Letter from Austin.

came in direct contact with the
indignant blasts of an outraged
public over the Special Session
of the Legislature. The author
lied custodians Of Texas Democ=-
racy, in convention assembled,
opered q vial Of wrath and poured
it over the administration by
condemning the extra sessions
of the Legislature except for ex-
traordinary causes; assuring just
and equitable treatment to capir
tai; demanding that the Legls-
lature dispose of the Fire Rating
Insurance matter and adjourn
and wound up by oongratulating
themselves that no scandals had
marked the administration of af-
fairs in Texas IL is the Cover
nor's next move. The defenders
of the administration contend
that the Governor possesses his
share of the cardinal virtues and
that one of them is consistency,
Fulfilling platform demands, re-
gardless of what they are, has
always been bobby Of the Gov
ernor's and he has taken as much
personal pride in counting each
platform demand snatched into
law as a small boy would in keep
ing tab on his marbles. The
friends of the Governor claim
that he can take medicine and
like King Saul, he will now fall
upon his sword and expire.
However, the Governor has the
reputation of being a past master
in the art of polictics and it is
known that peace disturbs his
mind. Those that WELD the
scepter seldom bend the knee
and politicians throughout the
state are taking their positions
on the house top to watch the
pyretechnics ascend from Capitol
Hill. Our crop Of political dis
turbances probably exceed that
of any other staple article in
Texas and it is one the boil
weevil refuses to attack.
rne senate showed q dispose
tion to acquisce to the platform
demand which now comes to the
Legislature fresh from the peo-
pie, hut the House rebelled. Af=
ter all, the sacredness of d plat
form demand depends upon how
you like it and it is pretty certain
that the administration does not
like this one. The present ses-
sion expires by constitutional
limitation next Wednesday Aug
ust 18th and the Governor is the
only man who knows whether or
not there will be smother called
session.
The Fire Rating Insurance
BOARD bills have at last emerged
from the Committee rooms and
are now occupying the attention
of both Houses, but amendments
have been tackled on to them like
penny ornaments on Christmas
tree and the scientists are wrang-
ling over the sort of experiments
we should next undertake.
The Senate slaughtered the
liquor bills as fast as they were
driven out of the Committee
room and other liquor bills will
likely go the way of their an
cestors, as the ants have full
control Of the Senate and they
are standing together.
The grim monster, Death, en-
tered the Senate Chamber and
laid hands upon Senator 9, G,
Stokes of the 18th District. The
death of the Senator cast a gloom

MOVES TO DISMISS JURY
COLORED LAWYER RAISES CON-
STITUTIONAL QUESTION.
Indignation Expressed on Grounds
That His Race Is Not Given
Proper Consideration.

Colored lawyers here are indignant be-
cause their race is not given more rep
resentation on the juries drawn for duty
In the Police Court. The question was
raised in the District branch Of the court
this morning by John w Patterson, a
lawyer defending Sadie Gravers, q colored
a license. Mr.. Patterson moved to dis
miss the jury which had been drawn In
this case, giving In his motion constitu-
donal grounds for 50 doing, and also as
sorting that the jury had not been drawn
by the clerk of the jury commission, but
by the deputy clerk.
Mr.. Patterson intimated that there was
something decidedly wrong with the
drawing of the jEsies for the Police
Court.
There are never more than two colored
men drawn on a jury for this court
said Mr.. Patterson, land in the present
case there is only one
Court Overrules Motion.
Judge Mullowny overruled the mo-
ton. Mr. Patterson noted an exception
and Will take an appeal to the Court of
Apeals. In his argument he assailed the
District code because it delegates to the
jury commission legislative authority, al
lowing the commission to say in what
manner the jury shall be drawn He says
the entire jury system. SO far as its &C.
lection is concerned. is placed under the
power and control of the administrative
department Of the government, ignoring
the rights of the judicial part of the
government.
leo <1a,ln
Young, the clerk of the jury commission
was designated by the code to draw the
names or the jurors from the jury box,
but that he left this to his deputy, VIII
liams, and that therefore the jury was
not properly drawn. Judge Mullowny
also overruled this point.
Another Point Overruled.
One of the witnesses in the case OF
Sadie drawers lives outside the District.
Mr.. Patterson said he had used every
effort to get this witness here for the
trial, but had not succeeded. He asked
for continuance until this witness could
be reached. Judge Mullowny also over
ruled this request. The judge said, how
ever, that he would be glad to have Mr..
Patterson bring up the point as to wheth-
er the Police Court had the right to
subpoena witnesses who lived outside the
District limits. He said the jurisdiction
of the District Police Court was much
wider than that OF police courts IN otuer
places; that more important cases were
rrleG before 1t and that he thought the
court should be allowed to subpoena the
witnesses II desired.
TINS point will also be taken to the
Court of Appeals by Mr.. Patterson.
The trial OF the GraVers case was be-
gun.

BENEFIT Of CLERKS
Action Probable by Congress
on Retirement Plan.
FIRST STEP IN THE SENATE
Committee on Civil Service, Through
Chairman Cummins, Calls for
Information on Subject.
FIRST STEP IN THE SENATE

Action by Congress at this session IT
the direction of providing system OF
retirement for employees of the civil serv'
ice is regarded as highly probable. In
terest in the subject is growing daily. anc
the proposition is findingsnew and inf1u'
entail friends in both houses of Congress
A step toward practical action was
taken by the Senate today, when il
adopted a resolution from the committee
on civil service directing the furnishing
of information to guide the committee.
Senator Cummins reported the resolution
and by unanimous consent it was adopt
ed. providing as follows:
THAT the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor be directed to furnish to the Sen
ate as soon as practicable such informa-
ton as may now be in the possession OF
the bureau of labor on the subject of for
eign and domestic retirement plans fol-
the retirement of employees in government
civil service and in the service of indus
trial and transportation corporations"
Comment by Senator Cummins.
In an interview with a Star reporter
after the adoption of the resolution Sena-
tor Cummins said:
The committee is deeply Interested,
and so am L. in the subject of improving
the departmental service. The committee
will take up not only questions of pro-
motion of government clerks. but the
proposed retirement of superannuated
employees.
lit Is perfectly evident that either we
must abandon the present system of in
definite tenure of Office of government
employees or we must devise some system
of retiring those of long service who may
become inca pacitated by age and physical
disability attendant upon their long sery-
Ice.
"Inasmuch as there seems to be very
general approval OF the system of in
definite tenure, We must, in order to
make the service efficient, provide a SyS-
tenn of retirement, by which the men and
women who have grown old and inca
FACILITATED can give up their places with
out facing the poor house.
Promotions to Be Considered.
THE question Of promotions in the
departments should also receive atten-
ton. Promotions should be made solely
upon merit, as appointments are now
made. The committee intends to go into
both questions very completely, and the
resolution adopted today is the first step
in that direction.
The committee will give hearings to
persons interested, and there will be
joint hearing by the House and Senate
committees of committee OF the COM
ing convention of the National Civil Serv-
ice Retiring Association"
