Business Men Seeking to Ascertain
Why Texas Is lagging Behind
in Certain Respects.
A meting of the executive committee
of the Texas Commercial Secretaries and
Business Men's Association, of which
W. B. Tuttle and "L. J. J (art of San
Antonio are members, lias been called
by Chairman John L. Simpson of Dallas
to meet it that city Monday, October 16,
at 10 o'clock in the rooms of tlio Chamber
of Commerce. It is possible that Mr.
Tuttle may attend If business does not
prevent.
In issuing the call for the meeting
Chairman Simpson outlines its purpose
as follows:
In addition to the election of a secre-
tary-manager and the fixing of the lo-
cation for the headquarters and the
appointment of the regular committee
for the coming year, the executives will
organize the Welfare Commission, de-
fine the scope of its inquiry and ap-
point the members of the committee.
This move is perhaps the most im-
portant one ever undertaken by the or-
ganization and will result in giving the
men whom we must look to to build
Texas an opportunity for a hearing.
Among the inquiries which the com-
mission will be called upon to answer
are the following:
We have 140,00<» miles of public high-
way and only improved. Why?
We have need of 50,000 miles more of
railroad and there is no railroad con-
struction going on in Texas today.
Why?
We owe $1,10(1,000.000 outside the State
and will have to borrow ten billions more
to develop Texas. The large life insur-
ance companies and .other sources of
cheap money are not doing business in
Texas. Why?
We raise three and four million bales
of cotton per annum and manufacture
only 40,(KM) bales. Why?
There are numerous other inquiries
equally as pertinent which the commis-
sion will endeavor to answer.
SAN MARCOS MAN CONVICTED
J. Jarimillo (lets Five Years on Charge
of Violating Local Option Laws.
Special TelPgram to The Express.
SAN MARCOS. Tex.. Oct. 10.—J. Jarimil-
lo was convicted in the District Court here
this afternoon on a charge of violating the
local option laws and given five years in
the penitentiary. The verdict was rendered
in less tlinp fifteen minutes after the close
of the argument In the case. The case has
been on trial since yesterday morning and !
has attracted much attention. It was closely
contested, there being four attorneys f«»r
the State and two for the defense. Assist -
Ing District Attorney F. S. Roberts were
W. G, Barber. R. 10. McKic and County At-
torney T. J. Saunders. The attorneys for
the defense were Attorneys Camp and
Browne of San Antonio.
The ease grew out of the raiding of
Jarimlllo's place of business on the south
side of the plaza In this city about two
/fiontlis ago. in which was found several
kinds of intoxicants. Strong testimony
was also brought out on-the trial to the
effect that intoxicants had been sold there
for some time,
Ijucy—Papa, whenever T dream of Ar-
thur he appears as a prince.
Papa—Isn't he a ribbon clerk In the

Lucy—Yes, papa.
Papa—Then he must be leading a dual

The army oflcers from Fort Sam Hous-
ton will play an important part iu the
coming International Fair and I^and
Sr'how. and there will be few days when
the army will not be represented in some
of the various features that will go to
make up the Fair.
The officers are taking the keenest pos-
sible interest in the horse show, which
will be held during the first two nights
of the Fair, and they have assured
Ralph Green, who is in charge of the
show, that they will bring the very best
stock from the Post to participate in
the riding, jumping ami polo contests.
Mrs. Ever Johnson. In charge of the
dog show, spent yesterday at the Post
and succeeded In interesting a large
number of officers' wives in the kennel
club and in entering up a fine bunch of
dogs, who make their homes inside the
confines of the big Government reserva-
tion.
Carnival night, November 10. has also
appealed to the men of the Post, and
many of them have made arrangements
to join in the big carnival frolic and
fancy dress ball, which will be one of
the features of the evening's entertain-
ment.
The Post officers are also taking a
lively interest in the State encampment
of Boy Scouts, and they will keep a close
watch on the youngsters while they are
in camp to study the work they have
been taught by their scout masters.
Of course, every army man loves horse
racing and auto racing, and there will
be a big attendance from the Post on
every day that races are run.
MANY BUY COUPON BOOKS
Business Men Are Adopting This Plan
to Aid International Fair.
A large number of the citizens of San
Antonio are taking advantage of the op-
portunity afforded them of aiding the
International Fair Association by pur-
chasing the coupon books of admission
tickets that are being sent out. The
books contain ten regular admission
tickets, and can be used singly or all at
one time. The association decided upon
this plan of raising money in preference
to asking for contributions, and they
expect a liberal response, as they are
giving value received for every book pur-
chased.
The unusually large amount of money
being spent this year to make the coming
fair and land show the greatest exposi-
tion ever arranged by the International
Fair Association, has made it necessary
for the directors to raise large sums of
money to meet the expenses Incurred
before the opening of the gates.

Best for San Antonio.
Secretary J. M. Vance of the Interna-
tional Fair Association -will go to Dallas

Pyron of the agricultural department.

live .stock exhibits, and Mrs. Ever John-
son, in charge of the dog show, will at-
tend the Dallas Fair for the purpose of
securing exhibits.

Fair Association received a letter yester-
day from Monte Morelos, In the State of
Nuevo Leon, Mexico, stating that the
orange growers In that section of the
country would combine Interests and send
a great exhibit of oranges to the Fair

big Mexican exhibits that was not ex-
pected.

The Plaza.
An "April-shower playlet" Is the most ap-
propriate adjective to use in telling about
"The Welchor," being played this week at
the l'Umi by Macklyu Arbuckle. The well-
known star is known as a human actor, a
man who refuses parts which are not
wholesome and clean, and who has never
appeared in any other sort. In "The
Weicher." while playing the character of
a gambler, he is seen as a man with a
heart as big as all outdoors in other
words a human man whose chief fault 1*
his generosity. While, of course, the play
is essentially a comedy. It carries many a
sob in it—tense, dramatic little touches ot
humanity which bring the tears to the eves
or the most blase show-goer. But the tears
are quickly dissipated by some trite re-
mark which brings the sun out and be-
cause of these alternate moments of sun-
shine and shower. "The Welchor" is aptly
termed an April-shower playlet.
Mr. Arbuckle heads the bill at the liaza
this week, which includes soveu high-class
acts from the Majestic circuit.

rare excellence. Mr. Dockstader himself
can claim much of tlio credit for the
hold that modern minstrelsy has on the
public, for he has kept It on a plane of
excellence that Is highly commendable.
While he has Introduced many innovations
which at first seemed rather strange iu a
minstrel show, they were nevertheless wel-
come. and that the new form has proved
popular with the playgoers throughout the
country is amply demonstrated by the1
crowded houses that "Lew Dockstader'*
Great Minstrels" have met with every- )
where Everything about Dockstader'*

of grandeur. Not only are the stace cos-

funny stories and sayings; the vocalists

chcrus. capable of producing sweet musical
effects and the orchestration Is said to be
superb. Mr Dockstader's especial feature

retary of the Board of frade, and J. J
Haynes, collector of customs, all of La-
redo, were present. Only an informal dis-
cussion of matters took place. Congress-
man Garner approved tlio plan of the
Laredo citizens in taking up the matter
with General Duncan, commander of the
Department of Texas, and with the War
Department. The question of congres-
sional action was also considered. Con-
gressman Garner pledged every effort in
his power to help retain a garrison at
Fort Mcintosh.
E. S. Mackln, also a member of the
Board of Trade, will arrive today and the
matter will be further discussed by the
Laredo business men. Congressman Gar-
ner having returned t«> I'valde. Methods
for vigorous action will be adopted.
The business men of l^redo are much
opposed to the removal of the troops
from Fort Mcintosh. They believe the
fort is the logical location for troops,
especially to guard the border. The cli-
mate is healthy and there are ample
railroad facilities for the quick handling
of troops. If soldiers are to be kept
on duty at the border they will argue
that Laredo is one of the places were
they should be stationed. An army post
has been maintained there for many
years.
It is possible that at the meeting today
it may bq, decided that it would be best
to send a committee direct to Washington
to confer with officials of the War De-
partment, or it may be decided to make
an attempt to discuss the matter with
Secretary of WarjStimson when lie visits
San Antonio. These matters will be de-
cided at the conference today.
