BEGIN CAMPAIGN
AGAINST TICKET
BROKERS IN CITY
First Arrest Is Made by Police
Upon Warrant Sworn Hot
by Fair Official.
HEARING TODAY IN
CORPORATION COURT
Active war on the ticket brokers be-
gan yesterday with the arrest of J. A.
Snicker, a ticket broker on Alamo Plaza.
He was arrested on a warrant signed by
J. M. Vance, secretary of the Interna-
tional Fair Association. Warrants wore
issued for three other brokers, but It
was decided to make a tost case of one
of the brokeand the fate of the others
doing business In San Antonio will hinge
upon the verdict.
Snicker will be arraigned before the
Corporation Court this morning. He Is
charged with "exhibiting, offering and
advertising railroad tickets for sale with-
out being an agent authorized by tlie rail-
road companies to do so." The charge
is drawn under the third section of the
city ordinance prohibiting ticket scalp-
ing.
Mr. Vance appeared before Clerk Bra-
den of the Corporation Court Saturday
afternoon and swore out throe warants.
One of the wan ants was made out
against a man named Shelley, but it was
discovered that a mistake had been made
and the man wanted was named Snicker.
The affidavit was changed and given to
Policeman Sobieski to serve. He found
Mr. Snicker at the Southern Hotel and
placed him under arrest. He was imme-
diately released upon a nominal bond
and was instructed to appear at the Cor-
poration Court this morning.
The other warrants were not served
and will be held pending the decision in
the test ease. If a fine is assessed
against Snicker, every ticket broker in
town will be arrested.
The arrest is the first aggressive move
in the campaign. Every effort is being
made by the Fair Association to prevent
the selling of return tickets by brokers
during the Fair.

Japanese Species Particularly Adapt-

Edward W. Knox, president ot the
Horticulture Society, arrived in tins city
yesterday after a trip north, ot tins city,
wmcn lie made witn the object ot study-
ing tiio adaptability ot the soli to the
culture ot oranges
He spoke interestingly ot his trip and
ot tne observations he had made. He
said: "1 teel certain that Southwest
Texas is a very good Held tor the cul-
ture ot oranges, especially those ot the
Satsuma variety.
"in my recent trip north ot San An-
tonio, my observations lead me to firmly
believe tnat tins variety can also be suc-
cessfully grown in other t>arts of the
stale, wniie visiting Mount Seiman in
Cherokee County, t saw a satsuma trea
inore man ten years old which was bear-
ing protuseiy. Tins tree had withstood
colil and irosts when in© thermometer
had dropped as low as zero, without ap-
parent damage.
"i attribute; the hardiness ot this par-
ticular tree to the tact that it had been
grafted on citrus tritonata stock, whic 1
is a wild deciduous orange tree and a
native ot Japan, in the autumn it sheds
its leaves and the sap descends from the
trunk to a great extent, making the tree
less sappy than formerly and rendering it
more immune rrom the bad etrects of
told weather and trosts.
"it is the tendency ot the liner varie-
ties, when grafted on tins hardy stock,
to assume the properties ot the Japanes
tree, and they are thereaiter able 10
withstand more easily adverse climatic
conditions.
"In consequence of these observations
1 strongly recommend that ail citrus
iruits, such as oranges, grape truit and
lemons, be gratted on this stock.
"The growing of the Satsuma orange
in this section of the country is not any
longer in the experimental stage, as suc-
cess equal to or greater than that which
has been met with in California and
norma nas been experienced in growing
tins truit all along the Ciult coast coun-
try.
"The place referred to at Mount Selma
is owned by s. K. Mch.ee, who has be-
come so enthusiastic over the possibili-
ties ot grafting standard varieties of
oranges on the tritonata stock that he is
going 10 bud an this stock on hand to
the Satsuma orange and establish a largo
grove at that place. Mount Seiman is
bil miles northeast ot this city."

FORMER PASTOR IS
GIVEN OVATION BY
HIS CONGREGATION
Kev. John M. Moore, Builder of
Travis Park Methodist Church,
Addresses Old Friends.
SERVICES IN CHURCHES
ARE WELL ATTENDED
Rev. John M. Moore, managing editor
of the Christian Advocate of Nashville,
Tenn., and former pastor of the Travis
Park Methodist Church of San Antonio,
preached In the pulpit of his former
church yesterday morning.
Rev. Mr. Moore built the Travis Park
Methodist Church through hos own per-
sonal efforts, and was a most popular
pastor. He went from San Antonio to
Dallas about five and a half years ago.
where he lived for four years, following
which he was honored with his present
position. Dr. Moore has no pastorate in
connection with his present duties. He is
a son-in-law of Rev. B. Harris of this
city.
The former San Antonio minister spent
only yesterday here, coming to this
city from Yoakum, where he attended
the meeting of the West Texas Metho-
dist Conference. He did not preach in
the evening, but left at 9 o'clock last
night for Amarillo, and from there he
will tour Arkansas. Georgia. Florida hail
the Carolinas. before returning to Nash-
ville.
He preached before a crowded church
yesterday morning. His was a philosoph-
ical sermon, lucidly bringing out the sole
purpose of life from the standpoint of
living in accord with the ideals of Chris-
tianity. holding the life of Christ as the
pre-eminent example. He said that the
lowly Nazarene knew life because he
knew the Creator of Life.
Must Love His Brother.
Choosing his text from Colossians 3:11.
"But Christ is all In all," Dr. Moore said
in part:
"Life is one continuous <fuiz. The last
hea.t beat of the soul of man keeps ask-
ing. 'What does It all mean?* Man tri^a
to discuss the meaning of life. Why this
growth of institutions; the rise or em-
pires? Why these destructions that conic
sweeping away commerce and govern-
ments?
"The sweep of years brings an outline
of the real issues of life. We once thought
the obiects of the kindergarten, the dif-
ficulties experienced with the multipli-
cation table and "fractions, and so forth,
all had Important meanings at the time
wo undertook them, but these meanings
are over to those of us who have passed
them. They were good at their time, but
were simply a means to a greater end.
It is so in'all departments of life. We
are beginning to find, as years oass.
what are important. Pleasures and things
we once considered profitable are now
worthless.
"Time makes us realize what real
things are: life becomes real and earnest,
and not merely a playtime. The native
instincts of self-assertion devolve a rela-
tion to thinking beings. Man must pre-
serve himself and his family, and at the
same time love his neighbor: a love that
the Great Teacher said should be equal
to the love of himself. Man -must asser*
his own personality, but must have
means of considering others. How shul
we come to an adjustment of these re-
lations in everyday life?
God in Everything.
"The world and its forces continue to
bring about great results for humanity
and civilization. Wars and social dis-
turbances result, somehow, in progress of
e uplift of truth. Man is com-
pelled to say that underneath it all is_tho

strong arm of the Infinite Being. Only
the Intellectually and spiritually blind,
deaf, feeble and evil-possessed can disre-
gard the continual strivings of a life
to reach an ideal goal.^he spirit of prog-
ress and development has always marked
humanity. Man wants to solve the prob-
lems and bring his life to a moral per-
fection. The great apostle in ills text
offers Christ as a solution of all prob-
lems, the explanation of all life, ihe end
of all hope. Thinking, man's process of
relating himself to truth and all realltv,
has never reached its loftiest heights and
greatest depths, except through the mind
of Christ.
"His attitude toward truth and the
world has always been that which every
honest investigator must adopt. He knew
the world because he knew its Creator,
and the source of all Its powers. He
brought the world to perfection In his
own moral life be pursuing those avenues
which would reach the Maker. He found
the keys of the mysteries by putting God
at the center of all life and all creation.
Christ came, not merely to make men
pious; he came to make them live truly,
perfectly. Religion has to do not merely
with ordinances and ceremonies, but with
the true, issues of the highest life. Philos-
ophy. lAan's explanation of the world,
has never maintained any premise that
opposed the life and thoughts of Jesus."
WORTH OF EDUCATION.
Minister Saya Church Will Be Ready
to Do Her Part.
Rev. Arthur L. Odell, pastor of the
Madison Square Presbyterian Church,
chose "Education" as the, theme for his
morning sermon yesterday, adapted from
Job 2S:28, "Behold, tho fear of the X^>rd,
that is wisdom; and to depart from evl.1
is understanding."
Rev. Mr. Odell said; "It Is sad to see a
satisfied mind, a mind which has no vis-
ions, no plans for better things, which
Iibn no difficulties because no progress Is
being made, where no Ideal keeps calling
It ahead. And it is pathetic to find the
educated egotist, one who is all and all
within himself, who has no need of more
training, education, no sense of depend-
ence on God or man. The one begets
sadness because of ignorance, the other
lends to pathos because It is senseless
conceit and neither extreme helps us.
save to lead us to the true Idea of edu-
cation.
"Education means to lead or call forth.
It Is the development of the Innate
powers of the person. It Is not the addi-
tion of external facts, but rather is the
assimilation of all that Is capable of
making one more efficient In work and
more capable of enjoying this world and
life.
"Education, then, is to develop the abil-
ity for knowing. The child sees things,
hilt It is later whsn It comee to use
them and appreciate them. The more we
know about the world and men the more
fascinating and interesting ought life to
become. The primitive man stood und
looked at the oak without much Interest
or Inspiration, but the modern man looks
while he thinlse about all the wonderful
processes and powers at work In the
making of that oak. and his look ha; so
much more of life In It. So It Is all along:
a man should see more In the world and
In men, should be able to do more with
both, and should be the happier man be-
cause he Is an educated man, that Is, the
man who has his latent powera devel-
oped.
"A true education develops the Imagtna-
tlon and does not kill It aa la sometimes
thought. Not one of the systema of
thought could have keen unified with-
out the power ot the Imagination Not
any of the great theories of science can
be understood without the power of the
Imagination. Astronomy would be. impos-
sible without the power to picture the
whole heavens. We study history and
appreciate, often remember it, because of
the ability to picture the countries and
the battles. The atomic theory and Ihe
molecular theory of chemistry and
physics are developed and understood
through the imagination, and all creative
work is first seen in imagination and
then brought into visible form. And all
this makes life more Interesting, and the
future is made more real and brought
nearer.
"Then, if an education Is to call forth
that which in within us. it must of
necessity call forth the greatest and pre-
dominant element of a man. the religious
side. It ought to be that the man who
sees deepest Into life sees more of what
God is doing, and so becomes the most
religious man. And that has been the
leading experience of history. In times of
depression and doubt it has been the
trained man who could understand life
and the world who has been able to lead
the people through, and did not loose
faith in (Sod.
"Moses, leading the children of Israel, is
a good example which has been repeated
several tlm s in history. It may be that
the educated man has never graduated
frlm a school, but he is trained, in that
his powers have been led forth.
"Now education of this type is our
work and aim at the present time. It.
is the prayer and aim of the oarent that
the child shall have a better training
than he had in youth, and the ambition
of many a youth is to know about him-
self and about the world. And we are
proud of all our colleges and universities
with their facilities and opportunities for
the young, but how does all this apply to
the call for- money to educate the min-
istry of the church. Simply in this way.
They are the ones who are to preach to
the youth who are receiving the educa-
tion of today, and to do the great work
of the church in the coming generation
they must have thorough training. They
must be trained to be broad-minded, to
lie interested in world-wide movements,
to be interested in men and movements
and able to meet the times as they keep
abreast with the world. No man will be
able to hold the attention and respect of
the men of tomorrow unless he is equal
to the other men of thtt( time in train-
ing and thought.
"Since only 5 per cent of our ministers
come from homes capable of giving them
an education, it is nothing but right that
the church should at least be as liberal
with them as the Government is with
the men who are to go into the army and
navy, for whom it provides means for a
thorough training. And the church will
be ready to do her part as through all
the past she das done In the training of
h*r ministrv. The education and work of
the Apostle Paul ought to teach us all
of the power of a man with a talent
trained in the school that had God before
it as its guide and Father."

Defensive warfare is important, but it

Rev. J. C. Felger Preaches Before
Large Congregation.
Rev. J. C. Felger, pastor of the
English Lutheran Church, preached a
forcefu sermon yesterday, dealing prin-
cipally with morality as one of the great
Issues of life in this modern world.
Rev. Mr. Felger preached to a large
congregation, and said in part:
"When the eyes of aged Simeon fell
upon the infant Christ in the temple,
with religious fervor he said unto Mary.
'Behold this child is set for the rise ana
fall of many in Israel.' This prophetical
statement showed Its truthfulness already
In the founding of the Christian Church,
i the day of Pentecost, when the Holy
lost came upon the disciples giving

their uttersnce of speech in different lan-
guages, how sharply did those opposera
of Christianity accuse the faithful fol-
lowers of Christ with drunkenness.
"The thoughts of the enemies of Chrtgft
are usually set upon the perishable things
of this world. What a blessing It would
be if they could. prayerfully meditate
upon the weighty question of old, 'What
shall it profit a man If he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?* The heart
of a Christian Is not centered i thta
world and the accumulation of itt -»lth.
"The true follower of Christ lavs up
his treasure In Heaven, thus following
the injunction of our Savior, who says,
•Lay not up for yourselves treasurer upon
earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt;
and where thieves break through aa*

In Heaven where neither moth nor n't
