A SEVERE CASTIGATION FOR
NEGLIGENCE.

With freezing Temperature five
nights in succession almost to the
coast there is little ground for hone
that anything killable by frost has
escaped destruction, unless it was pro
tected in some way, and the amount Of
protection in the east half of Texas ia
so small that it is not worth consider.
Ing. That fruits and vegetables worth
many thousands have been DESTROYED
is certain. 1t is equally certain that
1.-THE OF thel oss, if expended judicious
~ in providing protection from the
cold, would have saved practically all
the property destroyed. Nowhere in
Texas, excepting the Panhandle. has
the cold been more than a few degrees
below the freezing point. A few
orchard heaters, or smudge pots, to
the acre would have taken the edge off
Jack Frost's broad sword.
The farmers of the older sections
have made considerable improvement
by diversifying and adopting i'm
proved methods, but in the important
particular of protecting their crops
from frost they are away behind those
of the Southwest. In the two weeks
preceding February Is one agent of
frost prevention" company sold Co.
600 orchard heaters in the citrus belt.
After seeing the fire pots tested the
farmers around Kingsville, Falfurrias.

castigation from which Central and
East Texas farmers are now suffering
will not be in vain.

station will provide quick service be,
York City, st. Louis and New Orleans
My agreement is to install 35-kilo-
watt station here, one at New Or
leans, st. Louis and New York. In adj
dition to these high powered stations
we must have not less than twenty in
Texas capable of giving good service
to Houston. This means more to the
business men of this city than almost
anything else, and | feel rather proud
of having negotiated such an impor-
tant deal. The manufacturers COM
mittee realized what this would be
worth to Houston and they accepted
my proposition. We only ask for a
square deal and the business men of
Houston demand the same in return
In his address at the business mems
banquet January "a, Mr.. Dickinson
said that one of the stations of his
company would be located in Bryan.
1t has since been announced that one
would also be located at A. G NJ. col
lege.
The great and essential advantages
that will accrue to Bryan from acquir-
ing this wonderful new service can
scarcely be overestimated. On this
point Mr. Dickinson said:
"The company | am financing is not
alarmed, and if rates are cut one-half
by wire companies we can make
money by meeting them. We could
even go them one better and then
earn more clear money than they make
at present Wireless ignores all such
threats. We are using Gods laws an6
you know this puts us above all other
means of communication. Wireless
will ultimately force wire companies
to a much lower rate and the public
will make this possible. The wire sys
TENS are wonderful institutions and
have been powerful factors for good ::
yet | believe wireless will prove still
more valuable to humanity as it de
velops. No power on earth can stop
wireless. Wire companies NAV kick,
all they please and reduce rates to E
much lower level, still it will not in,
Jure wireless. 1t is based upon a great
scientific truth and can not be crushed
out by the so-called wire trust"

There was lively scrap on the floor
of the national house yesterday, in
which fisticuffs, epithets and impreca-

cipals were the delegate from, Alaska,
who resented being called liar by a

EASTERN MARKET IS
SIMPLY TIRED OUT

noon
Paine. Webber & Co, Letter. Boston
Lake Copper was the weakest specially
among the coppers today: little long
few stop orders IN force and reacted
quickly TO 80. whore few buying orders
were enough to check 1t More demand
developed toward the close and the stock
rallied slightly. Three hundred shares
OF Shannon sold at TO- With several hun
dred more wanted. The market has no
fected by tired selling from holders whose
patience is exhausted.
Logan & Bryan Stock Letter, New
York-Were il not for the reconvening
OF the supreme court and congress dur
ing next week the action OF the stock
market today would have warranted the
assumption of rather firm stand on the
buying side. but. of course, In view OF
the approaching uncertainty. ii is advis-
able to exercise conservatism The most
favorable feature was. the buying OF
broad scale, which served to impart
considerable degree OF confidence In
the interests arrayed on the. construc-
tive side. 1t was apparent during the
FIRST hour that the selling movement
which characterized the trading yester-
day had temporarily run Its course, and
the relative lack OF pressure made IL
somewhat easy TO rally prices. The de-
cision rendered yesterday IN the Okla
h0ma fare rate case was the subject OF
favorable comment. and inasmuch as
the same court Is sitting in the Union
Pacific merger suit the deduction was
made that the railroads contentious
were not to be considered as entirely
without merit but admittedly the basis
for such a view is flmsy. We would
adhere to the policy OF accepting mod
crate profits and having commitments
we'll protected in anticipation of sharp
fluctuations next week.
The New York Sun says: The discov-
erv that the market following made this
morning that ii had misunderstood yes
terday's decision In the. Oklahoma rate
cases and that the decision was really
favorable instead of adverse to the rail-
roads In that II enjoined 2-cent fare
law and lower freight tariffs was not
reelected In stock market Improvement
This suggests that the selling movement
late yesterday afternoon was hardly
ba sed on the garbled report OF the court
ruling which was received. The stock
market became animated at the begin
ming OF the last half hour and prices
hardened all around the room The Erie
issues were the leading feature. but

stocks were very strong.

STILL COMMENTING ON
UNITED METALS PURCHASE

The east still continues to speculate
upon the purchase of the United Metals
Selling company by the Amalgamated
Copper interests. The objection that the
United Metals company had little TO sell
was answered by the statement that the
company held the control of the Interna
tional Smelling and Refining company
and that IT held large contracts for The
sale OF copper.
1t is now said that the Amalgamated
succeeded in securing the successful con-
summation OF the deal by the threat to
not renew the selling contract which the
United Metals held for the sale OF the
Amaleamated copper output, which con-
tract was soon to expire. The United
Metals company. therefore, had TO sell
or lose this business.
Whatever the facts were, il is a. pretty
safe guess that the United Metals COM
pany had something the Amalgama ted
needed to complete the proportions OF its
harmonious whole. 1t was merely move
In a bigger game than the world appreci-
ates is on and the deal went through
simply because it was so ordained,
