DECLARED
ILLEGAL
Attorney Generals Ruling
Puts Call Directly
Up to Governor.

AUSTIN, Dec. 5.-The question
of calling a special session of the low
er House of the Texas Legislature to
investigate charges of alleged irregu-
larity in the State Highway Depart
ment was put squarely up to Cover
nor Miriam A. Ferguson tonight.
In an opinion rendered by Attor-
ney General Dan Moody, in response
to a request by Speaker Lee Satter-
white of the House, the attorney
general declared that the Financing
of a session of the House of Repre-
sentatives from private or individual
sources for impeachment purposes is
unauthorized and unwarranted and
against public policy"
Neither would there be authority
to issue warrants against the ex-
hausted appropriation made for con-
tingent purposes by the last Legisla-
ture to cover compensation of mem-
bers of the House while attending
an impeachment session. h
AVOID APPEARANCE OF EVIL
"The policy of this state and the
system of popular government en-
joyed is opposed to the financing of
any governmental agency by priva;e
subscription, Moody's opinion con-
tinued. "Our laws are so framed
and the structure Of our government
has been so built as to insure as
nearly as possible Independence on the
part of public officials and to furnish
them an opportunity to discharge
their duties without even an appear
ance of evil.
"If private persons or interests may
finance our governmental bodies and
thus encourage or discourage finan-
cially their functioning the very pur-
pose of supporting public institutions
by a system of taxation is destroyed.
ESTABLISHED POLICY.
"No intimation is made by this
opinion that the personnel of the gov
ernmental agency proposed to be sup
ported by private subscription in this
particular instance would not be I'M
affected and uninflueneed by that fact
but such an action is contrary to the
established public policy of this state
Neither do we intimate that per-
sons who might furnish money by pri-
vate subscription for the purpose Of
defraying expenses of such agency OF
the government would be actuated by
anything other than altruistic motives,
but the law supposes that in the pay
ment of taxes sufficient money will
be raised from such sources to defray
all cost Of administering the goyerp-
ment.
FRAUGHT WITH DANGER.
ave cannot escape the conclusion
that such a practice is fraught with
danger TO the public welfare, and it
is so far contrary to our system OF
government and its institution and the
general purpose of our government 70
promote absolute Independence Of ae-
ton upon the part Of public officials,
as to be contrary 10 the sound public
policy and is unwarranted and unau-
thorized.

ITALIAN NOBLE
COMPELLED
To BEG
Ayarice of Wealthy Father
Blamed for Predicament
of Youth
By international News Service

ROME, Aug. 1S.-In a neighbor-
hood known as camini, on the out
skirts of Rome. the peasants be-
came suspicious lately of a young
man, who. although of distinguished
appearance, yet was miserably
dressed, and going about from house
to house begging. They, accord
Ingly, notified the police, and the
beegar was arrested and brought
tn the station house by the cara;
hig1ieri. Here he acted strangely
and refused to give his name or any
other information about himself,
saving that he would explain every
thing to the authorities in Rome.
He was therefore locked up for the
night. and in the morning he was
han6cuffed and, in the company OF
the carabinieri, put on the tramcar
which goes from Tivoli to Rome.
(Hn this tramcar, however, was
the marshal of the carabinieri sta
toned at Tivoli and also the mayor
of the little city, and their atten-
ton was at once attracted TO the
prisoner. both feeling sure that ne
belonged to a well-known and noble
fanIiIy-Of the pace and was, IN
fact. Count Egidfo Coccanari. The
marshal, thinking there must have
been some mistake, spoke to the
Off ers, asking what crime the
ydung man could have committed.
whereupon the latter hung his head
aud his eyes filled with tears.
He then told a piteous story,
which. even If it is exaggerated IN
some points, is undoubtedly mainly
true. He declared that, owing to
the inexplicable avarice of his
,ather, he was left without any
means of support and that he was
forced to go every day to q certain
peasant, who lived at a distance OF
seven kilometers from Tiyoll, TO
see that all his fathers affairs
were going well.
The young count was obliged to
make this peasant sign a paper to
prove that he. had been there, and
sor this long daily task the father
paid his son three lire. In Rome he
repeated the same story and was,
therefore, set at liberty, while his
father was advised by telegram
that the young count was return
Ing home. Even If the son is in
some way to blame, great sympathy
is felt for him because OF his
arrest.

 The little pupils of Miss Moulton, the first and second grades, played enumerable games, had lots of good ies, to eat, then marched into Miss Bevier's classroom, the fifth and six grade, where they sang two fine songs which were certainly enjoyed. | Tn Miss Bevier's classroom the child ren appeared in costume and gave a grand march through all the rooms. The costumes were quite original and were very pretty. After the march ing pupils had come to halt all kinds of games were played, followed by dancing by Lois lessen, with Eleanor Krefting at the piano. Sandwiches ice cream and cake and candy were then served, after which came the dis tribution of prizes for the costumes.
 The most clever costume prize was awarded to Connie Henrikson, who was dressed up resembling cat. The most humorous costume prize was pre- sented to Myrl Stotko, who dressed III as Trilby, the dutky-hued daughter o1 the South Eleanor Krefting won the apple contest handily, with Viols Prosser taking second place.
