STATE TREASURY DEPOSITS.
Various School and Asylum Funds Of
State Receive Credit of $103,705.26
During the Past Month.

Austin, Tex.-A total of $103,705.26
was deposited by the state treasurer
during the month of June to the credit
of the various school and asylum
funds. Of that amount $67,670.SS was
principals and s35,734.3S was interest.
This does not represent the receipts
for that period for, under the new law,
only about eighty per cent is reQuir-
ed to be deposited each month, the re-
mainder being kept in order to make
refunds where title to lands did not
pass, though first payments had been
put up. Frequently attempts to pur-
chase or lease school and asylum land
fail because of errors or conflicts and
the state refunds the money. The
twenty per cent is retained each
month for that purpose and what IS
left is deposited the following month.

PASSING AWAY OF SENATOR M'ENERy
During His Services As Senator He
Was Known As An independent
acknowledgements Tribute.

New Orleans, La.-United States
Senator Samuel Douglas McEnery
died at his home Tuesday morning.
Senator McEnery arrived from
Washington Monday morning, suffer
ing from an attack Of Indigestion. He
was taken to his home whore physi'
clans were hastily summoned The
Senator rallied somewhat after being
treated, and showed marked improve
ment. Later his condition took a turn
for the worse, and early on Tuesday
morning he lapsed into unconscious
ness and death came peacefully.
During his services as senator Mr..
McEnery was known as an indepen-
dent democrat, who voted frequently
with the republicans. This was true
particularly in tariff legislation.
Throughout the last two revisions OF
the tariff he contended jealonsly for
the protection Of the cane sugar in
terests, and was willing to make many
concessions to the majority party in
return for favors shown to him. At
times his attitude provoked some
criticism from his party associates,
but this never swerved him from his
Independent course. The fact that
Senator McEnery was afflicted with
almost total deafness prevented him
from taking an active part in debates.
Vice President Sherman, upon hear.
ing of Senator McEnery's death, sent
the following telegram to Mrs. Mem
cry:
Il am deeply grieved by the startl-
Ing news of Senator McEnery's death.
Close association with him engender-
ed affection and respect. feel per-
sonal loss. His state and country lose
a firm and faithful servant. To you
and his family offer my tender sym
pathies."
The body of Senator McEnery was
laid to rest Friday at New Orleans.

Jas. J. Jeffries Of California, win.
ner of twenty-five championship
fights, the man who never before was
brought to his knees by blow, Mon
day passed into history as a broken
idol. He met utter defeat at the
hands of the black champion.
While Jeffries was not actually
counted out, he was saved only from
this humiliation by his friends plead
ing with Johnson not to hit the fallen
man again, and the towel was brought
into the ring from his corner. At the
end of the fifteenth round Referee Tex
Richard raised the black arm and the
great crowd filed out, glum and silent.
Jeffries was dragged to his corner
bleeding from nose and mouth and
dozen cuts on the face. He had a
black closed eye and swollen features
and he held his head in his hands,
daZed and incoherent.
Johnson walked off the ring with
out mark on his body except slight
cut on his lip, which was the opening
of a wound received in training.

NEW RAILROAD RATE LAW
WAS SUBJECT OF DlSCUss'ON
BETWEEN TAFT AND KNAPP.
Commissions Increased Power 10 DC
Exercised Only When Rates are
Believed Excessive.

Beverly. Mass.-President TAFT nau
a long talk Friday with Chairman
Knapp of the Interstate Commerce
Commission regarding the admlnlslTa-
ton of the new railroad rate law. Al
the conclusion of the interview II was
made plain that the added authority
given to the commission by the ne"
statute is not to be used arbitrarily or
for the purpose of hindering the rail-
roads in the conduct OF their le9lVl-
mate business. The power to suspend
new rates, probably the most direct
weapon placed In the hands or the
commission, is to be used only IN eA'
ceptonal cases.
Chairman Knapp told the president
that the commission had refused an
application under the law for sus-
pension of Increased rates on morse
vehicles and automobiles. He sala
there was nothing in the face OF things
to show that the new rates were uh-
just or unreasonable.
The Interstate Commerce C0mmls'
sion will not attempt to fix DEFINITE
rates for the railroads, and the power
Of suspension will be applied only TO
rates when preliminary hearing
gives indication that they are excess
sive. In all such contested cases the
president was informed that the COM
mission vii endeavor to arrive at the
facts at the earliest possible moment
From time to time since the new
law went into effect there have been
indications that some of the big rail-
roads have been considerably worried
as to the extent and manner in when
the rate-regulating clauses OF the new
law would be employed by the COM
mission. Stock manipulators in Wall
street, the administration had been
informed, were trying to trade upon
this doubt and to make the most OF
the situation to their own advantage.
1t can be authoritatively stated that
it was never intended that the new
law should be club or that it should
be a means of profit taking by bears
in the market The commission will
not run amuck" and will do nothing
to jeopardize the interests of invest
ors.

SABINE ISLANDS GOES TO LOUISA,

Of the Case.

Washington.-Acting Secretary N

The opinion, which is in the form
of letter to the commissioner of the

that until congress gave Texas per.
mission to extend her boundary to the

Ring experts agree that it was not
even a championship fight. Jeffries
had a chance in the second round, per-
haps, but after the sixth it was plain
that he was weakened and outclassed
in every point, and after the eleventh
round it was hopeless.
1t was the greatest demonstration
the ring has ever seen of the failure
of fighter to come back" after years
of retirement. The youth and sci.
ence of the black man made Jeffries
look like green man. The great
Jeffries was like log. The reviled
Johnson was like a black panther in
his alertness and defensive tactics.
Johnson proved himself so absolute
ly Jeffries' master that experts such as
Corbett, the Australian sporting writ
er and ring expert, said that Tommy
Burns put up a better fight against
Johnson, and that the black man was
only playing with the white man. The
end was swift and terrible. 1t looked
as though Johnson had been holding
himself under cover all the rest Of the
time, and now that he had measured
Jeffries in all his weakness he had de.
termined to stop it quickly.
Jeffries had lost the power Of de-
Tense. A series of right and left upper
cuts, delivered at will, sent him stag.
gering to the ropes.
The fifteenth round started with
clinch after Jeffries had failed to land
on the body. Johnson then tore loose,
and before the spectators were pre-
pared for the finish he had sent JEFF
fries down with lightning-like left and
right blows to the jaw. Jeffries reeled
and fell half way through the ropes
on the west side Of the ring and those
near him saw that he had lost the
sense of his surroundings, and that
the faces of the ringside were a blur
to him. His time had come. He was
feeling what he had caused others to
feel in the days of his youth and pow
er.
Johnson came over to the spot and
stood posed over his adversary, his
body ready for a left hook if Jeffries
regained his feet.
Jim Corbett, who twice had gone
down before Jeffries' blows and who
had stood in Jeffries' corner all dur.
ing this fight, telling Johnson what
a fool he was and how he was in for
the greatest beating of all his life,
ran forward now with outstretched
arms, crying: "Oh, go back, don't hit
him."
Jeffries painfully raised himself to
his feet. His jaws had dropped, his
eyes were nearly shut and his face
was covered with blood. With trem.
bling legs and yielding arms he tried
to put UP a defense. But he could not
stop a terrific right on the jaw, fol-
lowed by two left hooks. He went
down again.
Jeffries' physician and other friends
jumped into the ring
stop 1t" they cried. Don't put
the old fellow out"

TRIUMPH FOR AMERICANS
German Campaign of SANDER Against
the Deutsche Vacuum Oil
Company Fails.

Berlin.-The long and Venomous
campaign waged by German newspa.
pers and rival industrial interests
against one of the German branches
of the Standard Oil cOmpany-ths
Deutsche Vacuum Oil company-has
just been brought to a victorious end
for the Americans involved.
A well-known Hamburg newspaper
for months printed such a series Of
attacks on the American graft meth.
DDS alleged to have been practiced
by the vacuum company in the con.
duct of its German business that the
public prosecutor of Hamburg felt
constrained to make an official inyes.
tigation with a view to eventual in.
dictments. The prosecutor has now
concluded his investigation, especially
of the work of E. L. Quarles, Ameri.
can manager of the German com.
pany's sales department, and an.
nounces that no necessity exists for
pursuing the inquiry further.
No evidence of anything warranting
prosecution was found against Mr..
Quarles, and the costs of the entire in.
quiry will be borne by the state.
The result of the investigation con.
stitutes a notable triumph for Amer.
lean interests in Germany.
1t Is not the first time that Germans
finding themselves unable to compete
with Americans on ordinary terms,
have resorted to SANDER.
