Both phones MONDAY, REPUBLICANS 70 PUT S STRAIGHT TICKET 111 FIELD No Fusion or Merging With Citizens' or Any Other League Is Sense of the Leaders. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Meeting Is Enlivened By Slap at Cecil Lyon and Reference to the Indian Contract. WHAT REPUBLICANS DID. Passed a resolution placing the executive committee on record as saying that it was opposed to any affiliation with any other party. Voted that a straight republican ticket should be put in the field and that no fusion or merging should be done with the Citizens’ league. Decided that “fence-straddlers” must flop to one party and that the secretary shall ascertain who is and who is not a member of the committee. Took a small side-swipe at Cecil Lyon, characterizing him as “be ing busy at Washington on his share of the Indian contracts.” , “Resolved, if it be deemed inexpedi . ent to place a full county republican ticket in the field, this committee is I opposed to any effort seeking to bind republicans to the support of any ticket regardless ot what name it may mas j querade under.” This resolution, presented by Mose Harris, was passed this morning by a majority ef one vote by the republi lean county executive committee after i a brief but energetic scrap of words ‘ between Major Harris anil Capt. .1. E. Elgin. Captain Elgin arose to say that he would vote against such a resolution, not because he was opposed to it, but because he believed it a usurpation ot i ihe prerogatives of the county conven tion. The executive committee had no right, he said, to attempt to bind the ; countv convention, but Major Harris re torted that the resolution was merely to acquaint the convention with the i sentiment of the committee and not an effort to force the convention to adopt 1 any attitude. Fence Riders Must Flop. Mr. Harris sprung his resolution after “feme-riders” had been discussed. Captain Elgin, who presided in the ab settee of .L M. Oppenheimer, stated there were several names ot men which appeared both on the democratic exec utive committee and on the republican executive committee. He wanted the secretary instructed to confer with the secretary of the democratic committee and send individual letters to these asking them which side ot the fence thev wanted to flop on. *• We don’t want any straddlers.” I said a member. “If they want to be ! republicans, we'll welcome them, but ANOUNCEMENTS FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Yucatan, who married their husbands while the latter were prepar ing to face a firing squad which had been detailed to execute them for sedi tion and murder, the charges growing out of the recent uprising. When the two condemned men found there was no hope of executive clemen-j wo won't stand for n man cutting ice on our committee and shaving ice on -the democratic eoininittee.'’ The secretary was so instructed and the “ fence riders will have to jump I down. ' Captain Elgin, chairman of the com mittee on changes in the Terrell elec tion law. reported that he had seen all the candidates for the legislature and they were in favor of them. He had n<u heard, however, from Julius Real, and time was asked and granted. Similarly, the campaign committee, which consists of Messrs. Elgin. Smith. Kingsley. Edgecomb. Cadwallader. Op penheimer and Hicks, asked for more time, reporting progress in the mean while. Harris Starts It. Mose Harris first sought to ascertain the sentiment of the piembers of the committee by raising the question of affiliation with some other party or Some other ticket. He said that for himself he did not believe the republi cans ought to linkup with any ticket, or with any “broken down lot of poli ticians.” Th y ought to-present a bold front, lie said, putting out a straight ticket, and putting it out now—not after the democratic primaries. It the republicans were going to trade and traffic, he said, it would weaken them. Captain Elgin stated that the execu tive committee had no right to trade and traffic; that the eounty convention could do as it pleased. “Do you," questioned Mr. Harris, “believe that the republican party ought to affiliate, tie up. juggle bal lots with any civic improvement league, citizens' league, commission govern ment league, or anything else?” One member spoke up that he favored it “if they would come in as good re publicans.' ’ Captain Elgin said the question of a name for the ticket eoul| be decided later. General discussion ensued, the state ment being made that the election of Real depended on having some kind of a ticket to back him up. The only way to get that ticket is to organize, go ahead and at least get a nucleus. Slap at Cecil Lyon. “What arc we going to do." queried a member, “when the chief mogul of the party doesn't want us to organ ize ? ” “Oh. lie's ‘oo busy/now at Washing ton locking after his share of the In dian contract money," said another. This raised a laugh. W. J. Edgecomb said that the repub licans ought to have backbone, ought to get out and name a ticket and fight for it. “If we haven't got enough back bone." he said, “we ought to join the democratic party.” A standing vote was then taken on the question of whether or not a straight republican ticket should be placed in the field. Every member arose. “The trouble about us,” said Cap tain Elgin, “is that we have no men who are willing to allow their names to go as office seekers.” “Some different from the demo crats." commented one. Mr. Harris here proposed that a sub committee to get candidates should be named. This committee comprises W. H. Smith. W. J. Edgecomb. A. H. Cad wallader. Mose Harris and ( apt. J. E. Elgin. Mr. Harris then introduced his reso lution that the committee was opposed to any affiliation with any other party, the resolution having been scribbled on the back of a folded document in a min ute or two after he had sounded the meet ing. Then ensued the word battle which at tones became uproarious. Captain El gin maintained that the committee had • o right to attempt to bind subsequent action bv the county convention. Mr. Harris contended that such attempt was being made; that all he intended by the resolution was that the members pres ent. and the executive committee as a whole, did not want any tie-ups with any other political party. When the vote was put it stood <5 to 5 for passage and Captain Elgin had to reluetantlv admit that he was defeated. Those present were J. D. DeMoss, M. Dreyfus. Van Teal. M. 11. Smith, J. M. Smith. J. S. Neuss. J. Bietzke, A. F. North. J. E. Elgin. A. H. Cadwallader and W. J Edgeeomb.

The matter will be taken up at the regular meeting tomorrow night and delegate’* will be appointed to attend the next national council, which meets this year at Quebec. Canada, in Au gust.

It is expected the Chamber of ,Commerce will name a delegate to at tend the national council convention in person and lobby for the big meeting. The representation that would conn* here on that occasion would be the wealth and the flower of that ('atholic order and would mean one of the lar igest possible advertising cards for San Antonio and a convention next in iin portance to that of the Trans-Mississ ippi Commercial congres sthat convenes in San Antonin next November.

Was Dip object of a white prowler on the premises of 244 Lafitte street Sun day morning at 3:15 o’clock robbery or otherwise? At that hour Simday morn ing the wife of G. G. Gossler was awak ened by the barking of a neighbor’s dog and on going to the door and look ing over in the next yard saw a man in a crouching position near the fence. Mrs. Gossler called her husband to comp to the door and Mr. Gesslpr, with out taking time to dress, appeared and asked the man what he was doing there. The intruder at once ran through the gate and went west on Lafitte street for a block, alter which he turned into La Salle street and took refuge behind a telephone pole. Mr. Gessler called on a neighbor nam ed Linertz and told him to bring his gun. The latter complied, and jumping through his front window placed rhe weapon in the hands of Mr. Gessler. who then walked out on the street and commanded the man to surrender. In stead of complying with the demand, the prowler broke and ran back in the direction he came from, and Mr. Gess« |pr tired in the air in order to stop him. There was no stop to the fugitive, how ever, in spite of another shot being tired and the man ran into a house opposite that of Mr. Gessler and disappeared from view. In a few minutes after the shots were fired. Mounted Officers Brown. Carde nas, Hetzel and Blaine were on the scene, and Mr. Gessler gavp the officers an accurate description of the man he ha<l been chasing.
