for conferences with various subordi-
nate leaders in the strike said he had
xo other conferences planned with the

ARMISTICE IDEAS
COLDLY RECEIVED
IN CONSTANTINOPLE
Turks Are Suspicious of
Proposals for Ending
War.
Constantinople March 25 Tbe pro-
posal for an armistice between tile
Turks and Greeks in Asia Minor ad-
vanced by tbe allied foreign ministers
was received here with indifference.
Distrust is expressed by newspapers
of all shades of opinion who recall tue
armistice of Mudros where they say tbe
Turks were deceived by tbe very state-
ments which offer to settle tbe present
trouble. They say there is danger o.
tbe Greeks not fulfilling thy armistice
terms but instead using the interval to
complete their preparations for further
warfare.
It is stated that the Turks at any
rate cannot accept tbe idea ot an aru-i.-
tice as long as the Greeks retain the
lines occupied by their troops in last
year’s offensive which was started de-
spite a warning from the powers.
Athens March 23.—The Greek press
is taking kindly to tbe idea of an armis-
tice iu Asia Minor proposed by the
powers and general relief is lelt at the
prospect of peace.
In responsible circles it is believed
the armistice proposals will oe accepted
by tbe Greek government without les
e rvatiou.

WNS NEIIIIED
TO KEEP FLOOD
FROM BREAKING
Engineers Will Submit Sup-
plementary Report on
Projects Soon.
HOPE TO CURTAIL COST
Tuttle Makes No Promise
But Thinks Reduction
Bare Possibility.
Plans to make San Ant .io safe from
the horrors and destruction of a flood
such as visited this city last September
have been revived. This wa disclosed
Thursday by SV. B. TutU. chairman of
the subcomm'tt'. of engineers which ha
been working quietly on the proposition
for the last three weeks. Tbe committee
expects to have a supplementary report
ready within a short ti— Mr. Tuttle
said.
The efforts of tbe committee during
tbe last three weeks the chairman said
have been devoted to a careful check of
all estimates contained in the vriginal
report with a view to decreasing the
cost of the project if possible. Under
the original estimate the flood preven-
tion program entailed the expenditure
of about five and one-half million dol-
lars.
When the committee of engineers
made its final report carrying this large
estimate it became apparent that pub-
lic sentiment was not in favor of a
bond issue of such mammoth propor-
tions. This sentiment developed at a
series of public hearings on the subject.
After these tarings eiosed the mayer
too kthe position that the public must
indicate just wbat mi bod of procedure
should be pursued and the flood pre-
vention movement virtually died out.
Recently however Mr. Tuttle said
the committee was instructed to go fur-
ther into the matter and to determine
if possible whether the cost could be
cut down. With this end in view tbe
engineers have been investigating the
cost of securing land in the business
district necessary for widening and
straightening the channel refiguring tie
cost of raw materials to be used io the
construction of a dam he ype of dam
to be built and other important features
of the problem.
The committee also bas b. a careful-
ly going over the question of caring for
a maximum flood in the event one of
larger proportions than last fell should
visit the city. At that time it has
been estimated the rainfall over a pe-
riod of 24 hours was about sixteen
inches. Near Taylor north of San An-
tonio however 24 inches of rain fell
in 24 hours over a territory about the
same size as was covered north of San
Antonio. Tbe committee therefore has
been considering the project with a view
to caring for a flood ruch as would fol-
low a fall of water similar to the Tay-
lor downpour.
Reduction Is Possible.
It may be Mr. Tuttle said though
he would make no definite prediction
that the committee will be able to shave
the original estimate and bring tbe cost
of the project within an amount for
which bonds could be voted. Tbe com-
mittee will take up the question ot costs
again at a meeting next /edne.silay and
expects soon to have its supplementary
report ready.
If this is accomplished it is be-
lieved that the city administration will
take definite action with regard to adopt-
ing the flood prevention program and
possibly submit the question or a ond
issue to carry it out to a vote of the
people at the same time the charter
amendments which are now being draft-
ed by the charter revision committee are
submitted.
ONION CROP MOVING

Egyptian Growers.
Brownsville Tex. March 25^-Onion
growers of tbe Lower Rio Grande Val-
ley have accepted tbe challenge ot the
Egyptian onion raisers and tbe race

ty where 3000 acres of Bermuda onions

abnormal.
Expecting a bumper crop Ratcliff
Brothers of Samford.vce Hidalgo coun-
ty have purchased 100.000 crates for
their 250-acre crop which will begin
moving about April 1. Tbia crop it is
understood here bas beep sold on a
sliding scale of prices rangiug from
$1.40 to $2 a crate.
The crop in all lower valley counties

MAY REPAIR LIBRARY
Trustees Flan Slight Improvements on
Condition of Building.
Contemplated improvements in the
Carnegie Public Library were discussed
at a special meeting of the board of
trustees Saturday morning at the li-
brary. In view of the lack of funds
for such purposes the improvements
will not be on an extensive scale at this
time. Sirs. Frances Humphrey the li-
brarian said.
Among the contemplated improve-
ments will be the converting of the au-
ditorium into a stack room thus giv-
ing the library much needed additional
stacking space.
Within a few weeks it is thought
that the building will be rewired and
electrical fixtures installed so that the
interior might be brilliantly lighted at
night. At present the building is but
dimly lighted at night making it un-
satisfactory as a reading room.
Providing there is sufficient money
to cover the expense both the exterior
and the interior of the building are to
be repainted. Should this be done
the appearance of the library will be
greatly improved since the building
now has a weather-beaten appear-
ance.
Tlie resignation of T. G. Leighton
as a trustee was accepted Saturday
morning and Dr. Frederick Terrell was
appointed to fill the vacancy.
Paving Bids Rejected.
San Angelo Tex. March 25.—Two
bids for the paving of over lour mjles
of streets from the proceeds of a $150-
000 bond issue voted November 29 ? have
been rejected by the ci(y commission.
The unwillingness of the bidders to ac-
cept in their present form the assess-
ments against abutting property own-
ers who must defray three-fifths the
expense caused the action. The com-
mission has instructed Amos W. Love-
land. city attorney and J. E. Beavers
engineer to draw up new specifications
on which acceptable proposals may be
submitted at a date that will be set
later. Meanwhile the officials are
working on a plan to convert the prop-
erty owners’ paper into more ready
cash and have under advisement a plan
submitted by T. A. Reed on behalf of
H. O. Duer of El Paso. Bosworth
Chanute A Co. of Denver recently paid
a premiutn of over $5600 for the pav-
ing bonds.
Favor Street Sanitation.
San Angelo Tex. Match 25. —Sani-
tation laws in San Angelo which have
been laxly enforced will be in the fu-
ture be rigidly adhered to representa-
tive citizens assured Jeff Rees of Aus-
tin representative of the State Health
Department at a meeting this week.
With the state bearing one-half the
expense the city may establish # free
clinic for the treatment of venereal
diseases and may employ a physician
in charge who will devote his entire
time to the work. Rees made a pro-
posal of this kind which met with ap-
proval. He complained that laws re-
quired the examination ot barbers and
food handlers particularly and issuing
of certificates to them are not being
complied with that the sewer system
is defective and that reports on vene-
real cases are not being made as re-
quired under the law.

AMENDMENT TO
CHARTER MAT

Proposed That All Candi-

Run Independently.
PROGRESS IS MADE
Charter Revision Committee
Now Taking Up Impor-
tant Amendments.
Selection of candidates for the vari-
ous offices of the city government with-
out regard to their political or section-
al affiliations is the object of a pro-
posed amendment to tbe city charter
which was offered by Judge A. W. Seel-
igson chairman of the charter revision
committee Friday afternoon. The
amendment if adopted would make it
necessary for each candidate to run
independently of all others and would
prevent the formation of two or more
tickets as has been the custom in tbe
past. City officials elected under this
procedure Judge Seeligson explained
would feel no personal enmity toward
one another as is usually engendered
by a spirited political battle before a
campaign.'
The amendment offered by Judge
Seeligson which first must be presented
to the committee of seven before tbe
committee of the whole for action
would be known as "paragraph 2a of
section 18a” and reads as follows:
Would Prevent Friction.
"It is contemplated that candidates
for the office of mayor and commis-
sioner be nominated and elected upon
their own respective merits and not
associated with or in connection with
any other candidate and it shall be
unlawful for any person who is a can-
didate for mayor or commissioner to
directly or indirectly either himself or
through a campaign manager or other
person acting for him form enter into
or become a party to any combination
alliance or association with or adver-
tise themselves as running with or on
the same ticket with or have tbe same
campaign headquarters with any other
candidate for mayor or commissioner
in any primary or general election.”
The commission form of government.
Judge Seeligson explained is as near
perfect as is humanly possible. The
present charter fie declared provides
that candidates shall be elected itre-
spective of party affiliation. The ciV
has drifted away from this however
and at every election factions align
themselves against one another. This
causes friction when a “split ticket”
BEACON HILL
HERE ia an unequaled opportunity for homeseekers and in-
vestors to purchase desirable well-located lots at rock-
bottom prices. BEACON HILL TERRACE high in ele-
vation is immediately adjacent to San Antonio’s most exclusive
residential sections. The growth of Laurel Heights and Beacon
Hill is crowding into Beacon Hill Terrace and those who buy

location without the objection of being high-priced.

to Avoid Duplication.
C. F. Russi representing organized
labor on tbe committee inquired wbat
would be tbe result if any organization
or mass meeting endorsed a certain set
of candidates. Judge Seeligson replied
that he did not believe the amendment
would affect the individual.
Little of importance was accom-
plished at the Friday meeting of the
charter committee which was not large-
ly attended. A resolution was adopted
providing that amendments endorsed by
the three sub-committees should be sub-
mitted to the committee of seven of
which W. W. McAllister is chairman.
This committee would then examine
the amendments and ascertain if those
submitted by one committee conflicted
with or duplicated those submitted by
another.
In this case the chairman of the sub-
committees would be called upon to iron
out the differences. The amendments
would then be submitted to the secre-
tary of the committee of the whole who
would have them mimeographed and
submitted to all members thereof. They
would then be studied a week before be-
ing submitted to the committee of the
whole for final adoption or rejection.
The committee of seven was empowered
to transmit any recommendation deemed
advisable with each amendment.
Sub-committees Make Progress.
Chairmen of the three sub-committees
reported that meetings have been held
during tbe last week and much prog-
ress made Charles R. Tips chairman
of one of the sub-committees reported
that his committee is in favor of amend-
ing section 36 of the charter so as to
make it conform to section 131. with
which it conflicts. Section 36 pro-
vides that all ordinances shall go into
effect on the day of their approval by
the mayor or on tbe day of their pas
sage over the mayor's veto unless other-
wise provided. Section 131 provides
that no ordinance shall go into effect
before the expiration of ten days from
the time of its final passage with cer-
tain exceptions.
Divorcing of the school tax from the
city tax and provision for surety bonds
as is required by tbe state for all city
depositories are two amendments which
were reported on favorably by one sub-
committee.
The next meeting will be held next
Thursday at 2:30 o’clock at the cham-
ber of commerce auditorium.
