ing of the general committee held at

the local work be appointed. The oth-
ers are a liberal presentation t<f the

present administration and the pub-
licity of the operations of the various
committees.
The permanent committees named

BLASE SAN ANTONIO REFUSES TO
RIOT OVER NEW HAREM SKIRT
In Fact Pretty Actress Who Wears It Doesn’t Cause Any
More of a Ripple Than Would Any Sinuous and
Comely Blonde.
Blase old San Antonio refused
flat-fooled to throw any spasms
or start any riots over the much-
heralded harem skirt.
Bright and early this morning
said harem skirt animated by a
sinuous and comely blonde lady
appeared on Alamo plaza. It
alighted from a street car at the
theater corner and prepared to
make a sensation. It wasn't even
noticed.
"Too early” was the mental
answer of the skirt to the lack
of appreciation shown by the
early workers.
About 9 o’clock the skirt still
animated by the sinuous blonde
made another sortie around the
plaza. In spite of die fact that
animation adopted the most man-
nish stride in her repertory and
flopped the divisions of the skirt
to the best of a practiced ability
there wasn't a thing doing for a
riot.
Graycie Conklin the blonde anima-
tion was hurted. Her feelings had
been lacerated much. The very idee!
She had created riot after riot In just
as big old towns as this. In Oklahoma
she had to adopt an automobile for
her very' own In order to escape the
crowds. In other cities she took horses
mounted them and pretended that her
new skirt was just a riding habit.
MISS GRAYCIE CONKLIN
Pretty actress who wore the harem
skirt about town all morning without
causing even a near riot.
She had been the center of so many
howling mobs that she had arrived
at the conclusion that It was coming
to her. So she was peeved.
She had the peeve with her when
the Light man stopped her on Crock-
ett street. Graycie is really W’orthy
some notice when attired In the usual
uniform of the show girlie at play.
Devotees of the blonde (natural thank
you) species of femininity would no-
tice her even to the point of a couple
of extra looks. In fact she was no-
ticed more for her natural embellish-
ments than she was on account of the
harem.
"I don't understand it.” said Miss
Conklin who Is a member of "The
Flirting Princess” company which
plays the Grand tonight. In every city
where I have appeared In my new
harem I have had difficulty in mak-
ing my way about the city. In some
real live towns I have caused a riot.
From what I had heard of San An-
tonio I almost expected to congest
Alamo plaza when it became known
I was out. And here I was hardly no-
ticed.
"No. indeed I don’t wear the skirt
for publicity nor to attract attention.
I like It fine and use It for my regu-
lar traveling dress. It Is the best
thing going and in another year I
think all the girls will be wearing
them.
’’But you ought to see the one I
have ordered. This one is little more
than a divided skirt as you see. But
my new one will he gathered in close
at the ankles and instead of walking
boots I will wear pumps and silk
hose. I'll bet If this new one had
been here so I could have worn It
this morning they would have noticed
me.
“I have had many exciting experi-
ences in this little dross. Tn one place
T was taken In custody by the police
and made to change my skirt. In al-
most every city T had to he rescued
by the police—and in towns whore
they had no police I was forced to my
own resources to escape from the
curious.
“But T have stuck to mv harem 1n
spite of all. and I believe I have done
much toward showing the women
what a good thing the new gown is
—how sensible comfortable and really
not unbecoming."
But In spite of this brave little talk
Miss Conklin was sorely disappointed
at the reception accorded her by
blase old San Antonio.
“The Chocolate Soldier.”
“The Chocolate Soldier." Mr. F. C.
Whitney's presentation of the qpera
side and two or three army officers)
will be the special guests of the oc-1
caslon. Many volunteer toasts will be
drunk and old memories recaled.
Cases arc Passed—Four cases In the
county criminal court in which thw
charge was transporting voters to the
polls were passed yesterday by the
court. It Is probable that the cases
will be tried at ttie latter part of the
present term.
Road Equipment Here—A grader
and four scrapers ordered for county
commissioners precinct No. 2 have
arrived and will be put to work next
week.
Mason Maney a Visitor—Mason
Maney president of the State Bank
at Pearsall is among the visitors to
the city accompanied by Mrs. Maney.
Mr. Maney reports fine rains through-
out Frio county and that section and
says that the general outlook was
never more promising.
Reports Good Rains—Garland Mil-
ler. who Is associated with E. C. Lasa-
ter at Falfurrias Is stopping at the
Menger. Good rains and crop and cat-
tle outlook were never better in his
section according to the reports ot
Mr. Miller.

SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
by Oscar Straus the book of which
is based on George Bernard Shaw's
brilliant satire "Arms and the Man"
which comes to the Grand four nights
beginning Monday has achieved a
greater measure of success than any-
thing since Gilbert and Sullivan were
on the top wave of their popularity.
It came here from the Casino In
New York where it not only made
the longest run of the season. 500
nights but where it had the distinc-
tion of achieving the longest consecu-
tive run of any comic opera in Amer-
ica. In Boston it made an equally
striking success and in London It Is
the biggest hit in twenty years. The
British capital went wild Over the
music and the opera will run there
for three years at least.
Dramatic and musical critics from
all over the country came to New
York during the season to pass judg-
ment on this opera and here are two
instances of the esteem in which it
is held by these critical gentlemen.
Allen Dale the widely known critic
of the New York American said: “Not
in years-—not since the days when Sir
Arthur Sullivan with Gilbert success-
fully proved that comic opera Is not
necessarily a vehicle for the simian
antics ot a flannel voiced gutta percha
faced comedian —have we had a
musical show as delightful as satisfy-
ing as artistic and as Inspiring as
‘The Chocolate Soldier’ by Oscar
Straus. Not in years have we been
privileged to sit for three solid hours
listening to melody after melody—-
one more charming than another and
saturating ourselves with the very
qulntescence of real light catchy and
whimsical music. 'The Chocolate Sol-
dier' Is a Joy. It is an inspiring thing
which sends you home with music in
your soul."
The Royal.
Boutan and Tillson who are book-
ed to soon appear at the Royal are
presenting in vaudeville a scenic musi-
cal production under the title of “A
Yard of Music.” They depart from the
conventional style of presenting a
musical act and carry almost a car-
load of special scenery 1n representa-
tion of a farm yard. It is an expen-
sive and pleasing setting disclosing a
well with the old oaken bucket a
picket fence milk cans and every-
thing else that belongs In an average
barn yard. From various object music
is extracted with an element of com-
edy running through the act to bring
laughter.
The Star.
Tonight brings to a close the cur-
rent week's bill at the Star and It
might be said that this week's at-
tractions have proven the actual mer-
its of good vaudeville. Those who
have not seen the famous Ardell
Bros. German athletes; RomanellH.
America’s foremost violinist and
Blanchard and Marlin in their com-
edy sketch should not fall to visit
this farewell bill.
DELL'S CROWX TREATER.
Today "Tom and Jerry” this is one
of the best Western dramas ever
shown it will make you want to see
more of the same actors —other reels
are equally as pleasing.
Yesterday this theater turned away
close to 2000 persons who were anx-
ious to see the "Judgment of Solo-
mon" and "Jeptha's Daughter" two
of the finest hand colored plcures
ever shown.
This theater is called the picture
shop of quality always showing first
run pictures and the only theater in
Texas that has a mirror curtain this
curtain brings out every feature :n
the picture and makes it look as
though the persons are really on a
stage.
If you want to spend a pleasant
hour it will pay you to visit the
Crown theater.

WOULD KEEP LABORERS.
Hawaiian Planters Oppose Efforts to
Hire Them for Alaskan Canneries.
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.)
HONOLULU. April I.—TerrltiFial
officials are making every effort to
prevent the recruiting here of laborers
for the Alaskan cannaries. The im-
portation of the laborers has cost
Hawaiian planters several hundred
thousand dollars. Frank B. Craig an
agent for tne canneries was arrested
yesterday on the charge of soliciting
laborers without a license.
PROOF THAT PROVES
If one person more than another
should know the value of medicine it
is the retail druggist.
Therefore when ten thousand retail
druggists of the United States recom-
mend Vlnol the delicious cod liver
and iron tonic without oil as the
best strengthening tonic known and
are willing to return their customers'
money in every case where it fails to
give satisfaction there oan be no
room for doubt.
Among others one of the most re-
liable druggists' of Lynn Mass. Mr.
Warren Toppan. says: "From per-
sonal experience I know what Vlnol
will do. I had a chronic cold all win-
ter. and was so weak I could hardly
get about. Nothing seemed to help i
me until I tried Vlnol—the change
was magic—and what surprised me
most. Vlnol not only cured the cold
but built me up and cured me ot a
severe stomach trouble that had both-
ered me for twenty years. Vlnol is
certainly a wonderful medicine." (We I
guarantee this testimonial to be gen-
uine.)
We ask every run-down nervous
debilitated aged or weak person or
any person suffering from chronic
coughs and colds to try a bottle of |
Vlnol with the understanding that '
their money will be returned if it does
not do all we claim. A. M. Fischer I

STILL CHANCE FOR
NON SOBSCRIBERS
Eleventh Hour Syndicate Will
Sell to Those Who Failed to
Get in on Brownsville Road.
FINISHING UP WORK TODAY
A committee of business men un-
der the supervision of Secretary J. B.
Carrington of the Chamber of Com-
merce is today busy securing signa-
tures of those who have subscribed for
stock in aid of the Brownsville road
but had not placed their signatures In
the subscription books. The work will
occupy the greater part of the day.
but ft is expected that all the sub-
scription books be placed in the
hands of the San Antonio Loan and
Trust company by 5 o’clock this after-
noon.
Those who desire to subscribe for
stock but were not seen by any of the
soliciting committees or for any other
reason failed to have their names on
the list will have an opportunity to
aid tn the project. Mr. Carrington is
agent for the syndicate which last
night subscribed for stock to the value
of $27100. the amount necessary to
complete the total of $500000 and
this stock will be issued to delinquents
who may desire to lend their assist-
ance to the railroad project. The syn-
dicate is composed of twenty-five of
the most substantial men of the city
financially and came to the rescue of
the road when the total subscriptions
reported to the mass meeting was still
short of the amount needed. The
members of the syndicate are willing
however to divide their subscriptions
with any one who has not had a
chance to subscribe and have placed
the matter in the hands of Mr. Car-
rington.
A complete list of the subscribers
will again be published in the news-
papers and will also be Inserted in a
pamphlet soon to be issued in which
the story of the campaign in aid of
the road will be re-told. The Hat of
subscribers will also be printed in
large type on cardboard to be framed
and hung In the offices of business
men so that there will always be
prominently before the people of Sar.
Antonio the names of those who have •
sufficient Interest In the welfare of
their own town to aid it in a crisis.
While there will he no attempt to
boycott those interests which have per-
sistently refused to aid the project the
people who have subscribed and those
who have conducted the fight win
stand by one another trade with one
another and generally aid one another
Insofar as they may be able. The
men and interests who refused to aid
San Antonio are in another class and
the people who did come to the as-
sistance of the city desire to make It
plain to those who refused that they
cannot meet on equal terms.
HONEYWELL MAY
SHRI SUM
Major Buell Thinks Weather
Conditions Will Be Favora-
ble by Tomorrow.
"It is likely that favorable condi-
tions will exist either Sunday or
Monday for Lieutenant Honeywell to
undertake his effort to break the
world’s record in the long distance
balloon contest.”
This statement was made today by
Major Buell head of the weather bu-
reau of this city with whom Lieuten-
ant Honeywell has been in consulta-
tion the past ten days waiting for
him to make the announcement of
the favorable weather. The storm
areas that have hovered over the north
and east In the territory over which
Lieutenant Honeywell expects <0
travel in order to capture the Lahm
trophy are now disappearing and it
is thought by Major Buell that at
least by Monday the trip can safely be
undertaken.
The start will be made from the
gas plant in this city and everything
has been in readiness for the start
since the arrival of the lieutenant the
only delay being the unfavorable
weather Now that these conditions
promise to be favorable there Is no
other obstacle in the way. and the
adventurer Is ready and anxious to
make the start. *
The longest distance balloon record
ever made was that of Count de la
Vaux who sailed from Parts France
to Kelff. Russia several years ago.
Count Kelff. however was In no con-
Count Vaux however was tn no con-
test. and the Uhm trophy for the
world’s record is held by Hawley and

Louis to some point in the wilds of
Canada last year. Their record was
only a few miles short of that of Vaux.

SO CLUE IS HUSO
IS HLIMM CASE
No clue has developed in the kill-
ing of Robert T. Taliaferro engineer
at the government ice plant which
occurred at an early hour yesterday
morning in the post grounds a short
distance from the plant where he
had been engaged for almost thirty-
five years. The government officials
are conducting an invetsigation. bui
up to the present time have been un-
able to discover any clue that might
lead to the aprehenslon of the as-
sailant.
Recent investigation leads to the
belief that robbery was not the mo-
tive for the assault upon Taliaferro.
His watch and money were found in
his clothing at the post hospital. Tal-
iaferro was found lying in a pool of
blood between a long row of wood
stacked about five or six feet high.
It was through this path that he had
gone many times to and from his
work. A small stick of wood measur-
ing about three feet in length was
found near the body. It is thought in
view of the fact that no other motive
has been discovered for the crime
that Taliaferro came upon some wood
thieves. To prevent their discovery it
is thought they struck down Talia-
ferro in the darkness.
The funeral will be held at 5 o’clock
tomorrow afternoon.

INCENDIARY SETS
FIRE TO BUILDING
An incendiary fired a one-story
frame building owned by W. P. O’Con-
nell and located at 527 Austin street
at 3 o’clock this morning. The fire
was discovered by R. M. Bass who re-
sides in an adjoining building and was
extinguished by Fire Chief Wright
before the damage to the building and
contents reached $lOO. The damage is
partially covered by Insurance.
Mrs. Bass was awakened this morn-
ing just in time to see a man hur-
riedly running away from the build-
ing through an alley. She called to
her husband who also saw the man
and who discovered the fire raging
in the rear of the building. Investi-
