The state treasury has made call for
1921 COO of general fund warrants for
the third of January, being up TO the
re gister number, q, 755 This clears mp
less than half of the outstanding war
rants and will leave net debt OF $500. :
600 to start the year 1910. This cannot
be reduced much before the middle of
the year and with the expenditures
running as they are at present, IL is very
likely that the beginning of the next
year will see the debt somewhere near
that figure.
Declaring that survey had been
made and plan fully financed TO build
an interurban from Parkston, S. D., TO
Sioux City, Iowa, @. A. Magee has
asked the city council of Sioux City,
Iowa, to call special election to vote
the company right of way in the city
streets. Magee says his company has
$500, 900 in cash. The proposition was
surprise there, and doubtless will put
several local internrban projects out of
commission The line is planned to
run through Sioux Falls, Freeman,
Yankton, Centerville and Elk Point.
1t is announced that deal is pending
between the owners of the Evans Hotel
at Hot Springs in the southern Hills,
and the Mayo brothers, the famous sur.
geons of Rochester, Mimi, for the pur-
chase of the hotel and grounds. 1t is
understood that the Mayo's have for
some time past considered the purchase
of the hotel there to be used as sani.
tarium for certain diseases which the
4 mild climate there and the hot springs
are believed to remedy. If the deal is
concluded, the sanitarium will be used
in connection with the Rochester insti-

MEMORY OF HEROES.
Texans Hear Addresses on Famous
Battle of San Jacinto.

At the battle of San Jacinto the 600 Tex
ans under Gen. Sam Houston were so
many Caesars, when their success in
war is considered, declared Representa-
tive Collier of Mississippi at the celebra-
ton of the seventy-fourth anniversary of
that battle, held in Pytlhan Temple last
night under the auspices OF Nthe Texas
Society. He spoke at great length of the
first settlements which were made in
Texas by Americans under Stephen Aus
tin. and of how later Mexico adopted a
constitution which closely resembled that
Of this country.
Then ten dictator Santa Ana came
upon the scene and issued the order that
only one Texan in 600 should keep his
firearms. You can rob the warrior of
his laurels, said the representative, you
can take the plume from the knight and
the armor from the cavalier. and peace
may still prevail, but when you attempt to
take Texans gun from him there is 60
ing to be war"
Mr. Collier paid a tribute to Davy
Crockett and to the other heroes of the
Alamo, who for days held a great Mexi-
can host at bay. and fought until they
were all exterminated
Representative Gillespie, president of
the society. presided over the session. and
at the opening delivered a short address,
In which he declared that wherever Tex
ans may be on San Jacinto day they
should gather to observe it.
Prof. Charlemagne Koehler, Miss Mabel
c. Latirner. Edward J. McQuade and
James Nolan contributed to the musical
and literary program Of the evening

SOMETHING OF A SWIMMER.
Capt. William Neitzy Gives Un.
usual Exhibition of ProWess.

Capt. William Neitzy, proprietor Of one
of the local fish packing plants and
owner Of Potomac fishing shores. has
proven himself long distance swimmer
under disadvantageous conditions. Satur-
day last. on a wager, he swan from the
18th street wharf to the lower end Of the
Washington barracks wall and back
again, a good two miles and a half. and
suffered no inconvenience from the feat.
The swim was the outcome of an acct
dent. While moving about on lighter
which had brought shad and herring to
the fish wharf Capt. Neitzy missed his
footing and went overheard. AS he was
climbing out something was said about
his ability as a swimmer and a wager
was made that he could not swim to the
arsenal and back with clothing and
shoes on. Overheard again Capt Neitzy
went. and not only won the wager but
felt fresh enough to swim q mile or two
further when the task was completed.
When Cspt. Neitzy went overheard for
the swim he had a roll Of bills amount
ing to several hundred dollars and a
watch in his pocket The money was safe
when he got back. but was water soaked
and had to be hung out to dry in his
office The watch was not harmed.

LESSON TO TUG OWNERS
POLICE BOAT vIG1LANT TO
HAVE HINGED STACK.
River Men Doubt Whether It Will
Serve to Popularixe
Device.

The harbor police boat vigilant is out
OF service. to be equipped with q new
type of hinged smokestack hat can be
lowered 30 that she can pass under the
bridges over the Potomac without the
necessity Of opening the draw. The work
was started yesterday. The stack of the
Vigilant was shortened several months
ago, so that she was able to pass under
the bridges without difficulty and with
out calling for the opening of the draw.
but the District authorities thought it
would be good thing to show the tug
boat men that q hinged stack was practi-
cal, and one was ordered.
After 1t h in place on the Vigilant, II
is thought by many rivermen. tusboa1
owners will be more than ever opposed
to Ringing the stacks on their boats. The
lowering device consists OF cogged-tooth
quadrants working in geared wheels that
allow the stack to lower from about two
feet above the deck to the deck. It will
require two men to handle It, and It II
asserted that it can be lowered in eight
cen seconds and raised In about the same
time. The old stack being removed from
the V1g1lant weighs 600 pounds. while
the new stack will weigh 80 pounds and
the lowering gear $40 pounds additional.
giving the tug over a half ton more
weight to carry on her upper deck than
she has at present. 1t Is stated that
about ten days will be required to install
the new stack, and that the launch Major
sylvester will perform patrol duty while
the V1gflant is out of service.
About year ago law was passed by
Congress requiring all tugs that pass in
and out from Georgetown to hinge their
stacks. This was found to conflict with
the navigation laws. which required
whistles and lights to be q certain dis
lance above the tops Of pilot houses. and
the regulation Was SO amended as to
make it apply to the smaller tugs. whose
pilot houses were not too high to pass
under the chord of the bridges. These
boats. q half dozen In number. have all
had their smokestacks shortened and do
not need hinged stacks. and the larger
boats cannot comply with the regulation
without altering their construction, SO
that it Is thought that the Vigilant will
for some years to come be the only tug
of the fleet owned here to be equipped
with stack-lowering device.
