21211 AHEAD
Dallas. Tvx. May 8. —Additional re-
turns received from last Saturday s
primary election add 513 to Senator
Bailey’s total and <>oB to that of Mr.
Johnson the totals now being 124805
for Bailev and 103594 for Johnson a
majority of 21.211 for Bailey.
A careful review of all the returns
and a canvass of the entire situation
leads to the conclusion that not more
3OOO votes cast in the primary
election are at this time unreported.
Reports from several counties have
shown that no returns were received
from a few boxes but in every case
there are only a few voters in such
precincts and it has developed that
in some of these no primary election
was held.
Official returns are now being re-
ceived by State Chairman Carden and
State Secretary McNealus and will no
doubt be published within the next
dav or two.

Amusement j
The Bia Tent.
"True Irish Heai-.s" made a big
hit at the Big Tent theater last night
where it received its .initial produc-
tion. Filled with fun ayd pathos the
bill alternately brought smiles and
almost tears to the large audience
which saw it. It will be repeated this
evening. There will be a change of
program tomorrow night.
Electric Park.
Tonight and tomorrow night will
be the last opportunity the San An-
tonio public will have to witness the
excellent vaudeville bill now on at
the Electric park theater. This bill
has been enjoyed by all and has
proven the best drawing card of the
park this season. Five big acts all
of them full of vim fun and freaks
are put on. These include two attrac-
tive juveniles the Edinger sisters
who do a very fine song and dance
act; Edwin Winchester the great
musical novelty artist whose song
“It's Insanity" is one of the most
amusing as well as original ever
heard in San Antonio; Ray Fern in
black face continues to amuse and
Booth and Gordon never fail to
bring down the house with their sen-
sational cycle act. The closing fea-
ture of the show Is Niles and Hart in
“Poor Mr. Rich” a very funny one
act sketch.
The crowd at the dance hall last
night was even larger than usual.
Und< r the direction of Prof and Mrs.
Mllburne. this new enterprise on the
part of the park management is prov-
ing very popular. Admission is free
but 5c for each dance is charged gen-
tlemen. Ladies are free at. all times.
The best of order is maintained am!
everyone expresses themselves as
pleased with the conduct of the hall.
A number of social functions are
now being arranged.
The Lyric.
The Lyric is striking Its gait of
last summer when It drew immense
crowds at every performance espe-
cially on Sunday night. The bill this
week Is the second hooked by the
Lyric circuit and is the best of the
season. Big musical acts catch the
crowd while a sketch that brings a
spontaneous outburst of laughter Is a
feature. The acrobatic work i* of
high order while Illustrate*! songs
and moving pictures complete the
bill.

Cleveland to Attend Meeting.
L. E. Wolfe former superintendent
of citv schools will leave tonight for
Cleveland. 0.. whvre he will attend a
committee meeting of the National
Council of Education. Mr. Wolfe is

dren who are much brighter or duller
than their fellows and the ordinary
school courses hardly fit the individual
cases. It is in an effort to provide a
solution to this problem that the na-
tional associations have taken up the
work.
The committee of which Mr. Wolfe
is a member will report to the nation?!
