Texas Heroes' Day Is Observed
By Exercises at Last Resting
Place of Lone Star Heroes.
DON A. BLISS IS THE ORATOR
Children Sing Patriotic Songs
and Decorate Ben Milam’s
Tomb With Garlands,
Thy prairie*, broad, are fair to view,
Texas land, my Texas land.
Thy skies above are bright and blue,
Texas land, my Texas land.
Of mellow lisjht on hill ind stream,
And like a vision from a dream,
Texas land, my Texas land.
Thus sang hundreds of school chil
dren as they encircled the grave of
Ben Milam on Milam square, bearing
banners and garlands of flowers with
which to decorate the sacred spot
upon the anniversary of the fall of
the Alamo. Besides the school chil
dren there were also numbers of or
phans from the adjacent institution,
who, in company with the sisters in
charge, took part in the exercises.
Among the prominent visitors was J.
B. Brewton of Kirbyville, a nephew
of William Barrett Travis, who was
chief in command at the siege of the
Alamo.
The exercises opened with the sing
ing of '"Texas Land" by the children,
led by J. K. Harris, who at the con
clusion of the song introduced Don
A. Bliss, who was the chief orator of
the day.
In part the speaker said:
"It would afford me pleasure to talk
to you today if I knew how to reach
your young minds and Impress you
with the lesson taught by the death
of Milam and the other heroes who
gave up their live* for their country.
I say it would afford me pleasure, for
I know that the children are those
upon whom the destiny of our state
depends. You are the young men and
who are to take the places of
all of us older people whose sands of'
life will soon be run. Upon you chil
dren depends whether Texas shall
continue to rise in greatness or
whether our state shall go down in
decay. If you are imbued with high
ideals, if you make duty the supreme
guide of your lives just as did Milam
and the others who died almost on
thia spot in the performance of their
duty seventy-five years ago. then 1
know that the glory of Texas will not
be dimmed in the future, but that it
will shine brighter and brighter as
’the years roll by.
‘When you think about Milam and
Travis, Bowie and Crockett, are you
not proud that you were born in
Texas, the eountry they shed their
blood to save? Do not your hearts
swell within you in the hope that you
~X> by the court of your lives, prove
that you are not worthy of a country
that had such heroes In its early days 7
If you have this feeling, and I am
sure you have, do not stifle or repress
it. Let it prompt you to go onward
and upward with the work that they
commenced so well. Set your faces
like flint and your hearts like steel
to go and do your full duty to this,
your country, just as they did. And
if you do. how proud will the country
be of you. After the course of life is
run for you. as it must for all, flowers
will be spread upon your graves just
as you have spread them upon Mi
lam’s grave today, songs will be sung
in your praise just as you have chant
ed them today, and thousands upon
thousands will love your memory just
as we love the memories of Milam
and the others who died for us so
long ago.”

Fred Welsh Will

Associated Prese.
New York, March 7.—The warm
competition for the lightweight cham
pionship in this country will be fur
ther complicated next week by the ar
rival of Fred Welsh, one of the clever
est boxers of his weight In England,
who comes with a general challenge to
the lightweights of America. He ex
pects to meet Wolgast, Brown, Hogan
and other aspirants.
Welsh lost the lightweight title of
Great Britain last week, together with I
the Lonsdale belt, in a twenty-round I
bout with Matt Wells, a newcomer.
The bout was awarded to the latter on
points.
the children sang the "Texas Heroes'
i Song”:
We lay the crown of memory
Upon the place of rest,
Wlsere noble heroes He asleep
Within earth's icy breast.
For those who fell at Alamo,
For those who died at Mier,
The brave hearts still at Goliad,
All claim the silent tear.
Charles Merritt Barnes was the
I next speaker on the program and in
his address he deprecated the van- 1
dalism that permitted the Veramendi
palace, the place where Bowie won
his bride, the fair Ursula of the house
of Veramendi. and where old Ben
Milam fell fighting and was first
: buried, to be wiped from off the face
of the earth. It is meet, he said, that
the children of today be taught a
t patriotism that the monuments of
i scenes of valor may be removed from

The Jury Returns Unanimous
Verdict.
By a correspondent.
A jury consisting of rome of the most
listinguisbed chemists of America has
returned an unanimous verdict of “not
guiltv” in the case of Knocker at al
vs, Coca-Cola. It will be remembered
that some tims ago a report was circu
lated to the effect that Coca Cola con
tained injurious materials and was.
therefore, harmful in its effect upon the
human body.
The rumor was originated by an nn
scrupulous competitor of Coca-Cola, the
popular temperance drink, spread rap
idly and found some credence among
those who did not know the origin of
the report.
The Jury finds that not only does
Coca-Cola contain nothing harmful, but
that it is much euperior to tea and
coffee in that it is free from tannic acid
and, therefore, pfomdtes digestion in
stead of retarding it. Each of the dis
. tinguished chemists reported that he
had mam a careful chemical analysis
if Coca-Cola and found it to contain
no “dope” of any kind. If you would
like to see copies of these letters, write
to the Coca Cola Co., Atlanta, Ga., for
' a free copy of a booklet entitled “The
Truth About Coca-Cola.” The .jury was

CAnLEMEN TO
TO OWN CITY
Town Will Be Thrown Wide
Open While They Are Here
During the Convention.
When the Cattle Rainer*’ A**ocla
tlon of Texaa convene* In San Antonio
for the thirty-fifth annual meeting
March 21, 21 and 21, the gate* of
the city will be thrown wide open
and the whole town turned over to
the viaiUng cattlemen without reser
vation a* a result of carefully laid
plans of local cattlemen who are in
charge of the entertainment to be af
forded the visitor*. The varlcu* com
mittee* now working on the program
will meet at 3 o’clock this afternoon
in the chamber cf commerce and re
port to the main committee, of which
Nat Washer is chairman.
The cattlemen are not diaclosing all
of their plans but the hints that have
leaked out since the committees be
gan work are sufficient to show that
the visitors will not have a dull mo
ment from the time they land in San
Antonio until they depart. Enough
committees were appointed tc do the
work thoroughly and they Include
those op finance, on music, on pre
paring a program fcr a smoker and
on preparation for a half do*»n other
things that will be done for the bene
fit of the visiting cattlemen when
there is a moment tc spare from the
program of the convention, which by
the way is of sufficient length to keep
the cowmen busy a great part of the
three days.
It was announced at the last meet
ing cf the committees that they would
all probably be in shape to report
fully at the next meeting and the ses
sion this afteriioon is therefore ex
pected to develop the complete plans
cf the local men for taking care of
their guests. The smoker Is to be on*
of the biggest features and those in
charge are putting in a great deal of
time to make It a success.

in the lower Rio Grande valley want
to trade with San Antonio. They are
willing to buy in this city If we will
let them.”
He asked for a united effort on the
part of the business men and that all
difference* be put aside in the effort
to achieve the success of this railroad
project.
Judge Dbnman explained the sub
scription plan at the request of a num
ber of business men in attendance at
the meeting. San Antonio was asked
to subscribe $500,000 forlhe 'apital
stock of a construction company, he
said, the amount to be subscribed by
April 1. After this amount is sub
scribed the subscription list will be
turned over to the San Antonio Loan
and Trust company, which will then
call for five per cent of the amount,
or $25,000. A commitee of twenty
| business men is then to investigate two
, matters, first, the feasibility of the
1 project, and, second, whether the bo
| nuses that can be obtained will be
I sufficient.
City Has One Remedy.
"If we cannot raise the small
I amount necessary to build this road
i we must stand Idly by and see our
J commeYclal territory cut down,” said
। Judge Denman. "A city must have
railroads and San Antonio has no
I reason to be relegated to the rear as
। a commercial center, even though the
1 big systems have this territory dlvld
| cd up and we can’t get money in New
I York or elsewhere wdth which to
build this road. San Antonio has one
remedy and that Is for us to put our
' hands in our pockets, take a very
। small part of our earnings and build
this road. We do not expect to oper
-1 ate the road after we have built it.
We are not railroad men. After we
build It we expect some big system
'will take it over and operate it, but
we ourselves must build it.”
Judge Denman stated that George
’j W. West, whose ranch In Live Oak
county is on the proposed line of the
' road, had authorised him to say that
he would subscribe $50,000 to the pro
,'ject and that he would double thia
’ ( subscription if necesflary.
By far the most interesting address
of the evening was that of Dr. W. B.
Phillips, wVo outlined the economic
possibilities of the territory to be
traversed by the road. Dr. Phillip* 1a
engaged In making an economic sur
vey of the country from San Angelo
i to Alpine and on to the border for the
• Orient railroad.
Wealth Almost Unlimited.
। ”1 am not exaggerating when I say
that the country between San An-
I tonlo and Brownsville offers wonderful
possibilities,” said Dr. Phillips, "not
. J only because of Its products of fuel,
, I oil, gas, artesian water, etc., but be
cause of its possibilities in the way ol
agricultural development. The min
i eral productlbn of Texas Is $170,000,-
‘ 000, and oil, fuel, clays and the com
mon things of life compose the biggest
, part of it. Thi* proposed road runs

AT BASKETBALL
The members and officers of the
City Basketball league met around the
festive board last night at the Sara
toga restaurant to do honor to the
Twenty-second infantry basketball
team, winners of the city and state
championship. Forty odd were seated
at the banquet, among them being a
number of Invited guests. N. 8.
Moyes president of the league, acted
as toastmaster. He acquitted himself
with great credit
A. F. Dugosh, secretary-treasurer of
the league, made the presentation
speeches. To Lieut M. B. Barber, man
ager of the Twenty-second Infantry
basketball team, on behalf of the City
Basketball league, Mr. Dugo*h in a
few well-chosen words, presented a
beautiful silver loving cup with the
following inscription:
they are all valuable. There are 60.-
000 square mile* of lignite in Texas
and If the production were Increased I
ten time* It would take 5000 years to j
exhaust the supply.
“Do you know that the natural gas
district* of the United States have
contributed to cheap production more
than any one other thing? And do
you know that within -twenty-five
miles of San Antonio is one of the
finest uatural gas belts In the entire
Country? A pressure of 600 pounds I
has been recorded and when they get I
a pressure of 400 pounds in other I
fields they are happy. The records!
show that the pressure in this field Is I
higher than in any other field in the ■
state. There is no better field than
natural gas and the next best Is lig-1
nite. You have both within youri
reach.
What Is the Matter?
"We have the climate, the water.
Juel, the men and the money,” he said
■in conclusion. "What is the matter
with us?”
J. H. Kirkpatrick declared that San
Antonio must wake up and go after
this road. As an Instance of the riv
alry of other towns he told of the en
' terprise of Corpu* Christi in raising
$185,000 to build a hotel resort.
In addition to opening up a vast
territory In Texas tha road will also
' tap a rich section In Mexico, declared
Edwin Chamberlain, who told of the
’ immense irrigation projects under way
across the border and of the opening
up of the territory between Tampico
and Matamoros.
1 "It will be only a question of a
1 short time until there is a direct rall
■ road from New York to Panama,” he
said, "and San Antonio is the logical
