With the realization that should he
recover he must face charges of rob-

years old who was shot when he is
alleged to have attempted to hold up

point of death at his home 1802 Car-

sicians.
Tinsley's condition became compli-
cated Friday uight when pneumonia
set in. Although his condition was
reported as somewhat improved late
Saturday night. In the alleged hold-
up Tinsley sustained a wound in his
right lung from a 45-ealiber pistol.
Tinsley'a three companions alleged
to complete the “Jelly Bean” bandit
gang that for several weeks terrorized
motorists of San Antonio by their
daring holdups have declared to de-
tectives that Tiusley is the leader af
the gang and have laid most of the
blame on him.
Will Talk When Able.
Although he is in no condition to
make a statement and his parents de-
clare that he has said nothing to
them in regard to the operations of
the gang information reaching police
headquarters indicates that Tinsley de-
nies being the leader of the gang and
says that the other boys are "fram-
ing” on him in order to escape as
Hight as possiblp. It is understood
that he has said they are as guilty
as he and that he wants to tell the
whole thing.
Detectives have been advised that
should Tinsley’s physician say he can-
not recover he wants to make a clean
breast of the whole thing.
W. S. Norbury step-father of the
wounded boy said Saturday morning
that he had no statement to make in
regard to the affair. He denied that
Tinsley had told him anything in re-
gard to the holdup and stated that
when his son recovered sufficiently
he would give his version of the af-
fair. Both Mr. and Mrs. Norbury
are completely torn up over the trou-
ble.
Mrs. Norbury stated Saturday that
the other three boys are as guilty as
is Tinsley and that they told that
he was the leader of the gang believ-

Christmas bootleggers have not done
their shopp ng early or else the sup-
plies have been late in coming up from
the Bahamas or over from Bermuda.
Early observers reported at least
twenty luggers lying low this morn-
ing. A day or two ago there were but'

when a revenue cutter paid no atten-
tion to the three-mile limit and "ar-

have accepted the twelve-mile dictum

The seas have been heavy the last
few days however and landing the
Christmas supplies has been hazard-
ous last week. A whistling nor'easter
roaring down the main at 55 miles
an hour has tossed the rummy crews
about in a nasty fashion and business
has been poor.
Another and wholly unexpected fac-
tor has come along to make the life
of the rum-runners along the Jersey
shore anything but a happy one. New
Jersey is supposed to be as wet ns the
Atlantic ocean. Last year she elected
another wet governor and sent a wet
senator to Washington.

Their Uniforms Prominent at Presentation of “Sam-
By PIERRE V. R. KEY.
New York Dee. B.—Football and
music appeared rather closely finked
on the evening the Army and Navy
played their tie game at our IJplo
Grounds. Seeing the Middies and the
Cadets in the Metropolitan Opera
House during the season's second per-
formance of "Samson et Dalila” must
have been gratifying to those who be-
lieve there should lie a bond between
aesthetics and brawn ano muscle. -It
suggested also the part music played
in the late .World war. when strains of
classic compositions were often heard
* • • in the trenches at the front as
well as in the training camps whore
our boys were chafing to get "over
there.” We remember well a story
Josef Hoffman once told us. He had
been asked by a certain general in the
United States army if he would play
a recital program at one of the Penn-
sylvania camps. Hoffman explained
that he was more than willing but —
and the pianist hesitated. Persuaded
by the officer Jo kept his engagement
and it turned out to be one of the
outstanding success of his career. It
appears that among his many auditors
were numerous musicians and still
more discriminating musically inclincu
who encouraged Hofmann to play
works he would have offered to a
New York assemblage.
The Samson representation referred
to caught the approval of those of-
ficers-in-the-making who picked opera
for their evening's outing in prefer-
ence to some Broadway show where
girls and laughter predominate.
The interesting side of the perform-
ance from one standpoint was the
firM appearance here of Jeanne Gor-
don in the role of the ancient lady
who everted her wiles and ►ibsequent-
ly a pair of sharp shears upon the
muscular man of Biblical times. Miss
Gordon scored two hits: one for her-
self. and another for the Americaii
artist. She was vocally excellent fnr
more effective dramatically than some
Itililns we have seen and visually
charming to behold. We didn't blam-
Samson in the least 'for succumbing
to this particular temptress.
A Planistic Talent.
Very few people had ever heard of
Gitta Gradova. She had done nothing
pianistically which had gotten prom-
inently into print and. then she was
so young. But soon after she settled
down to playing her introductory re-
cital a few afternoons ago in Towa
Hall it was evident that the little
visitor with the dynamic temperament
(she hails from Toronto we believe'
bad something to offer.
In these days of pianists galore it
requires something very much more
than "excellence” to keep the discern-
ing listener from assuming a bored
expression of countenance before the
opening composition on a program
has been finished. - There is an abund-
ance of technique held up for consid-
eration and interpretative ability in
which time and rhythm ’nd good taste
prevail. But the spark that compels
and thereafter holds the attention is
quite another matter.
So when Miss Gradova came before
us. and played with spontaneous fresh
ness. the more expert portion of het
audience sat up in theii seats. She
had verve and temperament. She
had also individuality. Now she i« to
give another recital and several alert
managers nre ready to consider her
as an asset for their own welfare as
well as for her own.
Members of the board <f the Nation-
al Federation of^Music Clubs having
finished their mirFwinter sessions here
have returned -tn their respect ire
homes with a dd-or-die expression in
their faces. Mrs. John F. Lyons pres-
ident of the organizatior; first res-
ident Mrs. Cecil Frankel; Miss Nan
Stephens president of the southern
district and Mrs. John F. Stapleton
and Mrs- William Arms Fisher were
some of the leaders who came to New
York determined to carry through a
program that would puF the federa-
tion in a stronger position than it
ever has been.
Shortly after Tannhauser hadi
THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
works the New Jersey police of late
have probably the most active of any
state in the country in running down
the hooch-hounds. Some of the boot-
leggers have been positively indignant
nt the Jersey troopers. They expected
ill-treatment from the federal prohi-
bition officers but that the troopers
of the wettest state in the union should
turn thumbs down and start hauling in
the pirates was a blow from an un-
explained quarter. It has upset many
of the bootleg plans. It has made
liquor hauling more dangerous than
ever and hence is likely to send the
price of the best imported up another
notch or two.
Troopers Lino Pike.
The bootleggers once looked upon
White Horse pike between Atlantic
City and Philadelphia ns their white
way. White Horse pike and White
Horse cellar scotch wire almost syn-
onymous terms. Bnt alas the pike is
now infested with state troopers from
one end to the other and the poor
bootleggers can't get by with even a
dozen or so cases stowed away in his
expensive limousine. The troopers say
that lately the bootleggers have been
paying women to accompany them on
tbeir trips thus attempting to allay
suspicion. The women frequently got
as high ns $25 for a ride of 50 miles
or so. Now that the cops have taking
to arresting the women ns particeps
eriminis and holding them in heavy
bail along with the main bootleggers
the custom is not likely to be so pop-
ular.
The Jersey police claim they are
catching far more liquor criminals
than their colleagues across the border
in Pennsylvania where a dry governor
reigns at Harrisburg. The Pennsyl-
vania constabulary reply that there is
a reason for this. There nre so mnny
more bootleggers in Jersey to be
caught.
Meantime the eastern wets nre ask-
ing themselves what chance they have
when a state like New Jersey turns
on the "trade” and concentrates all
its troopers in an attempt to stop the
heavy holiday shipments thnt the out-
law merchants were planning to put
across.

shown his lack of appreciation of
Elisabeth (at the first representa-
tion of this opera we were given at
the Metropolitan this year) and about
Ibe time people were stili visualizing
the picture Maria Jeritza made in
this for her sympathetic role we
learned of the intention Io make some
changes next summer in the interior
of the opera house.
There are to be more seats for the
public which now has difficulty in
buying them because of the limited
supply. It is an interest.ng situation.
Once upon a time you couldn't drag
some fqlk to the opera ; now they arc
fighting to get in. It is the intention
(though official confirmation is yet
lacking) we understand to take out
the grand tier of boxes just above
the parterre known as the diamond
horseshoe and to replace these boxes
with several rows of chairs.
As recent performances of “Car-
men.” “Boris Godunoff” "Tosca.”
“Romeo and Juliet” and "Mefistofele ’
were given there arose pictures in the
mind of days when seats lor the Met-
ropolitan could be had for the asking.
General Manager Gatti-Casazza has
made the most of bis opportunities.
He is always nlert to give his sub-
scribers something to keep their inter-
est alive. The new "Carmen” produc-
tion of Joseph Urban is one of the
newest tidbits to provide a topic for
conversation for it is by ail odds the
most colorful the- most elaborate nnc
the most original array »f settings the
Bizet has been dressed with.
The Metropolitan continues with its
fine artistic standard. There ale so
many excellences such a fine mise-en
scene nnd so superior an ensemble
that one is willing to forgive the weak
spots which now and again crop up
to disturb thosd who expect from Gat-
ti’s organization an unvarying achieve-
ment regardless of the difficulties
with which every impresario must con-
tend.
Some Vocal Endeavors.
Good singing is always welcome. We
get it. occasionally at the opera but
far oftener is it to be heard on ths
concert platform. Conditions are more
propitious where the song itself and
the singing are the highlights. Two
outstanding recitals of the past few
days have been the two recitals bv
Margaret d'Alvarez the Peruvian con
tralto and Louis Graveure. a baritone
whose place becomes steadily more
firmly assured.
Mme. d'Alvarez was once so move"
by temperament that she rarely gave
her auditors a sense of that tranquili-
ty which one likes to have for the
sake of contrast. The past two years
have found her becoming quieter when
the vocal requirements called for
calmness. and this recital was the best
sho has thus far sung.
Graveure is nearly always the per-
fectly controlled artist. He sang with
that cool intellectual contro’ which is
his conspicuous asset and among the
compositions on his program to be
commenced was the cycle of Indian
songs by Treharne —a series of pieces
of wide contrast all of which the bari-
tone sang from memory and with great
respect for light and shade.
There have be^n plenty of other re
citalists: some of them good others
fairly good and a number who never
should have sung at all. The pianists
and violinists have likewise been ac-
tive. The New York Oratorio Society’s
first performance of the current sea-
son brought "Elijah” before a large
gathering and Graveure sang the mu-
sic of the prophet with splendid digni-
ty and feeling. Conductor Albert
ijtoessel. the chorus and the orchestra
sustained their portions admirably
and the American tenor. Richard
Crooks found plenty of tpplause after
each of his solos.

■ ANIMALS
DISCUSSED IN
ANNUAL REPORT
Quartermaster General Says
Horses and Mules
Too Old.
NEED NEW LIFE
Constitutes Grave Problem
Secretary of War
Is Told.
The question of animal transporta-
tion constitutes one of the gravest
problems with which the anny has to
contend nt the present time according
to Maj. Gen. WiHiam H. Hart Quar-
termaster general of the army. In bis
annual report recently submitted to
the Secretary of War the quartermas-
ter general states that after the four-
teenth or fifteenth year there is n rapid
decline in the physical nctivlties of
army animals and that if no young
animals are supplied the nrmy for-the
nezh two years practically two-thirds
of the horses and mules then in use
will have reached that nge.
In revealing the condition of nrmy
animals to the Secretary of War Gen-
eral Hart uses figures based on a re-
cent survey ‘of the ages of horses nnd
mules in the Eighth Corps Aren. He
states that as one-third of the animals
in the army are with units station..!
in this corns area the figure* obtained
of the condition of animals throughout
the*entire army.
The survey shows that 27 per cent
of the horses with tactical organiza-
tions in this corps area are over 14
years old and 70 per cent are 11 years
old and upward. Horses 10 years old
and upward constitute 83.5 per cent
of the totpl number in this corps area.
The nge scale of mules in this corps
area is somewhat similar with 30 per
cent being 14 years old nnd upward.
In the Eighth Corps Area then' nre
8050 horses with tactical organizations
and 3911 mules.
General Snow’s Report.
Maj. Gen. William J. Snow chief of
field artillery in his annual report to
the Secretary of War indicates even n
more serious condition than General
Hart with respect to nrmy animals.
According to General Snow the animal
strength of the field artillery is only
71 per cent of the minimum number
required under the peace strength
tables of organization.
The chief of field artillery predicts
that unless'funds are obtained from
the present Congress for animal re-

placements the field artillery will be
forced to further reduce the number of
animals by an amount equivalent to
the dismounting of two regiments of
divisional artillery. He further .states
that while this reduction will not be
concentrated the entire horse-drawn
field artillery will be almost immobil-
ized. Already individual mounts have
been reduced 20 per cent and much
roiling equipment has been left in stor-
age because of a lack of sufficient ani-
mals.
With respect to constructive work
being carried on by the Quartermaster
Corps General Hart reports that an
investigation of the resources of the
country in materials and manufactur-
ing facilities is being made in connec-
tion with the working out of a plan
for the conversion of each quartermas-
ter article of supply into terms of raw
or finished material. The final phase
of this work will be an organization
set up in a theoretical manner pre-
pared to meet whatever demands of a
procurement nature may be made upon
the Quartermaster Corps in an emerg-
ency.
When this work is completed the
quartermaster general’s office will
have a complete commercial index and
inventory of the country and can de-
termine how much raw materials can
be furnished by certain sections and
how many articles of finished products
can be turned out in a given time by
individual concerns.
Have Motor Plan. .
Investigation is also being carried
on by all services of the quartermaster
general’s office with a view of meeting
the demands In an emergency for per-
sonnel. supply transportation and con-
struction.
The plan of motor transportation
over the entire United States worked
out by the Quartermaster Corps repre-
sents’one of the most elaborate works
works of the service. Maps and plans
have been developed in each corps area
and these corps area maps have been
co-ordinated and embodied in a single
map of the United States for use in
the War Department.
This national motor transport map
primarily establishes a definite plau
for th edevelopment of highway trans-
portation for the military service and
also forms a basic plan for developing
highway transportation in commerce in
relation to existing and projected rail-
way waterway and highway systems.
As complete co-ordination of all trans-
portation facilities throughout the
country including terminal and port
operations is contemplated with the
object of establishing general traffic
control over all passenger and freight
movements connected with mobiliza-
tion the national motor transport map
is in effect a co-ordinating plan for all
other plans requiring movement as far
as national defense is concerned.
The average cost of the ration dur-
ing the fiscal year 1923 was 29.78
cents which was 2.90 cents less than
the cost of the ration for the previous
fiscal year. On October 11 the War
Department adopted a new reserve ra-
tion which taken the place of the pres-
ent reserve and emergency rations. It
.consists of two individual meals which
are packed in tin containers that- are

greatest return but also by eliminat-

a negro who weighs 230 pounds in
training is 20 years old. 0 feet 4
inches tall and lias tin 84 inch retch.
Baker has been kept tinder covey for
eighteen months undergoing special
training and grooming for a profes-
sional ring career—all at the expense
of the great film star who believes lio
has a champion of champions unner
his wing.
The discovery of Baker makes a
dramatic story. He blew into film-
land from Oklahoma and was lucky
enough to land at a time when dusky
persons were in demand to play parts
in “The Thief of Bagdad.” Baker
was selected at once by the casting
director to play the part of an African
chief.
Fairbanks saw him and was so im-
pressed by the man's gigantic size bis
grace of movement and bis youth that
he turned him over to a professional
boxing instructor for an opinion tis 10
bis natural ability.
The report was good and the tietoe
decided to finance his education as a
fighter. For nearly two years Baker
has been working with the greatest en-
thusiasm and in the past three months
in eight private tryouts ngain.-t
“ham” professional heavyweights. Ba-
ker is said to have won five of the
Roes with first-round knockouts an-1
three with knockouts in the second
round.
Critical observers of ring affairs
have looked Baker over and believe
that he shows a lot more than did
Harry Wills when the “Brown Pan-
ther” was making a reputation out’on
the west coast. His education has
been completed and the chances are
that he will shortly come East to
show his wares to the fans.
