Woman's Plea Decides
Place for 1926 West
Texas Conference.

San Angelo was selected as the next
meeting place FOR the West Texas
Conference of the Southern Methodists
after eloquent pleas from that city,
Corpus Christi ana Uvalde Saturday
morning.
Ministers and laymen spoke in
favor of each city, without visible
effect, but when Mrs. II. +. Jackson,
a lay delegate from San Angelo
spoke it appeared to turn the tide
toward the "Queen City of the Texas
Prairies." After the vote for San
Angelo showed 12G and Corpus Christi
go, the Rev. J. C. Campbell who had
nominated Uvaldc, withdrew and ask
cd that San Angelo be made the
unanimous choice, which was done.
Election of clerical alternates to the
general conference, which was com
menced Thursday, was completed
Saturday morning, resulting in the
naming of the following ministers:
W. l.. Barr of Corpus Christi; J.
Sterling Fisher, Of Austin; s. l..
Bachelor, of Uvalde and H. NJ. Rat
lift, of San Antonio.
LAY CONVERSIONS.

100000 for the maintenance of
Westmoorland College was requested
Saturday of the conference by DR..
L. r. Stanford, president of the col
lege.
DIR. Stanford told of the campaign
in San Antonio last spring which re-
suited in raising 100000, which
placed the college in fairly good shape
and enabled it to construct a badly
needed dormitory. The fund request
ed, he said, would enable the college
TO go forwar in such strides that it
soon would take front place in col
leges of its class. His chief aim, he
said, is to- make it a class A insti-
tuition.
The cornerstone of Mary Catherine
hall, the S150,OOO dormitory donated
by Mr.. and Mrs. McFarlin, was laid
by Bishop Dickey Friday.

Tonight is Halloween. And IL the

HALLOWED DAY.
In ancient times Halloween-the
time when departed souls come back

was believed that all dead folk were
saints.
But noww know that certain peo-
pie would make dandy COLLINS, proba-
bly, without any makeup, and that 9TH
gloom-chasers and joy-killers-
will make excellent jinxes. And judg-
ing from the imbibing powers of other
people, it seems that they could easily
change into dangerous spirits without
undergoing a great transition.
Another peril mas been added to
Halloween with modern times-the
recipes for brews that Quakers made
to keep witches a0ay have been lost,
and present-day brews help only to
make you see double witches and TO
make COLLINS appear when there aren't
any.

Counsel in the court-martial proceed

were taking advantage of an adjourn

This will start the actual trial of

by efforts of the defense TO halt the
trial, when the court took an early

CIR RICHARD REDMAYNE,
- who understands oil, says the
worlds supply will be exhausted in
100 years. and the supply of the
United States in % years. That is
largely guesswork, of course. Nobody
knows how much oil is hidden I'M

Pacific, up in the Arctic, in Mexico
and elsewhere.
And when some genius finds way

be enough of it to provide for 1000
years and more, at the present rate
of consumption.

MAY ASK COOLIDGE.


Colonel Mitchell and his counsel,
meanwhile are going to decide wheth-
er they will ask the court that he be
confronted there by his accuser, mean-
ing either President Coolidge, Secre-
tary of War Dwight Davis, or both.
If Representative Reid of Illinois,
the defendants civilian counsel, does
decide to ask the court to issue o
subpoena for President Coolidge as a
witness, there was no doubt today that
the move would come to naught. Le-
gal military authorities have definite
~ decided, it was said, that court
martial has no authority by which it
may summon the President as a wit
ness, precedents for such an opinion,
it was added, being found in the de-
cisions of the United States Supreme
Court.
"a PRESIDENTIAL COURT"
A request for the summons Of Sec
rotary Davis, however, would present
a question, which. in the absence of
.precedents. the court would have to
decide on it's own responsibility. Al
though he said he would reach no
definite decision on the matter until
the court reassembles Monday, Mr..
Reid basis his contention that Presi-
dent Coolidge is ,he accuser of Col
onel Mitchell ON the statement. of the
trial judge advocate, Colonel Sherman
Moreland, that he is being tried by
"a presidential court"

SSCwEEPING gains for the Con
- servatives" are reported in
Montreal. The Canadian premier,
King, and several of his Liberal min
listers are beaten for election to the
Commons. Nothing surprising in
that. This is the age Of conserya-
tism, which goes with high wages,
real estate booms and general pros
perity.
The Canadians, with their dollar
worth more than the American dol
lar, and everything booming, are
satisfied with things as they are"
and that's conservatism in Canada,
the United States or the Congo.

SURPRISE FOR GHOSTS.

Witches and ghosts are supposed to
walk tonight and they probably VIII
be surprised at the lack of din, which
in past years has interrupted their
own ideas of noise-making. And
Chief Miller adds for the benefit oil
the COLLINS that his promises are not
idle ones.
"We are prepared" the chief de-
clares grimly.
A double shift Of policemen, who
are going to forget their childhood,
will be on duty. 1t will be their
pleasure to arrest any violator Of
state statute or city ordinance.
In addition TO these, IS firemen
are going to relinquish the nozzle for
the night stick. A like number of
policemen will join them. After be-
ing paired, the policeman-fireman com-
binations will patrol the city in IS
automobiles.

- Government crop reports an

Why is it necessary to broadcast to

sTHE Bank of America and pro-

thinks it a great danger for the .coun-

The height of absurdity is reached
in the effort to hamper the develop

on the biggest possible scale. Euro

supremacy in "the movies" seek to

queer for American authorities to
tear down what the genius of Amer

Complaint is made that one con-

too many theaters, and puts its own

What of it? Let somebody else
produce more pictures, and build bet

to build theaters and make pictures.

The New York World and Chi
