TO REHABILiTATE THE ALAMO.
Historic Pile To Be Restored to Con.
dition After llustrious Defense.

Especial to The Bryan Eagle.]
San Antonio, Texas, Dec. S.-The
Civic Improvement League has start
ed a movement to tear down the
framework and all the new portion on
the convent building adjoining the
chapel of the mission San Antonio de
Valero, known throughout the world
as the Alamo, and the chief point of
interest in the historically rich city
of San Antonio. The cooperation of
the Daughters of the Republic of
Texas, the incoming state administra-
ton and the legislature, and all pa
triotic and civic bodies having an in
terest in the preservation OF the ven
cradle pile will be asked.
The state of Texas now owns the
property, which stands in the heart Of
the city, facing Alamo plaza. 1t is
not proposed to touch in any way the
chapel building, where the last stand
was made by 1872 Americans under
Colonies Travis, Crockett and Bowie.
when Santa Anna three times with
5000 troops assaulted the Alamo, final
ly hosting the Mexican flag when the
last American had been killed. The
beginning of the battle, March 6, 1886,
centered around the convent part of
the old mission. This extended in a
square out from the chapel. The walls
crumbled after the several days bonn
bardment from the Mexican cannon.
Under Travis and Crockett small
cannon possessed by the Americans
was trained from these walls on the
Mexican infantry and cavalry. When
San Antonio was finally wrested from
the Mexican rule, the United States
government built up the convent walls
partly by masonry and partly by tim
Der and used it as commissary ware
house. It is now proposed to tear all
this modern construction off and re-
veal the ruins as they appeared after
the fall of the Alamo. The interior
will be parked and beautified by fount-
aims. 1t will be an effective setting to
the chapel, making that historic pile
more impressive by its reminder of the
terrible end of the defenders.

Trivial incidents sometimes have
serious consequences. There are sew
eral instances in history OF the whim
of a woman causing a war or revo-
luton. The refusal of the society girls
Of Pasadena, Cal, to dance with the

tate struggle which many regard as
inevitable. The Japs are very proud
people and such snubbing can not
fail to increase the tension of rela-
lions already somewhat strained.

an unwritten law that the northern part

the southern part the other. Since we

not know anything about the game, but

and the feeling for him is very strong,

little figure in his case, we believe -
Mr. Conrad said that agitation which
was quite keen early in the year for
state division has died down, and little
or nothing is heard about it now.

Eventually" said he. "I have no
doubt that the state will be divided,
but it will be some time yet, ] think
1t is logical that California should be
two states instead of one. The inter.
es,s of the two sections are entirely
different. The industries are different
rs different can be. Southern Cali
fornia will become densely. populated
within a few years, and then it will
be inconvenient to have the whole ter
ritory as one state. You see, we have
n thousand miles of coast line, and the
state is 500 miles long. Two states,
each a splendid commonwealth, could
easily be made. ~
Mr.. Conrad says that Los Angeles is
really the wonderful city that IL has
been proclaimed.
"They figure on 375,oOo population
down there,' he said. "and I believe
they will have almost that many"
