Threatens to Close City Hall
 Offices and Hang Out
 ''1o Rent" Sign
HOLDS MONDAY RALLY
 FOR CORBIN WORKERS
Finds Fault With Bartletts Satc- ment Taxes Cannot be Reduced and Reiterates Opinion Opponent Has Not Had Sufficient Experl- ence to be Mayor - New Candi- dates for Common Council.

If I am nominated for the office of mayor and elected, l will reduce taxes if I have to close up offices in city hall and put the to let sign on the doors,' George A. Quigley, can didate for the republican nomina- ton, promised workers in the P. & F. Corbin and the Corbin Cabinet Lock Co.,, plants at a monday rally today.
 Quigley stood on the running board of his automobile and opened his talk by saying, T need noa in- troducton to the workers in the Corbin factories" His was the only speech of the rally.
 The candidate declared he had entered the primary contest some what reluctantly, and only after he had been convinced that the public lis sick and tired of experimenting after 10 years of it." He recited figures to show an increase in the municipal debt of about s4,000,000 and a five mills raise in the tax rate since he left office.
 Criticizes Bartlett on Taxes
 Taking to task his rival for the nomination. Donald Bartlett, Quig- ley shouted: MT. Bartlett does not think taxes can be reduced at once, It is not question of what he thinks or what I think, taxes must be reduced. A man who purchased a piece of property within the past 10 years and who is struggling tl keep it with high taxes, high inter- est payments, loan sharks houndina him and with short hours in the factories, has to be helped"
 Characterizing MT. Bartlett as one of the finest men who has ever run for office, and promising tc work shoulder to shoulder for his election if he is the nominee, Quiz. ley asked: But can man witf such limited experience as he ha; had, serve you as we'll as I can? was born in this city. l represented this ward in the common council as a councilman and as an alderman
 
 with it's needs. I do not need to de. tail to you my light for lower water rates and for lower rates for cleo. tricity, because that is a matter o1 record. I have fought a hundred battles for one and I defy any man within the hearing of my voice tc give one instance where I have fought a battle against you. My in. terests are yours and your interests are mine. We have common inter. ests."
 Calls Sewer Beds Farce

MAYOR TAKES STEP
 TOPUSH CITY WORK
Aid for JobleSs Expected to Fol-
 low Conferences
PLAN RESUMPTION MONDAY
Paoncssa Finds Funds in Street, Sewer and Water Departments Will Permit Increases in Working Forces Next Week.

A series of conferences arranged by Mayor Paonessa with heads of the street, sewer and water depart ments is expected to result in a re- sumption of public works to provide work for the unemployed. Monday morning.
 Tine program designed to furnish aid to the jobless was inaugurated by the mayor several months ago, but has waned in recent weeks, partly because Of a sharp depletion of funds and partly because definite programs had not been mapped out to completion.
 By the expenditure of several thousands of dollars, new subways have been constructed and others enlarged, a considerable portion of Stanley Quarter park has been cleared, sewers have been built and streets repaired. The mayor has given study to the financial condi- tion of the funds from which the bills for this work have been paid, and he is convinced that sufficient amounts remains for further activ- ity along these lines.
 Conferences were held with Street Superintendent Joseph NJ. OBrien, Foreman George Eyeline of the sewer department, Engineer Joseph H. Holden of the water department and Chairman George R. Dobson of tho board of public works. All of these officials have promised their cooperation in the shape of pro grams to take care of increased forces.

25, 1904, a gain Of 1924 or l52 per cent in a decade,
while outlying suburbs have 4343 inhabitants. making
the total unofficial count 29.547. It is admitted that
oil development, remaking much of West Texas within
less than seven years. has been the greatst single
factor in the steady, substantial growth Of San An
gelo, although expansion Of other industries and ag-
r~icultural and livestock prosperity have contributed
largely in the increase. A gain of 152 per cent in 10
years is an amazing gain and the people Of San An

MR.. COOLIDGE AVEkTS "A TRYING ORDEAL
Copyright, 1880. by The Associated NewspapersO
Ex-President Calvin Coolidge wanted no news reel
photographers around the premises when he and Mrs.
Coolidge moved from Massassoit street to their new
home, THE Beeches."
A Boston film man who thought II q bright idea 10
snap pictures showing how q former President OF the
United States looks with a rubber plant under one
arm and a floor lamp under the other wrote Calvin
asking permission TO drop around moving day, but Cal
turned thumbs down. He had no desire to be shown
to American audiences arguing with q moving van
man who has Just put his foot through the oil-paint-
ing Of an honored ancestor.
Mr.. Coolidge again proves he Is q smart man. Had
he given the moving picture men an inch they would
have taken the estate.
They would have been UP the day before to snap
Calvin taking down family portraits and to ask Mrs.
Coolidge to pose wrapping q set OF IA dishes In old
newspapers. They would have wanted the ex-Presi-
dent to unscrew the mirror from the chiffonier for an
eager public and would have demanded that Mrs.
on whether the Harvard classics can best be packed
IN one barrel or three soap boxes.
Calvin would have been pictured shaking hands with
a piano-mover who had just knocked over q $500
vase, and Of course Mrs. Coolidge would have had to
stand for q talkie on the front porch declaring two
clumsy truckmen the backbone Of the nation while
they dropped a French mirror down two flights Of
Stairs.
Cal would then have been requested to walk from
the old home to the new balancing a jar Of goldfish on
his head. carrying a mattress on his left shoulder and
toting a load Of family albums, law books. umbrellas
and neckties under each arm without spilling any
thing or calling for assistance.
Once at "The BeecheS" he would have been ex-
pected to tote q thirty-foot rug up q winding stair
case without sideswiping any bric-a-brac. reassemble
a couple OF beds, rebuke a truckman for breaking
six soup dishes. get a ~five-foot sofa through a four
foot door, locate the missing bureau casters and help
Mrs. Coolidge remember into which washing-powder
box she had placed the tin dipper.
There Is no limit to what a moving picture man
can ask. He might even have demanded that the ex-
President pose for the talkies sitting in a nice soft
armchair directing Mrs. Coolidge on how to unrol the
rugs!

Former Gov. John L. Bates Of Massachusetts has

the ground OF gross misconduct. In the not remote
past, Bates was a popular leader Of the republican
party and visited Texas after his retirement from the

Cause OF disgrace and disbarment: Bates had failed
to use funds OF clients for the purposes intended by
them. Misuse OF money appears to be the root OF
