ORGANIZATIONS IN LETTER CALL
ATTENTION TO STATUTE DIS-
FRANCHISING MANY.
The railway fraternal organizations of
Texas, comprising the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen ami Englnemen,
Brotherhood of Hallway Trainmen,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and
Order of IUilway Conductors, are taking
a band In the election to be hold July L'4
by urging that House Joint resolution No.
1 be supported at the polls. This resolu-
tion proposes an nmehdmeut to the Con-
stitution of the State of Texas authorizing
voters to vote under certain conditions in
precincts other than those of their resi-
dences. They are making a wide appeal
for the support of this QMWMire by sending
out circular letters addressed to the voters
of the State. The letter Is as follows:
"The railroad employes of Texas are
afforded the opportunity to appeal to you
for support for House Joint resolution
No. 1, which will probably have first place
on the ballot to be used at the election
July 24. It proposes an amendment to
section 2, of article (5, of the Constitution
of Texas, authorizing qualified voters to
vote in precincts other than the precincts
©f their residence under certain conditions.
If It Is adopted the previlege of voting
will be given, under strict regulations ana
conditions, to railroad employes, traveling
men and other qualified voters who are
necessarily absent or detained from home.
"A large number railroad employes
and traveling men in this State are dis-
franchised under the present system—not
from any disqualification mentioned in the
present Constitution, not through failure
to pay the poll tax. but simply and solely
through inability to attend the polls.
"There are provisions in the proposed
amendment JTni«%absolutely safo-
gudT'd the purity of the -fwJlot box. The
voter ^way from home desM'ig to voto
must make affidavit of his right to do so,
must present his poll tax receipt, both of

The Fourth of July celebration planned
by the San Antonio Automobile Club will
be held Monday, July 5, at, S p. mM lustead
of Sunday night. This change was decided
on yesterday when it^ was learned Monday
will be generally observed here as a holi-
day.
Each day adds to the importance of this
spectacular celebration and the program as
now arranged presents one of the most In-
teresting ever offered to the San Antonio
public. In addition to the fireworks dis-
play there will be a concert by a fifty-
piece band, a night baseball game, a "bat-
tle royal." daring riding by the best per-
formers from Fort Sam Houston and vari-
ous novelties.
The celebration will be held at League
Baseball Park, which will be brilliantly
illuminated.
Secretary Furlong and his corps of as-
sistants are busy with preparations for
the fete. The fireworks are being rushed
here by express.
Oscar Worthley Is looking after the
"battle royal," which, he says, will sur-
pass anything of the kind ever given in
San Antonio. Nine huskies will enter the
ring. Worth while prizes have been hung
up for the event.
It is expected the special rates which
will be in force on all the railroads on
tiie 4th and oth will draw a large crowd
from outside towns for this celebration,
which will be open to the public. Interest
already Is large In the city and hundreds
are making arrangements to attend thr
festivities scheduled for the night of the
5tli.

discussion will be the bl« Fo.irth of ,Tulv

back to his home precinct with his ballot.
To vole twice on the same day will be im-
possible.
"By reading all of the proposed amend-
ment It will be noted that several im-
portant and commendable chauges are
contemplated.
"A deliberate and widespread effort is
being made to arouse the opposition of tin
2.",000 Mexican voters in Texas to the
amendment. They are being told that It
will disfranchise every Mexican In the
State. As It Is now, Mexicans and other
foreign-born men otherwise qualified, may
vote if they declare, six months In advance
of the election, tfbelr Intention of becoming
eltlzeus of this country. If the amendment
Is adopted by the people such persons will,
and should be, disfranchised. But It will
not disfranchise persons of any race who
were born In this country. The amend-
ment will require that Mexicans and per-
sons born In foreign countries must be
naturalized according to the naturaliza-
tion laws of the United States In order to
vote. This would require a residence lu
this country of seven years, and a suf-
ficient knowledge of the English language
to read and write it. Can any true Ameri-
can citizen object to this? We think not."

EXAMINER VANLANDINGHAM DE-
FENDS MANNER IN WHICH HIS
OFFICE IS CONDUCTED.
Dr. F. A. Piper. Osteopath, 108 Sotedsd
St.. upstairs. Crockett 485. (Advt.)
James Vanlandlngham, examiner of
chauffeurs for San Antonio, believes there
has been "considerable nervousness stir-
red up in a local chauffeur's union on ac-
count of the strict enforcement^ of the
city's traffle ordinances and of the strict
examination that chauffeurs are compelled
to pass for the safeguarding of the pub-
lic right.
eertaln clique of chauffeurs has pe-
titioned the Commissioners to have one
of their number appointed on an exam-
ining hoard so as to take a few matters
of public rights," said Mr. Yanlanding-
nam, "and of chauffeur's rights under
their own supervision, which in a short
time not only would compel most thrifty
citizens to hire one of their members,
but would also compel all drivers to
either belong to their union, or seek a
job in some other city,
"Now, there are apparently one or two
of these members dtssatisfled with the
manner in which that office Is supervised,
because the test put forth by the ex-
perienced examiner now In charge does
not permit a reckless and carefree citi-
zen or chauffeur to dictate how he shall
be interrogated relative to the operation
of a motor car, and such strict enforce-
ment Is unsolicited and disapproved bv
those few. or that certain clique.
"The persistency of flagrant violations
by irresponsible and inefficient driver?
was a precedent to the adoption of the
present traffic ordinances, passed by the
City Council some months ago, and since
that time a number of continuous vio
ators of tiie law has been fined by the
Corporation Court, and if all who vio-
late those ordinances were arrested ev-
ery time there was a violation of the
law the Corporation Court would have
to be many times as large as It is now
to accommodate those who are in oppo
sit ion to such enforcement, and to their
proper examination.
THOSE WHO OBJECT.
"A man who objects when the law
gets a hold of him for reckless driving
is one who does not favor a law gov-
erning those circumstances, and there have
been instances lately when chauffeurs
were arrested and fined and Immediately
became Indignant, because they were un-
able to bring their political friends Into
action, and be released 'sub rosa".
"There are several classes of men In
(he world, and the class which does not
favor the laws governing the traffic ->f
automobiles and examination of chauf-
feurs Is that unable to abide bv the law
which is too strict In Its estimation, tin
public highways today it is true som<-
few accidents may lie avoided bv exercis-
ing diligence and precaution, but the ma-
jority of accidents may be traced to some
cause other than experience In automo-
nlling—to circumstances that prevail
among a few of the chauffeurs and that
cause oftentimes is drink,
"As to the age of drivers of cars, there
ore a few who are but sixteen years old
and there are many colored chauffeurs',
but as this office is now controlled the
youth or the negro stands Just as much
a chance to operate a car, If he or she
answers the que.Hons relative to the oper-
ation of an automobile, as do the ex-
perienced white hoys, and there absolutely
will he no prejudice nor favoritism shown,
but the applicants must satisfy me as to
their capability to drive under all traf-
fic conditions.
COMPARISON OP ACCIDENTS.
"As to accidents, there were 432 In the
year 1U1.1, compared with 132 In the year
of 1914 with 1,100 more cars licensed aft-
!'nVe w»8 created, and among the
1,1. it shows on the records that most of
them were among those who claimed to
be experienced, and belonged to that class
of drivers that disregard public safety,
and had gained their recklessness through
years of experience, and not the novice at
the game who Is usnallv more careful
and precautious because he Is afraid he
will have an accident.
"I was appointed by«the Mavor to do
my duty as chauffeur examiner and I
mil lu doubt as to whether or not the
secretary of Chauffeur's I nlon No. 129 or
a few followers petitioned the Commis-
sioners to have one of that number ap-
pointed on the examining board, or the
( hauffelirs' Union as a whole, for I am
sure there are a number of men In that
organization who are capable men, and
some of the best law-abiding citizens In
the community, and they would agree
with me that the examination Is conduct-
ed fairly, and no partiality is shown
whether be be rich or poor, owner or
chauffeur.
"Now let the business men and own-
ers of machines state to me that thev
are not receiving Justice and their prop-
erty protected by such examination and
enforcement of the provisions of that
section of the traffic ordinance governing
said examination, and I will surrender to
their appeal. I have been In the auto-
mobile business before there was a chanf-
/eurs' union, and let me impress again I
am still in charge of the examination of
_ 'tomobile drivers and intend to run that
£ d to such an extent as to protect the
m ner's property 'and the lives of our
ivlves and daughters who are more dear
to us than all the world, and not for the
benefit of the few chauffeurs who would
be dictatorial and desirous of exercising
methods unfair to motordom of the Citv
of San Antonio.
"In the event I see provisions of the
city traffic ordinances are continually vio
lated by any driver In San Antonio
whether he Is speeding, recklesslv driving
or violating the law In anv respect i
will personally file an affidavit against
him.

SEEK NEW F
OF PAVING BIOS
PRICES ON TOPPING INDEPEND-
ENT OF COST OF CONCRETE
FOUNDATION SOUGHT.
What the Commissioners Did.
Requested contractors to Htihmit In-
dependent paving bids for topping and
concrete foundation on several streets
soon to be awarded.
Agreed to allow paving contractors
the use of the clt.v asphalt plant pro-
vided a reduction in the paving cost is
made.
Awarded contract for the paving of
North Hackberry Street.
Purchased two automobiles for use
of city employes.
Took no action with reference to ap-
pointment of city employes.
Postponed action on jitney applica-
tions until 11 o'clock this afternoon.
Contractors who will submit bids on
July 15 for eleven streets recently ordered
paved by the Commissioners were request-
ed yesterday afternoon to prepare separate
bills for the topping and the concrete
foundation portions of the pavements to be
laid on Avenue C between Houston Street
and tlrand Avenue, Sail Pedro Avenue be-
tween Main Avenue and Locust Street, Mar-
ket Street between Navarro and Main IMaza
and Navarro Street between the San Auto-
ulo Klver and Houston Street.
This change was made by the Commis-
sioners at the request of Commlsisoner
Kearny, who after investigation found it
will be possible to use much of the old base
on these streets. In addition Mr. Kearny
suggested that contractors be informed
they will be allowed the use of the citv's
asphalt plant for mixing asphalt proper-
ties In the event they have not u plant of
their own. Contractors who use the city
plant will be expected to make a reduction
In the cost of the pavement.
The Commissioners agreed last week to
dispose of the jitney question at yester-
day* meeting, but when this subject was
reached they learned so many of the own-
ers of 5-cent automobiles were turdy in
the flliug of new application petitions that
It was decided to hold a special meeting
for this purpose at 3 o'clock tills after-
noon.
APPOINTMENTS POSTPONED.
Once more the officials disappointed the
small army of city employes who are anx-
iously awaiting news with reference to ap-
pointments. Because it was the last regu-
lar meeting day of the month manv were
confident that definite action would be
taken, but the question of appointments
wan not mentioned.
Commissioner Garland referred a petition
of Dine Lehr for n remission of taxes to
City Attorney Gillette. Mr. Garland rec-
ommended that the petition of L. C. Ilouck
for a reduction because of taxes assessed in
error b« granted.
Commissioner Kearny recommended that
tho bid of the Hoacli Manigau l'aving Com
pany of $t,81Vj a square yard complete for
a two-Inch asphaltlc concrete pavement ou
North Hackberry Street between Grayson
and East Commerce Streets be accepted.
This was done, and an ordinance appro-
priating for tiie paving of this
street was passed. Mr. Kearny called atten-
tion to the fact that when a contract was
previously awarded ou this street, for the
same class of material, the total cost was
$1.1*4 a square yard complete.
An ordinance offered by the Streets Com-
missioner forbidding the dropping of
gravel on the newly paved streets was
passed by unanimous vote. Next he of-
fered a resolution culling for bids for the
construction of a reinforced concrete re-
taining wall on the river side of the Cen-
tral Fire and Police Station. Then he of-
fered a resolution accepting for the city
the recently completed bridges over the
river at North and South St. Mary's Street.
The resolution was passed. He recommend-
ed that the petition of J. A. Bitter for a
reduction In the paving assessment against
a triangular lot On South Presa Street
be rejected. Tills was done.
Commissioner Lambert Introduced an or.
dlnance appropriating $11,585 to the San
Antonio Machine and Supply Company for
the purchase of u DeCurey type of gar-
bage incinerator. Tills was in accordance
with the recommendation of former Alder-
man Chapa who was one of a special com-
mittee which visited other cities to inspect
incinerators. Mr. Chapa's recommenda-
tion was adopted by the Council although
the appropriation of the money was de-
layed for tho new administration.
Commissioner Steves offered the weekly
pay roll measure carrying an appropriation
of $3,402.45. ltules were suspended and
the measure passed.
STEVES' POSITION UPHELD.
Mr. Steves read a petition from A II
Cadwallader asklug that the Commissioners
make clearer the ordinance governing the
construction of electric signs, lie hail in
mind a number of recent decisions by Mr
Steves refusing to grant petitions' for
elect rid signs.
"The reason I have refused these peti-
tions In the past,' he declared, "Is because
the signs ha*e not been lu strict accordance
with the law. I see no reason for grant-
ing applications If tbey do not complv
strictly with the law." His stand was
endorsed by the remainder of the Commis-
sioner*.
W. L. Miller, A. E. Tonkin and Charles
Klaus as a committee from South Klores
Street, appeared before the officials with
reference to the proposed routing of the
western outfall sanitary sewer. Because of
the Inability of the city to agree with
property owners on the cost of the right
of way along South Klores Street Commis-
sioner Kearny had In mind a change of
routing. At the committee's request final
action was delayed a few days until an
agreement can be readied with propertv
owner?.
Bids were opened for the construction of
sidewalks along Water and Nucva Street*
and referred to City Engineer Holland for
tabulation.
A contract wns awarded for the purchase
of two automobiles, totaling In cost $1,000
for the use of Garbage Inspector Ituhtoln
and E. A. Kings ley, soon to be pa vine
engineer.

He was an able lawyer, but for the past
few years Ills business and property in
teresta demanded most of his time, and
whether 11 was the erection of a building,
the development of property or the man
agement of a ranch, he applied himself

judgment, bringing about successful re-
sults.
An associate raid:
"In his life there was no show of his
attainments proclaimed by htm, but being
modest in this respect, how much he ac-
complished Is not generally known until
the record Is made up and read. He had
faith In San Antonio and it#? surroundings
and has contributed to Its development.
"Some time before he passed away he
professed the Christian faith and was bap-
tized.
"He seemed gifted with the power to
inspire those whom he touched with a de-
sire to prosper and while he always re-
sponded to the call for the needy, he
would go further and persuade those he
helped to help themselves.^

Batteries B and C, of Third; Depart
Thursday Morning for Maneuver
Camps.
Members of the two batteries, B and C,
of the Third Field Artillery, the only ar-
tillery now stationed at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, are busy with preparations for their
departure early Thursday morning for the
summer maneuver camps.
Battery B will go to Sparta, Wis., where
it will Join Battery A of the same regi-
ment, for the maneuver and organized
militia Instruction camps. Battery C will
go to Annlston, Ala., where It was pre-
ceded ten days ago by a detachment of
twenty enlisted men under First Lieu-
tenant C. D. Daly. Its duties at Annlston
will bo similar to those of B at Sparta.
Battery A went to Sparta immediately
on its return from Brownsville six weeks
ago. The other batteries were held here
because of lack of funds for their trans-

ern Headquarters, ars alert, wide-awake
men—at the proper time; but there is a

all sentries that all automobile* and other
vehicles, save those carrying officers, be
