on Mr. Rockefeller’s' loss of $140,000,-

his appreciation of her efforts, even if
eggs go up to $1 a dozen.

HOW HE WOULD VOTE.
K. Lamity’s Harpoon.
A subscriber wants to know whether
I am an anti, or a pro. As the word is
usually understood I am an anti. If I
had the only vote on earth, and by vot-
ing it I could continue the manufacture
of whisky and alcohol or stop it for-
ever, I would vote to “^top it.” , As
such conditions are not possible I have
sense enough to realize it, so do not
worry over the matter. If a man is fool
enough to belly up to a booze joint
counter and make a jackass of himself,
that’s his business. I have always no-
ticed that 'when you find a man who
has made a gushing failure at every-
thing he has ever attempted, who is ab-
solutely unable to regulate himself, you
will find a fellow worrying himself half
to death trying to regulate other peo-
ple. But of all the abomniable things
on earth to me, it a man Who votes for
prohibition and gets drunk every time
he can get the booze.

New York, Dec. 17.—The men who
took part in the six-day bicycle race at
Madison Square Garden last week, spent
yesterday in resting. An informal
meeting was held at the Hotel Bar-
tholdi in the afternoon and the rivalries
and animosities of the -week were for-
gotten. There was nothing about the
men suggestive of physical hardship.
Every man who finished will receive a

when the winners will receive the lion’s
share of the $4500 set apart as prize
money. Root and Fogler will get about
$1500 of this amoun; and the remaining
$3000 will be divided on the percentage
plan as the teams finished.
The race is said to have been the
most successful from a financial stand-

NOT EFFECTED YESTERDAY.
Release ;of California Miner Entombed in
a Mountain of Granite.
By Associated Press.
Bakersfield, Call., Dec. 17.—The release
of Hicks, the miner who has been en-
tombed in a mountain of granite at the
works of the Edison Electric company in
the Kern river canyon since a week ago
last Saturday, was not effected yesterday
as planned, and the officials in charge
do not expect the drift to be completed
until late, tonight or tomorrow morning.
Under the direction of the company’s
resident physician, arrangements for car-
ing for Hicks after he is rescued have
been made. The miner will be blind-
folded and then placed on a stretcher
which 10 employes will carry through six
miles of completed tunnel to the com-
pany’s hospital, where he will be given
constant attention until fully recovered,
from his remarkable experience.
At 6 o'clock last night 12 feet of hard
granite stood between the miner and his
freedom.

A SENSELESS HABIT.
Liberty Vindicator.
A very senseless and filthy habit is
that of wetting the lead of a pencil in
the mouth before proceeding to write,
yet a majority of the people do it. Wet-
ting the lead hardens and finally ruins
it, and a moment’s thought will show
how unsanitary the practice is. An
energetic clerk in the office of an east-
ern newspaper says that by actual count
49 out of 50 people that come into his
office to write advertisements for his
paper would wet the pencil before using
it. Not wanting his pencil ruined in
that way, he purchased some cheap
ones for the office, and when the driver
of a beer wa^on, with the scent of beer,
onions, cheese, etc., on his breath, came
in to put in an ad for a bulldog, and
proceeded to wet the pencil, and a tew
minutes later a pretty girl stepped in
to write an ad .for!a lost,, bracelet, and
proceeded to lick the same.pencil,^wiien
the idea occurred to him to, count ..those
■who would wet the pe^npi.1 before writing
during the, balance, of the.day, with,the
result that, 49 out of 50 licked the. same
pencil during the day. Just why people
wet a pencil before writing no one-
seems to know, but they do it.

The annual observance of B'nai B’rith
day was held last evening at 9 o’clock'
in Temple, B’nai Israel, 22d and Avenue
I. The program was carried out under
the auspices of the local lodge of the
Independent Order of B’nai Brith, Zac-
harias Frenkel lodge No. 242. The pul-
pit and altar of the synagogue were
tastefully decorated for the occasion in
potted plants and palms, and just in
front of the altar was placed a large
portrait of the late Leo N. Levi, in
whose memory an address was de-
livered during the evening. The exer-
cises of the evening were carried out in
the following order:

In opening the services Rev. Henry
Cohen briefly explained’the occasion of
the annual festival of Hanucah, which covers the greater portion of the country,
is now in progress, saying that the The Te.xas disturbance of De'c. 15 has
event which made .its? commemoration u. —.i----x-----
appropriate occurred more than 1900
years ago, about 130. years before the
Christiaan era—in fact, when Judas
Maccabeus drove from Palestine the
tyrannical and pagan Syrian hordes un-
der Antiochus, and recaptured, cleansed
and rededicated the holy temple. From
those day to this, he said, it has been
the custom of Jews to observe the an-
nual, feast of lights, ;making the festi-
val an occasion. of jbyousness and
praise.
A feature of tjie evening's program
was the memorial address to the late
Leo N. Levi, .a former citizen of Galves-
ton and for tjiree gears’,and a half the
president' and leader of the Order of
B’nai B’rith in America.'^ This address
was delivered by Mr. Charles Frenkel,
an.d was-’.a.tlmigfitfjii. and eloquent one.
He dwelt in the plain upon Mr. Levi’s
great work for t^ib B’nai B’rith, saying
that as the head, and leader of this or-
der Mr., Leyi possessed great hope in
the future..of the organization of the
Jews as. a racer-and that he was un-
swerving in his high devotion and in
his efforts in every way to better the
condition of Jews.
Mr. G. A. Levi of Victoria, a brother
of Leo. N. Levi, deceased, and a past
grand president of B’nai B’rith, was in-
troduced by Mr. Frenkel. He delivered
an address, setting forth the charitable
and benevolent purposes of the B’nai
B’rith in its work, and calle^ upon all
Jews to unite in carrying out its
humanitarian mission. He spoke of the
work the order is doing toward the
alleviation of the persecuted condition
of the Jews in foreign countries and
the efforts in this country toward pro-
viding the immigrant Jews with homes
and a chance to make something of life.
In concluding, he outlined the work of
the order and appealed to all Jews to
enter its membership.
Sweetheart of Miner With Broken Spine
Proved Faithful to End.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 17.—James Watt
Drysdale, the young iron worker who
was married just before an operation
for a broken spine in Bellevue hospital
a week ago Sunday night to Miss Chris-
tine Frazer Johnstone, his bdyhood
sweetheart, died yesterday. His bride
held his hand as he passed away. His
last words were, of his love for her.
Drysdale lived in Brooklyn. He had
been -working on a new building and
fell from the eleventh floor to the base-
ment. His fellow workmen thought he
was dead when they picked him up. -
He recovered consciousness, though,
and was taken to Bellevue. The phy-
sicians found that his back was broken.
Miss Johnstone, who was engaged to
Drysdale, when told of hi-s desperate
condition, said she wished to marry the
man. ' Drysdale rebelled. “At best I’ll
be a cripple for life,” he told the girl.
“I don’t wlant you to make this sacri-
fice.” .
“Yes, but I want to marry you now
and forever,” smiled the girl, and the
ceremony was performed.
Beerbohm Tree.
Beerbohm Tree, the renowned roman-
tic and tragic actor, was born in Lon-
don Dec. 17, 1853. His real name is
Beerbohm, which has been Anglicized
into Tree for stage purposes. Mr. Tree
was aducated in Germany and made
his first appearqance on the stage in
1878. He made his reputation in “The
Private Secretary” in the role of Rev.
Robert Spalding. He had played, it is
said, at least 100 parts before he studied
the “ways and tricks and manners” of
a meek young curate, whom he chanced
to meet at a dinner party, and set all
the theater-going world crazy with his
revelation of the character in the role
of Mr. Spalding. In 1887 Mr. Tree be-
came manager of the Haymarket
theater, London, holding the position
until 1896, when he became the pro-
prietor and manager of Her Majesty’s
theater. Mr. Tree and his wife, whose

GALVESTON TRIBUNE
(2»at«il311she><:l 1880.)
TRIBUNE TELEPHONES i
Business 83
Editorial Rooms;....,, ..... 4?
Published every.-Week Day Afternoon at
The Tribune Building, 22nd and Post-
office Sts., Galveston, Texas.
In the editorial from the .Fort Worth
Telegram relative to “the cotton blockade
at Galveston,” that was reproduced in
Saturday’s issue of the Tribune, there are
a number of statements that reflect ser-
iously upon this city, none of which,
however, can be supported by facts. It
is to be regretted that a paper of the
high standing of the Telegram should
have made use of such matter editorially
without first making an effort to get thor-
oughly reliable information that could be
Very easily obtained.
The Telegram says that the cotton block-
ade at Galveston is playing havoc all over
the state and the railways are powerless
to relieve the situation; that the railways
assert they are swamped with traffic and
that the trouble is located in Galveston;
that Galveston has not made adequate,
provision to handle the tremendous vol-
ume of business now seeking an outlet
through the port; that interior compresses
f are swamped with cotton waiting to be
shipped to Galveston, and all railroad
shipping points in the state are in prac-
tically the same condition; thousands of
bales of cotton now loaded for Galveston
cannot be moved because there is no room
for it after reaching this city.
Following a table giving the number
of bales of cotton shipped through Gal-
veston from 1899 to 1905, the Telegram
goes on to say that the railways claim
that Galveston is trying to handle the
great business of the present year with
the facilities of’*several years ago; that
the railways also say that if additional
trackage was built across the bay it would
only result in piling up more cotton down
here and add to the demoralization; that
the remedy lies in Galveston’s own hands—
she must either “proceed to get busy”
and prepare to handle this immense traf-
fic, or lose it.
The Tribune wants to say the Tele-
gram that nearly every line of the state-
ments briefed above from their recent edi-
torial is^untrue; that there is no blockade
of cotton in Galveston outside of the yards
0f the railroad companies; that the ships-—
scores of them—are here waiting at tre-
mendous loss for their cargoes of cotton;
that the wharves, capable of holding
thousands upon thousands of bales of
cotton, are almost empty; that there are
miles of railroad sidings on the wharves
that are unoccupied and switch engines
and crews ready to fill and clear them
promptly; that the wharf facilities of Gal-
veston have been added to yearly, in pro-
portion fully equalling the increase of the
cotton business of the port, and that these
same facilities are capable of promptly
' handling the cotton now reaching them if
multiplied by twenty, at least; that the
congestion of cotton of which the state
Is complaining is entirely, up to this time,
caused by the railway companies them-
selves; that the Tribune stands ready to
assist the Telegram in complete verifica-
tion of all of these statements if given
an opportunity to do so. And further,
that if the Telegram will send its editor
or any other capable representative of
that department to Galveston to see and
learn the true conditions as they exist
here relative to the cotton situation, the
Tribune will pay all expenses and provide
all facilities for a thorough investigation.
All Galveston wants in statements of
this kind is that the truth be first ob-
tained and fearlessly told, no matter
whom it strikes. In this case the Tribune
Will be only too well pleased to place the
facilities for obtaining the facts at the
command of its esteemed North Texas
associate in the afternoon field that has,
unintentionally no doubt, done Galveston
as • great an injustice as an erroneous
statement in its columns could accomplish
at this time when the public is seeking^
