WHAT THE TEXAS LAW SAYS
ABOUT APPOINTING SENATOR

There seems TO be a widespread
misunderstanding as to the manner
OF filling vacancies caused by the
resignation or death OF United
States senator In Texas. judging
from the amount OF buncombe that
is being handed out on the ques-
|tion just now. For the benefit If
those who are in the dark on this
matter we beg to say that under
the law at present there can never
be the possibility of any man occu-
plying seat as United States sena-
tor from Texas for more than ninety
days, unless he has polled MA
JORITY of the votes cast in an
election.
Here Is the law on the subject:
when any vacancy happens
or occurs IN the representation
Of the state in the United States
senate, the governor Of this
state shall within ten days IS
sue writs of election to fill
such vacancy, which election
shall be held not less than six
~ nor more than ninety days
after such vacancy occurs.
provided If the congress or
senate is in session at the time
of such vacancy or should con-
vene before such election or be-
fore the result of the same can
be officially ascertained under
the law, the governor shall
make temporary appointment
OF suitable person to repre-
sent the state in the United
States senate, until the election
and qualification OF senator
can be made"
This is plain. The intent of the
law Is that no man shall represent
the state of Texas in the United
States senate for any length of time
without having been elected to that
place by direct vote of the peo-
ple.--Fort Worth Star Telegram.

SYNOPSIS.

Mary Page, actress. is accused Of the murder Of James Pollock and is defended by her lover, Phiap Lansdon. Pollock was intoxicated. Al Mary's trial she ad= mits she had the revolver. Her maid testifes that Mary threatened Pollock with it previously, and Marys leading man duplicates Lansdon. How Mary dis appeared from Che scene of the crime is 8 mystery Brandon tells Of a strange hand print he saw on Mary s shoulder. Further evidence shows that horror of drink pro- duces temporary insanity in Mary. The defense IS ''repressed psyehosis Wit nesses describe Afary's flight from her in toxieated father and her fathers suicide. Nurse Walton describes the Kidnapping of Mary by Pollock and Amy Barton tells of Mary's s struggles to become an actress and Pollocks pursuit of her. There is evidence that Daniels, Mary's manager, threatened Pollock. Mary faints on the stand and again goes insane when a po- lieeman offers her whisky. Daniels testi- fies that Pollock threatened to kill Mary and Langdon and actually attempted to kill the latter. Two witnesses describe Marys flight to the street from the hotel and her abduction by men from gam bling place near by. Further evidence seems to ineriminate Daniels.

 ''Yes. But l could see it and that was iusr about as important for me. All I wanted was to have the goods on a woman that had been blabbing too much about me"
 Miss Hale, did you at any time when you looked out at the fire-escape hear any conversations"
 Yes
 "When?s
 Well l wasn't wearing my wrist watch that night so l can't tell you the exact time. It was pretty late, after midnight. 1 had about decided that the game was due to come off pretty quick or not at all. and had leaned out of the window to take last look when l saw the lights flash up in the next suite"
 Were the windows openf''
 Yes"
 And you could hear talking?"
 Yes
 Was it a man and woman?'
 No; two men. One was shouting pretty loudly and the other seemed to be promising him something or reas- surfing him. One voice seemed kind of familiar, but I didn't place it then be- cause it was thick like man with an edge OH. The other voice I didn't rec ognize. At any rate I heard the lush say,

She stuck around til pretty late. hoping te have | chance to get in on the game anyway, and then when she tried to go down the fire-escape she found 1t about as quiet Us Broadway around eight o'clock.
