Evidences of murder committed two
weeks or/a month ago were disclosed in
the river Thursday morning by Rodriga
Navaira, an employe of River Commis-
sioner Huntress' department. Navaira
hi ought to the surface from the bottom
of the river what seemed to be a paste-
board shirt box containing an infant's
body. So badly decomposed was the
body that only one of the lower limbs
and a portion of the trunk could be
brought to shore by Navaira. The find
was made near Washington Street.
These portions of the body he placed
in a boat awaiting the arrival of Com-
missioner Huntress. As Navaira did not
find nim Thursday, he placed his grue-
some find on the river bank for the
night and yesterday morning notified
Mr. Huntress, who in turn notified Jus-
tice Fisk and Constable Stevens.
1 he latter two viewed the remain-
ing portions of the body yesterday morn-
ing, and it was necessary to immediately
order an interment. This was done on
the river bank near the crossing of
Aransas Street.
It was stated by the officers that the
body was that of a young white child.
They expressed the belief that the body
lain in the water two weeks or pos-
sibly a month.

tery. the officers being without means

John W. Warren, the Junior member
Of the firm of Coffman & Warren, has
written the advertising manager of The
Daily Express a letter detailing a long
string of troubles over an ad that was
inserted in the want columns yesterday.
Mr. Warren is ordinarily a mild tempered
gentleman and is noted among his friends
for the peacefulness of his nature, but
the "worm will turn" when crowded too
close and Air. Warren lias been backed
into a corner. As an evidence of fair
play The Express is going to let the
public know just how Mr. Warren feels
about the matter and publishes below the
full text of his very warm epistle:
••Advertising Manager, The Daily Ex-
press, City:
"Dear Sir- Yesterday afternoon I left
copy for an 'ad' to be Inserted in your
paper and paid for ten consecutive in-
sertions to begin with today's issue.
I no ad was in substance that 1 had
two horses for sale, describing them, et< .
Between 5 and fi o'clock this morning mv
phone rang and I hustled out of lied to
find someone wanting further informa-
tion . about those horses.
Before breakfast the cook announced
a man at the back gate wanting to sec
'Dem ii osses.' In the meantime th<-
phone rang again before 1 could get a
Into to cat—then two gentlemen drove-
up wanting to try the horses; before we
could hitch up another man came i>u
toot, but it is too long a story to re-
count ail the calls and troubles resulting
from this -ad.' Suffice It to say I sold
the horses before coming to town tins
morning and on my arrival at the office
found one party waiting and several bad
phoned about those horses; at noon
my wife notified me of several other in-
quiries about those horses. Now, will
you kindly cut this 'ad' out of vour
paper at once -do it now—don't let it
appear again -the horses are sold ; would
be glad for you to use un part of the
space I paid for, telling the reading pub-
lic I have no more horses for sale-
then perhaps I can slc-p until breakfast
is ready anil get to attend to some
other matters of business tomorrow.
Trusting you will comply promptly with
above request for mv relief. I ,-un
lours truly, JOHN W. WARREN."

The belief seems to be general that San
Antonio should be well represented at th<
convention of the Five Million Club to be
held at El Paso on August 16 and 17 and
such being the case, it is altogether
probable that the Alamo City will be
Well represented.
The members of the committee ap-
pointed by President Nat M. Washer of
the Business Men's Club at the instance
of General Manager George L. Rockwell
of the Five Million Club to represent
San Antonio at this grand rally of the
business interests of Texas, seem to be a
little doubtful as to the nature of the
duties entailed upon them by this desig-
nation. All, however, even those who
entertain doubts as to their ability to at-
tend, appear to be impressed with the
desirability of such a convention and
agree that it will be productive of much
population increase

good as far
in the Lone Star State is concerned It
is expected that many San Antonfans
besides the members of the committee
will attend and it is believed that this
number will he larger perhaps than
otherwise, owing to assurance, in ad-
vices received from El Paso, that Secre-
tary of the Interior Garfield will visit
that city during the convention.
As yet the members of the committee
have not been notified by Mr. Rockwell
either of their respective appointments
or as to the duties . xpeeted of them and
consequently they have very little to
say- concerning the matter save that the
enterprise is most commendable and can-
not be other than prolific of much good
to the State. W. F. Woods is unwilling
to make a statement regarding the mat-
ter until h" is cognizant of the details,
knowing nothing of the matter save that
he noted the head lines ,»f the article in
yesterday's Issue. N. S. Graham was
also unfamllliar with the plans for the
convention and did not believe that he
would be able to attend. He expressed
himself, however, as being wholly in ac-
cord with the action of the Five Million
Club and believed that the club will do
much for Texas by promoting immigra-
tion to th" State. J. W. Mudge says
that he has not yet been notified of his
appointment as a committeeman and has
i;"t given tiie matter much thought but
that h" thinks the convention idea a
good "lie and believes that the Five .Mil-
lion Club will do much good for Texas.
Nat M. Washer is of the opinion that
San Antonio should be well represented
at the convention. He says that the
Five Million Club's project should be en-
couraged and that Texas has already
reaped many benefits from the work of
the club. He says that there has been
a belief on the part of some that there
existed ;i "graft" for s >m'e one in the
Five Million Club boom but he is confi-
dent that this is not th* case. He says
that be is one of the directors of the
club and, .as such, is not < ognizant of the
e\istance of any "graft" whatsoever.
San Antonio being an important factor
in the commercial enterprises of th"
State, according to Mr. Washer, should
figure prominently in all undertakings
of the club and the citizens should give
tho club their hearty support. In saying
this M?. Washer wishes it clearly under-
stood that he is speaking merely from a
personal standpoint and not as president
of the Business Men's Club as the Five
Million Club matter has never been dis-
cussed by that organization.

After a laps1 of approximately six

That San Antonio,
in the State, lias no
has been a subjc« t if
for th" last three year-
(•oubtedly scores of ;
men in the city as can
city in the country, but they apear
have taken no interest in military affairs
for the las! few years. Now, however,
their patriotism appears to have been
aroused and they will undoubtediv
have ;i well equipped and thorough!*'-
drilled company before another year
1 passes.
Fifteen years ago San Antonio had two
fit the best military organizations in
the State. Th-y were the Pelknap
RI lies. »t' which Robert Green was cap-
tain for manv wars, and the San An-
tonio Rifles, of which Frank Badger
was captain. Moth companies won hon-
ors, and tho Belknai) Rifles was con-
sidered one of the best organization?
in tho South, lu.ving won honors or
nearly evt ry occasion
The San Antonio Rif. was com posed

thrce to thirty years -»f age, while the
Pelknap* w re young r. After several

First Lieut. Lovick p. Pinkston of the
United States Marine Corps, now de-
tached on recruiting service, was in San
Antonio yesterday and arranged for the
opening. 011 Aug. 1, of a marine recruit-
ing station in this city. The station will
be in rooms 1 and 2 of the Henry Terrell
1 building, 210 Avenue I), and will be under
immediate supervision of Second
ut.. J. R. Horton.
Lieut. Pinkston is in charge of a re-
cruiting detail of three officers and ten
men. They have been in Texas since
January and during that time they have
enlisted approximately 250 men in the
service. Altogether they received Iikm)
applications for information, 487 of which
were rejected, while approximated 900 ap-
plied for information and did not enlist.
Lieutenant Pinkston's record in enlist-
ing men since being in Texas lias broken
all the records for the year in the Naval
Department .the next highest being far
down the lino.
It was during the early summer of I90tf
that Lieutenant Pinkston was detailed
011 recruiting service in charge of a party
ot ten men and three officers. His sta-
tions were to be principally in the North
and a lew cities of the Southern States. 1
Shortly after being detailed on tills serv-
ice. however, the Lieutenant asked the
Marine Department to send him to Texas
He explained that Texas was his native
State and that he was sure many were |
willing to enlist in the Marine Corps 1
from this State. At first his superiors
would hardly listen to him. They said
that Texas was too far away from the
center of action and it would cost too
much money to get the men transported
Besides this, they did not believe that
lexas recruiting stations wjould bear
iruit.
Lieutenant Pinkston did not give up
however. Instead he got the railroads to
make a special rate 011 marine recruits
and with this and several weeks of work-
ing the wares he won his victory and was
sent to Texas. Since being here his work
has been so fruitful that the department
has commended him several times.
When the recruiting station opens here
ii will remain for possibly three months
as the officers want to gor manv voung
men into th.- marine service. In Hous-
ton they enlisted the son of ex-Governor
Hogg and several other prominent young
men, who enlisted because they want to
see the world.

spent on land and two on sea but ap-
proximately three years of the entire
time ale spent either in foreign lands or

that the ne'w recruits are sent at once
