POLL PAYMENTS NEAR
10000 AT CLOSE OF
3 TAX OFFICE FRIDAY
Station to Be Established at
Joske's and City
National Bank.

Poll tax payments had reached total
of 20, 56J up to the close of business
Friday night, according to figures given
out by County Tax Collector John A.
Bitter Saturday afternoon. As the daily
average for the last few days has been
about 1900, indications are that the
payments at the close of business Satur-
day will have reached into the neigh
borhood of $1,000, a squirt during the
last remaining three days is expected
to carry the final total well above the
10000 mark
Although but three days remain for
the payment of poll taxes, three seemed
TO be no great rush at the collectors Of
flee Saturday. At no time was the
waiting line long and at times only
three or four persons were at the win
dow. Collector Bitter expects the last
three days, however, to be the busiest
of the period.
The total number of poll taxes paid
last year were slightly more than 49,
900, which with 1000 exemptions, gave
Bexar county qualified voting
strength of more than 100000. Some
have estimated that this years strength
may be even higher, possibly 4J,OOO
No figures are as yet available on the
number Of exemptions issued this year.
Collector Bitter again issued warn
ing Saturday to those who have mailed
deposit checks for their polls to appear
and qualify as voters, otherwise they
will be unable to vote. The fact that
a man has paid for his poll tax, but has
not appeared toaqualify, Mr.. Bitter ex-
planned, docs not entitle him to vote.
Downtown booths will be established
Monday at Joske Brothers department
store and at the City National Bank. In
addition one has been established on
the West Side and one on the East Side.
Payments at the downtown booths last
week, Mr.. Bitter said were good and he
expects even a greater rush at these
booths during the remainder OF the Pc
Rod.
Poll tax payments are being watched
with much interest by the various
political factions in San Antonio. The
Pay Your Poll Tax League, which
many claim is really Black organiza-
ton, is exerting every effort to get
polls paid and in addition partisan sup
porters of several other public officials
are urging their friends to pay them
All factions are anxious that as many
poll taxes as possible be paid as it is
hoped to bring out an unusually large
vote Mt the municipal election in the
spring.

Don Felice, conductor of the 30-piece
Palace symphony Orchestra, at San
Antonios new million-dollar theatcr,
will arrive Monday morning to make
preparations for the opening program.
Louis Santikos has been making
overtures for several weeks to secure
the services of Don Felice and has fl
nally succeeded in getting that celebrat-
ed conductor to WELD the baton over
the latest addition to San AntoniO's
musical organizations. Don Fclice
comes direct from Chicago where he re-
linquished the position of conductor at
the Commercial Theater.
The arrival of Don Felice is Of great
moment to local music lovers and mu'
sicians. 1t means that San Antonio is
to be the recipient of an elaborate series
of musical events such as concerts
overtures, etc.
Don Fclice is a Neapolitan and comes
from a very famous musical family Of
Italy. His father was at one time con
ductor of the Banda Roma-probably
the most noted musical organization il
Italy. Don Felice came to this country
at an early age and was immediatel!
identified with some of the finest mu
steal groups in both theatricals ant
concert work. He is a slim, slight fig
ure of a man; alert in expression ant
Beau Brummelian in attire Many Wit
have watched him work declare tina
his personality dominates the listenee
and that his music is subordinated
others have said that his uncanny con

may designate, is today one of the out
