SEEK RAILROAD
FROM CARR|ZO
To ASSERTION

CRYSTAL CITY, Tex, Jan. 23.-
The Winter Garden Chamber of Com
merce met at Crystal City this week
and members were the guests of the
local chamber Of commerce for a one
o'clock luncheon at the Cross s Hotel.
F. W. Pulliam, president of the Crys-
tai City chamber, presided in the abb
sence of President Hollis OF Eagle
Pass, VIII owas unable to attend on
account of illness. For a like reason
Secretary Fl. G. Walker, also of the
local chamber, was chosen to act as
secretary, for the District Chamber,
in the meeting.
After luncheon the assembly con-
vened at the city office for long bust
ness session where many things of in
terest to the various towns in the
Winter Garden district were discuss
ed.
An important resolution was passed
and signed by the delegates asking
the NJ. p. railroad to connect with the
Asherton and Gulf Railroad at Ash
erton, thereby filling the gap between
the two towns Of Asherton and Car
RIO Springs.
A general discussion was held con-
corning the building Of highway No.
80, which was recently designated
through some of the principal towns Of
the Winter Garden district. All
chamber Of commences were requested
TO furnish the names of their road
committees to E. G. Henners Of Ash
erton, who will call general highway
meeting soon.
A resolution was introduced asking
the farmers of the district to attend
the onion growers meeting in Laredo
on January %. in order that they may
be made acquainted with the Asherton
plan of conserving the shipments Of
onions, so that the onion crop of the
district will not be thrown on the
market at one time, causing the price
to fall.
There was a considerable discussion
of the permanent exhibit that is being
contemplated by the district, and the
president was instructed to get in
formation concerning the best kind
Of jars and preservatives suited to
this class of exhibit.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Stocks
closed generally higher today under
the Influence of strength in steel COM

WHEAT CLOSES
WITH SLIGHT
LOSSES
By CHARLES ]. LEYDEN
Universal Service Staff Correspondent.

Universal service starr Correspondents.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Wheat moved
over an erratic course today and closed
with moderate losses. Steadiness in
foreign markets attracted considerable
short covering and some fresh support,
but the flurries were not followed and
the market failed to hold best levels.
May wheat sold up to S1.72 Is early,
dropped to $1.697-S, rallied to
Sill IL and dipped to $1.7O5-S@
1.1O 3-4 at the bell. Trade was largely
local, although eastern shorts were
credited with buying in fair amounts.
Other grains except rye finished lower.
At the low wheat prices were off
about 16 cents from the crop high Of
few weeks back. The loss in that
time was chiefly the result of the fail
ure of Europe to come into the mar
ket for expected amounts. Meanwhile
southern hemisphere crops have begun
to press for sale. Some of the local
longs were said to have unloaded dur
ing the day.
The seaboard reported slow export
business but intimated that foreign
ers were beginning to ask for offers.
And this was good sign. Liverpool
closed is pence lower to IL pence
higher.
Locally wheat finished 1-2 to "a
cents lower, corn Is to IA cents lower,
oats unchanged to lac down, and rye
SIS TO "a cents higher.
Corn averaged firm in the early
trading, and then sagged along with
the leading cereal to lower levels at
the last. Several of the prominent
commission houses had resting orders
TO buy during the first hour, but the
advance was stopped by scattered real
iZing. The movement of corn from the
country was of moderate proportions,
and less than last year. Shipping de-
mand appreciably active for week end
trade. Primary receipts totaled 1000
bushels compared with 1,610, 900 bush
els last year.
Oats finished fractionally lower.
Primary receipts were $4,000 bushels
against 1000 bushels last gear.
Rye was higher.
Selling of lard by a prominent ware
house offset the investment demand
through commission houses and prices
closed in lower ground. There were
100000 pounds Of lard delivered on
contract yesterday, this being offset
in a measure by the clearances Of
100000 pounds for the day.

MORE DURABLE
HOME IN 1925
De NJ AN D

Better homes for 1926 is the predic-
ton of the Busby Building Corpora
ton offices at Fredericksburg road
and West Summit avenue. A greater
demand for more substantial construc-
ton Is made by San Antonio home
buyers, L. s. Busby states. This cor
poration has gotten off to a flying
start in its production of fine homes
for the year and the following are
nearing completion:
A brick veneer at 1705 West Sum-
nit; a stucco at 1905 West Summit I;
frame bungalow at 1926 West Null
berry and another frame bungalow at
1874 West Mulberry. Foundation
work has been completed for a COM
bination clinker brick and stone resi-
dence at 1710 West Summit, and ex-
cavation work has begun on a stucco
residence at 1410 West HuiSache. and
another at 100 West Summit. Plans
have been completed for q very dis
tictive stucco home at 1916 West Mag
nolia.
These homes are all in and adjoin-
ing Woodlawn Place and two Of them
have been sold, although not yet com
pleted.
All Of these homes, in line with the
strict policy of this corporation, are
on reinforced concrete foundations and
the interiors of practically all of them
are finished with the new rough tex
ture finish-on sheetrock throughout.
Mr.. Busby states that several of
these homes will be completely fur
nished and opened to the public about
February 8. He also states that the
outlook for the year is exceptionally
good, and that the people of San An
tonic are coming more and more to
demand the best construction for their
homes, especially in regard to a more
durable and permanent foundation. 1t
is his opinion that San Antonio in
1926 will witness the building of bet
ter homes than have ever been built
in previous years. He attributes this
demand on the part Of the home own
ing public directly to the publicity
given the subject by the local news
papers and the various programs put
on by the real estate board and. other
civic bodies.

UNEASY JIM

!, The news from Washington Is such as to sug
gest that there should be more than casual glance
at the returns from the last election.
For there is every indication that Senator wat
son is not as easy in his mind concerning his election
as he has been in other days when his victories were
followedby boisterous blasts of blatant "blaah"
This time the Senator is combining himself to
efdeavors to placate some fellow-members whom he
helped to drive out of the patronage ranks OF the
Republican party two years ago.
! At that time Watson, in the Senate and in the
committee was most unforgiving Of those whom he
denounced as heretics He was always and forever
for any action which would humiliate those who did
not believe that the late La Toilette wore horns.
He helped to- drive them away from the party and
declared for "Sapolio' test Of party purity
) It is different and perhaps that official mar
gT of 1000 votes which certified is the reason.
Ssme drop from the 100000 lead for Coolidge.
1t does suggest that the Senator would like to
be on more friendly terms with Senators who would
vote on his case should inquiry be started into
the use Of absentee ballots, Lake County manipua-
tions other acts which unfriendly Senator might
believe were causes for a successful contest
= So the Senator wends his uneasy way at Wash
ington tossing offers of friendship to he humil-
lated more intent on placing them than in any
legislation.
Being Senator, of the WATSON kind has its
renalties.

CONCERNING CHARITY
BY n. ID. Cochran

- A Methodist preacher in New York City made
statement last Sunday that make lot of people
sit up and take notice Rev Dr. Christian F. Reisner
pastor of the Chelsea Methodist Church, said in his
1--WE are almost institutionazed to death. We
are requested to raise 900 to house only the
offices and employees of 1900 charity and welfare
organizations in this city. There 200 more
CARNATIONS than there Protestant and Catholic
churches in the city This is nearly many
CARNATIONS there churches"
New York City enjoys monopoly in this par
ticular. Every city in the country is familiar with
what is generally termed organized charity" which
has been organized to the highest form Of industrial
efficiency; and practically every of these organi
cations established headquarters and jobs for
socaled charity workers
Many of them organized around worthy
causes, to be but organization has resulted in
army Of workers and assistants who make their
living of the contributions of big-hearted
trbutors. The many drives for funds became such
ntolerable that in selfdefense business
forced to organize socalled Community Chests,
through which contributions were dumped into one
general Jackpot and distributed by board of trus-
tees directors
This enabled business men to turn down all in
dividual applications of charity beggars by telling
them to apply the Community Chest, to which they
contributors. And it has its advantages. One
doesn't have to come in personal contact with human
misery, poverty and suffering. BY hiring profess
sonal charity workers to do his charity for him he
can save the and tear his own heart-strings
and not be agtated by the human emotion Of
sympathy.
John Boyle O'Reiy looked at II. He didn't like or
ganized charity He didn't like to Of the
noblest of human emotions reduced to a scientific
business basis. At any rate, in his "In Bohemia" he
wrote:
"Organized charity, skimped and iced,
In the of cautious, statistical Christ
Nevertheless it lot of time and worry if
busy hire professional sympathizers to do
their synpathizng for them One may do his duty
a practical Christian, sending agent to the box
office to buy his reserved seat in Heaven and thus
escape the annoyance of doing any of the work
of being his brothers keeper.
When man informed that 1t more blessed
to give than to receive and that the Lord loveth a
cheerful giver, no hard and fast rule announced
which required him to go out into the highways and
byways and search out the poor and suffering. And
it is much easier to write check a year and
give his conscience another twelve months vacation
All the it would be interesting If the next
Federal census would give report the army of
professional charity workers and how much it costs
to get dollar of charity to its destination got
line it when investigated organized charity
in one of biggest cities. For every twenty-five
cents that reached the deserving pobrs the
seventy-ve cents for administration rent salaries
investigation and incidental expenses
Maybe that's why it's easier for camel to go
througho the eye of q needle, etc.

Forging Fingerprints

A vital point has been developed
in the Hall-Mills case, and that Is
whether fingerprints can be forged.
If they can, we have lost a
method Of identification that had
come to be regarded as practically
infallible.
Many people suppose that finger
printing is of recent origin, and 1t is
so far as police records go, but it
has been known and employed in
the Orient for thousands of years.
More than one great sovereign OF
the East has left impressions OF his
fingers for future generations TO
gaze upon with curiosity.
1t was 1913 years ago that a Ger
man professor, who had studied
Oriental history, advanced the idea
of using finger prints to identify
criminals, but nothing was done
about it until half a century later.
Mark Twain was one of the first
to recognize the value of finger
prints, as is proved by his story,
'Pudd'nhead, Wilson," which ap-
peared in 1894.
1t was about that time that po-
lice authorities throughout the
world adopted the method and be-
gan to establish those great files
which have played such a part In
catching old offenders.
It has been generally believed that
no two flngerprints were alike, and
that forgery was out of the ques-
ton.
