INDICTED FOR PERJURY
Man and Woman Reported Banks
Condition Falsely, Is Charge.

Dallas, Tex, April 5.-W. n. Full
wood, former president, and Miss
Mary Cook, former cashier, of the
Oak Cliff State Bank and Trust Com
pany, were indicted for perjury in
connection with a statement of the
banks financial condition made jan
uary Z, 1922, when the Dallas county
grand jury reported at noon Satur-
day.
Fullwood and Miss Cook are now
under bond of $500 each in connec-
ton with charges alleging they made
false entry of $500 on the banks
books. These complaints were filed
several weeks ago and are now before
the grand jury for investigation, Off
Gals say.
The Indictment Saturday alleges
that in statement made before a
notary, Nellie Caldwell, on January Z,
1922, which showed the banks finan-
cial condition as of December 81,
1921, FullwoOd and Miss Cook per-
jured themselves. The bills asserted
that whereas an item showing amounts
due from other banks and bankers
listed was $120.534, it should have
been 800, 534, and that though an item
showing demand certificates on de
post was listed at $66,913, it should
have been S41, 900.

MANY TOURISTS TO
REMAIN HERE FOR
FIESTA CELEBRATION
Some of the Early Birds
Write Back Their
Woe.

"Tell tourists to keep a good thing
while they have it. / have heard
that robins are a sign of spring, but
when | returned to Iowa from San
Antonio, L saw a robin so weighed
down with ice that he couldn't fly.
Such is spring up here"
This extract from a letter written
by a lonesome tourist on her return
to "the home town" after having
spent the winter in San Antonio. is
a fair sample of the letters that
have been arriving in dozens during
the last few weeks, according to win
ter visitors in this city who have re-
manned in San Antonio for the sure
approach of summer "back home.
Warm weather and green trees
have driven many of the tourists out
side. at the Tourist House, and now
the bridge, nah jong or ~" taDies
that once were circled cozily around
the open fire at headquarters" are
spread about on the shady lanes on
Tourist House grounds, or are placed
on the vine-clad verandas.
Another old-fashioned dance was
given at the Tourist House Thursday
evening, April 3 by and for the
visitors. The music was as informal
as the spirit of the crowd, and
couples danced again who perhaps
danced for the first time at the maiden
dance of the visitors some time ago,
for the first time since the era of the
two-step and the quadrille.
Picnics are being given every day
by the visitors, who gather in crowds
of ten or twelve, in congenial circles,
along the highways that lead to green
pastures in the neighborhood Of San
Antonio.
Although many visitors have been
forced to return to their homes be-
cause of business or because the time
limit of their stay has been overstep-
ped, many will remain for the Fiesta.
There are some who will give San
Antonio summers trial, after find
ing that her winters are just the Kind
that once were dreams that seemed
like aircastles.
1t is estimated by the San Amino
Chamber of Commerce, in unofficial
and approximate numbers, that 10000
winter visitors were in San Antonio
during last season. This estimate has
been made from hotel registers, the
register at the Tourist House, and
from the number of strangers who
applied either in person or by mail
for information regarding this city.
This would be an increase of about
10000 over the figures for last winter,
which showed approximately 3O,OOO
winter guests for San Antonio.

SOPRANO SCORES HIT
Florence Macbeth Pleases Large Au.
dience Here Saturday Night.

Florence Macbeth, leading colora-
tura soprano of the Chicago Opera
company. found an appreciative au-
dience when she sang with the Mozart
society at the Main Avenue high
school auditorium Saturday night.
Her coloratura work was admirable.
She has voice of much beauty. clear
and pure and singularly resonant, all
of these qualities having been devel-
oped by careful cultivation and en-
ployed with taste. skill and apprecia-
tive intelligence. A happy taste was
displayed in her selection of songs.
Miss Macbeth has been acclaimed by
Europe as the new Patti. Despite
the fact that she is still young in
years her ability has placed her in the
foremost rank of artists.
Because of her busy concert season,
Miss Macbeth has been compelled to
forego many social functions and on
her visit to San Antonio was unable
to do more than greet the musicians
who assembled with other music lovers
at the Main Avenue auditorium, Sat
urday night.

WILL TRACK CRIMINALS
German Police Dog Given to Sheriff
Jim Stevens.

Sired by some of the most famous
Gogs which saw service in Germany
curing the World war, magnificent
specimen of a German police dog

the sheriff's department. He is to be
trained by Deputy Sheriff Sam

a Bexar county dog faneier. He is(a
thoroughbred. registered animal. his
mother and father having been brought

an enormous expense. The gift was
made with the idea of training the

fer and support for ultimate choice
by all qualified electors 1t there
fore may be considered as determined
that the State of Texas was within
its powers in providing its tests of
qualification of Democratic electors,
and in providing BY its articles that
negroes were not permitted to vote
in a Democratic primary election it
was within the due exercise of its
police powers which was reserved to
it.
The Fourteenth Amendment guaran-
teeing privileges and immunities
which the states are forbidden to
deny or abridge, are such as depend
Immediately on the Constitution of
the United States, and which refer

Morgan, 2j6 U. s., %. From the al
legations of plaintiffs petition it is
apparent that the immunities and
privileges which he claims are denied
him, is his right TO vote in Demo-
cratic primary election. The author
tiles quoted amply demonstrate that
the Constitution of the United States
did not intend to include such right
in the words Privileges and 1mmun-
tiles"
1t is. therefore. held that the act
excluding plaintiff from participant
ing in a primary election, such as is
in issue by this petition and this
motion, does not deprive the plaintiff
of any rights guaranteed him by the
Fifteenth Amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States; and that
consequently the act in question does
not violate any of the provisions OF
the constitution mentioned.
The above conclusions require that
the defendants motion to dismiss
should be sustained. and it is accord
ingly so ordered. A formal order to
that effect will be drawn and filed
as of this date.

NEGRO AT LARGE
Police Seek Black Who Tried to Stop
White Girl.

The negro who attacked Erma
Yirlia, 15-year-old girl. near her home
on Earl street, Kenwood addition,
early last Friday morning, was still
at large late Saturday night.
Efforts of detectives to run him
down had failed. No trace of him
has been found by officers since he
fled from the scene after the girl had
successfully fought him off until the
appearance of a pedestrian caused the
negro to abandon his attack and
flee.
The girl was grabbed by the black
while walking through a lane in a
pasture, used by pedestrians as a
short route to the street car track.
The girl screamed and fought her
assailant, whom, she said, attempted
to drag her through a fence. The
girls right shoulder was dislocated
in the struggle.

CONvICTS CAN PLAY
Theodore Whitehead Asks "Y" Secre.
tary For Bats and Gloves.

Baseball will be played this season
on the Eastman state farm by teams
composed of convicts as a result of
the generosity of r. s. Tate, gem
eral secretary of the San Antonio
Y. NJ. G. A.
An appeal for a dozen baseballs, a
catcher's glove and other equipment
was received by Mr.. Tate from Theo-
dore 7. Whitehead, who was convicted
in the Forty-first District Court more
than year ago on a charge of muir
dering J.. NJ. Williams of Brewster
county and given a life sentence.
Whitehead, who was formerly a SOL
dier at Fort Sam Houston, declared
after his trial that he would escape
from the penitentiary but during a
later trial on another charge, he was
commended by the penitentiary Off
cials for his behavior.
The Y. NJ. G. A. had no funds
which could be used to purchase base
ball equipment for Texas convicts, but
Mr.. Tate personally secured and ship
ped the baseballs and gloves to the
farm.
In his letter Whitehead stated that
several teams had been organized
among the convicts and planned to
play during spare moments through
the summer.
