Increase in Mail Service to Be
Sought by Connecticut Avenue
Association.

William S. Quinter was reelected
president of the. Connecticut Avenue
Citizens Association at a meeting in
All Souls Church, Connecticut and
Cathedral avenues, last night.
Other officers chosen were; First
vice president, Harry c. Grove; second
vice president, Arthur f.. Dowell; sec
retary. Sidney Roche, and treasurer,
Elizabeth r. Groves. Mr.. Quinter and
Mr.. Roche were elected as delegates to
the Federation of Citizens Assocta-
tions.
The city postmaster will be asked to
make a survey of the community with
view to increasing the mail service.
1t was pointed out that the large in
crease in population in this area has
rendered the present delivery and col
lection service inadequate to supply
the needs.
Approval was voiced at the action
of the Commissioners in changing sub
station II, in Tenleytown, to a full po.
lice precinct, which change, 1t was an
nounced, would become effective De

with others in the neighborhood, has

Powerful Light
OF New Type Aids
Salvaging of S-5l
BY toe Associated Press.


A new light for use in deep sea
diving work, more powerful than
any used heretofore. has been de-
veloped by the Navy for salvaging
operations in connection with the
raising of the submarine S-5l,
which was sunk in collision off
Block Island several weeks ago.
Rear Admiral Plunkett, in COM
mand of the Third Naval District,
with headquarters in New York,
gave Secretary Wilbur q personal
report on the light and the prog
ress of the salyaging operations.
The light throws a powerful glow
about the wreck, which lies more
than 120 fathomS deep. and largely
as a result of this, the admiral re-
lated, the salvaging operations
have progressed rapidly. and 1t will
be possible TO raise the submarine
in a few days.

CLAIMS FILED
ON TEXAS BY
MEX|CANS
Alleged Damages in 1886
Basis for Flood Of
Damage Suits.
By Universal Service.


WASHINGTON. Aug. ga flood
of last-minute claims running into
hundreds of millions of dollars swamp
ed the Mexican-American General
Claims Commission in final deluge
tonight before midnight marked the
closing of the regular period fixed for
filing.
Mexican claims by the score arising
out of alleged land seizures made by
the state of Texas a century ago fea-
tured the eleventh hour.
The bulk of the American claims
are based on land seizures, made by
the Mexican government in accord
ance with the terms of the so-called
Agrarian laws.
$500 CLAIMS FILED.
The total of American claims ex-
ceeds 1000, while the Mexican is
placed at between 400 and 500. Final
figures will not be available until next
week. ~.
The Mexican claims involving Tex
as gave an entirely new aspect to the
proceedings before the commission
Earlier Mexican claims had been based
largely upon alleged personal injury
and upon damage said to have been
done by American forces of occupa-
ton at the time Of the Vera Cruz ex-
pedition.
The Texas cases arise directly as a
result of the revolt of the Lone Star
State against Mexico, its subsequent
independence, and its final annexation
to the United States. Unlike the othe,
states Of the Southwest, Texas joinet
the Union as an independent govern
ment and so retained sovereignty over
its public lands.
LAND CONFISCATED.
The Mexican claims, amounting to
hundreds of millions of dollars, ar,
based upon the charge that action b.
the Texas State legislature half 4
century ago operated to impair the
old Spanish titles and to confiscatc
great areas of land held under thost
titles. Mexico would hold the United
States liable for the losses involved.
Although the regular time for filinl
general claims expired tonight, specia
cases will be considered by the claims
commission where it can be shown
that there is good reason for failure
to act sooner. Americans having re
cent claims resulting from seizure un
der Mexican Agrarian laws also ma!
file their claims for damages.
TIE first case, it is expected, will b
taken up in January by the Genera
Claims Commission, meeting in Wash
ington. -s

TRANSPORTATION OFFERED.
The land is situated between two
railroads, the I.-G. N. and the South

transportation facilities into San An
tonic. Highways intersect the prop
erty as well, so motor transportation
is assured.
When ready for irrigation, the land
will be settled. 1t is expected that it

will not be affected by any drouth

TRAIL
FOLLOWED
AGAIN i
Daughter Of Wealthy Oil
Man Vanishes From
Uncle's Home.

While police were seeking her, II
year-old forger returned to the store
where she had cashed a worthless
check Saturday afternoon, "spoofed"
her victim for a short time and then
left the store without making good the
merchants loss.
Police are still seeking her.
The girl came to San Antonio after
leaving a trail of worthless checks be-
hind her in Fort Worth. A local mer-
chant told police Saturday morning
that he had cashed a check for $52.50
for the girl, and that she had bought
a hat from him with part Of the
money. A short time after the girl
had left, he said, he learned that the
name of the girls father had been
forged to the check.
PHONES FOR MONEY.
The girl returned to the store Sat
urday evening. She was wearing the
hat which she had bought" from the
merchant. He told her the check was
no good.
She expressed establishment.
"Why, father is wealthy and has
large bank account" she said. Il
will put in a long distance call for
him at Fort Worth and fix it up"
She went to the merchants tele-
phone and apparently put in long
distance call for Fort Worth. She
carried on a conversation. The mer-
chant overheard her tell her ''father"
to wire money to make good the check
direct to the store. She then rang off.
AGAIN DISAPPEARS.
1.-THE telegram with the money
should be here in few minutes now"
she told the merchant as she turned
from the phone.
81 will go to lunch and by the time
1 get back the money should be here"
she added.
She departed. The merchant waited.
Time passed. The money did not ar
rive, nor did the girl return.
Again, the merchant reported the af-
fair to police.
COMMITTED TO ASYLUM.
She has disappeared from the home
of her uncle in this city and efforts of
Detectives Harris and Herbst to locate
her we're fruitless Saturday night.
She is said to have forged checks on
her father totaling $1,000 while in
Fort Worth. The parent took care
of the checks, but eventually had the
girl examined by physicians. who de-
clared her insane.
She was committed to the South
western Insane hospital in this city.
PAROLED TO UNCLE.
After a time she was paroled from
the asylum to her uncle, who lives in
San Antonio.
Two weeks ago the uncle reported
that the girl was missing from his
home.
Detectives found her at house on
San Pedro avenue. She had engaged
a taSicab driver to take her to a fic-
titious address on Beacon Hill. When
the chauffeur could not find the num-
Der she gave him, he put her out of
his car and charged her more than
IS for his trouble.
She wandered aimlessly about the
city until dark, when she met some
girls and asked them where she could
spend the night. They took her to
