RAILWAY TO BROWNSVILLE
FROM SANTONE IS BIG NEED
San Antonio Chamber of Commerce
Secretary Discusses Need

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. 22.-
The building Of railroad direct TO
Brownsville and other valley points
is. in the opinion Of John e. Caring
ton, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, the only solution TO the
problem Of combating Houston's adj
vantages in the way of transporta-
ton.
This opinion was expressed by Mr..
Darlington yesterday in addressing
the Automobile Trades Association.
Mr.. Darlington said the St. Louis &
Brownsville roilroad would. when
turned back to its owners, continue
TO discriminate in favor of Houston
in Difference to the longer haul.
In the meantime, he said, it is inn
possible to get the railroad admins
tration to give the same Pullman ser
vice to San Antonio, in view of the
fact that the lines go back to private
ownership March l. A vague prom
ise to replace the present old sleeper
with a rebuilt Pullman, was the only
satisfaction obtained from that
source, despite the representative
pressure brought TO bear
Not only should we build rail
that the highway is paved with hard
surfaced materials" Secretary Car
surfaced faterials. Secretary Car
rington continued. Then the ship
by-truck movement will be available
as another means Of bringing the
trade, which rightly should be ours,
to San Antonio.
Before government ownership, Mr..
Darlington said. shipments from San
Antonio to the Valley required from
three TO four days, whereas stuff
from Houston went through in as
hours. He predicted the situation
would revert back 70 this.
Mr.. Darlington said interest in the
Valley was keen for a new line, and
that he expected to 90 there in the
next few weeks to look over the situ-
alton.
The Chamber Of Commerce hopes
to promote a ship-by-truck trip to
Brownsville in the near future, and
asked the support Of the club in the
matter. A resolution pledging the
chamber cooperation was adopted.

PHARR BANKRUPTCY
HEARING IS RECESSED
Briefs Setting Forth Priority
Claims Will Be Awaited
by Bankruptcy Referee

Until such time as the briefs set
ting forth the priority claims Of the
various creditors Of the Pharr Unit
State Bonded Warehouse, bankrupt,
the hearing that has been in progress
before Referee X. +. Kitchen for the
past two days has been recessed. The
principal factors in the case so far
have been the First State Bank of
Pharr with secured claims amounting
to about $4,000, and farmers with
unsecured claims aggregating about
100000.
The Pharr Unit bankruptcy pro-
ceeding was brought several weeks
ago and is the largest proceeding Of
its kind ever filed in this division of
the federal court district. The liza
bilities are about S220,000 and assets
about $1S0,0O0 and the creditors
number some 500. With the excep-
tion Of the secured claims held by the
bank and by four or five machinery
and implement companies the credit
ors are unsecured.
As to the claim of the farmers for
100000 due them, managers of the
warehouse claim that shipments of
corn lost during the Corpus Christi
storm caused this shortage. Until
briefs hae bene filed Mr.. Kitchen has
not ruled upon any of the priority
claims. W. S. West Of Brownsville is
the receiver.

Search Will Be Made for Ne
groes Who Attacked Off
GERS at Dumas, Ark.
By The Associated Prcssl

DUMAS, Ark, Jan. 22.-Led by
Goernor Brough, 125 regular army
soldiers from Camp Pike arrived here
early today on a special train and
will start a search for the negroes
who yesterday attacked local officers
and took from them Doe Haynes, ne
gro, arrested for stealing hogs The
negroes are at a settlement twelve
miles east Of here. The troops will
march because the roads are impass-
able.
Dumas is about sixty miles south
west Of Elaine, Ark, scene of the ne
gro uprising last October, when a
number of persons were killed before
the outbreak was quelled by federal
troops, and ten miles north of Win
chester headquarters Of Robert Hill,
alleged leader Of the Elaine insurrec-
tionists.
The trouble started yesterday aft
ernoon when white employees of a
sawmill attempted to capture Haynes
He escaped and returned to the saw
mill carrying a rifle. None of the
sawmill men was armed and Haynes
drove them into the woods. Officers
here were notified and Deputy Breed
love, with two white men, arrested
Haynes at the negro settlement near
the sawmill.
Breedlove said that as he started
to leave with the prisoner eight or
ten negroes, all armed, emerged from
the houses and ordered him to re-
lease Haynes. When he refused the
negroes opened fire. Haynes ran
and escaped. Breedlove, who had but
three rounds Of ammunition in his
rifle, covered the retreat of his two
companions who were armed sohly
with revolvers. Breedlove believes
that he hit some of the negroes.
1t was decided to postpone further
action until larger force could be
assembled here

Issue Handsome Monograph
During the last year a handsome
monograph. consisting exclusively of
photogravure aud chromatic engravings
Of the new art center, was issued by the
Fairmount Park Commission. The brief
Introductory preface tells that the
Parkway and the Philadelphia Museum
of Art to be erected on the height of
Fairmount is the result OF the study
of more than twenty five years OF
architects and city planners
This remarkable building, the Art
Museum. is the principal unit in the
general design Of the entire Parkway
scheme, including the Improvement of
Logan square and the adjacent thor.
oughfares. 1t will be the architectural
background Of the Parkway itself.
Thus far 81 800. 900 has been appro-
priated for the Museum Of Art, but
the commission is authorized to make
contracts for further $1,000 900.
The new city loan. which will be voted
upon the coming November. will doubt
less include an item Of two. or three
million dollars additional to permit the
commission to continue the work to
completion.
1t is not the purpose Of the Fairmount
Park commissioners to ask an appropri-

not only the structure itself, but the
entire scheme Of avenues, parkways and
associated buildings must be considered
IN connection with the completion Of
the museum proper.
Within this building the great John
q. Johnston art collection will also find
home. This collection, with the ex-
eeption Of n certain portion Of IL, which
Is on exhibition. is in n storage ware
house in this city. There is no specified
time for the final hanging Of the col
lection FOR the benefit of the public.
The great lawyer wrote in his will
II care nothing whatever for archi-
tectural effects. What l want erected
Is a building constructed in the best
way properly to exhibit the pictures"
He still further set forth that this
art collection, which has been variously
appraised at from 81, 900, 900 to $4,000
600, shall not be removed to any
other places unless gome extraordinary
situation shall arise"
IL Is understood that the reason for
removing the collection from the former
johnson home at $40 South Broad
street to fireproof storage warehouse
was the danger of fire.
