indicted and he came TO the sheriff's
office, bringing two signed bonds with
him. W. L. Garven and G. c. Cahoon
were named as sureties on the bonds.
When the capiases on the indict-
ments were turned over to Sheriff Jim
Stevens it was decided. after a con-
ference with his chief deputy, to tele-
phone the ranger captain, thereby
sparing him the humiliation of being
arrested by a deputy sheriff. This
was in contrast to the action of the
rangers who went to the court house
when Adjutant General Barton had
complaints filed in justice court
against county officials in connection
with the excess fee matter, and ar
rested the defendants.

During the last two years, he
doubled the membership of the con-
sregation that he served and doubled
the amount of contributions.
The Prospect Hill Presbyterian
church has been established so quickly
because. of the fact that the Southern
Presbyterian Council was able TO re-
model a residence on the 2OO0 block,
Buena Vista street. to serve the pur-
pose of a mission. Construction work
upon the other churches has not yet
been started.

PLAN PROTESTANT BARBECUE.

The Protestant celebration this year
will take the form of a barbecue, ac-
cording to tentative plans by the San
Antonio ministerial alliance. The
date for the celebration, nor the de-
tails of the event have not yet been
determined.
Last year a three-day diamond
jubilee celebration was staged in San
Antonio by the majority of the Pro
testant churches. The. climax of the
celebration came when $4,000 Protest
ants Of the city marched through the
downtown district.
This year members of the minis
terial alliance say, the annual cele-.
bration, inaugurated in February Of
last year, will not be on the same
scale as the initial celebration. The
celebration this year will be held, pos
sibly in June.

Presbyterian church, DIR. ]. Z. Gates,
pastor of the First Baptist church,

expelled BY the Obregon government
after the government officials had as
serted that the apostolic delegate had
taken part in a public religious cere-
mony in violation of the laws of
Mexico forbidding foreign church Of
ficials from taking part in public re-
ligious ceremonies.
Following the announcement by the
Oregon government that the apostolic
delegate was TO be expelled from
Mexico. the Catholics in the San An
tonic diocese we're highly aroused. 4
message was sent TO President Obre
gon by Bishop Arthur j. Drossaerts
in which he expressed the unanimous
opinion of the Catholic clergy in this
diocese and called the attention of the
Mexican president TO the benefits
that the clergy of Mexico had received
at che hands of the Catholics in this
diocese. President Obregon. however.
was obdurate. and refused to rescind
the order for the expulsion of the
delegate.
Monsignor Filippi left Mexico by
way of Laredo. 1t was first announced
that he would come to San Antonio
on his way north and preparations
were made for his appearance. At
the last moment, however, it was
ascertained that he had gone directly
to Corpus Christi. where he remained !
for several days before resuming his
Journey northward.

Plots Affecting Whole World
Made in Grand Cafe at Bern

yellow foregathered. When two or
more Russians meet they make a plot.
and the place where they plot is the
cafe. And Bern, which is a small
though infinitely gracious village, has
but one cafe, the Grand.
The first secret which the neophyte
learns on being initiated into Bolshe-
yism is that the proper place for plot
ting is the cafe. If he snoops around
dark alleys, peering behind him TO
see who is looking, he is sure to at
tract the attention of the police. IL
he entertains strange, diverse and
bearded gentlemen in his room every
evening he is sure TO attract the sus-
picion of his landlady. But let him
stroll to the best cafe and casually seat
himself at the table of a friend there
and no one notices him.
So, as the citizens of Bern relate,
Lenin, who spent his morning hours
in his room studying works on poll
teal economy and American commerce
reports. went usually in the afternoon
to the Grand cafe. There he met the
other Russians. He read the news
papers (they hang on the racks of the
Grand cafe in no fewer than four
teen languages). He received reports
from itinerant revolutionists. He
cusscd and discussed the ear.
In the Grand cafe, in actual fact,
he spun his powerful web of theory
which has so terrifically affected the
life of Russia and the whole world.
An American writer has told of talk
ing with Lenin in Bern about revolu-
tionary methods long before the Boil

p. Il. Hill, pastor of the First Pres.
byterian church, who, in speaking OF
the Presbytery of Western ueXas
that will hold its semi-annual session
Mt the Westminster Presbyterian
church. this week, declared that the

shevik revolution, and has reported
that the Russian leader told him ex-
actly what he would do if. as leader
of the Bolsheviki party he should come
into control of Russia. That was ex-
actly what he has since done.
Remembered Mt Cafe.
In the front corner seat-left-hand
as You enter-Lenin usually sat with
one or two confederates. The man
ager of the cafe remembers having
seen him often and hearing other
guests say that he was the most dam
gerous of Russian revolutionists. The
democratic impartiality of the cafe
welcomes all visitors so long as they
behave themselves and pay their bills.
Lenin, living precariously on. funds
brought to him by Bolsheviki cour-
iers, drank a cup of coffee or two dur
ing the afternoon and so paid all the
rent required for his chamber of con-
spiracies.
Other revolutionists used to make
Of the Grand cafe their palace, and
of its corner seats so many thrones
around which courtiers and satellites
gathered. Kurt Eisner, later presi
dent of the Bavarian Society. came
here during the war and used to have
as many as twenty devoted disciples
about him at once. With Lenin there
were never more than two or three.
Business was done at Lenin's table.
From this spot went forth, transmit
ted verbally to Russia by youths with
false boards and false passports, the
commands which were sacred TO the
party members back home. Here,
doubtless. were formed many of the
plans which have since been made fact
over an eighth of the territory of the
globe-for example, that simple and
terrible plan for combating the power
of the moneyed classes, whereby the
revolutionary government would DELHI
erately print money until their money
