ing the governors speech the house
unanimously adopted thu following
resolution introduced by Mr.. Robert
son of Travis
Whereas, 1t being true, as recited
in that section of the bill reforming
the penitentiary system, which pro-
vides that the act shall not take eff
feet until Jan. 20, 1911, that the terms
of office of the superintendent, assist
ant superintendent and financial agent
will not expire until about the goth Of
January next; that the system Is a
large and cumbersome business prop

required in which to prepare for these
changes in the system contemplated
by said act, and that the crops grown
for this year are now being harvest
ed, and the harvesting thereof will
not be completed until January next,
the house determined to accede to the
demands of the senate that the bill
should not take effect until the time
mentioned; but, according to this
proposition, the house did not intend
thereby to imply any want of con-
iidence in the integrity or ability OF
the present governor of this state, or
any want of confidence in his power,
purpose or intention to appoint cap
able, faithful and efficient officers to
carry out the provisions of the bill;
Therefore, be it resolved That
Governor T. M, Campbell has the UNI
qualified confidence of the legislature,
that his administration covering the
past three and half years has been
wise, unselfish and patriotic; that he
has secured the enactment into law

Many years ago, in consequence of
a commercial panic, there was a severe
run on bank In South Wales, and
the small farmers jostled each other
in crowds to draw out their money.
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse, when the bank manager, in
o fit of desperation, suddenly be-
thought him Of an expedient. By his
directions a clerk, having heated some
sovereigns In frying-pan, paid them
over the counter to an anxious appli-

Governors Talk to Legislature.
Austin, Tex.-In response to an in.
yitation extended Thursday by the
house of representatlv ives, Governor
Campbell Friday addressed the two
branches of the legislature assembled
in the chamber of the house. The Ut.
terances of the governor were receiv-
ed with enthusiasm, the speech being
interrupted at frequent intervals by
applause. When the governor enter.
ed the chamber, escorted by members
of the house, and when he arose to
speak, after having been presented
by Speaker Marshall, the applause
was hearty.
Seated on the platform with the
governor were Speaker Marshall and
Lieutenant Governor Davidson. The
address of the governor deviated in
several essential particulars from the
manuscript he had prepared, and as
he proceeded he spoke with earnest
ness not to be bound by the printed
page. What he said was largely q
rehearsal of the events of his admin
istration for which he thanked the
members of the legislature who have
agreed with his policies.
Before coming directly to the con
tents of his prepared address, the gov
ernor expressed the hope that the
submission of the prohibition nnea

Austin, Textile fourth called SEES
sion of the thirty-first legislature
passed into history Saturday and few
regrets were heard The penitentiary
bill was duly signed and now rests
with the governor, who has twenty
days within which to approve or veto
1t.
Outside of the Formally OF signing
the prison reform bill there was moth
ing to signalize today's session.
At 1917, real time, but 9:52 SEN
ate time, the honored custom of turn
ding back the hands of the clock hav-
ing been resorted to, the senate ad-
journed finally.
The penitentiary bill was signed by
the lieutenant governor at $3.50, SEN
ate time. Senator Weinert stood
proudly by as the lieutenant COVER
nor signed the bill, and wnen the
operation was complete secured the
pen as a trophy.
The usual routine resolution with
which 1t has been long customary to
close all legislative sessions
perfunctory action and at best a
scant compliment, was conspicuous

ness, doesn't regard with great favor

reports of the proceedings of this SEES

Chairman Sears invoked a divine
blessing and the senate adjourned sine

Governor Compliments House.
A few simple formalities over the
house of representatives was declar-
ed adjourned sine die at 1915 O'Clock
this morning. The house clock had
been turned back to conform to the
time of the senate clock, trivial con
cession which only reminds of great
err concessions made to the upper
body during the past session by the
lower house for the sake of harmony

"The governor extends his compli

new BAT rule
HAS Been MADE

The American association magnates
have quieted down since the Chicago
meeting, at which time Joe OBrien
was deposed from the presidency to
make room for T. M. Chivington, form
er general manager of the Louisville
club There were threa-s from some
quarters following the NEE ling and a
few predictions were made that fac
tional fight would be inaugurated, but
so far there has been no sign of a
fight OF any Find and the chances are
there Wal not be any squabble.
Former President O'Brien has taken
his defeat philosophically and is as
sisting his successor in getting a line
on his system of keeping che recor5.
books etc. But despite outward APP
pearances Joe O'Brien feels his de-
feat keerly. Joe has said thai he would
not have given a thought to 1t has he
not labored hard TO give the associa-
ton he best possible administration
He was the victim of circumsta.. ces
and had to pay the part of the goat
1t is almost certain that no one or two
OF the rules interpreted by President
O'Bricn for the American association
will be wiped out by the new presi-
dent, T. M. Chivington, especially the
rules relating to the throwing OF the
bat. G'Brien rules that where bat
ter threw his bat when a runner was
going to second from first base the
batter should be out. no matter wheth
er the bat was tzrown Intentionally o.
not. The chances are that Chivington
will simply let the umpires use their
own judgmen. In such matters and
follow the rules.

WOULD COUNT BASES
and NOT The RUNS

Many new systems for scoring base
ball games have been from time Ia
time presented for the consideration OF
the rule makers. While some OF them
have had more features, the authorities
are inclined to stick to the old system
with slight changes.
Louis r. Gemmett Of st. Paul. MINI.
who calls himself the Inventor OF real
ity baseball" is the latest in the field
with a new system. II is the most rad
ical change yet suggested. Mr.. Gem
mett's idea is that the number OF bases
made by a team should be counted In
stead Of the number Of runs. In a
communication TO the New York World
he says:
THE following is the way to keep
official score in reality baseball: Each
base will count a base. Four bases 70
the score. The side that makes the
most bases a. the end of the game wins
Allow credit when due. Out on first
base, no base made. Out on second base
one base that will count. Out on third
base, two bases will count. Out on
home base, three bases will count
Makes IT intelligent. All around, one
full score will count, for which they
will receive credit on the score board
Left on bases, it win all count according
to the base the players is left on. All
bases will count after they are made
on the score hoard.
The old system: How four bases
can beat 1Os in nine innings. On one
side the first man to bat makes first
base, second, third, put out on home;
second man the same, I'LL the bases.
Third man strikes out You will find
twelve bases made. Nine innings is the
game. Nine times twelve is 1OS. On the
other side one man makes first, second,
third and home, four bases, and they
should beat los bases. In the new sys-
tenn the side that makes the most bases
in nine innings wins the game. -Four
bases is regarded the same as a full
score. Two halves is a full score in
reality baseball. Each base counts a
base"

No. s. A good point I'm one way, but

sideration by the big guns OF the

Gotch, Who Ought to Know,
Says Jeffries VIII Enter Ring
In Condition to Smother Smoke

1t is time for some one to say some
thing about this matter. Now, the
doctors say that the big fellow has fat
around his heart and other organs. 1
am no doctor and l cannot deny this,
but / do know that his lungs are not
affected. A lot of people are prone to
believe that his wind is bad because he
puffs after his workouts with his show.
This is not a fair criterion, because
while he is jumping from town to
town, living on cars most of the time,
he is not able to train for his wind.
There is only one thing that will give
an athlete endurance, and that Is a
long siege of road work.
.Jeff,s Breathing Not Injured.
Every one knows that l take good
care of myself, and am free to con-
fess that am about all in after a
fifteen minutes stunt on the mat. Wait
till JEFF gets into his training camp
and does a few stunts In the mountains
and you will see how good his wind is.
He with have plenty of breathing ca
pacity, because / know his lungs have
not been hurt during his absence from
the ring. All he needs is penty Of
good, hard work, and he will go into
the ring in fine fettle. The other day
we wrestled for a half hour and he
finished fully as strong as l did. OF
course, he is not a finished grappler,
but he gave me a hard battle was
forced to use the Graceo- Roman style
of wrestling, because he did not want
me to work on his legs. In the thirty
minutes that we were tussling l was
able to pin him down but once. This
should show how great is his strength,
because he knows little of the wrestling
game.
Those who have been doubling JEFF
fries sincerity should travel with him
for while. They soon would become
believers in him. When l started out
with the Frazee show l was not a great
admirer of Jeffries. In fact, was one
of the doubters, but / have grown to
see that he is honest and that he is
working as hard as any man could to
get into shape.
jeff Living Clean Life.
/ have left the columns of the doubt
ers to be one of his staunchest sup
porters, and the main reason for the
living He is following the straight
and narrow path, and If he is beaten
it will not be because he has dissi-
pated while preparing for the fight In
the eight weeks that have been with
him have not seen him take single
drink, and | think am safe in saying
no liquor has passed his lips in that
time.
Another great point in favor of JEFF
fries is his determination If ever
man had a set purpose that man is
Jeff, and the purpose is to defeat John
son. While he is going to fight for one
of the greatest sums a fighter ever
commanded, / really believe the pleas
ure of defeating Johnson would be a
greater reward for him than all the
money in the world. He would not
stall for a second in order to enhance
his profits from The pictures of the
bout. or for any other reason, and when
the fight comes off my opinion on this
matter will be proved true.

A TRIBUTE TO MILLER

Recognizing q large per cent Of
wrestling as the greatest bunco game
on the Market sporting writer for
the st. Paul Dispatch, pays Walter
Miller rhe following tribute, placing
him in an honest class:
Sometimes the patient man IL in
clined to ask: Does it pay to be hon
est?
/ am glad that Walter Miller does
not and never will ask that question.
He knows. He has made IL pay for
himself. He has made it pay for those
who have known him and admired him
The thing that makes honesty pay is
the man who IL honest.
That is why this little, uneducated
boy, speaking broken English. without
advantage of birth, position, or infiu-
ence, Is the associate of men OF culture
and refinement, doctors, lawyers, pro-
fessional men. There is no thing that
so levels the differences and distinc-
tons of life as sheer honesty and hon.
est modesty.
He kept his promise last night. as he
has always kept his promise. He may
