but always fascinated.
