PAT HARRISON IN HAPPY VEIN IN COMMENTS \ Reviews Surrender of Old Guard Republicans to ‘Agricultural Bloc.* By WALLACE BASSFORD. WASHINGTON, Oct. IS.—Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi was in a pavticnlarly happy rein when he discovered that Wall street’s great organs, the Journal of Commerce and the Wall Street Journal had. like the parrot, talked too much. He read to the Senate the opinions of these papers o$ the recent “surrender ’ of the old guard Republicans to the socalled “Agricultural bloc,” with his own comments. Among other things, he said: “Do Senators know what the New York Journal of Commerce said about that meeting at the White House on the following morning* Here is what they Mid—and they knew; they were speaking by the canal —” ‘A new era in the relationship of the United States Govern ment and the Nation's financial and business leaders is believed to have been inaugurated In the conference to which President Harding summoned several New York bankers on Wednesday night. These bankers returning yesterday from the meeting, which was participated in by representatives of the Cabinet, observed the customary reticence in discussing what had taken place. They did not, however, hesitate to show their gratification at the development.’ COMMENTS ON WILLINGNESS TO LEARN. “The next day this same Journal of Commence said: “ ‘One thing which Wall street took extreme satisfaction in yesterday was the evident willingness of .President Harding to learn. He admittedly is not an expert in financial affairs, but he is ready to accept advice and willing to be set right where he is wrong. 1 “Those were the views entertained on Wall street after that meeiing; but yesterday anew light broke in that part of the great metropolis. How does the Wall street crowd now feel since the old guard that promised them relief has surrendered without giving battle? Here is what they say. This is from the Wall Street Journal of yesterday. Oh, they have changed their views now. Let me read. “ ‘Compromise is justifiable when desirable ends can be achieved in no other way and no principle is sacrificed. The House and Senate revenue bills were examples of compromise that accomplished at least an installment of tax amelioration. The pusillanimous surrender of Republican leaders is in no sense a compromise.’ “They were talking about you then — “ ‘lt is a cowardly retreat —’ "Listen to it, may I ask the Senator from Indiana. I am afraid he did not catch that last expression. “ ‘The pusillanimous surrender of Republican leaders is in no sense a compromise.’ CALLS ON FRIEND FROM INDIANA. "This is from the Wall Street Journal. This is the organ controlled by the same Interests that said, the (jay following the conference at the White House between Morgan and Sabin and President Harding, that anew day was dawning in America. So 1 read further, to delight, I am sure, of my friend from Indiana, and I am glad the Senator from T'tah (Mr. Smoot) is listening: “ ‘lt is a cowardly retreat before a gang of demogogues. euphemistically called an agricultural bloc.’ “I am sorry that the leader of the majority party in the chamber is not

now in his seat, because he has gone over to the agricultural bloc. He has taken the reins from the Senator from lowa (Mr. Kenyon) who led In this movement. Oh, how these progressives of old have been supplanted by the progressives of today! La Follette, who sat on the Finance Committee for weeks and fought by the side of the Democratic members of that committee in the interest of the people to taxes — yes, he was In favor of retaining as a maximum a large surtax; but when this progressive element meets up at Senator Capper's house this former leader of progressivism 1* forgotten. This man who helped to make the fight In the committee is ostracized. The Senator from Idaho (Mr. Borah) and the Senator from far ancy California (Mr. Johnson), who were once known in this country as real progressives, have been supplanted by the Senator from Minnesota (Mr. Kellogg) and the Senator from Colorado (Mr. Nicholson) and the Senator from Nevada (Mr. Oddie) and those others who formerly belonged to the reactionary group. That is the way the world runs; and my friend, the Senator from Wisconsin (Mr. Lenroot) is now called a demagogue, and the Senator from Kansas (Mr. Camper), who opened his doors and filled' high the festive board to receive these distinguished new progressives and agriculturists from Boston and Chicago is called in this article a demagogue. “ ‘lt is a cowardly retreat before a gang of demagogues.’ "1 do not know In which class this paper has placed my friend, the distinguished Senator from Indiana (Mr. Watsofi), because he has been on both sides of the proposition, and I do not know whether he was charging or retreating; but, anyway, they say in one instance that he was pusillanimous, and in the other that he was a demagogue.” SHEEP GLANDS TO BRIGHTEN MINDS OF CHICAGO YOUTH - ■ Sub-Normal Pupils to Be Fed Diet to Change Vacant Stares. • CHICAGO, Oct. IS.—Sub-normal pupils of Chicago- public schools will be fed sheep glands to brighten their faculties, it became known today. Dr. Frank G. Bruner, director of special schools, said experiments are to start within a week. His announcement followed recommendations of Dr. Allen Hruby of the Chicago Tuberculosis Society and Dr. A. S. Hirshfield of the city health department. Exact nature of the experiments was not disclosed, but Dr. Bruner said the glands would be prepared in the public school kitchens and fed to the children who are belcw par In their studies. According to Dr. Bruner, several thousand i children will be given the treatment.. The vacant stare on the faces of pupils will change soon after the treatment is administered, it was said. Dr. Bruner said experiments with monkey glands had restored vitality in many cases. “We intend to put new brains into the minds of pupils by use of the sheep glands,” he said. RECEIVER FOR LAFAYETTE CAR CO. R. W. Levering was named as receiver | of the Lafayette Service Company, which operates the street car lines in Lafayette by Judge Anderson in Federal Court yesterday. His bond was fixed at $5,000. The i Court ordered that all claims against the company be filed within ninety-days.

FISH AND GAME WARDENS NAB 130 IN MONTH Arrests Result in 123 Convictions and $2,644 in Fines, Costs. During the month of September, 1921, wardens of the State conservation department arrested 130 persons charged | with violating fish and game laws. Os this number 123 were convicted arid paid fines and costs totaling $2,044.05. In September, 1920, a total of eightysix arrests were made with eighty convictions and fines and costs aggregating $1,837.60. according to George N. Mannfeld, chief of the fish and • game division. Hunting and fishing without licenses constituted the chief offense for! which forty-five persons were arrested this September. Twenty-three were apprehended for possession of fur bearing animals out of season; nineteen for possession of thirteen for hunting on Sunday, seven for shooting on public j highways, and six for taking undersized bass. The open season for shooting prairie chickens opened in Indiana on Oct. 15, and closes Oct. 31, Mr. Mannfeld points out. The bag limit is five per day. Mr. Mannfeld called attention today that the case of Henry Beeler of Indianapolis, arrested Aug. 10 for seining in White Lick creek near Brooklyn, will come to trial in the Morgan Circuit Court at Martinsville on Nov. 16. Lieutenant Governor Emmett Branch has been retained by the conservation commission to assist the county prosecutor, Orla A. Smith. Following the Beeler trial cases against George N. Baker, William E. Fields and I John Fields, all members of the Indianj apolls police force, arrested as members I of the Beeler seining party and similarly , charged with Beeler, will be tried. Regardless of the outcome of the Beeler trial, each of the other defendants will be tried, Mr. Mannfeld asserts. SAN ANTONIO WINS PRAISE FROM HOOVER (Continued From Page One.)

fhey iay "Sa'n A'nttfhtd knows Mexico better than the people of “The Pass.” And San Antonio's knowledge comes from long experience. S'n Antonio Is more Spanish than any other city in the United States. With the Alamo, the Missions, the great old cathedral, the palacg of the Governor, now used as a Chinese mission, but still bearing on Its walls the coat of arms of the Hapsburgs, the last Hapsburgs in the royal house of Spain; with its Span-lsh-American markets; with its open-air restaurants, where a good number of Mexicans eat at crude tables while food, highly spiced, is cooked in. crude ovens, or fireplaces by their side; with much of the old side by side, with much of the new to be found in the old part of the city: with tolling of cathedral bells to mark each passing hour, as the hours have been marked for centuries in San Antonio; with patios in many a stately old home, a delightful one in the Menger Hotel; with palms and flowers everywhere, and a merging of the past with the present on evry side, San Antonio has a character and charm all its own. GOOD DEMAND FOR LABOR. San Antonioians say their city has less unemployment than any city of its size in the United States. They add that theii problem is to get labor to work, rather than to get work for labor. Much of the labor hereabouts is Mexican. With high wages, they say, labor has been demoralized to some degree, earning enough in three days to loaf the otoher three. An appeal came the other day from a

large ranch seventy-five miles away from San Antonio for 500 men, but it was specified that only men who really would work were desired. Skilled labor in San Antonio gets from $5 to $lO a day for 8 hours, the rate varying in accoctUo.ce with the ability of the worker. Carpenters get from $5 to $7 and plumbers get $lO. Builders say construction costs are double what they were in 1914 and while there has been some improvement of late, the efficiency of the worker is below what it used to b& DEMAND FOR BUILDING. Construction work in the San Antonio territory has been almost wholly residential. There Is a strong demand for dwellings, more than can be met. The railroad people say they have not reduced forces. On the contrary, they have Increased them except In the shops. Flour mills rre very active, their production is ahead of last year. A majority of the manufacturing establishments in the San Antonio territory are declared to be working full time. Department store managers, as a general rule, say business is good despite the fact that various of them had consider-

An Instantaneous Success From the First Opening Shot We Were Forced to Lock Our Doors The opening shots in this big Money-Raising Sale were fired last Saturday at 9 a. m. as advertised. When the doors were thrown open we were swamped. Although we had provided an extra sales force they were covered up. The doors had to be locked to allow those already in our store a chance to be waited on—and so it went all during the day until the closing bell sounded, crowded with keen, eager buyers until the last drop of the hat. It was a wonderful response to the power of the low price. We wish to apologize to the many who did not get attended to, and promise that from now until the last day of this big sale we will have enough help to give the courteous service and attention we intended to. Further we wish to say the heavy selling of the opening days has only dented our large stocks.

able losses by reason of the flood, and sold a good deal of stuff for what it should bring. Generally, also, they report sales larger in units than last year with a considerably smaller total in money. This has forced some of them to give earnest attention to reducing overhead charges. Ft. (Jam Houston provides a lot of business for San Antonio. Its disbursements and those of subsidiary posts, approximate nearly $30,000,000 a year. If it had cheap power San Antonio would seem to be an excellent location for textile mills. There is a large cotton growing belt nearby. San Antonio is a primary market for wool, and the goat clip is big. Bdt San Antonio buys its cloth and manufactures garments out of them. It maxes overalls and jumpers, middles and aprons, mattresses and pillows, waists and petticoats, dresses and undergarments, kimonos, pajamas and skirts. It has some packing houses, rnd several good sized flour mills, foundries and machine works, cigar factories and candy manufactories. It probably makes and consumes more lee cream per capita than any other city in the United States. ,It has quite a number of creameries, and

a lot of chemical plants. Saddlery establishments of good size. for the bowboy Is still a factor In this part of the world. There are a few oil refineries, and some sash and door plants, together j with as miscellaneous a collection of small industries as you’ll find anywhere. There is one business in San Antonio that never knows a poor season. It's that of the making of chill powder and chili compounds. It turns out chili con carne, chill pepper sauce, chill powder, deviled chili meat, Mex*-an spices, tobasco sauce and a lot of other things that are hot stuff. It produces a combination of Mexican bean dressed with chili gravy, and another spaghetti, chili and cheese. A man who fed on the products of that establishment could go to the north pole clad In a Palm Beach suit, and at that might need a fan. Apparently there is going to be considerable house building here this winter. Railroad officials in this part of the country, particularly those of the smaller roads, say they have been buying material as they required it even if they have been at a low ebb. financially, at times in the last two years. The livestock people have been hit

hard by the depression In but they are confident the agricultural credits* act will help them considerably. Even if they have been hard pressed they have not neglected their herds. The present winter never saw range cattle in better condition than they are this season. The darkest side of the agricultural picture In Texas is that of cotton. Planters say the boll weevil is a worse danger now than ever before, and if some method Is not -discovered for destroying it, cotton cultivation is seriously menaced. Some of the stories they tell of the ravages of the weevil would be unbelievable if the curtailment of the crop did not furnish proof.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
