Wednesday's Parade.
Without Question the parade of the
plumed Knights Templars through
the streets of Temple and the series
of drills executed for the entertain-
ment of the large crowd which pack-
ed the sidewalks, was one of the most
spectacular ever witnessed in this
city. There were 500 plumes in line.
At the head of the line mounted on
spirited animals rode Sir H. B. Rob-
ertson of Dallas, Grand Marshal, and
his aids, Sirs Chas. S. Cox, R. R.
Campbell and J. C. Mitchell. Follow-
ing the marshal came the Temple j
Concert band of thirty pieces. After j
the band the plumed Knights took
their positions. First came Austin
Cornmandery No. 1, Dallas Cornman-
dery No. 6, San Antonio No. 7, Belton
.No. 23. McGregor No. 35 and Temple
Cornmandery No. 41.
At the rear of the marching knights
Were a score of gaily decorated auto-
mobiles In which were seated high of-
ficers of the order, In company with
Templar's wives, sweethearts and
children. Many complimentary ex-
pressions passed the lips of the spec-
tators as the automobiles, cohered
with bright regalia, drove by.
Opening of Cornmandery.
After the devotlanal services at the
First Methodist church, where a large
congregation gathered to be greeted
with beautiful and aproprlate decora-
tions In keeping with the occasion, the
inarch was again resumed. As they
1 paraded an Avenue A they formed in
open rank and with raised swords
maintained a passageway through
which the officers of the cornmandery
passed on' their way to the Temple
theatre wher° the Grand Cornman-
dery was formally opened.
The visiting ladies were the guests
of Temple to an automobile ride yes-
terday afternoon, ten packed cars
conveying the, guests from point to
point of interest.
Elks Gave-Dance.
At the Elks lodge rooms last night
a large assemblage met and skipped
the light fantastics to a wee hour this
. morning. A reception was tendered
the visitors prior to the ball. At the
Masonic Temple R. E. G. C, J. Jeffer-
son Davis and other high officers
were given a reception earlier in uie
evening.
The Temple Candy company main-
tained open house in honor of the
visiting Knights Templar yesterday
and practically every person in at-
tendance at the Grand Conclave in-
spected the home of "Mello Mint."
Souvenir boxes of sweetmeats were
handed the guests on their rounds of
the plant.
The Ceremony at the First Methodist
Church.
One of the most beautiful and in-
spiring maneuvers of the parade yes-
terday was performed at the end of
the march in front of the church,
when the marchers were formed in
open order, lining each side of the
street, thus forming a lane of bril-
liancy and color through which came
majectically moving in powerful au-
tomobiles, Grand Commander J. Jef-
ferson Davis of Galveston and his re-
tinue—members of the official family
In review of the spectacle, through
gleaming swords held aloft at atten-
tion, waving plumes of spotless white
and walls of blue clad Templars. En-
tering the church the Grand Officers
were followed by the Sir Knights in
marching order, who soon comfor-
tably filled the auditorium of the spa-
clous edifice. Above, In the balconies
and galleries, which were filled to
overflowing, were Interested specta-
tors, the friends and relatives of those
seated below. The devotional services
that followed are as much a part of
the annual conclaves as are any por-
tion therof, and are most interesting
and Impressive. The address of wel-
come yesterday was delivered by Hon.
W. O. Cox, and responded to by Grand
Commander J. Jefferson Davis, and
from there on the services were ritu-
alistic In their nature. The Grand
Commander and the Grand Prelate,
Rev. Jno. K. Black of Paris, aided by
the attendant Sir Knights in respons-
ive readings, conducted the services.
The annual address of the Grand Prel-
ate was a powerful and eloquent ex-
hortation and admonition that served
to deeply move and affect the vast
congregation. Concluding the service
shortly after the noon hour, the
Knights filed from the church and
again forming in order took up the
line of march to the Temple Theatre,
where every seat on the lower floor
was occupied when the Grand Com-
mander called the conclave to order
In its first business session.

NEW YORK, April 15.—District
Attorney Charles S. Whitman is de-
termined to bring former Police Lieu-
tenant Becker to trial for a second
time on the charge of having insti-
gated the murder of Herman Rosen-
thal, for whose actual killing the four
gunmen paid the death penalty on
Monday. It was expected his motion
in thhe supreme court today would
be opposed on the ground that Beck-
er's trial attorney was about to retire
j and that new counsel would need
| more time in which to become fami-
j liar with the case.
i Joseph A. Shay, who prepared the
appeal on which Becker gained a
new trial, yesterday notified the Beck-
er family of his retirement.
The district attorney's office is in-
vestigating charges made in the con-
fession of "Dago Frank" Ciroficci, a
a short time before he was put to
death for his part in the murder of
Rosenthal. The police department
was requested to bring "Dollar Bill"
John Langer to headquarters for a
conference.
Langer, a personal friend of Rosen-
thal. was marked for death by the
gunmen on the day preceding the kill-
ing of Rosenthal, according to unof-
ficial reports of Ciroficci's confes-
sion.
Mary Ciroficci, sister of "Dago
Frank," yesterday told of the last
hour attempt of her mother to save
her son and how she wrung from him
the confession which she hoped would
win executive clemency. The young
woman would not divulge the names
mentioned by her fcrothef as the
actual murderers of Rosenthal, but
from other sources, it is known that
he named "Lefty Louie" and "Gyp the
Blood" and Harry Valloon as the
men who fired the shots, The sister
also told of her brother's firm belief
that his part in the murder, that of
an accessory, left him innocent of
actual murder.
Funeral services for Ciroficci were
held today.

I turning from Granger where the W.
j O. W. county association of William-

the accident occurred in the pres-
ence of twenty persons on Universi-
ty avenue.

JUAREZ, Mex., April 15.—The
defeat of the combined federal
forces by the rebels at Sau Pedro
dc las Colontas, state of Coahulla,
with federal losses estimated at
281)0 killed and wounded and 700
prisoners, and a rebel loss ro-
ported at <150 killed and wound-
ed. it is pointed out here, was
really the culmination of the bat-
I tie of Torreon uliieh began oil
March 21.
When General Velaseo, the fed-
eral general in charge, evacuated
Torreon April 2, his army was
practically intact and the retreat
enabled him to join the reinforce-
ments which had failed to reach
j 10in at Torreon and to that ex-
tent the evacuation was a suc-
! cesslnl maneuver.
In any event Velaseo. after his
retreat, was much stronger and
] more dangerous than before, for
i at San Pedro he had with him
the columns of General Jailer de
Moure, Benjamin Argumucdo,
Kmelio P. Campa, Mariano, Ruiz,
Carlos Garcia Hidalgo and Joa-
quin Maas, a total of twelve or
fourteen thousand troops.
While desultory firing he^an
almost as soon as the federals left
Torreon, General Villa gives the
duration of the battle p.-opcr as
six (lays, culminating with the
flight of the federals last Mon-
day.
The disorder In the state of af-
fairs in the Torreon region is il-
lustrated by tlie fact that \ Ilia's
report of victory required 21
hours to reach General Venu-ti-
ano < arranza, first chief of the
revolution, at Chihuahua.
The federals are re|H>rted to
have r- ired eastward in the di-
rei<.,,n of Saltilio and Monterey,
and it is thought, repaired the
railroad In that district before
the battle. The federals destroy*
eil the market building and the
property of the late Francisco
Made ro before retiring.

SAN ANGELO. April 15.—A

IMPROPER MOTIVES ALLEGED
[ WASHINGTON, April 15.—Senator
j Newlands, chairman, and Senator
j Robinson, of the interstate commerce
commission, conferred with President
! Wilson today relative to the anti-
j trust legislative program. It was an-
nounced after the conference that
| they, as members of a sub committee,
would submit to the full Committee
soon their draft of an anti-trust bill.
| When the committee would report it
to the senate was not announced defi-,
! nitely.
j Senator Nenlands said he thought
j the bill might be ready within a week
j or ten days but Senator Robinson
j thought it could not be agreed upon
I for two or three weeks.
That the senate committee will not 1
i take the omnibus hill prepared in the
; house as a basis for its measure was
j apparent, howe'ver and there is still
! much doubt whether an agreement
between the houses can be reached
as to a definite course to be pursued
with respect to the proposed trust leg-
islation.
HUNTINGTON N. Y., April 15 —
| Miss Mary Sammis, who lives with
j her brother. Frank, on their Long
| Island farm, awoke early today to
find a man with a bloody axe in his
j hands standing by her bed. She
j recognized him as Frank Fowler, a
j young farm hand who slept in the
' house.
"I've just killed your brother up
stairs," said Fowler, "and I'm going
to kill you, too."
"I've always been kind to you,
Frank," pleaded the woman, "and you
| have no reason for harming us."
"That's right,"answered Fowler. "I
j guess 1 won't kill you. but I'll go
| away," and he walked out of the
j house, leaving the axe behind.
I Miss Sammis stumbled up stairs
and found her brother's body on the
j bed. The police believe Fowler is

WASHINGTON, April 15.—Willi
Prohibition Movement Is
Given Nation - Wide Impetus
WASHINGTON, April 16.—Prohi-
bition advocates today presented to
the house Judiciary committee argu-
ments in support of a constitutional
amendment to enforce prohibition
throughout the United States. They
urged the committee to report to the
, house the resolution of Representa-
tive Hobson of Alabama providing
for the submission to the states for
• ratification of a constitutional amend-
ment directed against the sale or man-
ufacture for sale of all alcoholic li-
quors for beverage purposes.
For three hours men and women
representing states all over the east,
presented their arguments and told
of the progress of the prohibition
<"-ht Tomorrow they appear be-
fore the sub Committee of the sen-
ate Judiciary committee In charge of
the prohibition resolutions.
Led by Representative Hobson the
prohibitionists argued that they sim-
ply were appealing for an opportuni-
ty to present to the people of the
country through the state legislatures
a definite referendum on the liquor
question. They declared that with-
out reference to the merits of the
question the problem had grown' to
such proportions that It Justified such
action. With fifty-five per cent of
the people of the country living In
prohibition territory they asserted the
time had come for the submission- of
the question on a broad national
basis.
Counsel for I. C. S. Makes Grave
Charges Regarding- Bill
Introduced.
BOSTON, April 15.-^Charges that
improper motives were behind the in-
troduction of the bill to regulate and
Control and to prevent fraud by cor-
respondence schools were made today
by Patrick H. Kelley, counsel far the
International Correspondence Schools,
the International Text Book com-
pany and the International Publish-
ing company, who appeared before
the legislative committee on mercan-
tile affairs to oppose the measure.
Mr. Kelly said the bill was aimed
at the International Correspondence
Schools and sought to prevent the cor-
poration from selling stock in other
corporations.
The reason the school sells stock in
other corporations, Mr. Kelley ex-
plained, is because It has to own
mines and other property for the
practical side of Its business.

al committee on vocational educa-
tion in session here today, announced

tion and proof of loyalty In a large
number of southern claims for pro-
ceeds of sales of property confiscated

Panama Canal Traffic.
Washington. April 15.—Evidences
of the extent of the traffic which may
be expected to pass through the
Panama canal are given in figures
made public today by the department
of commerce which show that in 1913 I
two small Isthmian railways carried I
$130,500,000 worth of merchandise |
brought by vessels from the United
Stales and later shipped to other (
parts of the United States and foreign i
countries. Of this trade two-thirds
moved westward.
Only a few American cities parti- j
cipa.ed in the traffic, New Orleans
leading with 484,000,000. San Fran-
cisco was second with $21,800,000 "and
Hawaii third with $18,200,000. Many
shipments were from New Orleans to

SAM SPARKS SAYS HE
WILL SUPPORT MR. RALL
III COMING PRIMARY
majority of the ships of the American
navy under orders today to procede
immediately to the Atlantic and Pa-
cific coasts of Mexico, tlie United
Suites government gave Provisional
President Huerta final warning that
unless a salute were fired to the Suns
and Stripes within a reasonable time
to atone "for repeated offenses against
the rights and dignity of the United
States" serious eventualities would re-
sult.
It was learned touiglit that General
Huerta when apprised by Charge
O'Shaughncssy of the proposed dem-
onstration of the Atlantic fleet argued
that the episode growing out of the
arrest of American bluejackets .at
Tampico was a fit subject for arbi-
tration at The Hague and that ho
would appoint a committee to inves-
tigate the incident
. . President Wilson lu an empluitic re-
ply through Charge O'Shaughncssy is
understood .to have .told .General
Huerta that the time for delay and
evasion had .passed .and that .the
American government would tem-
porize no longer. Administration of-
ficials hold that insults to the flag
aiul questions of national honor aro
not subjects for arbitration.
All information, official and other-
wise, that reached Washington from
Mexico City tended to show that Gen-
eral Huerta was unconvinced that tho
j United States was in earnest and
thought the Washington government
\ as bluffing. Some nntl-American
demonstrations at Vera Cruz and oth-
[ er points were reported,
r Developments here today showed
Sparks j clearly that a determined and force-
ful policy had been adopted by tho
president, which would be backed up
by congress and enforced if necessary
by the army and navy.

Underwent Many Ojierulloiia.
New York, April 15.—The case of j
a remarkable patient was discussed j
today by surgeons at the German skin j
and cancer hospital In reports of the j
death in that institution Monday night 1
ot' Mrs. Steffen Wilson, 30 years old. |
Within alx years Mrs. Wilson under
went 23 operations, the twenty fourth j
proving fatal. It was stated that Mrs.
Wilson was known to surgeons
throughout the city who watched her
case with unusual Interest. Her first
operation was caused by a fall in
which her splnal column was Injured.
A year later a son was born and three
more operations followed in quick
succession. Finally cancer developed,
necessitating the other operations.
Decrease of Social Diseases.
Chicago, April 15.—Since the clos-
ing of the city's segregated district,
nearly two years ago there has been
a reduction of 15,000 a year In the
number of cases of social diseases in
Chicago, according to a report made
public today by the Illinois Vigilance
association.
"There probably were more than
80,000 cases of disease traceable to
vice in Chicago In 1910," stated the
report. "Now, with the district fair-
ly well closed, there are perhaps 65,-
000 cases in a year. This shows a re-
duction of 15,000 cases, due to pub-
licity, agitation and law enforcement
in the notorious districts."
The report was based on Informa-
tion gathered from physicians.
Arranging for Royal Visitor.
Washington, April 16.—William
Caspar, special envoy of Q«»een Eleo-
nora of Bulgaria, was here today to
arrange for the proposed visit of her
majesty to the United States. The
object of her coming Is to Investigate
methods of this administration and
relief work of the poor ana sick.
Mr. Caspar planned to visit Secre-
tary Bryan today to consult him
relative to the attitude of the state
department toward the contemplated
visit of the queen, how she will be
received and entertained. He hoped
to complete arrangements so that she
can aall for this country May 19 or
legislature and the people, and he
does not regard the prohibition ques-
tion an extremely important issue in
this campaign, and on all other issues
he expects to be in full accord with
the Houston man.
Business History
When the future historian wants
to trace the business development
of this community he will natural-
ly turn to the advertising columns
of the filos of the newspapers of
today for information.
Each day this advertising is re-
cording the story of progress. It
is telling of the developments of
trade.
It is recording the progress ot
the men and firm who are doing
things, who • are making history
from day to day.
Advertising is not transient. It
Is a permanent factor in our busi-
ness and social life.
The man or woman who wants to
be up-to-date must study the ad-
vertising columns.
Cruz and even the declaration of a
Pacific blockade shutting off com-
mercial intercourse with the United
States would be fully justified by pre-
cedents in international law.
It was established that no aggres-
sive act such as the landing of ma-
rines or the shelling of any towns or i
the seizure of any ports would bg uti- j
dertaken without authorization from
congress after President Wilson had,
personally delivered a message on the
subject.
The nearly unanimous approval
that republicans and democrats alike
gave the administration's initial steps ,
made it apparent, however, that J
should Bear Admiral Badger find It
necessary, congress would back up
the American navy without hesitation, j
