SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS: SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1911.
th© metropolis of Texas, It was with the
greatest relief that we weut Into the plats
to cheer the final news and hum red fire
over the great event. But 1 tell you that
the consummation of the work of the past
f#w weeks will be of greater meaning and
value to Han .Antonio than the census re-
turns. It will be the mark of commercial
life and prosperity in every way for this
city."
STOCK TAKEN FOR CHILDREN.
Then began the hilarious but very
earnest contest of subscript* ;\ raising
and increase of monetary support by
those citizens who had already pledged
substantial sums to the cause. Every
business, professional and commercial ac-
tivity was represented In the inass meet-
ing and there were several laboring men
present. That the Brownsville railroad
might lack nothing of being tho vital em-
prise of San Antonio the subscriptions,
toward the close of the meeting came
thick and fast from those who had give:
liberally since the list was first made,
"in behalf of our children." The urgent
representations of the workers that tho
opening of San Antonio to the Browns
ville country trade is of greatest im
portance to the coming generation bore
fine fruit in the pledgee made tonight
by San Antonio fathers for those who
are to mako the city great hereafter.
In this manner 124,100 was subscribed in
little more than an hour .and the way
paved for the syndicate of'business men
who would not suffer even delay of the
enterprise for lack of less than 130,000 to
bring about the initial organization for
the Brownsville railroad.
Thomas I*. Conroy was called on by
President Wolff.
"You have passed up the orators and
ask for me," he said. "I merely want to
praise the citizens of San Antonio for
their liberal response to these commit-
tees. Borne have been laggard, but 1 am
sure all would come In if they had time.
They need to read the papers and go
over the llats more. But wo want to
close this big project tonight. So many
men are doing things to help San Antonio
In this that I am sorry "h have not credit
enough to subscribe the needed $50,000.
But I will increase our subscription (Con-
roy & Rice) from $1000 to $2500," and Mr.
Conroy took his seat amid uproarious ap-
plause.
This liberal addition to the list broke
the last bonds of restraint. Mr. Conroy
agsJn arose to urge all his associates to
"come across."
POOR AND HUMBLE SUBSCRIBE.
"Keep this city in the lead in all activi-
ties of the State," he said. "You would
be surprised to know the number of tele-
*.et any 118 away until the
JiO.OOO is raised, if anyone in San An-
tonio has not had the honor of subscrib-
ing, let's give it to them." Mr. Wolff
directed the doors and wlndowj be
closed.
William Cassin, disdaining a speech,
added jtOOO to his individual subscrip-
??»' . giving in all personally, in
addition to the liberal subscription <>f his
company.
L. J. Hart added $1500 to his $2500 sub-
scription taking $1000 in stock.
Dr. Frederick Terrell said that his
name would not appear in many suh-
seription.s to v, >ich he had contributed,
tH^v0 VVOL,ld ta».'< $600 in his own name.
KIRK PATRICK MAKES HOT TALK.
"1 went the limit when I came into
this game for $5000," said J. H. Kirkpat-
rlck. "1 wish r could take $10,000. If
the men of this city want their property
values to remain stable. I tell you they
had better get in this game. We have
shoved the old town as far as it will
go on its sunshine, blue skies and hot
air. We have been encouraged in this
project in sources the least expected.
San Antonio is facing a crisis. There
are men in this city interested In build-
ing a line from (iardendale to Beevlle
direct to divert the Nueces Valley trade
from San Antonio.
"Every man in this city ought to read
the subscription list. There are many men
hero who have fattened on the city's pros
perity and have contributed nothing to It.
They ure prosperous and manv of them
Let -
phone messages from the poor and hum
Die that I have received: 'Put me down
for one share.' Every class of men fn
this city has been aroused by the worn
of committees and the newspapers assist-
ance. Even if this project failed abso-
lutely it would yet be a great thing, for
It has awakened civic pride as nothing
else could. We need the money now—
we've got to have it tonight. The goal is
In sight-
George D. Robbins said that the rail-
road will be the beginning of a new era
in San Antonio, accomplishing an all-Im-
portant feat that has been attempted
many years. He told of conversing with
a man who came to San Antonio eleven
years ago, and being told that, there was
an attempt to build a Brownsville road
at that time, "We will go at a gait we
have never struck before," he said. Mr.
Robbins then called the attention of the
committee to the presence of the new
owner of the afternoon paper in thA city
and suggested that while he might not
add to the company's subscription he
would "give them a tip. Instead. The
solicitors which means every man in the
meeting, took the tip with decided suc-
cess later in the evening.
W. P. McCaleb, president of the West
Texas Bank and Trust Company, added
a cordial encouragement to the work.
A. H. Halff said: "Lock the door and
Five Minutes
Sometimes Makes
A Big Difference
If You Are Suffering the Tortures of
Indigestion and Have to Wait
Until Someone Runs to the
Drug Store for a Box of
Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Free Trial Package.
The instant relief afforded poor over-
burdened stomachs by the use otf a Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet should be a reason for
constantly keepiug a box on hand—at
home and at the office as well.
i Tfc. Stomach W.lcomc Quick Relief.
A Stuart's Tablet not nnly aids dlfwstlon
but It actually do*s the digesting Itself. In
other words, 1t furnishes exactly the same
element* for the digestion of food as the
natural juices of the stomach. The stom-
ach, therefore, is not called upon to do
Wjy at th® work except to churn the Juices
furnished by the tablet and then push the
digested food along into the intestines,
where it will be stiD further digested and
the strength taken up bv the blood to be
carried to the muscles and nerves of the
body.
So by taking a Stuart s Dyspepsia Tab-
let after a meal you give the stomach the
rest it needs in which to mend Itself and
grow well again. And you absolutely
prevent the souring of any food, the forma-
tion of any poisonous gases, belching foul
breath or constipation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have done
■lore for humanity and have caused more
NtJoicftig than any other one agency that
lan be named. -
Every druggist everywhere sells and per-
—recommends Stuart's Dyspepsia

are rich. Let's take this list and look up
the men. Give them our business in every
line. I don't mean a boycott, but if we
show our appreciation of the men who nrp
building up the town, who caiue across
when San Antonio needed help, when a
movement of this sort is started again the
very men who stayed out will be the first
to break Into the list. It is easy to pay
the ft per cent of this subscription now and
part in November. The ready money for
this enterprise will be distributed honestly.
Our people believe the road will be built
honestly, without graft and without san-
dal, and tho men who will be the largest
beneficiaries of it are the men of San An-
tonio who have helped in time of her need."
The subscriptions went on. J. H. Savage
entered for $ftOO. F. W. Cook, saying that
he was not at liberty to Increase his cor-
poration's subscription, took .$1(MH3 stork
individually. From time to time Secretary
Carrington would announce the Increase
and applause was ready for each new help
TAKE STOCK FOIt LITTLE ONES.
At this juncture the happy proposal of
T. L. Conroy, about to leave the meeting,
was made:
"We have not heard from the children
of San Antonio yet," he declared. "Let's
give them their right in this great enter-
prise. I'll take $100 for each of uiy five
children $500."
This was the signal for many feliclta
tions and much funmaking at the expense
of the bachelors and "those without
chicks."
"You may put me down for $333 1-3
for each of my children," Henry L. Halff
said.
"I have no children, but you may make
my mite $1000," remarked W. B. Tuttle.
Subscriptions had now reached $457,900.
"Have there been no twins or triplets
bom in this community lately," asked Mr.
Wolff of the laughing audience of business
men.
A. W. Harrman, Secretary of the Inter-
national Club, followed with $200 for his
little boy and girl.
Lrncst Stoves entered the hall, and on
being told that the road was "lacking
funds and shy of children" at once dou-
bled the subscription of Ed Steves Ac Sons,
adding $5000, while the meeting cheered.
Dr. Frederick Terrell subscribed $200 more
for his daughter, Miss Sarah Terrell.
ItEI) RIGS BY FINES HIMSELF.
There was no longer any speechraaklng,
but the grim determination to raise the
money. A. C. Duuchy doubled his amount
adding $500. R. H. Wester subscribe'!
$100 for his daughter Sam Weller re-
membered his three children with one
share each, $300. Postmaster John J. Ste-
vens had $500 for his children's interest.
"I fine myself $500 for having no
children," W. C. Rigsby said, adding that
amount to his share.
"I have a few houses I want to rent and
I want to increase my property's value
and 1 know of no better way than by add-
ing to the money in this railroad," said
Charles Graebner, entering an additional
$ft00. T. M. Dechman added $200 for his
son T. H. Zaudersou took $300 stock for
his boys.
L. «T. Hart announced that George Buck-
Iin had telephoned him authority to dou-
ble his subscription to $1000—adding $500.
William L. Halff subscribed $200 for his
children.
The firm of M. Halff & Bro. doubled its
subscription—$2500 increase. Pruitt Com-
mission Company added $100; ;T, H. Poto-
nowltz added $100; T E. George the same
amount.
Leon Walthall, for West Texas Bank
and Trust Company, announced the
bank's addition of $1000, making $&»00 from
that institution. United States Seed Com-
pany subscribed an additional J100 to its
entry, made the same day.
"I want to say for my partner. Mr.
Campbell, nnd myself," Mr. Zanderson
remarked, "that If this road goes bv way
of Jourdanton we will give $15,000 cash
bonus and $15,000 In land. Mr. Wolff said
that the generous offer would be referred
to tho committee of twenty that will
plan the building of the road.
"If the $500,000 is raised tonight," said
Mr. Lapsley, "1 will subscribe $1000. I'm
going to take a list of these subscribers
to Missouri with me tomorrow and it
would not look well if I were not on it."
It is of interest to note that the last
of the subscription campaign brought
forth 126 subscriptions, but very few of
which were additions to funds already
pledged, totaling $32,700. Mayor Calla-
ghan, city, county and other public of-
ficers added their subscriptions cheer-
fully, and on every hand was seen un-
bounded confidence in the proposed con-
struction and intelligent recognition of its
value to tho city. Every occupation and
concern was represented in the lnst day's
harvest, and more than anything else, it
spoke eloquently for the support of the
citizenship of San Antonio.
Following is the complete list of sub-
scribers to the stork of the San Antonio
and Mexico Construction Company at
$100 a share, that will be organized to
bring about the railroad to the Browns-
ville country—corporations, firms and in-
dividuals being credited with the total
amount subscribed up to and including
the mass meeting last night:

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 81.-Otto
Praeger, staff corespondent for the Dal-
las-Galveston News, tonight failed by just
five votes of election to the standing
committee of newspaper correspondents
for the Sixty-second Congress. He was
defeated by Robert M. Gates of the Mem-
phis Commercial Appeal, th3 only other
Southern candidate.
Mr. Praeger was reared in San Antonio,
was for a number of years on the edi-
torial staff of The Express, and was city
clerk of San Antonio under Mayor Mar-
shall Hicks. He was brought out as at
candidate by newspaper friends.
With the exception of Mr. Gates, the
new standing committee of five, which
will central tho Senate and House press
galleries for two years, is made up of
Northern and Eastern newspaper m$p.
Mr. Praeger and Mr. Gates were arrayed
against each other for the Southern mem-
bership, and the vote stood 74 for Gates
and 70 for Praeger.
Kouncelor Brooks of the Fort Worth
Record, the only woman newspaper
writer admitted to the press galleries,
cast a vote in today's election. It was
her first vote, yet she is not a suffra-
gette.
