Texas and New Orleans Segregation Bill Advances in House
The Texas and New Orleans railway segregation bill to sell the Dallas to Sabine Pass segment moved to engrossment in the house by 95 to 14 after defeating an amendment by Rep Mays requiring cancellation of stock and bonds beyond property value by 88 to 18. The senate already passed the bill. The house paused other business and took up the Southern Pacific merger on third reading. The senate also approved a tax measure imposing 600 dollars annually on ticket scalpers, up from 5000 by amendment, and debated a bill restricting domestic corporations to a single place of business.
