I been heard by the commission but
will doubtless be filed immediately.
The appearance before the com-
mission of President Harrison of the
Southern railway and B. F. Bush
receiver of the Missouri Pacific was
I the first official intimation that the
Southern and Southwestern lines
। would ask increased rates.
I President Holden of the Chicago
■ Burlington Quincy opened the
I argument for the Western roads.
Mr. Holden based his application
| for an increase in freight rates on
six grounds as follows:
I Increased wages to trainmen under
! the Adamson law.
; Increased wages to other em-
i ployes some already granted with
! others likely to follow in the imme-
! diate future.
| Increased cost of locomotive fuel —
■ coal and oil.
Increased cost of materials.
: lix rcases in prh cof equipment.
J Higher taxes.
I Mr. Holden said the roads had
। come to the Interstate Commerce
Commission first because they felt
should the commission grant their
petition there would be less diffi-
< ulty in obtaining authority to in-
crease intrastate rates from the va-
rious state boards and commissions
involved. Such applications he said
would follow a ruling in the present
instance.
i “The national outlook is clouded
। with conditions of the most serious
I character” said Mr. Holden "of
: sufficient severity to indicate that
the transportation machinery of the
country must be brought to and
maintained at the highest possible
standard of effiicency with the least
possible delay.”

FIESTA PROGRAMS
READY FOR MAILING
In Envelope Size They Make
Attractive Medium of
Advertising.
The official program of the Fiesta
and Battle of Flowers has been print-
ed and was approved by the Direct-
ors at their weekly meeting last
night. Twenty thousand of these
programs are now ready for distri-
bution and can be had by business
men who desire to use them in their
daily mail to Texas customers. The
program is small in form and may
be used as an envelope stuffer. It
bears no advertising.
Porter F. Loring reporting for
the S. O. S. V. stated that their bur-
lesque parade would be exceptional-
ly elaborate and that a large num-
ber of organizations had expressed
their willingness to take part. These
include ^the Shriners the Rotary
Club ClQ’ Club Mu Nu Sigmas Elks
Southern Pacific Band Eagles Car-
penters - Union Trades Council and
Typographical Union. The rules for
entering the burlesque parade the
last night of the Fiesta. April 21
have been prepared and are being
distributed to organizations who wiph
to compete for the $B5O offered in
cash prizes.
Mr. Loring stated that a stage
would have to be built on Alamo
Plaza to take care of the mock cor-
onation to be put on by the Rotary
Club. An appropriation of $llO was
voted for this purpose. The stage
will front west on Alamo Plaza be-
ing erected on the east side of the
Plaza at Crockett Street. Permis-
sion will be asked of the city to
close Crockett Street for one day
only.
It was also voted to send a repre-
sentative of the association on the
trade excursion of the Manufactur-
ers’ and Jobbers’ to Brownsville and
adjoining country to better adver-
tise the Fiesta along the border. R.
P. Schermerhorn was designated to
go on this trip.
A committee of the directors was
appointed to call on Colonel M. F.
Waltz commander of Fort Sam
Houston to ask the co-operation of
the post in the Fiesta.
All committee chairmen reported
progress and stated that this year’s
Fiesta and Battle of Flowers would
be the most elaborate and spectacu-
lar ever presented and that greater
crowds are expected largely because
of the wide advertising being done
by the Fiesta Association and the
railroads entering San Antonio.

WORKING FOR BILL FOR
UNIVERSAL TRAINING
Luke Grant Touring Texas in
Interest of Chamberlain
Measure in Congress.
Universal military training as an
essential step in any program of na-
tional preparedness is being advo-
cated by Luke Grant representing
the Universal Military Training
League with headquarters in Uhi-
cago and branch offices in New
York.
Mr. Grant is visiting the principal
cities in Texas urging support for
the Chamberlain bill for military
trailing which was introduced by
Senator Chamberlain of (Oregon in
the last Congress it will be reintro-
duced at the special session of Con-
ess which begins next Monday.
The Chamberlain bill provides for
six months of intensive military
training for every American youth in
his nineteenth year except those
who are the sole support of a family
’redit not to exceed three months is
provided for youths who have had
military training in schools ap-
proved by the Federal government.
"From what 1 have seen in the
last week there can be no mistak-
ing the Texas spirit.” said Mr. Grant
who arrived in San Antonio last
night. “I never have seen a finer
display of patriotism than that
shown in the cities 1 have visited
in Texas. The sentiment for univer-
sal military training is especially
strong in the East but it is sweep-
ing the entire country. 1 think there
is no doubt that a law requiring
military training will be enacted at
the special session of Congress. It is
the only sane plan for providing a
citizen army of defense while at
the same time permitting full ad-
herence to oip’ democratic ideals.
A<lequate preparedness is the best
safeguard against war."

WASHINGTON D. C.. March 2S.—
The National Temperance Council
today opened a two-day conference
here to plan closer unity among its
various groups particularly for the

Daniel A. Poling president of the

the league will be aided by the serv-
ice of Sir Herbert D. Ames hon-
orary secretary of the Canadian Pa-
triotic Fund and Commodore Aemi-
lius Jarvis who have had charge
of such efforts in Canada. Sir Her-
bert in a speech before the league

TWICE PROVEN
If you suffer backache sleep-
less nights tired dull days and
distressing urinary disorders don’t
experiment. Read this twice-told
testimony. It’s San Antonio evi-
dence —doubly proven.
F. Elmerick grocer 702 Mon-
tana St. says: “At one time I used
Doan’s Kidney Pills and they re-
lieved me of a distressing weakness
of the kidneys that had caused
frequent attacks of backache rheu-
matic pains and also trouble with
the kidney secretions. I think so
highly of Doan’s Kidney Pills
which T got from Adolph Dreiss’
Drug Store that I don’t mind my
name being used in recommending
them.”
(Statement given December 15
1913.)
No Trouble Since.
On June 23 1915. Mr. Elmerick
said: "I am glad to say that no
kidney disorders have troubled me
since I recommended Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills before.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—-
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Elmerick has twice public-
h recommended. Foster-Milburn
