The end of the winter season looms on the horizon with Lent due on Wednesday, February %. There was a time when this meant a cur ttailing in social activities for a great many but nowadays enter tainments of one sort or another extend throughout the season. To be sure, they are for the most part for the purpose of aiding philan- thropic or charitable institutions, endeavors to aid such institutions being encouraged. Theatrical pro- ductions will vie with auction bridge and between them it is ex- pected there will be raised abun- dant funds.
 A glance at the weeks schedule of events shows on Monday the bridge for the benefit of the Boys club. On Tuesday there is to be the closing luncheon of the Y. w. c. A. drive. Early In March Mater- .link's Blue Bird" will be given un- der the auspices of the Girl Re serves. This is a fair indication of the Lenten seasons program. As a result those who sare left in town are almost as busy giving time and effort to charity as to the several parties each week has.

60 OFFICERS

TESTIFY in
TRIAL
Army and Navy Heads
Among Witnesses Asked
by Colonel.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-P)-
Colonel William Mitchell, on trail by
courtmartial as a result of his criti-
cism of the conduct of the govern
ment's air service today asked
the court to summon Secretaries
Davis, of the War Department, and
Wilbur, of the Navy Department, as
witnesses.
Several other high officials Of the
two departments, several members OF
Congress and more than 60 army and
navy officers also were named by the
defense in u list of those it wouA like
to question. r~'---'.. ~,
The name Of President Coolidge did
not appear on the list. The colonel
and his counsel, after viewing the
legal obstacles that would stand in the
way of n subpoena for the President.
had made up their minds not to try
to summon him.
TO AIR CHARGES
1t was apparent from the coloners
action in seeking to bring cabinet of
ficials and members of Congress into
the trial that he hoped to thrash out
in court the whole range of issues
involved in the air controversy and
thus present a justification for his
charges that the air services had been
administered with criminal and al
most reasonable negligence. Whether
the court will admit that procedure
is questionable.
The army and navy officers for
whom subpoenas were requested by
the defense. included not only those
in direct charge of the two air ser
vices, but those who have general staff
supervision over the army and navy
organizations as a whole.
CALL MhIILLAN
% In addition, various aircraft experts
and other civilians were on the list
submitted by the coloners counsel.
They included Donald Macmillan, the
Arctic explorer: Grover Looming. the
aircraft manufacturer Mrs. Zachary
Lansdowne, widow Of the commander
of the Shenandoah; Reed Lands. Of
Chicago. and Anton Heinen, one Of
the designers of the Shenandoah.
The defense also requested that
Secretary Jardine of the Agriculture
Department. Everett Sandersop, sec.
rotary TO President Coolidge. and
Dwight Morrow, head Of the Presi-
dents special air board, be called.

ADVENTUR|NG
LIFE ENDS
QUIETLY
Former Aviator Stricken
as He Sits in
Cathedral.

After counting death in many forms
for many years, Walter F. Ward, 81.
adventurer and soldier of fortune, was
stricken Sunday while sitting in a
rocking chair at the Scottish Rite
Cathedral. He died twenty minutes
later.
An autopsy will be held over the
body to determine the cause Of death.
Best known to his friends under the
name of Jack Dalton, Mr.. Ward was
spectacular figure. As an army
aviator he was attached to the Perish
ing punitive expedition into Mexico.
MAIL PILOT.
Later he was one of the first air
plane mail pilots to fly out of Chi
cago. And, between those exploits
he spent his time as an automobile
race driver, contesting with such men
as Barney Ooldfield and Ralph De
Palma.
Apparently in the best Of health,
Mr.. Ward went to the Scottish Rite
Cathedral at 0 o'clock Monday morn
ing to rehearse his part in ritual
istic performance.
One of the last persons to whom
Mr.. Ward spoke was Walter W..
Mitchell Of the Public Service Com
pany. Mr.. Mitchell rode with him
in the ambulance to the hospital.
Once during the drive the stricken
man stirred himself.
PLAN POSTM0RTEM.
"Is that you Mitch" he asked, half
raising on his elbow.
To an affirmative response he an
swered:
'"Good old Mitch" He died without
speaking again.
Though subject to attacks of acute
indigestion, friends of the dead man
said Monday that post mortem
would be held to determine the cause
of his death.
The suddenness Of the attack and
the fact that he was extremely nause-
ated, they said, ed them to believe
his death due to some other cause.
Quiet and retiring, Mr.. Ward never
ceased to be a mystery to those who
thought they knew him best. He was
n member of Patterson lodge No.
1177, A. F. and A. NJ, and took an
active part in Masonic activities.
FOSf FORTUNE.
At the Scottish Rite Cathedral
where he spent much of his time,
there were many who wondered about
his past as he sat for long hours lost
in thought.
The belief that he had at one time
been wealthy and had lost his fortune
was partially verified Monday morn
ing when an angl- on his past life

c. c. Wolfe Says Nation
Foresees Development
Program.

South Texas within two years will
be the center Of the largest boom in
the history of development in the
United States.
Bringing news that at least two of
the large market lines will open houses
in San Antonio within the near future,
C. c. Wolfe, secretary of the trade ex-
tension department of the Chamber Of
Commerce.. returned Saturday after
spending two weeks studying trade ex-
tension methods in Chicago, Cincin-
natl, St. Louis and Memphis.
Mr.. Wolfe said he intended telling
leading merchants and jobbcrs of these
cities of the advantages and resources
of San Antonio and its contributing
territory.
WOLFE LISTENS.
Instead of talking, he listened.
''Those people," he said, "know more
about our state than we do ourselves,
and they are already turning their
eyes to the state that is beginning to
be the talk Of the nation, the scene Of
the next big BOOM"
Throughout the territory he covered
on his trip, Mr.. Wolfe said, the men
of big business are beginning to trans
fer their attention from California and
Florida, the scenes of the last booms,
to Texas. Many are already taking
steps preliminary to getting int the
big swim.
Decentralization of the jobbing in
terests of the country has already be-
gun, Mf. Wolfe said. In conferences
with business men and industrial lead
ers of such places as Chicago and st.
Louis, Mr.. Wolfe found them already
affected by the new movement.
FORESEE BOOM.
Merchants of these centers told me
frankly" Mr.. Wolfe said, "that they
find it increasingly difficult to get
the business of Texas and other South
western states. Jobbing houses OF
this section, they said, are beginning
to get the business.
"A Chicago millinery house, one OF
the largest of its kind in the United
States, is contemplating shutting down
because it cannot compete with the
distributors here"
Though plans are yet in prelim-
mary state, Mr.. Wolfe said, he learn
ed on his trip of at least two large
wholesale houses which intend hav-
ing their lines represented in San
Antonio within the near future.
The opinion Of the business inter
ests of the old established centers,
Mr.. Wolfe said, is not only that the
Texas boom will be one of the largest
the nation has ever seen, but that it
will be one of the most substantial.
Everywhere I went" he said, Il
