Today Profits Take a Rest. Pity Poor New York. George Eastman, a Giver. A Neanderthal Skull. By Arthur Brisbane YOUR list of stocks this morn ing will contain many minus signs. The coal strike has frightened speculators and, like the miners, Wall Street profits are tak ing a temporary vacation. However, those that now sell any thing representing REAL value will feel foolish a little after. There could be no worse time than this to sell anything in the United States that is worth having. THE State of New York pities it self because it pays $500,000,000 income tax, almost a third of the entire national tax. New Yorkers shouldn't forget that if they pay $500,000,000, it is be cause 47 other states send all their wealth to New York banks, spend millions in New York shops and hotels, and allow New York’s high finance to tap with its corporations and its interlocking ownerships the sources of wealth all over the United States. ,Since New York gets the income, it should be content to pay the tax. George Eastman, a valuable citizen whom Rochester appre ciates, has put his energy, intelli gence and wealth back of Rochester’s university. The assets of that insti tution now total $47,000,000, and this does not include recent gifts of $17,500,000 by George Eastman. This is a better world in which men, while they live, work desper ately hard for money only to give it away, in service to their fellowmen. THE skull of a Neanderthal man, dead 20,000 years, and found near the lake of Galilee, proves, ac cording to the very learned Professor Arthur Keith, greatest authority on the origin of man, that the human race started in Europe, not in Asia. ’I'HAT ancient Neanderthal rela tive of ours was about equal in brain size to modern men. Professor Keith wonders whether he was able to use that big brain, and remarks, which may interest you, that the ablest modern men do not use more than one-fifth of their brain capacity. Four-fifths lie fallow, wasted, waiting to be put to work. IN Japan a flier from Moscow land ed within forbidden territory near a Japanese fort. Ho was immediately locked up. A Frenchman was ar rested for landing, against his will, in similar territory. Japan takes fly ing seriously. This country will also (fake flying seriously if fliers ever start from Asia in our direction. TTENRY FORD and his son Edsel, heaven -be praised, are both deeply interested in flying. The older Ford won't object to the statement that his son dragged him into it. They are going to arrange a parade of 20 flying machines across the country, inviting others to join. That will help to wake up the country. The first of the Ford "baby dirig ibles, all-metal, able to stay out of doors all the year round, if neces sary, will be a welcome sight COOLIDGE will leave the coal situation for the present to Congress and hopes there will be no profiteering in the mean time.” So reads the dispatch. That is a large hope, for “in the meantime'’ many dealers have raised the price 50 cents a ton. With the publie, panic-stricken, rushing to buy, that means comfortable profiteering. MOSCOW has learned that Ger many is an educated nation, that its. workmen are thinkers and do not want smashing violence. In consequence Bolshevism has ordered its representasives in Germany, Ber lin especially, to put on the soft pedal and talk Jess violently, to curry favor with German workmen. Forty years of teaching by the so cial Democratic party have taught Germany how to think. That's why they have a republic and will come out of the war's troubles n greater nation than ever. THE world of finance is congratu lating Mussolihi and Italy’s new finance minister Volpi, on the rise of Italian lire, which went to 25 for a dollar yesterday. Now the lire is worth one-fifth of what it was worth before the war, a wonderful achieve ment. On the other hand, if the lire went back to its former value, 19.3 cents, everybody in Italy would be ruined, and Italy's industry would be over whelmed. Finance is a complicated science. MEXICAN LABORITES IN DEMONSTRATION By Universal Service. MEXICO CITY, Sept. 3.—About 20,000 Laboritas paraded before Con gress late this evening, demanding a strict enforcement of the labor clause in the constitution. The parade was also designed to impress Congress with the strength of the labor organization. BIN HIDES 111 HE OF PLANE 4577 VOL. XLV—NO. 228.

"1 ask you all to pray for the Amer ican fliers, down in the Pacific. They are just*as much martyrs to the prog ress of civilization as Columbus would have been, had he perished in his voy age to America,” declared Colonel William Mitchell in a radio address here last night. By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3.— Secretary Wilbur today ordered the proposed San Francisco-Hawaii .flight of the naval plane PB-1 postponed in definitely. The secretary's order was issued to permit continued concentration of ef fort op the search for the missing PN-9 number 1, which disappeared near Hawii Tuesday. The step super ceded a plan by naval officials at San Francisco to start the flight to morrow. By the ANRoclated Frees. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 3.— Search for the missing naval sea plane PN-9, No. 1, which disappeared in mid-Pacific Tuesday afternoon, during an attempted flight to Hono lulu, continued today after over-night reports to naval headquarters from searching surface and aircraft brought only routine messages. Without word upon which to allay fear that the missing plane and the crew of five men might not be found, naval officers today had exploded the fields of conjecture in surmising what happened after the plane was forced down by lack of fuel. WASHED ASHORE, HOPE. The most favorable theory ad vanced was that th.' plane had made a successful landing in the ocean, less than 300 miles off the Hawaiian coast, drifted out of the search area and beached itself on some abandoned island point. The navy withdrew from further attempts to make a non-stop flight to Honolulu from San Francisco when announcement was made here yester day abandoning the projected take-off of the huge PB-1, which was scheduled to start for Honolulu today. TANKS BUOYANT. One hundred and fifty drums of gasoline were landed at Lahainc, the island base from which the air forces werg under orders to conduct the search .to the area in which the big seaplane disappeared. Empty gasoline tanks which proba bly caused the plane's crew to despair of reaching Honolulu, became their hope of rescue when the craft was forced down. It was estimated by the plane builder that buoyancy of the empty gasoline tanks would be suf ficient to float 10,855 pounds on the (Continued on Page Five.) c—- Arj,TONJ^ a r- =7 Member of The Associated Press.

Ohio, Sept. 3.— The wireless operator at ths army barracks here was the last to hear anything from the ill fated Shenandoah. While the giant dirigible was over Cambridge, Ohio, a short distance from Ava, where she broke into three pieces in an air squall, the radio operator on board wirelessed: "I am losing ftiy seat.” So far as is known, that is the last word from the airship. Observers on the ground at Cambridge had reported that the ship was seen to turn over on her side as she drifted to the eastward after having circled that city for three-quarters of an hour in evident distress. 500 ARE HOMELESS AS $400,000 FLOOD SWEEPS EL PASO By the Awnoclnted FreM. EL PASO, Sept. 3.—Five hundred families in South El Paso and three suburban additions nre homeless in the worst flood experienced here since 1897. Damage is estimated at $400,- 000. Water is racing through streets in Lower El Paso as a result of n canal break which occurred late last night. Infantry and cavalry contingents from Fort Bliss are patrolling the streets and aiding in strengthening dikes. The Red Cross is providing shelter for the homeless. Although the crest of the flood reached here early today, the flow is expected to be maintained throughout the day. REMUS, FREED, SAYS HE'S DONE FOREVER WITH BOOTLEGGING By Vniversal Service.

GALVESTON BUSINESS MAN DIES IN S. A. A few minutes /after he had been placed aboard a Southern Pacific train to be taken to his home in Galveston, A. Sucich, retired merchant of the coast city, died Wednesday night. The body was taken from the train to be prepared for shipment to Galveston Thursday for burial. He came here several months ago for his health. He is survived by his widow and six children. TWO FACING CHARGES OF MURDER Mrs. Louisa Garcia Struck With Bar When Pair Rob Home. Mrs. ]<ouisa Garcia. 65. died at 10:25 a. in. Thursday in the Robert B. Green hospital as a result of being beaten over the head with an iron bar by bandits August 21. Simultaneously with hcV death came an announcement from District Attor ney C. M. Chambers that murder charges will be filed against two sus pects held in connection with the as sault. One of thces is the man whom Mrs. Garcia has repeatedly named in her delirious meanings as having been her assailant. DESCRIBES ASSAILANTS. Mr. Garcia, who also was beaten by the pair who visited their home, seventeen miles south on the Corpus Christi road, is recovering from bis in juries. It was he who furnished police and deputy sheriffs with a description of the two bandits who assaulted him and his wife. The assailants had approached the house as friends and asked Garcia to admit them. When he responded they struck him over the hed with the iron bar. He did not regain consciousness for several hours. SAVINGS STOLEN. Then he discovered the inert body of his wife lying several yards from the house, where she also had been struck down by the bandits. The marauders had stolen $45, the life savings of the couple. Two days later the suspects were arrested. They answered the descrip tion furnished by Garcia nnd one bore the name which Mrs. Garcia continued to mumble .until her death. Mrs. Garcia had regained conscious ness only for a few minutes at a time since the-assault. DEATH ENDS GAME OF TAG FOR S.A. BOY, STRUCK BY AUTO Death cut short a game of tag Wed nesday evening.

AUSTIN NAVAL OFFICER LOSES LIFE IN DISASTER AUSTIN, Sept. 3.—Commander Lewis Hancock of Austin was the son of Mrs. Lewis Hancock of Austin, and a member of one of the oldest and most prominent families here. He was married at Wild-* wood, N. J., June 3, 1924, to] Mrs. Joy Bright Little.) daughter of Senator and Mrs. Wil liam H. Bright. During the World War he commanded a submarine, and prior to the outbreak of the war, was engi neering head of the Pacific flotilla of the United States navy. He was born in Austin in 1891 and graduated from high school when 17 years old. He entered the United States Naval Academy the same year, from which he was graduated four years later. He bad been a member of the naval forces since that time. During the war Commander Han cock was in command of a United States submarine which cruised in the English channel and was charged with keeping that passage open for allied ships. After the signing of the armistice he was transferred to the aerial branch of naval activities, and hater assigned to the Shenandoah. Hancock was a member of the crew (Continued on Page Two.)

The message indicated the information has been ob tained from army aviators who had wone to the scene of the diraster. By the Awociated Preaa. x CALDWELL, Ohio, Sept. 3. The giant dirigible Shenandoah is no more. It went down in three pieces here early today and killed its commander, Lieutenant Com mander Zachary Lansdowne and at least 14 of the 42 officers and men making up her crew. The airship struck a line squall—a variety of storm most feared by airmen—shortly after five o'clock this morning near this Noble county village, while traveling at an altitude of 3000 feet en route from Lakehurst, N. J., to the West. Tl*" 5 Every effort was maae here to rush relief to the crew. Aircraft at the Anacostia station on the outskirts of this city, the nearest machines in the naval service to the scene of disaster, were ordered to stand by, ready on notice to start for Ohio with physi cians, medicine supplies and emer gency relief materials. Navy recruit ing officers at interior points were given similar instructions and the officer in charge at Pittsburgh, I a., was ordered to proceed immediately to Ava. NO EXPLOSION. There was no explosion. The big ship simply met winds of a strength which it was unable to combat. After encountering the storm at the high altitude, the ship headed heavenward to an altitude of approximately 5000 feet when it suddenly came down again and broke into three pieces. One piece, 450 feet or more in length, fell in a field about one nnd one-half miles from Ava. The control compartment iu which commander and navigating crew were riding, fell 50 feet away and the third section, 150 feet long, drifted through the air like a free balloon for twelve miles landing near Sharon, Noble county. CABIN DEATH HOUSE. Most of the dead were found in the tangled wreckage of the control cabin where a full crew was on duty at tempting to ride out the buffeting winds which resulted in the complete destruction of the giant of the air. Intense excitement prevailed in the mining community where the ship fell. In an almost unbelievably short time news of the disaster had spread over the entire countryside and roads were black with automobiles carrying doctors, undertakers, officials and the morbidly carious to the points where the various portions of the ship fell. Each part was completely wrecked by the impact with the ground, and (Continued on Page Two.)

A volunteer guard finally was thrown around the debris and a request wired to Columbus for SO men and three officers for guard duty. At Belle Valley, where the bodies of the dead were being assembled un der direction of Lieutenant Com mander Charles R. Rosendahl, grief pre.ailed. Villagers, the drab routine of their existence interrupted, stood about almost unable to comprehend the catastrophe. Soon after word of the disaster reached here, the local American Legion post sent out a guard of honor and the veterans stood watch over the room in which the bodies were taken. AMBULANCES ARRIVE. Ambulances and other conveyances which carried physicians and others to the scene immediately following the accident, were transporting the dead and injured to nearby towns. Those who met death in the unsuccessful flight against the elements, were taken to Bellevalley. while the injured wye scattered in the various hospitals of the community. The story of the disaster is one of heroism of the crew, pioneers in the 7 interest of the development of lighter than air transportation. It is best told by Colonel C. G. Hall, army ob server, aboard the ill-fated ship.

I exclaimed to Com mander Lansdowne. ’Everyone beat it.' When the crash came I was on the ladder leading from the control cabin to the rear portion of the ship. As 1 started to fall, I clutched a girder to which I hung suspended, finally swing ing my body over it and crawling 40 or 30 feet back into the ship.” STORM WARNING LACKING. When he reached the ship proper. Colonel Hall said that he found other members of the crew preparing to open valves in order to bring about a descent. Here he found Lieutenant Ro land G. Mayer, leading officer, and Lieutenant J. B. Anderson, aerologist. The latter. Colonel Hall said, had made his way to the rear on the cat walk. All three descended safely. Colonel Hall said the catastrophe was in no way attributable to any defect in the ship. Meteorological ad vices. warning the navigators of the storm would have saved the ship, he said. Since there were no meteorolog ical stations in the vicinity, however, these advices were not available. At the time of the crash. Hall said, four of' the six engines which pro pelled the air monster, were going full speed. The craft simply met air cur rents which she could not survive. PRAISES NAVY CREW. Colonel Hall voiced high praise for the navy crew of the dirigible. Even immediately after the disaster, he said, the crew's behavior was remark able. Each man took the situation quietly, deporting himself as if he were on a free balloon and attempt ing to bring the craft tn the ground in the best manner possible. In all there were eight men who made the perilous ride on the portion of the ship on which Colonel Hail found himself. It drifted for the better part of a half hour and covered a dis tance of ten miles or more before com ing to earth.

Forty-two Men Face Death in Crash The navy dirigible Shenandoah broke in three pieces in the air while trying to ride out a storm over Ava, Ohio, shortly before daylight this morning. Forty-two men were aboard the huge gas bag when the accident occurred. How many perished in the crash is not yet definitely known. Her commander, Zachary Lansdowne, and her execu tive officer. Lieutenant Commander Hancock, of Austin, Texas, are known to be dead. Because of the darkness, the small ness of the town and the fact that one portion of the dirigible drifted nearly 10 miles before it came to earth, exact reports as to the numb»r of killed and injured could not be learned, even by the governmental de partments at Washington. Advices to the Associated Press from Cambridge, Ohio, a short dis tance from Ava. as late as 7 o'clock, were to the effect that ambulances from that place had picked up ten dead bodies at Ava. This informa tion eame from the telephone operator at Cambridge, who in turn gave her information as the undertaking firm of Meehan and Scott. Later reports gave the death toll as 12. As near as can be computed from dispatches to the Associated Press and to the Navy Department at Washing ton. the big ship broke in two in the middle about 4 o£k>ck in the morning. Reports from Cumberland. Caldwell and Belle Valley. Ohio, all close to Ara. agree that the giant dirigible crashed at Ava just before daylight. These reports gave the casualties as two dead and seven injured.

THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT, AID DISASTER 15 LATEST OF LONG LIST Malignant Fate Has Pur sued Dirigible Type of Balloon. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. The Shenandoah, designed by the Bureau of Naval aeronautics and construct ed at the naval airship station. Lakehurst, N. J., was an improved version of the Zeppelin L-33 and the British R-33 class, of which she was a very close duplicate in dimensions. She was the first rigid airship built in America. Six hundred and eighty feet in length, with a maximum diame ter of 78.7 feet, she contained 19 gas cells with a capacity of 2,115,000 cubic feet. Her -power plant consisted of six .300 horsepower Packard engines, capable of driving her at a maximum speed of 60 miles an hour. The Shenandoah was completed in the summer of 1923 and her test flights were very satisfactory. While attached to her mooring mast at Lake hurst on January 12. 1924, the ship was torn loose in a violent gale when only a skeleton crew was aboard. BATTLED STORM. The whole mooring fitting and part of the nose framing were wrenched out of the ship, the forward gas bag was ripped and the following one was punctured, but the crew had four of the six engines running within two minutes of the breakaway. Fuel and water were released to restore her equilibrium, and she weath ered the storm without further struc tural damage and was again housed in her shed after a few hours. Last October the Shenandoah was given a remarkable test in the form of a trans-continental flight. Leaving the Lakehurst station on October 7. she cruised to the Pacific eoast and returned in 235 air hours, completing the round trip of 8100 miles on Octo ber 25. USED HELIUM GAS. Including a stay of 11 days on the west eoast, she was away from Lake hurst for 18 days. Her actual flying time between Lakehurst. Fort Worth, Texas, San Diego. Cal., and Camp Lewis, at Tacoma, Wash., and re turn, not counting the time consumed in locating mooring mast through fog on two occasions was 235 hours, 11 minutes, against the ffttest express train time between these points of 272 hours, 30 minutes, deducting time for connections. The Shenandoah was inflated with helium gas. which is non-inflammable, non-poisonous and the next lightest gas to hydrogen. This gas. extracted from the natural gas of certain fields in Texas and Kansas, is not found in commercial quantities elsewhere. It is extracted by a government plant at Fort Worth. The dirigible recently was equipped with 10 guns, two in the after-car. two in the forward-cabin from whieh the airship is steered, and one in each of the aix power gondolas. This armament, it was stated, was for use in repelling airplane attack in time of war. The success achieved by the Shen andoah in her trans-continental tour and other test averages led to plans for her use in a United States naval expedition to the Arctic. The plans as drawn up called for stationing vessels filled with mooring masts at Nome, Alaska, and Spitz bergen, the Norwegian Archipelago. POLE FLIGHT ABANDONED. It was hoped she would be able to reach the Pole and her crew waa eager for the trip, but after her storm ex perience at Lakehurst in which she was torn from the mooring post, plans for the Polar flight were abandoned by order of President Coolidge. The United Slates possesses only one other dirigible, the Los Angeles, which was built at the Zeppelin works in Friedrichshafen, Germany. The Los Angeles, however, under the terms of the peace treaty by which ahe was constructed, can be used only for com mercial and experimental flights. The Shenandoah was this country's only dirigible of war. The Shenandoah's metal framework was constructed of duralumin, a com position of aluminum, copper and manganese, having the tensile strength of mild steel with only one-third its weight The outer sheeting was of cotton fabric, aluminum painted, this serving only as a weather protection and streamline for the gas bags with- PRECIOUS GAS LOST. It was (he fear of just auch a storm as overcame the Shenandoah which led the Navy Dei>artment to refuse to send the dirigible into mid-continent during July or August. For that reaSon the trip was deferred until this month, when it was thought danger of heavy wind and electrical storms had passed. Along with the Shenandoah, the navy apparently has lost a precious supply of helium. The Los Angeles has been tied up while the Shenandoah engaged in ma neuvers with units of the fleet off the Atlantic coast and the western flight because insufficient helium was avail able to inflate both ships simultaneous ly. The loss of helium in today's dis aster is expected to mean that the Los Angeles will continue idle for some time.

M'S BUCK EKE BETRAYS GANGSTERS Police Arrest Four for Theft as Parents Probe Son’s Bruises. With the arrest of four youths, all under 20 year* of age, deputy sheriffs believe they have broken the back bone of one of the most active gangs of thieves to have operated in San Antonio in many years. They were arrested as the result of a thrashing administered by the leader of the gang to a recruit to enforce obedience to his laws. The latest theft credited to the gang, and the one which proved their undoing, was the raiding of a hen house in the Harlandalc district. Forty chickens were stolen and sold. When it came time for a division of the spoils a new piember of the gang objected because his share was so ■mall. It was a signal for the leader of the gang to’live up to his reputation. Without loss of words he whipped the contending member. When the youth, who is not quite 18 years of age, arrived home with two blackened eyes and a battered nose his parents questioned him close ly and he confessed his part in the chicken theft. The ease was reported to Chief Deputy Sheriff Alfonso Newton and Deputies F. N. Flores and Snm James rounded up the gang late Wednesday. The officers believe they can con nect the gang with numerous automo bile and filling station robberies.

He was silent on diplomatic matters. “Although when I left business was a little slack because of the summer slump, there was a feeling of optim ism," he said. “All felt that the re sumption of relations between Mex ico and Great Britain, and the es tablishment of the Bank of Mexico, will do a great deal to help business and put more confidence into busi ness men.

The plane had been in the air about 23 hours when it was forced to land. Naval officers early today con firmed reports that the PN-9, No. 3, forced down 300 miles from San Francisco, had capsized while being towed from Crissy Field to Mare Island, where it has to undergo re pairs. Captain W. K. Spear, com mander of the U. S. S. Gannett, was given orders to salvage the giant sea plane. While details of the accident were not learned, it is believed that the bow wave of a passing steamer was responsible for the mishap. The PN-9, No. 3, was towed to Crissy Field early this morning from a point about 300 miles from San Francisco, where it was forced to land Monday, a few hours after the planes took off for the Honolulu flight.

MEXICAN WAR VETERAN IS HONORED Friends Help Old Freighter Celebrate Anniversary at Bandera. Hard fought battles of the Mexican war; the gruelling march with Gen eral Winfield Scott to the walla of Chapultcpec; stirring scenes in Texas history when her pioneers struggled for existence, the red men a constant menace; the fight against hunger and thirst— All these were re-lived as Amasa Clark, centenarian, met his old-time friends, many near his own age, and his children and children’s children to day. At his little home nestling among the Bandera hills, he celebrated his one hundredth anniversary and re counted to his many listeners the “ro mance of Bandera.” FRIENDS GATHER. Friends from half a dozen counties, most of them pioneers, members of the Pioneer Freighters’ Association who "went up the trail” with him, sons, daughters and their children, gathered at the Clark home where so many so cial functions have been held, to help celebrate the memorable occasion. Although it’s Amasa Clark, centen arian. it also is Amasa Clark vigor ous. hale and hearty. Light of step, keen of eye and smiling of counte nance. For hia 100 years sit lightly on bis shoulders. His face is wrinkled, age has left its mark, and the blistering suns of Texas have done their work, but neither age nor weather has obliterat ed the dauntless look, the ready smile which has been his through the century. BRING GIFTS. To the aged man each child brought an offering. Those who live on ranches brought as their gifts products of the soil or of the ranges, those who live in the city, the things of the city. The celebration was an all-day af fair. From early morning until dusk friends and relatives formed a con stant stream into and out of the Clark home. At noon Vas a barbecue, a real old-time Texas barbecue. Honor guests at the celebration Time Payments on General Motors cars On August Ist General Motors announced import ant reductions in its time payment charges on General Motors cars —notwithstanding the fact that General Motors charges have always been the lowest. The important thing to the purchaser is the total cost of a car. The time payment charge is a part of such total cost when the car is bought on time. These reductions therefore mean, in such instances, a sub stantially lowered total cost. It is the policy of General Motors to pass on to the car purchaser economies wherever effected in financing as well as in engineering, manufacturing or merchandising operations. The purchase of a car out of income is a universally accepted practice. Six years ago General Motors or* ganized the General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) to make credit available at the lowest possible cost to purchasers of General Motors cars. The standard time price of any Qeneral Motors car is the cash delivered price, plus only the new GMAC charge.

GENERAL MOTORS BUICK CADILLAC CHEVROLET OAKLAND OLDSMOBILE “A car for every purse and purpose” THURSDAY. Centenarian Recounts j Early Days in Texasj Amasa Clark, Mexican war veteran, who celebrated his 100th anniver sary at his home in the Bandera hills Thursday. were delegates of the freighters, head ed by William B. Krempkau, secre tary and treasurer of the associa tion. 100 CANDLES ON CAKE. Speeches were made and Mr. Clark was presented a huge cake, bearing 100 candles.. It was the gift of the freighters and was designed by Mr. Krempkau. In the center was a stnr, and the freighter's emblem. Under neath were the words “Amasa Clark, Mexican war veteran,” and the dates “1825-1025.” The freighters also gave Mr. Clark a badge, symbol of his membership in the association. Renewal of old acquaintanceships and reminiscences of the pioneer days brought the celebration to a close. It was in New York state that Mr. Clark was born, but in Texas that he lived and made history. Joining the army in 1846, he served through the Mexican war, having been dis charged at El Paso. He then came to San Antonio and in the early 50's drifted to the Ban dera hills where he has made his home since. For years he freighted lum ber from those hills to San Antonio and many were the hardships he en dured. Nineteen children were born to him and in turn bore children until now his descendants are many. All were present to join in the eelebra- THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT.

MUST HELD IS SUSPECT INTHEFTS Tracks Lead Officer to Rear of House; Finds Youth Breaking In. BetmjM by the bicycle on which le prowled the city and located vacant houses containinc valuable electrical and plumbing fixtures to be plundered by his band, a 2,0-ycar-old youth is in the city jail, his reign of burglary at an end. Patrolman Casanova on his rounds early Tuesday night noticed the tracks of a bicycle freshly outlined on the sidewalk. He paid no attention to them until they suddently left the ce ment and led to the rear of 615 Sole dad street. Following them he came upon the youth in the rear of the house trying to break in. CLAIMS SICKNESS. “I was sick and came back here to rest.” the youth explained. Further suspicion was cast when his bicycle, bore no license plate. Un able to explain this inconsistency, he was sent to headquarters for further questioning. Though their grilling failed to break his down. Detectives Harris and Herbst believe be and his gang of vouthful thieves are responsible for the loss of fixtures from vacant houses which will exceed thousands of dol lars in value. Ilie officers also arc inclined th con nect him with the burglary of the .1. •I. Voith Clothing Company; 108 Meat Houston street, some three weeks ago, when clothing valued at more than $5OO was taken. BICYCLE STOLEN. Every article of his clothing, which appeared to be expensive, with the ex ception of his shojs and hose bore the label of J. J. Volrh. Though admitting that he was with out work, the youth maintained that he had bought the dnthes. His ex planation that be had bought them from friends failed to satisfy detec tives. Investigation also showed the bi cycle to have been stolen. Grilling of the suspect will continue Thursday. NEW MEXICAN BANK CROWDED AS DOORS OPEN FOR BUSINESS By the Associated Frees.

And then there was young Faustin Gallegos, who is right fielding for the Bears in place of the departed benedict. Si Rosenthal. “Galley” pasted a single in the second inning and it was bis difficult drive to deep right-center on which Conley did his slide. The ball went for two sacks and brought in the Bears* two runs, Gonzales and Clark having singled. Two were out when Gallegos hit. Gallegos also did some neat fielding. All the second-inning runs of the Steers were unearned. They came after an error by Gonzales which, had the ball been cleanly handled and the putout made, would have retired the side without a score. Without those three unearned runs, the Steers would have Jost the ball game. 2 to 1, their sixth-inning run not count ing, as heretofore explained. ith one out in this second inning. Bert Griffith bunted. The ball popped up near the first base line. Couch man tried to field it on the pickup as Griffith breezed by him, but over ran it and it was scored a scratch hit. Lind curled a double into deep right and Griffith took third. Segrist was walked, filling the bases. Bud Hungling fell for a change of pace and struck out, making it two down. Love sent an easy grounder in Gonzales. Mike, watching for bad hops in the mud, trying to throw the ball before he got it, showing the nervousness of the veriest rookie, fumbled it and Griffith scored. Bauman busted a liner out to left center. It was a scorcher, probably the hardest-hit ball of the game. Na son made a game try for it and reached out to grab it on the run but it whistled right on through his hands for two sacks, bringing in two more runs. Lance, at third, threw out Gross.

FANS DISAGREE ON ALL-STAR SELECTIONS Ten-man Team Required, 148 Players Named in Contest. The Babe Ruth All-Star Team Con test Editor has settled down to the grind. With hundreds of letters stacked before him, al! carefully dated as to arrival, the poor bird is com paring the contents of each minutely with a secret telegram which gives th.' tenm that Babe Ruth and a corps of sport scribes over the big league cir cuits selected as the best collection that could be culled out of the majors. Before be began the necessarily tedi ous task of comparison to test out which local fan’s skill will win that $l5 first prize, or the ten-spot for run ner-up position, or the fiver for third, he checked through his heap of ma'l and discovered that baseball followers had disagreed mightily, as they always do. Ten men arc nicked on Ruth's team, including two pitchers. But the fans entered in The Light's contest named no less than 14$ sep arate and distinct major league players as deserving of places on that ten-man team. There were 20 different catchers! And 02 pitchers! The first basemen totaled ten; ther were but four second basemen offered for consideration: six shortstops were honored, ten third sackers and 37 out fielders. The Contest Editor hopes to have his job done by Sunday so that the names of the winners can be an nounced in the Sunday edition of The Light. Watch for ’em.

BEAUMONT, Sept. 3. —Beaumont s baseball team franchise no doubt will be turned back to the Texas League. This developed at a meeting of the Young Men's Business League last night, that organization having sup ported operation of the local Texas League team for three years. Charging violation of salary limits by other clubs of the league, a move ment which forced the local operators to dig deep to meet payrolls, directors of the club openly declared them selves "through.” If no local pur chaser for the franchise and few re maining playars can be found, th *n the league will inherit th* franchise. If the league desires, an operating company might be secured to retain the franchise here. Should the Class A franchise be lost to Beaumont, immediate plans for a league to be composed of Beaumont. Galveston, Port Arthur, Orange of I Texas, and Crowley and Lake Charles of Louisiana, may be launched. League Anticipates Beaamont’s Action The league has anticipated th* with drawal of the Beaumont club since early in tb* season, according to Pres id«nt Harry Ables of the Bears, and others club owners who have been here with visiting teams. What city will succeed Beaumont next year nobody knows, Mr. Ables said Thursday. He, personally favors Breckenridge, or “some other live-wire West town." Mr. Ables ssiitthat Beaumont's ref erence to other eJuba being over the salary limit looked like “sour grapes" and an alibi for a poor showing.

WE LIGHT GIBSON SUCCEEDS MARANVILLE AS CUBS’ PILOT SWITCH MANAGERS IN HURRY New Chicago Skipper I» Bill Warwick’s Father-in-Law. By the Asaoclaled PreM. CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Walter "Rab bit" Maranville today resigned as man ager of the Chicago Cubs. George Gibson, coach of the club, was immediately appointed acting man ager for the remainder of the season. In presenting his resignation to President Veeck of the Cubs, Maran ville said that he was anxious to re linquish the reins as manager as hd found the duties of handling the club and playing too strenuous. He will continue to remain with the team as shortstop. FORMER PIRATE BOSS. Gibson, who assumes the duties as manager today, is the present coach of the club nnd formerly was mana ger of the Pirates. He came to Chi cago at the start of the 1925 season. It is understood that Gibson will be made manager of the Cubs on a long-time contract next season. Resignation of Maranville followed circulation of many rumors, among which was a report that President Veeck had Called the “Rabbit” to a conference to explain why the Cubs were not making a better showing in the National League race. CHANGE 18 SUDDEN. Last night Veeck denied that he had asked Maranville's resignation but admitted that there was a possibility Jhat a change would be made. 0 Maranville not long ago succeeded Bill Killefer as Cub manager. The ap pointment was a surprise to all base ball men. George Gibson, the new Cub mana ger, may have to lead his team next season against.his son-in-law, who is none other than Bill Warwick of the Hears. Bill has been sold to the St. Louis club, also of the National Jx-ague.

Kilgore plans to issue his first foot ball call on or about September 16. Everett Booe, the San Antonio Bears’ outfielder, who was Kilgore's assistant last fall, probably will serve in the same capacity.

GAME BOBBY GREEN MAKES HIT IN WEST Bobby Green, San Antonio 140- rounder (that's what he weighs now) has made a hit as a game battler on the Pacific Coast and has three fight offers, according to a letter from Jack Payne, of San Jose, formerly of San Antonio, who is managing Bobby’s fistit* affairs. Green substituted at. the ringside for a fighter who “ran out” on “Speedy” Sparks, erstwhile sparring partner of Mickey Walker, and. al though he had eaten only an hour before stood up to Sparks' left-hand ed punching and lasted the route, meanwhile giving Speedy a good tussle. Green has had a hone felon on the right thumb and this has kept hitn out of the ring since his bout at Phoenix on the way to the coast from San Antonio. He has done plenty of road work, "however, and Payne reports him in such shape that “San Antonians wouldn't know him.” w 'finest Cafe' south’ IQUUT WITH AiA MASMgO COOLING bVSTEM ’-Iwicksjono Open Every Day 11 A.

Ruth, who was all excitement over the request from Huggins that he “call him up Friday night and probably learn something to his advantage,” snid that his wife would regulate his diet, guard his every move and soon “make a good boy” of him. He added: “I can’t afford to be bad. The whole world’s watching me now.

Sept. 3.—A high westerly gale and a rough sea today made necessary the postpone ment until Friday morning of the sec ond attempt of Miss Gertrude Ederle of New York to swim the English channel this year By JOHN KIERNAN By Universal Service. Hospital, said that sho was out of danger from the illness brought ou by her infected finger and worry. The statement of Huggins that if Ruth would call him he would learn something to his advantage, was taken as a diplomatic way of saying that on Saturday the Bambino would jump into uniform in the lineup against the Athletics. The question of the $5OOO fine, which was imposed when Huggins sus pended Ruth, is still a mystery. Both Huggins and Colonel Jacob Ruppert agreed that •‘Babe” should pay a pen alty for his folly, but if the prodigal is on his good behavior flu ring the re mainder of the season there may be a reduction from the staggering sum. It is generally understood among star ball players that if they pay a fine they later find a chepk for the same amount in their pay envelopes. The Yankee “family” is planning a “welcome home’’ for Ruth, and fans gargling their throats for the great event.

Sept. 3.—Suit for an injunction to restrain the use of the name of Knute Rockne, Notre Dame University coach, over a series of stories on football tactics, has been filed in circuit court here against the Audio Company.

N W™: 1O g? M i, Whir ■■■W ww Nora Lee Terrorized by Knowledge Dane Is Going Away It was nearing Christmas time. Nora Lee embroidered a white rose on a bit of lace—very delicate.. Margaret would be delighted. She said aloud: “I’m creative a most remarkable person. There can’t be a doubt of it.” A tear fell on the sheer organdie. She rubbed it desperately. “Stop it! I say, stop it!” But she tossed the sewing under her pillow and went over to the window. Leaves whirled down from the S.I. MILK QUOTA HALF PINT DAILY One-half pint of milk! That's your daily share of the lac teal fluid produced in San Antonio. Yet medicos say that every person to be normally healthy and keep fit should drink at least one quart of milk a day. San Antonio and its milk territory yields annually 5,500,000 gallons of milk. And this entire amount is con sumed right here in the city. Of the total number of gallons. 5,250,000 are consumed as milk and 250,000 are made into milk by.-products such as ice cream and cream cheese. NONE EXPORTED Milk retails at 15 cents a quart in San Antonio and the total milk bill paid by the city is $3,150,000 every year. So great is the demand to supply the eity that milk is shipped into San Antonio over a radius of approxi mately 75 miles and at times the sup ply must be brought in from a greater distance. No milk is shipped out of the eity. It requires 350,000 cows to keep the milk supply up to normal demand, considering the fact that all cows do not produce milk at the same time. This herd yields a little over 14,000 gallons of milk daily. QUALITY FIXED All milk brought into or produced in the city and offered for sale, must by dty ordinance, show a butter fat content of 4 per cent. Any milk offered for sale with less butter fat 'rontent subjects the.' seller to heavy penalties for violation of' the ordin nee. The bulk of the milk consumed in San Antonio is shipped to the cream eries and then retailed by them throughout the city. Modern sanitary methods as used in up-to-date cream eries insure consumers that the milk is never touch by hands from cow to the dining table. NEIGHBOR’S SENSE OF SMELL AVERTS SERIOUS BLAZE An acute sense of smell prevented a serious fire Wednesday when an alarm was turned in from the home of Mrs. R. C. Roberts, 744 Peck avenue and firemen extinguished the blase before it had made much head way. Mrs. Roberts had gone shopping after putting a piece of meat in her cook stove to roast. Grease ignited and spread to the floor of the kitchen. Mrs. E. C. Cappell, a neighbor, smelled the burning grease and gave the alarm. OFFICER’S “PRIVATE” CAR TAKES SOCIABLE DRUNK MAN TO JAIL A companionable drunk man saun tered up to Patrolman Valdez early Thursday morning. “You buy the drinks, officer, and I pay for them.'* “Wait until I call my private limou sine,” the officer replied as he rang for the patrol wagon. "Fair enough," the man said. “This is a dirty trick to play on me," the man declared when the pri vate limousine rolled up. “In fact, I am going to have you discharged in the morning,” was his parting shot, as the cell door clanged Vhind him. BASEMENT FLOODED BY STORM SEWER Upon receipt of a complaint that recent rains have backed up in the storm sewers anil flooded tho base ment of the Builders' Exchange on Ht.

They rustled and turned when the wind went by. She thought, morbidly: “The leaves remember wild kisses of the wind; but the wind forgets.” Again the tears rushed to her eyes. She blew a breath on the window and wrote, childishly "Nora Lee —a fool—” FEAR FOR MARGARET But nothing eased her pain. She had handed her heart over to fear. Fear squeezed at it incessantly opened and closed and squeezed. This was because of Margaret Margaret looking so fragile; Margaret sitting at the window. Nora Lee thought: “Oh, if I only had someone to talk to! If I had a I sister or somebody else around so we could talk and talk." She rushed home from school be cause her mother's face, white and still as that day when she came upon her lying in the snow, filled with such anguish before her. She came flying into the room. Margaret would glance up, those warm, perfect lips of hers parted in such a smile; there would Come her soft, happy laugh. They would have tea together. And so it was just insanity in her to worry! Margaret looked gorgeous just gorgeous. Yet she brought Sallie home two or three times a week just so she could ask: "How do you think my mother looks? Pale, isn't she?” "Pale? Why, that's just her color. I love it. That's my idea of real beauty. I hate flaunting red checks like mine. Vulgar!” DANE HAS PART At nights when Dane came she watched him hungrily. Did be notice her changed? Did he think she was failing? He put his arm around her so sweetly. He said: “You little dear thing, she's a thousand times bet ter. If you worry like this I'm going to make you marry me ami starve. Then you'll have something to worry about.” Because she felt more alone now than ever in her life—because she felt separated from her mother by this secret terror, she clung to him. He came and played the violin be cause Margaret loved it. His eyes, with the tender youth uppermost, seemed to Nora the eyes of one in spired. They turned to hers and hors would .fill with tears. Sho would say: “He Joves me. 1 wonder how that can be?” and whim sically; "But then I am a lovely soul.” He pulled her to her feet, risking her look into his bonny face, the brown hair rumpled; teeth and eyes grinning. “I guess I must be pretty, good, when I make the teardrops fall, eh. Nora Lee?” GREATNESS PLANNED. “That mny be. But I was think ing that I'll miss you when you go. You are going for sure, now?” “You tell me not to and I’ll stay." "Ah, no. I want vou to be great —the greatest builder in the world.” He sighed with melancholy so deep as only youth can feel: “If I'm to be that. Nora Lee, then I've got to get away from you. I’ll be able to concentrate knowing I can't dash to a boat nnd in half an hour be grabbing you." “Do I interfere so much, Dane?” “You do! 1 should be pounding the volumes now." “Then go.” “I'm not sure that I’ll go unless you’re sure you’ll wait the two Bears for me. Will you?" “Yes —1. won't be the one to change, Dane. I come of a constant race—faithful as the northern star." So they kissed each other. She thought with a pang: “I'll be alone —utterly nlone—" He saw the white fear fly like a little bird to her lips. She kept her eyes down. “Then you don't want me to go, Nora Lee? You're afraid?" She shook her hend. I want you to go. I'm not f the two-snots has come home. Whore's the boss?” lite caller presented his card. On it was the name Dnn C. Semes, ac countant. Kansas City. KEEPS EYES OPEN. He next presented a $2 bill. “I got this at the Gunter Coffee Shop. You can't fool me on numbers; that's my business, you see. "1 saw the news of the popularity contest which The Light is putting on for the government, when I got into town, nnd decided I'd keep my eyes open for a winner. “This hill was handed me in change for n S 5 bill after I had eaten my breakfast this morning. The young* lady should have watched the num bers. I'll take alt the two-dollw bills that come my way, luck or no luck. This time I'm eight doll,re to tho good.” BANK ALSO AIDS. Mr. Semes then consented to a photograph showing him exchanging ■i two for n $lO bill with th cashier of The Light. Mr. Semes is not the only lucky person in San Antonio. TTtere are three other $2 bills, put into circula tion by The Light to be redeemei st $lO apiece. Added to that is a fourth roaming two-spot. The Texas Bank and Trust company has capitalized on the joke played by The Light on one of its cashiers. The Light changed Two- Spot No. N-90480243 at the bank Wednesday. Uncle Sam's promise to pay was handed to the cashier, num bers down, with a request for change. He picked it up. snapped it gingerly between his two bands, dropped it into the $2 section of his money till and handed out two $1 bills. BUSY SCENE. Wednesday morning, within fire minutes after the arrival of the early edition of The Light at the bank, there was a busy scene as the Two spots were checked over. But the bill had gone.
