Mr Boldt replied that he did not

The Tipping Evil
Ed. R. Holland chairman of the
committee on hotels submitted rc-
rorts on the “tipping evil" and also
on the "fire escape" bills now pend-
ing before the legislature. Referring
to the “tipping ovil” Mr. Holland
said that while he aid not expect the
practice would be entirely eliminated
the constant hammering would nave
a tendency to greatly reduce it to
such a small scale that it would hard-
Iv be noticeable. He said “that as
the tips increase the salaries de-
crease.”
He stated that the bill against the
"tipping evil” introduced by Gilmore
and Thomas was looked upon by
manv as a joke. He declared the bill
was Introduced In all seriousness and
that since the committee had repor’-
ed favorably upon it there was some
hope of it finally developing into a
law He said that if it were but to
effect a partial reform it would be
beneficial. He reported that he ha«i
received many letters and complaint)
about the "tipping evil” and that an
E. H. COOMBS HE
GETS THE BUSINESS
Edwin H. Coombs Commercial Agent Missouri Kansas & Texas of Texas.
The third picture of terminal rail-
road officials who are prominent in
the public eye is that ot Edwin H.
Coombs commercial agent of the Mis-
souri Kansas and Texas of Texas
with headquarters in this city. This
official came to San Antonio January
1 1903 and is popular in local rall-
w'ay circles. He is widely known
throughout the state as he served as
a freight official at Houston and later
at Galveston.
In business circles he has the confi-
dence of all he comes in contact with
on account of his courteous dealings
with all and he has also made a bit
with all of his fellow railway officials.
When Mr. Coombs came to San An-
tonio the Katy was handling only 150
cars of vegetables during the season
but since that time the business has
steadily increased until the company
now handles 1500 cars. He is well
chairman of tile hotel committee he
rad attended to each and that in every
case the practice had been abolished.
A motion made by Mr. Holland that
Representatives Gi'more and Thomas
be sent communications endorsing'
their bill and promising the support
of the T. P. A. prevailed.
Mr. Holland next took up the ques-
tion of fire escapes. He announced
that tho bill now pending before the
legislature providing tbat every hotel
rooming or apartment house of two
stories or more be properly supplied
iwht fire escapes hud been favorably
reported upon by the committee. He
Mated that the bill now pending was
exactly like the one he had proposed
and cited instances where many lives
were lost in hoten and apartment
houses for the reason that only one
fire escape was built on the place. He
advocated the erection of two or more
fire escapes on different sides of a ho-
tel or apartment house. Should the
bill pass it would not go into effect
until next September he said and
would give all sufficient time to com-
ply with the law. Mr. Holland “Stated
that the organization was indebted to
the legislature for its action in be-
half of the fire escape bill and voted
a letter of thanks to the body.
J. W. Graves chairman ot the com-
mittee ofl railroads being absent D.
W. Michaux of the. committee made
the following report:
"To C. S. Horton President and Mem-
bers of the Board of Directors Tex-
as Division T. P. A.
Gentlemen:
“Your railroad committee begs to
: report some degree of progress in their
efforts to aid in securing better rail-
road service and rates.
"We are glad to say that since the
railroad commission promulgated its
recent order requiring railroad com-
panies to run passenger trains more
nearly on time than have been their
custom they have maintained a very
satisfactory adherence to schedules.
This ruling became absolutely neces-
sary to protect the interests ot the lo-
cal traveling public which for many
months had. been tn an unwarranted
manner flagrantly ignored. While the
rule requiring trains to leave termin-
als not more than 80 minutes later
than their advertised time for de-
parture may in exceptional instances
work a hardship on through travel es-
pecially if railroad companies seize op.
portunitie sto render the rule obnox-
ious with a view to Its repeal it is a
daily permanent boon to the thousands
of local travelers whose time Is too
valuable to be wasted in the unprofit-
able occupation of depot loitering.
"In order to strengthen the ruling
of the commission a bill is pending
in the legislature along these lines
which we trust will be enacted into
law.
The Two Cent Rate.
“Our main efforts have been center-
ed in the enactment of a flat two cent
passenger fare for Texas and we are
pleased to report that this measure

versed in the vegetable traffic and the
head officials have full confidence in
his ability to get his share of all busi-
ness in sight. The Katy has grown
with San Antonio and this section.
Mr. Coombs was born September 7
1869. He graduated from the public
schools and at Ogden college Bowb.ig
Green Ky. From January 1890 to
1896 he was secretary and treasurer
of the Evansville & Bowling Green
Packet Co. in charge of traffic at
Bowling Green Ky. He entered the
railway service in 1896 as clerk in the
office of the assistant general freight
agent of the Missouri Kansas & Texas
railway at Houston Texas since which
he has been consecutively December
1 1897 to December 1 1898 contract-
ing agent at Galveston Texas; Decem-
ber 1 1898 to August 15 1900. com-
merciakagent at Dallas Texas; August
15 1900 to January 1 1903 commer-
cial agent at Denison Texas.
has been reported favorably by the
committee of both branches of the
legislature. We believe that no other
bill has met and is destined to meet
j with more varied and bitter opposi-
tion than this. It is but natural that
the organized agencies of the corpota-
tions should be put to work to defeat
this measure but we admit surprise
that open opposition should come from
other sources claiming to be acting in
the interests of the people conspicu-
ously among which we mention the
‘San Antonio Board of Trade’ the
‘Houston Business Iteague of the Not-
su-oh Directors’ and some of the news-
papers of the state. Upon some re-
flection we are not surprised at the
attitude of the two first mentioned
forces and conclude that the most
charitable construction to be placed
upon their action is that tney have
simply been buffaloed' by the railroad
agents into the belief that a two cent
rate will sound a death knell to the
concessions annually made to their
fairs and carnivals. Conceding that
danger to these organizations lurks in
the two cent spook we fail to see the
justice in taxin gthe traveling public
all the year for the benefit of these
local enterprises—however worthy
said enterprise may be —we however
do not share in the alarm at threaten-
ed annualment of excursion conces-
sion. for we still believe that excur-
sions are run by the railroads for
their own benefit in the primary sec-
ondary and tertiary degree. And we
further believe that If these same di-
rectors will continue to furnish the
' elegant attractions the transportation
companies will continue to ‘benevo-
lently grant' low rates and whoop up
the numerous 'Last Excursion' just as
1 long as the public has the price. We
1 believe they will do this whether the
' regular passenger fare is two cents or
1 five cents.
"As to the motives impelling the
newspapers to fight the reduction we
will say we do not know or if we do
know we are not going to say. We.
however further believe that our sena-
tors and representatives will give this
matter deep consideration and are not
goin gto allow the public welfare to
b esacrificed or taxed for the benefit
of local interests We call your atten-
tion to the fact that the traffic man-
ager of all the sunse tlfnes was the
kin gof last year's Not-su-oh carnival.
A most elegant and worthy gentleman
but it would b eunusual to look for
support of railroad legislation from
this source. Nor is it difficult to un-
derstand the action of the San Antonio
Board ot Trade In passing the anti-
two cent resolution when one is con-
versant with the names on its mem-
bership roll. We further believe that
the newspapers of the state are entit-
led to the ‘privilege ot contract for
advertising in exchange for railroad
transportation.
“Upon these and other matters we
will make further report to you at the
El Paso state convention.

TERR BLE EFFECTS OF DEADLY “GRIP.”
PHYSICIAN ADVISES PROMPT ACTION
Richmond Ind.—The grip epidemic
has rendered two men Insane John
Hart was placed in a sanitarium also
Jonas Carter who became very violent.
Col. M. B. Bollard died yesterday. This
brings the fatalities up to fifty-seven
in a month. A prominent physician
has published a statement that influ-
enza or grip is one of the easiest trou-
bles to cure if taken in time but if al-
lowed to linger will frequently take a
disastrous trun on short notice. The
treatment is very simple; stimulate
the blood circulation; heal the mucous
membranes and keep the bowels nor-
mal. For this he advises the use ot
what is known as the Greek formula.
This is as follows: “Two ounces of
glycerine; half ounce Concentrated oil
of pine; eight ounces of good whiskey
or Jamacia rum; mix in a ten ounce
bottle and shake thoroughly and use in
tablespoon doses every four hours.”
These ingredients can be obtained
from any good prescription druggist.
The only care necessary is to be sure
to get the genuine “Concentrated" oil
of pine. It always comes put up for
dispensing in half ounce vials each
enclosed in a screw top case which
ported favorably impressed with the
reports of the various committees and
that while in Austin he rendered the
representatives all assistance possible.
He stated that the T. P. A. is having
its weight on legislation and had made
its influence felt by President Roose-
velt who he said had in a public
speech given just credit to the T. P.
A. for the establishment of the de-
partment ot labor and commerce. He
stated that the T. P. A. had entered
the fight for a two cent railroad rate
and that everything was looking fav-
orable. He stated that the law-makers
at Austin which were recognizing the
T. P. A. who he said was doing more
to bring about the results mentioned
than any other faction. He paid a high
tribute to the marked enthusiasm of
the members.
On motion of D. W. Michaux the
directors called upon L. T. Laßeaume
national secretary for an address Mr.
Michaux stating that Mr. Laeßauine
was a candidate to succeed himself
at the state convention to be held next
month at El Paso. Mr. Leßeaume
dwelt upon the first organization of
the T. P. A. of which he had been
the national secretary for many years.
He stated that he did not propose to
make a speech to influence votes in
his behalf but would let his years of
service which if honestly and faithful-
ly performed as the voters would be
the judges speak for itself. His re-
marks were loudly applauded.
The meetins was then declared ad-
journed until 8 o’clock at which time
the directors and national officers to-
gether with the many other members
assembled at the club rooms and at 9
o’clock repaired to the banquet hall
where a reception was tendered Secre-
tary Sachs who for the past fifteen
years has been the secretary of Post
D. During the banquet music was ren-
dered at Intervals. Speech-making
and toasts were delivered.
At the Banquet.
The address of welcome was deliver-
ed by A. D. James president of Post
D and was responded to by C. Q.
Horton president of the Texas divis-
ion. Congressman James Slayden was
a guest of honor. He addressed the
directors and being a member o/ the
organization spoke at length upon i's
influence.

NEW PLACE FOR HAWKS.
Special to The Light
Houston Tex. Mhrch 16. —This
evening G. F. Hawks general
intendant of the Central East and
West Texas lines confirmed the re-
port of his resignation.
He has accepted a position as man-
ager of the El Paso Southwestern
road succeeding H. J. Simmons pro-
moted to be general manager of the
Phelps-Dodge interests.
Hawks is one of the best known
and most popular railroad men in

keeps out the light and retains all the
original ozone. Don’t make the mis-
take of getting any of the oils sold
in bulk patent medicines put on the
market in some localities and called
“Oil of Pine.” The "Concentrated”
oil of pine is also used by mixing it
with hot lard and rubbing on the chest
and throat. It will prove very effec-
tive.
Just what causes the “grip” has
never been fully determined but scien-
tists seem to generally agree on the
germ theory. However it is very evi-
dent that any thing that stimulates
and strengthens the mucous mem-
branes succeeds immediately in com-
bating the disease. The active princi-
ple of pine has been since the days of
the ancients acknowledged as the
greatest stimulant and healer for the
mucous membrane and the modern
product "Concentrated” oil of pine
when used according to the above for-
mula works wonders on these mem-
branes of the nose throat and lungs.
The worst feature of “grip” is that if
not quickly checked will lead Into
pneumonia and hasty consumption as
well as many other complications fre-
quently wrecking the nervous system.
