MR. MOORE TO
BUILD THEATRE
WILL FRONT ON AVENUE C AND
TRAVIS STREET IT IS
REPORTED
PLANS IN THE MAKING
Local Architect Visited Eastern Cities
to Get Ideas and Is Now Working
Night and Day on Drawings.
/. local architect is working night
and day on plans for the new combina-
tion hotel and theatre to be erected
on the property recently purchased by
G. Bedell Moore at the corner of Av-
enue C and Travis street. When seen
by a reporter for The Light this morn-
ing the architect absolutely refused to
give anything out for publication and
said that he had strict orders to keep
the plans secret for the present and
therefore he could give no statement
to the public.
From other reliable sources how-
ever it was learned that this same ar-
chitect had recently visited eastern cit-
ies and had studied the plans of up-to-
date play houses and hotels and had
returned to San Antonio with splendid
ideas of the kind of a structure that
should be erected here.
It Is understood the new building
will be a seven-story affair and it will
be bounded by Avenue C Travis St.
and Avenue D. An alley will inter-
vene between the new structure and
the present Moore building. The hotel
structure will take up the Avenue D
and Travis street portion while the
theatre entrance will be on the corner
of Avenue C and Travis street.
It is the intention of Mr. Moore to
install an electric light plant and heat-
ing apparatus in the cellars of the
building a g well as an independent
water supply for both structures. With
this end In view well drillers are al-
ready at work on the property drilling
for an artesian well.

MORALES TO
MAKE DIVE
FIREMAN TO ATTEMPT FEAT AT
WHICH OSCAR SMITH MET
HIS DEATH.
SEES “EASY MONEY”
He Will Get $5O for Act and Declares
He Will Be Doing Better Than
Does John D. Rockefeller.
Charles Morales a member of the
San Antonio fire department has en-
tered into a contract with Dr. Carver
to ride one of the horses from the high
platform at the Electric park next Sat-
urday afternoon at 3.30 o’clock as the
animal makes the perilous leap into
the pool of water. Charley is a San
Antonio boy and with the exception of
the "Girl in Red” and the late Oscar
Smith who met his death in making
the dive is the first in the United
States to undertake to make the leap.
Charley has been anxious to make the
dive ever since the great Carver show
reached the city. He regards the leap
a mere pasttime and sees no danger in
it. When seen by a reported today at
the central fire station Charley was
jubilant
“No I am not afraid to make the
leap” he said in answer to a question.
"Neither do I care whether they put
straps on the horse or not for me to
hold to. I will ride that horse and
stay on his back until he steps out of
the water. As long as the hair does
not slip I will stay with him.” *
Charley considers making the dive
the easiest thing in the world.
"Why." said he "just think I will
be making money faster than John D.
Rockefeller. I am to get $5O for about
two or three seconds of work and I
guess that is making some money.
That will certainly be what I call 'easy
money.’ ”
Charley says he will make the leap
on "Little Powder Face.’’ He says he
will not don any uniform other than
a pair of trousers and a shirt waist.
When he mounts the horse for the
leap he proposes to get a good grip on
the horse’s mane and lock his feet be-
neath the fore shoulders of the animal.
He says that then it will make little
difference whether or not the horse
turns over he will remain oil the
horse “just like he was built on there.”
Charley Morales is a well known
San Antonio boy a thorough athlete
and for daring and recklessness he has
no superiors. When the fire depart-
ment several years ago purchased the
life saving net he was the first to
make a leap Into it from a building.
His first leap was from a three-story
building and later the highest build-
ings in the city. The only reason he
did not leap from a seven or eight sto-
ry building Into the net was there
were no such buildings in the city. Tn
fighting fires he is considered one nf
the most efficient and will enter any
burning structure regardless of dan-
ger. He seems to know no fear and
making of the leap from a forty-foot
platform holds no terror for him.
DR. J. W. HARWELL BETTER.
Dr. J. W. Harwell who has been
confined to his home the past several
days with the grippe is able to be
back at his office again.

IS WILLIAMS
THE ROBBER?
MAN HELD BY SHERIFF TOBIN
•AYS HE IS BUT GIVES
HO DETAILS.
HE ROBBED TRAIN?
That Is Another of His Claims —Does
Not Want to Talk Because He’ll Get
Hla Name in the Newspapers
Clarence Williams who claims to
have robbed San Antonio to the
queen's taste during February and
who was examined by Sheriff Tobin
yesterday has so far revealed nothing
which will tend to establish bls claim
to that distinction. He told Sheriff
Tobin that he did not want to talk too
much as it would get his name in the
papers and attract too much attention
to himself. He says he has robbed a
train in his time and does not want
to get in the limelight
The penitentiary authorities have
agreed to permit him to remain in
jail here for four or five days until
the agent comes through on his next
round. Meanwhile Williams is being
given nice treatment at the jail. The
main desire of the sheriff is to secure
the return of the goods stolen though
it is now thought that Williams knows
no more about the robberies than the
general public.
