San Antonio's big animal family parad-
ed Saturday morning in celebration of
"Kind Day” when humane treatment to
animals and children was blazoned forth
by the human society and the City Fed-
eration of Women's Clubs.
Horses burros uogs cat rabbits and
even a rooster were among the march-
ers as children exhibited their pets before
the admiring populace which stood on
the streets in thousands during the par-
ade.
Police beaded the parade with Traf-
fic Lieutenant T. O. Miller in charge.
Next came the Seventeenth Infantry
training center baud. Battery C.
Twelfth Field Artillery had its prize
winning section of sorrels with gun and
caisson in the parade.
Joan nt Arc Entered.
One of the most interesting features
of the parade was a horse ambulance
with a "patient’’ in it. The First In-
fantry entered this ambulance in the
parade. The hospital wagon for the
sick horses has a false bottom in it
which can be let down on the ground so
that a >ick horse can be laid on it and
then pulled up into the ambulance. The
four-mule team of the 23rd Infantry
pilde of the regiment was also another
army entrant.
"Joan of Arc’’ a French horse who
is one of the four army horses i.. the
^’nited States that saw service in
Mas also in the lipe. This horse
wears five bronxe stars her victory rib-
bon denoting five major operations par-
ticipated in with the Second Division.
Besides her unusual war record this
horse has wou many honors at shows
both here and abroad.
Riding in cars and in expensive lim-
ousines came the.pets of S-n Antonio
cats and dogs. Among them was Mise
Toddle with Cecil Adolphus son of Dr.
and Mrs. Lewis Krams-Beck having her
in charge. Miss Toddles was decorated
for the occasion with a collar of roses.
Then there was a yellow cat "who be-
longed to Dorothy.” In the same car
with this midnight soprano was "Muf-
fin” a iioodle who belonged to Mary
Jones 137 Grammerycy Park.
Dorothy Lee Hall of 119 City street
had Jack sitting on the running board
of the car. Jack is a pointer by profes-
sion but a family pct by trade.
E. E. Hawkins son of Rev. P. E.
Hawkins pastor of the Government Hill
Christian church bad his pet rabbit
in the parade.
Rooster Almost Crowded.
One fowl was entered in the parade.
It. was a big Rhode Island Red roster
a pet belonging to Mary Anderson 202
Huton street Alamo Heights daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert 8. Ander-
son. The rooster gave signs at fre-
quent interval; during the parade as if
preparing to crow but tirfs failed to
take place.
The burro and wagon in the parade
hwl^yd to James M. Bush 336 Rivas
kVeen This burro belonged to a Mexi-
can family last September and when the
*ood waters came down the Alnzan
lie family left just in time to save their
Ties. Looking back they saw their
uithful burro swimming the black wa-
ers. and soon the family was reunited
n the other side of the stream
Verdun Was a Hit.
No animal parade would nave been
omplete without Verdun. Verdun is
he mule led by Second Division with
he banner across her back. She was
>orn on the battlefields of France while
ter mother was up near the front lines
sear Verdun. Hence her name. The
mother was soon killed in artion hauling
ammunition nnd the colt was nursed on
a bottle by Bergt. Norman Kendall of
the Fifteenth Field Artillery.
This little mule is the inseparable
companion of Lady a great dane be-
longing to Lieut. It. L. Johnson. Home
day Verdun will be a big mule and take
her mother’s place in the regiment.
Quite a number of kittens were in ths
parade which added to the excitement
of the numerous dogs.

SATURDAY.
Inveterate Drunkard Reformed
When He Joins Police Force
“Bill” Lambert Served More
Than 2000 Separate Terms
for Drunkenness Before
Police Chief Thought of
Scheme to Effect Cure.
By STI ART N. LAKE.
Copyright IM 2.
San Diego Cal.. April 8.—“ Bill"
Lambert able-bodied seaman came
ashore from a windjammer 25 years ogo
in this harbor of opportunity nud im-
mediately resolved himself into the
municipal problem. Red liquor was
flowing freely along the \vaterfront.
This fact was made the most of by
"Bill.”
Long before prohibition closed his
favorite haunts he hung up a record for
non-stop consecutive jail sentences un-
approached in local history until it is
estimated that he has served more tnan
2000 separate terms. In one period of
217 days he drew seven sentences of 30
days each all on pleas of guilty to in-
toxication.
Arresting lambert Is Monotonous.
Arresting "Bill” Lambert grew mo-
notonous to the police. He got so
that all an officer had to do in the
sailor’s rare days of liberty was to
shake him until ho could walk and tell
him to report at the station house.
Thereupon "Bill” would lead himself
over to his friend the desk sergeant
gravely recite the charge under which
he wanted to be locked up.
In his early days efforts were made
to sober him up. Time nnd again a
kindly magistrate has asked what lie
thought ought to be done to him.
"Bill’s” invariable reply was "30 days
seem enough.”
Lambert has been in the city jail tip*
county jail in hospitals time and
again on the county farm and some-
times farmed out to individuals or so-
cieties that made a specialty of reform-
ing erring brothers. All this was of
no avail. He was good hearted and
there was no crime in bis makeup. Rut
lit would get drunk.
Then came prohibition. "Bill” ran
the changes on moonshine flavoring ex
tracts hair tonic jamaica tiugeE shoe
polish and ouce—-.wood alcohol. Lately
Municipal Judge Davin has been (sen-
tencing him to 30 days on an average
of each 31. At the time of his last ar-
rest "Bill” opined that 60 days might
be better as "this bootleg stuff” threat-
ened to turn him into a “bum.” The
judge took his advice.
Today Judge Davin opened his court.
He looked at his desk calendar. Turn-
ing to Bailiff Collins be demanded:
"Where’s ‘Bill?’ His sentence expired
yesterday. Go down and see ^hether
they forgot to turn him loose.” /
"Bill” Makes Good Office/-.
Collins left and returned witlf "Bill”
and Chief of Police James Patrick. But
it wasn’t the “Bill” that his honor was
expecting. Alongside of the chief proud-
ly stalked William Lambert officer of
the law properly uniformed with regu-
lation shield belt and club.
The chief explained that he bad been
Utilizing “Bill” as an officer. When
hu reported for his last "stretch” he
failed to mention that it was for 60
instead of 30 days. The chief took him
in tow at the end of the month made
him a probationary policeman and sad-
dled him with some authority.
“It worked” said the ebief. “ ‘Bill’
is sober and a good officer. 1 appear to
have solved our long standing municipal
problem.” ~

No Offense to Panish
Bogus Bootlegger Who
Sells Water for Cognac
It’s no offense to “bounce’’ a rock
off a man's head who posing as a
bootlegger. hpIN you a piut of Cognac
—but which is found lo be kickless
and is nothing but water and brown
sugar.
This was the attitude of a squad
of police who answered a cull to
East Crockett and Chestnut streets
at 11 o’clock Thursday night. The
officers found two negroes. One
had sold the other a bottle of what
he represented to be Cognac. The
latter when he took a wee little sip.
grabbed up a fist-size stone aud
hurled it at the fleeing form of the
bogus bootlegger. The latter went
down for the count as the heavy
stone glanced off the back of his
head.
Before they arrested the negro for
assault a sample taste of the bottle’s
contents convinced the representa-
tives of the law the down-and-*mt
negro had “fleeced” the other. The
“liquid” will be subjected to an
analysis. Jn the meantime the bogus
bootlegger is held in the hope there
may be found sufficient alcohol to
justify * complaint.

gation Shows Money Was
Used Privately.
By the AMociated Fresn.
San Juan April B.—E. Mont Reily
governor of Porto Rico. Auditor Kes-
singer and Governor Reily’s private
secretary are charged in a grand jury
presentment with misuse of public
funds for private purchase. There nrc
four different counts against the men
mentioned in the presentment.
The presentment which covers ten
typewritten pages expresses the belief
of the grand jurv that if present con-
ditions had continued and the investi-
gation been delayed one year the pub-
lic treasury would have suffered con-
siderable less.
The district attorney is directed by
the grand jury to prepare indictments
and proceed against Governor Reily on
the others on the basis of evidence and
testimony obtained by them for the
purpose of prosecution.
The grand jury which had been
holding an investigation into matters
concerning the administration of Gov-
ernor Reilv. submitted its report to the
court Wednesday^ The court was re-
quested tn read the report publicly nnd
act on it. District Judge Foote at
first refused to take it. saying a re-
port from the grand jury afforded noth-
ing on which the court could base hny
judicial action and that the court could
not have jurisdiction on any complaint
contained in Ihe report.
He added that once the information
was furnished it was the duty of the
grand jury to indict or not. ’Hie grand
jury insisted on delivering the report
to the court with a statement that
“this is the result of our investigation
and we deliver it to the court proceed-
ing in accordance with law.”
Judge Foote again refused to receive
the report as a public document but
put it aside in a sealed envelope.
Thursday the grand jury asked
Judge Foote to turn over the report
to the authorities.
SEVENTH VICTIM DIES
FOLLOWING CRASH OF
PLANES NEAR PARIS
Low Visibility Is Blamed
for Accident by Of-
ficials.
By the Associated Pre**.
Paris April B.—R. E. Duke pilot of
the English plane which crashed into
a French Goliath on the Paris-London
aerial express route yesterday near
Thieulloy died in the hospital at Beau-
vais today. He was the only person in
either machine to survive the crash. His
death brought the total killed to seven.
Low visibility caused by clouds and
mist is given as the primary cause of
the catastrophe. Both pilots flying
low. keeping the railroad tracks in
sight so as not to lose Abeir way
brought them together head-on.
The French company operating the
Goliath which was carrying three pas-
sengers has issued a statement declar-
ing that their pilots have perfect knowl-
edge of the route which they have been
covering for a year. The British ma-
chine owned by a new company had
only been in the London-Paris service
three days.
It seems certain that those in the Go-
liath saw the English machine at least
some seconds before the crash as when
the body of .Mrs. Christopher Bruce
Yule was found a hand was pressed to
her eyes as though to shut out the sight
of the impending collision.’
Besides Mrs. Yule the dead are: Her
husband who was a New York expor-
ter; M. Bouriez another passenger;
Pilot Mire of the Goliath and his me-
chanic. nnd Pilot Duke and the cabin
boy of the English machine.
In the investigation of the accident
the theory is being advanced iu some
quarters that air suction due to the
action of the propellers attracted the
machines together.
The air booking agencies announced
today there had been no cancellations
of bookings on account of the accident.
Eight airplane companies operate ser-
vice between Paris and London with a
combined fleet of 60 machines each
with accommodations for from two to
twelve persons. All the companies con-
duct a daily service some of them fly-
ing two airplanes n day.

If you will take note you will see that
nobody broadly speaking reads the “help
wanted” ads in public. Lots of people
won’t even read the other “want-ads” in
public.
There is a natural reluctance to disclose
one’s personal affairs to the world as would
be done by looking for a job in public.
But in the privacy of one’s own homa
it is possible to read the “want-ads” care-
fully to clip them out and paste them up
to make notes and comparisons to talk
them over with the other members of the
family and to write letters and make
decisions.
So if your “want-ad” is one that in-
vites consideration and discussior^ you
naturally place it in the evening paper—*
The San Antonio Light the paper that
goes home and stays home.
