FRANCIS LEE MOORE
GIVES A RECITAL
Young El Paso Pianist Pleases
Large and Fashionable Au-
dience With Music.
A piano recital given by Francis
Lee Moore at the home of his sister,
Mrs. W. R. Brown, on West Rio
Grande ’street, attracted a large and
fashionable audience, including many
of the music lovers of the city.
Mr. Moore’s performance was a re-
markable one—all the more striking,
from the fact that the selections, with
one or two exceptions were of the
heavy classical order, which gave the
artist no chance to score with his audi-
ence with any melody or dramatic
effects. HiB success, evidenced by
breathless attention during his per-
formanee.aud the applafee at the
elosd of each number, was gained
through his brilliant. and virtually
perfect technique, and the purity,
sweetness, volume and power of his
tones.
Mr. Moore Is an El Pasoan and is
full Of the loyal El Paso spirit. When
one of his enthused hearers said to
him, after his performance, “El Paso
should be proud of you,” he answered,
"No, I am proud to be an El Pasoan.'
The fact that Mr. Moore intends mak
ing his home here means that he'
will build up a school of music in
El Paso which will do away with
the necessity of students going to
eastern and northern music centers
to finish their musical education.
Last night's program follows:
Part One.
(ft) Prelude and Fugue No. 4 .....Bach

Unless a man can read and speak
English he has no business on the
police force. This is the conclusion
reached by the police commissioners.
At their meeting yesterday after-
noon the police commissioners were
discussing the necessity for contin-
ually changing the beat of the patrol-
men, and Chairman ' Wyatt said that
it could not be done as long\as some
of the officers were unable to speak
English; that the Spanish-speaking
patrolmen had to be kept in the Mex-
ican section of town.
Must Speak and Read English.
Commissioner Happer said that a
man could not' qualify for a position
on the police force unless he could
speak and read English. H? said that
unless a man could stand examination
under the manual the commissioners
had no light to reepmmend him for
appointment on the force.
No Interpreter at Examination.
Chief Jenkins was instructed to no-
tify his men to get ready for Rn ex-
amination In the manual in a few
days. The examination will be con-
ducted without an interpreter and
the officer who fails to qualify will
be listed for dismissal from the farce.
Smith’s Case Settled.
The commissioners accepted the
resignation of Detective Billy Smith
from the police force and agreed that
the charges preferred against him by
David Shnur had not been sustained.
When the commissioners met Chair-
man Wyatt said he understood Mr.
Smith wanted to resign and as he
believed the commissioners were
more than willing, he instructed the
chief to call in Mr. Smith. Asked If
he desired to say anything to the
board, Mr. Smith said:
Smith’s Statement.
"I am not asking to get back on the
police force, for 1 do not expect to get
on the police force as long as Mr.
Jenkins is there. But I want to clear
my character so that I can go out
here In El Paso and make a living for
my wife and four children.”
Chief Jenkins Talks.
Chief Jenkins stated he wanted it
distinctly understood that lie was no
prompted by spite, jealousy or person-
al feeling, as had been stated by Mr.
Smith.
Resignation Accepted.
The commissioners .lien went uto
executive session for five minutes and
on reopening toe doors Cnalrman Wy-
att said the commissioners had failed
to find anything in the charges pre-
ferred agaltfst Smith by David Shnur
and had accepted Mr. Smith's resigna-
tion, dismissing all other charges
against him.
Juvenile Criminals.
A communication was read from
.Judge Eylar of the county court, sug-
gesting co-operation between the city-
police and the county court to get rid
of the gang of juvenile criminals in
fc rting El Paso.
He said that a reform school bad
been established by the state at
Gatesville and he thought he could
arrange to have that school take the
bad boys from El Paso. He had asked
tfre district court to send its juvenile
offenders over to his court and- he
vented the city to do the same.
Tho suggestions struck the police
commissioners as timely and they
recommended that the chief aid the
county authorities 'in gathering up
boys in need of reformation.
Mutt Pay Their Debts.
A communication was read from a
real estate firm complaining that
Policeman J. A. Alderete owed the
firm $26 rent for a house and re-
fused to pay It, - Chief Jenkins was
instructed to have Officer Alderete
before the commissioners next Friday.
A meat market filed complaint
against Officer Powell Roberts for not
paying for $32 worth of meat bought
last year. This officer too was in-
structed to appear before the commis-
sioners Friday.
Chairman Wyatt declared that the
men must pay their bills If they hope
to stay on the force.
Granted Leave of Absence.
Officer Tom Cain was granted leave
of absence for 90 days.
Officer W. N. Elliott who has not
bad a lay off In seven years was

Do You Think Uncle Sam’s
* Whiskey (Test the Best?
Here is everything that yonr Uncle Sam requires of whiskey before he
will place the little green stamp over the cork of the bottle:
That it pass the test of the U. S. gauger as coming up to the governmental
standard of purity, being straight, 100 proof, full measure and aged at
least four years. Here is the famous Cedar Brook test: -
Not only must all the requirements of Uncle Sam
be met, but there must be quality supreme, a wonder-
ful flavor, delicacy, smoothness, individuality. It
must be aged six to eight years.
Only choicest selected grains and purest spring
water used.

Compare the age. It will show you the difference
in the tests. Uncle Sam requires four years, while
Cedar Brook requires six to eight. It has the green
stamp on every bottle, and it meets the Cedar Brook
test, TOO. Tree world’* best whiskey since 1847.
