Especial Staf Correspondent.)

AUSTIN, Texas, April AT the con
clusion today of the quarterly confer
ence of the state bank examiners with
the state commissioner of banking,
assignments of the examiners were an
nounced. c. +. GOOdenOugh who has
been special examiner was assigned to
the Brownsville district, taking the
place of John S. Wightman, who was
named for the Houston district.
The governor has advised j. A. Fer
nandez, Mexican consul at San Antonio,
that the state is pOwerless to aid in the
enforcement of the neutrality laws; that
while the state is willing to cooperate
with the federal government, the latter
has not as yet indicated it's desires in
that direction. This was in reply to an
appeal from Fernandez asking for aid
and advising that many violations of
the neutrality laws were being made
along the border in the vicinity of
Brownsville, Eagle Pass, Laredo and
other points.
The governor today signed large
batch of bills, included among them be-

The governor also vetoed the bill in
which county commissioners were given
authority to create an Indebtedness not
in excess of of $4,000 for repairing iails
or court houses without submitting the
question to a vote of the people. The
governor declared that while this law
would prove beneficial to the smaller
counties it would work hardship on
the larger counties.

CITY, HURTYS PLAN
(Continued from Page One.)

Increased the salary Of the health COM
missioner from $500 to $1,5GO a year it
could not afford to appropriate $500
for a deputy, this $500, or an even
larger sum, could be rsjsed among
public spirited citizens.
Il cannot think of aFw way a city
could spend $4,000 yssr to better ad-
vantage, for there wOMld be a great
saving in human lives, as a result,
and Richmond would be one of the
healthiest and cleanest communities in
the state.
Especially trained men who shall de-
vote all their time to performing the
duties Of the health commissioners
are advocated in the annual report of
the state board of health to Governor
Ralston, of which City Health Officer
Davis is President.
Trained Men Needed.
Under the present law, the report
states. the health officer must make
his living as practicing physician
and at the same time perform the du-
ties of his office. For this reason the
board advocates changes in the law
which will allow cities to pay trained
men sufficient salaries to permit them
to devote all their time to the work Of
the health department.
DR.. Davis says the board hoped that
the next legislature will amend the
health laws Of the state SO as to pro-
vide that cites can employ trained
sanitarians at an ample salary
In the boards report 1t is also charg-
ed that many parents are neglecting
the health of their children. For this
reason the board recommends the pas
sage Of laws providing for compul-
sorry medical inspection of school chill
dren.
The prevalence of rabies is on the
increase according to figures given in
the report This year the brains of
SAT infected animals were examined.
In 1908 eighty-two were examined.
Two hundred and ten persons bitten
by rabid cats and dogs were given
treatment by the state this year.

S1.5O PER TON PROFIT

There is no such thing as coal

the breaking up of this comb ine.
Zone company which quoted a
grade OF mixed anthracite for base
burner use at about 35 cents cheaper
than the quotations Of the majority of
other dealers for baseburner anthra-
cite was owing to the fact that one of
the mixtures in the coal advertised
was over a dollar cheaper than the
standard grade generally used for
such purposes.
Higher prices for baseburner an
thracite were quoted by one or two
concerns because they wanted to make
the price prohibitive, they being out
of the coal in question at that time. y
Denies Price Combine.
Mr.. Mather stated that no prices
were fixed on various grades Of coal
at the monthly meetings held by the
local coal dealers.
I'VE only meet to discuss trade con
'ditions and the wholesale market" he
said.
He declared that there was a stand
ard custom for fixing the price of all
grades of domestic coal, the dealers
adding on $3.50 per ton to the price
they paid the mine operators and the
freight charges to make their profit
Must Make $3.50 Profit.
He said this fact alone made the
charge that coal prices were fixed at
the dealers meetings ridiculous. eve

one" Mr.. Mather added.
He also stated that the coal bought
at the mines was purchased wet and
that 1t was almost always dry when
retafled in this city, consequently coal
dealers had to figure on a considera
BILE depreciation loss. He said re
Gently a carload of coal when 1t ar
rived here was three tons less In
weight than when it was loaded, but
the mine operators had to be paid fol
these three tons.
Local coal dealers, however, admit
that the cheap natural gas now being
supplied in Richmond will affect theil
business to a considerable extent.

POWER OF CHRIST
THEME OF GRAHAM
First Presbyterian Pastor
Speaks At Whitewater
Church.

The power of Jesus Christ to aid in
the complexities and problems of mod
ern life was discussed Sunday even
by the Rev T. ]. Graham, who spoke
at Whitewater Friends church through
the exchange of pulpits which was
brought about by the seventeen church
which will aid in the Honeywell evan
gelistic campaign.
The text of the sermon was from
the Gospel of St. Mark v:50, BE of
good cheer 1t is l. Be not afraid"
The speaker said that Christ was a
man of positive personality which was
proved by the way he fed five thous-
and persons, and again by the text
itself, showing the manner in which
he greeted His disciples.
He was also a man of prayer,
said the speaker. He participated in
the joys and sorrows of the world to
an extent that none otner has ever
succeeded in doing"
