SAN ANTONIO
AS METROPOLIS
IS IN DANGER
Unless Form of Government is
Changed it May Lose Posi
tion as First City.
SO CLAIMS C. C. CRESSON
Rousing Commission Govern
ment Meeting Held Last
Night at Muth’s Garden,
Just the exact date on which Dal
las and Houston will eclipse San An
tonio in point of population can be
figured out, unless San Antonio takes
a decided spurt by adopting a form
of government which brings it out of
the manana class and allows it to in
crease at the same percentage as
those towns, said C. C. Cresson last
night at the Commission Government
meeting at Muth’s garden on Govern
ment hill.
"Callaghan and his crowd are seek
ing to perpetuate the situation here,"
said the speaker. “Selfishness on his
part, because citizens appear to want
to think for themselves, has caused
him to wage war on anything that
may mean a curtailment of his power
and an accounting to the people. This
is why he has armed 1500 Mexicans
with poll taxes, which, however, won’t
be a figure compared with what the
citizens can muster against them.”
J. E. Webb also deplored the fact
that the present mayor had taken
umbrage at a movement for the up
building of the city. The Issue, he
said, is before the people in the shape
of a change in form of government,
not before the people in the form of
a change of one man. although the
former Involves the latter.
Albin Seidel, In calling the assemb
ly to order, spoke of what a commis
sion government meant. There was a
large crowd present to hear and ap
plaud the remarks made by him and
others during the evening.
Following the talk of C. C. Cresson,
Dr. L. L. Shropshire took the floor.
He apologized, he said, if at any time
he inadvertently put on the soft ped
al, for such was not his intention. He
was in for fight and not diplomacy.
Diplomacy had failed, he said, as wit
ness the street paving done within
the last few years. San Antonio, he
said, had a smaller percentage of pav
ing than she possessed ten years ago.
D. P. Smith and Clint Brown also
spoke, their speeches adding materi
ally to the success of the evening.
There was applause during the whole
evening and those who were present
seemed to be ardent commissionlsts
all the way through. *
Commission government meetings
were also held last night by the vot
ers of Precinct Nos. and 42, they
assembling at 2710 South Presa. Ne
groes also held a meettlng at the com
mission headquarters.

SAN ANTONIO L
GATCHES HER DEBTOR
AFTER SEVEN YEARS
The beautiful Princess Zoltykoff, be
fore her marriage, Ethel Clinton, the
English actress, who after seven years
pursuit recently found Captain Charles
Glen Collins, former British army of
ficer and won a suit against him In
New York for some rare vases he pur
chased from her and for which he nev
er paid.
When Prince Zoltykoff died In 1903
he left his town house and its con
tents, his Newmarket mansion, his
stable of thoroughbreds and practi
cally all his personal property in Eng
land to the princess. The Curzon
street house contained paintings, stat
uary and other art objects valued, it
was said, at more than $1,000,000. The
collection of snuff boxes and the vases
were pronounced by experts to be the
finest in England.
About that time the princess gave
a dinner in Curzon street, at which
royalty was present. Other guests
were members of the old Jockey club
coterie. Captain Charles Glen Collins
was one.
After the dinner Collins expressed a
wish to see the collection of vases.
Princess Zoltykoff said she contem
plated selling the smaller specimens.
“I should be glad to have these ap
praised,” said Collins, pointing to sev
eral. “and if the figure Is within my
limit I will be delighted to become
their owner.”
After the vases were appraised by
meij sent by Collins he offered the
princess $5OOO cash for them and she
accepted the offer.
Collins took the vases with him In
his cab. telling the princess he would
send a check the next day. The check
never came, and Collins disappeared.
Princess Zoltykoff lost track of Col
lins after that and gave up hope of
getting her money. Nearly seven
years after the incident of the vases
she arrived in New York, six week?
ago. For reasons of her own she pre
ferred to be known as Miss Clinton.
Here she found Collins by accident
in a hotel, brought suit against him
and won her case.

WORLD ALMANAC
HAS IT ALL,
In New Volume for 1911 Every New
Fact Has Been Added.
All the phenomenal growth and de
velopment that have marked the pro
gress of events throughout the world
in 1910 are reflected and recorded in
The World Almanac for 1911. To
enumerate its new features would be
to enumerate everything new and
important that has taken place in the
last year. Its great mass of statis
tical Information on every subject in
which any one would be likely to be
interested has been revised and
brought down to the last moment of
the closing year, and so many new
facts and figures have been added
that apparently no information of
value or importance has been omitted
while for accuracy The World Al
manac has never been excelled.
The completeness with which the
subjects are treated is shown by the
fact that fifteen pages are devoted to
detailed facts concerning the new
“Science of Aviation." "The High Cost
of Living” Is another subject treated
at length tn detail.

S. 3. Briggs & Co., of Providence, R. 1., say: “We have sold Fletcher's
Oastorla in our three stores for the past twenty years and consider it
one of the best preparations on the market"
E. W. Stucky, of Indianapolis, Ind., says:' "To say that we have recom
mended and sold your Castoria for years is the best endorsement we can
possibly give any preparation. It is surely full of merit and worthy of
recommendation."
Henry R. Gray, of Montreal, Que., says: *T would say that your Cas
torla for children Is in large demand and that it gives general satisfaction.
Not being a secret nostrum many medical men order it when circum
stances indicate the use of such a preparation."
W. G. Marshall, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "We have found your Castoria
to be not only one of the best sellers in the medicine market, but a
preparation that gives almost universal satisfaction; In fact we cannot
recall having had a single complaint from any of our customers who
have used It."
Owens & Minor Drug Co., of Richmond, Va., sayer "It Is with pleasure
that we lend our endorsement to Castoria, a preparation of proven
merit. During our long experience in the drug business we have had
abundant occasion to note the popularity of the genuine Fletcher's Cas
toria. which ws unhesitatingly recommend.”
Brannen A Anthony of Atlanta, Ga., sayr "No doubt If we were called
upon to state positively what medicine we had sold for the greatest length
of time, the greatest number of bottles sold, and the most satisfactory
preparation to us and also to the customer, we feel that we could safely j
and conscientiously say Fletcher’s Castoria."
