WHERE DID THESE
LADS GET “BOOZE”
Boys 16 and 17 Testify They
Were Intoxicated When
Arrested.
More evidence that small bays can
get whiskey and beer freely was in-
troduced in the corporation court this
mormng when Lester Elkins aged 16
years and Ollie Jones aged 17 swore
that they were drunk wgen they dis-
turbed the peace last night. Each was
fined $5 but on their pleas that they
would reform and never again be
brought into police court sentence
was suspended after Judge Buckley
had delivered a severe lecture on boys
drinking intoxicants.
From the testimony of the arresting
officer. Detective Womack it appears
that the two youths w6re raising a
general disturbance on Houston street
last night at 9 o’clock. He at once ar-
rested them and asked their ages.
They both said that they were over
age. but this morning they broke down
and told the court that they had tried
to "fool” Mr. Womack. Both pleaded
with the court that they be released
saying that they would go to work at
once and never bother the police
again. After his lecture Judge Buck-
ley allowed them to go.
rested last night and had further
caused the policemen to believe that
his leg was broken for which they
summoned a physician to treat bim.
Prior to being arrested he had fallen
off a street car after paying his fare
so that the trouble that he got into
cost him the fine hack bill street car
fare besides what he donated toward
the maintenance of the saloons he pre-
viously visited. Judge Buckley fined
him $3 this morning and he had to pay
in addition the hackman who brought
the physician to the police station. The
charge was drunkenness.

Find for Wife Beating.
One of the most severe lectures
ever administrated by Judge Buckley
in the corporation court was given to
Laurino Yanos this morning when he
appeared before the bar charged with
beating his wife. The court stated
that should the man ever again appear
in his court he would be sent to a
higher tribunal of justice and there
probably be made to pay a large fine
or g> to jailT” As it was Yanos was
fined $lO. From the testimony of his
wife it appeared that the man came
home in an intoxicated condition and
struck her. The trouble occurred at 7
o’clock this morning. She at once tele-
phoned for the police and the man was
arrested. When asked by Prosecutor
Garza to make a statement the man
declined.

DIGS UP HIS YARD
TO FIND BURIED GOLD
San Antonian Tells Remark-
able Story to the Police
Court.
A tale of buried treasure and of the
digging up of a plat of land at 924
South Laredo street in an effort
to find it was told in the corporation
court this morning to the interested
judge attaches and spectators. The
case was that of A. G. Vogt charged
■with digging a vault without permis-
sion from the proper city authorities.
He denied the charge saying that he
dug for gold.
The gold is supposed to have been
planted years ago and Vogt claims to
have known in a general way of its
hiding place for years but did not
know of the exact location. In his ef-
forts to find it he has dug four holes in
his yard and says that he will find
the elusive precious metal if he has
to dig his whole place up.
He stated to the court that he did
not especially need the gold until the
money stringency struck the country
but since then he thought it would be
a good idea to locate it so that if the
worst came he would be prepared.
His case was continued until Wed-
nesday so that he can bring witnesses
to testify that he was really looking
for gold and not disobeying a city or-
dinance.
He refused to discuss the matter.

Turner hall was never more effect-
ively or handsomely decorated. Fes-
toons of smilax draped the walls and
hung in graceful arch effects over the
large entrance to the hall. Between
each window was a hanging basket
of ferns. Palms and fluffy Japanese
crysanthemums gave a distinctive
touch to the embellishment. Hun-
dreds of lights peeped out from their
intertwining of pretty greenery an 1
lighted up a scene that will long be
remembered for its brilliancy.
Pink roses and crysanthemums in a
setting of delicate ferns made the
long dining hall florally beautiful.
Pink shaded candles in silver candle-
sticks added to the beauty of the
long tables. Supper was served ia
three courses.
Handsome programs with the
club's name embossed in gold were
arranged for 14 straight dances.
Receiving the guests were; Mrs.
Witten B. Russ Mrs. Lewis Maver-

Dear Mme. D’Anjou:
I have been having so much trouble
with an ingrown toenail. Can you tell
me what I can do for it myself? S. D
For ingrowing toenails let the nail
grow a little long and then put some
absorbent cotten under it and push it
back with a toothpick. Never use a
steel or sharp instrument on account
of the danger of injuring the flesh and
causing blood poison. If you begin
this in good time and continue it for
a few days your nail will not bother
you. If the nail is very sore at the
corners apply a little piece of cotton
saturated with laudanum and bandage
it around the toe at night. In the
morning the toe will feel all right.

der feet are those with unbleached

BOARD DECIDES TO
BUILD NEW SCHOOL
Structure Will Be Erected Be-
tween Rural and Broad
Avenues.
At a meeting of the school board
last night it was decided to build a
school at the rock quarry and to pur-
chase lots between Rural and Broad
avenues therefor.
The resolution was taken only after
a lengthy discussion Sam Harris ar
guing thut since the funds of the bond
issue had been depleted the board
should wait until the tax collector's
books show the amount that would
accrue to the public schools of the
city and that the need of the school
in question was not sufficient to war-
rant a draught on the general fund.
Other members held that since the
premise of the school board has been
made to the people of that locality
and as the need is very pressing there
should be no delay in breaking ground
for tile structure. It was pointed out
that many of the children of that lo-
cality- would not attend school at all
unless there was one in their neigh
borhood. Then too the prices of
real estate are steadily rising and
that purchase now would mean a sav-
ing of money.
The motion to secure the site was
offered by Dr. Rochs and seconded
by Pablo Cruz. Before it was put
Mr. Harris asked that he be excused
from voting but rather than have any
doubt arise as to whether a quorum
had been present when only three
votes were recorded he decided to
vote in the negative at the same time
stating his reason for so doing. The
meeting then adjourned.
A contract for the erection of the
school has already been awarded in
conjunction with three other school
buildings which are now under con-
struction. for the amount of $5200 but
it has not yet been decided when the
construction of the Rock Quarry
school will be commenced.
The building committee of the board
will meet Monday morning at 9 o'clock
at the Book building and in company
with Contractor G. W. Thomas visit
the new schools No. 13 15 and 16 tc
determine whether they will be ac-
cepted from their builder.
After the meeting yesterday an ap-
plication was considered from the
Salvation Army for the placing by
that body of boxes in the public
schcols in which children mav put
clothing and ether things as Christ
mas offerings to the poor. It was
agreed to leave the matter to the in
dividual discretion of the principals
of the schools.
Those present at the meeting of
the board were: Dr. M. J. Bliem
president; Pablo Cruz chairman of
the building committee; Sam Harris
and Dr. Rcchs.
WOULD BAR DANCING
AMONG THE INDIANS
White Self-Constituted Guard-
ians Say It Lowers
Morals.
New York Dec. 7. —That dancing
lowers the standard of morality
among Indians is the opinion of the
National Indian association which at
its annual meeting passed a resolu-
tion asking that congress prohioit
dancing among the Indians. Other
resolutions favored more definite leg-
islation against the sale of liquor to
Indians and other minor matters. The
resolution referring to dancing reads
as follows:
“The National Indian association
would also place upon record its be-
lief that the growing practice for In-
dians of both sexes to dance together
tends to lower the standard of mor-
ality among them. ni»d the association
earnestly urges the government and
the Indian office to take such neces-
sary steps to prevent such dancing."
