TICKET BROKERS
DECIDE TO QUIT
BUSINESS HERE
W. H. Stone and J.W. Morris Turn
Over Tickets and Sum of
Money to Attorney.
WILL ALSO REMOVE
HOUSTON STREET SIGNS
Two more San Antonio ticket brokers
yesterday took "the pledge" in the Thir-
ty-seventh District Court to remain out
of the ticket brokerage business in this
city. Although the contempt proceedings
against W. II. Stone and J. \V\ Morris
for alleged violations of the restraining
order issued by Judge Dwyer relative
to "non-transferable" railroad tickets
were not to be taken up until 10:30 o'clock
this morning, Stone and Morris met
Judge Dwyer, C. A. Davies, attorney for
the railroads, and District Attorney
Baker yesterday afternoon, and in open
court agreed to discontinue the business
of ticket brokers.
The temporary injunction prevailing
against the ticket brokers of the city
was, upon the agreement of the defend-
ants, yesterday made permanent with re-
gard to its application to Stone and Mor-
ris, just as it was in the contempt cases
of \V. J. ]*ytlc and Robert Howard a
week ago. Stone and Morris, who are ii 1 -
leged to have maintained a ticket
broker's office in the Maverick Bar, on
Houston Street, delivered to Attorney
Davies all tickets in their possession,
numbering about a dozen, $1S paid to
the defendants by detectives of the. rail-
roads in purchasing so-called 'scalper"
tickets, and paid the costs of court in the
contempt cases against them.
In addition to the surrendering of th«
tickets, money and costs. Stone and
Morris agreed to erase the railroad
broker signs on Houston Street, and en-
tered their appearances for the colitempt
proceedings. The closing of the business
of Stone and Morris makes four victories
for the railroads, thus far in their fight
against twelve brokers who were alleged
to be doing business in this city when
the fight started.

STREET CARS IN BLOCKADE.
Trucks Under Hot Wells Car Cause
of the Trouble.
Thirty-four yellow street cars, grouped
like a bunch of bananas, blockaded the
double tracks at the corner of Houston

night because of the contrary action ot
a pair of trucks beneath a Hot Wells car.
While trying to turn front Houston into
Navarro Street the rear trucks struck,
and while the front wheels were start-
ing south toward the Fair Grounds the
back wheels were striving manfully to
continue up Houston Street toward the , . ,,,,,,,,,

out case against the former hank presi-
dent was practically completed. Argu-
ments on the evidence will be begun
Monday morning. Judge Anderson hav-
ing announced that he would be engaged
with other matters tomorrow.
Reaffirming and reiterating today that
his first concern in all of the transac-
tons between himself, his banks and his
various enterprises had always been the
welfare of the Chicago National Hank,
the defendant witness came through the
ordeal of the cross-examination without
retracting a word of his original decla-
rations.
One of the admissions forced from him,
however, by the searching interrogation
was that the memorandum notes were
not the record of loans to the persona
whose names appeared on the notes. On
the other band, he declared that the un-
secured loans which the (iovernment had
produced as evidence of alleged had faith
were regarded by him as personal lia-
bilities to the hank. He declared that
the Investments of the Chicago National
Hank in the securities of the Walsh
railroads were not made with the inten-
tion of making himself a railroad mag-
nate, but for the purpose of making pos-
sible an advantageous sale of the prop-
erty.
A motion that the case be taken from
the Jury was denied.

WANTS COMPULSORY ATHLETICS
Harvard Professor Makes a Plea for
Physical Exercise.
CHICAGO, 111., Jan. 10-Prof. Dudley
A. Sargent of Harvard makes a unique
plea'for the uplifting of college athletics
and physical culture In an article on
"Compulsory Physical Education," pub.
ltshed in the January number of tho
School review, Issued from the University
of Chicago press yesterday.
He advises that "no student should be
given honors In his studies unless be has
attained a certain grade In his gymnas-
tics or athletics." He draws this con-
clusion after criticising the position of
college faculties which forbid students
to tak'- honors in athletics unless they
have a creditable standing In their
studies. "This requirement. ' writes Pro-
fessor Sargent, "would insure the con-
scientious student against sacrificing his
health in view of raising his standing in
scholarship, which at the present time
he Is likely to do on account of the
keen competition to which he Is sub-
jected."
Dr. Sargent believes that physical cul-
ture and athletics should be included In
the required curriculum.
"Under the head of Physical Train-
ing.' " i,p continues, 1 I should he glad to
see Included all forms of physical activ-
ity. including music, vocal and Instru-
mental. drawing, painting and modeling,
and all forms of manual training, danc-
ing, skating, swimming, rowing, bicy-
cling, military drill, all forms of calis-
thenics. games, plays and the various
forms of athletic sports." |
John II. Ptilliam of Manchester, Muss.,
who It. i11 Southwcat Texas looking Into
the possibilities offered ill tills section
for raising long-staple cotton, sold yes-
terday that, after a two days' investiga-
tion of local Irrigation conditions, he
had come to the conclusion that South-
western farmers can raise long-staple
cotton to immense advantage and at an
enormous profit. "We will show them,"
said Mr. Pitlllani, "that it can bo done
and they will do tho rest."
During his stay in this city Mr. Ptil-
liam has called upon* several Irrigation
farmers, Including F. K. Collins. Ho
says that he was amazed at what he dis-
covered. lie says that Southwest Texas
is the garden spot of the world and that
tho Nile valleys of Egypt with their over-
flows and alluvial deposits can not com-
pare with the Southwest.
"You can, count upon It," said Mr.
Pulliam, "that long-staple cotton can .bo
raised under the same conditions as
strawberries, and whenever you see these
berries growing you may know that lonn-
staple cotton will thrive. I. of course,
mean this statement to be true so far as
II concerns tills period of the year. There
are sections of the country where straw-
berries can lie raised In the middle ot
the summer, as the growth of the berries
Is rapid, but whenever .strawberries will
grow In January jDng-stnple cotton will
not only grow but will thrive.
"Since I have come to this conclusion
I will remain in Southwest Texas fully
thirty days. I may leave tho city to-
morrow night for Brownsville, as 'l de-
sire to get the experiment process estab-
lished generally over the Southwest. We
are willing to pay the expense of small
experiment farms to Bet the trial. If the
tanners will once make that trial thev
will he convinced. I hear a great (leal
in this section about the possibilities of-
fered the onion grower, hut I can say
that the profit In raising long-staple cot-
Ion will not compare with the profit in
onion growing. A farmer can make
double the money with the cotton."
Mr. Pulliam for the past three or four
years has traveled extensively over the.
world 011 Ills long-staple mission and says
that he has never yot seen a farming
country so rich and productive as !-"outh-
west Texas. He has been only to a few
places, hut has seen enough to convince
him that lie has seen the Mecca cf the
farmer. If he goes to Brownsville to-
nglit he will visit Corpus Christ!, Klngs-
ville and other places to the south
probably returning to Sail Antonio inside
of two weeks.

of New York these days than wero to
be found there during the height of the
financial flurry, when thousands of
frightened people flocked to the banks
to withdraw their savings. The crowds
today are not there to withdraw money
but to deposit.
The savings banks of the city did not
suffer from the flurry to any extent
for all of them promptly Issued notice
requiring from thirty to sixty days' no-
tice of withdrawal of funds. In every
savings hank In the city, according to
bankers, thousands of those who gave
notice of withdrawal have, since can-
celed It, while other thousands are rush-
ing to place their money in the banks
that they may receive interest from the
period which began January 1.
While most of the savings hanks have
not yet withdrawn the notice i,t require-
ment, preferring to see what amount will
he withdrawn when notice expires, they
are paying out money to all who need
it regardless of the requirements. Some
of the banks sent out notices some time
ago notifying all those who had filed
notices of withdrawal at the expiration
the period, but only a lew took ad-
vantage Of the Oiler, and those withdrew
only small sums.

WIRELESS MESSAGE PICTURED.
One of the New and Remarkable
Feats of the Camera.
Photographing a. wireless telegraph
message Is tho newest feat of the
camera. This remarkable photograph
was made in Nova Scotia late one night,
when thero was a. continuous stream of
messages leaving tho wireless apparatus.
When tlie plate was developed it showed
certain well defined lines, indicating tho
wires between the posts, and in addition
a number of sharp flashes across tho
sky which could liavo been made by
nothing except the passing of sharp elec-
tric waves. The photograph is causing 11
great deal of Interest among electricians
and scientists. It Is said to 011c of the
most remarkable ever made.
The opening of a. regular wireless serv-
ice across the Atlantic last October, while
somewhat slighted, perhaps, by the. news-
gatherers on account of the press of vital
news of present great import, makes none
the less an epoch In the, advance of civili-
zation and the facilitation of commerce.
In fact, is may be said that no event of
equal Importance to scientists and com-
merce has occurred since the opening of
the Atlantic cable nearly half a century
ago. The first message was sent via tho
Nova Scotia station by Premier lyaurler
to London. Everything worked well.
For this long distance wireless service
a tremendous amount of sending power
Is necessary. An observer sees flames ot
whitish blue dart from the building
where the operator Is stationed accom-
panied by a gigantic crackling, and the
wires that start the sparkwaves on their
long Journey fairly sing. It is necessary
to send the message slowly In order to
avoid risk of confusion.
The first arrangement was that the
sending and receiving should be done al-
ternately at ten-minute intervals. The
receiving apparatus, an improvement
over the old system, carried the mes-
sage to the receiving operator telephon-
icallv. The Invention means a great deal
to the commercial world.—January Met-

as a strong lever In getting one of file
conventions, as it will bo tho aim of the
local Democrats to entertain the com-
mitteemen in a manner that will arouse
within them a desire to return here.

he will lend his best oMorts to the plan
to secure one of theXSron vent ions for

titled to one of them and is ready to

will lend his support to another place for
tho other convention.

CATARRH
A
SERIOUS
FAR-REACHING BLOOD DISORDER
Even in its early stages Catarrh is almost intolerable, caused by the
stuffy feeling in the nose, the buzzing noises in the ears, the contmou
"hawking and spitting" difficult breathing, etc. But when the blood
becomes thoroughly polluted from the catarrhal matter, the inflammation
extends to the bronchial tubes, causing hoarseness, and often an aggravating
tough; the stomach^is afledted, resulting in dyspepsia, los3 of appetite ana
strength, and gradually all the mucous membranes of the body become dis»
eased and the system upset and deranged. Frequently the kidneys and
bladder are attacked, and the constant passage of impure blood through the
lungs, diseases these important members, and Catarrh terminates in Con*
sumption* Catarrh is a deep-seated blood disease, and must be treated con-
stitutionally, for it is beyond the reach of local treatment. S. S. S. cures
Catarrh by cleansing the blood of all the impure catarrhal matter and at the
same time building up the entire system. It goes down and attacks ths
disease at its head, in the circulation, and
removes every trace of the impurity is
causing the trouble. Then as rich, pun
blood circulates through the body, the in#
flamed membranes commence to liesl, the
Bimci u in.A-v.ni » mucous discharges grow less and finally
PURELY VEGETABLE cease, and all the disagreeable and disgusting
symptoms of Catarrh disappear. S.3.8.has
no equal as a cure for this disease. It refines and purifies the entirecirculation
and repairs the damage done by Catarrh. Special book on Catarrh and any
