five of the city's leading business men
in a meeting yesterday afternoon, coup-
led with pledges of the executive com-
mitteemen and the assurance of the chair-
man now makes the matter a foregone
conclusion. Preparations will begin to-
day looking to the entertainment of tho

The meeting yesterday was held at the

presided and Secretary John 13. Carrlng-
ton kept the minutes.
Mr. Mullaly. In calling the meeting lo
order, outlined lis purpose and called for
suggestions from others present. Me told
of writing, with Will A. Morrlss, nu mber
of the executive committee from this
district, and others, to Chairman Ueorge
A. Carden, and of receiving a reply as-
suring them that If $1500—50 per cent of
the campaign fund fixed for the year-
were raised the convention would un-
doubtedly comc here during the summer.
Besides this sum, Mr. Mullaly salt! the
entertainment expenses of the convention
would have to be raised. He thought the
janitor hire, Ihe bill for music, the hall
lent ami other expenses would amount to
at least $500, with the probabilities of
reaching $1000. He <•< -mseled haste, say-
ing that the $1500 wcB I have to he guar-
anteed by next Monday—the date of the.
next executive committee meeting—if San
Antonio desires the convention.
Musv Pledge Money.
Will A. Morrlss said that, with possibly
two exceptions, he had the pledge of
every member of the executive commit-
tee to vote for San Antonio for the con-
vention honors. He referred to the fail-
ure of Fort Worth to raise the entire
amount pledged, and said that he desired
to go before the committee with some-
thing more than a verbal pledge to raise
the $l'i00 here. He suggested that sub-
scriptions be made and that a certain
number of business men bind themselves
to see that the money Is paid after it has
been subscribed. A decision in accord-
ance with this suggestion was later
reached.
Favor the Convention.
Mr. Mullaly, Otto Wahrmund, T. L.
Conroy, Sells; Detitschman and others
spoke favoring the matter.

Mullaly was empowered to appoint a cen-
tral committee of five, who shall de-
vise a plan of canvass, name the sub-

Explaining that there was a deadlock
on so that no local applicant could he
elected principal of the High School the
School Hoard last night, with two dis-
senting votes, elected Walter I). Wil-
liams of Fort Worth principal, lie was
placed in nomination by Edward W.
Tynan. Edgar Schramm placed Marshall
Johnson of the High School faculty in
nomination. Mr. Johnson received the
votes of Mr. Schramm and Pablo Cruz.
Mr. Williams was elected by Carlos Bee,
Mr. Tynan and Sam L. Harris. Nelson
Lytle was absent, and W. H. Lipscomb,
tlie president, did not vote, but explained
afterward that considering the deadlock
lie would have been for Williams. Dr.
W. L. Bringhurst withdrew as a candi-
date for the prlncipalshlp of the High
School.
The election of Mr. Williams precipi-
tated a discussion which did not end
until every member of the School Hoard
present had explained his position, and
there were lively passages. Mr. Schramm ,
opened the discussion by declaring
warmly that it is not in keeping with
the dignity of this city that the School
Hoard should find it necessary to go
outside to find a High Sc hool principal.
He said he had favored Dr. W. E. Bring-
hurst of the High School faculty, but
that he would far rather have Mr. John-
son than any outside man.
Mr. Harris said .the election of Mr.
Williams is no reflection on the candi-
dates from this city, but resulted from
the deadlock.
Says There Was Conspiracy.
Mr. Schramm protested that none of
the members of the board know anything
about Mr. Williams that Is not hearsay
and that appearances were that a con-
spiracy had been formed against the
local candidates, lie declared he can
name the person in the High School who
started the conspiracy.
Mr. Cruz expressed his regret lor the
necessity of going outside of San1 An-
tonio for a principal, and moved that
the election .if Mr. Williams be made
unanimous. This was carried, Mr.
Schramm voting no.
Mr. Tynan pleaded the impossibility
of agreeing on a local man as his excuse
for voting for an outside man. Mr. Bee
spoke likewise. He said lie was for Miss
Sarah Scofield at first.
Mr. Williams has been a teacher for
the last twenty years, spending nineteen
years of that time in Fort Worth. Ho
was for nine years principal of district
and ward schools. For eight years he
was principal of the High School and
for two years superintendent of the city
schools. He is tl years of age and has a
family. Mr. Williams graduated from
the University of Mississippi, and has
done special work in the University of
Chicago.
He presented numerous endorsements.
The election of Mr. Williams will come
as a surprise to local teachers. His elec-
tion last evening was the result of a
caucus yesterday, at which an effort was
made to break the deadlock.
Principals Re-elected.
All the principals, Including Miss Gib-
bons. who has not yet been assigned lo
a school, were re-elected unanimously
last evening, but were not assigned. The
negro schools are excepted from this
order. On the recommendation of C. J.
Lukin, superintendent, a committee com-
posed of F. 'M. Halbedl, Miss Eaura
Steele and W. J. Knox was appointed to
assist ir fixing the grades of the teach-
ers. This committee will be assisted by
Mr. Schramm, Mr. Cruz and Mr. Tynan
of the School Board. On motion of Mr.
Bee this committee Is Instructed to be
expedient In getting through with the
work in order that the teachers may
know whether they will be re-elected and
have time to seek positions elsewhere in
the event any are not re-elected.
Mr. Tynan gave the report of the
finance committee, showing that the
deficit yesterday was $.33,975, but that it
was covered by a check for >50,000 from
the city tax collector. The rest of the
money will be received as soon as the
city tax collector's books are, audited.
The amount estimated to be due from
the city is $64,895. This, It Is estimated,
will give the School Board $W,920 to run
on until State taxes come In about Janu-
ary and February. It Is estimated that
before the next city taxes are received
there will be a deficit of $60,000, but that
the nexi fiscal year should show a cash
basis again.
Discuss Sidewalks.
Bids for the cement pavement around
School No. 9 were opened and the con-
tract awarded to S Rogers, the lowest
bidder. Mr. l.ipscomh suggested that the
board is getting into the mire hy building
sidewalks. Mr. Bee expressed the
opinion that the sidewalks are getting the
schools out of the mire. Mr. Cruz sug-
gested waiting to see if the neighbors
will take the hint and build cement side-
walks after walks are built around
School No. 9, and if they do not to desist
tor a while.
This was agreed to by Mr. Schramm,
who says the movement Is an experi-
ment.
The recommendation of Nelson Lytle,
chairman of the committee on Janitors,
that the janitors he given a vacation of
two weeks on full j>ay during the sum-
mer provided that they get others to
to take their places while they are away,
was approved.
The Alamo Plumbing Works was in-
structed to go ahead with Its contract.
A. R. Thomas was authorized to take
charge of the two rooms in the yard of
the High School as principal of Sam
Houston School, and regarding these as
part of his school.
The Salaries of Teachers.
R. L. Ball and R. J. Boyle appeared
as attorneys for T. P. Walsh, the West
End Lumber Company and the Williams
Brick Company and other creditors of
the School Board, to ask that sums due
them be paid direct to them instead of
to the administratrix of the estate of G.
W. Gill, deceased, who had the contract
for the construction of School No. 12, but
died before he finished It. The board
granted the request of the creditors on
the provision that the boart be protected
John T. Hamhleton, Alderman at I.arg»
and for many years Identified with the
realty interests, died nl noon yesterday at
Ids home, 303 Maverick Street. Death

and followed an illness of several weeks
At the lime of his death Mr. Hamhleton
was In his sixty-fifth year. Funeral ai-
rangements have not yet been completed,
pending advices from Charles E. Hamhle-
ton of Cincinnati, Ohio, a brother of the
decedent.
Mr. Hamnleton's Illness dated from
April 21. at which time he suffered a
stroke r.f apoplexy, and, notwithstanding
that he battled heroically against the
disease, his heart failed shortly before

Mr. Hambleton was a native of dncin-
by a suitable bond against all claims and

The
total is a little over $1000.
On motion of Mr. Harris the finance
committee was instructed to confer with
the donors of the Halff Memorial School
and report back to the board for final
action.
Mr. Tynan said that many teachers are
under the Impression they were not given
all that was coming to them as summer
salaries because they did not get three
times their last month's salaries. He ex-
plained that a certain per cent of each
month's salary is retained, to be paid
at the end of the year, and that part of
the percentage retained this year Is per-
centage of tho -first month's salaries,

JOHN T. HAMBLETON.
Mr. Hambletcn's death fcllowed an Ill-
ness of several weekJ.
riati and. following an early education,
he lieeame identified with the traffic on
the Ohio River. For a number of yeats
he was one of the most widely known
captains of river boats in the North. His
experience was wide In tills respect, and
he acquired a wide fund of information
relative to the traffic, and was not with-
out many Interesting anecdotes of the
earlier days when river traffic was in its
heyday.
' He came to Pan Antonio twenty-six
yen is ago, and the greater part of his
active business here was devoted to the
realty business. He was very successful
in ilils and did much toward bringing
San Antonio properly to the front.
He hnd served several terms In Ihe City
Council, and was an aggressive official.
Mr. Hamhleton was twice married, and
a daughter also survives him.
since the board granted an Increase in
pay, and hence the discrepancy of a
few dollars in each check.
BURNING BONDS AT MIDNIGHT.
School Beard Has Weird Pursuit in
Finding Proper Place.
Following the meeting last evening the
School Board went forth to burn $19,600
worth of bonds of an Issue of November
1, 1903, bearing 4 per cent interest.
The bonds were counted and were
found all there. The board went into the
closet of the board office, but could find
no suitable place for the fire. Then the
hoard adjourned to the basement of the
building, but there was no good place to
burn the armful of bonds. It was de-
cided that since the hour was late they
might be burned on the Plaza.
Ten men Issued from the big silent
dark office building on Main Plaza and
formed a circle around the bonds on the
Plaza. A few policemen looked on with
suspicion, and citizens on the other side
of the streets showed their interest by
gazing at the performance. But the
breeze was high and it was feared the
bonds might blow away before they
were all burned and thus fall into other
hands and be presented for payment all
over again. It was decided to take the
bonds to the furnace of a hotel nearby.
The hotel man feared a flue fire from a
bundle of paper like thai and declined to
permit It to be deposited in his stove.
Finally the School Board discovered an
accommodating Oriental, who presides
with beaming slant eyes over a restau-
rant nearby, and the $19,500 worth of pa-
per was placed in his kitchen stove,
while he looked on In wonder at the
queer action at that late hour of the
night. There Is no doubt about his in-
clination to discuss the matter with Ihe
police. But the bonds were finally prop-
erly incinerated, and the School Board
adjourned to bed.
