toxicated at the time Of his arrest. He
had told the police officer that he had

ALAMO HEIGHTS TO
PUNISH PEOPLE WHO
DESTROY FLOWERS
Council Moves To Protect
Beautiful Trees, Shrubs
and Blossoms.

The Alamo Heights city council
has passed an ordinance carrying. a
maximum fine of 500, Furnishing de-
stroyers of shrubs, trees and flowers
on the alleys, streets and public places
cd following the outburst of indigna.
S Sa on the part Of tss residents OF
Alamo Heights, in speaking of the
matter said:
an the springtime there is perhaps
no place in Texas more beautiful than
the hill section north of San An
tonic. Nature has been more than
generous in placing here dozens Of
varieties of the most beautiful wild
flowers which grow in great beds
planted by the Heavenly Gardener.
Strangers visiting San Antonio are
amazed at these wonderful and ex-
quisite gifts for mans pleasure and
delight.
Unfortunately, there are many.
while pretending to love nature, who
are so thoughtless and so disregardful
of the right of others that they take
every opportunity to unlawfully de-
stroy what God has given for the
pleasure of all. The wild flowers are
ANNALS and must be allowed to ma
ture and drop their seed, or there
will be none for the succeeding years.
In unlawfully gathering single
'nOsegay' hundred times more flow
ers are destroyed by trampling.
"There grows in this section one of
the most beautiful evergreen hard
wood trees know to man, the loncho
carpus Latifolius. Towering Legum-
nous tree. a native to the West In
dies and tropical South America. For
tunately some of the early settlers II
San Antonio brought the seed of this
tree here and it became acclimated.
It is hardwood. slow of growth. and
difficult to transplant. Many of our
people enormously call it laurel Old
timers call it by the Mexican name of
Frijolillo. Commercially. it is much
used as a veneer wood and is called
bitchwood. 1t grows in great pro-
fusion north OF the city and the way
it is being destroyed. by the so-callnd
nature lovers. is crime against thu
public. Alamo Heights and San An
tonic. the owners of private property
and the Creator of all beautiful things
for mans delight.
"Many people do not or will not I'M
derstand that these beauties of nature
have a lawful owner-either the pub
lie or a person--and when they ap.
propriate them they are guilty Of a
wrong. The moral aspect Of a crime
is different from its legal aspect. The
league maxim. de ninibus non curat
lex is applied only in the courts. In
moral degrees of wrong it cannot be
admitted.
every good citizen should exert
himself to protect these beautiful
trees. which are so good to look upon
and so valuable to San Antonio. Con-
slider the lilies of the field and how
they grow. They toll not neither do
they spin-yet even Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one
of these.'-

RELICS FOR ALAMO
Old Pistol and Sword Donated Dur.

pistol. similar to pictures of the type

In addition to the pistol and sword,
the Alamo received Thursday a col

to do so, could facilitate this cam

OPPOSED TO MERGER.
T. ii. McGregor, Widely Known At.
tOrney, Gives Views ON Rail Plan.

T. H. McGregor Of Austin, widely
known Texas lawyer, has sent the fol-
lowing to The Light relative TO the
proposed merger of the LIZ. n. and
Gulf Coast Lines:
White not mora peculiarly intcrcster
in the proposed merger or consOlida-
ton of the Internatinal-G Great North
ern with the Gulf Coast Lines than
any other citizen, my long residence
in Texas and my interest in every
thing pertaining to the welfare of our
state have led me to view with alarm
the proposed merger ~ consolidation
above referred to.
The recent pronounced antagonism
Of the CITIES Of San Antonio Houston
and Palestine and the recent. convinc-
ing article by Jesse ii. Jones. n di-
rector of the observation-disclosures
Northern, have convinced me that this
proposed consolidation would be ini-
mical to the interests Of Texns and
to the cities of Brownsville, Laredo,
San Antonio, Fort Worth Longview,
Houston, Galveston and Austin.
One good and sufficient reason for
opposing this proposed consolidation is
| that the company which seeks To ac-
| Quire the stock of the International
| Great Northern is a Louisiana cor
poratiOn, and the acquisition of the
| stock would be in direct violation of
| Section q, Article Ten of the Texas
| Constitution, and Article G606. com

shall consolidate, by private or judi
cial sale, or otherwise, with any rail-
road company organized under the
laws of any other state, or Of the
United States"
Make I.-G. n. Branch Line.
These salutary provisions Of our
organic law and statutes are based
| upon the most wholesome principles,
intended for the public good, and our
state officers should not permit the
violation of these laws however much
the railroad corporations Of adjoining
states may covet, for pecuniary gain.

and sufficient reason for the city of

BARNETT SINGS
| HIS SWAN SONG
Tells County Board Fare
well and Thanks Them
for Cooperation.
LAUDS POWELL'S WORK

District Attorney Morris Bar
nett today gave his valedictory ad-
dress before the county board of SUI
pervisors at their meeting in the
county courthouse today. 1t was the
last meeting of the board before the
officers elected at the recent election
will take office, and the district attor-
ney took this opportunity to thank the
board of supervisors for their coop
Grafton with his Office and for the
confidence they expressed in his eff
forts as county prosecutor.
81 feel that leave the office with
the feeling that I have earned the
confidence Of the gentlemen of the
board in my efforts to efficiently and
conscientiously carry out the duties
of the office of district attorney for
the county.
III believe that | have rendered a
fair and impartial and economic adj
ministration. I believe that IN the
period I have been in Office We have
accomplished more and with greater
effect than was accomplished by the
grand jury in their last investigation
here. And it has been at consider
ably lower cost to the county.
81 am pleased to say that the emer-
gency fund which you established for
the use of the district attorney has
remained untouched with the excep-
,tion of bill for $3.50 for special wit
ness fees in an important case. We
have been able to get convictions in
every liquor case but one that has
gone to jury. So
"No one can say that have not
served everyone that came to my Of
flee for help of any kind and | have
in many cases gone considerably out
Of my way to give more complete
service to the citizens of the city and
county. The public is sometimes led
to believe that the district attorney
has the power of both the sheriff $
force and the police force, and that
he is all powerful and can do all. This
is a mistaken idea. We must let the
law take it's due course. We cannot
override the law in order to get a
hasty judgment and call it justice.
81 want to tell the board that they
were not in the least disappointed in
their acceptance of my recommends
ton to appoint Mr.. Lewis Powell as
assistant district attorney. He has
fulfilled that Office as efficiently as
anyone could. Your next district at
torney is fully deserving of the hon
or. There has not been one iota of
friction between us and ] hope that
there never will be. / shall offer to
serve him in any capacity or in any
way that / am called upon, and | shall
do so with the sincere belief that |
am returning the many favors which
Mr.. Powell has given me while he
was my assistant"

BABY DEATH RATE
in STATE LOWER
Figures Show Slight Re-
duction in Infant Nor
tally Rate in Cities.
KENOSHA RANKS HIGH

Madison, wis. Chances for Wis
consin babies tc survive the danger
Gus first years, are better than In any
period in the past. This deduction
is made by the state board OF health
from a study of the annual infant
mortality figures issued today. De-
spite the increase in population and
q small increase in infant deaths over
1922, the 1923 infant mortality rate
declined, it is reported.
The years infant death rate was
69.9 per 1000 births based on Alba
deaths of infants based on 4,153
which compares with Ais deaths IN
1922 and 4,473 in 1921, the summary
shows. The urban infant death rate
exceeded the rural. The city rate was
TIA while the rural districts showed
a rate of CAT. In explanation the
board made this statement:
Urban Exceeds Rural Rate.
"The urban rate exceeds the rural
on the face of the returns, but if all
deaths in. cities, especially those in
hospitals, among young children. were
excluded from the urban figures, it is
likely the actual urban rate would be
lower than the rural. The reasons for
this are found in the intensive child
welfare work now being carried on
in most of the cities, and the lack
of such efforts in many of the rural
communities"
The infant mortality rate for Wis
consin cities of more than 10000 pop
ulation, in 1923 follows: Ashland
5s.8; Green Bay, "a; Madison, 732;
