German Importing Company Organized
at Bremen.
By Associated Press.
London, Aug. 28.—A cotton importing
company with a capital of $1,000,000
has ben founded in Bremen, according
to Tuesday’s issue of the Frankfurter
Zeitung.
The business of this new company,
it is stated, will be to obtain orders
from German and Austrian spinners so
as to make offers to American export-
ers. The paper says that the capital
for the new company is being gathered
by the Disconto Gesellscheft and other
leading banks.

Rex Laundry Plant in Good Condition.
Water Scarce.
With a limitted supply of water, the
Rex laundry resumed operation at their
plant, 1901 Mechanic street yesterday
at 1:30 o’clock. Two construction men,
one a laundry plant expert, the other
an electrical engineer from Cincinnatti
have been in town for the past week,
overhauling all the electrical and laun-
dry equipment and now pronounce it as

While work on the temporary trestle
across the causeway is being rushed as
rapidly as possible, with the probability
of train service into and out of Gal-
veston being restored by the latter part
of next week at the least, other facili-
ties for traveling into and out of this
city continue to be improved. District
Passenger Agent, J. H. Miller of the
Southern Pacific today announced that
arrangements, had been perfected by
the Southern Pacific to operate its own
strains between Texas City and Hous-
ton. This makes, with the Santa Ee
and G., H. and H.( three roads now
having service between those two
points, handling passenger business in
connection with boat service between
Galveston and Texas City.
The Southern Paciifc announces the
following schedule: Arrive Texas City,
12 o’clock (noon); leave Texas iCty, 6
p. m., arriving Houston at the Grand
Central station and making all connec-
tions, east and west.
Effective at once, the I. and G. N.
announced today that it had, in keep-
ing with the action of other lines, ar-
ranged to handle passenger business
to all state and interstate points be-
yond. Houston at the regular fares ap-
plicable from Galveston. On account
of the Galveston-Texas City boat fare
and the cost entailed in making trans-
fers between here and Houston, the
cost of transportation from Galveston
to Houston it a little higher than nor-
mal.
Through the cooperation of the Bail-
ey line between here and Texas City,
the railroads are able now to handle
baggage with considerable facility and
the baggage congestion, which followed
the suspension of rail service, is about
relieved.
On Red Cross Day Program at San
Francisco.
By Associated Press.
San Francisco, Aug. 28.—Former
President William Howard Taft, who
four years ago turned the first spadeful
of earth making the beginning of the
Panama-Pacific exposition, was today
the principal speaker on the Red Cross
day program at the exposition and was,
for the first time, to view the finished
work that he began.
The army pitched in to help Galves-
ton clean up today, 24 wagons and
drivers being given to the gigantia
task of freeing the city streets and
alleys of the dangerous accumulations
of rubbish. Thirty-eight men in the
employ of the city went with the wag-
ons.
The work was carefully planned, and
if the program is not interrupted
nightfall will see the city rid of a
large part of the debris. The start
was delayed, although not seriously set
back, by a misunderstanding as to the
starting point of the operations. Once
under way it was carried on with the
vigor that urgent necessity imparted.
The army wagons and drivers were
under the supervision of a mounted
officer, who was attended by orderlies.
In all parts of the city the effect of
the women’s energetic work was dis-
cernable, and few householders were
found who had failed to respond to the
call of the W. H. P. A. club women,
city officials and business men.
The distribution of disinfectants was
in progress today. Dr. Walter Kle-
berg, the city health officer, stated
that the proportions of the solution,
which is poison, would be a gallon of
water to two tablespoons of the liquid.
Lime also is being distributed, and
there is every indication that the city
will soon be freed of the menace of an
epidemic.
The youngsters, called the “Galvie
Stone Guards,” were doing fine work in
the campaign, and a “detail” of boys
under Ellis Devine, a newsboy, helped
the movement along by distributing the
6,000 posters carrying the cleanup
proclamation and necessary informa-
tion.
Persons applying to the district
chairmen for disinfactant, which is
furnished without charge, are warned,
to supply themselves with bottles. The
disinfectant and lime may be obtained
from the following:

Let Your
Galveston Brewing Co
MeFarland-Gibbons Contract Largest
Yet.
By Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 28.—New heights in
ring finance were reached in the sign-
ing of Packey McFarland and Mika
Gibbons to box in this city three weeks
from today. These two glove artists
agreed to box ten rounds without de-
cision for a purse of $32,500, of which
McFarland is to reecive $17,500 and
Gibbons $15,000. No title will be in-
volved and even though a knockout
occur the result will be without cham-
flionship value.
Under the circumstances the paying
of $583 per minute to McFarland and
$500 per minute to Gibbons establishes
what is undoubtedly a new record in
limited round pugilism. Owing to the
boxing skill and reputation of these
modern rink generals the gate re-
ceipts are quite likely to exceed by
several thousand dollars the purse and
other incidental expenses, but there is
nothing in local pugilistic history to
warrant the idea that the receipts will
approach the figures reached in famous
battles of the past.
The largest gate receipts ever re-
corded at a bout in New York were
$66,300, taken in at the Jeffries-Shar-
key 25-round battle, fuoght at Coney
Island, Nov. 3, 1899. The fight be-
tween Jim Corbett and Kid McCoy,
during the closing days of the Horton
law, under which some of the greatest
bouts of modern ring history were
fought, netted $56,350 at the gate.
Championship fights in Nevada, Aus-
tralia and several other points have
drawn larger gates, but many famous
fighters including Nelson, Gans, Britt,
McGovern, Fitzsimmons, Ketchel, Jef-
fries and Corbett risked, and in some
cases lost, their titles before fistic
gatherings the receipts from which did
not equal the sum set aside for Gib-
bons and McFarland.

O. K. Laundry Will Be Made Better
Than Ever.
The O. K. Laundry, which was burned
to the ground on the night of the re-
cent storm will be rebuilt in better
style than ever, before long, says
George Taylor. For the time being, due
to the courtesy of Mr. Johnson or
the Model laundry, all the regular cus-
homers of the O. K. laundry will have
their laundry work done at the Model
laundry.
Regular O. K. laundry wagons will
call for and deliver the work as here-
tofore and all work will be handled,
so far as the customers are concerned,
just as if the O. K. had its own plant
again. The present arrangement be-
tween the Model and O. K. laundries
will not interfere with both turning out
the usual high-class laundry work; the
Model operating the plant by day ana
the O. K. by night.
