SAN ANTONIO. Texas. April 11.—
Wednesday will mark the opening of
the twenty-fifth annual convention of
the Daughters of the Republic of
Texas, which will be held in this city,
to continue until Friday evening, when
the convention will come to a close
with memorial services. A figure al-
ways prominent in the circles of the
Daughters of the Republic that will
be sadly missed at the convention this
year is Judge J. E. Webb, who was
among tnose wno perished in-the dis-
astrous fire of the San Antonio Coun-
try club several weeks ago.
Of more than passing Interest will
be the presence at the convention of

day and contributed greatly to the

in constant demand at each of the
eighteen stops.
The day’s trip was by no means de-
void of the spectacular and unex-
pected. Of the speakers whose talent
1 was displayed on the trip and which
was in constant demand, was none
other than Arthur Lobovitz, otherwise
known as "Jew Baby," "prince of Aus-

The band, seated on the stage, played
several pieces, after which the party
repaired to the basement for dinner.
Here the service, under the direc-

excellent. Roast teef, hot biscuits, ex-
cellent potatoes and cake splendidly
cooked were all that hungry men could
ask. In addition each man was pre-
sented with a rose and invited to
come back again.
The lengthy telegram expressing the
regrets of the party was sent to Mr.
