HARLANDALE
The selling method tells correctly
the story of values.
THERE ARE probably more different ways of sell
ing Addition lots than any other one thing on the mar
ket. and the reason for this is because there are so many
different kinds of lots. It's a good thing for the buyer,
too, because it makes his task of selection an easy one;
all that is necessary for him to do being to observe the
method of selling and he is sure to get a correct line on
the class of lots ofered. Any kind of a scheme that is
calculated to work the Intended purchaser up to a high
pitch of excitement and close with him under high
pressure is pretty certain to have behind it something
that for some reason or other makes the seller mighty
anxious to get rid of it. In this catagory may also be
included the kind of lots that go with prize packages,
free offers, band concerts, etc., etc. GET THE SELL
ING METHODS .AND YOU GET A CORRECT LINE ON
THE REAL VALUES. There is just one class of prop
erty that is really safe to buy and sure of reselling
at advanced figures, and that is the property on
pure merit and on what has been done and what is
actually doing. -Harlandale is the fastest selling, fastest
building Addition on the San Antonio market today,
because HaHandale has better streets, better sidewalks,
better curbs and a better spirit of co-operation with
purchasers than any other Addition. All improvements
in Harlandale, as well as the ground itself, HAVE BEEN
PAID Foil IN SPOT CASH. All improvements are of
the very highest grade, put in for a PERMANENT.
BUILT-UP ADDITION, AND WITH THE ONE IDEA
OF INCREASING VALUES FOR THE BUYERS AND
OURSELVES AS WELL We have no catch penny
schemes, to sell you something you don't want, no rush
methods of closing a sale before the last call of an
auctioneer or the final rattle of a snare drum in a free
band concert. BUT we ask you to use your head, your
own best guide and counseller, and if the best and most
for your money and a sure advance in values caused by
the home building of good people, who are always the
best neighbors, interests you, then compare Harlandale
with anything else on the market, use your own best
judgment and BUY THE BEST. THE VERDICT OF
THE PUBLIC IS THE SUREST AND SAFEST GUIDE
TO THE BEST. Actual purchasers in Harlandale and
actual homes built and in course of constriction out
number all other new San Antonio additions combined.
GO OUT TO HARLANDALE AND SEE FOR YOUR
SELF.
Take the South Flores street car to
end of line where you will see our
branch office and find our agents
pleased to wait on you, or call at or
phone our main office and we will
take you out.

DEMAND FREE SPEECH
Associated Press.
Boston. Mass.. Feb. 13.- —More than
300 members of the Railway Mail as
sociation of New England, at a meet
ing last night adopted resolutions
which will be submitted to congress
asking for a better regulation of hours
of work, traveling allowances and
"freedom of speech."
Regarding free speech the resolu
tion says:
“We assert as American citizens en
gaged in public service that we are
entitled to the benefits conferred by
the constitution, and demand the res
cinding of the executive order which
forbids freedom of speech on the part
of government employes."

LEGISLATURE
NOT READY TO
QUIT WORK YET
Move to Rush Appropriation
Bill Through and Then Go
Home Will Fail.
LEGISLATIVE REST? — NIX
More Bills Than Ever Are In
troduced and Prospects for
a Special Session Good,
Austin, Tex., Feb. 13. —That any
effort to have the appropriation bill
brought before tne house will be
blocked is apparent here today. The
Committee has had the bill over a
week and it will soon be ready to be
reported upon favorably.
The work done on the bill in com
mittee has not been thorough, how
ever, and it is certain that much
time will- be consumed in discussing
the bill in the house. To bring the
bill up for passage in the house at
this time would mean that there
would be little chance for any other
legislation. Too many "pet ' bills
stand in the way of adjournment at
this time. Most of these can be got
ten out of the way by March 10. Tnen
adjournment can be taken and the
governor will doubtless call a special
session to pass the appropriation bill.
Committee work is well up this ses
sion and both house and senate calen
dars are crowded with bills reported
favorably. Watsons bill raising the
age of children from six to eight
years when they can ride for half
fare is pending business. An amend
ment by Vaughan requiring roads to
carry passengers back to their place
ot destination when carried past the
destination will be first matter be
fore the senate.
In the house the tuberculosis sani
tarium bill is [tending business. A
number of physicians, who have in
terests in private sanitariums, favor
the Willacy bill, providing for one
sanitarium. Under this bill the pri
vate sanitariums would be able to
get some of the best-paying patients
from the state sanitarium. hTg house
bill provides for four tent colonies in
different parts of the state.
More Bills Than Ever.
In the senate there have been 220
bills/fntroduced against 170 bills on
the corresponding day two years ago.
The Senate Journal of today has
reached page 400, and the journal
two years ago carried 316 pages for
a corresponding period. The Journal
two years ago included the Bascom
Thomas investigation, which occupies
about fifty pages.
lieutenant Governor Davidson was
able to leave his room back of the
senate chamber for the first time last
evening. He said he had found that
the senate had cost more by $5OOO
than it had for a corresponding period
two years ago. One of the reasons for
the extra cost is the number of em
ployes. There are twenty-seven ste
nographers and committee clerks in
addition to officers of the senate,
pages and porters.
Redistricting bills will probably be
introduced during the week. Repre
sentative Davis has the representative
district bill ready, and Representative
Williams of Dallas has a bill ready
ehnging the congressional districts ot
the state, creating two new congres
sional districts. According to Bailey
leaders in the house there is no truth
in the statement that there is a plan
on foot to make a “shoestring" dis
trict by which Congressmen Henry
and Randell, two anti-Bailey congress
men, would be placed in the same dis
trict. A leading Bailey man is au
thority for the statement that Bailey
does not approve of such a gerryman
der.
West Texas will "’in all probability
get the two new districts from Texas,
portions being taken out of Garner s
Slayden, Smith's and Stephens' dis
tricts, with possibly a few counties
taken from adjoining districts.

Convicted; Will Go

Negro Girl Sentenced to" Reformatory
lor Burglary Cannot Go and
Maj Not Be Reft-ied.
Special Dispatch.
Gonzales. Tex.. Feb. 13. —‘A pecu
liar state of affairs exists here in the
case ot Emma Price, a young negro
girl convicted at the January term of
the district court on the charge of
burglary and the verdict of the jury
assessed her punishment at confine
ment in the state reformatory for a
term of two years. On yesterday the
penitentiary transfer agent called
here for the prisoners convicted at
the last term of court and Emma
Price, among others, were turned
over to him and he left town on the
Sap train.
On arriving at Yoakum he tele
phoned back to the sheriff that he
had no authority to take this pris
oner to the reformatory, that the law
directed this duty to be performed by
the sheriff. After examination of the
law by the sheriff’s department it
was discovered that the state refor
matory does not receive fentale pris
oners at all.
It appears that the girl will escape
punishment altogether, as she can not
be sent to either the reformatory or
penitentiary under the present sen
tence and she cannot be tried again
for the offense of burglary as she
can plead “former jeopardy” and a
conviction would not be allowed by
the court.
The prisoner was returned to this
city to await further developments.
