on the other hand we have been
taught to play football according to
the rules and to play hard ball"
Signed: c. Holm, G. W. Barnes.
]. w. Kidd, faculty member of the
athletic council, also makes the fol-
lowing statement: Il have been on
the football field during practice q
first two years that Mr.. Moran was
employed as a coach, and during the
past season | was on the field almos;
every practice up to the time of the
/ Houston game. During all this time
have never seen nor heard Moran
instruct a man to play dirty ball, or
| to tell him to Go so at any time o,
under any conditions" Signed: ]. w.
Kidd, Faculty Member of Athletic
Council
( It is a noticeable fact that since
Moran has been coaching at The Texas
A. & NJ. only two men have ever been
/ accused by the officials of playing
dirty ball. One of these was Captain
Holm. whom the University of Texas
players lauded as playing clean, gen
tlemanly game.
In answer to No. 8, the athletic
Ic0uncil finds that every player on the
Texas A. & NJ. team brands it as 4
faleshood.
In addition to the above we offer
the following statement from Lieuten-
ant Baehr, who has officiated in the
following games for us this year:
Auburn, Mississippi, Texas and
Bavlor:
81 consider the playing of the A &,
M. football team in the four games in
which | have officiated to have been
hard and clean throughout The Hous-
ton game was hard fought, but there
was nothing in the PLAYING of either
team other than the strong and az
gressive work which good football de-
mands." Signed: L. A. Baehr.
The Athletic Council of the Texas
Agricultural and Mechanical College
Issues the above statement so that the
people of Texas and the ADJOINING
states may know the true situation o.
the athletics at the Texas Agricul
tural and Mechanical College. We feel
that with the above facts before tnt
people, We can risk their judgment as

Crane Juice As A Man Winner

There is something in social
glass that appeals to us all. To
make a call on one of these hot
evenings and have the hostess
bring out a dainty glass of grape
juice is indeed a pleasure. Ii she
is up on the social usuages, it will
be the grape. The bruised fruit
has held first place as refreshing
drink since Cleopatra bewitched
Ceasar and the girl who makes the
hit Of the season serves the man
OF the hour with one Of those
Glace' Ambrosias. To know just
how to make one of these drinks
is an art that no man can afford
to neglect.

GEORGE W. VENNER,
AGED CITIZEN, DEAD.

Yesterday morning George w.
Venner, one of the oldest men in
this city, died at his room in the
White Elephant, after lingering
illness. He had been growing
feeble for several years, but grew
rapidly worse within the last few
days and his death yesterday was
surprise to his friends. His
son, New York banker, arrived
Thursday, but the sick man was
unable to recognize him. Mr.,
Venner came to this city from
Boston about twenty-five years
ago and became interested in the
lumber business and operated saw
mills all over this section. He was
a great character and will be re-
membered by many of our citizens
for the vehement manner that
characterized his arguments upon
political questions in days agone.
He seemed to live apart from
his family and seldom visited his
old home. He was bordering on
90 years of age and was one of |
the charter members of the first |
Royal Arcanum Council organic
ed in Boston in 1877.
The remains were taken to
Boston yesterday on No. AZ by
his son.

IN WHlSKEY
SELLING CASES
SUMMARY ACTION BY JUDGE
Plain Evidence Requiring Indict-
ments Pleced Before the Grand
Jury-Jury is Dismissed

Chattanooga, January 27.-Five
members of the Hamilton county
grand jury were discharged this
morning by Judge S. d. Mercy
nolds, for failure to vote indictments
in cases of alleged whisky sales
where, as Attorney-General Whit
aker stated to the court, plain evi-
dence requiring indictments was
placed before them.
This sensational turn of affairs
came Immediately following the
final report of the grand jury,
coupled with the recommendation of
the attorney general that the grand
jury be instructed again, or else that
he be given an inquisitorial body
that would act on evidence placed
before it. The discharge of certain
of the jurymen has been somewhat
expected for a time in the event in
dictments were not returned in GER
tain whisky cases before them.

GOV. HOOPER'S
APPOINTMENT
BILL FOR OLD SOLDIERS
First Measure Presented to Gov
ernor for His Official Approval
Approved by Senate.

Nashville, Jan. 27.-Senate bill
No. 1 was passed by the house this
morning, being the first general
measure so far passed by both
houses. The bill carries an appro-
priation of $2.o86 to pay debt on
the Soldiers Home and to increase
the per capita allowance therefrom
$3.50 to $I75. The first measure,
therefore, to go to Governor Hooper
for his signature will be one for old
confederates. 1t is noteworthy since
during the recent campaign effort
was made to line up the old soldiers
against him, because of his alleged
unfriendly attitude toward the old
soldiers when in the legislature years
ago.
Gov. Hooper's first communica-
ton to the legislature was in the ma
ture of notification to the senate
of his appointment of Capt. Frank
Maloney, of Knoxville, as adjutant
general. The appointment was
unanimously confirmed.
In the senate there was an ex-
tended discussion of the bill prohib-
iting decling in futures, Senators
Brooks taking the lead for it. The
bill was recommitted.
Among the nineteen new bills i'll
troduced today was one providing
for the compensation OF special
judges.
In the senate, bill was offered
making women twenty-one years OF
age and over eligible for the Office of
notary public, and bill prohibiting
the appointment by chancellors Of
sons of kinsmen within the sixth de-
gree as clerks and masters or re-
ceivers.
The report of the rules in the
house recommending that majority
instead OF two. thirds can call the
previous question. Messrs. Worley
and Peryear led the fight against it,
and it was defeated. The change
was revolutionary and would cut of
debate at any time absolutely. The
rules Of the last house were adopted
practically without change.
