BUSY BAKING BREAD
At Fort Sam Houston for the
United States Army.
american News Service)


San Antonio, Tex, March 1S.-
Baking tons of bread daily is now in
progress at Fort Sam Houston where
one-third of the United States army is
modified. The division bakery on the
maneuver grounds under the super
vision of Captain l.. r. Holbrook, turn
ed out 5000 loaves of bread yesterday
with but four ovens in service. Eight
ovens have been installed and when
all are in operation, they will turn
out 10000 pounds of as fine quality of
bread as can be baked in the United
States each day. Captain Holbrook
was ordered here from Fort Leaven-
worth where he was in comand of
the bakers and cooks school there. He
has eighty-seven men in his command
and these are all busy making bread.
Tons of flour are used every day and
this is piled in great ricks covered
with tarpaulin near the bakery. One
of the most interesting sights on the
maneuver grounds is this long line of
ovens each turning out fifteen patches
of bread a day. The old days of the
hard tack have passed for the soldiers
while in camp and instead of the
bread that had to be broken with a
hammer, they get as good quality as
is served in any American home.

his neighborhood, was arrested by De-
tectives Bell and Schaefer as "suspi-
cious person." after warrant charg-
ing petit larceny sworn to by Kate
Haucht, of 729 Belts street, had been
issued for him.
The more indefinite charge was
made against GAIL by the detectives.
who believe they have an expert du-
plicate-key thief in the person of the
confectioner. and wish to work up a
number of cases against him.
Detectives Calnan and Harnold are
also working on the clearing up of a
number of duplicate-key thefts which
have been puzzling the police for
many weeks, and Gahl, it is said. an
swers the description given of the
man seen coming out of number of
the places robbed.
Mrs. Haucht charges GAIL with en-
tering her home and stealing three
rings, and says thar he was seen leav-
ing the place by several persons who
chased him into his own store. He de-
MES this, saying he is the victim of a
mistake. The man is highly connect
ed in this city and suspicion has new
er fallen on him before.
When searched at police headquar-
tiers two watches were found on him
and one of these the police say has
been identified as having been stolen
from the home of Mrs. Minnie Groan-
eur, 1906 Central avenue, last Novem-
Der. A number of brilliants and gar
nets were also found in his possession.
Detectives Calnan, Harnold, Bell

and say they came upon a bunch of
so keys, a broken savings bank key.

enue and Vine street, and wagon

identified by Mrs. Heinrichdorf, of
1880 Logan street, as part of goods
stolen from her. Mrs. A. Sizinger,
of 1916 Brennan street, it is said, also
identified Gail as man she saw run
ming away from her apartments when
she Unexpectedly came home.
Great indignation prevailed in
Calls neighborhood when it was learn
ed that he had been arrested. He has
been a veritable "angel to the poor
in the vicinity where he resided. The
mans heart was easily touched and he
paid for many a dinner and many d
pair of shoes for poverty stricken
children: In this the police liken him
to Robin Hood, the tender-hearted
crook of English lore.
Punched noses of children flattened
against the show windows of his store
and accompanied by longing eyes
brought instant gifts from the win
dows to the hands of the child, it Is
said, and then follew an investigation
of their homes which always resulted
in groceries, new clothes and the like
being sent there.
