FRANZ GROOS
FORECASTS :
INCREASED
TRADE
Merchants and Republic :
Both Pay Debts as
Confidence Returns.

Renewed business rela-
tionship on a larger scale
than ever before between
San Antonio and the cities of
Northern Mexico is predict
ed by Franz C. Groos, president Of
the Groos National bank.
Mr.. Groos has returned from 10
day business trip to Mexico, during
which time he surveyed conditions in
that country.
San Antonio business men can
take advantage of the potential bust
ness just as fast as they care to with
conservative restrictions" Mr.. Groos
said.
Business conditions throughout
Northern Mexico, he said. are good
and are improving steadily.
LIQUIDATE DEBTS
One OF the most encouraging signs,
he said, from the viewpoint of the
Texas merchant is that current debts
are being liquidated and the first steps
are being taken TO settle old debts.
Improved conditions, in Mr.. Groos'
belief, are due largely to the hopeful
belief of the people in the security
and stability of the present govern
ment.
Mr.. Groos observed improved condi-
tons particularly in the mining BUSH
ness, in guayule rubber production,
and in the livestock market.
Metals and rubber, he said, are
bringing high prices. and large num-
bers of cattle are being imported from
this country.

CAUSE UNKNOWN.

The Overton mine is the property
of the Alabama Fuel and Iron Com
pany and is considered by federal and
state mine officials one of the best
equipped in the Alabama mine field.
The blast did not wreck the air ma
chinery. This aided the rescue par
ties.
The cause of the blast has not been
officially determined and probably
never will be learned positively. Some
mine workers believe it was caused by
miner striking a match, which is
forbidden, or by a windy" shot.
1t is believed most of the bodies
recovered are those of negro workers.
Relatives of the victims were not al
lowed to view the bodies. Identified
ton was being carried out with great
est difficulty. Some may never be
positively identified. .-
UNITED IN GRIEF.
Wearied watchers kept vigil about
the pits mouth through a night of
sorrow. The color line was obliter-
ated; white and negro were united in
a common grief and each tried to as
suage the others loss. Rain began
falling at daybreak, but women, hop
ing to find their loved ones yet alive,
never budged from the guard lines.
One woman who heard the blast
yesterday while she was about her
household duties and knew its mean-
ing has never for a moment left the
mouth of the pit. She Rugged her
baby to her bosom through the night
to protect it from the cold.
A negro miner owes his escape TO
his mule. Back somewhere in the pit
when the gas was worst and condi-
tons appeared darkest for the en-
tombed men, out through the slope
opening dashed a big mule. Clinging
to the mules tail was the negro who
had become temporarily blinded by the
blast and took this means of saving
himself. He said he knew the mule
would "gct out if there was any
settin'." !

1t Costs to Govern.
No Rouge-Healthy.
Work Out the Ape.
Incomplete Epitaph.
By Arthur Brisbane
Copyright. 1895 by Star Co

THIS government in the next fis-
cal year will spend $3,494, 222,-
30S. What becomes of the one
hundred cents in each dollar Of gov
eminent expenditure?
Three and one-third cents repre-
sent the regular cost Of government.
More than sixteen cents are spent
keeping ready for war--and we are
not one per cent ready.
Military pensions, life insurance,
snnuities, ETC., take more than six
teen cents.
INTEREST on the public debt takes
= % cents out of every dollar. Pay
ing off the war debt takes IA cents.
You might remember that when they
talk about getting this country into
the League of Nations, or World
Court, which would mean more debt
and more interest.

Representative Frank r. Reid, chief
counsel for Colonel Mitchell, told the
court these concessions had been re-
ported to the War Department by
Major Raycroft Walsh of the Army
Air Service. who held them to be a
serious menace to the defense of the
Panama Canal.
Mayor Strong said Major Walsh's
report had been used as the basis Of

lishment of United States air mail
service in Central America, but that
negotiations between the two depart
ments and with representatives of the
