AWAIT OFFICIAL ORDER
Transfer of Consulate General Pend in?
Receipt of Formal Advice.
Official reports from tbe Mexican
capital config ling the transfer of the
consulate general from Laredo to San
Antonio had not been received here
Monday morning Consul Garza Leal
sc id. Consul General Ruiz of Laredo
was in San Antonio Sunday in confer-
ence with Consul 1/oal and stated
tuat he hud been notified of tbe change
by the minister of foreign relations
but as yet no official order has been
issued from the City of Mexico.
The plan to move the consulkite gen-
eral from Laredo to Son Antonio is in
conjunction with a general shift of
Mexican consuls in Texas. Consul I/cal
said Monday mornin*. Should Mr. Ruiz
be stationed here as consulate general
which Mr. Leal said is practically cer-
tain Consul Ismael Vasquez of Browns-
ville will be sent to take thc post at
Larede while Consul Leal will be
transferred to the consular jaW at Los
Angeles Calif. Consul L. J. ViHal*
tundo of Kansas City Mo. will be
&oved from the post there to San An-
lon^o and carry on tbe consulate work
here as asseciate consulate general ae-1
THE SAN ANTONTO LIGHT.
cording to tbe present plan Mr. Leal
said.
Tbe United States is divided into five
consulate districts by tbe Mexican gov-
ernment eaeh district being under a
consulte general. Mr. Leal said. The
consulate general is an executive offi-
cer and in addition to supervising tbe
work of the various consulates located
in tbe particular districts accounts for
all funds and is highly influential ! n
regard to naming the personnel of the
consuls under him. In cities where con-
sulate generals are located the consu-
late work is carried on by the associate
consul general.
Consul Leal said Monday that no
definite time has been set for the shift
of consuls and the moving of the con-
sulate general to San Antonio nut it
would probably take playe within three
weeks foil wing official orders from the
City of Mexico.

ANNIVERSARY SALE
WOLFSON Anniversary Sales are different from the general run of sales because
they embrace every bit of merchandise in the house with the exception of a lim-
ited number of articles that we are honor bound not to reduce prices on. Even
new merchandise arriving daily is included. This is in line with the policy of these
great annual events. The 500 day-time dresses for women and misses that we re-
ceived last week which sold like the proverbial “hot cakes” is an example of the won-
derful opportunities that this sale affords shoppers. These new arrivals together
with our regular new midsummer stocks present buying opportunities of paramount im-
portance to the thrifty-inclined.
