TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO SAN AN-

I. & G. N. DEPOT.
The King of the Fiesta will arrive In San
Antonio this year over the International
& Great Northern Railrcad and the open-
ing parade In honor of his majesty will
be Monday night, April 20. On detraining
the King will be met by a reception com-
mittee and a troop of United States cav-
alry, the local companies of the National
Guard and the corps from the Peacock
and West Texas Military Academies. The
military will form an escort of honor. The
directors of the Fiesta Association will
comprise the reception committee, and the
parade in large part will be composed of
decorated automobiles. More than one
hundred cars have already been promised.
Dr. W. A. Hering is chairman of the com-
mittee to interest automobile owners in the
King's pageant, and yesterday ho issued
a form letter extending a hearty invitation
to them. It is the intention to include
as members of the reception committee
nil who participate in this parade with
decorated machines. It is not improbable
that more than 200 machines will be en-
tered.
Iter will have a bodyguard of six stal-
wart United States soldiers and will be ac-
companied by a court jester and two pages.
The royal chariot lu which ho will make
his triumphal entry among his people is a
creation of unusual gorgeousness and now
rests in the Fiesta den, a piece of com-
pleted art. The ceermonies attending the
presentation of the keys of the city by
Mayor Clinton G. Brown will be held 011
Alamo Plaza immediately following the
royal parade. A grandstand will be
erected on the plaza near the historic
Alamo for this spectacle and others that
will follow later in the week. Following
the ceremonies on Alamo Plaza the King
and his suite will proceed to the Grand
Opera House to witness the Fiesta Fete.

Rochester, N. X.
trative of some well known musical theme,
will be seen in the music parade Tuesday
afternoon. The visiting brass bands will
participate in this parade. There prob-
ably will be more than twenty of them,
and their appearance is sure to be an en-
tertaining and pleasing feature. Orpheus,
the god of music, will be symbolized in
one of the floats, and St. Cecelia, patron
saint of music, in another.
For the moment, leaving out of consid-
eration the Battle of Flowers, the Famous
Plays parade down on the program lor
Wednesday will be one of the most elabo-
rate spectacles of the week of April 20.
In this parade will be fifteen elaborate
floats, among them being "The Land of
Nod,** "Beauty and the Beast," a scene rep-
resenting Mephisto, Faust and Marguerite,
and scenes calling to mind other world-
famous dramas. This pageant will be at
night. Wednesday afternoon will be seen
the novel spectacle of a large number of
bench show dogs tugging at their chains
while being directed through tho principal
streets in the downtown district. Scores of
the show dogs of Texas will pass in review
before the crowds. The bench show to be
given by the San Antonio Kennel Club
will be one of the features of the Carnival.
Thursday afternoon the Civic and Trades
display will be the event of foremost im-
portance. Last year seventy-five business
firms appeared in this parade, each with
one or more decorated vehicles or floats.
The lumber of entries already received in-
dicates there will I*1 more general partici-
pation this season. It is one of the really
important events of the week, for the rea-
son that it gives merchants and manufac-
turers opportunity to advertise before the
great crowds of visitors as well as home
folks the progress and development of the
city along commercial lines. In addition to
decorated vehicles, there are to be a large
number of specially designed floats in this
parade.
Thursday night at the Majestic Theater
will be seen the ever interesting ceremonies
Incident to the coronation of the Queen.
This will be, as always, the premier so-
cial event of tho week.
The Battle of Flowers has become fa-
mous In pictures and song throughout
the land, and even across the seas. This
great animated spectacle will give Friday
afternoon a distinction all its own. In
other words, it will be the crowning event
of a week of big things and delightful
surprises. The vehicles of the duchesses
will be hardly less beautiful than the
golden chariot of the Queen. In addition
there will be decorated victorias, automo-
biles and other vehicles. Much is being
made of the fact that a number of auto
mobile trucks will bo converted into a
fleet of battleships.
"It is a civic duty the women owe San
Antonio to participate in the Battle of
Flowers parade," said President Frank of
the Fiesta Association yesterday. "They
can help out very materially by decorating
their teams, vehicles and automobiles. We
should make every effort to improve this
great spectacle year after year, and in
order to bring about this improvement it
is necessary for tho display of enterprise
along with hearty co-operation."
Tho traveling men will have the call Sat-
urday and will close the Fiesta with a
period of fun aud frolic. The program,
which is soon to be announced, will con-
tain features entirely new in spring fes-
tivities. Everybody who comes to San
Antonio Fiesta Week is urged to remain
over Saturday and see how the traveling
men entertain. Customers in Son An-
tonio's trade territory who come here for
Traveling Men's Day will bo handsomely
cured for and shown a good time. In the
evening an elaborate comic parade will be
staged by the knights of the grip. A meet-
ing will be held at the Gunter Hotel at 10
o'clock this morning to discuss features of
the parade and look after other arrange-
ments.
In addition to the features already enum-
erated the Fiesta Fete will be given Mon-
day and Tuesday nights; and then there
will be the cotillon of the San Jacinto
Club, the Queen's ball, given by the Order
of the Alamo; a ball given by the officers
of Fort Sam Houston, a grout band con-
test. high class free acts and concerts on
the plazas every afternoon and night.
The Mexican village is to be made a
greater attraction this year than ever be-
fore. according to announcements made by
E. .1. II. Meier and W. C. Silllman. Its
numerous nofelties will hold out a strong
api>eal to the visitors.
As to railroad rales, they are the most
attractive in the history of the Fiesta San
Jacinto. Then? will be an added induce-
ment to thousands who might l»e deterred
if rates were higher. I11 additiou to the
low rates for the etitire week there are
especially low rates that apply to shorter
periods.

Leopold Morris' Statement
VICTORIA, Tex., March 28.—Leopold
Morris, candidate for Governor, issued the
following statement today:
"I wish to assert most emphatically that
I am going to remain a candidate for Gov-
ernor of this State until July 25, when
the peoplo will have a chance to pass judg-
ment upon my candidacy in a manner be-
fitting free men.
"1 have not been a party to any plan 01
design to destroy tho rule of the people,
nnd if my candidacy Is successful, it w.ill
mean the eui of gang rule in Texas.
"Months ago, during my humble service
in the Legislature, I exposed the trickery
and treachery of the predatory interests in
using the prohibition issue to deceive the
peoplo and deprive them of their rights.
And the truthfulness of what I said then
has become plainly apparent during tlds
campaign.
"In tho shadow of this appealing Issue
and by convention methods that did not
express the popular will, a corporation
lawyer has been chosen by a faction to
fight the battles of the common people!
"And by the use of this identical Issue,
poorly concealed, ami the self-same ques-
tionable methods, men, with claims to
distinction as champions of the cause of
the common people equally as good, are
struggling for the leadership of another
faction.
"Then wo find betwixt these two factions
the candidacy of a man who has adopted
my course with reference to the prohibi-
tion Issue, but whose views on other pub-
lic questions are almost entirely different
from mice.
The struggle for the leadership of the
second faction, or the self-styled "con-
structive" Democrats, has developed into
a fight between county machines and the
State machine, and It Is very evidejit that
tho couuty machines will win. But it will
be an empty victory—simply the defeat of
ono set of bosses by another set of boses,
with the usual big hurrah by tho winners
to fool the people.
"Many of the state machine bosses, fore-
swing the rest It of this struggle, are evi-
dently now preparing to abandon tbeit
own plan, and, instead of supporting the
nominee of the approaching convention, as
they fully agreed to do, they will most
likely form an alliance with the candidate
who has been following in my footsteps
in dealing with the issue of prohibition.
"And in order to give the people a more
perfect understanding of the character of
this man's candidacy and why tho defeat-
ed bosses regard it as a good sheltering
place. I need only mention that it Is re-
ceiving the support of a man who poses
as a great friend of downtrodden human-
ity—a man who has been giving the farm-
ers lots of advice through the agency of a
powerful commercial organization that is
supported by the big interests and who
spent'much time in Austin last winter as
tho self-appsLnted spokesman of the farm-
ers lu helping the lobbyists of the rail*
reads defeat a labor measure.
4tThe masses of the people. Ignorant of
the schemes of designing politicians and
awaiting the time appointed by law to
do their voting, did not participate in
the boss-controlled conventions held last
month, nor will they take part In those to
bo held during the month to come. And if
I do not mistake the temper of the people,
they will deal the embezzlers of power in
T« xas a blow in July from which they
ne\er will recover.
"The enemies of the people are apparent-
ly divided Into three factions in this cam-
paign, and if there ever waa a time in
Texas to beat th«» bosses and establish
the rule of the people, now is that time.
"I have labored for months against tre-
mendous odds and obstacles to bring about I
this result, and now that I have the vie
tory almost won and am about to plant
the flag of freedom In the capital of this
State. I warn th»* people not to be de- I
reived by thfir enemies and defeat their j
ono cause. LEOPOLD MORRIS."

Endures Starvation
and Disease, Now
Gets a Gold Medal
LONDON, March 28.—The Iloyal Geo-
graphical Society has awarded the King's
£old medal to l>r. Hamilton Rice of Bos-
tot;, Mass., for his work of exploration
in South America.
Dr. Rice started from London in De-
cember, 1U11, for Barranquila, at the
mouth of the Magdalena Itlver, and
twenty five days later reached Bogota,
capital of Colombia. From that city I)r.
IUco and his party started for San Mar-
tin, 100 miles south of Bogota. For twen-
ty-one months the party explored South-
east Colombia and Brazil. The trip ended
at Manuos, Brazil, 1,000 miles up the
Amazon IUver.
Dr. Rice said afterward that the record
of the party was one of physical horrors.
Insects made existence almost impossible;
there were periods of starvation and con-
sequent mutiny and constant prevalence
of disease.
A race of light-colored Indians was dis-
covered, as was also a colony composed
entirely of male Indians. For the most
part, however, the region explored was
unin habited.
Progress through the country was ex-
tremely difficult, machetes being neces-
sary to cut a track almost the entire way.
In being forced to swim small streams
the members of the party were attacked
by dangerous swordfish, which inflicted
ugly septic wounds. From the result of
one of these attacks Dr. Rice suffered
from poisonous ulcers and was compelled
to operate upon himself by candle-light,
cutting his leg to the bone.
During a period of starvation tho party
was reduced to eating monkey meat.

Could Hardly Sleep for Scratching.
Hair Thin, Dry and Lifeless. A
Few Applications of Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Cured.
Olin. Ky.—"I was botherfxl wvrral years
1th sralp disease. There first came a
pimple with a hard scab on It. I would
scratch it off and then it would make a soro.
At times I could hardly sleep at night for
scratcliing. My hair (gradually fell out.
It was thin, dry and lifeless and dandruff
was in my hair.
"I tried several remedies but nona of
them did me any good only for a short timo.
At last I saw the Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment advertisement. I wrote for a sample
and after using it once or twice I found out
that It was just what I had been wanting.
So I secured a larger amount of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment from my druggist. I
first put Cuticura Ointment on my scalp
and then I would wash my head with Cuti-
cura Soap. With Just a few applications
of the Cuticura Soap and Ointment I was
cured." (Signed) R. L. Pope. June 2, 1913.
"Why should I use Cuticura Soap?
There Is nothing the matter with my skin,
and I thought Cuticura Soap was only for
skin troubles." True, It is for skin troubles,
but its great mission is to prevent skin
troubles. For more than a generation its
delicate emollient and prophylactic proper-
ties have rendered it the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and re-
freshing fragrance give to it all the advtn- I
tages of the best of toilet soaps. Cuticura j

A Correction:
In my advertisement cf yesterday you read
that the price of all lots at Norwell would be
increased on May 24. That wasn't true.
I try to be very careful with every state-
ment in these little advertising talks, but
"the best laid plans of mice and men gang
aft aglee." Accidents will happen in the
best-regulated families.
It really doesn't make any difference
whose fault it was. Suffice it to say that
the mistake was made. I said one thing—
the type said another. As at Balaklava,
"someone had blundered.-"
The main thing to do a,fter milk is spilt
is to lap it up or buy more milk. When a
mistake appears in an advertisement, there
is nothing to do but correct it as soon as
possible and hope everybody who saw the
mistake will read the correction.
I announced yesterday that I had decided
upon the date when the prices of all lots at
Norwell would advance.
That date, the advertisement read, would
be May TWENTY-FOURTH.
This was an unintential mis-statement.
The date when prices go up will be May
FOURTH.
The rest of the matter in the announce-
ment was correct. It is true that until that

date—May FOURTH—the present very low
prices will remain in effect. The best lots
are but $75. There are many lots at $50
and $25. The terms are 20 per cent down
and 20 per cent a month, with 10 per cent
off for cash. At these prices I believe Nor-
well real estate to represent the best specula-
tive investment in Texas today.
For that matter, I think the same state-
ment will be true of the new prices, although
the increase will be at least $10 on every
lot and considerably more on many lots.
Those who purchase NOW will get their
lots at a much lower price than those who
wait until after May FOURTH. This is not
saying, however, that those who wait until
after May FOURTH will find prices high,
because the figures will still be small con-
sidering the location of Norwell and its
prospects of immediate and rapid growth.
But why should the buyer wait and pay a
higher price? Besides, while all the lots are
good, some are a little better than others,
and those who come first are served first.
This error regarding the date of the ad-
vance is the first misstatement of any sort
that has crept into my advertising since 1
first announced the sale of Norwell lots. 1
have hastened to correct it.
The date is not May twenty-fourth, but
MAY FOURTH.
