SLMDEN PUNS
OPPOSITION TO
THE PRESIDENT
Unless Additional Pressure
Brought to Bear He Will
Fight Conscription.
HEARS OF MASS MEETING
Reads Newspaper Accounts
Carefully But Expects to
Vote Against Bill.
WASHINGTON D. C. April 25.—
Unless additional pressure is
brought to bear from San Antonio
James L. Slayden will be found vot-
ing with a minority of the Texas
delegation with a minority of the
membership of the House of Repre-
sentatives and against the advice of
the War Department and the ex-
pressed will of the people of San
Antonio and other citizens through-
out his district on the conscription
issue.
Under pressure from the White
House and from the people "back
home" a majority of members of
Congress are burying their preju-
dice against conscription and are
"listening to reason.”
People Favor Conscription.
The advocates on the volunteer
system who were in an overwhelm-
ing majority when the draft was
proposed are rapidly falling into
line. From throughout the United
States the people are speaking and
they are telling their congressmen
to vote for conscription.
Texas is no exception and the Tex-
as conressmen who cried out the
loudest in the cloak rooms against
what they thought would be an out-
rage on American manhood are no
longer so vociferous. They are find-
ing excuses to explain their changed
attitude.
The converts are not speaking for
publication but it has become known
that the Texans are getting aboard
the band wagon and a majority will
be found voting for the Kahn min-
ority bill which represents the ad-
ministration view and against the
Dent bill which retains the volun-
teer system.
Four Texans Oppose Bill.
But four Texans a careful in-
quiry shows will vote against the
measure. They are Representatives.
at-Large Garrett and McLemore
Slayden of San Antonio and Rayburn
of Bonham.
Slayden today read closely news-
paper accounts of the patriotic mass
meeting in San Antonio Saturday
night and they furnished him food
for serious reflection. Additional
pressure will be needed however or
the roll call will record him—as in
the past—voting against the Presi-
dent and the expressed wishes of his
neighbors.
Representative Kahn of Califor-
nia in charge of the administration
bill was flooded this afternoon with
requests from Texans desiring to
speak. Those who got in line and
sought him were Congressman Wil-
son of Fort Worth and Black of
Clarksville while Representatives
Eagle Gregg. Jones and Connally
who had previously announced for
the bill appealed for permission to
speak.
Says Bills Much Alike.
Representative at Large Garrett
speaking today in opposition to the
draft bill and in support of the vol-
unteer measure which he helped to
prepare endeavored to show that
there is but little difference be-
tween the two bills. Garrett resent-

It is a positive fact that the moment
Resinol touches any itching skin the
itching usually stops and healing begins.
Unless the trouble is due to some serious
internal condition it quickly clears away

ed intimations that he Is not stand-
ing by the President
"Without hesitation or halting 1
have walked by his side all of the
way holding up his stands at every
turn of the road." he said.
"1 am standing by him just as
steadfastly now. Because I do not
agree with every provision of the
War Department bill It should not
be construed by friends as an
act of infidelity either to the Presi-
dent or my country. I have tried to
do my duty as I have been given
wisdom to see it and I shall stand
ready to be judged by my people
for my action at this time. They
may doubt my judgment but I do
not believe they will question my
sincerity of purpose.”
Objected to IV-year Limit.
Garrett objects to the 19 to 25
year old feature of the administra-
tion bill.
"Can it be said that a boy should
be conscripted into the army to fight
tor his country before his country
has given him a voice in the man-
agement of its affairs before he is
old enough to vote or to execute a
will.
“Tflat the volunteer system has
been successful in our country in
times past is a matter of history.
Whether it will be successful in the
present war no one knows. If we
abandon it altogether at the begin-
ning of this war we will be the first
English speaking people that have
done so."
Judge Garrett paid his respects to
Major George Littlefield of Austin
who at the instance of the Ameri-
can Defense Society wired him urg-
ing that he get in line for the ad-
ministration bill.
“I do not yield to Major Little-
field or any other person or society
In my devotion to the President or
my country" he said.
“Just because the secretary of war
has been unable to convince me
that it is right to conscript only
young men between the ages of 19
and 25 while all others are exempt
from military service shall not be
taken as an evidence of disloyalty ?
Can Raise an Army.
"You may read the committee
bill from cover to cover and you will
not find one word or sentence that
in any manner retards or hinders
the President from raising an effi-
cient army at once.”
"We have put our hands to the
plow and we can’t turn back we
must go about this war in a way that
is certain to bring results” said Rep-
resentative Black this afternoon in
urging passage of conscription.
"The valor of the individual does
not count in this war as it did in the
past. This is an age of scientific
war. therefore we must raise our
armies in a scientific ‘manner. We
must not under-estimate the enemy.
The success or failure of the volun-
teer system in previous wars is not
a controlling factor in this emer-
gency.”

“I see nothing else to do but stay

Uhr. “The city charter apparently
provides that the men not eliminated
in the primary must run in the elec-
tion and I don't propose to be a
quitter. If I read that primary vote
right there were 8500 votes cast as

it would not be fair to my friends

mary to get out now.
‘‘Section 12. paragraph 8 of the
city charter as it stands uses the

BEGGARS ARE
BIG PROBLEM
FOR CHARITIES
Adequate Means to Deal With
Them Is Sought by As-
sociation.
ANNUAL MEETING HELD
Plans for Court Investigator
and Municipal Woodpile
Discussec.
The securing of adequate laws to
prohibit begging on the streets a
municipal wood yard as a “work
test" for transient men and the ap-
pointment of a court sergeant were
among the ideas for constructive
work discussed Wednesday morning
at the annual meeting of the Asso-
ciated Charities at the office in the
Prudential Lite Building. Reports
for the year's work were submitted
and the work for the coming year
outlined.
Officers and directors were re-
elected as follows: E. B. Chandler
president; Nat M. Washer vice presi-
ident; Mrs. Lewis Goodman treas-
urer; directors. Miss M. Eleanor
Brackenridge. Mrs. Thomas W. Beck
Alfred 8. Gage Henry L. Halff J.
Ernest Jarratt Mrs. J» H. Lapham
Bruce J. Martindale Albert Steves
Jr.
Beggars From Elsewhere.
In discussing the report for the
jear beginning April 1 1916 and
ending March 31 1917 Mrs. Dan
A. Leary suggested steps that should
be taken by the association to make
its work still more effective. She
called attention to the fact that San
Antonio is the only city in the state
where permiacuoua begging is al-
lowed on the streets and the condi-
tion of last winter when beggars
came from every section of the coun-
try.
Such indiscriminate giving not
only pauperized the people to whom
gifts of money were made but im-
posed a heavy burden on the peo-
ple that they should not have to
meet she said. If the cases were
handled in a more constructive way
and through channels that endeavor-
ed to incorporate the beggar in the
life of the community as a useful
member instead of making him a
"hanger on” more satisfactory re-
sults could be obtained.
Ordinance Was Effective.
It was pointed out that when
Houston secured its ordinance pro-
hibiting begging on the streets and
the cases of the beggars were taken
up by the charity association only
five of the beggars were found to be
absolutely dependent upon charity.
A great many others had homes and
relatives and others had property
that would support them. It was
pointed out how much better it
would be for the people who give and
those who receive if the help is giv-
en intelligently and constructively;
the dropping of a coin in a beggar's
hat begin a demoralizing form of
charity.
The court sergeant was suggested
to go through the city jail every
morning inquire into the cases of
those in the jail and if a man is
discovered who perhaps is in for
drunkenness and whose family will
suffer from his being in jail the
man would probably be released on
parole the sergeant being the pa-
role officer. All cases of that sort
would be handled by the sergeant.
Need for a Wood Pile.
The report showed the high pro-
portion of transient men who had to
be fed and given lodging by the As-
sociated Charities last year. These
’men came to the office asking for
work and if work could not be
found they were fed and lodged. It
was suggested that a municipal wood
pile be established where these men
could be given work and the ones
who really wanted work could be la-
ter established in the community in-
stead of their tramping on to the
next city.
“Under the new dispensation.” said
Mr. Chandler in speaking of the
contini|ition of the work and the re-
organization that has been effected
within the last year “the Associated
Charities is a year old and like most
young things it has not had a chance
yet to show what it can do.
In Need of Diwtors.
•'We need directors to take care of
a young thing like this. We are so-
liciting directors. We can use a lot
of them. Other associations get them
why can’t we? We find directors
who come forward and say: “We are
w illing to give ourselves to your good
cause.
“It is then suggested that they sell
something at present high prices and
turn in the profits to the Associated
Charities along with the gift of
themselves. We had an idea that it
we could get a board of directors
who would pay the running expenses
of the association there might not be
the danger of high hopes high aims
and great inspiration so prevalent in
the beginning of a good enterprise
and the funds of a confiding public
descending into the support of sal-
aried positions for worthy appli-
cants. with the directors receiving
credit in the newspapers and the
poor remaining always with us.
"The funds we have received have
been donated by contributors with-
out the expense of a solicitor. We
should like additional support from
the community and would like to
give better results.”
Distribution of Funds.
The report for the year's work
submitted by Mrs. Dan A. Leary
showed interesting facts concerning
the distribution of funds the char-
acter of the work done the method
of co-operation with other welfare
organizations the kind of people
that make applications to the Asso-
ciated Charities.
During the year beginning April
1 1916 and ending March 31 1917
the Associated Charities received
$9250.54 in subscriptions donations
and special donations and with the
cash on hand April 1 1916 $736.54
made $10007.08 to be acounted for
in the year’s expenditures. The pre-
portion in which this sum was dis-
bursed included $3243.04 for sala-
ries rent stationery fixtures tele-
phone stamps printing etc. the
salaries of the four social workers
employed being paid by the direc-
tors. Six thousand and sixty-seven
dollars and elghty-five cents of this
money was spent for relief leaving
$696.19 balance April 1 1917.
During the year 1012 new cases
were opened and 372 old cases re-
opened making a total of 1384 cases
for the year these representing
2588 grown people and 1140 chil-
dren.
Majority Are Americans.
In view of the opinion held by
some people that the Associated
Charities handles largely Mexican
eases the statement of nationality
in the report was interesting. Five
hundred and forty-one of the cases
handled were American and 309
were Mexican while only 12 were
negro. Of the other nationalities
and races handled including Belgian
Bohemian. Canadian English Ger-
man French Hebrew Irish Ital-
ian Polish. Russian the largest pro-
portion were German 75 and the
next were Hebrew 42. Ninety-
three of the cases were tubercular.
The social state of the new cases
showed that 421 were married peo-
ple 180 widows. 54 deserted wives
8 unmarried mothers 57 widowers.
40 single women 48 single resident
men and 204 single transient men.
While a large number of the ap-
plicants come directly to the As-
sociated Charities cases are referred
to the charities by Individuals and
by organizations of every kind the

The list gives some Idea of how
the Associated Charities stands as a
clearing house for charitable work
in the city and in handling the
cases referred to them the associa-
tion co-operatea with other organi-
zations particularly in furnishing
transportation. They have referred
cases to private physicians to city
physicians to county physicians to

CHICKENS ARE “ENEMIES"
Home Gardcncro Complain Tlicy
Dig Up Seeds « n d Plants.
Home and back yard gardeners
have made many and bitter com-
plaints during the last few days re-
garding the non-enforcement of the
ordinance prohibiting the running at
large of chickens according to
George J. Roark assistant secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce. Re-
peated raids on their gardens by
neighbors’ chickens the reports said
have discouraged some amateurs and
made them abandon their gardens.
"I venture to say that within the
past week more than one hundred
complaints have reached me." said
Mr. Roark. "The city ordinance spe-
cifically savs that chickens must not
be allowed to run at large but
scores tell me the law is ignored and
that chickens run the streets and
forage in back yards and on lawns
and flower beds just as much as
ever. I am going to take up the mat-
ter with Mayor Brown and Chief
Lancaster so that those trying to
make a garden will not be worried
with the chickens eating up the ten-
der vegetables."
Texas Dentists In Session.

thirty-seventh annual convention of
the Texas State Dental Society
opened this morning with several
hundred delegates present. J. O.
Hall of Waco is president of the so-
ciety. which will be in session four
days. A considerable portion of the
program provides for discussion of
oral surgery work as it has been de-
veloped during the war and the
possible mobilization of American
dentists in connection with the army
hospital service.
Luxemburg Administration Resigns.
AMSTERDAM. April 25. —(Via
London.) —A telegram from Luxem-
burg says that the administration has
placed its resignation in the hands
of the grand duchess. The action
was based on the ground that the
government no longer enjoys the
confidence of the people and that
neither producers nor consumers
were doing their duty.

for Institutions.
San Antonio manufacturers prom-

awarding of contracts for approxi-
mately $2000000 worth of supplies
for the state institutions. May 5. The
announcement was made that the
state purchasing agent at Austin was
now ready to make contracts at the
meeting of the Manufacturers’ Club
held at the Gunter Hotel Tuesday
night. Many of the local manufac-
turers signified their intention of go-
ing after a number of the items.
The meeting was well attended
and a number of subjects that are
of interest to the manufacturers of
the country at this time were dis-
cussed. George 8. McElroy led a
discussion concerning the conditions
brought about bj’ the war in which
the effect of the war on a number
of local enterprises was brought out.
It was the consensus of opinion that
business generally is good and that

on the part of the factory proprie-
