moves Last Barrier to

in order that tho Insanity Issue
raised in the case could be disposed
of this has been done and Myers
was declared sane and the higher
court now directs that the sheriff
of Tarrant county proceed with the
execution. This means that the

ALL NATIONS WILL
RECOGNIZE CARRANZA
(Continued From Page one.)
any religion in Mexico will be per-
mitted to return to Mexico and will
be secure in life and property if
1 | they have not^and will not partici-
pate In politics.
8. That general amnesty will be
• granted to Mexicans although it Is
I not expected that amnesty must be
I granted to certain leaders of the
I opposition to the Constitutionalists
cause.
4. That the de facto government
will take the necessary steps to re-
store law and order in the country
to 'provide general elections for the
choice of officers of the government
and that there will be a restoration
■of the constitutional order in Mex-
ico.
In issuing the formal announce-
; ment Secretary Lansing supple-
! mented it with a verbal statement
that in connection with the other
guarantees given by the Carranzlsta
leaders he had been informally as-
sured "that any person connected
with religion can go back into Mex-
ico and will be secure in both life I
and property if they have not or j
will not participate in polities."
Villa and Huerta Out.
It is not expected t^at the Car-
ranzistas in guaranteeing that they
will grant general amnesty to polit-
ical opponents in and out of Mexico
that such amnesty will be granted to
General Villa or to General Victo-
riano Huerta.
Carranza has skillfully navigated
his craft through troublesome waters
ever since he began his revolution
against Huerta.
He has been playing for one niing
(only throughout the entire period —
j military success and as an impor-
’ tant Incident In connection with
| the recognition of his government
by the United States. He refused
to send agents to the Niagara Falls
I peace conference a year and a halt
| ago. He has stood aloof from any
suggestion of an arrangement with
| Huerta or Villa or Zapata. He has
j been fighting a lone hand. The re-
suits speak for the expediency and
advisability of that ploicy.
Europe Will Join.
It is fully believed in Washington
that the European governments will
follow the lead of the United States.
The British government will de- j
.pend upon the United States to see:
I that it receives justice and therefore |
probably will not withhold recog-
nition. France and Russia will act J
identically with Great Britain.
The nations represented at the
■conference today were the United
States. Argentina. Brazil Chile 80-i
' livia Urguay and Guatemala. Sec-
| retary Lansing admitted that the 1
governments of the Latin-American
I countries not represented in the con-I
• ference had been sounded and that;
they had approved the action of;
! the conferees. ।
' It is understood that Secretary
Lansing favors the early recognition I
of Carranza and it is believed at the
State Department that the step;
will be taken some time next week.
The South and Central American '
-.epublics will follow the lead of ।
the United States.
Recognition may be made by no-
tice to Carranza's government In'
Mexico or through his agency in
this city. The state department
has not yet decided which course it
will follow. The appointment of an
ambassador will necessarily follow
and as soon as this government
sends its accredited diplomatic rep-
resentative. the long standing va-
aancy at Washington will be filled
the understanding being that for at
a time at least. Eliseo Arredondo
Carranza's confidential agent here
will act as ambassador to the United
States.
Claims Not Discussed.
It was announced that the status
of foreign claims was not discussed
at the conference It being obvious
that a stable and recognized govern-
ment would be responsible for these
obligations.
It also was said that fhe question
o. an embargo against the sale of
arms to Villa or any other taction
was not taken up. This was not al
matter for the conference accord-
ing to an Official statement. It was
stated that after the Unted States
I has recognized Carranza it would
not be an act of friendship to per-
mit American citizens to sell mu-
। nitions of war to the opponents of
la friendly government.
। It will be the policy of the United
| States it was emphasized to give
1 material and moral support to the
ii'urranza government in the expecta-
Ition that it will speedily restore or-
)der. This support will take the form
of the suppression of the sale of all
arms and the negotiation of loans
the pew government with Ameri-
can financiers.
It was stated officially that none
of th European governments whose
i subjects have large property and in-
vestments in .uexlco wa a consulted
about today s action.
It Is known however that the
| British French and Spanish ambas-
। sadors have discussed the question I
informally with Secretary Lansing!
land have indicated fhat their gov-j
i-rnmentg were ready to follow ...e |
lead of the United States.

FJIR FOB 1010
San Antonio Business Men to
Discuss Plan at Lunch-
eon Wednesday.
TO BE ANNUAL EVENT
First Fair Would Commemo-
rate Building of the
Alamo.
! A movement to make San Antonio
the home of a great fair of interna-
tional scope to be held annually m
January is to be launched at a
luncheon to be held next Wednesday
at the Gunter hotel. This luncheon
Is to be attended by 300 of the lead-
ing business and professional men
of the city and the plan will be out-
lined to them. If the project meets
with their approval it is proposed
then to call another meeting pos
' sibly for 30 days later to Which all
the cities and towns of Southwest
Texas will be asked to send repre-
sentatives.
This Is in no sense a revival or re-
organization of the old International
Fair but an entirely new proposition
more ambitious than anything of its
kind ever before attempted by San
Antonio and in which not only the
state of Texas but the federal gov-
ernment and the governments of
Mexico. Central and South America
and Cuba will be Invited to partici
pate. It is proposed to make it per-
manent In character and as time will
be required to organize such an un-
dertaking It Is suggested that the
date for the first of these fairs be
! set for January. 1918. .
Commemorate Alamo’s Founding.
In that connection it is pointed out
that this will be the two-hundred tli
anniversary of the founding of the
Alamo and this In effect was the
founding of San Antonio. White men
had visited the present site of Sar. |
Antonio prior to 1718 and there was;
something of a settlement here then i
but it was located near the head of j
the San Pedro creek. In 1718 tho
Alamo mission was started and the ;
colony then was moved to what is
now the downtown section of San
Antonio. It is urged that the found-
ing of the oldest city in the great
southwest constitutes a date In his-
tory entirely worthy and fitting to
be commemorated bj- such a fair as
is proposed
Representatives of all the civic
organizations will be Invited to Join
in the undertaking. Thus far noth-
ing has been done further than to
draw up a card of invitation to the
luncheon Wednesday copies of
which will be sent out today. It will
devolve upon those who attend the
luncheon to select their own chair- i
man. discuss the proposal and out-
line the plan for further procedure.
Mexico to Participate.
It is recognized that if this fair is
to be the success hoped for it mud
be of a scope vast enough to attract
attention throughout both the United
States and Mexico. San Antonio is
recognized as the logical gateway for
the trade be.tween this country and
Mexico and with the restoration of
peace In the latter country this city
will again come into its own. In its
present disrupted condition how-
ever it is hardly probable that
Mexico could now make a showing
creditable to itself and that Is an ■
other reason why the suggestion to
postpone the date of the fair until
1918 is viewed with favor by those
who have given the matter consider-
ation.
But aside from this International
feature it is urged that Southwest
Texas itself Is deserving of more at-
tention from the nation at large. Tito
semi-tropical climate coupled with
soil of exceptional fertility offer op-
portunities for great development j
and these things are to be featured
in the proposed fair. To that end it
is proposed to Invite the co-operation
of other cities such as Austin. Cor-
pus Christi Laredo. Uvalde Taylor
Aransas Pass and others. Thus while
the fair will be held in San Antonio
it will be so organized as to prove
beneficial to other communities in
this section.
Two Years to Work In.
It is recognized that an undertak-
ing of this magnitude will require not
only ample time to carry through to
success but the utmost care in plan-
ning and working out the details. It
is probable that tho formal launching
of the enterprise will not occur until
! January of next year and this will be
contingent upon the reception which
I is accorded the proposal at the
। luncheon Wednesday and the subse-
I quent meeting. This then will give :
I two years In which to raise the ne-
; cessary funds and thoroughly organ-
ize collect exhibits and properly dis-
play them besides afford time for.
the Widest publicity.
In the meanw'hile. it Is contemplat-I
1 ed that the plans for general civic |
improvement now going forward un-
der the bond issue will be continued. I
Many more streets will then have
TUT SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
been Improved and scenic driveways
will be constructed to poftits of In-
terest throughout this entire section.
San Antonio will be In a better posi-
tion to make its bid for winter tour-
ists and with a big international fair
to be held in January of each year
it is anticipated it will achieve in-
stant and lasting popularity.
SIXTY THOUSAND IN
CHICAGO DRY’ PARADE
Quarter of a Million Specta-
tors See Them on Michi-
gan Avenue.
CHICAGO Oct. 9.- —Sixty thousand
men women and children marched
down Michigan avenue this after-
noon from Eighteenth street to
Washington west on Washington to
State and then south to Jackson
boulevard In the United "Dry"
demonstration.
Quarter of a million spectators
were along the line of march. Every
saloon held window advertisements
of "special" free lunch and choice
menu cards of a thoroughly "wet”
nature.
Business Agent Milke Galvin of
local No. 507. Teamsters' Union said
the union could not let its drivers
handle horses In a parade where all
the drivers were not union men. A
"strike" was called that took over
fifty drivers from the floats and
trucks they had been hired to pilot.
They took their horses with them
but the paraders pulled many of the
floats over the route by hand.
The saloons on South Clark street
furnished one of the floats. Two
dozen "horrible examples of what
rum will do” were loaded Into .one
btg truck and sent along the line of
march labeled: "The finished prod-
uct.”
Arthur Burrage Farwell of the
Chicago Law and Order League led
a delegation of two dozen. Six men
acting as "legs" carried a 30-foot Im-
personation of the demon rum. "The
demon" bore the legend “My Chil-
dren Follow.” Then came a half
dozen grotesque figures labelled
"Murder" "Robbery.” “Vice” "Dis-
order.” "Insanity” "Gambling”
"Good Example” and "Good Influ-
ence."
