Maurice J. Sullivan city architect
stated Wednesday upon his return from
an inspection of expositions in th North
that Houston's commercial greatness will
lie in Its trade with South America. 'and
added that a permanent municipal ex-
position supporting a commercial mu-
seum would be the most efficient adjunct
the city could secure In establishing
greater trade connections between this
p.ace and South American ports.
The work of completing these trade re-
lations he explained would take up sev-
eral years but could be effected through
the services of an expert field agent
whose duties would be to Interest (south
American countries In Houston's exposi-
tion and have them send exhibits here
yearly. To this end he recommended
that such an expert be employed and
advocated the selection of one from the

Mr. Sullivan also studied high school
building methods while on hla trip with
the view to applying any new ideas he
might obtain to the construction of the
city's recently proposed central hign
school. His choice rested upon the West-
brook high school ut Kansas City Kan.

coat of )S00 000. This he believed would
be a good model for Houston's new high
school.

partment who Is now in Houston in con-
nection with the Woman's Fair that he
is willing to bring the exhibit here It the
premiums are sufficiently attractive.
The exhibit Is an exhaustive collection
of county products and native growths

place before the bar of Justice was rfjflde
by Morris Senft In the United States court
Wednesday morning Just before he was
sentenced" to a year and a day In the fed-
eral prison at Atlanta by Judge Burns.
Senft was charged with llllcjt retail liquor
dealing.
"instead of me two other men ought to
be here" Honft protested In broken Eng-
lish. "I have never Intended to be here.
1 always tried to be good."
He declared that if he were given the
assistance of officers he could prove that
the two men he had In mind were guilty
of the offense with which he was charged.
Cutting a steak In two and serving it to
two men who were "hounding" him in-
stead of serving them two steaks led to
his undoing he said. These two men he
asserted had been "eating off of" nim at
his restaurant for a long time and he
grew tired of it. So he told his waiter to
cut their steak in two pieces and serve It
that way the next time they came In in-
stead of giving them two steaks. The
men never paid tor what they ate he
said.
The cutting ot the steak made the men
"sore" the prisoner declared and thev
threatened him. They made good the
threat according to Senft who almost
sobbing told Judge Burns that he had
been "Jobbed" In every plac'e he had
worked.
At one point In his recital he ran to
the door or the court room and half open-
ed It to Illustrate something to the judge.
Two deputy United States marshals
sprang up from their seats apparently
thinking that his illustration might be a
ruse to escape. It was not however.
Senft was given a Jail sentence last
year under a similar charge.
