10 Educafe IndIans.

Representative Fuller has a rather
unusual proposition on his hands. It
is whether or not there is any con-
StitutiOnal inhibition to the state max
ing an appropriation TO maintain a
school to teach indian children. A lit
tie less than Zoe years ago there was
a tribe OF indians known as Alabama
indians, consisting Of probably 1000.
which settled in Polk county, about IS
the descendants Of these indians are
there still, there being now a little
over 200. Mr. Fuller says they are a
thrifty set and none OF them have ever
inteTmarried and they are aborigines
to all intents and purposes. Most Of
them are farmers and have their own
land and do not mix with the white
people Of the county. They have re
fused to accept the offer Of the fed
eral government to 90 on the india-
reservation. The state does not make
any APPROXIMATION for educating the
children and the only education they
get is in a small school conducted by
the past ten years. This school is
maintained by one of the churches Of
the state. The superintendent Of
schools in Polk county asked Mr.. Full
Ter if it would be possible to have an
appropriation made to pay for the ser
vices Of a teacher and the mainten-
ance of a school Mr.. Fuller said he
will make an effort to have an apprO-
priation Of s60e or 500 made.
Senate at Work.
Despite the fact that this is Wash
inEtOns birthday anniversary, a legal
holiday, the senate worked as usual
Senator Latimer had passed to engrOss-
ment his bill to prohibit the sale Of in
tOTicating liquors in any place except
in a legally licensed saloon The effect
Of this measure is to prohibit the sale
Of intoxicants at all social clubs. lodges,
etc.
Local Option on Pool Halls.
The senate also engrOssed the bill by
senator Johnson, known as the local
option pool hall bill which leaves to q
vote Of the people Of the precinct or
county whether or not there shall be
pool halls. It also engrOssed the bill
by Hudspeth and Johnson permitting
the patenting Of school land in one
sixteenth Of sections and multiples
thereof
Senator Wiley introduced a bill pro-
viding for the construction of a cause
way over the Nueces river at Corpus
Christi bay, connecting Corpus Christi
with Portland, in San Patrico county.
To Audit County Accounts.
Senator Latimer introduced a bill
providing for the auditing Of claims and
accounts Of county officials by the
controllers department. This bill was
inspired by a recent decision OF the su-
preme court that such accounts could
not by audited by the controller.

Hog Quarantine.

Representative Walker, OF Dallam
county, would have a quarantine line
esta blished against infected hogs, the
same as now obtains against cattle.
With this end in view he has pre-
pared a bill providing for the estab-
lishment Of a quarantine line across
the state identical with that now pre-
scribed bv law for the prevention Of
Texas fever in cattle. His bill pro-
Tides that it shall be unlawful for any
person, firm or corporation to ship
hogs for feeding purposes north and
west of the quarantine line now es-
tablished for cattle, without having
obtained a certificate OF health from
the livestock sanitary commission.

TEXAS PLANS TO
TEACH INDIANS
CONTINUED from previous pageJ.

The age is raised to 16 years IN certain
occupations where there is an element
Of hazard. The bill also provides that
no boy under u years Of age and no
girl under 16, in any CITY Of more than
$4,000 population, shall be permitted to
sell newspapers.
To Consolidate Colleges.
Instead Of the proposition to divorce
the agricultural and mechanical col
lege from the University of Texas,
there is a plan on foot which has orig
mated in the senate, providing for the
consolidation Of these two Institution
Of learning into one. It is true, the
governor suggested such a plan in his
message on education, but apparently
little attention was paid to the sig
nificance Of the suggestion. The re-
cent trouble at the A. and NJ. college
has resulted in this sentiment being
crystalized. There IS now pending IN
the legislature a joint resolution sub
hitting an amendment to the cOnstitu-
ton providing for the enforcement Of
these two institutions and providing
also for the levying Of a special tax
for their maintenance. When this resO-
luton comes up for consideration in
the senate an amendment is likely to
be offered TO strike out the word
enforcement and insert in lieu there
Of the word Consolidation" It is
pointed out that the two Institutions
merged into one could be more eco
nOmically managed
