RESIGNATION OF
MISS DRISCOLL
NOT ACCEPTED
Store To Be
4 rranged
Mrs. Anson Jones, President of
Organization, Writes a Letter
Explaining Her Position.
iNO INDIGNITY HAS
PRESIDENT'S APPROVAL
EpetfaJ Telegram to The Express.
HOUSTON', Tex., April 28.—Mrs. Anson
Jones, President of the Daughters of the
Rupubllc of Texas, declines to accept
the resignation or Miss Clara Drlscoll
from membership in that organization.
The announcement in Houston of the
action of the State convention of the
Daughters in session at Goliad a week
ago, in which the custodianship of the
Alamo was given to De Zavala Chapter,
and the subsequent announcement that
Miss Drlscoll had resigned, created a tre-
mendous amount of interest among la-
dles in Houston interested in the work of
organization.
According to the action <>f the cony n-
tion, Miss Drlscoll was t<> remain cus-
todian of the Alatjo until November,
when the custodianship was to go to
the De Zavala Chapter <>f San Antonio.
Miss Driscoll promptly tendered her
resignation of the place, forwarding
her resignation to Mrs. Anson Jones,
president.
Mrs. Jones replied with the following
telegram:
"Miss Clara Driscoll, Menger Hotel,
San Antonio, Tex.: Your letter received.
I decline to accept your resignation. Let-
ter will follow.
"MRS. ANSON JONES,
"President Daughters of the Republic of
Texas."
Mrs. Jones' Letter
to Miss Driscoll.
The letter which followed is as fol-
lows:
"Houston, Tex.. April 26. 1906—Miss
Clara Driscoll, San Antonio, Tex. It is
with sincerest regret 1 have learned of
your resignation as custodian of the Al-
amo at a meeting of the Daughters of
the Republic of Texas at Goliad, which
action you felt forced to take on ac-
count of discourtesies shown you by a
part of that body while in session.
"1 wish to assure you that any indig-
nity placed upon you by this association,
of which 1 have the honor to be presi-
dent, or any member as a member of tin
Daughters of the Republic of Texas, is
not approved of by me, for to you we
owe a debt of gratitude. You came to us
in our hour of need and your noble act
stands for itself.
"I trust you will allow me in my de
clining years to once more thank you
and assure you of the high regard in
which you are held by myself and the
Daughters of the Republic of Texas as
a body for all you have done, and urge
you to continue in the work you have
so nobly undertaken. Believe me, sin-
cerely yours,
"MRS ANSON JONES,
"President Daughters Republic of Texas."
WILL MAKE CONTESTS.
London Company Representative Says
Insurance Corporations Must
Protect Existence.
Newt M. Smith, agent for the North-
western Assurance Company of London,
who is making a tour of the State to
meet his local agents, said Saturday
evening the insurance companies will
very likely contest paying losses to pol-
icyholders for property destroyed by
earthquake at San Francisco and other
California points even though an earth-
quake clause be included in the policy.
This, he says, will be necessary to avoid
losses heavy enough to force many com-
panies into bankruptcy,
Mr. Smith says many companies will
sell stock below par to raise money to
pay their losses while those which are
forced out of business will in the major-
ity of cases be bought up by older and
stronger companies. He expresses the
opinion that not many policyholders will
lose.
Mr. Smith says the insurance interests
will work through committees which will
decide on the matters to be contested
in the courts and will pass upon ques-
tions as to which claims will be paid
without dispute. On account of the su-
perior strength of the American com-
panies the foreign companies will not
antagonize them, he said, and the de-
cisions of the stronger American com-
panies will be authoritative.

PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
Date for Adjournment Fixed ana
Rules Governing Debate.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.—The third
Pan-American Congress, which Is to
open at Rio <Je Janeiro, Brazil, on July
20, will close Sept. 1, regardless of un-
finished business which may be on hand
at that date. This is the most important
provision in the rules of the congress
which has just been completed by Sec-
retary Root and representatives of the
South and Central American countries
which are to participate in the congress.
A five-minute rule is also to prevail in
the deliberations of the congress, thus
making It possible to prevent indefinite
debate on the many questions to be con-
■iderefl, which will doubtless provoke a
great variety of opinion.
