Find ChildIess Homes
For Homeless Children

children whom I have known read like
fairy tales. For instance, not many
years ago, wealthy ranchman in TIM
section, who had no. children of his
own, adopted a child from one OF the
local orphans homes and became very
much attached TO him. This adopted
child has been made the ranchman'S
sole heir and some day will inherit a
fortune.
According to Mr.. Hicks, the new
society will serve all the territory
within radius of 100 mics of San
Antonio. Heretofore, he said, there
has been n similar organization with
headquarters at Fort Worth which has
attempted TO carry on work Of this
kind, but it has been felt here for some
time that an organization was needed
which could better look after this por-
ton of the state.
VIII Have Superintendent.
AT meeting to be held Tuesday at
the Gunter hotel, n permanent organ
ization will be completed and plans
made for beginning the work of the
society. According to Mr.. Hicks, an
experienced superintendent will be
placed in charge, in the person of Miss
Madeline 0stema. Headquarters, he
said, probably will be established in
the Hicks building.
Directors of the now society are J..
f. Jarratt, II. 2. Drought. T. n.
Smith, W. Il. Stokes. Mrs. o. NJ.
Farnsworth, Mrs. Z. A. Holmgreen,
Yale Hicks, Henry j.. Half. James
Kapp, ]. f. Carroll. J. II. Halle. Mar
shall Hicks, George II. AllenwOrth, j.
W. Clayton and I. VI. McIllhenny.
These people, it was stated. will serve
without remuneration. All expenses

will be betrayed with funds obtained
from popular subscriptions, gifts and
requests.

.GUESTSFORCED
/. To FLEE FROM
HO TEL FIRE
Half Hundred Escape in
Night Clothing From
Presnall Hotel.
DAMAGE IS $4,000
Many Narrowly Escape
When Flames Sudden
ly Envelop Rooms.

Half a hundred guests, many scantily
! clad, were forced to flee when fire swept
through a portion of the Presnall Hotel,
215 Garden street,. at 10 80 Saturday
night.
The damase to the building, furniture,
fixtures and personal effects of the
guests was estimated between $4,000
and $4,000. The structure is owned
by Adolph Wagner. w. NJ. Hubbard,
proprietor of the hotel. said that in
surance covered the damage.
The origin of the fire, which appar-
emily had its origin in the rear and pos
siLly in the basement, had not been de-
termined after firemen had succeeded
in checking the blaze.
Though long angues OF flame shot
high above the structure during the
height of the fire, firemen succeeded in
combining the blaze to the apartment
house. The Hermann Sons Hall, sit
uated directly south of the Presnall, was
not damaged.
Fire Was Sudden.
The suddenneSs with which the fire
seemed to envelop the rear part Of the
hotel, resulted in many OF the
guests narrowly escaping being trapped
in that r..rt of the building. The hotel
is two-story structure, approximately
go feet in length and containing ~
apartments. The rear section of 80
apartments is of frame construction and
it was to this part of the hotel the fire
was confined.
81 am at a loss to even surmise the
origin of the fire" said Mr.. Hubbard.
NO fire of any consequence was in the
place Practically all the guests had
retired for the night. We knew moth
ing of the fire until it seemed to have
covered a large part of the rear. The
screams of several women awokc many
of the guests. We sounded an alarm at
once and those first to be aroused assist
ed in arousing the others"
Forced Into Night.
Because of the rapidity with. which
the fire swept through the frame Sec
ton of the hotel, most of the guests
were forced to flee with but sufficient
garments to protect them against the
night air. The bulk of the personal eff
fects of those occupying the extreme
west apartments on both the ground and
second floors were consumed in the
flames. Fire Quilted the entire rear
section. while beyond the middle section
fire and heat caused additional damage.
Dense smoke filled the front part of the
hotel. Loss from this source, however,
is expected TO be slight

Guy Players Make a Hit
in rip Van Wrinkle"

There are a great many children in
Indianapolis who are enjoying a
treat which the present-day children
of most cities cannot have.
1t is that of seeing Rip Van Wrinkle
come to lie on the stage It has
been so long since old Rip had his
big day on the American stage that
few of the present theatergoers have
ever seen him.
For those who have not seen him
or for those who would renew his
acquaintance a trip TO Brookside Park
this week is worth while. About
5000 children of all ages laughed and
suffered with Rip last night when
saw the play.
This famous old show is being pre-
scented in the Municipal Theater by
G. Carlton Guy and his stock com.
pany. From a production standpoint
it is the biggest and just about the

How. Many Dots Are There

Science may never answer this
question, How many dots are there
ia a bottle Of ink?"
1t makes no difference if the ques-
ton can be answered or not, but
Browning and Roberts, black-face
comedians. are asking it at the Pal
ace.
Personally, think it would depend
upon the blotter. Now don't try to
be funny. All right. will not.
Browning and Roberts are easily
the winners on the new bill at the
Palace. They have a bunch OF de-
Eghtfully funny chatter. Their meth
cd of delivery is about two-thirds Of
the battle. Their conversation about
opera is comedy gem. They will
please 80 per cent of any variety audi
ence.
It is announced that Felix Patty, the
great French trainer. presents Tar
zan," the sensation Of the season. Per
senally, do not know whether Tar
zan is a baboon or what. If Tarzan
is-a baboon. il is the greatest comedy
animal on the stage today. If not, it
is a pleasing burlesque.
