5. That they rejected the claim of Ludwig

such Items as were O. K. by the authorised

6. That the remaining accounts of the

ined and found to be correct.
The action of the Finance Com-

committee a special committee consisting of
Messrs. J. Rome and II. Ryder-Taylor were
appointed to make further Inquiries and re-
port at the next meeting.

will be able to refund more when the ac-
counts are finally closed.
The Finance committee were instructed to
act in receitlng and passing on just accounts
and then the Executive committee adjourned
to await the call of the Finance committee.

Miss Claire Scott Appears us Queen Katli-
erlne and as Lueretln llorffta.
Miss Claire Scott appeared yesterday in
Victor Hugo's Lucretla Borgia and Shakes-
peare's Henry the VIII but in undertaking
those plays It was apparent that the company
was overweighted. Doth plays require good
scenery magnificent dresses and a strong all
round company and in these points the com-
pany Is deficient. Of Miss Claire Scott's
Queen Katherine and her Lucretla Borgia
we must speak highly lor they are careful and
artistic Impersonations. Mr. S. K. Coburn
too as Wolsey and Genwarro was heard to
advantage his lines being well delivered. Mr.
R. Darrctt as Cromwell was an impersona-
tion worthy of the careful young actor. The
remainder of Ihe cast were decidedly out ol
place.
Miss Scott and Mr Coburn have pleased
the San Antonio public. We hope to see them
again for they are meritorious legitimate ac-
tors but we sincerely hope for their own rep-
utation that Ihey will bring better support
and only take such plays as are within the
calibre of the company they bring.
A BEATING CASE.
Hut It Appears the V lalntltT Did ss Little
Thieving 011 Ills Own Account
Louis Krempkau was charged with beating
and striking James McLane and truly
James' eye looked as though something had
hit it. McLane said he went into the saloc n
where Krempkau was tending bar to get his
coat and as far as he could remember he did
nothing but Krempkau hit him. The latter
ssld he had acause. "I don't want to hear any-
thing which his nothing to do with the case"
said the Recorder but nevertheless Krempkau
continued his tale much to the satisfaction ol
the reporters present. Times are dull so the
newspaper men pricked up thtlr ears and
listened. McLane It appears stole a coat
from the saloon and went through a railroader
to the amount of $6 lie was formerly a bar
keeper at Ihe saloon and after the little esca-
pade was told not to come In Ihe saloon again;
however he ill J go again and Krempkau
says called him names challenging him to a
combat outside. The former thought he
would have It inside and began operations on
James' left eye which he colored considera-
bly. The case was dismissed. An affidavit
will be made against James Mcl-ane for
theft.

Ml.. Clislre Scott .Makes Home Forcible
Comments 011 the Show lluelneee.
The city editor of the Light had an enjoy-
able conversation with Miss Claire Scott In
which she observed 1 "Show people In New
York seem to Imagine that anything will do
for Texas but In this Ihey are mistaken. I
find a Texas audience as well Informed and as
critical as those of Northern cities and know
that merit only is the way to success here.
Show people think if you take lots of paper
you attract an audience whether you please
them or not and these things injure the busi-
ness. The press of Teias are doing good
service In sitting down on snide shows and
are enhancing the value of their critiques by
making them reliable. As for me speak and
write of me as I am. I desire nor seek no
other notice than an honest reporter thinks I
deserve."
THE LUCINDA SULLIVAN CASE.
The Frail Ward is Placed With the Super
Intendent of the Four House.
Yesterday Mr.W. B. Duncan appeared be-
fore Judge Minn to show cause why the or-
der of guardianship In the case of I.ucinda
Sullivan should not be revoked.
Mrs. Grl.zcl was the only witness examined
and she declared that she had seen Mr. Dun-
can and his ward Lucinda Sullivan in the
same bed together and covered by the same
blanket during his wife's absence.
On this testimony Judge Mason revoked
the order of guardianship placing the girl
under the care of Mr. Delaroche Superin-
tendent of the poor house and said that as a
charge of adultery had been preferred against
Mr. Duncan he would not prejudice the case
by imposing any fine.

BOSTON FRAUDS.
Halpcrt the forger Traced to San Anto-
nio and Said to be Related to the
llalpert Arrested Here.
ltnbbl t.euenlhal inters Ills Protest
.igainet llalpert llelng Described
As a Jc
or an Israelite.
The Galveston News correspondent.wrltlng
of the Halpcrt case states 1 "In confirma-
tion of Intimations in these dispatches In the
matter of the arrest of Robert llalpert In this
city for complicity In the $30000 forgery on
Kidder Peabody & Co. of Boston it Is now
known that Ihe actual forger arrived in this
city on the heels of his supposed brother's at-
tempt to negotiate with Groos & Co. bank-
ers of this city for too 000 milks and $3000
In Meiican gold. He reached here on the
International railway regislered at Ihe princi-
pal hotel under the name of Hirschfeldt and
was met on the same evening by prearrange-
ment by Robert llalpert who conveyed him
to his residence on Government hill where
he has lived for some time. The result of the
conference is not known but the following
morning Deney alias llalpert of Boston left
for San Francisco by rail where he was ar-
rested. It Is alleged by parties in a position
to know that the pals connected with this and
previous forgeries for which Dewey Is wanted
will embrace not lets than 13 persons all of
whom with probably tn exceptions are
Israelites and all of whom have been and are
still in this city and its environs.
"Telegrams indicating that the above are
ficts arc said to have been transmitted recently
to this city and is Ihe basis of the operations
of the Boston officers in this State. The
ramification of Ihe gang promises to be of
more Interest than Is now indicated by news-
papers and officers and others who have
attempted to keep current with the affair are
looking for sensational developments. Owing
to delays and ralsconnectlons the arrival of
Halpcrt arrested In San Francisco is not ex-
pected here before Thursday or Friday when
the habeas corpus case of the local Halpcrt
will be heard"
Rabbi Lewenthal has Issued a card com-
menting on the Item in which he says t
" The resident correspondent of the Gilves-
ton News stites ih his San Anionto dispatches
under date of October 23 in reference to the
llalpert forgeries : 1 It is alleged by parties
in a position to know that the pals connected
with this and previous forgeries for which
Dewey is wanted will embrace not less than 13
persons all of whom with probably two ex-
ception. are Israelites and all of whom have
been and are still in this city and its en-
virons.' Now I emphatically deny that Rob-
ert llalpert Is an Israelite and doubt If any of
his 'pals are; that is not connected wllh
Jewish congregations. Robert llalpert might
hsve been born of Jewish parents but to
my knwledge he has never affiliated with the
Jewish congregation in this city. But suppose
he is an Israelite (I say he is nol) docs that
Justify the correspondent of the Galveston
News to herald it to the world t Did he like
wise inform the readers of the News whether
Polk Vincent Wasson and a host of others
are Methodists Baptists Episcopalians etc.
etc. t It seems to me that the correspondent
ot the Galveston News should know better."
The correspondent referred to is a very
able and liberal man who would not willingly
insult the nation Mr. Lewenthal represents.
The term "Jew and Israelite" is simply to de-
note the race to which llalpert belongs as
" German" "English" "French" would
be used and has no reference whatever to his
religious belief.
