CAN VOTE FOR CHARTER
(By Macmillan.)
nN the Light and Gazette on
Saturday and Sunday it was
pointed out that new resi
dents of San Antonio, who were
not in the state of Texas on Janu
ary i, 1910, may qualify to vote in
the elections of 1911 by going to
the county tax collector prior to
February 1 and asking for a certi
ficate of exemption from poll tax,
a paper which is issued by the col
lector without any cost to the ap
plicant.
With the paper the new residents of
this description are as fully qualified
to vote as they could be if they went
into the polling place with both poll
tax receipts, the one issued by the city
and the one issued by the county and
state. It is not necessary for the voter
who is exempt to obtain any certificate
of exemption from the city tax col
bcor.
But the important phrase in the
above is the one which says that th!
new resident must NOT have been in
the state of Texas on January 1, 1910.
Poll taxes are legally collectible from
“every male person between the ages
of 21 "and 60 who resided in the state
on the first day of January preceding
its levy,” excepting, of course, those
exempted by disability.
Important Provision.
However, a new resident of San An
tonio, who moves into th>s city after
January 1, 1911, from another county
in the state, may vote here in the elec
tions of 1911 without paying poll tax
in Bexar county, or the city of San
Antonio, providing he pays the poll tax
required in the county where he did re
side on that date. His poll tax receipt
from the other county, or his exemption
certificate, if he is entitled to exemp
tion, is good here, providing he com
plies with one requirement.
This one requirement that qualifies
such a new resident, is laid down m

VOLUME 31. No. 253
RAIN FALLS
AND MORE
IS COMING
For First Time Since May 20
Over Half an Inch Fell
This Morning.
CONDITION GOOD FOR MORE
Brings Vindication to Major
Buell and Joy to Every
body Else.
The first rain of over half an
inch since May 20 fell this morn
ing. For the first time in four
months and a half there was a gen
eral Rownpour in this section of the
country, where the drouth was be
ginning to be felt with some in
tensity. The rain today assures
forage for the fall and winter and
is the cause of general rejoicing
among all classes of business inter
ests. Not only that but the chanc
es for more rain are better than
they have been for a longtime,de
clared Major Allen Buell this morn
ing, and the prospects are that a
showery condition will prevail for
the next several days. With one
storm area coming right after an
other in rapid succession, the major
declares that forecasting tho
.weather has become very gratify
ing.
A great storm area now extends
from Mexico north to Manitoba, and
another storm area of even greater in
tensity is hanging over the British
Northwest, with a barometer down to
29.28. With both of these storm- areas
in ’full force and effect, the major is
I jubilant, not only over the rain which
fell this morning but over the prospect*
of a continuation of this rainy period
for several days. He declares that no
one should feel afraid that the raiu has
gone away, even if the sun does come
out'from time to time, for everything
is just right for a thoroughly good
soaking for this part of the country.
The rain set in this morning at 7:38;
according to the official time of the
weather bureau, and continued in a
steady downpour until about 11 o’clock,
■when" the sun peeped furtively through
the duneolored clouds to see just how
the population was taking the unaccus
tomed bath. The major sat smiling
at his work all morning and almost
chuckled every time the rain gauge
'clicked as it registered .01 of an inch,
until .85 of an ineh was registered.
Buell Is Vindicated.
Major Buell now declares that he is
vindicated and that bis reputation is
saved, because it all came to pass just
as he predicted, and Secretary Vance
of the'lnternational Fair association de
ciares Otat he knew it was going to ram
this morning when he got up, because
he had a powerful bad attack of lum :
bago, and he remarked to his he
knew it was going to rain. Anyway,
for a starter a splendid rain has falltm
pretty generally all over Texas, and
stockmen, farmers and business men
ialike are beginning to smile the smile
that won’t come off, while the real
estate men have already degenerated
into a broad grin.

Factions in Parmenter Case
Hold Opposide Sides of Louis
ville, Miss., and Militia Is Out.
DOUBLE GUARD AT JAIL
Story of Crime One of Most
Horrible in History of State.
Trouble IsJmminent.
Louisville, Miss., Oct. 3.—The
trial of Swinton Parmenter, the
son of a prominent planter near
here, charged with murdering his
18-year-oid sweetheart, Miss Janet
Sharp, was commenced here today
amid dramatic surroundings.
The trial, which will probably
be the most sensational of its kind
in the recent annals of criminal
court history in Mississippi, has
resulted in transforming this vil
lage into a camp of armed men.
Two rival factions, each armed
with' Winchester rifles, are en
camped on two sides of the town,
hile the courthouse and jail are
surrounded by a detachment of
militia, armed and instructed to
shoot to kill if violence breaks out.
The presiding judge of the criminal
court received a note signed “aveng
ers,” which declared that fifty young
white men of the county had taken s
solemn oath to take Parmenter from
the jail and lynch him. irrespective of
the finding of the court. This led to
the doubling of the guards about both
jail and courthouse today.
The sheriff, with a posse of depu
ties, all heavily armed, has been in
structed to guard the prisoner night
and day. Threats are made and re
newed alarms hourly, and the whole
community is in a state of intense ex
citement.
Janet Sharp was the belle of Rural
Hill, and had many suitors. Among these
was Parmenter, a dashing young chap,
and the son of prominent and well to do
parents. The girl was found murdered
and the autopsy- showed she had been
criminally assaulted. Indications point
ed to the guilt of Parmenter. The youth
was arrested and secretly taken to a
jail, the whereabouts of which was kept
hidden.
Two factions instantly formed, one
representing the Sharp clan and the
other the Parmenter family. Friends
and relatives of the sharp family threat
ened death to Swinton and the Parmen
ter clan threatened to wage open war
among the Sharps if Swinton was
harmed before the trial. Indications
promise a state of bloody warfare
through the county if either side makes
a move.
Call Special Venire.
Three hundred and fifty witnesses
have been summoned to testify among
them twelve girl friends of Swinton
Parmenter and Janet Sharp. A special
venire of 200 men reported to the court.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, MONDAY. OCTOBER 3,1910.
Valuable Gem Dropped From
Hand of Woman In Carriage
on Houston Street.
MANY JOIN IN THE SEARCH
Men and Boy^ Paw Around In
Mud and Water of Gutter
to Recover It.
A hunt for a lost diamond ring, said
to be valued at $5OO by its owner, a
woman, was participated in by a crowd
of about twenty-five men and boys on
Houston street opposite the Gunter ho
tel between 10:30 and 11 o’clock this
morning, and for a while Policeman
Fitzhenry, who is on that beat, feared
that the hunters would interfere with
street traffic.
The policeman was on the point of
dispersing the crowd when he was greet
ed by a shout, “Here’s the ring.” The
shout was made by Jack Furnish, aged
12 years, 208 Cibolo street, who had
found the ring at the bottom of a mud j
puddle in the gutter. The lad carried
the ring to its owner, who accompanied
by another woman and a little girl, had
been waiting in a buggy a
tance up the street from the scene of j
the hunt. The woman was grateful to I
young Furnish for recovering the ring,
and presented him with two silver dol
lers for his trouble.
The boy took the money. It was easy
money. “I don’t wish anybody any
bad luck, but I wouldn’t mind if anoth
er lady would lose a ring and I found
it,” said the boy as he went merrily
down the street jingling the two dol
lars in his pocket.
“The woman who owns that ring was
lucky,” remarked a bystander as he
gazed after the boy. “Suppose that
some dishonest person had found it”
T\ie owner of the ring refused to dis
close her name, saying: “I wouldn’t
for anything have the paper write this
up. The ring was recently given to me
and I don't want it known that I lost
it.” .....
The ring was lost in a peculiar way.
It dropped off the finger of its owner
while she was driving down Houston
street in a buggy and rolled out onto
the pavement. The woman seeing the
i ring rolling on the pavement, stopped
I the buggy and invoked the aid of per
sons nearby in a search for the gem. As
soon as report was passed that the jewel
was valued at $5OO a crowd of hunters
was quickly at work. ,
On the lamps of the buggy in winch
the owner of the ring rode was the
j name: “Dr. Lankford.”

SWALLOWS CHEW
81)1 OBTAINS A
CONVICTION
Assistant District Attorney Is
Made 111 lay Bolting His
Tobacco.
CONTINUES HIS ADDRESS
Talks So Well That Jury Is But
Twenty Minutes Finding
Negro Guilty.
Although violently ill from hav
ing swallowed a chew of tobacco as
he arose to address the jury, As
sistant District Attorney C. M.
Chambers, in the Thirty-seventh dis
trict court this morning so severe
ly arraigned John Dixon, charged
with burglary and theft, that the
jury went out and returned in
twenty minutes with a verdict of
“guilty” and three years in the
pen. Dixon's case was tho first
taken up when court convened.
Mr. Chambers swallowed the well
niaseerated quid of plug at the moment
that he cleared his throat preparatory to
addressing the jury. He cleared his
throat all right, but the obstruction
went downwards. As a result he became
very ill shortly and it was with diffi
culty that he could finish his address to
the jury. When the jury filed back with
a verdict adverse to the defendant he
wasvtill ill.
Dixon is charged by indictment with
having entered the home of Buford
Taylor, 508 East Quincy, and to have
taken a revolver and a pair of shoes.
He is the negro, according to testimony
who, when discovered by Taylor, tossed
the revolver and the shoes into Tay
lor's buggv, and jumped aboard a pass
ing auto. A week or so later he was
captured and then identified by Taylor
as the negro whom he chased and who
had the articles stolen.
L. W. Greenlay. attorney for Dixon,
strove to perfect an alibi. Three wit
nesses, among them the mother-in-law
and the wife of Dixon, swore that on
May 3, the date of the alleged burglary,
Dixon was at home papering the walls.
The testimony of Taylor, however, was
of such a character, bolstered up by the
testimony of Mrs. W. 8. Carruthers, a
neighbor, who said she saw a negro of
Dixon's appearance entering the Taylor
home, that the jury rendered a verdict
of guilty.
Another case against Dixon will be
taken up this afternoon. His attorney
this morning offered to plead guilty in
one case and accept the lightest sent
ence —two years—but Assistant District
Attorney Chambers refused to re
ceive a confession of guilt in one case.
An it stands so far the negro has re
ceived three years in the pen and has
to answer another indictment besides
other charges which are to be investi
gated by the grand jury at its present
sitting.

fortify the Panama canal and hold n
against all other nations, regardless of
what they may say in the matter.
“On general principles the Panama
canal should be guarded by the United
States. I cannot go into details re

comes under the head of the war de.
partment, and the department main
tains a strict quiet regarding such
things, one to another,” said the see
retary.
“But I believe that which the
United States has built and owns

question, and I am heartily in accoro

CLUE TO BOMB
PLACING FOUND
Police Find Where Dynamite Undet
Los Angeles House Came From.
Bought September 19.
SEARCH FOR BODIES GOING ON
Special Dispatch.
Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 3.—The
police are working on a great clue
which they are firmly convinced
establishes the genesis of the ex
plosive found in the infernal
machine placed under the home of
F. J. Zeehandelaar, secretary of tho
Merchants & Manufacturers asso
ciation last Friday night and which
providentially Jailed to explode.
This bomb contained 16 sticks of
giant gelatine, commonly known as
dynamite. This gelatine was 80
per cent explosive powder, which is
seldom made by powder companies
and it is this fact that gives pe
culiar race to the police conclusion.
Each stick of the dynamite was
stamped with the inscription of the
Giant Powder company at Giant,
Cal., and bore the packing date of
September 30.
i Ou September 19 there appeared at
Jhe offices of the Giant Powder com-
Ipany in the Kohl building in San Frau
leisco two men who gave their names as
A. J. Bryson nnd Wm. Morriss. They
.said they wanted 85 per cent explosives
|to use in blowing up stumps on a
;ranch near Auburn. They were told
Iby the company’s clerk that that was
|too high power to use on stumps. They
finally agreed that 80 per cent powder
;would be high enough and placed an
.order for 500 pounds of it.
| This explosive is called for so seldom
.that the purchase of the two men at-
| traded more than ordinary notice in
|the powder sales room. One’ of the men
(took out a large roll of bills nnd paid
jsBs for the order. Bryson said that he
was connected with the Bryson Con
istruction Co., at Sacramento, but a
{search in that city does not reveal any
[such company. The men were unknown
at the residence address they gave the
powdei company.
Morriss was asked what means ot
transportation he had and he said that
he had a launch, named The Peerless
and would call at the Giant office for
the dynamite.
j A National News association corres
;spoudent located Geo. H. Phillips, em
ployed at the shipping department ot
|thc powder company at Giant, 20 miles
Inoith of Oakland, who loaded the dyna
[mite into the launch and took receipt
'for the delivery of the stuff.
। “On September 21 the launch Peer
lless called at the works ami we loaded up
{the boat with 80 per cent gelatine dyna
;mitc." -aid Phillips. ‘“The launch
Icame to the back at about 11 o’clock iu
the morning. One man signed the re
ceipts as Leonard. He was a stout fel
low and was the boss of the outfit. He
presented the order slips which read?
“ ‘Deliver to A. J. Bryson 500
pounds 80 per cent gelatine.”
The description tallies with that ot
'Bryson who did all the business in San
Francisco.
“The other man was a little fellow
who looked like a Spaniard and had a
slight accent. He did not talk much.
He helped load the stuff. The third
man was a tall fellow, who stayed
away and seemed afraid to handle the
stuff for fear it would blow up.
“When they loaded her up, they
started up the river toward Sacramento,
towing the little rowboat.”
At mindnight, the workmen employed
in clearing out the ruins of the Times
building reached a section of the
wreckage where a heap of bodies, be
lieved io be at least six or eight, were
counted.
The bodies were in such position be
neath the twisted mass of steel Jieayts
and heavy debris that it was found to
co impossible to take them out any
other way than piecemeal, unless the
great mass was first lifted.
Work was stopped at the odge of this
funeral heap until this morning when a
big derrick was installed to lift the
great masses of iron wreckage so that
the bodies can he gotten out intaet.
