tonic. They mean new trade.
San Antonio's old friends, those
who are guests Of the city each winter,

quire. The first of these have already
started arriving.

Prankers FoWow
Police Orders to
BE Yourselves

Prankers and practical jokers took
Chief of Police t. o. Miller at his
word when he ordered them to "be
yourselves" Halloween night. For in
stead Of being peaceful and law abid
ing citizens, downtown street noises
were drowned internationally with the
shreiking of fire apparatus answering
false alarms and mischievous gangs
haunted the Sesidcntinl districts.
OF the most destructive pranks was
the burning of "whiskerS" from palm
trees on Kings Highway between
Howard street and Mccullough ave-
nue.. TIE fire department was called
out to extinguish the blaze. II. is
feared the beauty of the palms will be
marred for several months at a result
of being burnt.
Unaware that a fireman had been
stationed nearby, two youthful mis-
creants will be heralded in corporation
court Monday for turning false fire
alarms. One pulled a box at Pal.
metto and Van Ness streets and an
other at Austin and Carson streets.
Several girls taking advantage Of
the opportunity to fulfill the wish of
every member of the weaker sex at
one time or other were brought to
police headquarters for wearing mems
apparel. They were severely repri.
manded by Captain Brown.
The purchase of crate OF over
ripe ''hen-fruit" several days prior to
Halloween led TO the capture of one
pranker and several members of his
gang. The boys were not bothered by
police until they conferred a barrage
on n fireman watching an alarm box

Name CulbertsOn
To Succeed Jay as
Minister to Rumania

Washington, Apr. o2-President
Coolidge has selected William Cul-
bertson of Kansas. to succeed Peter
A. Jay as minister to Rumania Mr..
Jay soon will be transferred to Ar
gentina.
Mr.. Culbertson. at present vice
chairman of the tariff commission,
has not made known his decision.
He conferred with the president
today and it was assumed that the
executive had laid the diplomatic
appointment before him as perso-
nal matter and promotion, as has
been the case recently within the
foreign service.
State department officials hold the
Rumanian post OF high importance
and have canvassed the names of
numerous available men to find one
capable of maintaining American
rights in the delicate situation OBJ
tanning there.
The record made by Mr. Culbert-
son as a member and official of the
tariff commission . regarded as evil
dence that he can carry out the
firm American policy established by
Secretary Kellogg at Bucharest. In
the tariff commission MIR. Culbert-
son has long been known for his
persistence in support of principles
he favored and this appears to fit
state department requirements.

OF Heresy Defends

William Montgomery Brown. of Ga

Episcopal church, recently convict
ed of heresy by two ecclesiastical
trial courts. tonight delivered the
address which Bishop William T.
Manning forbade him to give at St.
Mark S in the -BouWerie last Sun
day.
Bishop Brown told an audience at
the non -denominational Community
Church that he undoubtedly was a
hereto when judged by theological
standards. but insisted that he had
chosen heresy in preference to ''stul-
tification and hypocrisy. the only
two courses which the church would
permit"
The conflict between modern sci
ence and traditional theology as
practised and taught by the Epis-
copal Church, he said. provided the
background for his recent situation
in the church. This situation had
its inception in 1922 when charges
OF heresy We're preferred against
him, based in statements in his book
Communism and Christianism."
Bishop Brown was invited to speak
by the Rt Rev. William Norman
Guthrie, rector of st. Marks. last
Sunday. Bishop Manning forbade
him the use of the church or any
parish or mission in the New York
diocese.
The address tonight. MY New md

ment text: Seek We first the King

JEWISH ATTORNEY
STARTS MILLION SUIT
AGAINST FORD PAPER

Detroit, April 22.--Damages of ST.
100000 were asked in a suit filed in
L. S. district court here today against
Henry Ford and the Dearborn Pub
fishing Co, which he owns, by Aaron
Sapiro, an attorney who has been con-
nected prominently with cooperative
marketing organizations of farmers
and fruit growers throughout the

ers who seek to control the food mar
kets of the world" 1t further quotes
the publication as saying that the
plaintiff is seeking to get control of
the wheat, cotton. potato. hop, hay, to-
bacco. raisin and bean markets.
Sapiro's petition claims that he has
been active for Is years in building
up marketing associations for agricui-
tural products, that he has not served

requested. and that he has no knowl-
edge of "the existence of any conspira-
cy such as alleged by the defendants
or of any conspiracy to oppose the in
terest of American farmers and pro-
ducers except the Campaign of said
defendants to mislead and deceive the

FRENCH DEPUTIES

Edouard Herriot, former premier.
was elected to the coveted presiden-
cy of the chamber of deputies to.
day in one of the stormiest sessions
ever staged there. He suffered a
studied affront from the opposition.
however. as NJ. Herriot was the only
candidate who failed of election on
the first ballot, his supporters lack
ing l3 of constituting a majority of
the chamber membership, necessary
for a quorum.
On the second ballot he was real
ly unanifously elected. 2G7 to 1, as
this negative vote, it was learned,
was cast by NJ. Herriot himself.
Fist fighting is no novelty in the
French lower house, but today the
presiding officer expressed the great
est indignation that the deputies
should carry their encounters into
the rostrum itself, even upsetting the
chair of the president, who imme-
diately donned his silk hat as a sig
nal that the session was suspended.
This conflict ensued during the
second balloting, when Deputy Bal
anant charged that ten deputies had
voted twice. Two Socialist deputies
attacked him and the fight became
general.
The cabinet triumvirate, Painleve,
CaillauS and BRAND, face the sem
ate tomorrow and will ask for a
vote of confidence on the ministe-
rial declaration presented yesterday.
M. Caillaux will appear before a
body. half the members of which

was sentenced to Imprisonment and
exile and stripped of his civil rights.
Though it is said that the senators
will be reasonably peaceful. there is
no concealment that there is a strong
hostility to Caillaux exists in the up

tention of following tradition and al
lowing the new ministry to show

fore it passes judgment NJ. Call
