prevent similar outrages, Dr.. Bush said.
Dr. Bush declined to tell who per-
formed the operation.
Representative Irwin had charged on
the floor of the house that Dr. Bush
had refused to testify before the legis-
lative investigation committee because
he knew that he would be asked about
the operation on the negro
DR.. Bush tonight denied that this was
the reason he had not testified when
the committee was at Huntsville. He
rounced his resignation would be ask

40 years experience and veteran legis-

so large a party had ever been carried
in Texas. A 16-car train was so handled
by the railroads that it was never five
minutes late. The rides and enterta n.
ment were so arranged that the guests
had no opportunity to become tired OF
either. As a result the legislators en-
joyed the Valley, enjoyed Kingsville.
