tion of San Antonio at a meeting last
night went on record as decrying the
practice and favoring a thorough in
vestigation.
In the resolution the giving of short
weights was condemned ’and the city
was asked to take prompt and decisive
action. During the last few weeks nu
merous complaints of short weight sell
ing have been made to the city inspec
tor of weights and measures and one
merchant has been convicted in the cor
poration court.
The resolution in full follows:
“In consideration of the fact that ,
there has boon some agitation in con- ,
section with the selling of short
weights and measures in San Antonio,
it is resolved that this meeting of the |
Retail Merchants association go on rcc
ord as being in favor of a thorough
investigation of the situation in this
city, and that wc thoroughly condemn
the giving of short weights and mens
ores or the handling of short weight
packages. It is further resolved that 1
Mayor Callaghan bo requested to no- ;
tify the city inspector of weights and
measures to visit each place of business |
in the city and test all scales and
measures there in use and that a com-I
mittee be appointed at once for that 1
purpose. And further that the city ia-1
specter be instructed to report back to’
the city clerk.”
“We want this matter thoroughly in

of th-' Retail Merchants association to
day. “We want the people to get ill I

ciat on will b» the very first to con

ABDUL HAMID'S HOME
“Whole Place Looked Mean,” Writes
a Correspondent of London Paper.
London, Oct. It. —The splendors of
Abdul Hamid's home at the Yildix pal
ace in Constantinople seem to have
been greatly exaggerated, according to
the account sent to the trade journal,
the Cabinet Maker, by a correspondent.'
He writes:
“The whole place looked mean. The
passages arc small. Cupboards seem to
be a mania. With a very few exceptions
the private apartments contain nothing
of value. The general idea of the fur
niture was that it was not only poor,
but in exceedingly bad taste.
“The sultan’s bathroom is quite a
small apartment. Some of the cabinets
look as thohgh they had come from a
barber's shop. His study was one mass
of desks and cupboards.
“The windows are not properly
painted. One of the carpets had a large
hole in it. His quarters were not only
small and mean, but so stuffy and hot
that wc were glad to get out.
“Adjoining his bathroom is another
small room in which he worked as a
carpenter. Inlay of various colored
woods, also pearl, and some five or six
panels in his study are said to be his
work. They look like it. The drawing
is bad, and the mixture of colored woods
quite vulgar. The workmanship, how
ever, is neat and accurate.”
The ex-sultan’s “shirt room” is de
scribed as lined with “shelves all
round, covered with phish. He has a few
hundred plush boxes of shirts and vests
of all kinds. Some 2000 waistcoats show
his mania for new things which he
never wore. Perhaps the most interest
ing articles are the bullet-proof waist
coats. He had three of them.”

Remarkable photograph of Wilbur Wright Hovering over British Warship Argyll, in Hudson river.
By W. G. Shepherd.
New 15.—For the first time
in history an aeroplane passed over a
warship when Wilbur Wright recently
sailed nine and one-half miles up the
Hudson river and back again.
Below, as he sped, lay dozens of
great fighting ships of seven navies,
their monster guns helpless when he
was above them.
Onto any one of these vessels he
might have dropped enough dynamite
to sunder them, according to his state
ment.
“I could easily drop a bomb on a
warship,” he told me.
But could he! The navy men who
saw him fly say “No;”
Commander Rogers Wells of the Unit
ed States battleship New Hampshire,
over whose ship Wright passed square
ly, while the officers and men of parts
of seven navies looked on, smiled pleas
antly as the aeroplane flew toward him,
up the river.
Long before the machine could be
plainly seen the roar of its motor was
easily heard. As it s:iddenly loomed
but of the mist it traveled at such a
great speed that, while one moment it
looked like a mere gull, the next it
half assumed the outlines of an aero
plane, much as the magician’s bud
bursts instantly into a full-blown flow

While it was in the distance there
were dozens of giant guns that might
have belched great missiles at the tiny
flyer, with its speck of a human being
in the seat. Alwgys fearful of con
flicting breezesj 'the worst fears of.
Wright might have been realized by the
rush of air of one of these great shells,
even if it would not have hit him. A
network of rushing cyclonic currents
of air might have been thus thrown
up into' space against him.
“The arms now in use on every war
ship,” said Commander Wells, “would
be sufficient, I think, to prevent an at
tack of aeroplanes. At the speed at
which Wright traveled it would have
been a remarkable feat for him to
drop a shell onto us, if he had reached
us. But he couldn’t have reached us,
I am sure, in time of war. Rapid fire
guns that send a rain of shells would
sooner of later find the mark, if the
big guns did not hit him.
“In addition to these guns we have
the small arms, from which we could
send hundreds of shots in a short time.
These might, perhaps, only riddle the
wings, but in time one of them would
find a vital spot in the aeroplane. There
is no limit to the angle of elevation of
small arms and the rapid fire guns can
be elevated more than 45 degrees from
the horizon.
“If any more defense against aero-
OCTOBER IB, IM*
planes were needed we could use mor
tars that would throw bombs straight
up into the air.
“But suppose, even, that an aero
plane did succeed in dropping 200
pounds of dynamite onto our decks,
he wouldn’t disable the ship.
“The explosioq would wipe away
the ginger bread work and kill all men
within a certain radius, but the decks
are so heavy that I am sure they would
only be bent. .
“A six-inch fired at 4000 yards,
would have greater penetration than
that of 200 pounds of dynamite dropped
a distance of 1000 feet.”
