After a declaration had been made by
the Chairman of the City Council Mar-
kets Committee that the raise in the
rents for space in the Market House
would amount to about 25 per cent, the
City Council has raised the rents from
50 to 100 per cent, and the vegetable mer-
chants and butchers who lease space in
the Market House are preparing to
leave.
Sorrto of the merchants allege that they
are being treated unfairly by the city,
not only in the increase of rents but in
being charged for electric lights which
they never owned.

Texas vegetables are conspicuous in the
market this week. Very few of tlie many
excellent products offered for sale are
from other States although scarcely any
are home grown. The drouth and recent
frosts has left little but root crops still
growing in this section. Most of the
vegetables now for tale in the Market
House are from the counties south and
east of San Antonio.
Among the favorites in market are:
New potatoes, English peas, celery,
beans, cabbage, lettuce, squash, cauli-
flower and egg plants. Tomatoes are still
in market but not plentiful. Pumpkins
and cranberries are .selling better novV
tlian ever before. Irish potato ^ from
< olorado have now taken the 1 .ace of
the home grown tubers. The crop raised
in this section Is not large enough for
the demand. Atnong the most plentiful
vegetables in market are: Beets, turnips,
carrots, radishes and- green onions.
Among the fruits in market are: Ap-
ples, oranges, bananas, grape fruits,
pomegranates and pineapples.
Fish are somewhat scarce. The varie-
ties in market arc: Trout, redfish and
catfish. Oysters are selling at 10c a
dozen. Eggs are still scarce and sell at
30o a dozen. Butter ranges in price from
20c to 30c a pound. Honey is selling for
iL'^c a pound.
Poultry of all kinds is very plentiful
and cheaper than usual. The supply is
now much *tter and it is expected the
price will remain reasonable until after
the holidays.

{ c<«n Not Pay Increase.
Speaking of the y tter yesterday,
Mrs. R. O. Smith, whnayis a stall in the
Market House, said: f t,' rent was for-
merly $18 a month. - under the new
arrangement that goe+* ,o effect on the
first of the year the rent Is (26 a month.
Until this afternoon there was a notice
on the outer wall of the Market House
to [he effect that the space in the Mar-
ket House is to be sold at auction Dec.
20, and the minimum prices will be those
recently passed by the City Council,
which are from 50 to 100 per cent higher
than the present rents. I do not know
how the others feel about the matter. I
•have one of the biggest stands in the
market. It is made up of three stands,
such as the City Council has marked off#
but I cannot afford to pay such a high
rent and must move as soon as the mat-
ter is definitely settled, as it will be at
the end of the present year. This is our
dull season. We might try to pay the
higher rent in the spring but cannot
now."
Raymond Oberstone, another vendor of
vegetables, who has a stand in the Mar-
ket House, said: "My rent was formerly
$12 a month, but it has been raised to $25
by the recent action of the City Council,
it Is more than I can pay and I must
move as soon the matter js decided
and we know what the City Council real-
ly intends to do. Formerly we had things
quite nicelv arranged and could afford to
sell cheaper than the ordinary dealers
t\I>o use wagons, but under this arrange-
ment our rents will be so high that we
must peddle with wagons or1 get out of
the business. When customers come to
the Market House they expect to get the
best of vegetables cheaper than they can
get them delivered at their front gates.
The horse and wagon peddler pays a
small occupation tax of about $2 i year.
If we in tire Market House art forced
out of business by higli rents the city
will be supplied with only the poorest
quality of vegetables, as it does no good
for the wagon peddler to buy good vege-
tables when he is forced to carry them
around in the hot sun all day."
Must Leave the Sand.
A. Jowdy. who has a stand in the
Market House, said: "My rent was for-
merly $36 a month, but it has been raised
to $57 and I cannot pay it. I shall move
In a short time. It is a great misfortune
that the city should use so little judg-
ment in this matter. We have come to
the Market House and started in busi-
ness willing to lose money for a year
.a. so in order to establish a business.
Now that we have one established and
we are beginning to make back our
money the city raises the rent.
Violence Won't Surprise Him.
"When we complained that it was bad
enough to raise the price of the stalls
without holding an auction, the city took
down the notice. We have had no oppor-
tunity to explain the situation. We do
not "know what to expect. After the
manner in which we have been treated
in tho last few days it would not sur-
prise me if we would all be arrested
and thrown in jail."
M S. Smith, a negro who sells poultry
and eggs in the Market House, said in
answer to a question, that his rent has
h< en raised from $ti to $10 a month and
lie is now making arrangements to move
tn another stand. He explains that it
lakes some time to get a business estab-
lished and he was just beginning to make
hack some of the money he lost at
first.
Lytle does not handle "cheap ci-
gars" made by second-rate factories
to sell at "cut prices."
He handles well-known brands,
made by "top notchers," who cater to
"quality" only, without regard to
"price."

Samuel Job-1 - ,,,a Opinion.
A. J. Dean, manager of the Midland
Hotel In Kansas City, Mo., was here
yesterday. He spent the day looking
about the city and returned to Kansas
City last night. In looking about the
business section of the city he declared
San Antoodo to b<* an ideal locrtion for
another large hotel. He visited the site
of the new hotel which is proposed to
be built on Houston Street. Mr. Dean
said he had no intention of investing in
a hotel in San Antonio, his experience
in the hotel business being only as a
manager. He said when the company
had completed the hotel, however, he
would be willing to receive a proposition
from the owners in regard to the con-
tract for the management.
Judge W. T. Burns of the Southern
Federal District has placed a different
construction on the law with reference
to the sale of soldiers' clothing than has
been pla.ced upon it by any other Federal
Judge in Texas. Judge Burns holds that
it is a violation of law for a soldier, or
officer, while in the service to sell any of
hi3 property. The construction is inter-
esting especially with reference to the
sale of clothing.
Judge T. S. Maxey and other judges
on the Federal bench have held that it is
an offense only to sell clothing out of
the Quartermaster's Department, but
that when it was issued to the soldier it
was his own property and that he might
do as he pleased with it. The army
grants its soldiers an allowance with
which to buy clothing.
Judge Burns rendered this opinion in
his instructions to the jury at Browns-
ville a few days ago where two citizerls
were being tried on the charge of having
purchased Government clothing. The
trial of the case resulted in a hung jury.
Jurors Wore Army Shoes.
After the verdict, according to Marc
McLemore, who was her®'yesterday -»n
his way to Houston from Brownsville,
where he had been conducting the prose-
cution of the cases, it was discovered
that thre#» members of the jury wore
army shoes.
Judge Burns reprimanded the jury
bcvorely for not being able to reach a
verdict. He pointed out that the evidence
had been clear in the case, and that a"-
cording to the instructions there would
have been nothing left but to bring in. a
verdict of guilty. Several soldiers testi-
fied that they had sold their overcoats to
the men under indictment.
In his instructions to the jury Judge
Burns read the following extract from
the law on the subject:
"Every person who knowingly pur-
chases or receives in pledge for any ob-
ligation or indebtedness from any soldier
or other person called Into or employed
in the military or naval service of the
United States any arms equipments, am-
munition. clothing, military stores or
other public property, such soldiers, etc.,
not. having the lawful right to pledge or
sell the same, shall be punished, upon
conviction. \.. ,i IV. *•' ?nfd section."

FEW PAYING POLL TAXES.
Collectors Expect Rush During Last
Few Days.
The county and city tax collectors re-
port that poll taxes are coming in very
slowly. At present there are only about
one thousand qualified voters in the
county and about one hundred in the
city. The time for paying poll taxes is
rapidly drawing to a close. After Jan.
31 noli taxes cannot be paid.
Many of the voters wait until the last
few days and then find that the rush
is such that they are unable to pay their
taxes in less than an hour and a half.
On this account many men did not pay
their poll taxes last year.

alf"The couTi ^listrucuV you^ah a matter of
law that a soldier in the service of th*
army of the United tSates duilng th>
term of his enlistment is without right
or authority to sell or pledge th<^ clothlnj.
irsued to him during the continuation of
his army service."
The two men being tried were J. H.
McCain and J. T. Clay. Clay is a dis-
charged soldier and ran a bakery near
the edge of the Fort Brown reservation.
McCain was associated with him, it is
said. It was claimed by the prosecution
that Clay ran a pawn shop in connection
with his bakery and that the soldiers at
the post were in the habit of pawning
I heir overcoats there during the summer
months.
Charles Hay Jr., acting Judge advocate
of the Pepartn ent of Texas, has returned
from Brownsville where he has been aid-
ing Mr. MeLemore in the prosecution of
the cases. He has written a history of
the case to be sent to the Judge Advocate
of the Army.
Judge Hay argued in the prosecution
ot' tiie case that the seventeenth article
ol war, which is a supreme law, gave
the army the right to look after the
clothing of the soldier, to provide pennl-
tus for carelessly damaging it, etc. Ho
held if the army had the right to do this
it had the right to prevent the soldiers
from selling their property.
Provides Term in Prison.
Under the ruling by Judge Burns per-
sons purchasing Government clothing will
be subject to a penitentiary sentence of
from one to five years and a fine not to
exceed $1000.
The army has been at a disadvantage
in securing evidence in these cases as
when a soldier is discharged from the
army he has a right to retain hie clothing
and wear it while he is not in the service
if he so chooses. An effort is being made
to have this article of war amended so
that a. soldier will be deprived of his
uniform when his period of service is
ended. Then, the possession of an army
uniform will be prima facie evidence
against the person holding it.
While the Government lost the Browns-
ville cast; the construction placed en the
law ny Judge Burns 'is a matter of im-
portance and will have bearing in future
cases. There have been few prosecutions
of civilians for the purchase of army
clothing tor the reason, mainly that the
courts have always held it was not a
( rim • to sell Government clothing except
out of the Quartermaster's Department.
There are several cases in San Anton'o
where the army believes it has evidence
sufficient to warrant having arrests
made.
The jury in the Brownsville case de-
liberated twenty-four hours before an-

We )*iven't a word to say
against a buyer who likes to buy
premiums when she buys her teas.
A buyer has that right anyway.
But she shouldn't try to fool her-
self into believing that she BUYS
her teas and is GIVEN the pre-
miums. Neither should she allow
anybody else to try to make her
believe that she gets something
for nothing.
The premium-giver has to pay
for his premiums. He has to get
his money back, and he does it
either by adding to his tea prices
or lowering the grade and making
his customer BUY HER PRE-
IMTJM.
Let us save you some tea money
and help you to buy your premium
where you feel like it.

For Using Threatening, Profane and
#Vile Language to White Officer.
Brig. Gen. William S. McCaskey, com-
manding the Department of Texas, yes-
terday approved the sentence imposed by
the general courtrnartial at Fort Reno
recently of ten years' imprisonment at
hard labor in a military prison upon
Alden II. Eason, a negro soldier, Com-
pany A, Twenty-fifth infantry.
He was courtmartialed for using
"threatening, profane and vile language
to two superior officers." Each of the
officers he was charged with abusing
are Lieutenants. Eason was in the guard
house and his language had to do with
his supposed reasons for imprisonment.
The verdict of the courtrnartial requires
a forfeiture of all pay.
General McCaskey approved the sen-
tence yesterday and designated the mili-
tary prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.,
as the negro soldier's place of imprison-
ment.
