New York Preacher Has Answer to the Question “What Shall We Do With Roosevelt"
NEW FIRE HOUSE
FIRST WE 10
CUT KEYRATE
Prospect Hill Soon to Have Fire
Station—Steps to Build It
Already Taken. .
COMES UP IN COUNCIL
Probable That Engine Company
of Hose Wagon and Engine
Will Be Stationed There.
Prospect Hill is soon to have a
fire station and the first move to
cut the fire insurance key-rate will
be launched.
This announcement will without
question cause a reign of joy to
pervade the citizenship of this por-
tion of San Antonio. That steps
will be taken to erect a fire station
on Prospect Hill as soon as prac-
ticable was made known at the
city hall this forenoon following a
conference between Mayor Cal-
laghan and citizens. The details
were not discussed but it is likely
that an engine company composed
of a hose wagon and engine will
be located on the hill.
Chairman Wickeland of the council
committee on fire and fire limits will
introduce at the meeting of the coun
cil at 4 o’clock this afternoon a reso-
lution authorizing Mayor Callaghan to
appoint a committee of three citizens
of Prospect Hill to select a site for
the location of the new fire house.
Tt is probable a special meeting of
the Prospect Hill Improvement club
will be held during the week and three
citizens selected to be recommended for
appointment by the mayor in order
that the committee may be formally
announced at the following meeting of
the aldcrmanic body.
Tt will not be possible however for
the new fire house to be fully equipped
until the adoption of a new financial
budget by the city government. Th°
step to be taken at this time is merely
to provide or pave a way for the es-
tablishment of a fire company manned
and controlled by the municipal gov-
ernment and in order that no delay
may be occasioned when the proper
time arrives for getting the now fire
house into commission. With the es
tablishment of a fire house on Prospect
Hill the fire department of San An-
tonio will bo composed of thirteen fire
stations. Tt will also mean a cut in
the key-rate on fire insurance as an-
nounced recently by the state rating
board.

ENFORCED
Judge Finds That Hernandez
Violated Sunday Law Sg
License Is Revoked.
IS A WARNING TO OTHERS
Attorneys Are Arguing Matter
Which May Mean Prece-
dent for All Texas.
Judge Phil Shook of the county
court this morning revoked and can-
celled the retail malt dealer's license
held by Blas Hernandez 302 South
Santa Rosa avenue and in a talk
from the bench declared that no in-
fraction of the Robertson-Fitzhugh
law would be tolerated and that re-
vocations would come in every in-
stance where it was shown that the
Sunday law or any other portion of
the law was violated.
“I take it” said the court “that
the retail liquor dealers now understand
the law and no excuse will be enter
tained by this court in the granting of
licenses in July of this vear; pml I want
to warn those engaged in this business
that if these affidavits for revocation
are filed and the evidence produced
their licenses will be revoked.”
The action of the court in cancelling
1 the license of Blas Hernandez was no
> surprise to those who heard the testi-
mony. Tt was conclusively proven that
' Antonio Garcia bartender for Hernan
dez actually sold and received money
I for selling liquor on Sunday March 13
' and again on Sunday. March 27. De
’ feuse attempted to show that Hernan-
dez knew nothing of the act of his
bartender and that it was done without
his sanction but the testimony slow-
ed that when the liquor-selling was
going on Blas Hernandez was on his
1 premises engaged in cock fighting and
the law presumed that he ought to
have known what was transpiring un-
der roofs controlled by him.
This morning showed the conclusion
of testimony and argument by counsel
for the respective sides. Two witness-
es Blink and Raybold were put on
the stand Blink to testify that he
I controlled the room in which the in-
I fraction of law took place; and Ray-
bold to show that the City Brewing
I company had paid for the license of
I Blas Hernandez. Raybold is in charge
I of this business for the City Brewing
I company.

ROOSEVELT SAYS IT’S PRIVATE MATTER
Ansoclated Press.
Rome. April 4. —The determination of Mr. Roosevelt to forego his
audience with Pope Pius X rather than subscribe to conditions
imposed by the Vatican has created a sensation and the incident over-
shadows every other feature of the distinguished American s visit
to the city. R<x>sevelt sought-an audience with the pontiff through
American Ambassador Leishman and received a reply the holy father
would be delighted to receive him. but the answer was coupled with
an expression of the hope that the audience would not be prevented
by such a regrettable incident as made the audience for former Vice-
President b'airbanks impossible.
Roosevelt in turn stated he would not accept any stipulation
limiting his freedom of conduct. To the latter message the Vatican
made answer the audience would not take place except on the under-
standing first made known. On March 29 Roosevelt sent to Am-
bassador Leishman the following cablegram: "The proposed pre-
sentation of course is now impossible." Roosevelt insists the inci-
dent be treated as purely personal and earnestly hopes it will not give
rise to any bitterness. It appears today that so far as the Vatican and
Roosevelt are concerned the incident is closed.
