tice c. H. Truax preventing the Car
negie Trust company from disposing
of or transferring securities held by
them of the Fidelity Funding COM
pany, of which Patrick ]. Kieran
was president, so as to permit their
sale.
Mainly Overdue Paper.
"The securities consist mainly Of
overdue paper of various Roman
Catholic institutions throughout the
United States given as collateral for
loans by the trust company, and this
company said that unless the injunc-
ton was dissolved 1t could not pro-
coed with the disposition of the Sc
curities Upon the default of the
Fidelity Funding company in the
payment of it's notes, the Carnegie
Trust company reduced the collater-
al in its possession by sale at auc-
ton, and, being the highest bidder,
became its owner. Then the injunc-
ton was obtained preventing its
transfer or sale of the securities.
Justice Bishoff, in his order, per-
hitting the sale of the securities, di-
reefs the Carnegie Trust company to
hold the monies realized from such
sale until the further order of the
court, but without prejudice to the
rights of the company in its claim
or contention that it is the absolute
owner and without prejudice to the
rights of the receiver in his claim
to any surplus which may be real

A Spartan Father.

Recently a first year high school pm

she evidently considered an exhaustive
and final study Of Lacedaemonian Gus
toms. In it she stated that one Spar

to compel the boys to sleep always on
beds and thiStles.

Little things like bacilli will live in

a race horse will go much faster on a

The colonel had just finished his
Labor day address. AS he spoke the
last sentence of his speech, the crowd
cheered and then there was a rush for
the speakers stand by thousands, who
sought to get near enough to see Col
Roosevelt at short range and shake his
hand.
Those on the platform, pressed
around the stand, and in a moment it
was closed in by a surging and strug-
Cling mas Of men and women Some
of the holder persons in the crowd
mounted the steps that led TO the
speakers stand, rushed to Col ROose-
velt's side. a small, poorly dressed
man pushed his way through the mass
of people until he could make himself
heard by the colonel. He wore a bat
tered hat and was unshaven.
Il have a question to ask you, Col
Roosevelt" he shouted.
The men and women on the stand
grew silent, Col Roosevelt turned and
faced him. Waving one arm, the man
shouted:
Il want to know who is paying the
expenses of this trip of yours about
the country"
The question angered Mr.. Roosevelt,
and his face showed it. He advanced

question" he said. However,. I have
no objection to telling you
He added that the expenses of the
party were being paid by the magazine
OF which he is one Of the editors.

that hundreds of persons in the crowd
could hear him. AS he spoke the words,
Col Roosevelt stepped forward quickly
and seized his arm just above the ell

his intentions were and that he had
taken hold of his arm as a measure of
self protection.
His vigorous action did not deter the
man from finishing what he had to
say.
He shouted out:
Your expenses are being paid by the
people of the United States"
Although Mr.. Roosevelt was the first
to act, others ran quickly to assist him
and even before the man had finished
his remarks two men seized him. The
colonel did not release his grip until
the stranger was moving rapidly from
the stand. He was elected from the
platform and swallowed up in the ex-
cited crowd.
The man was arrested later and
charged with disorderly< conduct. He
said his name was John Martin. his
occupation a painter, and his residence

NOTED PHYSICIAN
TO OPERATE HERE
Will Demonstrate the Uses
of the Most Modern An
eSthetic Known.

Physicians and surgeons of this city
are to have the privilege Of attending
q clinic at which a demonstration OF
the use Of stovaine, the most modern
surgical anaeSthesia will be given at
a local hospital. Dr.. Stilwell c. Burns.
who is the guest of assistant county
physician T. W. Lynch, is the chief
surgeon Of the Medico-Chirugical hos
pitai in Philadelphia He was the
second American surgeon to use the
new anaesthesia, which has been wide
" discussed in the magazines since
DR.. JonnescO came TO this country
from Europe to demonstrate its uses
Stovaine is spinal anaesthesia
which eliminates the uses of ether or
other general anaesthetics. By inject
ing the stovaine into the spine of the
person upon whom the operation is
TO be performed. it is possible to oper-
ate with the patient entirely conscious
The introduction of this new aid to
modern surgery was the occasion for
much comment in the press, some Of
which was in the lighter vein. Car
toons appeared in which the patient
was having a leg or an arm ampu-
tated while he read the morning paper
or an operation for appendicitis done
with the patient both a principal and
an innocent bystander.
DR.. Burns has been using stovaine
in his operations for the past five
years at the Philadelphia hospital and
will give a practical demonstration

FLAG To FLY IN
SAN JhCINTO
EVERY DAY
City Council VIII Order
, "Old Glory Flung to
Breeze Year Round.

Patriotic FL PasO is to have an out
ward manifestation of its love of coun-
try i large American flag will fly from
the masthead of the flag pole in San ia
cintO plaza each fair day OF the calendar
year if the plans of mayor Kelly and the
city council are carried out Being the
heart of the city, it is desired that the
eagle mounted steel flag staff have a
flag flying from it at all times and action
viii probably be taken at the Thursda-
morning session Of the city council for
providing the park caretaker with a new
flag for the plaza pole.
In the past it has been customary for
the flag to be unfurled on HOLIDAYS and
special occasions only. owing TO the dam
age which is done the flags by the strong
winds of spring Since the death of
mayor W. F. Robinson the San Jacinto
flag has been at half mast and on Labor
day it was hOisted to the top of the pole
for the one day that labor celebrates SO
favorable were the comments of the citi-
Zens on the presence of the big flag in
the plaza that an informal discussion of
the matter was Held at the city hall
Tuesday morning by mayor Kelly and
aldermen AIcGhee and Bhmenthal while
they were waiting for the council session
TO begin. These city fathers were all
each day OF the year that the weather
VIII permit, which is 364 out of a posi-
bic 365.
Alderman Percy McGhee stated that
in purchasing fla0s for the city hall, both
the Texas and American flags, he found
that two of these flags would last
through an entire ear even when flying
every day. He estimated the cost of the
II feet flag which it required in San ia
cinto plaza at IS each, or a total of SIC
a year to keep a flag flying in the plaza
at all times. Alderman W. S. Clayton,
who is chairman of the street and grade
committee, which has charge of the parks,
IS an enthusiast about having the ma
tion's flag flying over the city at all
times.
LAS the San Jacinto plaza is centrally
located and can be seen from both the
Southwestern and Southern Pacific trains
that pass through Fl PasO," he said. 1t
is the ideal place for displaying FL Paso's
patriotism. 1t would be inexpensive to
have flag on the pole each da that
/ the weather is good, and the effect would
be most pleasing with the flag pole in the
center OF the beautiful downtown plaza
surrounded by the tall buildings. 1t is
our intention to have the old stand re
moved from the PIAZZA and a pergola
erected in its place. where people may
sit in the shade and rest. A woman's
retiring room will also be provided .and
drinking fountains placed near the build
ing"
1t Is probable that the new flag will be
hoisted on the plaza mast as soon as the
one which is now flying at half mast for
the late mayor Robinson is fIYrled on the
14th, at which time the 80 days period
OF mourning viii have expired.
