PROPOSITION
OF SAN MARCOS
IS ACCEPTED
That Town 6e(s the Baptist Acad=
emy for Bonus of $25,000
by Unanimous Vote.
NO DEFINITE OFFER
FROM SAN ANTONIO
The location of the Baptist Academy of
Southwest Texas will be at San Marcos.
This was the final decision reached at the
meeting of the Baptist pastors of South-
west Texas, which was held in this city
last night. It was carried unanimously
that the college belocated at San Marcos.
San Antonio ministers appeared before
the meeting and reported that they had
$25,000 in sight, but this was not a defi-
nite proposition, while San Harcos did
have such a proposition to submit, which
resulted in the decision for San Marcos.
Three sessions were held, yesterday
morning, yesterday afternoon and last
night. The San Antonio pastors worked
diligently to secure the location of the
college here.
The following report of the committee
was adopted:
At a missionary and educational rally
held in San Antonio March 15-18, 3906, the
committee on location of the Baptist
College for Southwest Texas submitted
a report which closed with the following
finding and recommendation:
"It is our opinion that the town which
secures this school should be willing to
invest not less than one-half of the ini-
tial cost of building and equipment. Aft-
er a thorough canvass of the matter and
careful consideration of the propositions
submitted, we have to report that it is
our candid and deliberate judgment that
it would be unwise to attempt the build-
ing of this school with no more financial
inducement than proposed by the towns
bidding for the school.
"Your committee, acting within the
province granted by the mass meeting
which appointed it, advises, therefore,
the rejection of all bids hitherto submit-
ted as l.eing altogether too low. and sug-
gests that the committee be continued,
that the matter be thrown open again to
be considered at a mass meeting which
this committee shall call at a later date,
and that this committer be empowered to
tape such steps in soliciting and examin-
ing bids ind propositions for the loca-
tion of this school as they may deem
wise and proper."
Four Towns
Made Offers.
Your committee, acting under these in-
structions, planned to take further steps
with referenee to the location of the
school. Two facts were very clear to the
committee: First, that it was unwise to
attempt at this time the building of a
college instead of a first-class academy;
second, to elicit the proper response from
any town it would be more feasible to
submit to them a statement of what
would be required of them in order to
secure the school. When the commit-
tee met to determine the rquirments it
considered thoroughly possible locations
for the school. Through previous ad-
vertisements for bids and private solici-
tation, ample opportunity had been given
all towns in Southwest Texas to estab-
lish a claim for the school. Only four
towns. Loekhart, Seguin, Ganzales and
San Marcos, had made any substantial
offer.
The committee decided that the school
on an academy basis should begin with
a contribution of at l«ast $27,800, the town
to which the proposition should be sub-
mitted to give at least $17,500. This prop-
osition was submitted first to Gonzales,
but was not accepted. Then, identically
the same proposition was made to San
Marcos, with the statement at the time
that the committee would submit to a
future mass meeting the result of its
labors. San Marcos considered the prep-
osition and accepted it. making the offer
on their part, however. $25,000 instead of
$17,500, with the understanding that the
same amount be given outside of San
Marcos.
We recommend, therefore, that the
action of this committee be ratified,
that San Marcos be indorsed by this
mass meeting as the location for the
Baptist school and that this committee
be discharged.
A motion prevailed that the San Marcos
proposition be accepted, provided that
they give In cash not less than $22,500 and
a site, and that they employ an agent for
three years and that the denomination
put in dollar for dollar raised in San
Marcos for the school, exclusive of
agent's salary and expenses. A motion
was also passed discouraging the build-
ing of any other Baptist school in this
section within three years.
A vote of thanks was tendered the
street car company for courtesies ex-
tended. . „ .,
This morning the members of the mass
meeting will go in a body to San Marcos
as the guests of the Commercial Club ot
that city. .

OKLAHOMA WILL BE
RID OF H0NKAT0NK
HISTORIC THEATER AND DANCE
HALL GOES OUT.
Statehood Brings Some Changes That
Are Pretty Well Welcomed in
the Former Free and
Easy Section.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Sept. 18.—
With Statehood less than a year away,
the last of the Oklahoma hankatonks has
disappeared. What the famous old dance
halls were to the '49-ers of California
and their imitators of later years to the
residents of Colorado mining camps the
honkatonk was to the pioneers of the
Territory. It was their wild-and-wooly
do-as-you-please, everything-goes, free-
and-easy theater.
In the early days the cowpuncher was
expected to perforate the gaudy curtain
when the performance lagged or shoot a
glimpse of daylight through the star
performer's sombrero if the interpreta-
tion of his part lacked animation. In
the sensational tragic climax, when the
wild-evcd heroine rushed before the vil-
lain aiid saved her lover from the grave,
the audience was accustomed to rise to
its feet and accompany the shot . with
a volley which shook the rafters.
Then to the accompaniment of the
wheezy fiddle, the six-shooters cracked,
the spurs clinked and the dizzy waltz
was on. the spectators meanwhile hav-
ing stampeded from the balcony and up-
per boxes to the parquette. '1 he dunce
continued as long as the "lick- r" and
the audience's inclination to buy held
out.
Walls Could Tell Tales.
The honkatonk of 'fO played a really
important part in Oklahoma life, if the
walls of these first playhouses were still
standing and were endowed with the
power of speech some mighty Interesting
tales might be told. As a matter of fact
the performances were considerably lens
risque than those of some theaters in big
cities of the East today, though each
"soubrette" mingled with the spectators
after doing her turn and usually she was
equipped with a plentiful thirst.
But it was the blood-and-thunder char-
acter of the honkatonk which gave it its
"tone." In the earliest years everybody
went, armed not only to assist the per-
formers in lending realism to the
climaxes, but because a "brace of guns"
was considered essential to one's personal
attire.
The honkatonks usually were conducted
in connection with gambling houses
where everything on the calendar went,
from chuek-a-luek to faro. Occasionally
a bullet would fly wide of the tragedian's
broad-brimmed hat and lodge, in the brain
of a spectator. Whether its course was
so intended or not was not always
recorded, though the representative '89-er
was a pretty sure shot. But these trag-
edies were incidental.
Need of Versatility Felt.
Particularly in Guthrie, the Territory
capital, me Influence of the honkatonk
was felt even in political life. Within
in walls prospective laws were mapped
out, candidates were "made" and "un-
made," men's careers and destinies were
decided.
In '8t» and the early '00s every town that
was a town had its honkatonk. It seemed
the natural accompaniment of the tented
community. The performers never trav-
eled in companies. Eve ry prima donna,
and every tragedian hustled for himselt
or herself. Occasionally the stage man-
ager would take his turn at leading the
orchestra or assisting the bartender when
trade grew rushing during the intermis-
sion. ending his night's service "sitting
in" for the faro dealer in the next room.
The actresses worked for the dispen-
sers of drinks and accepted the checks
to which they were entitled for every
sale they were instrumental in promot-
ing. Each check was good for 25 per
cent of the purchaser's outlay. There
was no defined ciryuit of honkatonks.
The soubrette stayed in Ardmore as long
as business was good there. Then she

crossed over to Guthrie or Oklahoma City
or Kl Reno, later moving out to Wood-
ward and finally winding up the season
at Fort Worth, 'way down below the
Texas line.
Ever on the Frontier.
The passing of the honkatonk was first
heralded when brick buildings began to
appear. When paved street were laid the
famous old institutions degenerated into
a most profane intimation. For a time
Weathertord. far out toward the western
edge, offered opportunities to the short-
skirted actress and glimpses of the wild-
and-wooly to the tenderfoot visitor still
in quest of the unconventional.
But the permanent banishment of "Mil-
dred, the She-I">evll of the Plains," and
"The Great Original Stage Coach Rob-
bery," came last year. Oklahoma City
had completed a fine new theater, mod-
ern from greenroom to foyer, and the
Chamber of Commerce Induced Bernhardt
to run her special train flown into the
Territory for a two nights' stand. Ex-
cursions were run from every corner of
Oklahoma and at each performance "the
divine" held those people of the once
wlld-and-woolly West spellbound. Then
the clubwomen of the town gave the dis-
tinguished guest a public reception and
the madame assured them that Oklahoma
had won her heart. Thus Mildred was
bested by Sarah.

CONFIRMS THE RUMOR.
Admission of Negotiations for B. & O.
Stock Indicates Harriman's Intention.
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—A representa-
tive of the firm of Kuho, Loeh & Co.
said today that the report that they sold
to the Union Pacific Company the stock
of tho Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com-
pany which that firm purchased from
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company was
premature. Negotiations for the sale are
under way, but not comnletel.
This announcement of Kuhn Loeb &
Co. is the first official statement in con-
firmation of the rumors current on Wall
for some time to the effect that E. 11.
Harrisan is seeking a large interest in
the Baltimore & Ohio. With large hold-
ings in the Chicago & Alton and control
of the Union Pacific and Southern Pa-
cific, the acquisition of the Baltimore &
Ohio would give the Harriirian interests
control of a railroad line from the At-
lantic coast to the Pacific. Mr. Harrlman
and ids associates also have a voice in
the affairs of the Reading, a large block
of that company's stock being held in the
Baltimore & Ohio treasury.
