ISOLATION of the Amateur Athletic

cuSsiOn and conjecture among the
athletic governors. The fresh item
comes from the Atlantic AsSOcia-
ton headquarters, and is interpret
ed by some students of the Situa-
ton as indicating a desire for re-
newal of harmony. The majority,
however, think the object is to heap
m ore fuel on the flame and fight
to the bitter end. Secretary ROtt,

for today at } p. m. and the other
calling for general meeting of
the association at s p. IN. to-

the date selected for the \. 5. C..
meetings becomes apparent when
it is remembered that the \. a. L.
meeting to finally dispose of the
case will take place at the Aston
house, in New York, tomorrow.
The Atlantic Board based its kick
on the action of the parent body in
reinstating the two suspended

was its only reason in refusing to
recognize ruling of the y. y. [.

A Slick Trio of Thieves.

Wednesday, the saloon of r..
Crowley, opposite the Arkansas
Pass depot was entered by three
small boys while Crowley was in
the rear, and number Of cigars
and a quantity of tobacco were
stolen. The boys departed, but
their dog, which always accom-
panies them, remained. One of
the lads returned a few minutes
later for the dog. Crowley fol-
lowed both the boy and his dog to
the San Antonio river, where he
saw the other two boys in bathing.
a pair of pants We're hanging on a
tree, which belonged to one of the
little thieves, and in the pockets
were found the missing goods. One
of the youngsters called Crowley's
attention away from the pants and
another grabbed them and the trio
escaped. This gang Of boys have
been stealing chickens in various
parts of the city, and if they are
captured reform farm will be
their future home.

Preparing for War.

The question of whether the Sum
day committee will carry out it's
program, and have all places of
business closed on Sunday that
open their doors, is being discussed
on all sides. None of the commit
tee will state that they will indi-
VIdually make affidavits against
violators of the Sunday law, but
they threaten to prefer charges
against the officers of both the city
and county who do not close up
the places that are opened on Sun
day.
One of the Sunday law commit
tee is city officer, and in a bust
ness that is exempt under the
statute from being closed, and a
number of the saloon men were
discussing his attitude on the Sun
day law question.
The meeting of the saloon men,
which takes place tonight, will be
watched with deep interest and
the proceedings promise to prove
lively, as the personnel of the Sum
day law committee will come up
for lengthy discussion.
An address to the public will
probably be an outcome of the
meeting and it will probably an

knocked so badly that he was I'M
