INCREASES THE PAY
Of RURAL CARRIERS
Senate Amends Postal Appropriation
Bill-Pay of Superintendent
Also Advanced.

The Senate today amended the House
postal appropriation bill by increasing
the nav of rural mail carriers 500 on
a standard route, making total salary
of $1,000 a year.
Stating that the present parcel post
rates are organized, doubtless unln-
tentionally, for the benefit OF the mai
order house, Senator Bristow proposed
that the Senate incorporate into the
bill an entirely new system OF rates
which would, he said, reduce rates on
an average 20 per cent.
COMPENSATION to Railroads.
He first provided that on parcel post
the railroads should be paid 5o per cent
of the gross receipts. so as TO HaaAe
their compensation the same as re-
ceived from express companies sen
ator Bristow said this plan wouid cut
the present compensation to the roaos
one-half.
The Bristow rates were ruled gu. o.

this debate he was willing to cut the rail-
road mail pay, and am DISAPPOINTED tnd'

The prediction was made that the meas

the bill so as to limit the Postmaster
Generals authority to change the weight,
rates or zones In the parcel post system
have thus far been rejected by the Sen
ate. The bill already has passed the

Of Importance to Texans.

Il have no purpose of being sensational
nor do desire to be unjust. but as Gov
ernor of Texas I believe that the ques-
lions which I have presented should be
dealt with fairly and squarely. and If
there is a government in Mexico recog-
nized by the United States, as governor
of a border state having many proper
matters in the line of my duty in the en-
forcement of the laws of this state to
present to such government, l feel that
/ should know who constitutes that gov
eminent in order to proceed intelligently.
Texas has nearly eight hundred miles
of frontier along the Rio Grande from Ell
Paso to Brownsville to police and pro-
tect. There are perhaps 25.OOO Mexican
refugees living in the cities and towns
near the border who have fled to this
state to save themselves and families
from the ravages, murder, pillage and
outrage which has been going on in the
northern states of Mexico to greater or
lesser degree for the last three and a
half years. Many perplexing questions
are presented to me almost daily as a re-
suit of this neutrality-suspicious. which
cannot be determined by our federal gov
eminent but must be handled by the
state government of Texas.
THE border Mexican states for the
most part are in the hands of the revolu-
tionists, and it is matter of great i'm
portance to this state to knew how to
enforce its rights against transgressors
who come across the Rio Grande and
commit crimes

McREYNOLDS MAY NOT ACT.
Has No Jurisdiction in Charges
Against Justice Wright.

Attorney General McReynolds has not
yet taken under consideration tho
charges filed with the White House
against Justice Daniel Thew Wright of
the District Supreme Court by Wade II.
Cooper The Attorney General this aft
ernoon declared that. although the pa
pers were on his desk, he did not know
just what the charges contained.
The usual course in such case, he
said, was to send the charges to the
judiciary committee of the House of Rep
resentatives without any investigation by
the department, though there were ex-
ceptionS to this rule. The Department OF
Justice he pointed out, has no control
over judges. and it does not want to enter
into a case concerning them, particu-
larly a case of this kind. he said, and
he believes that the proper course would
be to transmit them to the House COM
mittee.

SUNDAY CONCERTS
Corporation Counsel Syme
Says Commissioners Have
Power to Decide. 1

The question Of Sunday concerts and

today is expected to result in an early
declaration by the Commissioners as 70
what classes Of amusements will be per
mitted
Mr.. Syme was asked to report on the
scope and extent OF existing law wit
reference to Sunday exhibitions. the
form and substance of police regulation
bearing on the subject and the exten
of the Commissioners duties and pow
ers in the premises.
In his communication, submitted to u a
District heads today. he calls atten'o.
to police regulation which forbids the
exhibition on Sunday of entertainment
plays, operas, circuses. animals. gymnas
tics. dances and vaudeville performanc.s
of any kind. with exceptions made IT,
favor of moving pictures, vocal or instru-
mental concerts, or concert by singers
or artists not in costume.
Character Costumes Barred.
Singing by a person in character cos
tune is a violation of the regulation"
states the corporation counsel. The
form of this regulation is not all that
could be desired. | think that might b.
considerably improved. As to the sui
stance, l am inclined to think that theI.
is large and growing demand on the
part of large numbers of tne public for
entertainment of some kind on Sunday.
In my judgment all forms of innocent
entertainments ought to be thrown open
to the public within certain limits ana
at certain hours as conducive to public
morals. There is a great variety of
opinion among the people as to what
constitutes a proper observance of the
Sabbath, but without entering into any
discussion of this matter 1t might b.
admitted, / think. that the furnishinG
Of innocent amusement would not be con
trary to public policy. Certain classes
of men have a tendency on Sundays to
congregate for the purposes of drink
ing and gambling. whose time might he
spent less harmfully at some innocent
place of amusement.
Il think the authority TO make such
regulations is within the powers of the
Commissioners, and certainly such pow
err should be insisted upon until declared
nonresident by court of last resort
