GOOD ROADS PRO£CT
Members of Bexar County Highway
League Will Attend Meeting at
■ Sutherland Springs.
Between twenty and thirty mem-
bers of the Bexar County Highway
league will leave San Antonio at 4
o'clock this afternoon to attend a
meeting in Sutherland Springs tonight
which is expected to clinch the build-
ing of an improved highway from this
city to Port O'Connor. The trip will be
made by automobile the cars starting
from Alamo plaza and returning to-
night.
D. E. Colp secretary of the league
stated this morning the road to Suth-
erland Springs was in fairly good
shape and that no difficulty would
be encountered in making the trip.
A portion of the road is macadamized
and the remainder of the distance is
through sand which is packed and not
muddy.
There will be delegations from
many towns in Southwest Texas at
the rally. It is thought decision will
be reached to vote improvement bonds
in Sutherland Springs and Stockdale
precincts to be expended In construct-
ing a road which will form a link in
the highway to the coast.

thoven Hall.
Members of all German societies of

numbers being in the tongue of tho
fatherland. Participating in the af-
fair were the nine large German or-
ganizations of this city the Casino
Turn Verein Llederkranz German
Maennerchor Siemerlng and Anton
Wenzel lodges Beethoven Maenner-
chor.and the Harmonia and the Fro-
shinn.
Conrad Nies eminent German poet

lows: s

ICE WAR ON;
IS CENTS PEA
IBQISOUOTEO
Manufacturers Cut Prices to
Stimulate Demand and
Equal Last Year’s Sales.
MAY LAST ALL SUMMER
Managers Say ( Old Prices May
Return—Citizens Company's
Drivers Quit
A full-fledged Ice war Is on In San
Antonio. According to last accounts
the lowest price reached by any of
the combatants was 16 cents a hun-
dredweight Just what the rock-bot-
tom price will be within a few days
none of the managers of the various
plants would predict but they as-
serted there likely would be no quar-
ter given or taken.
Following a reduction in price by
other ice factories during the past few
days the Merchants' Ice and Cold
Storage company this morning placed
the following sign in a conspicuous
position on its platform:
“One hundred pounds. 15 cents; 50
pounds 10 cents; 25 pounds 5 cents.
Don't fail to ask for cold-weather
checks."
Would Increase Demand.
The fight seems to have been caus-
ed by no other reason than that of a
desire on the part of the various com-
panies to make thia season's sales
come up to last season's. On account
of the prolonged cold weather the
demand had suffered a material de-
crease. Last summer when the de-
mand was perhaps stronger than aver
before in the history of the city an
Ice famine was threatened. Then the
plants increased their capacity. Con-
sequently there has been over-produc-
tion during the cold weather.
May Restore Old IVlccs.
Each company is watching the ad-
vertisements of the others waiting to
make the next move. One manager
this morning asserted that it is prob-
able the sharp competition will lead
to ridiculously low prices although
much loss will be experienced. On the
other hand he said after a few skir-
mishes the ice factories soon may re-
store old prices.
One Company Has Strike.
The Citizens' Ice company had no
drivers or helpers for Its delivery
wagons this morning. Following the
failure of the company to agree to
the terms of a contract submitted by
them the drivers numbering about
30 failed to return to work. Accord-
ing to Thomas L. Conroy president
of the company many of the men
called him at midnight on the tele-
phone and notified him they had quit.
The rivers had objected to doing ex-
tra work said Mr. Conroy but the
company had insisted that extra work
be done.

AM CONVENTION
Preparations to Go to Annual Meeting
in Dallas May « Are Made by
Sun Antonians.
Preparations for attending the an-
nual convention of the Texas Retail
Merchants' association annual con-
vention. which will open in Dallas
May 6 for a four days' session wjll be
made tonight by the members of tho
San Antonio association. Ten dele-
gates to the convention are to be
chosen at a meeting tonight an<?
many local merchants will go to Dal-
las on their own account to attend
the deliberations of the commercial
body. The San Antonians will make
the trip in a special car.
At the meeting tonight puch im-
portant business in addition to the
selection of the delegates will be
transacted. Among the questions to be
considered arc the billboard ordi-
nance. now up before the city coun-
cil. and the matters of "fake" adver-
tising and premium schemes. The
members of the Retail Merchants' as-
sociation are not in favor of abolish-
ing billboards altogether. They believe
those in the business and residence
districts should be taken down buj
those those along the roads In the out-
skirts should remain as they arc very
valuable to the merchants.
For some time the association has
waged war on fake advertisers. Now it
Is proposed that the ban be placed on
all premium schemes. In the end it
is stated the consumer has to pay the
extra cost entailed by such systems
of advertising. Oftentimes it is stated
merchants are forced to give pre-
miums just because "the other fellow”
does.
