by Sheriff Hamer johnson and other

WHAT THEY FIND
Nationwide Search Leads to 4 Bars
Of Soap and Dirty Collar.

zee Sings suitcase has fallen into
the hands of federal agents. Drama
tically its contents were revealed Sat
urday morning, as a special agent of
the Treasury Department swung back
the lid.
The suitcase had been trailed from
Seattle to New York, from New
York to New Orleans, from New Or
leans to San Antonio, and then
around the country again. 1t was
shipped from place to place by the
willy Chinaman who was ever a sta
ton ahead OF the federal agents.
Several days ago the Chinaman and
the battered suitcase believed to con-
tain shipment of opium. were To-
Gated at Sanderson, Tex. The China
man was picked up by the immigra-
ton service on the suspicion that he
was an illegal entry. The suitcase.
which was believed to have contained
opium, was forwarded under seal to
San Antonio.
Federal agents assembled around
the battered suitcase Saturday morn
ing. Carefully it was unlocked.
In the bottom were four bars of
soap and dirty collar.
The suitcase is waiting for the
alien who had been released after it
was ascertained that he was legally
q resident of this country.

Government Will Recognize
Work of Americaniza-
ton School.
FIRST TIME HERE
Class Being Taught Under
Auspices of Jewish
Women.

Among the many commencement
exercises to be held by the numerous
schools, public and private in San
Antonio, during May and June, there
will be one commencement program
that is highly significant of the fact
that San Antonio is awakened to the
need of Americanizing its alien-born
population. For the first time in the
history of this city, the federal gov
ernment will official yrecognize grad
yates of an Americanization class
The class thus to be honored, is be-
ing conducted at 200 Marshall street
under the auspices of the Council of
Jewish Women and is under the di-
rect charge of Miss Stella Ellison,
a teacher in the San Antonio public
school system. The forty students in
the class, many of them being recent
arrivals in this country. meet Tuesday
and Friday of each week to study the
constitution of this country and to
become familiar with the principles
underlying Democratic form of gov
eminent.
Aids Their Naturalization.
AT least 10 or II of the students
have advanced to the graduation
stage, according to Naturalization Ex-
amincr Charles +. Tucker in charge
of the San Antonio office. During the
latter part Of May. the students will
be subjected TO severe examination
by the government official. Those who
succeed in passing the tests. will be
granted certificates of naturalization
by the United States Department of
Labor. Presentation of the certificates
will take place at commencement exer-
cises.
Although those who passes these
certificates of graduation must go
through the regular procedure in order
to obtain citizenship papers, they have
the advantage in that the courts hav-
ing naturalization jurisdiction usually
recognize the certificates as being
proof of qualification for citizenship
and the holders thereof are usually
exempt from further examination as
to their knowledge of the American
form of government.
First School at FL PasO.
The first presentation of ccrtifi-
Gates of graduation to be presented
in Texas, took place at FL Paso re-
Gently.
There are several other American
ization schools in San Antonio of re-
cent organization. including tfn school
conducted BIZ the Catholic Welfare AS
ISOLATION. There have been no an
nouncements, however. as TO whether
commencement programs will be given
by these schools this year.

and cost during . the Revolutionary
War;" the speaker said.
Rev. Mr.. Schumacher quoted Pat
rick Henry, Abraham Lincoln and
Washington on questions pertaining
to liberty and freedom, in which no
man or set of men should deny
cording to Lincoln, Those >who deny
liberty to Others, are not deserving
of liberty themselves Man has n
mind, will and aspirations, with a
definite nature. need and destiny and
liberty is his power of choice, so
then who is to be the judge of this
belief, whether right or wrong, from
the standpoint of others, as long as
the laws of the land have not been
violated?"
William Durrell McCarty was
chairman of the day. Owing to the
absence of Leo Brewer, official in

GARBAGE DISPOSAL.

Town officials of Newngton. it is said, have successfully solved the problem originating from the dis posal of garbage in the town, and thereby have ended an agitation that brought state health commissioner from Hartford to the scene Of the garbage disturbance.
 One of the gentlemen who has been feeding garbage to pigs in the town has been given until October to dispose Of his pigs, according to news paper reports. Nothing is said as to whether he can keep his pigs if he does not feed them upon garbage, but as most pigs are fed upon a garbage diet it Is presumed it is case of no garbage no pigs.
 Of course, it would be hard on the pigs if meanwhile they were denied their delicacies, so provisional per init has been given permitting a spe- cified amount of garbage daily being fed 10 the animals, These pigs ap- pear 10 be the only porkers in Con nccticut whose daily ratlone are spe- citied by town officials.

Observations On He Weather

Washington, July 23.--Forecast for southern New England: Fair to- night, slightly cooler in eastern Maine: Thursday fair; moderate northwest winds.
 Forecast for Eastern New York: Fair tonight and Thursday not much change in temperature; gentle north west and west winds.
 Conditions: The disturbance which was central over Ontario yesterday morning passed out the St. Lawrence valley last night. Ii caused local showers in the eastern portion of the great lakes and New England. It is followed by an area Of high pressure which is producing pleasant weather in all sections east of the Mississippi. The temperature is rising slowly but the atmosphere is very dry with a fresh breeze from the northwest.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity fair weather with cool nights.

THAT oyERDRAIT.

The estimated overdraft Of sl?,oo0 in the health department Is only partly due to health matters, and what there Is Of it due 10 health ma terialized from an emergency incident to the smallpox epidemic.
 Part Of the overdraft is due to the fact that in this city the health de- partment Is forced 10 supervise gar bage collections. In most cities this is the duty Of another department of the city government. The health de- partment cannot in justice be held responsible for the increased costs Of collecting garbage, a division of pub lie functioning that many will agree should not be part of that depart ment's duties.
 That portion of the overhaul which was due 10 the smallpox epidemic was entirely iustiiiable. The epidemic on the whole was handled effectively. To combat the emergency cost money, but the main point was that the emergency had to be met whatever the cost.

olR BAND CONCERTS,

The city government again is pros 'iding weekly band concerts in Wal nut ilill park. and how popular they are can be judged from the large crowds in attendance every Wednes, day aight,
 There is something about q band concert that fits in well with the summer months, Essentially outdoor music il is ftting that Their greatest popularity Is linked with summer crowds.
 The strong point about band is that it can be heard longer way than any other musical combination; in fact, there Is only one thing that can beat a brass band in volume of sound. and that Is two brass bands,
 The main trouble with our band coneerts-snd the same thing holds good wherever hand concerts are giHen-is that the ubiquitous small boy is entirely too active around tho band stand. IL Is about ali tho cops can do 10 keep the children from at- tempting to make more noise than the slide trombone. But order will have 10 be maintained If nearby adults are to enjoy the music.
 Weather permitting. band concert will take place in Walnut Hill park tonight. The usual large crowd will attend 10 enjoy 1t. Let's go.

THE REAL HANDICAP.

Clarence Darrow, lawyer for the Leopold and Loeb killers in Chicago, tells us the wealth of his clients fam ilies was a handicap, and that had they been poor boys he could have obtained their acquittal.
 The handicap was there, all pght, but hot along the lines suggested by the lawyer. The wealth handicap was that it enabled the youngsters to in- dulge themselves in a life of ease. with their parents too busy making and spending money to supervise their actions. k these chaps had been forced to work for the money they spent in joyridins and doll-chasing they would have had no time to hatch mischief.
