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

WEDDED AND WIDOWED WITHIN
SHORT SPACE OF TWO HOURS
Special Dispatch. .
< ity of Mexico, June 27. —Wedde*'
and widowed within two hours was the
fate Saturday of two young women at
Valladolid. 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

getting Ihe big gathering, which will
lie international in character Tor the
reason that not only the United State”,

here nn that casino. Speaking of
the chances for San Antonio P. C.
Wnods. grand knight of the council,
said:
“This city has a mhsl excellent
show to land the national council and
it is only a question of sending a
strong delegation barked up by invit.i
lions from the city, county. Chamber
of Commerce and Governor Campbell.
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. Committees will also b“ appoint
ed to tai;e the matter up with Mayor
Callaghan. Judge Phil Shook, the Chain
ber of Commerce and Governor Camp
bell. 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

well worth going after ami we expect

Much Speculation on Lafitte
Street Regarding Man Who
Mystified the Police.
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. Officer Brown went
to the house indicated and his rap on
the door was answered by a man who
had light trousers on and his suspend
