BOARD DISCUSSED THE
H4LFF MEMORIAL SCHOOL
"When deputies of Albert V. Huth, Tax
Assessor of Hexar County, start out
within tlie next few days on their tour
of the county precincts r< mining assess-
ments, they will be full> supplied with
the official blanks issued by the Htnte
Tax Commissioner for procurinjf agricul-
tural statistics. Mr. Huth estimates that
the taking of these statistics will con-
sume more time than tlie rendering of
t;ix assessments and will also cost his
dupaiiment much money, which is not
provided for by the statute covering
this newly prescribed duty of the County
Tax Assessors.
WhUe Mr. lluth thinks that tho Thir-
tieth .Legislature has wrought an injus-
tice to the Tax Assessor by heaping on
this additional .vork without provlling
compensation for it, he said that h*
heartily agrees with Charles it. Whits
of Bonham, president ot the Htate Asso-
ciation of County Tax Assessors, who
1ms written tin open letter to the mem-
bers of the organization re'ative to this
provision of the new law.
"Mr. White urges that the law ought
to be complied with, and th.it is my
opinion « xaetly," said Mr. Huth. "The
law prescribes that these statistics shall
bo taken, and that is sufficient. It may
be that the Legislature ot Texas will
some, day reimburse us. [ think that
President White wro«e a very sensible
letter and has taken a portion that can
not be criticised.
"The proportion is a serious one, bow-
ever. It is not idle talk of a number of
Texas assessors when they say th.it they
would rather pay the penalty of about
SJtO than prepare a full statistical report
on the agricultural conditions of their
counties, i would much rather do it my-
self. out I am going to see that my
deputies comply specifically with the law.
Nevertheless. I have no hesitancy in
saying that the Legislature has commit-
ted an outrage on the Assessors of tho
State.

For Wide Distribution
There are on hand several
hundred copies of the Real Hs-
tate & Industrial edition of
The Daily Express. Every
one should be interested in
giving this issue a wide dis-
tribution. The story it tells
of San Antonio and Southwest
Texas is one of the best ad-
vertisements for this entire
section.
To be had at this office
ready for mailing, five cents
a copy.
I*aid the Assessors as high as $50)0 for
preparing a complete acreage and crop
report. Those reports then could not
have been complete, and were possibly
us much of a tarce as this present gath-
ering of statistics will be. The farmers
over the coiuitry will not be prepare!
lor giving detailed reports relative to the
productiveness of tneir lands, when the
deputies call on tbem to render assess-
ments and the proposition will largely
be guesswork."
B< eaus«* the first day of the year was
a national holiday, the rendering of as-
sessments did not commence until the
day following. For the first day of the
five months prescribed by law for 190s
twr rendering of property, tax payers vis-
ited tne Tax Assessor's office in goodly
numbers. Many of them, after paying
their 1907 taxes in the County Tax Col-
lector's office, went right across the cor-
ridors in the Court House to tho Tax As-
sessor's department and rendered their
property for the new year.
"Of those who have already rendered
thus far there are but few indications ot'
reports that will possibly have to go to
the County Board of Kunaliaation," said
Mr. Huth. "These cases relate onlv to
those who do not want to render their
property near the true taxable value, as
is provided in the lull rendition law."
Tho city guide books for the Dfputy
Tax Assessors ere a little late in being
completed, but will probably be received
by the county department In the course
of a few clays. Precinct assessments will
begin at once. The rendition blanks pro-
vided by the State, according to the new
law. prescril>e the following oath to be
taken by each tax payer, following tho
taking of an inventory of his or her tax-
able property:
"I do solemnly swear (or af-
firm) that the above Inventory rendered
by me contains n full, true and complete
list of all taxable property owned or held
by me in my own name for in this
county, subject to taxation in this coun-
ty, and p Tsonal property not in this
county subject to taxation in this county
by the Inws of this State, on the first
day of January, A. V. 190.., and that I
have true answers made to all questions
propounded to me touching the same, so
help me God."

Seventeen bids for the contract to
build the new school on Austin Street

days, was adopted by the board and or-
dered to be spread upon the minutes,
Tho resolution was offered by Carlos
Uee, and through it tlie regrets of the
board were expressed and the sympathy
of the members extended to the bereaved
family.
A communication regarding the fund
for the proposed Halff Memorial hVhool
was read, but no action was taken on
its contents. The communication deline-
ated the manner in which the school
Was to be founded. Mrs. Solomon Halff
will furnish $40,000, out of which the land
to build the school shall be bought, the
location to be agreed upon by her and
the board. 'Hie land will then be deeded
to her in f^e simple and the board must,
furnish tlie balance necessary to build
a school costing at least $40,000, exclu-
sive of the cost of the land and to be
known as the Halff Memorial School,
or some similar name, in memory of her
late husband, Solomon Halff. When tho
building is completed Mrs. Halff will
dforl it in trust to the Hoard of Trustees
of the city schools, with the understand-
ing that if it is not continued in con-
stant operation and properly kept up
the building, the ground and all im-
provements thereon shall revert to Mrs.
Halff. The board will have until next
August In which to arrange for the
money necessary to be added to Mrs.
Halff's fund, as well as to agree to the
conditions submitted by her.
Examination of Principals.
It was decided to hold an examination
on Saturday, January II, for all appli-
cants for prineipalsnips, and this will
be conducted by Superintendent L. K.
Wolfe and a board of three principals,
which conducted the last similar ex-
amination. Those teachers who took
the last examination may take the one
which will be held on January 11, with
tho understanding that the average of
the new examination will alone be con-
sidered by the board. Many of the
schools are being completed} and princi-
pals are necessary for them. Princi-
pals for the new schools will bo elected
at the next regular meeting.
The resignation of Miss Tilllo Kordzik
as a teacher in City School No. 7, was
accepted and tho congratulations of the
board upon he* marriage were extended.
Thomas P. Price, A. E. Kirkpatrick,
formerly principal of the High School,
and Miss Sadie Green were elected teach-
ers, and will be assigned to Schools Nos.
4, 11 and Reacon Hill, respectively.
Various matters in reference to the
janitor service were referred to the jani-
tors' committee. The hoard authorized
the salaries of the janitors of tho High
School to be based on twenty-four rooms
instead of nineteen rooms, as formerly.
The question of engaging Spanish
teachers for the Spanish classes in the
new schools was postponed for action
until the next regular meeting.
As the Sam Houston School will be fin-
ished within five or Mix weeks bids for
partitions and closets were ordered to
be advertised for.
I>. C. -Chamberlain was elected as a
working substitute in the schools.
Teachers for the new schools will be
elected at the next regular meeting,
until which time substitutes will be em-
ployed.
The question of whether or not the.
new rule in regard to absence of teachers
on account of sickness or death in their
immediate families shall be retroactive
so as to reimburse those who had al-
ready been absent between September I,
1907, the time from which the rule was
ordered to be effective, and the time
when it was actually adopted, was re-
ferred to the finance committee, as was
the question of whether a teacher's sal-
ary should date from the time his or
her certificate was received or not.
On account of inability to agree with
his associate architects on technical mat-
ten* in the construction of the new Higli
School J. Flood Walker last night ten-
dered his resignation as associate archi-
tect of that school and it was received,
with regrets, by the hoard.
Various other matters of lesser impor-
tance were acted upon before the meet-
ing adjourned. The members of the
board present were l>r. M. ,T. RHem,
president; Sani Harris. Carlo* Bee, Nel-
son I.ytle, Dr. A. Rochs and Pablo Cruz.

8HE GOT HER INTERVIEW.
And Then the California Newspaper
Woman Became Calve's Friend.
Miss Velllet of S'.n Francisco, one of
Mine. Emtna Calve's closest personal
friends, has arrived In this city to
await the great singer's arrival on Tues-
day next and to accompany her on the
remainder of her tour throughout tho
United States and Canada. Sho came in
response to a telegram of Invitation sent
from the City of Mexico, where Calve
new is, and is occupying the private car
Calve, which is "spottod" near the South-
ern Pacific station.
.Miss Velllet bus been accounted one of
the cleverest newspaper women In this
country for many years. She was a spc-
cial writer in San Francisco and a. fre-
quent contributor tr> the leading maga-
zines. The circumstances In connection
with her first meeting with Mme. Calve
are especially Interesting.
Sue was assigned by the paper on which
sill' was working to secure an interview
with Calve on the occasion of the hitter's
first visit to tlie Pacific Coast some years
ago when she was singing with the Grau
Grand Opera Company. She was .net ai
the door of the singer's apartments with
word that Madame was Indisposed and
would see no oil". Miss Velllet was per-
sistent and Insisted that she must see th»
singer. The strictly private secretary
said that such a thing was Impossible,
that the Madame had a bad headache and
was lying down.
Miss Velllet managed to shove the door
open a little bit, suspecting that it was
merely a case of "prlmadonitls" and
nothing more serious. She was rewarded
with a sight of the diva 'n a splendid
walking costume, hatted and glo.ed for
a saunter out of doors.
"I am sorry that Madame Is so III,"
she called out in perfect French to
Calve.
The latter turned around, frowned a. hi;
and then laughed with the gayety of a
child at tne absurdity of the situation
She Invited Miss Velllet in, gave her her
opinions on poetry, music and ,art and
clivers other questions and wound up by
inviting her to ainner.

FOUR INJURED
AS HOSE WAGON
TURNS OVER
Firemen of Company No. ft Suf-
fer Serions Hurts While Re*
spondiag to Alarm.
JOHN CREVELLI MAY
N0T SURVIVE SHOCK
Four firemen were seriously injured
yesterday afternoon nt South Alamo and
South Presa Streets by the overturning
of a hose wagon belonging to Company
No. 6. .John Crevellt is lying at Santa
Rosa Hospital and it is feared that his
injuries may prove fatal.
Following Is the list of injured.
John Crevelll, skull fractured, bad
wound on head.
('apt. K. W. Mayes, left leg fractured
above tho knee. f
John McMann, knee cap dislocated.
Fred Black, driver, deep gash on head
and shoulder bruised.
The accident occurred a few minutes
before 1 o'clock. In response to an alarm
at Daniels and South Flores Streets the
hoso wagon was being driven at a gal-
lop down South Alamo Street. At the
junction of South Presa Street the wheels
seemed to strike an obstruction, the cart
skidded and then turned over on Its
side. All of the occupants were thrown
into the street und the frightened horses
dragged the overturned cart down the
street, badly damaging the vehicle.
Rail3 Cause Accident.
Chief Wright, who later made a per-
sonal investigation of the accident, says
the street car rails caused the accident.
At this point the rails protrude three
or four inches from the surface of the
street.
Crevelll lav unconscious in the street
and the other members of the crew were
unable to rise to their feet. All four men
were removed to a nearby drug store,
where Dr. Robert Withers, Assistant City
Physician, dressed their wounds. Ulack
was the only one of the four able to
walk to his home.
An ambulance was called! nnd Crevelll
was removed at once to Santa Rosa
Hospital. Captain Mayes was taken to
his home and McMann was removed to
the engine house at Alamo and Lavaca
Streets. For several hours Crevelll did
not regain consciousness, but later
showed a slight improvement. About §
o'clock he had a relapse, however, and
during the evening lay in a comatose
condition.
The fire whichr\vas the cause of the
accident was not a serious one. An ac-
cident tova gasoline stove In the home
of T. C. winthrop caused a small blaze,
but it was speedily extinguished before
the department arrived.
