After several weeks Of controversy
between the Woodmen Of the World
and the citizens of Alamo Heights
over the establishment of a tuberculo-
sis hospital on a site purchased on
North New Braunfels road by the
WOOdmCn Of the World. the fraternal
organization has finally agreed to
withdraw its original plans of erecting
a tuberculosis sanitarium and instead
erect general hospital. The agreement.
signed before Judge Duval West.
Thursday afternoon, by attorneys for
both sides, will end the injunction suit
filed in the federal court asking that
the Woodmen Of the World be re-
strained from continuing their build
ing operations.
The agreement. in substance. pro-
vides that the building to be erected
must be conducted as a general hos
pital and that patients suffering from
contagious diseases shall not be admit
ted. The agreement specifies that this
provision shall not be construed to
prohibit patients in the early stages
of tuberculosis from entering the hos
pital. The agreement further pro-
hibits the erection of additional open
air structures or tents on the site, for
the housing Of patients.
The first efforts Of the Alamo
Heights citizens to prevent the cree
ton Of the hospital were directed to-
ward the purchase Of the property. A

II, who made a sensational escape
from the parish prison in Lake

years after conviction on a charge of
assault to murder. The son, these
dispatches stated had been convicted
on charge Of murder and was serv-
ing from 10 to Is years.
Virtually every officer in Lake
Charles joined in the pursuit of the
escaped convicts. That the latter had
escaped the state was indicated by
the flashing of messages from Lake
Charles TO points between there and
San Antonio.
The escape Of the convicts. accord
ing 10 the telegram from Sheriff Lyon
to Chief Van Ripper, was made by
the aid Of outside confederates. A
powerful automobile was used by the
prisoners to make a getaway, after
succeeding in breaking out of prison
walls, reported to have been accom-
plished late Wednesday night or
early Thursday morning. The ulti-
mate destination of the fugitives.
Sheriff Lyon states, is believed to be
Mexico.
