SHENANDOAH, GIANT
NAVAL AIRSHIP, MAY
NOT BE BROUGHT HERE
TICS Blin,p Will Certainly
Be in San Antonio for
Balloon Races.

Reports that are being made on the
Shenandoah, giant airship of the
United States navy, will probably
make it impossible TO have the big
dirigible brought to San Antonio for
the start of the National Elimination
Balloon Race, according to Maj .Hor-
ace NJ. Hickam Of Kelly Field who has
returned from trip to the North and
East.
Arrangements have practically been
completed to have the TC-3, the blimp
that came to Kelly Field during the
recent air demonstration, here for the
balloon race.
Major Hickam visited the informa-
ton services. of the army and navy
while in Washington and called on
publicity bureaus and newspapers in
regard to publicity matters connected
with the race. Everywhere he found
these agencies anxious to cooperate
with the San Antonio Aeronautical
Association in making the race sue
cess.
He also talked with several entrants
who are enthusiastic over the fact that
the race is 10 Start from this city.
They all consider chances for breaking
the American record extremely good.
Major Hickam states that he found
great interest in aeronautical circles
in New York. Washington, Detroit
and Indianapolis. He also called on
Maj. Albert Bond Lambert, who will
referee the race.
The completion Of the entry of Capt.
II. Il. Honeywell makes seven entries
in the balloon race that have fulfilled
all requirements, and three more are
practically assured. Lieut.. Col. c. c,
Culver, race executive, states that he
feels confident that ten or more appli.
cations will be completed.
First Lieut.. Byron 7. Burt has re.
turned from Scott Field where he
went to select equipment needed for
the start. Lieutenant Burt has been
transferred to Langley Field, Va
Race officials are very anxious fol
him to remain at Kelly Field until
after tn Grace because he is exper-
| fenced in arranging the start.

WOOL PRICES RISE
IS Cents Paid For Grown Hair and
so Cents Paid For Kid Clips.

r. San Angelo. March 15.-With the
shearing of goats in full blast and mo-
hair beginning to arrive at storage
houses in small lots, the range market
on mohair has increased cents per
pound over the seasons opening prices
of 80 cents for grown hair and 10
cents for kid clips, according to re-
ports here.
Arthur Stuart OF Sonora, is one of
a number of sheepmen who have sold
their mohair off grown goats at 80
cents pound. The clips from kids in
Sutton, Menard and other counties
, have been bringing so cents.
The highest mohair prices previously
/ reported were paid in Kimble county,
% IL cents for grown hair and ~ IL
cents for kid clips being paid Prices
several cents higher than the top above
. quoted are reported to have been paid
for a few clips around Ozona, but
when a number of goat raisers offered
to sell at the same figure, the buyers
withdrew, indicating that the deals at
above the range prices might have been
intended to stem contracting.
Practically no wool is being con.
tracted at present. The market in the
East is steady. but draggy right now
buyers say. The expect a resumption
of selling when the first wool of the
: new crop begins to be sheared about
the middle of April.

FIND BODY OF
DRUGGIST WHEN
OPENED
Austin B. Ellis Found Dead
in Place of Business on
Crayson.
MISSING THREE DAYS
Coroner Unable to De-
termine Whether Mer-
chant Killed Self.

Austin B. Ellis, As, proprietor of
the Ellis drug store, 1904 Grayson
street, was found dead in his place
of business at 5 AS Saturday after
noon. He had been missing for three
days, during which time his store was
closed.
Justice R. Neill Campbell, conduct
ing the inquest, held his verdict in
allegiance pending the analysis of a
small quantity of white, crystalline
powder, found in glass near the
body. A powder similar to that in
the glass was found on the dead mans
vest.
The body was discovered by A. J.
Kruger, ,335 Austin road, and G..
Wernweg. 1923 North Alamo street,
friends of Ellis, when, after the con-
tinued absence of the druggist. they
decided to enter his store, fearing
something had happened to him. They
notified central police headquarters
when they found his body.
Gas Heater Burning.
When Chief of Police Van Ripper,
Detective Captain Street and station
, officers entered the place they founl
Ellis lying on his back upon n pallet
of several coats. trousers and an
overcoat on the floor. The body was
lying at the north end Of the soda
fountain and directly below the street
display window. The body could not
be seen from the sidewalk.
The fire in the gas heater was still
burning when the police entered and
the mans right knee rested against
one edge of the heater The body
was rigid, indicating death had oc-
Cured many hours prior to discovery.
| Friends told officers Ellis had not
been seen since last "Wednesday night.
The drug store was closed and the
electric lights had been turned off.
Detectives were unable to determine
whether death was due to natural
causes or whether self-inflicted. There
was nothing to indicate foul play.
| Had Faced Recent Charges.
| Judge Campbell recognized the dead
man as one of three defendants in
his court during the early, part Of
the week, against whom a state health
officer had filed affidavits charging
! them with conducting a drug store
while not a registered druggist, which
cases were subsequently dismissed.
Ellis had no relatives here, it was
said. Mr.. Kruger said Ellis had be.
come separated from his wife and chill
dren about n year ago and that they
resided in California. Ellis, he said
had recently endeavored to sell hi
drug store because of business de-
preston.
Documents among his personal eff.
fects showed that Ellis was a memebr
in good standing in the B. p. 0. r.
lodge of Santa Ana, Cal. The body
was sent to an undertaking parlor
where it will be held pending inves
legations into the probable cause Of
death and while search is made for
relatives.

AIR MAIL FOR CITY
in 1925 TO RECEIVE
PRESIDENTS CARE
Prospects Are That San
Antonio Will Be on
New Route.

kilograms received by the San An
tonic Chamber of Commerce from the
National Aeronautical Association Of
New York City express the associa-
tion's appreciation for the co-opera-
ton received from San Antonio in the
movement to obtain from Congress an
appropriation large enough to care for
the present expense of operating the
northern air mail route, and includ-
ing the operating expenses attached TO
night flying. a letter was also re-
ceived by the San Antonio chamber
Saturday from G.. b. Slemp, secretary
to President Coolidge, assuring the
San Antonio chamber that the mat
ter of including this city in the 1928
appropriation that will create n south
ern air mail route will receive the
Presidents early attention and con-
sideration.
The message from the national asso-
citation states that the Senate has
approved the S1,500,0O0 appropriation
for air night flying and says, in part :
1--WE are pleased TO advise you that
the Senate has approved Senator
Phipp's amendment to the air mai
item in the post office appropriation
bill, providing an additional $1,000,
900 for night flying, in addition to
the S1,500,000 previously agreed upor
| for the continuance of the existing dag
time transcontinental service"
While this appropriation does no
provide for southern air route
which would include San Antonio, th'
bill proves that air mail is no longel
an experiment, according to Ralph il
Durkee, publicity secretary OF tn
chamber. through whose efforts in CO
operation with the military affair
committee the question of providing
air mail for San Antonio has beef
presented to the President.
1.-The passage of an additional al
mail and night flying appropriate
seems to spell victory for the 192
appropriation, which will attempt I
provide a southern route that woul
include San Antonio" Mr.. burke
stated. THE fact that the letter fror
the military affairs committee of Sa
Antonio in regard to inclusion in tn
new route has received such promp
attention in Washington, also seem
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-03-16

an encouraging assurance that this
city will soon have air mail service"
The letter from Mr.. Slcmp, the
Presidents. secretary. stated that the
letter from the military affairs COM
mittee of the San Antonio Chamber
Of Commerce had been received, and
that it would be brought to the Pres
idents attention by Mr.. Slemp at the
earliest possible time.
