Matters Line Up for Merry Theater War In This City Manager Weis Returns From New York and Seems Unworried By Outlook—Klaw and Erlanger Close for Beethoven Hall. With the return home yesterday of Sidney H. Weis, manager of the Grand Opera house, and the announcement last Bight that Klaw & Erlanger had closed b contract for the use of Beethoven hall during the coming season, matters shaped up finally for what promises to be the merriest theatrical war ever waged in San Antonio. Manager Weis, however, denies there will be any war, at least on his side. He says the Grand will run as usual, with ns many shows and really better ones Iron Brew— els one of the purest and most healthful drinks in the world.

He emphasized the । fact that the Theater Owners’ associa tion was not making a war on Klaw & j Erlanger, but merely had established ■ forever the “open door” policy, which ; means that the attractions cf every pro- I duber will be welcome. Mr. Weis seems not be worried by the I announcement that Klaw & Erlanger will | put in a theater here. He believes the I firm has too good a business sense to I w-age such a war, when there would be | so little to gain. Their attractions are SUITS THAT ARE SAFE TO SAVE ON SLOP Coat Suits at SL9B You must get one —the material in the eoat or skirt is worth more than the price. Women’s suits, made of good linene in plain tailored styles. Coats are 30 and 40-inch, with cuffs, pockets and notched collars. The skirts are plain plaited. They sold at $7, but the 4 ZX Q price tomorrow is marked down I for quick sale to JL • / welcome in all the theaters over the country, and a war couljl bring them nothing but revenge. This revenge would be costly, very costly indeed, and the firm’s reputation for sagacity would argue against them going into such a big deal for revenge alone. On the other hand, the Klaw & Er langer forces have refused to book their shows over the regular circuits and it is known positively that they have closed contracts for houses not only in San An tonio but in many other cities in the country. The firm, however, has not as yet announced its uoliey in the offi cial organ, the New York Morning Tele graph. and it would appear from the general air of secrecy surrounding their movements that there is something big up their sleeves. It is even rumored on excellent grounds, that agents for the firm are busy all over the country buying up sites in desirable localities for new the aters and by the time the 1911-12 season rolls around the syndicate will again be in control of a chain of theaters that will cover the United States. Judging by what can be learned, the plans this season seem to be merely the establishment of a circuit from New York to San Francisco, through the south and back again through the north west. In fact, while their list of at tractions seem to be a large one, in real ity tere are not enough to hold down the theaters in the big cities and book much of a circuit outside. At any rate, matters theatrical from a local standpoint are in an extremely healthy condition. Even if Klaw & Er langer do not come in, which it seems certain they will, Manager Weis has booked a list of attractions which prom iscs to be far ahead of any ever shown at the Grand. “I am perfectly satisfied with the situation,” said Mr. Weis. “I have, 1 think, the greatest line of attractions that has been shown at the'Grand dur ing any season in its history. Even if a firm did come in here with the best stars in its forces they would be main ly those who have been seen here, while the big shows to be seen at the Grand are mostly new ones. “The report that we are waging a war on Klaw & Erlanger is a mistake — we are simply breaking away from the old regime, which forced us to book ev ery show that went into our houses through Klaw & Erlanger. Now any show can come in our houses, even the so-called trust shows. “I will add, however, that if the Klaw & Erlanger forces were to apply now they would find few dates open.” In the meantime a representative of Klaw & Erlanger is expected in San An tonio tomorrow, and it is stated that the contract for the use of Beethoven hall by that firm has been definitely closed. Anyway, things are shaping up for one lively theatrical season in San An — — Unfamiliar Language. “Oh, you kiddo!” exclaimed the lit tle Boston boy. “Is that some Hungarian you have picked up.

Washington, Aug. 31.—Another effort to revive investigation of the Fidelity National bank failure in Cincinnati twenty-three years ago, is about to be made by Chicago men, headed by A. W. Green, a broker. The comptroller of the currency wound up the bank’s af fairs about two years ago when the last dividend was allowed. The Fidelity failure, the most gigan tie of its time, was related to a specu lation in Chicago wheat in which the bank was ruined and its viee president, E. L. Harper, was sentenced to ten years in a penitentiary. The Chicago brokerage house of Irwn, Green & Co., of which A. W. Green w’as then a mem ber, had been handling Harper’s trades.

Associated Press. Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 31.—“ D evelopment of the Honorarium.” was t’ne subject of an interesting address at this morning's session of the American Bar association by Col. W. A. Hender son of Washington, chief counsel for the Southern railway. The paper was ’ what the colonel designated as a “dis- ’ sertation on the work and wages of a lawyer ’ ’ and in whiclt he discussed in , a learned and cultured manner the sub- i ject in all its phases. The discussion of 1 this paper was followed by the reading , of reports of the committee on griev ances and taxation and a report from the comparative law bureau. The sec tion of legal education of which Wm. ! Hart of Louisiana, is chairman, also met today and opened with Judge Hart’s annual address, followed by a report of the committee on standard rules for ad mission to the bar, read by Lucien Alex ander of Pennsylvania.

Thomas, who has been promoted tWfr Onager at San Antonio of the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephon e company, to special agent of Arkansas and Texas. Telephone Company Promotes San Antonie Manager Who Began Looking Out for Himself as a Child. M. F. Thomas, who has been manager and division superintendent of the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone company in San Antonio for years, has been notified of his promotion to the position of special agent of Arkansas and Texas, with headquarters at Dal las, effective September 1. Owing to his extensive and valuable experience gained by having been in the service of the company, the higher officials feel he can be of more assistance to the com pany as special agent. Mr. Thoms s is probably one of the > no -•denhone men in Arkansas and Texas. He is a self-made man, hav ing been left an orphan when four years old. He commenced public life at twelve as messenger at a telegraph office. Quickly picking up telegraphy, he soon found employment with railroad com panies, holding various positions with credit. He entered the telephone field about February, 1879, having assisted in building the first exchange at Lit tle Hock, Ark., of what is now the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone company. He has been connected with this company ever since, having served over thirty years. Mr. Thomas feels proud to eall San Antonio his home, having spent more than seventeen years as a citizen of this place, and w-hile he does not claim all the credit, he can say that the first property purchased by the company, the first building erected and the first un derground system of wires placed by the company was at San Antonio, and he has lived to see the growth of the /im, Energy And A Keen Exhilaration RESULT FROM A BATH WITH HAND | SAPOLIO I In hot weather it revives your energies and stimulates l he skin to healthy action.
