Austin, Tex. Feb 2S-After debating
for practically two days on the subject,
the senate last evening finally passed to
third reading the house bill giving to
married women the separate control Of
their property An effort was made to
pass the bill finally under suspension
of the rules, but this failed by one vote.
When the bill is again called up il will
pass and then be sent back to the house
for concurrence in the senate amend
mcntS. The most important amendment
adopted in the senate is one which pre-
vents the wife from dispOsing of any
land, mortgages, bonds and other Sc
curities without the consent Of her hus-
band. A serious defect in the bill az ID
now stands is that ii makes the separate
earnings and income of the wife liable
for the debts of the husband.
A bill was introduced in the house
permitting the incorporation of base
ball clubs. This measure is designed to
meet the ruling of the attorney general
that base ball clubs can not be chartered
under the present law.
