THE AUSTIN' DATLY STATESMAN'. TITTTtSDAT, FEBRUARY 4. ISM. FOUTU the uisTil statesman 1 THE AVAILABLE MONEY, I According to unofficial and yet au -n HEWS OF THE' STATE HOUSE General and Personal Gossip of the Various Departments Dr. Coulter said on this occasion, nls testimony Was that, barring the first emotional outburst which followed the tremendous crash, the women on board were perfectly calm.

It was well understood that the blow to the ship was mortal. For several hours the outcome was involved in very grave doubt; and safety depended upon the timeliness of vessels in coming to tne rescue of the sinking hulk. It was a period of great suspense. But throughout the wW hsif sA i tV -XAr Ju, ye glied a MANDAMUS SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO ASSUME JURISDICTION IN THE INSURANCE CASE AGAINST COMMISSIONER LOVE. REASONS ARE GIVEN Written Arguments Filed by Both Sides Were Unsatisfactory Trinity Life and Annuity Society of Dallas Is the Ralator.

The supreme court yesterday refused a writ of mandamus in the case of the Trinity Life and Annuity society of Dallas against Thomas B. Love, commissioner of Insurance and banking. The grounds for this action of the court is because it held no Jurisdiction, or rather declined to take jurisdiction. "At a former day of this term," says Chief Jii tlce Gaines, who handed down the opinion, "we referred this case back to counsel upon e.ther side, with re- ruipsr tnnr thpv furnish with ft. writ- Vi a NAGE BILL RIGHT ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL SLUDER SAYS IF MEASURE FINALLY PASSES IN PRESENT SHAPE WILL CURE DEFECTS.

BIG RUSH OF BILLS About Forty Drainage Districts Will Be Immediately Organized as Soon as the Bill Becomes a Law. Easy Sailing Thus Far. Assistant Attorney General Sluder said yesterday the department has been receiving a number of inquiries concerning the drainage district law, and when it will be possible for the department to approve any bonds under the act It will be remembered that the department a short time ago refused to approve any more drainage district bonds under the present law on acount of a number of defects discovered therein. The department, with the aid of former State Senator Griggs of Houston prepared for the legislature a nejv law which meets the requirements, and which passed in its present form will enable th issuance of drainage district bonds. This bill which was introduced in the senate by Senator Masterson, was passed finally and was referred to a committee on ir.

rlgation in the house and this committee considered the bill yesterday and several amendments were offered, but final action was deferred. The corn- ten argument pointing out the law UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS News of the Halls, Classes and Campus entire ordeal the women on board were absolutely undismayed. In almost ludricous contrast to this serene exhibition of fortitude was the behavior of some of the men. Dr. Coulter declares that two of the representatives of the masculine gender were actually smitten with 'Hysterics at the thought of violent and instant death, and acted like frightened boobies until the worst was over, when they auddendly received an access of valor.

However, there was no cause to blush for tho manner in which the majority of the sterner sex acquitted themselves. While the story which Dr. Coulter tells of the unruffled bravery of the American woman under circumstances of great peril Imparts a thrill of gen-, uine admiration, it excites no feeling of surprise or wonder, because It makes no new revelation. Woman in all days and all times has stood forth to the honor and credit of herself and country, In times of peace or war. In the hour of sorrow or In the period of great calamity.

The hand that rocks the cradle in addition to ruling the world is ever the guidi spirit to man and not Infrequently hia beBt counselor. A DAY OF BIG THINGS. The strenuosity of the present day and time in the financial as well as the general world has never been so ac curately portrayed as in noting the sale of three big railroad concern within a few brief weeks without so much as causing a flurry in money matters. As suggested by the Philadelphia Press this is a country of big things. Americans have gotten in the habit of thinking in billions.

They deal In figures undreamed of elsewhere. In what other land could three large railroads change ownership completely within a few weeks and cause scarcely a ripple? Outside tne siock marseu very little attention la paid to these transactions, which are really huge. James J. Hill wants an outlet to the Gulf of Mexico for his big railroad sys tems of the north, so he buys the Colorado and Southern. The tidy price of $18,000,000 is handed over and in a day the public is ready for the next move.

Then the Canadian pacific resolves to dig deeper Into the United States and it quidkly transfers the Wisconsin Central from the pockets of its American owners to Its own. Excepting a flash in shares of the railroad bought there Is little to show for this very significant move on the part of the largest British corporation doing business in this hemisphere. The Chesapeake and Ohio, a railroad of over 1800 miles, and as long as the original Union Pacific, the building of which was one of the world's wonders. Is bought up in a day by Mr. Hawley and there is neither any excitement nor any very great general interest Bhown In the big transaction.

If an English railroad having the capital er mileage of any one of these three American railroads recently sold were to change hands suddenly it would be made tho subject of parliamentary debate and endless newspaper discussion. But the people of the United States, who have 232,000 miles of railroad, can witness the sale of three lines aggregating 4700 miles without stopping to think about it No man is ever entirely grown if you leave It to his dear mother to decide the proposition. Lillian Russell announces that she will never marry again. May be she Intends to make good, but it sounds wonderfully like one of those fare well tour propositions. For COLDS and GRIP.

It is entirely wrong to run messengers to death the way ha Is doing.

Why not apply practically the suggestion that surplus earnings of the water and light commission be given ever to permanent street improvement? Several of the larger cities of the country have public marriage bureaus. The question which iuterests the man in tha case, however, Is wo will buy the rest, of tha furniture. In addition to carrying out his promise to take the first train to New York following Taft's Inauguration, would It not be also well for Teddy to take the first boat out of New York for Africa There Is a whole lot of difference between a wife and a servant girl as was recently in New York city by a servant girl shooting her employer for criticising the biscuits that she had made f-r breakfast The announcement that a big fat 'possum has teen discovered the back yard at the while house would tend to prove that Roosevelt is getting Jealous of Brother Taft and wants to go the 'possum racket a little bit him self. litis agitation against race horse betting at county and state fairs would indicate that some people seem to think that enough money has been ppent after a fellow pays hia admls- I sion fee and has taken a few rides on the hobby horses. thorised reports the water and light commission of Austin earned $72,000 during the year lyoS over and above all expenses.

This amount, as can readily be figured represents a monthly profit of t6000. The disposition of this sum of money, like all other public funds, will necessarily attract attention. Its presence in the earning columns of the water and light commission report may lead the excitable agitator to demand that the water and light rates be reduced. This demand has been made from time to time In the past. It has been clamored for by the agitator in face of the fact that Austin Is today enjoying as cheap if not a cheaper rate than most cities of its- This demand for lower rates and demand for stop Improvements" at the plant have been heard for several years now, but fortunately little attention has been given the agitation.

It Is presumed that it will now be renewed with the announcement of the profit earnings as noted above. The board meeting at which this inform a-ticn was given out did not go into details as to whether in counting in the operating expenses that the Interest and sinking fund had also been provided for. Granting, however, that they have and that there is 172,000 surplus now, or that there will be next year a similar amount as a surplus and that the year following a similar amount or an even larger one will be the result of successful management of the plant, what then? Certainly it would seem the part of practical business management and good sense to spend this money where It will do the most good. The water and light rates do not need a curtailment as thev are reasonable enough as they stand. Consequently do cut these rates, but apply the money where most needed.

Every one will readily recognize that it la most needed upon the streets of Austin, and most all of us doubtless agree that it should be expended there without any unneccessary delay. At present and for several years past the street committee of the city council of Austin has had a measley little- sum of about ten thousand dollars with which to do all street and bridge work. A sum wholly inadequate and really worse than nothing on account of the bickerings attendant upon its disposal. Now if tha city could expend $6000 per month on Its streets In a businesslike way for several years. Austin would ere long have one of fie best street systems in the south.

The plan Ij easy of accomplishment The monty would be available, with a businesslike management of its water and light plant as has been demonstrated. The Indirect tax thus secured would fall with no hardship upon any one. Everybody would be directly benefited in consequence of a liberal policy of street Improvements and Austin would be moving onward in that line of pro. gression so necessary to its future. Why not put the plan Into early execution? THE SWEDISH COLLEGE.

Austin, which so proudly claims the honor of being the educational center of all our great southland, i to have fresh laurels added to her crown by the coming of the Swedish Methodist college which Is to be erected here at once at a cost of $80,000. That the coming of this educational Institution to this city means much not only for Austin's educational advancement, but for the people of Texas and the south aa well. Is easily apparent. The Swedish people are among the most representative of all our citixen-eTtip. As a race and as Individuals they are among the most progressive, enlightened And thrifty, and the fact that Austin has been selected as the location for a great institution that will thrive snd wax great as tima progresses and will be the means of giv ing a higher and broader education to thousands upon thousands of young men and women of this state, should unquestionably be a source of great gratification to all.

The Statesman bespeaks for the new institution that success and that bright future that Is so deserving. THE AMERICAN WOMAN.

I soon as it comes out of the committee, 1 it will be taken up and passed in the house. As soon as this Is done and the measure receives the approval of tno governor, it will become law and then all drainage district bonds will be appro-ed. Judge Sliider said yes terday that from indications there are at least forty drainage districts in various parts of the stalj that will submit bonds for the approval of the department.

In Harris county alone, he said, there would be four drainage districts, and two in Jefferson county. This will flood the department with drainage district bonds, but they wil' be approved as fast as possible. Amendments- Filed.

Bl Paso Lumber company filed at amendment to its charter increasing it capital stock from $40,000 to $75,600.

Two claim Louisiana for a birthplace and one is known to admit that he first saw the light in Arkansas. Of the voting faculty, twenty-four are natives of the south and fourteen were bora elsewhere. Among those of lower rank, seventeen of the instructors are southerners and six are from other than southern states. Of the seventeen, several are native Texans. The tutorships' and fellowships are, of course, filled almost exclusively by Texans.

were signed yesterday afternoon by I the governor. One is the Austin city charter and the other is the Waco I charter. Both of these charters are In a great measure alike, as both provide I for ret-all Both of these charters 1 go into eftacl go into effect at once, having the emergency clause attached. which makes it the duty or tne commissioner of banking and insurance to do the things which it is sought to compel him to do. The arguments have been filed and are unsatisfactory to us.

The attorney general seems not to contest our jurisdiction in the case, but to be willing that we should decide the question if ws have power to do so, but consent can not give jurisdiction and hence, unless we can find In tha statute something which requires respondent to do the things which are prayed for in the petition, we must decline to take jurisdiction of the case and deny the writ" The court then quotes the two sections of the law under which it is sought to maintain this proceeding, and says: "The meaning of this we do not clearly comprehend. It says every association coming within the description as set forth in section 1 of this act, ehall pay annually to the commissioner of insurance the following fees in connection with its entrance Into the state. It seems to us it can only apply to companies incorporated out of the state who seek to do business in the state. True, the fee for annual statement, $1, may possibly apply to all of them, but that gives us very little aid In deciding the question. Because we find no allegation in the petition that the commissioner failed to receive euch fee, or that it will not be received." Continuing, the court says that.it seems that it was the intention of the legislature, that when a fraternal benerlciary association had filed with the secretary of state ita charter as required by article 2542-n of the act it should have the right to begin business and to continue to do business until en-Joined by the attorney general.

"We find no provision in the act which shows a contrary intention. Whether this be -wise legislation or not is a question we are not called upon to determine. It follows that in our opinion the writ prayed for should be refused, and it is accordingly so or dered." BREWSTER COUNTY COURT BILL WAS APPROVED. The governor yesterday signed the bill just passed in the legislature restoring criminal and civil jurisdiction to the county court of Brewster county. RESERVE AGENTS ARE NAMED BY COMMISSIONER.
