San Antonio, Tex, Nov ~ The
women OF the De Zavala chapter
Daughters OF the Republic OF Texas,
are up in arms over what they term
the dastardly outrage that has been
committed in tearing down the upper
walls of the historic Alamo fortress. .
Those in charge Of the WORK declared
that the continued rains OF late Sep
tember and the early part Of October
had SO waterlogged the unprotected
walls that when the sunshine came
great cracks appeared, and they
deemed it best to raze the walls be-
cause Of their dangerous condition.
The women deny that the cracks
were dangerous and declare that they
might easily have been replaced at a
very small cost. They even go so far
as to charge that the cracks were
made by design by persons having po
litical and selfish interests in seeing
the Alamo entirely torn down.
1t was recently discovered that q
number Of oak joists had been stoler
or taken from the Alamo. These
ioists, 64 in number, had been put il

ART EXHIBIT TUESDAY
Board of Trustees Endeayoring to
Find Successor to DIR. Bate, Under
Whose Administration School
Has Grown Wonderfully
BY CHARLES b. CARTER

Marion May 20-(Special)-T art
levee of the Marion Female seminary
opened at 3 o'clock this afternoon and
Continued until 6. The work of Miss Per-
kins this season has brought forward a
great Improvement in this department OF
seminary work. The display, while not
so large as that of last year, is of
superior grade and has been the ause
of general admiration for all those who
took advantage of the opportunity to see
1t. The seminary has always been
strong factor in the teaching of art and
its pupils have always demonstrated a
marked degree of superior training.
Tonight the annual concert and ex-
preston recital is being given at the
seminary auditorium. The programme,
which included a large number of COM
positions from well-known and standard
composers, was preceded by an address
to the literary societies of the institu-
ton by the Rev. John E. AuXford of
Demopolis.
The musical part of the programme in
cluded solos of voice and plano; part
songs, chorus and the exercise of from
four to eight pupils playing as many as
three pianos at the same time and in
almost perfect unison. During the time
DR.. Bate has been at the seminary he
has given the most careful considera-
tion to the music department of the
Institution and has made a wonderful
success, largely through the cooperation
given by Miss Chamberlain, young lady
of most wonderful musical ability, both
as a performer and teacher.
The board of trustees of the synodical
school, the Marion Female seminary, is
making a heroic effort to find a man who
will give to the school the high-class
service rendered by DR.. J. M. Bate dur
ing the past two years. The seminary
had been struggling along under the
leadership of the Rev. Brown, man
of very scholarly attanments, for two
years, but with no success. The first
session DR.. Bate filled the dormitories
and the second year it was necessary
to erect new buildings to accommodate
those who sought entrance Everyone
here who has watched the progress of
the seminary will admit that it was the
successful efforts of DR.. Bate that
brought the school to life, and how to
make it succeed without him is the prob
lem that will be of grave concern to
all the friends of the school, especially

proceed to Mexico City, stopping en- route
to arrange the surrender of the men un-
der his direct command. Garfias acted

abandoning the revolution that he did
not know until recently that the provis-
ional presidency of General Huerta had
been ratified by congress and that ne de-
clines to be a rebel against the estab-
lshed central government
Gen. Inez Salazar, commander of the
federal irregular troops in the Casas

had adjusted all difficulties with Col
Maxine Castillo whose troops mutinied
from Salazar's command.
Federal officials report that strong
column soon is to be sent south from
Chihuahua City toward Jminez and
Parral. 1t is intimated that the federal
garrison which evacuated Parral and
marched to the state capital, did so
without orders.
