The Earl of Strathmore's Scottish
residence is Glamis Castle, in Forfar-

Gregorio Y. DeDios Asks Releass
From Bond to Stay Here.

Gregorio V. DeDios, Filipino law
student. yesterday answered a suit for
absolute divorce filed last June by his
wife, Katherine M. DeDios. He denies
his wife's charges, says he does not
own 100000 as claimed by her and
requests the court to release him
from a bond of $500 which he was
required to give to assure his stay
in Washington pending the hearing
on his wife's petition.
DeDios was arrested by a deputy
marshal last June on the dance floor
OF q local hotel where a reception was
being given the Philippine commits
sioners to the United States by the

MAGNIFICENT NEW
STAGE SETTINGS FOR
ELKS MINSTREL SHOW
New Costumes Also Arriue
and Are the Loudest Ever
Donned by a Minstrel.

The special stage settings for the
Elks Minstrel Show to be staged April
q and have arrived and are described
as magnificent" by those in charge of
this part of the work. The stage will
be the most beautifully adorned of any
stage ever arranged for minstrel
show in San Antonio. The settings
were ordered especially for this event
from a big eastern theatrical concern
and should prove one of the sensations
Of the show.
Likewise the costumes for the min
strel performers also are here and they
are far and away the loudest minstrel
clothes ever seen on San Antonio
stage. Silks and satins are used ga
lore and as for colors-they are n riot.
No detailed description will be per-
mitted TO leak ont. the committee as
serts, but the public will be given a
surprise when it sees the adornment
the MINISTRIES will wear this year.
Rchearsals are under way nightly
at the Elks Club. The musicians are
working out separately from the
comedians but in the next few nights.
the entire aggregation Of stars will be
thrown together in one grand tryout
because songs, jokes. dances and other
minstrel stunts interminglc in such

CHAMBER BACKS DOWN
Withdraws Endorsement Of San An
gelO for Tech College.

At special meeting Of the board
of directors of the Chamber of Com
merce Wednesday afternoon the cham
ber's endorsement of San Angelo as
the site for the new West Texas
chronological College was rescinded
The step was taken in view of the
fact that. since the action to endorse
San Angelo was taken at the regular
meeting Friday. seventeen other towns
in West Texas have announced their
desire for the college.
The endorsement Of San Angelo
was not made with the view Of show
ing preference to that town over the
entire field. it was stated at the spe-
cial meeting. but merely over four
towns in the Panhandle section of
the state which had then announced
their candidacy.
Within the last few days officials
of the chamber and business men OF
the city have received communications
from a large number of towns in San
Antonio's trade territory asking that
their merits as n location for the col
lege be taken into consideration before
the support of the city is given TO any
one particular town or locality. In
recognition of the fairness of this the
board withdrew its endorsement Of
San Angelo and decided to make no
