HENRY D. BUREAU HEAD A BUSY PAT
Retired Dallas Business Man, Colonel in Army Tackles
Thankless Job With Aggressiveness That Won
Him Fame and Fortune in Few Years

TINE first thing Carter Glass did
in office as Secretary 81 the

Honry D. Lindsey for Director OF the

him. Neither was any glory 70 be had

silence and suffering were bound to
be about the extent Of the recognition
coming the directors way. and that
hrckbats would always be on hand In
certain quarters to be hurled at the
director. In fact. he inherited speci-
non brickbats when he assumed his

His principal achievement as Mayor
was giving Dallas n better water sup
ply and putting the water system on

Barclay Parsons and other engineers
from New York, and the Trinity River
was damned and notable aqueduct
was built, Previously Dallas had
profited from Lindsley's interest in

doing that the leading landscape archi-

were called TO make Dallas the slightly

Stvcn or eight years ago Lindsey
decided that his work in the South

done. and that his pile was made, and
he resigned, He let it be known that
he was through and meant to take
it easy, and with Mrs Lindsey and
their daughter. their son being in
school, he started on a trip around the
world, doing Europe in an automobile
He Is said to have been as unhappy
as fish out OF water through the
first few weeks of this holiday, until
he created some work for himself by
taking up the comparative study of
municipal governments abroad. He
talked with the authorities every
where. and collected a library on the
subject.
The result in the fall OF 1913, was
his candidacy for Mayor of Dallas.
The city. Of course, is all Democratic
except such colored Republicans as it
has. but the local factions amount to
party lines, and regular campaigns are
fought on regular, standing issues.
Lindsey won. In order to give his
whole time and strength to the job
he again closed his office. delegated all
his private interests, and literally
dropped everything during his term.

BRAVE WORDS
FROM BLANTON
OutspOken Representative from Texas
ROundly Scores the Methods
of Anarchy
fAsaociated Pressl

Washington, June 5.-Anarchist at
tempts on the life of Attorney Gener-
al Palmer and public men were de-
nounced in the House yesterday by
Representative Blanton of Texas, who
said he had waited thirty hours in the
hope that older members would let
the country know what Congress
thought of a series of outrages
against organized government.
Mr.. Blanton also made q general
attack on labor unions, saying he had
been receiving anonymous letters
from all parts of the United States,
telling me that if ever opened my
mouth against the unions again what
would happen to me and my family"
On the same night an internal ma
chine was exploded on Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer's doorstep, Mr.. Blanton
said, "there met in Washington rep
resentatives from other unions, many
of them representatives of govern
ment employees, who were addressed
by the wife of convicted bomb
thrower of California"
81 hope you open your mouths" Mr..
Blanton shouted at the members, "and
tell those anarchists do not care If
they are labor unionists or not-that
if they do not stop their practices, and
/ hope you tell Mr.. Gompers that If
he does not purge his labor unions of
anarchy and disregard of law we are
going to catch every one of them,
that we are going to catch all the an
archists, though they are members Of
unions, and hang them as high az
Haman."
