olution calling for purchase of site was
introduced and passed, a letter from
mayor dealing with the conditions
making it necessary to locate the build-
ing at a different place than before
agreed upon was read and filed and the
earnest money posted. The meeting was
called as a result of a conference held
by the board yesterday afternoont at
which it was agreed to buy for the sum
of $60,000 he block lying beween
Tweny-fifth and Twenty-sixth streets
and Avenues H and I, now occupied by
the Holy Rosary church and convent,
and owned by the Right Reverend Bis-,
hop Nicholas A. Gallagher, bishop of
Galveston.
When the board met the resolution
calling for the purchase of a site for
the new building was read. The may-
or’s letter was hen read and the signed
contract was adopted. The contract for
the purchase of the entire block was,
signed by J. L. Boddeker and company,-,
agents fo rthe seller, Nicholas A. GaI-
lagher, bishop of Galveston the seller,
and Lewis Fisher, mayor president of
the board of city commissioners'of the
city of Galveston. s.
With that done the site for the new.
municipal building, which is to be the
largest and best in the south, was set-
tled forever, and the first step oward
the erection of the structure was ta-
ken.

Prospects Bright.
Prospects for wheat exports during
the present month indicate that a bet-
ter record will be made for the port
than in the same month of any pre-
ceding year. If grain shipments con-
tinue in the same proportion as they
have started during the first few days,
the total for the month, will amount
to a million bushels. Already there
have gone out or been loaded for ship-
ment within the next two days more
than 300,000 bushels of wheat, and sev-
eral vessels now are en route to Gal-
veston which will carry out cargoes of
grain.
The steamship Cayo Manzanillo has
taken 128,000 bushels, the Drumlanrig
72,000 bushels and the Bavaria 120,000
bushels, a total of 320,000. The Gloria
de Larrinaga will arrive June 8 and
will load with full grain cargo and
other vessels are scheduled to steam
from here with grain before the end
of the month. Galveston is coming to
be one of the principal grain export-
ing ports ,of the Atlantic seaboard, and
will be the largest of all if present
prospects for the coming season hold
good. '
June of this year is certain to beat
the record of June 1913, which was one
of the banner months in this respect
in the history of the port. Last year
June exports amounted to 365,270
bushels, an extra good record.

DAILY MOVEMENT AT
Beach.
Galveston Lodge of Moose provided
a unique and pleasing entertainment
for the members and their friends last
night at their new home on the beach.
A vaudeville social, comprising acro-
batic stunts, quartette music an songs,
monologue speeches, and ending with
a friendly wrestling bout between
Ralph King and Danny Digger, was
the program. Approximately five hun-
dred Moose and their friends enjoyed
the evening’s entertainment. Between
acts, refreshments were served to all.
This is the first of a series of enter-
tainments to be provided during the
summer by this popular organization
at their home on the beach. The en-
tertainment committee promise to put
on the best form of entertainment for
the members and their families.
Atlantis of the Gulf Coast Fruit and
Steamship service, which now is in
dry dock at New Orleans, will ‘ not
come direct to Galveston, but will
steam from New Orleans for the com-
pany’s Mexican plantations and will
bring here a cargo of approximately
25,000 bunches of bananas, the largest
cargo ever to have come to Galveston
out of Mexico.
The steamship City of Mexico of the
Wolvin line will steam this afternoon
for Tampico and Vera Cruz, carrying
cargo and a full passenger list, most
of the passengers consisting of re-
turning oil men.
The tank steamer Brabant cleared
and steamed today in ballast for Tam-
pico where she will take on cargo.
The Peirce line steamship Italia
cleared today for Genoa and will sail
late today or tomorrow morning.
the site selected will doubtless please
all the citizens of Galveston. It is a
little further south than was first
thought of by the board, but the mem-
bers say that the fact the city must
buikd west and south is sufficient for
saying that the new building will soon
be in the center of the city. They are
pleased with the site they have secured
and say when the building is erected
the pople of Galveston will be satis-
fied.
The new building will be erected in
the center of the block acquired. It
will be at least three stories high and
will contain in addition to an audi-
torium with a seating capacity of 5,000
the various offices which may in the
future be used by the officials of the
city government. There will be no po-
lice department or corporation court in
the new building. These, will remain
where they are. The chief of police will
have an office in the structure but at
presen he will not occupy it.

In the brief respecting the Galveston
terminus of the government owned
pipe line from Oklahoma to the gulf,
which is being prepared by Col. Walter
Gresham at the request of Cato Sells,
United States commissioner of Indian
affairs, the location favored for the
fuel station and refinery will be on the
mainland near Texas City. The reasons
for deciding on this location /were
stated by Col. Gresham this morning as
follows: If the fuel stations are lo-
cated there risk of fire will be definite-
ly eliminated and also the danger to
the tanks from an enemy’s fire. It will
also make possible the erection of a
refinery there which would be impossi-
ble if the location was the island or
Pelicant spit, because a sufficient water
supply could not be obtained it
either of these two points. A number
of artesian wells could be bored near
a refinery erected at that place which
could supply the refinery with the
amount required up to 40.000,000 gal-
lons a day. From this refinery two
distributing lines could be run, one to
run along the Texas City dike to re-
ceiving tanks on Pelican island, and the
other to cross the channel north of the
causeway to Galveston island, where
it could be fed to Galveston oil burning
factories. Loading racks could be
placed near the receiving tanks on Pel-
ican island and the battleships or gov-
ernment tankers could be loaded at a
good depth. This channel is now being
dredged to a proper depth, and the
money is appropriated for its comple-
tion. Money has also been appropriat-
ed for the completion of the Texas
City dike. To reach the loading racks
the vessel would come up Galveston
channel and pass on the north side of
Pelican island to the Texas City chan-
nel. There is no possible chance that
the terminus will be any other place
than Galveston in the event that the
pipe line project is declared feasible,
according to Col. Gresham, for this port
is 75 miles nearer than Beaumont to
Dallas, where the oil lines will con-
verge. it is 259 miles nearer than any
Louisiana point, and it is the only real
deep water channel of any point on
the coast.

Admiralty Cases.
Three decisions in admiralty cases
were handed down by Judge Waller T.
Burns, yesterday afternoon before he
left for Houston, where he presided at
the hearing of an equity case this
the committee who is now in New York,
asking him to go to Washington at
his earliest convenience. Since the bill
reached the senate, an amendment has
been added which in Col. Gresham s
opinion is opposed to the most econom-
ical construction of the wall. The
amendment provides that Galveston
county must build is share, 3,330 feet,
before the federal government will
make a contract. He is in favor of a
continuous contract because the con-
tractor can thus distribute the cost
of his plant which includes a road to
the point where the wall is being con-
structed, between the county and fed-
eral governments. Otherwise the con-
tractor will figure cost of this plant
and the risk in his first contract which
under the provisions of the amendment
must be made by the county.
Marine Notes.
After inspection by Capts. John
Leach and Felix Smith, United States
inspectors of steam vessels, the steam-
ship El Sol of the Morgan line, which
suffered a broken steampipe last
Wednesday, was allowed to leave port
yesterday afternoon for New York.
The North German Lloyd steamship
Cassel which arrived in port this
morning with nearly 500 passengers
from Bremen, is discharging at pier
29 and will steam from Galveston on
Saturday, June 13, with cargo and pas-
sengers for Bremen. She will make
the passage via Baltimore.
The Morgan line steamship El Valle
cleared and steamed today for New
York, carrying a full cargo of general
merchandise.
The United Fruit company steamship
Preston, which brought bananas to
Galveston last Thursday, cleared yes-
terday and steamed in ballast today
for Barrios.

It became known here yesterday that
four large steel towers are to be
erected by the Stone & Webster engin-
eering corporation for the purpose of
carrying a high tension feed wire over
the channel at the lift bridge of the
Galveston Causeway. The wire will be
used to supply additional current for
the interurban line of the Galveston-
Houston Electric company and will act
as a booster for the present current
supply.
The towers will be erected on sub-
stantial re-inforced concrete founda-.
tions, and the contract for construct-
ing the foundations has been awarded
to Albert Majors. Mr. Majors an-
nounces that he has ordered and has
on hand all the material and that ac-
tual work will begin June 10. He ex-
pects to complete- the job within six
weeks.
The erection of these towers, and
particularly the building of the foun-
dations, is a large piece of work and
the final cost of the improvements will
amount to between $15,000 and $20,000.
The foundations will consist of four:
steel bridge tubes, five feet in diame-
ter and 25 feet in length, which will be
sunk 15 feet below the level of the
bottom of the bay. On the inside of
the tubes piling will be driven and the
tubes then will be excavated and filled
with re-inforced concrete.
On top of the tubes will be non-
structed a cap of re-inforced concrete,
10 feet square and three fet thick. For
holding the towers in place, anchor
bolts will be extended through the
caps and into the tubes, thereby fur-
nishing a substantial foundation.

site fo rthe new building. Twice this
body thought they had secured the
site and as many times they were dis-
appointed. Only yesterday they gave
out the statement that condemnation
proceedings had been begun for the se-
curing of the half block lying north of
the Ball High school. This property
would have been taken but for the fact
that it is desired' to erect the building
atonce and it was known that it would
require months to secure it.
Now that the matter is. settled the
architects will visit the city at once and
secure the necessary data for the draw-
ing of the preliminary plans of the
building.
MAYOR’S LETTER.
The following is the mayor’s letter
dealing with the purchase of the prop-
erty.
Galveston,' Tex., June 6, 1914—Hon.
Board of Commissioners, City of Gal-
veston-—-Gentlemen: As you have been
advised by the city attorney at several
conferences held to consider the mat-
ter, the city has a well defined legal
right to condemn any property needed
for its city hall and auditorium build-
ing. Of the seen lots included in the
half block selected by this board as the
most desirable location for this mu-
nicipal building, we have been able to
agree upon .the value of only one lot.
The remainder, it appears, can only be
had at the end of long and tedious liti-
gation. While the result, in the opinion
of the city attorney and in my opinion,
is certain, the time and expense is de-
cidedly uncertain. The city attorney
advises that the defendants in the pro-
posed litigation could keeep the city
out of possession of the property for a
period of 15 months or more. The own-
ers of practically five lots have signi-
fied their intention to delay proceedings
as much as possible, and to prevent,
for as long a time as possible, the,city’s
obtaining physical possession of the
property. During that time the entire
funds of the bond issue of $300,000
could not be used, nor could any defi-
nite plans for building be agreed on nor
the contract awarded thereon, since the
cost of the site would be more or less
uncertain until all litigation was
through with.
As a result of this demand on the
part of the property owners and their
unwillingness to fix a fair price for the
property or to leave the price to arbi-
tration, permitting the, city to take
prompt possesssion, it becomes neces-
sary either to make the sacrifice of de-
priving the people of Galveston for over
two years of the use of the building for
which they have voted bonds, or to se-
lect some other site, which, while in
the opinion of the- members of this
board is not quite as desirable, at least
can be bought at a definite price and
work begun, very promptly.
I therefore beg to recommend that
the board of commissioners reconsider
its previous action in selecting as a site
for the city hall the property known
as the south half of block No. 381,
and that instead the city close, for the
purpose of the site for the municipal
building and city hall, on the entire
block of ground known as block No.
265, situated between 25th and 26th
streets, between Avenues H and I. This
property can be purchased from the Rt.
Rev. Bishop N. A. Gallagher for the
sum of $66,000, the seller to move all
improvements now on the property. The
location, while not as ideal as the one
first selected, is nevertheless well
suited for the purposes intended; is on
what is destined in a few years to be
one of the main thoroughfares of the
city of Galveston. It is but one block
removed from the interurban line, is on
the line of the 25th street car, being the
same car line which serves the Union
passenger depot and the federal post-
office, and this site has been the second
choice on the part of the board of com-
missioners. We will secure at less
money double the space we could ob-
tain at the other location, enabling us
to put the city hall and auditorium
within a small park; and last, but by
no means least, enabling us to secure a
site at a fixed price without long and
tedious and expensive litigation.
It is to be regretted that the city did
not encounter on the part of the own-
ers of the Winnie street property a
spirit of at least sufficient co-operation,
in the event that we could not agree
on a price, to leave the matter of value
to arbitration and give the city prompt
possession of the property.
Very respectfully submitted,
LEWIS FISHER, Mayor.

Among the large contracts, if not it-
self the largest, that ever has been

greater part of it is intended for the
animals with the Fifth brigade at Vera
Cruz.

The five graduate students of St.
Mary’s seminary at La Porte were or-
dained at St. Mary’s cathedral in Gal-
veston this morning, the services com-
mencing at 8 o’clock.
The order of priesthood was con-
ferred by the Right Rev. Bishop Galla-
gher, in which he was assisted by the
clergy of the seminary, of St. Mary’s
cathedral in Galveston and those of
Houston. The following assisted in the
ceremonies: The Very Rev. J. A. Rapp
and J. M. Kirwin of St. Mary’s semi-
nary, assistants; the Rev. Father M. S.
Chataignon of St. Mary’s cathedral,
master of ceremonies; Very Rev. Q. E.

ton; Rev D. F. Berberich, Frelsburg;

The services were beautiful and im-
pressive and were attended by a large
number of people. This is the largest
number of priests ever ordained at one
time in the Galveston diocese and par-
ticular interest was centered in the
ceremonies because of their hiving re-
ceived much of their education at St.
Mary’s seminary. The new priests have
already been assigned to duties, some
of them temporarily. These assign-
ments and the place where each will

Ammunition to Mexico,
According to official announcement
made locally, the schooner Sunshine
which sailed from Galveston last Sat-
urday, and which is reported from
Washington to have landed arms and
ammunition at Tampico, carried out of
Galveston a cargo of 366,666 rounds of
ammunition and 566 rifles. It is un-
derstood that the consignee and the
man who manipulated the deal with
the Sunshine is a former newspaper-
man who worked for several years
with the Hearst papers of New York,
When the Sunshine cleared at Gal-
veston, she attempted to clear for
Tampico, according to one source of
information, but the clearance was not
allowed, on account of the nature of
the cargo, and she cleared instead for
Cuban ports. It is not known here
whether she sailed for her state des-
tination and there reconsigned the
. goods to Tampico, or simply took the
matter in a broad hand and sailed for
Tampico direct. - On account of the
short" time between her sailing from
Catcher.
