THE ALDERMEN" MAY APPROVE
TODAY PROPOSED CONTRACT
BETWEEN CITY AND COUNTY.
The Council tills afternoon will consider
a contract defining the rights and respoti
nihilities of tbe city and county in the
construction and maintenance of the pro-
posed $250,000 hospital to bo owned in
common and operated by the county for
the benefit of both.
Tie contract was drawn by the County
Attorney aud the City Attorney under the!
direction of the County Judge aud the j
Mayor, advised by the County Commis-
sioners and the Aldermen.
Roth the city and county must approve
the plans for the building and the bidder
to whom is awarded the contract for their
erection. The architects and the superln
tendent of construction are to be appointed
by the county subject to the approval of
the city, and the city is to have un archi-
tect especially to advise it.
The management of the institution after
its erection is to be vested iu the countv
for the benefit of both. If the county
should fail to maintain and operate the
institution properly, provision is made for
the city to assume the management, of it,
reversing the condition of the contracting
parties.
Bach is to appropriate $125,000 arid
transfer to the other a half share in the
lot on Morales Street on which now stands
the present City Hospital, ou which lot
It is proposed to erect the new institution.
(k?orge K. Gillette, City Attorney, will
present to the Council for consideration
amended franchises granting to the San
Antonio Belt. & Terminal Railway Com
puny a right of way over certain streets
by ( which the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
Railroad expects to reach its proposed mil-
lion dollar terminal station on Flores
Street. It. is said the amended franchises
will contain provisions in regard to the
amount of money to be spent by the rail
toad in the projected improvements. It Is
not expected the Council will pass the
franchise today.
Mr. Rise he. chairman of the Committee
on Health and Sanitation, probably will
present an amendment to the code of
jhealth regulating the sale of milk and
other dairy products. The Hoard of Health
lias been working on the proposed ordi-
nance several weeks. It is said it will in
elude many desirable features not now
embraced in the municipal law.
The engineer will submit to the Alder-
men for consideration a general report on
the paving situation, with the names of
streets on which contracts have been let.
but on which property owners have not
signed for the contemplated improvements.
A few weeks ago the Council went on rec-
ord as favoring the cancellation of streets
then awarded, not signed by today. It Is
•Xnected that the report of the engineer
Will show a score or more of streets In
auch condition and that its reading may
be the signal for important changes in
the paving plan.
The clerk will open bids to pave va-
rious streets in Prospect Hill, including
"West Houston Street, consideration of pav-
ing material for which at the last letting
of contracts provoked sharp discussion
and a division of the Council.

Says Theft Committed
in Name of Halloween
That a lot. of petty thievery is commit-
ted under the guise of Halloween pranks
is the idea of William F. Stiles. H* says
that bovs imbued with a sense of mischief
often do a lot of harm.
"Saturday night boys stole a lamp from
my automobile," said Mr. Stiles. "Now,
I do not think this is funny. In faet. if
the youngsters are not warned, I am afraid
they will land in the penitentiary. I be-
lieve in letting the boys hare plenty of
fun and all the enjoyment they can, but
when fun extends to stealing, I think it
ought to be stopped."

TO * IS BELIEF
SAN ANTONIO WOMAN RETURNS
FROM COLOGNE CONVINCED
GERMAN CAUSE IS JUST.
TELLS HER E
Mrs. Johanna Kalteyer lias returned
from a six-month sojourn In Germany,
where she visited her daughter, Mrs. Stella
Kalteyer Welnzheimer, in Cologne, and is
now in her home at 332 King William
Street. Mrs. Kalteyer went abroad with
her son and daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Fred
W. Cook, who returned at the outbreak of
the war, but she preferred to stay longer.
"When I finally decided to come 1 found
considerable trouble finding a vessel ou
which to sail," said Mrs. Kalteyer. "Trains
are being operated on all the railroads In
Germany, but the movement of troops
must have first consideration. Travel is
necessarily slower than usual, and my
train was fifteen hours going from Cologne
to Rotterdam, a trip that usually takes
only five hours. At Rotterdam I was un-
able to find a vessel on which to sail,
the British having stopped all the steam-
ers, and after waiting tnere a long time I
had finally to come on the Red Cross ship,
Red Cross, a very small boat in compari-
son with the splendid German ocean steam-
ers, and we had a very rough journey, oc-
cupying about thirteen days."
SAYS GERMANS ARE RIGHT.
Mrs. Kalteyer expressed her firm belief
In the ultimate victory of the German
arms. "The Germans will take Culais
and soon London will be burning," she
said. "The fault lies with the British,
with whom the Germans have sought al-
ways to maintain harmonious relations.
Emperor William did his utmost to pre-
serve peace, but the crown prince told nim
a year ago that Germany would have to
fight for her rights. The Emperor did
not want any war, but it was forced on
him by the Russian Czar and then Eng-
land Joined in. Many nations have com-
bined against the German people, but they
are in the right and must win."
Germany is remarkably tranquil con-
sidering the fearful war that is being
v.aged on nearly every side, according to
Mrs. Kalteyer. "At Cologne," she said,
"the schools have reopened, although they
are crowded because it was necessary to
take many of the school buildings to use
for hospitals. When the war began several
grocers thought to charge higher prices,
but the government quickly put. a stop
to this and now maintains a supervision
over all prices, which are very reasonable.
When the war called the men from the
farms, the University students, the big
school boys, and even some of the smaller
ehlldren went Into the fields to help get
in the harvest. Young women of the city
took the places of the letter carriers who
went to the front, and many even learned
to drive street cars and are driving them as
well as the men.
GERMAN PEOPLE LOYAL.
"You never saw such loyalty as the
German people are showing. Servant girls
drop their slender earnings in the l»oxes
provided for contributions to the army
and little children give their money in-
stead of spending It for their own pleasure.
The fir*t thought Is f< r the Fatherland.
The government, provides for the families
of all men called to enlist in th* army and
there is less suffering from poverty in
Germany today than may be found in many
cities in this country. The saddest feature
of life in Germany is the death list pub-
lished daily In .black letters. Nearly every
family in Cologne Is mourning the loss
of one or more loved ones. A woman I
knew there already has lost two sons, and
others have lost fathers and sons. The
slaughter going on Is fearful.
"Cologne is one of the best fortified
cities in Europe, yet after the. war had
begun Germany spent 52,000,000 marks to
strengthen the fortifications, in Cologne
the Germans are caring for 22,000 Russian
prisoners. They are well treated and fed
as well as It Is possible, bread and
water morning and night and a hot meal
in the middle of the day. They are bet-
ter fed and better treated by the Ger-
mans than when serving in the Russian
army and many of them voluntarily sought
to be made prisoners to get away from
the Russian service. They are mostly very
ignorant and very dirty and few of them
have any love for Russia. There are many
French and English prisoners also in
Cologne. T have wondered why the Ger-
mans do not put them to work instead of
feeding them in idleness.
FOOD SUPPLY AMPLE.
"England and France are short of food,
but Germany has an ample supply for at
least a year. The government Loped to
avert war, but was prepared if war should
be forced on Germany, consequently she
now has plenty while the other nations
have little. The war is costing a great
amount of money, too, but the German
resources are large."
Mrs. Kalteyer said there w.to at least
10,000 Americans in Rotterdam when she
was there, nearly all of them trying to
get passage back to America. Many of
them were without funds, too, but the
Red Cross at The Hague was trying to
care for all of them.
Mrs. Kalteyer brought with her from
Germany a quantity of literature, mostly
in the German language, tolling of the suc-
cess of the German army at various
points, and also of atrocities committed
against the Germans. She brought one
bulletin printed in English and issued by
tho Bureau des Deutsehen Handelstages, iu
which mention Is made of the use of dum-
dum bullets by the French and British,
of lies told by the allies against the Ger-
mans, of the bombardment of Louvain, of
Russian Infamy, of French crimes in Al-
sace-Lorraine, of the success of the Ger-
mans at Amiens, of the English Labor
f>arty being asralnst Grey's policy, eoncern-
ng the French money market and giving
a resume of the war situation up to Sep-
tember 7.

ARRIVAL OF NINE MORE FROM
ZAMORA, MEXICO, AUGMENTS
NUMBER TO SEVENTY.
Nine Roman Catholic priests, all Mexi-
cans, arrived in San Antonio last night,
from Zamora, Mlchoaean, Mexico, where
they had been held in prison about two
months. They had chnrges in different
parts of the State of Mlchoaean and were
arrested, it is claimed, by the Carranzis-
tas and placed in one cell in the Zamora
jail. The authorities gave them nothing
to eat, according to their statements, and
the only food they had was what friend - i
supplied. They tell of many indignities
and abuses to which they were subjected,
and some of them appear iu a deplor-
able physical condition.
Four days ago they were ordered de-
J>orted aud sent to the border, arriving In
jnredo yesterday morning and coming
straight on to oan Antonio. They sta.ve'i
last night in a Mexican's house near the
International & Great Northern depot,
and will be giv«n an audience this morn-
ing by the Rev. Father ITume, who will
assign them to temporary stations.
With the arrivals Saturday the number
of Catholic priests in San Antonio, refu-
gees from Mexico, has been augmented to
between sixty and seventy. The question
of providing for them has become a seri-
ous one. The various homes of the clergy
In the city has been taxed to the utmost
to provide proper sleeping quarters and a
number of priests are now staying a.t sev-
eral of the local hotels.

said Mrs. Kalteyer, "and It hat* been im-
possible for the Germaus to send out the
facts to the world to offset the lies sent
out by the British. The Germans are do-
ing all they can to win; they dlaiike war
and they abhor brutality, and though nil
fighting is brutal, they are conducting
the warfare, on their part, according to
civilised rules and to cause as little suf-
fering as possible, but with a determina-
tion to win."

Hoy Scouts throughout the country are
looking for a gang of swindlers who vic-
timised merchants by posing us representa-
tives of the order in a fake advertising
scheme.
"These swindlers have absolutely no au-
thority from the Hoy Scouts of America,"
yesterday said L. W. At lee, secretary of the
Alamo Council. "Merchants in Southwest
Texas should put no trust in them.
At lee is in receipt of the following com-
munication from James E. West, chief
scout executive:
"The swindlers pose as representatives
of the Boy Scouts of America and present
i;n engraved contract on which appears the
forged signatures of officers or the Na-
tional organization. Their plan Is a vot-
ing contest to be conducted In co-opera-
tion with a local motion picture theater.
"It is estimated the swindlers already
have obtained several thousand dollars
from merchants In the East and Middle
West.
"The National or local organizations of
the Boy Scouts of America have no con-
nection with any such so-called advertis-
ing project as these men present. The po-
lice of several cities are looking for them."

With what is reported to have been reck-
less disregard for pedestrian rights and
human life, H. Tolle, a pioneer citizen
of San Autonio, .whose home Is in Tolle
l'laco, off Garden Street, was knocked
down by one automobile and run over by
another on Garden Street near King Wil-
liam Street between 7 and 8 o'clock last
night. The victim of the compound acci-
dent escaped with his life, but he sus-
tained two fractured ribs, a broken arm,
a cut on the bead and numerous bruises.
His condition Is serious, partly because of
his age.
Mr. Tolle was returning home after hav-
ing accompanied his sister-in-law to her
home. While picking his way avross Gar-
den Street, rendered muddy and slippery
by the afternoon's rain, the veteran was
Htruck down by an automobile said to
have been traveling at high speed. A mo-
ment later another car rau over Ills pros-
trate form.
Solon K. Stewart aud F. Frleburg, on
their way to church, rescued Mr. Tolle
from further dangers of the street and,
