Austin’s long expected fire hose
truck is scheduled to arrive Monday.
Mayor Wooldridge received a mes-
sage Friday afternoon from railroad
officials at Sherman stating that. the
big: automobile bad arrived there and
immediately, would be shipped on to
Austin. It is scheduled to be pulled
into the yards here Saturday or Fun-
Cay, but the Mayor does not expect it
before Monday.
The truck was ordered in April of
last year, but a serles of minforlithes
befell the manufacturer to whom the
order was given causing a long delay.
The Mayor said Friday that before
many months have passed additlotal

Eight hundred persons who sat in
the auditorium at the University Fri-
day night and hear Alma Gluck sing
will not have to be urged to attend
the next concert given by her in Aus-
tin. It was unanimously conceded by
those who heard her that Alma Gluck
is the greatest artist of her kind that
has ever been in Austin.
She sang seven or eight encores In
addition to a score of numbers on the
program. Among the encores by re-
quest was "My Laddie.” To say that
each was representative of the highest’
in art is but expressing the opinion
of all who heard her.
After the final number the audience
lingered, loath to depart, and an in-
formal reception was held on the stage,
where Miss Gluck met all members of
the Amateur Musical Club.
Of charming personality, beautiful
beyond description, a magic echantress
is Alma Gluck. Her simplicity of man-

As to her voice—well that is some-
thing for the masters to rave over. It
has truly been said that hers "the

The tone quality that appeals to the
hearer and the note of purity and

preme Court at Nyack, N. Y. Lyman
was sentenced at Los Angeles, Jan. 9.
He was first arrested at Oakland, Cal.
several yeans ago,* and made a nensa-
tlonnl escape from the prison hospital.
Lyman made a dash for the Canadian
border in an automobile but was inter-
cepted In Oregon and served .eighteen
months in the Federal prison on Mc-
Neil Island for attempting to escape-
At the time It was rumored that Mh«
ehman financed the escape.
"Cullen H Thomas would have been
the choice of the Brownsville section
had he not withdrawn from the race,
according to Mr. Sluttery, and in be-
lief that his name might be submitted,
the delegation was Instructed to vote
for him for second choice.
"Farmers around our section are of
the belief that the recent statement of
the Farmers' Union, urging the abol-
ibhment of prohibition and anti-pro-
hibition questions from the guberna-
torial race was inapropos. Many bo*
lleve that the unlon should not have
taken up the political phase of the
question, and the effect will not be
noticeable among the Brownsville
armers."
Mr. Slattery spoke in glowing terms
of the wonderful fertility of the
Brownsville country, and excellent
crops that are being raised there
through the medium of irrigation.
The Federal Government has deslg- 1
nated Brownsville as an intermediary
point for a wireless exchange and re-
lay station between Arlington, Virginia
and Darian on the Isthmus of Panama.
The station is expected to be in opera*
tion by autumn. The initial expense
will be 175,000.
From Fort Worth Mr. Slattery, ac-
companied by Colonel D. P. Gay, will
visit Washington, D. C„ where, in con-
sultation with the War Departmenf
they will urge the building of the road
proposed and already logged by Fed-
eral engine ern between Brownsville
and El Paso, a distance of about 982
miles. This road will afford an excel- .
lent army road and border patrol road
between these two extreme points of
the State and will greatly facilitate
overland travel and careful border
guarding.
"Citizens of Brownsville hnve re-
cently subscribed 3100,000 to the con-
struction of a railroad twenty miles
in length between Brownsville and the
coast. The road will cost about $600,-
000 and will be constructed in the be-
lief that Brownsville may have (deep
water nt some time,” stated Mr. Slat-
tery,
The following is the statement of a
lady who occupies the proud distinc-
tion of being one of the earliest in-
habitants of Waco, having lived in that
city for forty years. Mrs. E. Ker, 900
Columbus Avenue, in Waco said:
“For five years I suffered with a
pain in my side, constipation and in-
digestion, I think I have taken about
everything that has ever been recom-
mended to me, even sending to Cali-
fornia for treatments, but without get-
ting any better. I had severe head-
aches and spots before my eyes so I
could hardly read. One bottle of Plant
Juice did me more good than all the
medicines I have taken in five years.
You are at liberty to use this state-
ment for I want all sufferers to know
of Plant Juice.”
The action of Plant Juice is direct
and quick, it is purely vegetable and
combines the' rarest essences and
juices of medicinal plants to be found
in all parts of the world. For all dis-
eases of the stomach, kidneys, liver
and blood It is immediately effective
and the results are permanent. For

HOUSTON, Tex., Feb. 20—Former
Assistant District Attorney John E.
Green Jr., named today for United
States Attorney for the Southern Dis-
trict of Texas by President Wilson, is
among the best known younger mem-
bers of the Houston bar. His father
is Rev. J. E. Green of the Methodist
Church. Young Green was for several
years a reporter on the Chronicle staff,
but resigned to take the University
law course, which he completed about
five years ago.
Senators Culberson and Sheppard
were at one time at loggerheads over
the bestowal of this position, and
Postmaster General Burleson had
openly urged the appointment of Rob-
ert Us Culberson, a brother of the
Senator. The present visit of E. M.
House to Texas Ie asserted to have had
to do with the harmonizing of ele-
ments in connection with this appoint-
ment. Green is about thirty-five years
of age.

water commissioners have* formally
taken over the management of the san-
itary sewer company recently pur-
chased for the city and hereafter same
will be under its control subject to
the approval of the city council.
A recommendation was made that
the rates for service be reduced 40 per
cent, effective July 1, 1914, and that
each year thereafter the rates be re-
duced 10 cents per month per patron
until the charge for service disappears.
This to be subject to the financial con-
dition of the plant each year. A ree-
ommendation was also made that each
property owner In the district served

ordinance to connect his premises
therewith.

with this matter disposed of there
now remains only one ordinance of
any significance to be considered at

will be passed at Monday’s session.

constitution. A telegram from A. C.
David of Rogers, Ark., National sec-
retary of the Farmers' Union, thanked
the mine workers for adopting reso-
lutions Thursday favorable to rural
credits and pauper immigration legis-
lation. •
An amendment to the constitution
was adopted levying a monthly per

of an old age pension fund. interest

the old age pension fund and aged and
decrepit union miners in the district

To discourage the making of petty
grievances, a. resolution was adopted
providing that the complainant in each
grievance shall secure all evidence to
be presented to the district executive
board. Until the evidence is secured
the board will disregard the grievance.

ball sentiment. It is not spontaneous.
It is not the voice of the people. It
is the result of carefully manipulating
the underground wires by as smooth
a set of politicians as ever pillaged a
people—the same old crowd, the same
elements that fought Hogg and have
always been lined up with the corpor-
ations and predatory interests.
"I sat as a delegate in the'conven-

seize the psychological moment, great
artist that he is,'and renew on Hogg
the fame attacks he had made at Waco
in 1900 when Hogg whipped a stpcked
convention in a clean fight. It is the
hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob.
It is a prohibition mask but the voice
of B. F. Yoakum, the Frisco lines, the
railroads in general and those other In-
terests that are drawn together by
kindred purposes. I am not going to be
fooled by any such a combination; I am
not going to pay any such price fdr
