automobile occupied by Joe Dwyer as-
sistant fire chief and hurled it from

WILL CONTINUE WARM
Long-delayed Winter Weather Is Fur-
ther Deferred.
Winter weather long-delayed in the
Southwest is deferred another 24 hours
at least according to Wednesday's fore-
cast issued by Observer J. H. Jarboe
covering Wednesday night and Thurs-
day. Wednesday night will be clear and
warmer and Thursday will be warmer
yet. with increasing cloudiness. Tbe
mercury is not epectcd to slip down
past the 5'J mark at the lowest. Winds
will be moderate nnd southerly.
An average sort of a low pressure
area covering the Northwest ami an-
other one which Mr. Jarboe now doesn't
believe will amount to much off the
Lower California coast will dominate
local weather conditions. There is raiu
in the northwestern “low” and rivers in
Washington and Oregon are out of
their banks but no rain is looked for
here.
Except for a comparatively small
area of high barometer which over-
spread Texas early Wednesday the
whole country is under the influence
of “lows.” One located in the cast
caused light rains nnd brisk winds from
Hatteras to New Y’ork.
The coldest place in the country was
Chicago with 12 degrees above zero at
7 o'clock.
Tuesday was another unusually warm
day th rough the southwestern states.
The weather bureau thermometer hyrc
want up to 72. San Diego with 85
degrees. Phoenix. Ariz. with 84 and
other cities between here and the coast
had the wannest January temperature
recorded in their history.

urday Run.

St. Onge Who Will Lead
Parade Says Old Popu-
larity Returning.
Got a bike?
Well get it out and oil it. up.
You'll wont it on Saturdiy afternoon
when the “Sociability" ride end dcc<.r->t-
ed wheel parade takes place under the
auspices of the local bicycle dealers
and the San Antonio Light.
The affair will start from Travis
Park. Pecan street side at 2 o’clock
giving the boys and girls (and grown-
ups. too! a ehance to fiv up their bikes
in the morning and be prepared for the
occasion in the afternoon.
Fred St. Onge as already announced
will be 'n full charge of "u ride and
lead the parade on his old time high
wheel the kind “dad” used when the
bicycle was the king of the road. St.
Onge is well-known from co Ist to evast
as a rider.
Bicycles Coming Back.
“The main object of the aociabil.ty
runs." Jit. Onge said in di interview
with a i< porter of The Lig.lt ' M to
increase interest in bicycle riding. Since
the iidveut of the automobile the Hex'd
old two wheeler loti a givu- deal of its
popularity through being ciowdod eff
the roads. There arc more bicycles in
use today however than is the sense '
of thsujin of the average adult a’vl it 1
is predicted that bicycles will be as 1
plentiful within the next few years as 1
they were during the so-ealhd 'craze nt
25 years ago.
“In mv travels nronnd the country.”
St- Onga added “I am happy to ray
that more persons are rid'iig bicycles
than is believed. While it is true Hint
boys predominate it is amnzing to rec
the nunibei of workmen mounted on
wheels going to ami coming from the
factories and shops in practically tvcry
city I have visited. Realizing the im-
portance of having employes ride bi-
cycles tn work many big inddstrin! .
plants particularly those in the Hint
nisi Southwest hnvc erected sheldo.l
wheel racks for the convcni"ncc of the
men and to safeguard the bicycles dur-
ing the tune the riders are at work.”
Benefits School Children.
When asked if many sch >ol children
had a l«»ni*g toward riding bicycles to
school St. Onge replied:
“Schoo! children find a g.-.at deal of
pleasure in riding bicycles to ecnool
for it enables them to gain a groat oeal
of healthful exercise brings them to
school on time nnd permits those who
live too tar away to walk to go hone
for a hot lunch instead of eating ihe
coH food carried by the average young-
ster."
No sonrer had St. Onge arrived from
Galveston where he is si d to have
completed a successful ran then he
started in to arrange with the local bi-
cycle dealers and The Light to help
him carry out his program here. The
entertainment carded for this city will
be on an elaborate scale and some sur-
prises are in store for the riders and
spectators
In ri-ilng about the city today bis
old high-wheel attracted no end of at-
tention. It reniindel the eld timers of
the happy days when they used to tide
their “high boys” to business and go
on long hikes on a Sunday over the
rough gravel roads.
Open to Everybody
The ride Saturday is open to all
sexes am ages. The dista'i'e will not
be great and the pace so slow that the
youngest rider will be able to keep up
with the leaders. Attractive souvenirs
will be distributed to all who partici-
pate.
There are no strings attached to the
invitation Nothing will be sold. Every-
thing is free. It is simply a ride for
health and pleasure and everybody with

ers with decorated wheels neat npixar-
ing girl riders oldest rideri young"M

ets with comic make-ups. The Light

Judge Tayloe in the Forty-fifth District
Court .after which the defendant was
remanded to jail there to be kept until
the day of execution.
Standing before the bar Stephens
was addreaeed by the court.
“Have you any objections to why
sentence should not be passed upon
you?”
Stephens looked nt the court and
said. “Well all I can nay judge is
that I have objections to a San Antonio
jury convicting n man. as n homeowner
and taxpayer with five children nnd n
wife in the asylum for trying to pro-
tect his life.”
“That is something over which the
court lias no control" replied the court.
Have You Seen “Snapshot Sam”?
He has been on the job for the past few days and has a num-
ber of pictures that will be printed in a day or two. Tickets to
the automobile races cash prizes nnd tickets to the Majestic
theater have been awarded and there is more fun in store for

and get a ticket to the automobile races. Monday ten persons
were paged and told to come to the office of The Light and get
x surprise gift from “Snapshot Sam.” Today the management

that bis only opportunity to escape must
come-from the governor of Texas.'
Sister Kisses Stephens.
“My God have inorcy on your soul”
the judge told the condemned man as
be formally' passed sentence.
Stephen's sister standing nearby rm-
braced him and timed him. A spectator
tool: Stephens' hand for a moment.
Then F. N. Fiores deputy sheriff
took the prisoner bnck to the county
jail.
Sentence wns pronounced by Judge
Tayloe in the presence of only a hand-
ful of siiectators. Judge Tayloe had kept
the hour of sentence secret to prevent
the court room from being filled with
tbe morbidly curious. It was tbe sec-
ond death sentence pronounced by Judge
Tayloe since his court was given crimi-
nal jurisdiction.
Shortly before 12:30. the defendant
was quietly escorted into the court

By the Aaeoclntnl Pres*.
Coblenz Jan. 10.—Tbe orders for
the withdrawal of the American troops
from the Rhine the news of which bc-
ennio known through a dispatch from
The Associated Press office nt Paris
caused much excitement as it spread
among the men of tbe American army
hero. The rnnk and file appeared to
feel particularly glum over the an-
nouncement for the French troop trains
have been rolling through the last few
days and are still continuing to pass
making the men long for a little action
for themselves.
Washington. I). C. Jan. 10.—with-
drawal of the American troops from
the Rhine was ordered today by Presi-
dent Harding.
In announcing the decision the State
Department said that the President
deemed the time expedient for the re-
call of tbe forces now at Coblenz.
The American forces remaining in
that area number about 1000 men aud
it was indicated that the withdrawal
order would be carried out ns soon as
the American commander. Major Gen-
eral Allen could make the necessary
arrangements for winding up the af-
fairs of the army of occupation. '
A resolution favoring such a with-
drawal was adopted Saturday by the
Senate but it was not apparent today
how far it had contributed to the Presi-
dent's decision nor how far the ndmin-
istration had been influenced by the
situation brought about by the French
movement into the Ruhr valley.
The date of actual withdrawal of
the forces will be left to the War De-
partment.
Officials of ihe State nnd War de-
partments refused flatly to make any
explanation of the decision to recall
Major General Alien and his forces
other than to repeat that it was con-
sidered expedient to complet at this
time American withdrawal from Eu-
rope.
Secretary Weeks was called to the
White House early today and the pur-
pose of the governemnt to withdraw
the troops was disclosed oefore his re-
turn to the War Department.
As an indication that no time woula
be lost it was made known that tbe
transport St. Mihiel would leave New
York today or tomorrow to bring home
the bulk of the Rhine forces. A few
small detachments will be left for a
short time to close out final settle-
ment involved in tbe withdrawal.
Decision Was Unexpected.
The troops probably will return via
Bremen which has been the American
supply base for the Coblenz forces.
The detachment consists of 850 men
of the Eighth Infantry and various
headquarters and supply troeps and de-
tachments necessary to complete n gar-
rison organization. Tbe St. Mihiel is
large enough to carry the entire com-
mand and its equipment.
The decision o bring General Allen
and his command back to the United
States was unexpected. Officials both
at the State and War departments
had indicated previously that the re-
cent developments in connection with
the reparations tangle would not affect
the status of the troops on the Rhine.
The American torces comprise 107
officers nnd 1080 men it was stated
in a Coblenz dispatch to the Associated
Press on January 7. The forces are
made of 41 officers and 850 men of
the Eighth Infantry am. in addition
quartermasters signal and hospital
corps and engineers and motor repair
units.

ELEPHANTS IN AFRICA
Counter Charges Filed

er in Divorce Sait.
Chicago 111.. Jan. 10.—A contest in
the divorce sought by Carl E. Akely
African big ganle hunter was indicated
today. He charged his wife with deser-
tion.
Denial of the charges was made yes-
terday in n cross bill filed by Mrs.
Akely in which she said Akely deserted
her when he left on his latest trip to

FIVE MINERS MEET
. DEATH INSTANTLY
IN GAS EXPLOSION
Said to Have Ignored Warn-
ing Not to Enter
Mine.
Birmingham. Ala. Jan. 10.—Entering
tbe pit in the face of a warning that
it was dangerous five miners met death
in Dolomite mine No. 1 of the Wood-
ward Iron Company near here early
this morning in a gas explosion. The
men were killed outright according to
reports to newspapers.
Four of the miners were negroes and
the fifth. W. E. Lewis 53 white.
Dolomite No. 1 is about two miles
from Dolomite No. 3 where 90 miners
were killed last November in a dust
explosion and is part of the same seam
of coal worked by the Woodward com-
pany.
The blast was confined to one “room”
in tbe mine. All that preveated greater
loss of life was the fact that few men
were in the pit nt the hour it was
stated in early reports.
Gas had been discovered in the mine
and warning posted in advance for men
not to enter. The five victims are said
to have ignored this official warning.
LOOT IN CEMETERY
Tools and Stolen Watches Found in
Hariandalc Burial Ground.
City detectives picked up a slight trail
in their search for burglars who staged
half*a dozea jobs Monday night and
early Tuesday morning when they
found a kit of tools and some of the
stolen loot Wednesday ia tbe Harlan-
dale cemetery.
Because of the fact automobile cas-
ings were stolen at the majority of rot
bcrics staged during the night officers
are inclined to believe n gang was re-
sponsible for several of them. The
tools found hidden in a. secluded spot in
the grave yard are said to have been
those stolen from McCabe's blacksmith
shop on South Flores street. It was
with these iletectives believe burglars
broke into the Toudouze store at tbe
junction of tbe Pleasanton and Corpus
Christi roads the same night. A num-
ber of the watches nnd other loot stolen
from the Toudouze store was also found
in the cemetery.
No trace of the many casings stolen
from n number of garages during the
night has been found.
The activity of thieves Tnesdny night
were minor in character. The heaviest
loss sustained was that by I*. A. Mellon
cani]>cd in Brackenridire Park. He re-
ported the theft of SHX) di.-imond ring.
T. B. Crossline of Bay City re|»rted
the theft of an overcoat from his auto-
mobile parked y Travis Park Tuesday
afternoon. A suit case containing cloth-
ing and a flash light was stolen from
nn automobile owned by Mack Wil-
liams of Mason Texas parked on
Alamo plaza.
