it?
That's a common occurrence in San

Carson street, has a pear tree in full
fruitage and it's the second crop
this year.
The pear tree is eight years old and
there is 50 much fruit on 1t the
branches lean over against the house.
The pears are about half grown with
faint traces of delicious yellow tinge
beginning to appear BY January Mrs.
Bee:ley will have them made into pre-
serves.
When Mrs. Beezley preserves her
regular crop of pears in July, she is
not through with her pear preserving,
like most housewives. There is Janu-
airy TO look forward to with December
bringing on another tree full Of pears.
The first winter after I came TO
San Antonio-that's been five years
ago-there were but few pears on the
tree, but each winter brings forth

Thief WITH
PISTOL

Interrupting Mrs. Blanche Scott
1902 North Pine Street, Sunday night
as she addressed Christmas cards
proved exceedingly dangerous for 8
negro burglar.
Her interest diverted by a hurrying
pen as it dispatched greeting after
greeting. Mrs. Scott failed to hear the
burglar as he forced an entrance
through rear window. He gained
the shelter of the bathroom without
betraying his presence.
FIRES AT NEGRO.
He cautiously opened the door and
stepped into the room where Mrs.
Scott sat. The hinges creaked. For
a moment they faced each other and
then Mrs. Scott leaped to her feet
and ran across the room to where a
pistol lay on the dresser.
The negro turned and fled. Mrs.
Scott followed. As ne reached the
back porch, she fired. Again she shot
as the negro dived through the screen.
INTRUDER ESCAPES.
She followed into the back yard,
but the negro disappeared in the dark
.nese. She then notified police.
Detective Captain Harvey and De-
tectiye Stendebach were detailed to
her home to take up the hunt. They
failed 10 arrest any suspects.

MISSING DAT A
SOUGHT IN
DRY CASE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-P9-
Prohibition headquarters searched to-
day for Government records stolen
from its files while dry advocates
planned means of more easily opening
the doors Of suspected private homes
to prohibition agents.
The missing records concerned the
much-discussed Mayflower hotel liquor
case in which an agent spent nearly
$1,000 in arresting two men, who were
subsequently acquitted, and which was
the subject Of a long address, In the
House Saturday by Representative
Gallivan, Republican, Massachusetts.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
revealed that the papers had been
stolen Just prior to the trial OF the
two men. Wayne B. Wheeler. gen.
eral counsel for the Anti-Saloon
League. also knew, he said, last night,
that the records had vanished, but ne
declined to name one or two men TO
whom he said suspicion was directed.
In the course Of a reply 10 Repre-
sentative Gallivan, Mr.. Wheeler won
uereQ WHY the HdltCI IdN nv ~
tracted the Congressman's attention.
Al theNtime he announced that bill
would be presented soon to amend the
.Yolstead Act TO permit prohibition
agents to search homes on any evi.
dence of manufacture Of distilled
spirits. Present regulations requiring
that an agent. have evidence Of sale
before receiving a search warrant are
hampering enforcement, he said.
Scarcely had Mr.. Wheeler added his
TO the weekend prohibit
ltion argument before his organization
and other dry agencies were attacked
from another quarter. Representative
Berger. Socialist, Wisconsin, in a
statement charged the "drys' with
.'creatoing a series Of evils greater
than the one they intended to re-
move" He raped certain legislators
also. for permitting fanatics and the
Anti-SaloOn League 10 create situa-
ton in which drunkenness is more
general than ever As n happy me-
dium Mr.. Berger has introduced r
bill TO legalize 4 per cent beer and
IL per cent wine.
