Katy Puts on New Train While
G. H. & S. A. Discontinues
Four.
IS PUZZLE TO PATRONS
Committee to See President
Scott and Ask Better Ac-
commodations.
Almost coincident with the dis-
continuance of four passenger
trains a day on the G. H. i S. A. —
Southern Pacific—Railroad. the
Katy road will begin the operation
of an additional passenger train be-
tween San Antonio and Dallas and
Fort Worth. Tho reduction in serv-
ice on the Southern Pacific between
San Antonio and Houston and be-
tween San Antonio and Victoria will
become effective Sunday Octob< r
18 and the increase in Katy trains
will begin Saturday night October
17.
In one case the reason for reduc-
tion is given as "a constant decrease
in patronage due to present disturb-
ance in business and trade rela-
tions;” in the other heavy passenger
traffic is assigned as the cause for
the increase. Business men in San
Antonio are unable to reconcile the
two statements entirely.
The new Katy train known as
No. 108. will leave San Antonio at
8:40 p. m.. carrying sleepers for
Dallas Fort Worth and Denver. At
Hillsboro it will be split one section
going to Dallas and one to Fort
Worth. On the return trip the two
sections will leave Dallas and Fort
Worth at 10 p. m. and will bo
united at Hillsboro reaching this
city at 7:55 a. m.
Flyer in Two Sections.
Two or three weeks ago the
travel between San Antonio and
Fort Worth and Dallas became so j
heavy that it was necessary to run
the Katy Flyer in two sections ac-
cording to Walter Walthall district
passenger agent for the road. With
inauguration of the new service
that practice will be discontinued.
The Katy Flyer will leave at the
accustomed hour 10 p. m. and the
new train will precede it by an
hour and 30 minutes.
The trains scheduled for tem-
porarv discontinuance by the South-
ern Pacific beginning Sunday are
the daily locals to and from Vic-
toria and the locals between San
Antonio and Houston on the main
line. In comparing the actions of
the two roads business men realize
that allowance must be made for
the character of travel and other
conditions. The travel between San
Antonio and Dallas and Fort Worth
naturally is heavy. With the South-
ern Pacific much of the travel be-
tween San Antonio and Houston is
carried on through trains. At the
present time local travel from town
to town does not amount to much
on any of the roads.
Delegation to Sec Scott.
However a delegation of San An-
tonio business men is being organ-
ized to call on President Scott of
the Sunset-Central lines in Houston
and hear from him personally the
reason for the deep cut in service.
It also is the Intention to strive
to reach an agreement with him for
improvement of arrangements lor
San Antonio on through train serv-
ice. Under the schedule now in
force the Sunset I.imlted the heav.'
tourist train for the Pacific Coast
passes through this city a few min-
utes after 4 o'clock in the morning
and on the return trip reaches this
point at the same hour.
Under such conditions business
men say westward-bound travelers
cannot be. expected to stop off in
San Antonio. To do so thev would
have to arise at 4 o’clock. The
same disadvantage obtains for a
person traveling eastward or. that
train. The committee will ask Mr
Scott to put on special San Antonio
sleepers that will be dropped ..hen
the trains reach here allowing pas-
sengers to sleep until later in the
morning. A request also will be
made that sleepers bo kept here fo"?
travelers to board here at night
these to be picked up when the
trains come through early in the
morning.

AVOID SUBSTITUTES
“BUY-A-BALE" FUND
IS ABOUT EXHAUSTED
Many Requests For Aid Can-
not Be Complied With
Here.
The "buy-a-bale” fund of the ■
Chamber of Commerce practically
is exhausted. Many requests for ■
assistance are being received which
j the organization cannot grant be-
; cause of lack of resources. Since
I the cotton crisis developed the
Chamber of Commerce has pur-
chased hundreds of bales with
money supplied by firms and indi-
viduals who subscribed to the
movement. Demands have run far
ahead of subscriptions ever since
the plan was inaugurated and now
the flow of cash almost has
stopped.
An aged negro woman was
turned away Thursday morning be-
cause funds for the purchase of
• cotton were not available. While
the family’s crop was being made
her husband died and later a son
succumbed to illness. She wanted
to sell a bale to pay for the coffins
•in which they had been buried.
The coffins had been brought on
• credit.
i Many such pitiful tales have been
brought into the Chamber of Com-
merce since the organization under-
took to act as purchasing agent for
subscribers to the "buy-a-bale”
nd. Always the most needy per-
sons have been given assistance but
money does not last forever and
i there have been many deserving
• cases.
Among the last subscriptions 10
the fund was one received frem the
Hotel Sherman Company of Chlca-
go for a bale. Altogether the hotel
management has purchased twenty
bales ip various parts of the south.

NOBODY GOT AWAY
The young doctor with downtown
'patients raj s the New York Tinies
rad a fair practice and the old doc-
tor had i good one but as neither
needed a downtown office all the
time the father suggested that they
should pool issues and rent .one be-
tween them. The young man agreed
—it was a good thing for him. he
thought—and hurried off to have a
suitable sign painted. When deliv-
cred it read iike this:
Dr. T. S. White.
office hours 10 A. M. to 1 P. M.
Dr. N. White.
office hours 1 P. M. u- 4 P. M.
The old man looked it over and
shook his bead.
"It won’t do. my hoy. ' he said.
• You haven’t that business instinct
that -has made your old daddy so
successful. You may be a good doc-
tor but when it oomes to signs
keep your eye on the old man."
Thep he put this sign under his
arm and walked out. An hour later
iie came back with this:
Dr. White.
Office hours.
10 A. M. to 4 P. M.
"There you are'' he said proudly.
"Now catch y. »ur patients or mine
no matter what hour they come. No
use putting a sign up that will steer
the patients of either of us away
when the Dther is sitting inside wait-
ing to tinker them up. Medicine is
one thing my boy and business is
another. This is business."
Then the old man tacked the sign
up on the door and caught one of the
oung yman’s patients first thing.

about your election. Do you think that’s
a proper way to be of service to the peo-
ple ?"
•’Why not? Can you think of any way
