IN SLOWLY FROM
COUNTY BOXES
Fiaal Count, It Is Expected,
Add to the Majority of
tbe Bailey Ticket.
While there is a possibility of the or-
dinance governing the Houston Street
improvements being Introduced in the
Council tills afternoon by Alderman
Lurkwciud, chairman of the special Coun-
cil committee, there remains well defined
doubt about tbis much discussed meas-
ure coming up today. This Is bccause
the ordinance must be complete In every
detail, and Binco the joint session of the
special Council and citizens' committee
and conference with the heads of corpo-
rations vitally concerned, not much time
lias elapsed In which tlie proposed city
law could be drafted.
The ordinance will be one covering a
number of propositions of widely diverg-
ent natures. For this reason the com-
mittee wants to be sure It Is rltflit before
going ahead. The details of paving, con-
structing a bridge across the San Atno-
nlo Klver, placing electric lighting, tele-
graph ami teli phono wires under ground
in conduits, relaying the street car irack,
lowering of water mains in certain places
and looking to the street line on either
side of the thoroughfare from Nacog-
doches Street to Santa Kosa Avenue,
must necessarily be taken Into consid-
eration.
Will Not Pass Finally.
Members of the Council commltteo who
have been working with the City Attor-
ney in the preparation of the ordinance,
owing to the complications, Mayor Cal-
laghan and some members of the commit-
tee, while inclined to believe that tlie
measure will be ready In time for this
afternoon's session of the Council, do
not anticipate, should It come up, that
the measure will pass beyond a first or
maybe to a third reading, thus leaving it
subject to amendment.
The heads of the various public service
corporations affected have been holding
Informal conferences with one another,
pursuant to tbe agreement reached last
Tuesday morning In the Council Cham-
ber. They have been authorized to go
ahead with their part of the Work as
soon as they could arrive at some def-
inite conclusion with reference to begin-
ning the required Improvements and al-
terations about the same time.
Can Begin Work.
"They can commence at any time," ac-
cording to i,ne member of the Couniil
commit* ?e, as they can't hurt Houston
Street b. so doing. It is somewhat topsy
turvy as ii. Is, and the sooner they (the
corporations) start their preliminary
work, which must bo done before the
paving is begun, the quicker tile whole
job will be over and the appearances of
the street materially Improved."
There is every reason to believe that
the .Houston Street matter will come up
for discussion of some kind this aftor-
noon. This improvement project is the
all-important proposition before the city
lawmakers Just now. As signified by the
stand taken by Alderman Mauermann
last Monday, there is some Inclination
on the part of the city government to
see the long-pending subject disposed of.
Outside of routine petitions there is
little else to take up the time of the
Council this afternoon.

LARGE ATTENDANCE
HAS BEEN ASSURED

ment was in City Cemetery No. 3.

ents of the dead boy, arrived In the city

terday afternoon and were at once taken
to the home of Theodore Martinez. 1417
South Flores Street, from which place
the funeral was held at !i o'clock.
Juan M. Elizondo, father of the dead
boy, is a prominent merchant In Mon-
terey. After viewing the bodv of his
son yesterday afternoon he said: "it is
indeed sad, but I realize his death is the
result of a child's difficulty, in which I
do not hold the other boy responsible.
His untimely death is a great shock to
us."
M. M. Schott, father of Martin Schott,
with whom young Elizondo was fighting,
was much depressed yesterday and said
the affair was a deplorable one. He ten-
dered to the bereaved parents of the
dead boy all sympathy possible.

COCKE ANNOUNCES
HE WILL NOT RUN
No additional returns came In from the
county yesterday and It Is probable that
none will be In until this afternoon or
probably tomorrow morning. The re-
turns must be in in time to be counted
before the county convention. Tho coun-
ty convention will convene Tuesday after-
noon at 12:30 o'clock in Market Hall.
It Is understood tho vote was very light
In tho county, however, anil the ad-
ditional returns are not looked forward
to with any anxiety by either faction.
They will probably add slightly to the
Bailey majority.
Names Confuse Mexicans.
There were many amusing features to
tho election Saturday. One of them was
the difficulty experienced by tho Mexican
voters in boxes 1, 2, 3, 4 and lti in getting
tho name of Cone Johnson in their minds.
They are fairly well acquainted with
local politicians ami can remember the
English names with little difficulty but
the new ones were hard. They had some
trouble with Bailey also. "Bailey" to a
Mexican looks very much like the Span-
ish word "baile," which means a dance,
and Uiat amused them somewhat, but as-
sisted them In remembering the name, i
The Cone part ol' Johnson's name was
soon twisted considerably. By the time
many of tile voters got to the polls they
were Instructing tho judges and clerks to
scratch the name of "Corral" Johnson.
Others said they wanted to voto for
Bailey, and when asked about he rest of
the ticket became suspicious, thinking
that it was some trick to make them vote
the wrong way, so they Instructed that
every name be scratched cxcept that of
J. W. Bailey.
Mayor Worked Hard.
Mayor Callaghan was on hand. During
the entire day he was driving from one
polling place to another in his buggy in-
quiring about the result and giving in-
structions to thoso who were working at
the polls for the Bailey ticket. He was
greeted with cheers at most of the poll-
ing places. That little plain buggy and
big dark horse have been through many
campaigns when broadsides ol' ballots
were ruthlessly mowing down candidates.
There is some connection here between
the heat of the battle and that horse and
buggy. They are usually at tho same
point at the same time and the directing
land of the Mayor is welcomed by his
partisans on election day at any poll.
The Mayor apparently never made a
greater effort to poll his full strength
than ho made on Saturday.
Cocke Will Not Run.
"I do not regard the vote in Bexar
County Saturday as an expression of the
people on tho Bailey question," said Wil-
liam A, Cocke yesterday afternoon, when
asked about tho election in this county.
"It is merely a strong machine vote
which was polled with considerable en-
ergy and in the second place tho vote was
not large enough In this county to indi-
cate any considerable degree of interest.
"1 find one consolation In tho vote in
this county and that is that it relieves
me of the unpleasant necessity of run-
ning again for an office I do not want.
I have not wanted to run for the Legis-
lature again but my friends in other
parts of the State have insisted. Tho
vote In thi:i county. 1 think, will satisfy
them. I can 111 afford to lose so much
time in Austin as much as I would like
to be there to participate in the Bailey
controversy in the event it comes up
again. I would not like to discuss tho
vote In the State until it Is counted and
can be analyzed to better advantage.
The only comment I will make at this
time is that I am always willing to be
In the minority if tho minority is right "
Will Keep Up the Fight
Marshall Hicks, an alternate on the
anti-Bailey ticket. Is not discouraged
over the outcome of Saturday's pri-
maries.
"By reason of the light vote, the con-
trol of the political machinery of the
State, splendid organization and the use
of all money necessary to carry out the
plan to bring out every vote, Senator
Bailey received a majority of the votes
cast," said Mr. Hlcke last night.
"Tho showing made by the anti-Ballev
forces Is remarkable. They had no or-
ganization and no money, and yet they
cast about 4"> per cent of the votes.
Every vote against Senator Bailey was
a protest. It was a declaration that the
voters thought that our Senator was un-
true to Texas, and was in secret league
with the enemies of the people of this
State.
"No other United States Senator will
go to Denver as a delegate to the Na-
tional convention against the protests of

"Senator Bailey won nothing by his
fight. He gave his opponents the op-
portunity to lay bare his record, and
they have done so. Ho is weaker today
politically than he was a month ago. Jo

TRAFFIC IS HEAVY ON ALL THE

Summery Conditions Lend Much Ani-
mation to the Resorts—Great Host
8pends Afternoon and Even-
at the Electric Park.
Southern sunshine, bringing with it an
abundance of warmth, was the bill of-
fered San Antonlans along with their
Sunday recreation yesterday. Following
the cool weather of the preceding week,
the summery conditions gave renewed
life to the parks and resorts about the
city, where the majority of pleasure-
seekers forgot the cares of business.
Travel was heavy on all of the lines
of the traction company. In order to ac-
commodate the traffic cars were operated
on a two-minute headway between Alamo
Plaza and San Pedro Park. Tho traffic
held up well after nightfall, and the last
car for the city brought In tho stragglers
who remained for the finish at the parks.
The largest crowd of the day assem-
bled at Electric Park, where the ball
game and a score of entertaining conces-
sions furnished the amusement, with a
free band conoert and good vaudeville
thrown In. From early In the afternoon
until late at night the park had its quota
of visitors.
In other parks there were scenes of
animation. There was a great vehicle
parado in Brackenridge Park, and there
were scores of those who came merely
to tred the enticing and winding paths
that thread their way through the wide
estate.
West End. the Hot Wells, Alamo
Heights, Government Hill and other
suburbs were objective points for others
who spent a portion of the day in the
opon.
Apparently all got the worth of their
money.

Diamonds
Are no more a luxury than buy-
ing a city lot. With the former,
it grows In value every year—
with the latter, It 1b but a form
ol' speculation.
A diamond well bought (you
take no chance with a reliable
jeweler) never diminishes In
value. To one who knows, It
looks like a certified check—
Good collateral, don't you know?
Twenty-six years in the jewelry
business has established a confi-
dence among our patrons that we
jealously guard and tenaciously
hold on to.

With a well-aimed shot, A. W. Houston
killed a coyote in his front yard on Pecan
Street shortly after 8 o'clock last night.
Comfortably see^d on their front gal-
lery discussing current events with a
number of friends, Mr. and Mrs. Houston
were startled at seeing a wild coyote
start up the steps to where they were
sitting. On the gallery with Mr. and
Mrs. Houston were J. E. Fitzgerald, Leon
Walthall and A. W. Houston Jr.
The coyote was first scared away, al-
though the animal returned later and
Btarted on a wild run around the house,
somewhat frightening the occupants.
With this Mr. Houston Sr. secured his
bird gun and as the coyote made the
third round let it have the full charge
while on the dead run.
It Is very probable the animal escaped
from some of the shows that have been
In the city," said Mr. Houston last night,
•'but at that I couldn't stand having it
run about my place."
