WEDNESDAY, BAER AND CHARLEMAGNE TOWER HAVE PRAISE FOR TEXAS AND CITY Party En Route to Mexico City Stop Off Long Enough to See Improvements Here —Both Are Noted Men, Mr. Tower Having Astonished All Europe While Ambassador. Eastern capitalists are uo longer ’ afraid to invest their money in Texas, , and any concern properly organized may secure finu.ictal backing from the moneyed men of New York and Phils-1 dolphin, according to George F. Baer, president of the Philadelphia X Reading railroad, who spent last evening in San Antonio on route to Mexico City. Ac companying Mr. Baer and occupying his • private ear with him were Herbert L. Smith, hin son in-law, and wife; Mr. and Mra. Charlemagne Tower, and K. ' T. Statesbury. head of Drexel & Com pany of Philadelphia. Mra. Baer was also of the party.' Mr. Baer declardd that people were no longer afraid of Texas and her laws and that capitalists were daily looking more and more to the southwestern part ' of the United States for investments. Money, he said, commanded a higher rate of interest here than there anti :t j was but natural for the capita) to flow in this direction. There have been times during recent years, he said, when mars tki is 1 TRIUMPHANT HIE Enthusiastic Receptions Given Party at Every Port of Call on Voyage Down the Nile. Gondokoro.

Balloon ascensions during the morning. Charlemagne Tower men with money looked askance <tt Texas and her opportunities, but these times had passed and there was full confidence in the state. The gentlemen of the party express atory of the evidences of growth of San Antonio. The Philadelphians were much con cerned with the street ear strike and the fact that over 100,000 men had been called on to join the strike in sympathy. Mr. Baer did not believe the railroad operalives would be drawn into the con troversy, as their orgnnizations were distinct from other labor unions. Th” trip to Mexico at this time, he said, was simply to rest and recuperate. Just how long they would remain there he could not tell. Charlemagne Tower was United States ambassador to Germany and be came famous throughout Europe for his lavish entertaining. Berlin had never witnessed anything to surpass the en tertaining of the millionaire representa tive of the United States government.
