W. L De Baum Was
Elected Public Weigh-
er at Last Election
ALL SURPRISED
County Chairman Oppenheimer
Knew Nothing About it. Until
Told of it by County Clerk
Reason of Election ia that Two Weigh-
Vs Had to Be Chosen and the
Democrats Only Put One
Candidate in Field.
The official count of the last elec-
tion was completed thia morning and
certificates of election will be handed
over to the newly elected officers at
once.
Among the things unearthed during
the count is that one republican candi-
date on the county ticket was elect-
ed. A. C. Rose and W. L. Deßauni
were both elected for the very good
reason that two public weighers are
to be elected in Bexar County. This
fact apparently escaped notice all
round when tickets were being made
up. The democrats knew nothing of
it and the republicans were also in
the dark.
Chairman Julius Oppenheimer was
told about the matter this morning
when he appeared at the court house
to file his expense account. He was
quite as much surprised as anyone
else. He ’phoned the news to Mr. De-
Baum. He says he can see a show-
ing for the money he spent in the
campaign now even it it was a
judgment by default.
Chairman Bass of the democratic
executive committee was asked by a
Light reporter how it happened. He
said firstly that It did not occur to
him at the time that two weighers
were to be elected in Bexar County
and that as only one man applied for
a place on the ticket. Mr. Ross the
present incumbent nothing could be
done about it. The executive com-
mittee had no authority to put a man
on the ticket under the circumstances.

FLYING MACHINES TO BE
MORE COMMON THAN AUTOS
Santo Dumont Talks of Time When Aeroplanes Will be Poor Man’s
Vehicle-—Says Cost Will be Small and Danger Very Little.
Will be no Tires to Burst and no Roads to Jolt
Associated Press
Paris. Nov. 14. —Dumont since the
successful flight of bls aeroplane the
Bird of Prey talks enthusiastically
of the early approach of the day when
all mankind will be navigating the
air and when flying machines will be
more common than automobiles. In-
deed. he thinks that the dying ma-
chine will eventually become the "poor
man's'' automobile be Hafer faster and
cheaper. In an Interview the other
day he said:
Dumont's Views.
"The machine | am experimenting
with Is very large having a surface
of 80 square metres but the practical
aeroplane which will be for the atr
what the democratic bicycle is for the
earth will be much smaller. With
ordinary flying machines It Is neces-
sary to increase the site In order to
increase power. With the aeroplane
on the contrary speed will he fncreas.
e<j in direct proportion to the diminu-
tion of the resistance surface. My
present aeroplane was Intentionally
built large enough to overcome the
main obstacles as to principles. Bitt
with increased power which means
speed the size can be reduced. At the
same time increased speed adds to
the safety as a powerful motor Is
more easily manipulated. We can.
therefore look forward to a practical
aeroplane which can be comfortably
housed in every home.
DELUGE OF QUESTIONS ON
THE RAILROAD RATE BILL
Interstate Commerce Commission Swamped With Them and the Outcome
of Whole Affair May be That People Will Try Bryan’s Government
Ownership--The New Law Presents Many New Phases
Associated Press.
Chicago. 111. Nov. 14. —A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Learnedly as congress discussed the
new railroad rate law. it used language
in the statute capable of sc many dif-
ferent interpretations that the inter-
state commerce commission. 's almost
swamped by the deluge of questions
pouring in upon I*- dally.
It has become evident that the com-
mission and courts will make govern-
ment regulation of railroad rates a
failure or a success and If it be the
former members of the commission
fear the remedy the people probably
will try will be that of government
ownership of transportation facilities
which William J. Bryan advocated In
his New York speech and which war.

Vice-President.

"From the standpoint of malnesn
ance. the cost both of petroleum and
repairs of the aeroplane will be mucn
less than the automobile car. There
will be no expensive tires to burst
and no bad roads to jolt them to
pieces. There will be no collisions.
Next year people will be able to go to
the seas ore on their aeroplanes it
will become the fad and commence-
ment of a new Industry-"
"What of the danger?"
Only a Little Danger.
"The only danger would be the risk
of a broken rudder and I cannot see
that r. rudder could break itself. The
principal difficulty while the matter
remains In the exuerlmc-ntal stage
would of course be hard to control
the supplementary rudders while the
hands are otherwise engaged. My In-
tention to attach the yoke ropes to
my neck and maintain the equilibrium

head.

partly responsible for democratic de-
feat in the late campaign.
Because government economists are
firmly convinced that government own-
ershp will retard rather than assist the
I rogi.ss of th count! j. :hey are im-
pressing ui>on the commission the
necessity of wise interpretation of
various provisions of the railroad rate
law.
The law presents so manv new
phases of the transportation problem
creating practically a revolution in
the carrying business that the commis-
i slon feels ft must go slow and be sura
of its ground before rendering decis-
ions.
The commission Is giving various
questions which have arisen Its most
careful attention hut there Is no doubt
the carriers w'll appear the most Im-
.portant to the courts.

Paris Nov. 14. —Counters Cas-

was today granted a divorce and the
custody of her children who however
will not be allowed to be taken from
France wlhtout the consent of Count
Boni de Castellane their father.
The end ot the lamovs case came
suddenly. Th-* court brushed aside
the demand of the count's lawyer
for the examination of witnescs and.
as anticipated the’ public prosecutor
did not even ask to be beard.
As soon as the court assembled
Judge Dltte handed down the Judg-
ment. which is a sweeping victory for
the countess in granting the petition
for divorce the court gave the coun-
tess custody of her children the count
being allowed only mutual rights to
see them and they are in control of
their mother as is also th»lr educa-
tion. which WM contested The count
Is given the right to see the children
; at stated periods at the home of their
grandmother and to keep them a
month annually during the holidays.
The count's demand for an "alien-
ary allo<vance of 860.000 annu J'v was
pronounced by the court to be without
foundation in law’’ and was rejected.
The only point decided in the count's
favor was the Imposition of the inhi-
bition on the countcss to take the chil-
dren out of France without their fath-
er's consent.
The co irt appointed the president of
the chamber of notaries to liquidate
the affairs of husband and wife
The Judgment was given with the
costs against the count.
The decree the reading of which
hardly consumed five minutes was de-
livered by the Judge In a voice so low
ns to be practically inaudible to the
eager crowd filling the court room.
Mhny women climbed up on chairs in
their efforts to hear the decision and
when the divorce was granted they
seemed actuallv to resent th« loss of a
public trial at which people In high so-
ciety would be compelled to testify.

BECAUSE OF LACK OF WATER
PRESSURE FLAMES BURNED
Special to The Light.
Yoakum Tex. Nov. 14. —At 1 p. m.
yesterday the fire alarm was sounded.
The fire burned down two cottages
belonging to T. M. Dodd and the
wind was so strong that sparks were
carried two blocks away and set fire
to the old Union hotel building. There
were several sheds in adjoining lots
burned before the firemen had time
to get their hose In shape.
The second house burned down af-
cr the firemen were ready to protect
It but owing to the lack of water pres-
mre. the stream was so light it could
>arely reach the top of the one story
louse. The fire on the Union hotel
■oof was put out by blankets and a
racket brigade as the water pressure
vas too low to reach.
Great Indignation Ie expressed over
he lack of pressure given by the wa-
er company as two of these buildings
•ould have been saved had the com-
pany furnished the water. The fire
