TEXAS WOULD START
WAR ON OWN ACCOUNT

| AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. 25.-Believing
the American consulate at Matamoras
is in danger Governor Colquitt is pre-
pared to send the Texas troops across
the border if necessary.
| At midnight he ordered four COM
panies of the Texas state militia to
proceed to Brownsville with all haste
when it was reported to him that Am
ericans had been arrested and held for
ransom at the Mexican town of Matam-
oras, across the boundry from Browns
Vile, when they refused to contribute
money to the officials il charge of
Matamoras.
The governor also sent this message
to Captain Head in command of the
Brownsville company of the Texas
national guard:
Matamoras who is demanding money
that if he harms single Texan, his
life will be demanded as a forfeit"
Governor Colquit received this tel
egram from Captain Head of the ma
tional guard which has been on duty
at Brownsville for several days at
the request of the sheriff of Cameron
county:

While admitting that the Judge of the
second district from a part of which
the tenth was to have been organized
probably has more work to do than
any other judge in the state, the gov
ernor calls attention to- the fact that
Judge Steele, who has the work to do,
has repeatedly expressed himself as
opposed to the formation of the new
district and that the work is done at
least as promptly as in any district in
the state.
The message also points out that
there were not as many cases filed dur
ling 1912 as there were during 1911,
and that there is no reason to believe
there is apt to be any great increase in
the business of the court during the
next two years.
The chief executive adds that since
the bill has been pending in the legis-
lature he has received many letters
from taxpayers in the district and that
without exception they contain pro-
tests against the division.
Can't Initiate Amendments.
In one of the longest fights that has
occurred in the legislature since the
session began the house voted twice
today against the adoption of the
joint resolution for the submission to
the voters of a constitutional amend
ment, the adoption of which would give
the electors power to initiate consti
tutional amendments.
The resolution was twice killed-in
the morning by vote of 80 to 21, and
in the afternoon by 26 to %.
Both times majority of the votes
were cast in favor of it, but it required
a two-thirds majority, and that could /
not be obtained
