nesses she created quite a disturbance

abused people for over two hours be-
fore she was arrested. It was also
testified to that she had threatened to
cut a woman with a razor causing
the latter to be thrown Into a violent

gress a severe lecture and imposed a
fine of $25 against her.

fined in the sum of $5 on a charge of
malicious mischief. The lad was ac-
cused of having taken a horse and bug-

owner. The boy was arrested by De-
tective Bailey.

ficer also testified that they visited a

EMBERS FIRE
OTHER HOUSES
ONE HOUSE DESTROYED TOTALLY
BUT SEVERAL SAVED BY THE
PROMPT DEPARTMENT.
Fire which broke out at the home of
C. Trevino 525 South Leona street
about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
completely destroyed the building with
all its contents. The fire threatened
the destruction of several other hous-
es in the vicinity but which was pre-
vented by the prompt action of the
fire department. The high wind which
was blowing at the time caused the
Hames to spread with remarkable rap-
idity.
The house destroyed was a one-
story frame structure and owned by
Mrs. E. A. Lerick and partially cov-
ered by insurance. The adjoining
buildings also owned by Mrs. Lerick.
were damaged to the extent of about
$l5O. The contents of the house de-
stroyed were valued at about $350. and
were owned by C. Trevino. No insur-
ancew as carried by him.
How the fire originated is not
known. When discovered the fire was
breaking through the roof. The flying
embers set fire to several houses in
the block but these were quickly ex-
tinguished by the firemen before the
fire gained headway. A wood yard
two blocks away became ignited and
was extinguished with considerable
difficulty. The wind added to the dif-
ficulty of handling the fire.
BIG QUARTERS

TIONAL CLUB

The attitude of the Business Men’s
club toward the International club
was a subject of investigation on the
part of The Light today. Briefly it
seems to be one of suspense until the
new organization shows its hand its
methods its purposes and its effect
upon San Antonio business.
Samuel B. Weller of the Newton
Weller & Wagner company stated this
morning that he preferred n6t to as-
sume any attitude as the chairman of
the jobbers’ committee until he learn-
ed further how the International club
intended to work. “If they simply get
agents from northern and eastern
houses to come here and open sample
rooms It will do us no more good than
so many commercial travelers. There
is a right way and a wrong way to
push trade with Mexico. The right way
is to get branch bouses of the big Im-
plement and other concerns here so
that the trade they do will really be
. San Antonio trade. The wrong way Is
to make of this town a mere broker-
age town where trades are made aud
the goods shipped through direct from
the north. If merchants here are sim-
ply used as agents by eastern Arms It
won't be long until the trade will jump
right over our heads. So I am waiting
to see how they do it.”
G. W. Brackenridge said: “We are
most of us waiting to see what the In-
ternational club will accomplish. I be-
lieve it will be a good thing. We are
trying to arrange to give it rooms in
this building which is covered with a
ten-year lease. It It is a strong and 1
successful trade organization conduct-
ed on business principles it will great-
ly benefit us. I do not believe it can
injure the jobbers of this city. This
is a brokerage .town anyway. Goods
are shipped through here in carload
lots direct to retailers in south Texas
or Mexico. All increase of this trade
is good for us.”

ELECTION FOR
SCHOOL BONDS
IT IS ORDERED BY THE SCHOOL
BOARD AND SET FOR
MAY 10.
WOLFE RE-ELECTED
He Recommends New Buildings—Says
San Antonio Schools are Pros-
perous and Crowded.
The school board at its meeting lasi
night ordered a special election hek
on May 10 for the purpose of voting s
special tax of fifteen cents on tht
$lOO assessed valuation and issulm
$200000 worth of bonds for the erec
Uon of new school buildings.
The bonds provided they carry’ ir
addition to their use in erecting new
school houses will be used in erecting
additions to the present school houses
and for the building of a new high
school. The extra lax is to be use.l toi
the payment of teachers and janitors
tor the new schools and for maintain-
ing them. The present school tax is
thirty cents on the $lOO assessed valu-
ation and the election is to determine
whether it shall be raised to forty-live
cents on the $lOO assessed valuation.
The re-election of L. E. Wolfe as su-
perintendent took place last night.
The term is for one year. Paul H.
Scholz was re-elected as clerk of the
board and Charles H. Bertrand as at-
torney for the board. All members
were present and the elections were
unanimous.
Following the election of superin-
tendent. clerk and attorney lor the
board the members then turned to the
matter of discussing the proposition
of building additions to the schools
aud the rebuilding of the high school
or building a new high school.
The board desired to learn the situ-
ation as to what improvements were
needed in order that the bone propo-
sition might be put clearly before the
people.
For the Information of the new
members of the board and for the gen-
eral public. Superintendent Wolfe at
the request of the board submitted tbA
following communication in reference
to needed improvements:
“In compliance with your request
(or a statement in regard to the ne-
cessity for additional school room 1
beg leave to submit the following:
"The average enrollment tn the
grades of forty-tour cities nearest the
population of San Antonio is forty-
four. The average enrollment in the
grades in San Antonio is fifty-eight.
These figures show that out teachers
have on an average fourteen more pu-
pils to handle than the teachers of
other cities. This not only places too
heavy a strain upon the teacher but
makes it impossible tor her to do the
best work. Additional buildings tor the
grades are urgently needed.
“From a careful study of the whole
situation I suggest the following build-
ings and addition for the grades:
“Two-room annex for No. 2 (Mar-
shall street) school. A two-room ad-
dition to each of the following schools:
No. 1 (Sam Houston) school No. 4
(Mason street) school No. 5 (Burnet)
school No. 8 (Pecos street) school
No. 9 (Bowie) school No. 11 (Pros-
pect Hill) school No. 12 (Starr street)
school No. 13 (Laurel Heights) school.
No. 15 (South Heights) scflool No. 16
(Brooklyn avenue) school No. 17
(Harris) school on Government hill;
No. 18 (Herff) school. No. 19 (Briscoe)
school No. 21 (Kerr Hill) school.
Grant school (colored) Brackenridge
school (colored).
“There is need also for a two or
four-room building in the following
vicinities: Near Rubiola's store Hun-
stock street in the South Park addi-
tion; at Beanville near the old shoe
factory and in the neighborhood of
the kindergarten on the West Side.
"At the Cuney school five rooms are
poorly accommodated in a dilapidated
frame building. At this place the site
is ample and a six-room building
should be erected. A two-room addition
Jr annex will probably also be needed
it the colored high school.
“The additions to the above outlying
schools will enable these schools to
carry higher grades and thus relieve
the congested condition in schools in
the heart of the city."
It is considered probable that sites
will be donated for the buildings.
Many offers have already been receiv-
ed from the residents of the neighbor-
hoods named in the communication.
Continuing Mr. Wolfe says:
“Our high school is greatly over-
crowded necessitating the use of thy
corridors the basement and the audi-
torium for recitation rooms. On" of
the very difficult questions the new
board will be called .upon to decide is
whether it is wiser to build additions
to the high school—probably removing
the third story of the present building
and placing the auditorium on the
ground floor —or whether a new site
should be for a high school
and the present high school be used
for grade purposes."
At the suggestion of Trustee South-
worth the election of an architect and
supervisor of repairs was passed In
order that the matter might be inves-
tigated. He stated that in his opinion
the present arrangement was unsatis-
factory and suggested that the posi-
tion of supervisor be dispensed with
and that the matters be given to the
architect and pay him a better salary.
The resignation of Dr. W. M. Wolff
was accepted and the election of a su-
pervisor passed temporarily.

STRENUOUS TREATMENT
FOR THE THROAT
When Mllle. Arta the dramatic so-
prano of the Manhattan Opera house
first went to Paris to study music
she could not speak French. One day
being troubled by a throat affection
she complained to her teacher who
advised her to see a specialist giving
her a name and address.
The specialist had his office in a
large building where were many oth-
er doctors and dentists. Unable to
read the French signs upon the doors
Mllle. Arta sought simply for the
name of the physician whose card
she held in her hand. At last she
found it —the name. She was receiv-
ed bv a gentleman who bore all the
ear-marks of the medical fraternity
and at once she felt reassured.
Pointing to her throat she tried to
indicate what the trouble was. With
a knowing nod the doctor who seem-
ed very quick to grasp -the situation
escorted her to a chair .and inclining
the chair to an acute angle he left
the room. Presently he returned gen-
tly urged her mouth open as if to
gain a good view of her throat and
began a critical examination. The
next thing Mllle. Arta realized was
that a pair of forceps were being .
brandished dangerously near her [
mouth.
She tried to explain realizing sud-
denly that she was in the hands of
a dentist but he held her firmly in
the manner of one believing that the
sooner an operation Is over the bet-
ter and that explanations are much
more satisfactory after a thing is
done with. She struggled up from

his grasp as well as she could he
trying to tell her that he would be
very gentle and that he would not
hurt she endeavoring to expostulate
in guttural grunts that it was her
throat and not her teeth which need-
til attention. Still he did not under-
stand and insisted upon extracting
the tooth. It was only the timely ar-
rival of an English-speaking patient
that maters were cleared up the den-
tist discovering that the singer wish-
ed treatment for her throat and not
for her teeth and the singer discov-
ering that both dentist and throat spe-
cialist had the same name. Yet while
she gloried and trembled at her es-
cane. the dentist followed her to the
door protesting that she should at
anv rate have the tooth extracted.—

SUSPICION IN FINANCIAL LIFE.
"In one sense the wholesale em-
ployment of detectives by the modern
kings of finance and by the great cap-
tains of industry is a sad commen-
tary upon existing business morality"
says David Ferguson in “The 'Shadow*
in High Finance” in Everybody's. “It
may be that these men are no less
honest than they were years ago be-
fore high finance was born but cer-
tainly they are more suspicious of one
another and such universal distrust is
suggestive in itself of most cynical
interpretations.”
