CASE IS UNDER ADVISEMENT
Suit of Salvation Army Against City
Officials Rests With Judge
Seeligson.
Testimony and argument In the case
tt the Salvation Army against Mayor
L'allaghar., Building Inspector Dlelmann
end Chief of Police Van Riper w&re con-
cluded in the Fifty-seventh District Court
st noon Thursday, and Judge Seeligson
took the case under advisement.
Judge Seeligson was engaged Thursday
afternoon looking Into the authorities
presented by counsel and will probably
announce bis decision today or tomorrow.
Ko matter what the decision Is the rase
will be taken on appeal to the Appellate
Court.
The hearing consumed the greater part
Of four days, the Salvation Army seek-
ing to obtain a permit for the erection
»f a rescue home on River Avenue near
Brackenridge Park, the site for which
teas donated to the Army by George W.
Brackenridge. The Army made a fight
against the city's ordinances which pro-
hibit the establishment of rescue homes
srithln the city limits, and attacked the
constitutionality of these ordinances.
Commenting on the fact that the Treas-
ury Department in Washington i« pre-
paring to Issue a new series of emer-
gency bank notes, J. Muir Jr., president
of the Lockwood National Bank, ex-
plained that this new Issue is not In
reality an emergency Issue, based on
oommsreUU seourttlss Instead ot Gov-
ernment bonds, but that the Govern-
ment merely is issuing this new series,
secured as before, on Government bonds
deposited with the Treasurer of the Unit-
ed £tnt«s.
' We have not yet received any bill
from the Government for any new plates
for this bank." said Mr. Muir, "and our
Inst consignment of new bills docs not
specify they are of the new lsmie, 'se-
eured by (lovemmcnt bonds and other
securities.' "
NO UNFAVORABLE BFFBCT.
"Should the occasion ever arise when
the National n;uiks would want to issue
emergency currency under the new act. '
saiii N. S. Graham, president, of the
American Bank and Trust Company, "I
do net believe It will have any effect on
the monetary conditions; that is, un-
favorably. The Government will be am-
ply protected. Hut, In truth, the securi-
ties put up by the bank* for this emer-
gency currency will not be as strong as
were the securities put up by our banks
I.ere during the panic of 1907. when we Is-
sued cashier*' checks. Then we put up
II.'.Of'O upon which to Issue but $1C.UOO in
ci-shiers' checks, and every bank In the
city was an endorser of those notes. The
Government now, however, In time of
strrss, will allow a bank to issue this
new series of currency up to the par
value of securities deposited. It does not
nefm to mo there is any question at Issue
in tills case of the Government merely
preparing plates for a possible emer-
gency that ma}' be inUresting to the pub-
lic," ho concluded.
When Congiese, following the panic of
1007, passed the emergency currency act,
it was nut generally known the notes is-
sued under the autliorltv of that law
would he put Into circulation until a time
of stringency occurred.
As a matter of fact, however, the Treas-
ury Department is engaged in issuing
these notes in a perfectly proper way and
with full congressional approval. It is
net generally known the department has
already Issued a total of $318,505,730 of tho
new emergency notes, and that this largo
amount Is now in actual circulation.
KNOWN AS EMERGENCT &ERIE8.
Although the new bills are known a«*
the "emergency series," they are not
really emergency notes at all. Looking
forward i© thw time when it might pos-
sibly he neocssary to take advantage of
the emergency features of the new law,
Treasury Department officials realized
1he sudden insertion Into the currency of
a nsw form of bill would be apt to In-
crease rnther thin allay uneasiness. For
that reason they concluded to prepare in
advance for such an cccuslon by with-
drawing fr» m circulation all the out-
stai.dlng National bank notes and re-
printing them In the form decided upon
for the real emergency currency.
This task will be appreciated when it
Is noted there Is now outstanding of Na-
tional bank currency a total of $702,-
807,4S9. Besides printing now bills to take
the place of this large volume of cur-
rency. the law requires that, the Treasury
Department should keep in stock, on re-
seive, $4*00,000.000 of the emergency bills
for issue when a possibly recurring
stringency might arise.
This means when the department start-
ed the work it had to print an aggregate
of $1,300,000,000 in bills. Of this amount
$318,000,000 hits already been put into cir-
culation and there are $470,000,000 held In
the Treasury as an accumulation toward
the required reserve.
REPLACES OLD HAWK NOTfeS.
Every new bank that las been organ-
ize j dig-lug that period tas been supplied
with the new form of currency, and as
fast as Hie printed stock rf the old har.ks
of the old form becomes exnausted the
new Irsu.s r.re put out.
There Is little difference between tho
eld and the new bills. They are tile
siime size and color, but whereas the ohl
National bank currency bears upon Its
feoe tho aasartion It hi secured by United
titans bonds, the new b'lls say they are
secured by "United States bonds or other
securities."
Every National bank In tne country
must have new platus m-ule In ord<" to
. ffect tlicse changes. Each plate costs
$7f, and as there are 7000 National banki
coins business In the country, eacl one
(f which luts to have from two tr four
pUitei. It can be teen the engravers are
busy.

LAW PROTECTS MAIL BOXES
Might Cost $1000 Fine and Year In
Jail to Hitch Horse to
One.
If San Antanlana would avoid difficul-
ties with the Federal Government it la
a good plan to keep away from njall
bootee unleas there la some mail matter
to be posted In them. The ultimatum has
gone forth from the offloe of Poatmaater
Stevens and It Is all the renult of reports
coming Into the postoffloo Thursday
morning of seven wrecked mail boxes.
In each Instance it seems a fractious
horse was hitched, to the iron post sup-
porting the mall box. At least tne
amount of wreckage did not set well
with the postmaster, and he has asked
the oo-operaUon of the police In arrest-
ing those persons who hitch their horses
to mall boxes.
All the postmaster asks of the police
Is that an arrest be made. The Federal
courts will do the rest. And there Is
also a rather heavy penalty attached to
the wrecking of mall boxes. Tho Judfjo
ran assess a fine of $1000 or he can in-
flict a Jail sentence of a yisar, or If the
circumstances warrant he can make it
both a fine and a Jail sentence. '%iat Is
the Federal statute concerning the de-
facement of malj boxes.
The statute la far reaching In lta effect.
For Instance. It might be worth 11000 to
scratch a match on a mall box. It la
Just as expensive to Inscribe your name
or initials on the box, and no one can
tear away ever the paper card which
Hives tne hours of collection without
facing a Jail sentence or having to pay
a fine If the Federal authorities havo
the evidence.
According to Mr. Stevens the mutila-
tion of mall boxes must stop even If It
requires extraordinary efforts to attain
the dualled ends.

to widen, Tnursday voluntarily donated
ttiuoo toward the general fund whhih is
being raised to meet the expenses of

Tho contribution was a surprise to tho
soliciting committee, as the members
had not expected property owners out of
the district to contribute. But the dona-
tion was accepted with much thanks. Mr.
Woestmnn sunt word to I). J. Woodward
to call at his office, that he desired
to converse with him In regard to the
movement for the widening of Commerce
Street. When Mr. Woodward met Mr.
Woestman the latter informed him that
he desired to sign a contract donating
ffiOiti tti the general fund.
"This voluntary donation and public-
splrtted act by Mr. Woestman is greatly
appreciated," said Mr. Woodward. "It
shows that Mr. Woestman has at heart
the welfare of tho city, and also shows
that It is realized by Mr. Woestman that
the improvement will be of benefit not
only to the property owners in the dis-
trict to ho improved but to the entire
city."
The general fund has now reached
$50,150.
The committee expects to have more
contracts from both the north s'do and
Bouth side owners signed up today. A

WANT A MISSOURI DAY.
Texans From "Show Me" State Say
Folk May Come.
Missouri is probably the best repre-
sented State in Texas. As comparatively
few of the citizens of Texas wrere born In
Texas, r ost of them feel a certain pride
in the State from whence they came, and
Mlssourians being probably the most nu-
n erous snd having nr thing to blush about
when their native State Is mentioned have
a. great deal of pride. Therefore, they
would like to have a Missouri Day at
the coming International FnJr. They
will t'ike formal action looking toward
the formulation of a request for recogni-
tion at a meeting to be held this after-
roon at 6 o'olock In the office of R. G.
Callahan, in the Glbbs Building.
The Mlssourians behind the movement:
believe 1t would bring several hundred-
more persons to the Fair this fall, and
might attract sufficient attention to bring
Governor Folk of Missouri to San An-
tonio lo make a speech on that day, In
which caso ail of Texas as well as Its
Missouri colony would be Interested.

SAYS A.IR PUMP WILL HELP.
Pearsail Man Thinks It Success After
Seeing It Work.
••The compressed air pumps beta* to-
stalled at Pearsail to pump water from
the wells for Irrigation purposes are go-
ing to do wrondere for that country," said
J. Buttles, a real estate man of that
place Thursday afternoon. He Is staying
at the Maverick Hotel. Recently Mr.
Buttles sold a large tract of land there,
which will be Irrigated by the new pro-
cess by a company purchasing it.
"It works all right in every way," con-
tinued Mr. Buttles. "The compressed air
pump makes the waiter flow from the
well, no matter how low It may be, and
thus Insures plenty of water as long as
there is any under the surface. It doesn't
depend on wind, as the old windmills,
and is better in every way."

TWELVE HUNDRED BUYERS
COME TO SAN ANTONIO

OPPORTUNITIES IN TEXAS.
Advance Guard of Excursionists
Reaches Here and Most Favorable
Comment on Prospects of the
Great Southwest Is Made.
Twelve hundred land buyers and pros-
pective land buyer* from Nebraska
Kansas and Oklahoma are in Texas on
thirty-day excursion tickets.
Forty-five of the visitors arrived In
San Antonio Thursday, coming here over
the Galveston, Harris burg & San Antonio
Lailroud from Houston, and th«*y say
that 11.any of them will not return to
their homsfl in the North* that Tszas
suits them and they will stay here. The
excursionists assembled at Kansas City,
where they boarded a train of the Mis-
souri, Kansas Sc Texas Railroad, divided
into three sections. All the excursionists
w*re headed for Southwest Texos, and
since reaching the Empire State they
divided, Home going to Houston, others
to Galveston, Corpus Christ! and other
cities. But all of them expect to visit
San Antonio some time before the ex-
piration of their tickets.
DEMOCRATS ARK MAKING GOOD.
In the party reaching San Antonio
Thursday was J. G. P. Hildehrand, one
of the proprietors of the Daily Reporter
of Lincoln, Neb. Most of the party are
iiom Lincoln, whore Mr. Hildehrand says
lives the next President of tho United
Stated.
"Speaking about Mr. Bryan," said Mr.
Hildehrand last night, "ho is, In my opin-
ion and in the opinion of the majority of
the people of Nebraska, the greatest
living Democrat. I am a strong admirer
of Mr. Bryan ai»d I believe that he will
be clected President of the United States
at the next election."
Mr. Hildehrand for thirty years has
taken part In politics in Nebraska. He
says he is a Democrat of the most vlt-
rollc type.
"Nebraska went Democratic at the last
State election and the administration so
far has not made any failures in carry-
ing out the platform promises."
BIG OPPORTUNITIES IN TEXAS.
Continuing. Mr. Hildehrand said rela-
tive to Texas end her prospects: 'Many
of our people In Nebraska and In Kansas
have been attracted to Texas by her fine
climate and splendid sotl. Many of them
have already purchased land In Atascosa
County and others will buy while on the
present trip. They are here looking for
homes, desiring to get away from the
cold winters of the North. The entire
party is highly pleased with the trio po
far and they are enjoying themselves
luigely. There are splendid prospects for
the future development of Texas, and
it is a common remark that opportunities
are greater In San Antonio ami this part
of the State. San Antonio is recognized
bv tho people of the North as being the
Ideal commercial center of the South.
New Orleans and Atlanta do not stand
for the amount of public commercial
strength, rapid strides and opportunities
as are presented In San Antonio and the
country contiguous to it.
"Personally I am well pleased with
the splejjdld and large opportunities of
this great Southwest and the unlimited
development of the land between Houston
and San Antonio."

ralred in respect, and tho same debonair
tnjoyment of his own acting. Max Fig-
man appeared at the Grand (Jpera. House
last night In his popular production. "The
Man on the Box." Mr. Flgman would be
good unywhere and at any time, his
every expression i.nd gesture conveying
a distinctive message to his audience, itis
cast, however, is wei>k. and requires ev-
ery Inch of the splendid work of Mr.
Flgmati to make up for their deflclen-
e'es. With the exception of Sidney Price,
who takes the part of Col. George Anne. -
ley, a retired army officer and one of
the best In the cast, the company pre-
sents all new names. Miss Lolita Reb-

Miss Robertson Is an extremely pretty

chargeu by the physicians in the city
and county, and has as Its purpose the
unification oi the charges tor medical
services, making the system fair to all
pnysli laps and patients alike, A move-
ment has bem contemplated to fix these
fees for sevtial moiuns, uut no definite
action has been taken before. This
rating of the fees is calculated to pro-
tect certain patients, and at the seme
time prevent physicians undercharging
merely for policy.
The legislative committee reported a
Mexican physician who is alleged to bo
practicing medicine without the proper
credentials from tho city and State. A
motion was carried to Inform the man
of the different phases of the law to
be complied with, after which time, if
ho continue* to practice, prosecutions
will bo made by the proper authorities.
