United States. You have a great ad-
vantage in the excellent climate you
have and this never fails to appeal to
one from the north. Since our arrival
here we have put away our furs for we
don't feel that we will have any use
for them any more this winter.”
Reception By Business Men.
Mr. Willys and patty have come
from Beaumont where they were on
tertained by the Chamber of Com-
merce and they were compelled to ent
their visit at Houston short as a result
of the fatigue following their visit to
the city of oil wells. They were ten-
dered a luncheon this afternoon at the
Gunter by Dr. Aiken the local repre-
sentative and business men. and to-
night they will leave for Dallas over
the Katy flyer. At Dallas Mr. Willys
will be the guest at a banquet which
has been arranged for him by the busi-
ness men of Dallas aud Fort Worth.
Among the speakers at the banquet
which will take place tomorrow night
■will be Royal A. Ferris a prominent
banker and Louis J. Wortham. A con-
vention of Overland dealers will lie
held at Dallas which Mr. Willys will
attend. On Friday he will leave Dal-
las for Houston whore he. will take the
Sunset limited for California where he
will rest up after a strenuous year of
business brought on by the remarkable
growth of the companies at the head of
which lie stands.
The car in which Mr. Willys is travel-
ing was placed at his. disposal I.y
James Harrington president of the Au-
to Sales company of Dallas and is
equipped with nil the modern conveni-
ences so that it is virtually a palace
on wheels. The patty was joined at
Beaumont by Howard Harrington li-
rector of publicity of the Auto Sales
company who is accompanying Mr.
Willj‘s on his tour of the state. With
the party also is George W. Graham
territorial manager of the Overland
Hales company with headquarters :>■
Dallas well known in automobile cir-
cles in Han Antonio and he is proving
a valuable guide to Mr. Willys.
As to where the assembly plant will
be located Mr. Willys ik as yet unable
to say. He stated however this morn-
ing that the business of the company
in the south has grown to such an ex-
tent that an assembly plant will soon
have to bp established in the south and
that this will be at some point in Tex-!
as but where be has not yet been able I
to decide.
The two plants that Mr. Willys con- !
trols employ no less than 4800 persons ;
the Toledo factory having 3000 on its
payroll and the Indianapolis plant 1800.;
and they are all high-priced. These
plants tuc» out on an average ninety
cars complete even- day and the de
mand for cars has become so great that
Mr. Willys expects to double the ca-
pacity in another year.
Mr. Willys has just acquired the
largest automatic machinery plant in
the state of New York which is locst-
Ed at Elmira. This is a plant tor mak-
ing machinery for making automobiles
thus placing Mr. Willys in a position
where he can manufacture his own
tonls for turning out autos and con-
stantly meet all exigencies as they
arise.
Discussed Assembling Plant.
At the luncheon tendered to Mr.
" 'Uys and party at the Gunter hotel
this afternoon the question of the pro )
po-cd assembling plant was discussed
informally. Mr. Willys expressed him
self in the highest terms of what he
has seen of San Antonio during his

port the funds are being readily sub-
I scribed and that an increase of from

which is needed can be raised in three 1
days. He reports that the amounts

ing and the business men approached

brief stay here. He spoke of the great
demands that are being made upon his
business by the ever-increasing trade
which makes the erection of an as-
sembling plant in the south an extreme
necessity. Further than this he did
not say as to the probable location of
the plant. He is now on a tour of the
state making observations regarding
the best location. Later he will send
his private secretary Mr. Wright on
a similar tour on which to gather de-
tailed ’information and upon Mr.
AVright’s return to the north the ques-
tion of the location of the plant will
be thoroughly considered in all of its
details after which a decision will
be reached.
Setting forth the many advantages!
that Sau Antonio offers for the loea-i
tion of such a plant John B. Carring
ton secretary of the Chamber of Com-
merce made an informal talk in which
he called attention to the big field the
automobile occupies in San Antonio and
surrounding country. He told of the
ever-increasing numbers of automobiles
on the strets of the city and of the
many high-quality cars that arc to be
found here. Mr. Carrington stated that
for a location for the assembling plant
no place would be better suited than
San Antonio.
AV. F. McCaleb also made an interest-1
ing talk showing why San Antonio I
should have such an institution.
Mr. Willys stated that he would go
over the matter very carefully and con-
sider it in a fair and impartial light
when making his selection for an as-
sembling plant.
While Mr. AVillys was being enter-
tained at luncheon at the Gunter the
ladies of the party were entertained
by the officers’ ladies at Fort Sam
Houston.

Special Meeting of Fift District
Medical Society Will Assem-
ble Here on March 22.
MANY EMINENT PHYSICIANS
New Orleans Galveston Chi-
cago and Saltillo Mex. Are
to Be Represented.
The members of the Fifth District
Medical society will assemble at the
St. Anthony hotel March 22. according
to the announcement made iast night
by Dr. A. Bowman of Uvalde president
of the society. It is expected at least
one hundred physicians from outside
San Antonio will be in attendance aud
that fully one hundred doctors from
I San Antouio will be present. A smok-
j er will be given that night on the roof
- of the St. Anthony hotel.
Dr. J. B. Murphy of Chicago and four
I eminent physicians coming from New
1 Orleans Galveston aud Saltillo Mex..
i will address the assemblage.
Dr. Murphy who is the senior sur-
'geon aud head of the Northwestern
I University of Chicago and chief sur-
geon of the Mercy hospital and famous
! as a consulting surgeon will in his ad-
I dress besides touching upon profes-
! sional topics speak on the superior
। qualities of San Antonio's climate. Dr.
i Murphy is annuall}' sending hundreds
I of patients to San Antonio who want
a warm and dry elimate where it is
possible to live out of doors most of
the time. In comparing this climate
with that to be found in California. Dr.
Murphy said:
“San Antonio's climate is as mild
as California’s and is piucb better in
that it. is more dry. There are no
damp chilly fogs in the morning and
nothing like as many cloudy and rainy]
days. The person coming to San An-1
tonio is generally looking for out-of-1
door life. He wants sunshine and
warmth i
About the only drawback that this!
city has is the dust nuisance. That!
should by all means be done away with..
It is not only most uncomfortable but I
it is also a serious menace to the health (
of the visitor. T am sure it would
not cost the city a great amount to
sprinkle the streets with water or with
oil. It w’ould be one of the best invest
ments the city could make.”

STEADILY INCREASING
Storm Center Now Over North

The storm center was over north
Texas this morning says Local Fore-
caster Allen Buell of the United

needed snys the major to change the
whole face of nature though under
the present condition everything is
coining out very nicely.
Spring conditions are likely to pre-
vail though the temperature may be-
come a little cooler. There has been
little change in the temperature all
through the country except in Mani-
toba where the mercury has dropped
to zero. This morning the temperature
varied from 66 on the coast to freez-
ing in the northwestern states.
There has been little precipitation
except along the eastern slopes of the
Rocky Mountains and considerable
rain in the centra] valleys. Some snow
has also fallen on the Atlantic coast.

Match Was Then Applied
Throwing kerosene over a horse and
I then setting a match to it and making
the animal run through the streets a
mass *of flame is the accusation that
' confronts Earnest Hardie and John

At. the office of the Humane society

place at a small town in this county
known as Oakley about northwest ot
here. It is stated that the men were
drinking at the time snd that one pro-
posed as a means of having some fun
the throwing of the kerosene over the
horse and setting a match to it.

when Agent McCauley appeared before
him to make the affidavit Hardie’s
father accompanied him although his
name is not included among those of
the witnesses in the case.
The horse was owned by Williams

ing of the animal. It is said that later
