T. B. Baker to Meet Strauss
Company Official to
Arrange Details.

Erection of a History office build
ing on Travis street and a 350.room
addition to the Gunter Hotel, for
which tentative plans were announced
few days ago, was practically as.
sured with the arrival of Il. Il. Baker,
president of the Baker Hotel Com.
pany, in San Antonio Saturday, al.
though he refused to say positively
that me project Will be carried TO com
plerion.
The first essential in a project Of
this magnitude is the financing" Mr..
Baker said. We are planning ar
engagements with the s. w. Strauss
Company Of Chicago"
Beyond that statement, the hotel
man would not discuss plans for the
erection OF the new buildings.
PLAN CONFERENCE.
However, it was learned that he
will meet Z. ]. Dee, vice president OF
the Strauss Company, in Dallas next
Monday, or in Chicago ten days later.
At this conference definite plans for
financing the buildings are expected to
be completed.
Mr.. Dee, with other officers Of his
company, was in San Antoine for sew
eral days this week, looking over the
situation, and making initial arrange
ments for the buildings. 1t was on
his authority that tirst announce
ment that the structures will be erect
cd was made. He left Friday night
for Houston, where he will complete
arrangements for the $5,0OO,000 addi-
ton to the Rice Hotel, which his com
pany is financing.
Under the proposed plans as an
nounced by Mr.. Dee, the 35O-room adj
dition to the Gunter will be built in
the rear of the present hotel on St.
Mary's street. 1t will cost approx
mately S1,250,0O0.
START WORK SOON. -.
The History office building will be
erected at Travis and jefferson
streets, adjoining the st. Anthony
Hotel. 1t will be a separate project
from the hotel, as local business men
will be financially interested in it
with the Baker Company.
Work on the office building will
probably be started within the next
80 days, it was learned. 1t is not
known when work on the hotel annex
will begin. Herbert 5. Green has been
retained as architect for both build
ings.
Mr.. Baker, who went Immediately to
the Menger Hotel on his arrival in this
city, has recently returned from n
tour of Europe, where he studied man
agement and conditions of continental
hotels. He expects to adopt some Of
the features which he found in Euro
pean hotels.

RADIO "IMPULSED"
AUTO RUNS AMUCK

NEW YORK, Aug. 20. = Down
Fifth avenue today rolled motor
car with no one ur the wheel.
1t lodged in and out hunting the
great open spaces that are not there.
A taxi man invented several new
branches of higher profanity as the
frolicksome horseless-driverless car
riage picked him for destruction then
passed him by leaving him a heart
that was hitting on single cylinder.
Up to Forty-seventh street a man,
who said his name was Francis Hou-
dina, and not the trickster-reached
over and grabbed the wheel. By vir-
tue of that valiant deed, the car
crashed into sedan at the curb.
1t was quite all right, Houdina ex-
planned, or would have been. Only the
young man in a car behind, who was
driving the driverless car by radio i'm
pulses, got nervous in a pinch and
crossed his impulses.
The experiment was great success,
he said. 1t proved that car could be
driven by radio on Fifth avenue the
main street of the nation.

HEN LOOKS JUST

SALTWATER, Okla, Aug. 90
A 2-year-old hen owned by Fred L.
Fix, Coyle poultry raiser, has devel-
oped fine sets of saddle and tail
feathers which make her appear to be
n rooster. Her carriage about the
barnyard is similar to that of the
masculine of the fowl.
So unusual was the appearance of
the hen, dark Brown Leghorn, that
Fix sent her to the poultry depart
ment of Oklahoma A. & NJ. College
for inspection. "The chicken is a ma
tural pOulard, or an unsexed hen, the
opposite Of capon." says Professor
r. r. Thompson. "Such thing is
known TO poultry men," Thompson
says, "but it is rare, indeed"

will be no break in the hot wave.
There may be local thunder-showers
throughout the district.
FAIR WEATHER.
Fair weather will prevail in the
Upper Mississippi and Lower Mis-
souri, Valleys, but there is a probable
ity Of showers the latter part of the
week, the government weather doctor
says. The weather will be cooler dur

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
BALTIMORE, February 27.-A plan
to serve part of the old main line
with a gasoline car is being consid-
cred by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road. The road proposed to the Pub
lie Service Commission that it be
allowed to abandon two steam trains
on the line.
Under the plan, which has not off,
cially been broached either to citi-
zens opposing removal of the trains
or the commission, the steam train
would run between Baltimore and
Avalon or Sykesville. The gas car
would run between the steam termi-
nus and Frederick.
1t is understood labor organizations
have objected to the gasoline train
plan because of the small crew re-
Quired.
