Washingfton, July 27.—President Wil-

today Representativles Padgett, Tal-
bott and Estopinal, the ranking Demo-
crat members of the house naval com-
mittee, and told them he believed it
vital that the house adopt the naval

construction program including four
battle cruisers and four battleships to
be built immediately and an increase
in the enlisted personnel of the navy.
It is understood Padgett told the
president there was certain to be de-
Passenger Rate Clerks Will Meet at
Tremont Hotel.
Working headquarters for the Texas
passenger rate clerks, who will gather
in this city on Aug' 1 have been se-

chosen, according to information from
the general passenger department of
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe.
Beginning Aug. 1, passenger rate
clerks of Texas will meet here and re-
main in session for probably six weeks,
working on a reissue of the Texas in-
terline passenger tariff. •

Court A clop urns.
Judge Clay S. Briggs adjourned the
Tenth District court last evening. The
next term of court will begin the first
Monday in October. Judge Briggs, ac-
companied by his father, left last
night for western New York, where

Talbot Will Serve as One of Causeway
Arbitrators.
According to Chief Engineer Frank
Merritt of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe railway, chrairman of the board of
engineers for the Galveston causeway,
Arthur Newell Talbot of the University
of Illinois, Urbana, Ill., has accepted
the appointment ,as one of the arbitra-
tors to decide upon final working plans
for the rehabilitation of the Galveston
causeway.
Mr. Merritt said that upon this ac-
ceptance he had notified the other
causeway interests or the fact and had
asked when the appointment of an ar-
bitrator by the county and interurban
might be expected and when it would
be possible for the two arbitrators to
get together and. select a third man
to act with them.
Welsh Coal King Unites Several Com-
panies Into One.
Special to The Tribune.
London, July 28.—The greatest coal
combine known to the United Kingdom,
has just been effected by Lord Rhondda,
better known to Americans as D. A.
Thomas, the Welsh coal magnate. He
has brought into the Cambian combine,
of which he is managing director, be-
tween 3,500 and 4,000 acres of the rich-
est portion of the South Wales coal
fields belonging to D. Davis & Sons,
Ltd., acquired three years ago by Davis
& Sons for $1,574,250. The combine
places Lord Rhondda at the head of
an organization with a capital of $17,-
765,170.
Public interest has been so much con-
centrated in the war that, outside busi-
ness and financial circles, practically no
interest has been taken in the gigantia
effect of the deal. It is that the Con-
solidatedCambrian combine controls now
all the fields producing the renowed
steam coal which has contributed so
much to the supremacy , of the British
merchant marine and which has been,
said to constitute the life of the British
navy. It is said that there is no coal
in the world with a higher reputation
for bunkering purposes, and that more
record runs by ocean craft between
New York and Liverpool have been
made with this coal than with any
other.
Details of the deal are not available,
but it is understood that the market
value of the shares of D. Davis & Son,
Ltd., have appreciated in value recently
from $7,678,125 to $10,040,625.
The great combine will have an an-
nval output of 6,000,000 tons.

that gave pleasure to millions of peo-
ple of all ages. No two persons in the
work have received such wonderful pub-
licity and advertising as this young
pair, who eloped and fled this country L
at one time to avoid the parental
wrath of Mrs. Castle’s father, and al-
most faced starvation in Paris.
They also discovered a fortune in
their feet and, with true American
spirit, grasped the opportunity and are
to the capital to attend a meeting of
the committee to discuss the bill. They
planned to have the committee report
back to the house later in the day, rec-
ommending that the house disagree to
the senate amendments and send the
bill to conference.
The naval committee at a meeting
after the White House conference
agreed to report the bill back to the
house with a recommendation that the
house disagree to all the senate amend-
ments and send the bill to conference,
for adjustment there. By some this
was taken,as a favorable step for the
larger program.
WAS CLUB MEMBER.
Judge Rosenthal was an active and
enthusiastic member of the Galveston
Rotary club. He was also a member
of the Garten Verein and the Fish
Feeders’ club, an organization of busi-
ness men who spend Saturday after-
noons in fishing. He was on the last
excursion of the club and was always
one of the freshest members, physical-
ly, of the organization on their return
to the city after a day’s fishing, despite
his age. He lived a clean, wholesome
life, and did not show his age.
His subordinates did not consider him
as merely their superior. He was their
warm personal friend and he took great
interest in their welfare. His interest
in them was shown when he was in-
strumental in the forming of two or-
ganizations among the members of the
custom house to insure a pension for
employes of the service who might be-
come unable to work because of ad-
vanced age. He was the president of
both organizations.
AIDED COTTON CARNIVAL.
To Judge Rosenthal was due the suc-
cess of the recent cotton carnival in
a great measure. He was appointed
chairman of the marine exhibit, and
collected one of the largest and most
comprehensive exhibits of this kind
ever seen here. His connection with
thb government placed him in position
to secure some exhibits that might not
otherwise have been had. He was also
greatly interested in the success of
the carnival aside from his own exhibit
and spent much time and attention to
the work during the two weeks of the
exposition and was on the grounds at
every opportunity assisting the mem-
bers of the executive committee.
The news of his death spread rapidly
last night and hundreds .of friends
called at his residence, 1815 Broadway,
to offer their condolences to the be-
reaved family. All of his sons were no-
tified of his death and are expected to
arrive in Galveston today or tomorrow.
Fred C. Pabst, collector of customs,
in speaking- of Judge Rosenthal and his
work today said: “The death of Judge
Rosenthal is a. great shock because of
our warm personal friendship. We had
been friends many years. He was a par-
ticularly efficient man in his office of
special deputy collector. He knew the
business from every angle- and was al-
ways ready to do his best for every-
body having business with the custom-
house. He was a man of high char-
acter, a kindly heart and was loyal
to the core.”
Government offices will be closed
during the hour of the funeral.
The funeral services will take place
tomorrow afternoon from the late resi-
dence, 1815 Broadway, Rev. C. P. Hass-
karl, pastor of the German Lutheran
church, officiating. Burial will be in
Lakeview cemetery.
The active pallbearers selected for
the funeral are: John Niland, Sam T.
Zinn, J. B. Poole, E. S. Kidney, S. R.
McCormick, S. A. Maverick, W. E.
Shearer and D. J. Macgregor. The hon-

Crystal No. 1.
“Jealousy a La Carte” is the title of
a screaming comedy being shown at
the Crystal No. 1 today. The story
follows:
Art and Rube are both employed in
the same cafe, Rube as a waiter and
Art as a chef. They are both in love
with Alice, a Spanish dancer, who is
an entertainer in the cafe. They are
bitter rivals for her favor and come to
blows about her, much to the detri-
ment of the service of the cafe. The
proprietor settles this, and as he likes
them both, allows them to continue in
the service of the place.
Madge comes to the cafe as a cashier.
Art and Rube see her and fall for her.
Madge being a flirt, encourages them
both. They have a bitter quarrel about
her, which winds up in a duel between
them with meat cleavers as the weap-
ons. As a climax to their struggles to
win her favor, Madge is attracted by
the brass buttons of a policeman, and
falls in love with him. Alice, too, is
charmed with brass buttons, so Madge
and Alice leave Art and Rube and go
with a couple of strange policemen
who happen to come on the scene. Art
is so disgusted that he polishes a fry-
ing pan, hands to Rube. Rube then
hits Art and himself on the head and
they both pass away.

Galveston’s municipal flag is now a
'reality. A design for this flag was
adopted on the 20th of last April, fol-
lowing the offer of the Y. W. C. A. to
donate a municipal flag, as well as a
national flag, to the city, but the Gal-
veston flag has now been actually made
and today it was delivered at the city
hall City Secretary John D. Kelley
has it in custody until the flag can be
accepted by the city commission in ses-
sion this evening.
The Young Women’s Christian asso-
ciation is giving the city both a
municipal flag and a flag of the United
States, and the latter has been de-
livered along with the other. The flags
were ordered through a local concern
and the municipal flag was made in
accordance with a design submitted by
Perry Luth and D. K. Bowie of this
city and adopted by the city commis-
sion April 20.
The new municipal flag is 7 by 9 feet
in size. Description of the design was
furnished by Messrs. Luth and Bowie
and was published in the Tribune of
April 21. Excerpts follow:
“The body of the flag is of light blue
silk, surrounded on the top and bottom
edges and on the fly with golden
cord, having tassels attached. In the
center of the flag, surrounded by a

Judge Alphonse J. Rosenthal, for
eighteen years special deputy collector
of customs of the port of Galveston,
died at 7:30 o’clock last night at St.
Mary’s infirmary following an operation
for appendicitis. He had only been sick
since Sunday and was attended by
physicians Sunday, Monday and Tues-
day. Yesterday morning it was decided
that an immediate operation was neces-
sary and he was removed to the hos-
pital, where an operation was per-
formed yesterday afternoon. He died
five hours later.
The news of Judge Rosenthal’s death
was a great shock to his thousands of
friends in Galveston because of the
brief illness. Only a few of his busi-
ness associates and closest friends
knew that he was seriously ill until
the news of his death was received. He
was one of the best known and most
loved of the citizens of Galveston.
The decedent was 67 years of age.
He was born in Berlin, Germany, on
Jan. 13, 1849, and was a veteran of the
Franco-Prussian war of 1870. His
parents were Max and Eleanor Rosen-
thal. His father died when he was
quite young and his mother lived until
he had reached middle age and had
.reared a family. In 1874 he moved to
this country and settled at Lagrange,
where he married Miss Bettie M. Stiehl
in 1875. He is survived by his wife
and six children: A. J. Rosenthal, Jr.,
of Corpus Christi; Eugene and Arthur
Rosenthal of Galveston, Alex Rosenthal
of St. Louis, and Mrs. L. T. Erickson
and Miss Emma Rosenthal of Galveston.
He is also survived by ten grandchil-
dren; also by one brother, Arthur Ros-
enthal of Berlin, Germany. They were
the last of a family of twelve children.
WAS COUNTY JUDGE.
Judge Rosenthal was county judge of
Fayette county for a’, number of years,
and later represented Fayette county
in the state legislature. While a resi-
dent of Lagrange he was at one time
the Republican candidate for congress
from the old tenth district. He prac-
ticed law in Lagrange with Attorney
Robson under the firm name of Robson
& Rosenthal. Attorney Robson was
also a candidate for congress. In recent
years Judge Rosenthal had not been
active in politics.
He came to Galveston in 1894 and for
seven years edited a German publica-
tion called' the Texas Post. He re-
mained its editor until 1901.

On a triennial examination trip the
Santa Fe air service instruction car
is now in Galveston and will remain
here until July 31, according to J. A.
Burke of Cleburne, air brake instruc-
tor, who is in charge of the car. The
car is parked near the Union station.
Examinations in the operation and
maintenance of air brake equipment are
being undergone on this occasion by
conductors, engineers and other train-
men, yardmen, inspectors, repair men
and in fact all Santa Fe employes who
handle train equipment. Such exami-
nations every three years are required
by the railroad company, so far this
purpose the car comes here and to oth-
er important points on the road every
three years, although it makes more
frequent visits for instruction pur-
poses. This particular car is used on
the gulf and eastern lines of the Santa
Fe. It is completely equipped with ’
i every kind of apparatus necessary to
| test the efficiency of the men in han-
dling and maintaining air brakes.
It is said that between 125 and 150
Waco apparently is the choice of a
majority of the delegates to the con-
vention of the Slavonic Benevolent or-
der for the place of holding the next
convention of the order, which will
occur in 1920 unless a plan of holding
gatherings more frequently than every
four years is adopted. It was expect-
ed that officers would be elected and
the next meeting place would be cho-
sen this afternoon, if the convention
could get to it. At noon today work
on the constitution and by-laws revi-
sion had not been quite finished, and
it was not certain that the convention
would end today, although the dele-
gates desired 'to get through if pos-
sible. It was expected that some sur-
prises would be sprung in connection
with the election of officers. Caucuses
have been held by friends and sup-
porters of candidates.
Henceforth the Slavonian Benevolent
order will limit loans made to mem-
bers on lands to $8,000 to any one per-
son. A motion to this effect was made
and adopted this morning. Heretofore
there has been no limit on the amount
of loans. Other slight changes were
authorized in the requirements govern-
ing applications for loans. The su-
preme lodge takes up these applica-
tions every three months.
A motion was also made and carried
that in the case of any member of the
order who may be confined in an
asylum for the insane or blind, or who
may become totally disabled so he can-
not perform his regular work, it shall
become the duty of the local lodge to
keep up that member’s assessments in
so far as the local lodge is able; when
the local lodge is unable to keep up
such assessments, then the duty to do
so is that of the supreme lodge. Ad-
vances made in this way are to be
charged against the policy of the mem-
ber affected.
DEAD ARE HONORED.
By rising to their feet the delegates
this morning gave expression of their
regret for the deaths of some 210
members of the order, which have oc-
curred since the last convention. This
action was upon Temporary President
Method Pazdral’s suggestion.
As forecast, the convention yesterday
afternoon adopted the plan of raising
the minimum amount of an insurance
policy to $500 and fixing the maximum
amount of insurance protection to any
one member at $1,500. Insurance as-
sessment increases of between 15 and
20 per cent were also authorized. A
system of partial payments on insur-
ance policies where the insured dies
within three years from the date of
the issuance of the policy was adopted.
Hitherto the full amount of the policy
has been paid regardless of the time
it has been in force. In future one-
fourth of the full amount will be paid
if death occurs the first year, one-half
if during the second year and three-
fourths if during the third year.
Unless too many of the delegates de-
part this evening, the convention visi-
tors will be tendered a “dutch” lunch
at Woollam's Lake tonight. A dance
was given there last night.
Judge J. H. Teague, a prominent
jurist known throughout Texas for half
a century, furnishes a report of much
interest relative to Vitalitas. In it
Judge Teague says:
“This is to certify that in October,
1906, I became afflicted with muscular
rheumatism. I was compelled to take
to my bed for more than five years. I
suffered untold pain. I tried every-
thing known to the medical fraternity
for relief; visited the hot wells of Mar-
lin for relief, but received but little. I
had almost given up in despair when I
consented to try Vitalitas. After tak-
ing two bottles I began to experience
relief and so continued until today I
am as free from pain as any ’one of my
age in Texas. I am in my 72d year and
as spry as most men at 50. Icheer-
fully recommend this great remedy to
all suffering rheumatism, believing, as
I do, that if taken as directed a per-
manent cure will be the result.”
Not only for rheumatism is Vitalitas
effective, but also for indigestion, bili-
ousness, nervous debility, etc.

I asked a shoe man the other day why it
was that shoes were so much higher in price
than they used to be.
SShoe leather has gone up,” he said. "Most
people think that’s the reason. But it’s only
one reason.
"People are buying better shoes than they
used to. They want more comfortable shoes.
Better fit. They want longer wear and more
style. They want some individuality, too.”
I thought to myself: Well here’s a condition
just like the one we are experiencing in the
automobile business.
Nearly every 3400 r. p. m. we have sold
this year has been to someone who has driven
a lower priced car.
I know for myself that it pays to buy better
shoes as well as a better car.
But it seems that the great big buying public
has the same idea, too.
I’m particularly strong for the 3400 r. p. m.

durance.
There are now more than 1,000,000 miles
