CONSTRUCTION
D T | Y { D

Erection of a court of honor to San
Antonio's war dead will await the out
come of negotiations being made for
the purchase of land on the East
Crockett street side of the Alamo by
the San Antonio Conservation So
ciety and other civic organizations.
E. Fl. Kifer and John b. Caring
ton, of the Fiesta association COM
mittee backing the honor court
project. announced Tuesday that
plans for the construction of the
memorial on the plaza opposite the
Alamo have been halted temporarily.
"Those trying to acquire the land
adjacent to the Alamo requested us to
wait and we will not take any definite
steps until it is seen whether their
r.ans materialize." Mr.. Kifer said.
1t was pointed out that a much
more elaborate setting could be had
for the honor court if the property
in question is acquired.
The original intention of the Fiesta
association was TO build a memorial
arch across the plaza on East Crockett
street, but proved impractical.
1t was hoped to have the first unit
of tic court completed for the Fiesta
in April.

ANSWERS AID.

Here is Mr.. Hurd's story:
He was staying in San Diego and
answered an ad of man wishing 10
drive to Ell Paso. He went to see the
advertiser who said his name was
W. r. Howard of Denver. Mr.. Hurd
engaged passage to Ell Paso in the
sedan, which has since been proved to
be that in which Howard left Salt
Lake City. Another passenger was
secured and on December IL, 10 days
after Howard disappeared, the auto
mobile carrying. the three left San
Diego for Ell Paso.
At Ell Paso the third passenger took
a train for nearby city and Mr.. Hurd
registered at a hotel. Several times
the man calling himself Howard called
by and finally said he was going to
New Orleans and Mr.. Hurd again en-
gagged passage. With the driver was a
cowboy, name unknown, as a third
passenger.
They left FL Paso Monday, arrived
in San Antonio at midnight last
Tuesday and registered at hotel.
Early the next morning the three
arose. presumably TO continue on their
way to Houston. They drove out in
the country and stopped, both men
in the front seat pulling guns on Mr..
Hurd and forcing him TO walk into
the brush. Here they robbed him and
tied him to a tree and left. This was
eight miles out on the Zuercher road.
The victim unite his hands and
was taken to the sheriff's office.
When he told them the name given
him by the driver, w. X. Howard.
the officers connected it with that OF
the missing man from Salt Lake City.
All doubt that the real Howard had
been done away with was removed

MECCA FOR
TOURISTS
Boom Draws Investors to
Texas From All Parts
of United States. (

San Antonio's tourist season has
reached the highest peak in the history
of the city and is mounting steadily.
The authority for this statement is
none other than one of the Houston
street traffic policemen who has
found a fitting description for the
traffic on the city's main thorough
fare.
That's not traffic" he said, point
ing to the lane of automobiles be.
fore him. That's a parade of the
United States"
IF you don't believe it, watch the
license tags" he said.
INTERVIEWS TOURISTS.
When automobiles from 80 states of
the Union had passed the corner the
reporter got tired of counting and de-
cidcd be would find out something Of
the people who drove them
"What no, stranger. Whittier
away and how Gomez" he addressed
the occupants of out of-state cars he
found parked on the streets Of the
city.
When he piled them with questions
he found out something the policeman
had not even guessed.
That is that strangers in the city
during the present season are more
than just winter tourists. This year
they are prospective investors as well.
HERE FOR BOOM.
Outstanding in the interviews was
t,e fact that, although San An
tonians and native Texans may or may
not know it, every stranger in the
city, including the man from Cali
f0rnia and from Maine, are sure that
the city and South Texas are in the
first stages of a boom.
Everyone back home was talking
about the Texas boom before 1 left.
People who once thought of Texas
as another world are now talking
San Antonio, the Valley and the
Winter Garden section as though it
were in their barn lot" man from
Minnesota said.
"How about yourself?" he was ask
ed. DO you think this is a good
time to invest here?"
"Sure do" he said, "and I'm look
ing around now for a good char,e to
put in some of the money have
been saving"
HERE TO LIVE.
The same was true of the majority
of others. Many who have been spend
ing the winter in San Antonio for sew
eral years have arrived this year with
Il different view of IL, city's charms.
Their attitude now is: always
knew this was a good place to live.
Now I'm finding out it is the place
to make money, too"
"What'd you find out about those
fellows?" the policeman asked the
reporter, stopping him on his way to
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-05

THE report is correct In its state
mcnt that Lansdowne was con-
suited about the trip. But IL over
looks the fact that his advice and
protests were ignored.
Last June, he told this writer, who
has frequently published the fact,
that such a trip as the one on which
he was killed would probably end
disastrously.
When the order came, he protested,
rs his wife has said, as the records
prove. The records also prove that
his protest was overruled, his advice
was rejected with an Endorsement to
the effect that certain fairs were to
be held, on fixed dates, therefore,
he must make the trip as scheduled.
That order caused his death, and
that Of the good men that died with
him.

everybody expected it would be, dis

sort OF towards that dodge rcspon-
sibility.

numbers.
MOT so long ago, that bank was

And Mr.. Mitchell's bigger bank, the
National City bank has twice as

1T is a difficult undertaking TO
explain to Mexican goat herder in
sign language that you are lost.
"Neither Lieutenant Pharr nor my
self speak Spanish except for few
words and consequently we had to
resort to sign language during our
four days of wandering.
"Thc party, composed Of Lieutcn-
ants auckland, Hamilton, Pharr and
myself, left for hunting trip on
the Salado river in Northern Mex
leo last Tuesday. We arrived at our
destination 20 miles south of the river
late the same afternoon. Wednesday
we began our hunt. On the first day
of our hunting expedition Lieutenants
auckland and Hamilton were lost for
short time but returned to camp.
Pharr and myself kidded them about
being poor soldiers and it was the oc-
casion for the exchange of good ma
tured raillery.
LOSES DIRECTION
Thursday morning we again took
to the brush, hunting. We paired
off, Hamilton and auckland going one
direction while Pharr and l went an
other. Shortly after 1 lost track of
direction and sensed 1 was lost. At
about 2 o'clock 1 knew / was hope
lessly lost.
l wandered about in the brush un.

Hope began TO rise and | thought it
was camp. 1t proved TO be a goat herd

except that 1 was among human be-
lngs. 1 could not make them under.
stand that L was lost. Finally they
seemed to comprehend and the man
went for horses. He returned without
them but his son arrived and after
brief exchange of words in Spanish
left again. This time he returned with
the horses. We mounted, and guided
by the goat herders started on our
way back.

Pair Questioned When

Somewhere between Salt
Lake City and San Diego,
hidden in the brush along
the roadside, is the body of
William r. Howard, son of a
wealthy Salt Lake City business man,
Bexar county officers were convinced
Tuesday.
Photographs furnished by The Light
proved that Towards blood-spattered
ear reached San Antonio last Tues
day midnight, driven by a man claim
ing to be Howard, but who the pic
lures show fs an imposter.
That Howard was waylaid along
the route to San Diego, probably
killed and his money, car, baggage and
private papers taken, is the belief of
officers.
ALL TRACE LOST.
Howard left his home in Salt Lake
City December Z, driving sedan, en-
route TO Florida, by way of San Diego.
He had with him a passenger named
William Becker of Pinedale, Wyo.
One telegram was received by his
father the next day, and then all trace
of Howard was lost.
Fearing he might have been the vie
tim of bandits, his father began a
nationwide search for him, but no
word came from his boy for more than
three weeks.
Then the trail of the missing man
jumped across country to San An.

-ROTZKY says that woman's lot,
in Russia, is happier than any
where else on earth. That self
approving note will be questioned,
since, no matter what laws may say,
a woman's lot depends on the sort of
husband she draws in the marriage
lottery.
Beyond question, however, women
in Russia, as elsewhere, are better
off than they were. Read in Wall
sowski's excellent histories Of Ivan
the Terrible and Peter the Great,
the chapters on woman and marriage,
and you learn that there was room
for improvement.
