Minneapolis Journal,
The Chicago Tribune, which has for
years made Investigations OF acct
dents caused by Fourth OF July ceie-
brations, reports that this years tale
of deaths Is fifty-two, against severn
ty at the same period last year. The
report will prove disappointing. but not
discouraging. That there should still.
after a vigorous campaign of educa-
tion, be half q hundred deaths charge
able to fireworks and cannon Is hu-
initiating. But that the deaths have
decreased by such a percentage as 10
shown indicates that public opinion up-
on the subject of Independence day
siaughte Is awakening,
The difficulty sure to be met II that
the American people cannot and viii
not perpetually scold, and that, when
they cease to scold, the death dealing
cracker will begin operations again.
There seems nothing for 1t but an al.
firmative campaign against the pri-
vate and uncontrolled celebration. A
good alternative seems to be public
and controlled celebration. This was
tried in washington this year with re-
markable results. The safe and sane
Fourth in the national capital went
or with the banner record OF not q
single accident from fireworks This
seems well nigh incredible. But II 10
stated as a fact, and II IL added that
the committee in charge Of this years
celebration has organized an Independ-
ence day association to continue the
new order. All cities will have to do
something like this unless there Is TO
be a reversion to the old terror OF the
Fourth.

EXTRA SESSION IN TEXAS.
Legislators May He Called Together Z
Near Future.

Near Future.
San Antonio. Texas. July 1s.-(Spe-
cial lit Is probable that Texas will
take the lead In adopting a Joint In
come tax amendment to the Constitu.
tion of the United States. As soon as
the income tax resolution passed Con-
gress, kilograms were sent by the
Texas delegation at Washington TO
Governor Campbell urging q special
session Of the Legislature to ratify
the resolution.
Owing to the fact that a number of
important bills passed by the recent
Legislature of Texas have been found
to contain serious errors, there Is a
necessity for getting the Legislature
together. The State has defaulted on
q bond issue OF sl.06s,o00 owing to the
fact that the Governor vetoed the
bill providing for the retiring Of this
issue. Some provision must be made
for redeeming these bonds, and 1t is
unofifcially announced that the Cover
nor will convene the Legislature in
special session this fall.

MANY ALIENS IN TEXAS.

San Antonio. Texas. July 1s.--(Spe-

June 80, the records show that 10.14e
alienists applied for. admission at
Laredo. OF these but 212 were ad-
mitted and became citizens of Texas.
OF these. about 30 per cent. were Mex
leans. most of them becoming labor
ers in the rapidly developing farming
country OF Southwest Texas.
These aliens are required to pay q
head tax of 81 except when they are
citizens of Canada, Newfoundland,

much more efficient laborers than the
negroes, are more docile and easily
handled, and with training more rap

DUEL FOLLOWS
 RESERVATIONS

Havana, October 27.-President Gomez today accepted the resgnations es secre- tary of state Justo Garcia Vele2 and Sec netary of Sanitatiqe nr Matthias hua'ie. Their successors have not been appointed. The resignations were rendered recently as the result of a quarrel between the two secretaries over the conduct of the de- partment of sanitation. For time duel was threatened, but a court of honor de- cided that such settlement of honor was not required.
 The dispute between Secretary of State .Justo Garcia Velez and Secretary of San itation Matthias Duque, whose resignations from the cabinet were accepted by Presi- dent Gomez late last night eliminated this morning in duel with pistols. The men exchanged four shots but neither was injured.
 The action of the President in suddenly accepting the resignations of the secre- taries is believed to have resulted from the decision of the court of honor, to which the matter was referred, that duel was unnecessary for the vindication of the honor of both in consequence of insults passed during the discussion of matters connected with Secretary Duque's department.
 It was rumored that Senor Velez would be reinstated as secretary of state or ap- pointed minister to Berlin.
