ROCK QUARRY
FAV ORED
AS SITE
Steffler Suggests Erecting
Arena Similar to Rome
Colosseum.

The conversion of the rock quarry
near Breckenridge park into mann
moth amphitheater similar to the
colosseum of ancient Rome probably
will be one of the city's next big
projects, Paul Steffler, street COM
missioner, announced Tuesday.
The soft limestone substance has
been excavatcd from an area of ap-
proximately 10 acres in the last 20
years.
And with 2500 large truckloads of
the rock being blasted each month for
the paving of San Antonio streets, it
will be matter of only n short time
until the supply will be exhausted, he
asserted.
1T is our plan to chiscl rows of
seats in the upper part of the giant
pit and then erect a wall about it in
which more seating space can be pro-
vided," Commissioner Steffler said.
A means to pecvent the amphi-
theater from filling with water easily
can be provided.
The municipal structure will pro-
vide a place where pageants and all
other means of entertainment, includ-
ing races and rodeos. can be staged.
Despite the fact that such a trc-
mendous amount of rock is being Sc
cured monthly, there is still a suf-
ficient supply to make rock bases
for every unpaved street in San An
tonic" Mr.. Stcffler estimates.
in addition to saving the city mil
lions of dollars in its paving pro-
grams, the quarry will form one of the
most valuable assets of any city in
the United States" he declared.

COOL|DCE'S AIR
BOARD GETS
FREE HAND

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Pl
President Coolidge will give his air
craft investigating board a free hand
as to the witnesses to be summoned
and the course of procedure to be fol-
lowed.
Acceptances have not yet been re-
ccived from all of the nine men asked
to serve, but the executive is conf.
dent that all of them will accept.
Mr.. Coolidge feels that the board
must decide for itself whether its
hearings are to be open to the public
but sees no argument against open
sessions unless perhaps at sometime in
the investigation the board should
consider confidential plans for the ma
tional defense.
The policy to be pursued in this
course, he thinks, can be best de-
cided by the board after it has con-
vened and organized.

FIRE URGED
BY LEWIS

With the things which can be &C.
compIished toward making great
offensive unit against fire by the two
northern countries of the North Amer
lean continent as his subject, George
F. Lewis, president of the association
of Canadian Fire Marshals, made the
principal address at the Fire Mar
shars Convention in the Gunter
hotel, Tuesday morning.
The making of insurance policy con-
ditions such that persons of unscrupu-
lous character be unable to obtain in
surance, and the proper control of the
human element were suggested by Mr..
Lewis as the best ways in which the
international insurance men could help
in the elimination of incendiary and
accidental fires, respectively.
This would have to be accomplished
through an extensive educational cam
paign, he said.
INSURANCE TOO CHEAP"
Insurance is too cheap, when it
comes to the matter of who may OBJ
tain it without worthy references,
Mr.. Lewis said.
"The Fire Department As a Social
Factor in the Community Building
and How 1t Relates to Fire Protection
and Our National Waste" was the
subject of Robert L. Currier, Florida S
state agent of the Aetna Fire Insur-
ance company. Mr.. Currier told of
the development of the fire depart
ment of Black Mountain, n. c., into
one of the best small town fire de-
partments in the country, of how the
citizens bought equipment, erected a
building, and of the many social events
which take place monthly in the fire
department, for its members and hon.
orary members of the volunteer or

OPERATORS
MUST PAY
TAXES
Bass Says Failure to Com
ply Will Result in
Prosecution.

San Antonio bootleggers must split
with Uncle Sam or take the conse-
quences.
So declared James W. Bass, collec-
tor of internal revenue for the first
Texas district, in San Antonio Tues
day, after a conference with Major
H. G. Glover, in charge of the revenue
office here.
I'VE will prosecute in every Instance
where it is shown the bootlegger has
not paid for license to distill liquor,
and where the regular revenue on the
distilled product has not been forth
coming, after a preliminary hearing is
held" declared Mr.. Bass.
Recent rulings Of the internal reve.
nue. department in Chicago hold boot
lcggers are liable for an income tax,
also, and that information given in
their tax return could not be used
against them for federal prosecution
for violation of the Volstead act.
HEAD TAX LISTS.
ain this district, bootleggers led
the list in paid-up income taxes" de-
clared Mr.. Bass. Evidently they
know we can trace them anyway. But
whatever the reason may be, bootleg
gers in the Southwest pay their income
tax more promptly than any other
class of citizen"
1T is difficult. however" Mr.. Bass
smiled, "to explain to gamblers that
they cannot deduct their gambling
losses from their income tax return,
while their winnings must be listed"
In regard to licensing Of stills, Mr..
Bass declared, all bOotlcggers already
convicted would face civil suits for
not having applied for license, and
for not paying revenue on the spirits
manufactured.
BASS OPINION.
I'm the case of a bootlegger who
applies for a license, and is refused,
which would be the natural course
that would follow" Mr.. Bass con-
tinucd, Il do not believe that boot
logger could be penalized for non-pay-
ment Of internal revenues. because OF
his application. Whether be was con-
victed on criminal charges would have
no bearinS on the case in that event.
This is only my personal opinion, how
ever, as l don't think such a case las
ever been tried
Mr.. Bass attended the preliminary
hearings here Tuesday, and expected
to leave for Austin Tuesday night.
He declared that he expected an
early adjustment Of the inheritance
tax. and a great reduction in he IN
come tax where II applies to the sal
aired man, by next year.
