Brick Work
Is Finished
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C., April 16.—The
White House today announces that
Provisional President Huerta of Mex-
ico has practically agreed to salute
the American flag and thus yield to
all the American demands.
It is unofficially stated that if the
salute is fired some of the warships
which are now speeding to Mexico
will be turned back at sea. President
Huerta’s promise to salute the flag
was made to Charge O’Shaughnessy,
and the promise was reported to be
the result of last night’s executive
session of the Mexican senate to
which Huerta submitted the question
of saluting. Unless the Mexicari pres-
ident changes his mind the crisis will
be over within the next twenty-four
hours.
The foreign governments, through
their diplomatic representatives in
Mexico City had been urging Huerta"
to yield and many of his friends in
the United States had told him that
a salute was to the best interests of
vised the Mexican president that
there was no loss of dignity in salut-
ing the flag, pointing out as a shining
example that the United States once
saluted the flags of both Spain and
Brazil.
O’Shaughnessy’s messages are now
poming through without delay or cen-
sorship.
Secretary of State Bryan and Sen-
ator Shively emerged from the White
House smiling, bringing the first
nfews of Huerta's yielding.
The house foreign affairs commit-
tee today adopted this resolution:
"Resolved, That the president of the
United States in the Tampico incident
is sustained by the committee
foreigu affairs.” "
on
Huerta made the condition that the
/
United States also salute the Mexican
flag, but this is a customary proced-
ure and is understood to be perfectly
acceptable to the United States. The
only point yet unsettled is the exact
number of guns to make the salute.

committee had taken a thirty day op-
tion oil an eifht acre tract of land
north of Palestine avenue and east
of North Sycamore, the property *of
Mrs. Laura Phillips and -recommend-
ed that the fair association buy the
property at the price at which it is
offered in the option. The directors
endorsed the site selected, and will
also recommend its purchase. The
eight acre tra,ct is on one of' the
highest points in the city, lies beau-
tifully, and is within a fifteen minute
walk of the bungalow. Cement side-
walks at present extend almost all
the way to the point, and it is ap-
proachable from North Sycamore,
Laura, Cedar and Link streets. Alto-
gether it is believed to be quite a
find. The directors agreed that it
would require a larger stock capital-
ization than at present to handle the
deal, and quite a number of gentle-
men in the hieeting last night sub-
scribed for additional stock.
The directors expressed the desire
to buy the tract and get busy on im-
provements and have the same ready
for the annual Trainmen’s picnic in
May. And in order to hurry the mat-
ter along the president appointed a
committee of four, composed of J. W.
Ozment, T. M. Campbell, Jr., Chas.
Williams and S. V. Knighton, to so-
licit additional stock subscribers, and
a stockholders’ meeting has been
called for Monday night at which
time the directors will ask that the
capital stock be increased to ten
thousand dollars.

Arrangements
Are Completed
Hon. James E. Ferguson, candidate
for governor, will arrive in the city
tomorrow (Friday) at 1:10 o’clock,
and w-hile here will be a guest at the
Lindell Hotel, where reservation has
been made for him. Arrangements
have been made for the speaking on
McKnight Plaza, and the speaker, we
are advised, will he introduced by P.
H. Hughes. The candidate is a
stranger to Palestine, but his friends
vouch for him as a forceful speaker,
and will make an effort to have pres-
ent a large crowd to hear him.
Notice to*the Public.
In turning in fire alarms please.be
careful and give street and number
of house. The last three alarms only
gave the street, and one was turned
in, giving occupant’s name only.
When you turn in a fire alarm do not
get excited, but call central, giving
street and number of house. This will
add greatly to the efficiency of the
department in getting to fires quick-
ly. Vehicles will please turn to right,
getting as near curb as possible, and
stop whea fire apparatus is- coming
The committee in charge has defi-
nitely decided to locate the big re-
vival tabernacle on the. Ezell and
Weidermeyer lots, on John street, on
tae site of the recent fire. The lots
are one hundred and forty by one hun-
» a
dred and fifty feet, and the tabernacle
will cover a good part of the lots. To-
day a crew is busy clearing the lots
and grading them, and it is now pro-
posed to start work on the building
on Saturday morning, and have the
