'JOY ‘LIZARDS’
AND ‘JELLIES'
TO ROCK PILE
Wright Tells Police to
Abate “Public
Nuisances.”
GIRLS ARE INSULTED
Commissioner Says Street
Loafers Disgusting to
Decent People.
* Downtown “public nuisances” were
» ordered eliminated by Phil A'right
’ fire and police commissioner Satur-
• day morning in personal instructions
J to police.
• Jellybeans boisterous newsies joy-
• riding lizards and speilers were char-
si acterized by the commissioner as ob-
* noxious disgusting and against the
• peace and dignity of good citizenship
k and in violation of the law.
“The police must either get busy."
said the commissioner in his early
morning address to the morning shift
w“or the time is coming when this
* element will take absolute control of
* the downtown sidewalks and streets.
“I want you to clean them out."
* he ordered. “I want each officer to
keep his beat clean to rid the streets
- of these public nuisances. I am sure
■V such action will meet with the ap-
proval of every real man woman and
” child in San Antonio.”
Everybody Wants To Parade.
« Commissioner Wright declared it
v seemed a certain element was going
* “hog-wild” in a “crazy sort” of ad-
“ vertising. “Everybody in certain
* circles" he said “seems to want to
• put on a parade either for commer-
J cial purposes or merely to display
4 themselves before the public eye. Un-
■ less there is a check I don’t know
aii where we are going to land. We are
• on a way I don't know where that
is bound to ultimately result in a
“ frightful reaction in commercial or
-social disaster unless we call a halt.”
The drastic orders given the down-
town police he said was due to com-
-plaints that have all but swamped
* him. Merchants and private men and
J women he declared were up in arms
. because of intolerable conditions that
seem to be growing worse day by
• day.
“One of the most dangerous nuisan-
ces we have had confronting us for
quite a while is in th shape of what
.has been termed the ‘Jellybeans.’
They have all but taken control of
the downtown streets and plazns. Par-
^ticularly is Houston street from
Alamo plaza to North Flores street
infested with this species of human
being.
• “And.” declared the commissioner
who was forced to an early breaking
’off of l.is sleep to deliver the latest
.orders to his men “this sort of street
or public nuisance—the Jellybean is
growing so fast in numbers that the
situation is little less than fright-
fully serious.
Girls and Women Insulted.
“I have been giving this natter a
personal investigation and I know com-
plaints reaching me are true. It is
almost impossible foi women or girls
to walk along our principal streets
alone after dark without being sub-
Ijected to all sorts of remarks many
of which are nothing less than bold
.insults.
* “Every woman has the absofute
’right to walk tlong our sidewalks.” he
^aid with emphasis “without being
■insulted. Unless drastic action is
'taken I don't see how we are to avoid
■some serious complications. One com-
Jplainant writes he witnessed a scene
.one night recently tha if it had been
his own daughter involved there
•would have been ‘one jellybean less to
contend with.’ "
“Fuch conditions” he added can-
not long be tolerated Then there are
other nuisances I want you to clean
out of our streets .One is the ‘spieler.’
especially boys white Mexicans and
negroes employed at downtown shine
parlors. Remarks madk to women and
girls make thi step necessary. I in-
aiat you abolish this nuisance. Spiel-
ing is directly contrary to the ordi-
nances.
Recommends Chain Gang for Them.
“Then there is the loud-mouthed
newsie. Of course the newsboy has a
right to sell his wares but the sale
must be regulated. There is no neces-
sity far half a dozen boys selling one
paper to congr gate on one street
corner. It seems some of those who
complain against the newsboy arc a
bit grouchy but in some instances the
complaints are well founded.
“And lastly the nightly parades of
‘joy-riders up and dovn our principal
streets and plazas. This element
reigns until after midnight and make
jthe street hideous in many instances
£y their loud talk and in some in-
stances indecent conduct. I want
Tyou to stop this or arrest them. It
the only remedy. I believe a week
_.or ten days on the police chain gang
^cutting weeds will do awav with the
ilk-shirted ‘jellybean’ and the night
^joy-riders.” s

Principals in Brutal Murder
TREASURY DEFICIT
IS NEARLY $1500000
COMPTROLLER SAYS
No Revenue in Sight to
Meet School Appropria-
tions in Semtember.
Austin Tex. June 16.—Despite the
fact that the third called session of
the Thirty-eighth Legislature made an
appropriation of $2900090 to supple-
ment the available school fund and
SLoOO.OOO for aid for the rural schools
of Texas for the coming fiscal year
there is not likely to be any funds in
general revenue on September 1. 1923.
to meet these appropriations in the
opinion of C. V. Terrell state treasur-
er. The Legislature made these appro-
priations among others but failed to
provide additional revenue to meet
them.
Governor Neff may take this condi-
tion of affairs in passing on these
two school bills which are now on Ins
desk for final disposition. It is said
that he may decide to veto the appro-
priations for the second year which is
also $2000000 and thus in a measure
relieve the situation. In the event this
course is not pursued by the governor
then cuts may have to be made in
other appropriations.
Treasurer Terrell stated that
the deficit in general revenue in the
state treasury at the present time is
nearly $1500000 and he estimates
that by the beginning of the next fiscal
!I1 ' lave easily tc
$3009000 and by adding this amount
to the $3500000 for the schools will
make a total of $6500000 by the first
of next September.

ing first occupied that Important post
when Thomas B. Love of Dallas was
speaker. B hile the Legislature is no»
iu session Mr. Basford holds an im-
portant position in the state depart-
ment of education.
That a majority of the members of
the Legislature would oppose another
session of the Thirty-eighth Legisla-
ture before next January is the opin-
ion of Lieutenant Governor T. W.
Davidson expressed Friday evening be-
fore departing for his home nt Mar-
shall. Davidson added he believed it
would be inadvisable for the governor
to call another session before that
time. He estimated the state defic-
icncy would be approximately $4000.
000 and expressed gratification on the
reduction work accomplished by the
third called session.
In the opinion of State Tax Com-
missioner John G. Willacy the deficit
will be over $4000009. Senator Wil-
lacy said Friday evening ho is making
a careful survey of the state's fi-
nancial situation and probably will

EDUCATION ALL WRONG
Edison Saya Colleges Fail To Teach
Students To Think.
New York June 16.—Although
denying that he opposes colleges
Thomas A. Edison declares that he
is convinced there is something wrong
with the college system in a state-
ment today to the New York Tribune
in which he discusses the recent
graduation of his youngest son
Theodore from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.
He said he got some "of the best
men in his plant at West Orange.
N- J- from colleges but admitted that
the Go in his employ had been culled
out of 2000. •
"There is something wrong with
the college system." he said in ex-
plaining. “J do )10 t know what the
trouble is; that is not my line. I
can only judge by the results. But
one thing is certain: The present
system of education in the colleges
does not train men to think. Uni-
versity presidents in criticising my
questionnaires sail! that the college
does not try t 0 fill the students’
mind with n lot of information but
teaches him where to find it. Yet
when we tried my questionnaire at
one college the students couldn’t pass
because they didn't know where to
find what they wanted.”
“Culture is very nice” he con-
tinued in answer to a question “but
it has nothing to do with the balance
^heet. Most people seem to forget all
’b* lr Latin soon as they get out
of school. Manufacturers and heads
of industrial plants should get their
men from the technical -schools where
men are taught to he accurate.” •

TELLS OF CURE
Oxford Professor Believes He Has
Palliative For Tuberculosis.
London June 16.—Humanity is of-
fered a palliative if not a cure for
tuberculosis by Professor Georges
Dreyer bacteriologist of Oxford Uni-
versity. The basis of his treatment
is described as n more effective sys-
tem of innoculation than has hither-
to been known.
In explaining his discovery to the
Institute of Pathology and Research
of St. Mary's hospital. Professor Drey-
er declared that remarkable cures had
been effected on guinea pigs and other
animals and that great improvement
hud been effected in the cases of per-
sons suffering from tuberculosis
blood poisoning anthrax and venereal
discuses.
He pointed out that in the innocu-
lation of human beings dead bacteria
were used. In order to-be success-
ful the microbes must be digested
and destroyed by the tissues of the
patient but a coating of fut which
covered some microbes prevented the
juices of the body from getting at
them. He explained that his new
system was to destroy the fat sur-
rounding these germs thus making
them more easily destroyed by vac-
cine injections.
London physicians who have used
the new treatment declare the benefit
derived is much greater than from the
other forms of treatment in use. They
report complete cures in some ad-
vanced cases of tuberculosis affecting
various parts of the body.
