INDIAN SHRINERS WILL MARCH HERE Mandan Group to Come Here From El Zagal Temple in Fargo, N. Dak. Indian Shriners, in genuine Indian costumes, will be a feature of the colorful parades during the Shrine convention here June 9 to 15, it was disclosed last night. The group will come from El Zagal Temple of Fargo, N. Dak., where they have organized the only group of real Indians in the Shrine through- out the country, known as the “Man- dan Indian Shriners.” They are all members of the Sioux tribe. The or- ganizer and chief is Lieut. Col. A. B. ‘Weich, a veteran of the Spanish- American War, Filipino Insurrections, Mexican Border Service and World War. He is the adopted son of the noted Chief John Grass of the Sioux tribe. Pians for a magnificent Shrine pag- eant of oriental splendor are making progress under direction of Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, U. S. A., retired. His committee meets twice weekly to ar- range for what is expected to be “something totally different from any- thing ever witnessed in Washington.” Five Booths Offered. Five information booths have been offered by Earl A. Nash, manager of the District of Columbia Automobile Club, to be erected at the main gate- ways to Washington during the Shrine week. Edwin C. Dutton, chairman of the Bervice and Information Committee of the Shrine Committee, is in charge of the placing of information booths on the highways and Mr. Nash's offer has been referred to him by Robert P. Smith. Potentate of Almas Temple and director general of the Washing- ton, D. C. 1935 Shrine Committee, Inc. Dutton plans to cover seven main gateways to the city as well as to erect booths at Union Station and at the principal bus terminals. In addition to furnishing the five booths. Mr. Nash has agreed to fur- nish the personnel to man them dur- ing the Shrine week in order that Shriners arriving on any day may receive adequate information. He is also furnishing the committee with accurate new maps of he downtown section of Washington, which will be invaluable to visitors in locating their correct addresses while here. More than 3,500 private families have registered rooms with the Shrine Housing Committee ir anticipation of the influx of visitors that will ac- company the holding of the Shrine conclave, according to Stanley D. ‘Willis, chairman of the Housing Com- mittee. Mr. Willis pointed out that at least 100,000 visitors are expected during the convention and said that many more rooms would have to be ob- tained. “We are anxious to finish the Job and to list all available rooms as soon as possible,” Mr. Willis said, “in order that we may assign visitors as request for accommodations come in. There will be a large number of addi- tional rooms registered between now and convention time, but the earlier registrants will be filled first.” A beautiful bronze base relief, exe- cuted by a nationally known sculptor and commemorative of the Shrine conclave of 1935, will be presented to Almas Temple by the Hecht Co. dur- ing the Shrine ceremonial; accord- ing to an announcement yesterday by Charles B. Dulcan, vice president and general merchandise manager of the store. The presentation will be made by Harold H. Levi, vice presi- dent and general manager of the Hecht Co., and Mr. Dulcan, both of whom are members of Almas Temple. —— NAVY YARD SOFT BALL PLAY OPENS TOMORROW Commandant First Ball—500 Workers on 21 Teams.

The Spanish government lost $4,500,000 in its state Christmas lot- | tery, according to reports, a sharp re- | versal from the profits of previous lot- teries, Ticket sales brought in only $7.500,000, and the prize money to- taled $12.000,000. In 1932 the sales eamounted to $17,500,000. The diffi- culty of sending money abroad, where $1,000,000 worth of tickets was for- merly sold, and the new lottery in France are blamed for the drop in sales.

Houston’s Army Divided The Texan army was divided |ing old Washington on the Brazos, | where the Declaration ot Independ- | ence had been signed on March 2, Houston. who had been ~hosen com- mander in chief of the Texan army, with his aides rode to Victoria, ex- | pecting there to be joined by his | forces. Soon he found that the Ala- | mo, besieged by Santa Ana’s fire for | 11 days. had finally fallen on March {6 and Travis and his little band per- |ished to the last man. | Scarcely had this tragic informa- tion reached him, while he was hop-' ing against hope to be reinfor:ea by Col. Fannin and his forces, when he | received the sad tidings of the imas- | sacre of those brave men at Goliad jon March 20. The blow was ter- | rific. Recouping what was left of | his_scattered army, Houston turned to San Jacinto, near the present city of Houston, to which point Santa Ana had marched his army from the Ala- mo to scotch the Texas rebellion. WASHINGTON, after the battle, the Texas general displayed more magnanimity of spirit toward the “Napoleon of the West,” as the Mexican general styled himself, than that personage accorded the Texans at the Alamo. The resent- ment of the Texans against the bru- tality of Santa Ana was somewhat mitigated, however, by the attitude of his aide, Gen. Castrillon, a brave sol- dier and magnanimous foe, who pleaded with the Mexican general to spare the several Texans still alive as the final shots were fired at the Alamo. “I am a general, not a butcher,” he is reported to have told Santa Ana, who turned a deaf ear to his entreaties and put the Texans to death. Castrillon Died Bravely. At San Jacinto, Castrillon mounted the Mexican cannon and defended it with his life. Mortally wounded, the Texans, remembering his conduct at the Alamo, treated him gently and bore him to the home of Lorenzo de Zavala, the Mexican patriot in the Texan army, and there he died. To- day Castrillon lies buried by the side,| of De Zavala, in the family burial plot, near the scene of the battle. Thus, even in war, Texas had & con- necting link of friendship with her neighbor across the Rio Grande which, with the passing years, has served to alleviate the antagonisms growing out of the revolution. ‘Within the brief space of six weeks the Texans gained their freedom from Mexico and set up a free and independent republic, and it remained such for nine years, until , in 1845, it was admitted to the Union. With a domain of over 265,000 square miles, and widely diversified natural re- sources, Texas has become one of the foremost and most progressive States of the Nation. This, in brief, is the story of the winning of the great Southwest. Now Texas is on the threshhold of a re- birth, for next year she is to com- memorate the 100th anniversary of her birth as a republic. With a sov- ereignty under six flags, she is proud to claim her part not only in national but in world affairs. In her centennial next year, the United States, France, Spain, Mexico, and other nations have been invited | | to participate, Ceremonial Umbrellas. Two of the largest and most expen- sive umbrellas ever made have been manufactured in Leicester, England, for Akenzua II, Oba or Chief of Benin. The umbrellas, which cost about $75 each, have been made for state pur- poses. Councils will be held under | Dobkin, D.
