Ruling on Public Weighing.

Austin, Tex, Aug. 25.-Pur-
suant to his opinion of some
weeks ago covering the statutory
regulations Of public and private
weighing in Texas, Assissistant
Attorney General O. G. Funder-
burk has received several inqui-
ries regarding the matter, as a
result of some of which he has
directed an opinion to County
Attorney II. r. Wilson Of Denton,
which corrects some phases of
the earlier advice on the subject.
Judge Funderburk said yes
terday that his earlier opinion
was in conflict with court decis-
ions applying to the statute, and
was based on his belief that the
statute controlling had been
omitted from the revision of 1895
He believed that the courts also
had been under that impression.
But he now writes that the stat
ute in question was transferred
from the civil to the penal revis-
inc in 1895 and was Article ST.
thereof. article 900 of the Re
vised Criminal Statutes Of 1919
The decisions indicate that the
placing of the Revised Penal
Code of 1895 had apparently
been overlooked.
In effect, Judge Funderburk
now advises that after full and
careful consideration of all the
statutes and decisions bearing
the case, | am of the opinion that
the law now provides, with re-
spect to criminal liability, that it
is a misdemeanOr for anyone but
a public weigher in a city having
a public weigher, to weigh cot
ton, wool, sugar or hides, except
in a case where the owner of
such produce weighs the same
in person, and except where the
owner of such produce author
lied in writing his factor, com
liISSiOil lucI ClldlIU w have IL pr
vate weigher TO weigh the same.
In place where there is no pub
lie weigher elected or appointed
it is a misdemeanor for anyone
to weigh for others cotton, wool,
hay or pecans unless he has Civ
en- bond as required by law, eX-
cept in case of merchant flour
ing mills
The former opinion" it states,
contains a misStatement of fact
and announces the wrong con
clusion in so far it was then held
that if authorized in writing by
the owner, anyone not q public
weigher could lawfully weigh
cotton, sugar, wool and hides.
1t is now advised that such au-
thorized can run only from the
owner to his factor, commission
merchant or agent to have pri-
yate weigher weigh the produce.

Waterville, Me, June 4.-Good judg-

rather than by applying the brakes
suddenly was believed by railroad men
to have saved the morning passenger
train to Portland from rolling into the
Kennebec river, today when it was

miles from this city. As it was five
cars left the rails and were tipped at
an angle toward the river at the top
of a steep 30-foot embankment. The
few passengers on board were badly
shaken, but no one was injured.
The rain consisted of a locomotive,
mail car, smoker, coach and two bag
gage cars. There is a long reverse
curve as Vassalboro station is enter

car broke while the train was on this
curve and dragged 100 yards When
the train reached the straight iron in

The road bed was torn un fer 200
yards and traffic was blocked q great
er part of the day. Passengers were

BATTLESHiP ARKANSAS
Meets With Second Accident-One of
the Turbines Give Out.

Rockland, Me, June Am spite of
reef and injured her outer bottom,
while on her way into the harbor,
Sunday afternoon, the new battleship
Arkansas was able to meet all re-
quirements in her speed trials, today.
and was prevented from completing
the days program only by the coming
of darkness.
During the trials the Arkansas met
with second accident, an interior one
which neeessitated the cutting out of
the low pressure turbines. Officials
declared the accident not to be of
serious nature. 1t was explained that
during the course of one of the ships
19-knot run the turbine began to
.'squeal.'' an indication that all is not
right, and immediately tnel engine was
cut out.
Officials on board the Arkansas were
disinclined to talk of the accident of
Sunday when the ship anchored in the
harbor, tonight. They admit ted that the
vessel struck reef. about O'Clock sun
day afternoon, while proceeding at about
IL knots an hour. She struck forward,
uHdCi ttit iilot thBliit IODIti, utHtiii5 tiiN
outer bottom, composed of t.hree-quarter
inch Steel for a distance OF nearly 80
feet and sheearing off scores of rivets.
The vessel listed for a few minutes, but
soon righted herself and she proceeded
to anchor without stopping Dor an exam
nation. 1t was admitted, tonight, that
the pumps were started, but 1t was de-
clared that this was done only to empty
nv
ter, so that an examination might be
made, and not because of any serious
leak.
Unofficial stories, told by members of
the crew and others who were aboard
at the time the Arkansas struck, differ
considerably. 1t is declared by many
that the vessel is leaking badly and that
the pumps are being worked constantly
to keep the compartment clear of water,
1t is admitted by all that had the
injury to the hull been little high
er up the accident would have been of
a very much more serious nature
The reef ON which the ship struck is
said by fishermen to be about q feet
under water at low tide. The Arkan-
sas draws 2S1g feet but at the time of
the accident the tide was well up.
Officials exonerate the pilot, Capt.
Charles A. Blair of Bath, who was in
charge at the time, of all blame as
the reef is uncliarted and unpro-
tected.
officials stated: tonight. that the
battleship would during the course of
events go into dry docks before be-
Ing turned over to the government
but that the accident of Sunday would
not, in all probabilities. hasten the
docking of her.

the plaything of a demented ambition,
which would use the organism of that
party, as he now openly evows, to
destroy those principles established by
the adoption of the constitution and
reaffirmed by the action of the Ro-
chester convention.
Mr.. Roosevelt is clever politician
and usually has been able to conceal
his sub-conscious mind, but in the
statement which he issued, yesterday,
he has clearly portrayed that his ul-
innate purpose is the subversion of
our government. That has been clear
to me for years through an ultimate
knowledge and study OF his basic
character. 1t chafes at all restrie
tions and under the stress of this
conflict has openly betrayed its Sc
cret recesses. wherein are nurtured
passionate ambitions to use apparent
popular favor for the destruction of
the constitution, an impeachment to
the realization of those ambitions. His
candidacy represents as he himself
has now declared, simply an attack
on the constitution of the United
States, the sweeping away of its safe
guards of individual liberty and the
establishment i'm its stead of despo
tism, which, for his purposes, he is
now pleased to call the rule Of the
people, +"

lowed a sensational series of con-
LESSONS" by other members of the
Legislature. These confessions, how
ever, were later modified or repudiat-
ed. with the exception of Whites.
Phe other men said they had received
the money out of a fund and not in
return for their Lorimer votes and in
some cases charged intimidation by
Cook county authorities to wiring the
confessions from them. Browne. who
was charged with distributing Lori
mer money was acquitted by q jury
and other indictments We're quashed.
Charges of jury bribing in the Browne
case were unsustained in court. A
committee of the United States Senate
reported that the charges of corrup-
ton were not proved and held Sem
ator Lorimer's title to his seat valid.
Immediately the Illinois Senate APP
pointed a committee of its town which
reported that Lorimer would not have
teen elected without bribery and the
Illinois Senate by vote of 80 to 10
endorsed that view.
In the meantime. after a series of
notable debates in the United States
Senate, Mr.. Lorimer was indicated
there to 40, with five senators not
voting. The quota of senators then
was ~ and there was one vacancy
in Colorado.
Since then, by the admission of
New Mexico and Arizona, the quota
of senators has Increased to 90, but
the Colorado vacancy still exists and
there are 95 men to vote on the ease
this time. But of the As who voted to
retain Mr.. Lorimer II are not now in
the Senate and four of the five who
refrained from voting. are also no
longer members. The ranks of the
forty who voted against Lorimer have
been depleted by only five and these
places have been taken by men who
seem 10 have indicated that they will
follow the views of their predecessors.
Senator Curtis of Kansas who voted
for Mr. Lorimer before. is said to be
ready to vote against him this time,
but this is counterbalanced by Sena-
tor Jones of Washington, who voted
against MIR. Lorimef but will vote for
him this time.
This alignment seems to throws the
balance of power mainly with the new
senators and there has been a great
deal of speculation.
The second investigation brought
out the charge that Edward Hines,
the millionaire lumber man. had rails
ed fund of 100000 to put Lorimer
over" but the majority of the inves-
tigating committee rejected this en-
tir4ly and exonerated Hines as we'll
as Lormer. The senator's election,
the ma iority report holds, was due
entirely TO political conditions in Hi
nois, which made Mr.. Lorimer the
only candidate who could muster a
majority.

Lord Mersey expressed the opinion
that if 40 men had been on the look
out they could not have seen the ice
berg in time to avoid collision and
glasses would not have helped them.
Mr.. Ismay said he thought that the
Titanic was unsuitable. The attor-
ney for Seamen's Union was examin-

interrupted again and said that the
witness was not responsible for run

Lord Mersey: @That is not a ques-
ton that should have been asked. You
may make that remark in your
speech but do not ask the question"
Attorney: Why did YOU not try to
get other people on deck?"

were sending them up"

point is that he should have remained
on the ship until she went to the bot
tom; there is no answer to that"
