LAWMAKERS IN
EXTRA SESSION
LONE STAR STATE STIRRED BY
SESSION CALLED TO PREVENT
COMBINATION OF FIRE IN
suRANcE COMPANIES.

) Austin. Tex, July ls.-In accordanc
with a proclamation issued by Govern
or T. n. Campbell. the legislature O
Texas convened in special session to
day and was called 20 order at o'clocl
this afternoon. The specific purpos'
OF the session as named in the call IL
TO repeal the first insurance rating
board law and 10 enact such other
legislation as viii prevent a combina-
ton or trust Of fire insurance COM
panies doing business in Texas. Since
the call for the session was issued the
State Fire Rating board has given a
decision 10 the effect that the fire in
surance rates are unreasonably high
and has ordered sweeping reductions.
The insurance companies are preparing
TO make a strong fight TO prevent any
general reduction in the present rates,
despite the assertion OF the business
interests Of the state that the rates
are excessive beyond all reason.
But while the repeal OF the obnoxious
fire rating board law is named as the
specific purpose Of the session a belief
prevails that other and deeper reasons
exist for the governors action In call
ing the session at this time. The po-
litical opponents Of Governor Camp
bell have not hesitated TO declare that
politics furnished the real motive for
d nett In H.. u1s.fs
together. In support Of their declar-
alton they point 10 the fact that the
governor concluded his call with the
statement that he would submit such |
other matters Of legislation as he |
might deem proper during the session. |
AT the present time the state OF Tex |
as from end to end is in a turmoil Of |
political excitement over the guberna-
torial and legislative campaign. Four
leading candidates are engaged in a |
bitter contest for the governorship 4
which will be decided next Saturday \
when the statewide primary will be
held.
The prohibition question figures as
he leading and almost the sole issue
IF the gubernatorial campaign. In
his connection it is charged by the
leaders that Governor
campbelfs real object in converting

HOUSEWIVES Of SAN FRANCISCO
ARE INVESTIGATING HIGH PRICES

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.- =
Housewives of San Francisco to-
day launched an independent in
vestigation into the high prices [
food which they declare will go
through so far as the cities abo 1T
San Francisco bay are concerned.
Preliminary steps were taken
last evening at a meeting of the
Richmond Women's club.
A comprehensive plan was
adopted. providing for the enlist
ment OF other women's clubs m
the campaign.
According to the reports ma lie
at the meeting middle men are
blamed for local conditions. Mrs.
DC. II. O'Donnell, the secretary Ct
the club, declared that her in
vestigation had divulged the fact
that vegetables and fruits are
dumped in the bay weekly when
an overstocked market threatens
to lower prices. The elimination
of the middle man, she asserted,
provided the only solution of the
problem.

close All My Friends But
I'm Going to Clean Pittsburg'

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. &C.
When Francis j. Heney started to
clean out San Francisco he had
the backing of millions and the
services of loyal detectives and
expert graft Investigators. Dist.
Atty. VIM. A. Blakeley of this city
has started out to do the same
kind of work that Heney did in
San Francisco.
Only he has been deserted at
the very hour when he needs the
moral aid of Pittsburgs best citi-
zens, by all his friends. With a
dozen political leaders and million
aires already indicted, Blakeley
says:
81 am going to lose all the
friends | ever had, but Pittsburg
will be clean when / get through.
This city for the first time is in
for real cleaning-up. / have my
hands full now with the men I
have under arrest; the others will
come along in good time"
Less than four months ago five
of the city's greatest doctors stood
at the bedside of this fighting dis
trict attorney. They shook their
heads and issued statement that
he could not live through the
night. The city mourned but the
grafters secretly were pleased.

|of will collapsed; she hurled the
bomb in a panic of INDIGESTION.
Massacre, but no conquest!
Down in an alley below the
tower, a trembling, worn team of
oxen stood for a day and night,
awaiting the return of a master
who was never to come back to
them. God rest his simple soul!
Truxton King picked himself
up from the street, daZed, bewii-
dered, but unhurt. Everywhere
about him mad people were rush
ing and screetching. Scarcely
knowing what he did. he fled
with the crowd. From behind
him came the banging of guns,
followed by new shouts of ter
ror. He knew what it meant!
The revolutionists had begun the
assault on the paralyzed minions
of the government.
Scores of Royal Guardsmen
swept past him, rushing to the
support of the coach of gold. The
sharp, shrill scream of a single
name rose above the tumult
Some one mad seen the Iron
Count!
"MarlanX!"
He looked back toward the
CORY entrance to the Circus. There
was Marlanx, mounted and
Swinging a saber on high. Ahead
was the mass of carriages, filled
with the white-faced, palsied prey

Somewhere in that huddled, gilt
tering crowd were two beings he
willingly would give his own life
to save.

mounted guardsmen began fir

well-timed, deliberate advance Of
the mercenaries. From somewhere
near the spot where Olga Plata

to the street and ran toward the
carriages, shouting with all his
strength:
Turn back! 1t Is Marlanx!
To the castle!"
Then it was that he saw the
prince. The boy was standing on
seat on the royal coach of state
holding out his eager little hands
| to someone in the thick of the
crowd that surged about him. He
was calling someone's name. but
no one could have heard him.
Truxton's straining eyes
caught sight of the figure in gray
that struggled forward in re-
Spouse to the cries and the ex-
tended hands. He pushed his way
lsavagely through the crowd; he
came up with her as she reached
the side of the coach, and with a
shout of encouragement grasped
her in his arms.
