 Both factions had keys to the doors of the old building.At midnight, on February 10, Miss de Zavala slipped within the walls and sent out her dec laration of war.
 Telephone and electric light wires leading 10 the building We're cut, and the first night in the building she spent in darkness, without food or water The following day her sup porters came with food, which was passed her through q small opening in a door
 And so she maintained a siege Of three days and three nights. Then she surrendered and turned the Ala mo over 10 the State.

ANTI BAILEY
 CONVENTION

Dallas. Texas, March 6.-Political enemies of United States Senator Bailey will hold a convention in Waco tomorrow, as the result of call is- sued by Chairman George ". E. Riddle of the Democratic Club of Texas.
 The stated purpose of the eonyen- ton is to take steps to prevent United States Senator Bailey from being selo to the national convention at Denver as d delegate at large and ito fight against the evils in political and off, cial life which have come to be gen erally grouped under the name O Bailey ism.
 The Bailey adherents are also active and the senator is being boomed as one of the four delegates at large from Texas to the national Democratic con vention at Denver. Many of them are advocating making up the Big Four as follows: United States Senator Charles A. Culberson, United States Senator J. w. Bailey, Governor T. NJ. Campbell and State Chairman GeJrSe A. Garden.
 There seems 10 be little doubt that these four names will be presented by the Bailey men at the State convention in Fort Worth on May 2b.

ANNIVERSARY OF
 ALAMO BATTLE
Many Pine Bluans Have sited the Historic Old Build mo at San Antonio-How the Famous Battle Was Fought-Much Controversy, Legal, Personal and Otherwise Which Is Now Among Daughters of the Republic For the Control of the Old Structure

Many Pine Blutiians who have from time to time visited San Antonio, Texas, and who, of course, visited the famous old Alamo, will read with a great deal of interest the following story, which was sent to the Graphic yesterday from that city, relating to the incidents leading to, during and after the great battle from which the historic building gets its name. The story comes to the Graphic from San Antonio. It follows
 Today is the anniversary of one ot the greatest battles in the history of America the final scene in the tragedy of the Alamo, when David Crockett, William Travis and James Bowie, with their few devoted and fearless followers, yielded up their lives. IL was seventytwo years ago. on March 6, 1886, that these heroes wrote their names in blood on their country $ roll of honor in letters that time and CnduSe WILL never ulll.
 Interest in today anniversary is heightened by the warfare that is being waged over the custody of the historic old church building, and which recently led Miss Adina de Ia yala, leader of one of the factions Of the Daughters of the Texas Republic to maintain siege of thre days and nights in this cradle of Texas liberty.
 The Alamo still stands pretty much the same in appearance as il was seventy-two years ago or hundred years before that. From time to time movements have been set on foo. to make some special use of il, with < view of making it national memo rial, and there have been several at tempts by "enterprising" persons to of moneymaking purpose: but these have al! been defeated. The latest is tentative proposition to construct 2 handsome park about the historic spot, with a tourists hotel. In every one of the efforts 70 profane what is now sacred spot patriotic women have been instrumental in defeating the vandalism.
 Now the patriotic women are fight ing among themselves, and the end Of the battle is not yet in sight.
 The Alamo is now in the hands of W. (. Day, State superintendent of buildings and grounds, who will hold the property until a Texas court de- cides which of the factions of the Daughters of the Republic is to man age it.
 The fight for the possession of fAthe building began about two years ago when the legislature appropriated S75,000 to repay Mrs. Clara Driscoll- Sevier. Just preceding the session oi this legislature a portion of the old Alamo structure was threatened with destruction, and Mrs. Sevier advanced a part of her fortune to save it.
 At that time Mrs. Sevier was re. garded as leading spirit in the councils of the Daughters of the Re
