Marshal Barron made a very practical and straight-to-the-point talk, suggesting to the police officers that they would probably be taking a wise course if they refrained from political discussions and matters of that nature, and continued the good and efficient officers he had always found them in the past. He hoped that each and every officer would be crystalized into a perfect whole until the entire city government is working as a unit. He said that he hoped and believed that his men would at all times be obliging and courteous to the general public and treat all prisoners with as much consideration and leniency as would be permitted. Chief Barron further suggested that if there were any men on the force who felt as though they could not or would not treat the public politely and every city official with respect he thought they should resign at once, as he knew he would do if he could not treat his superiors and fellow officers in the proper manner. Chief Barron referred to the suggestion of Mayor Riggins that where a man is found under the influence of liquor, but is orderly, that he be prevailed upon to go home and in the event that he does no arrest be made. Mr. Barron's talk was well received and seemed to strike a sympathetic chord with his hearers. He was followed by Chaplain Oscar Myre, who said that the welfare of men and the teachings of Christ are one and the same, and he believed the police force is making a record in acting in every way that is for the best interest of and in the welfare of mankind. There will be another meeting of this kind on the 17th inst. Chief Barron says it has been the rule to have one monthly, but this last one was delayed incident to the rush of business - hence the early holding of another one.

Marlin Richard Jackson and Susie Scott Earl Smith and Willie Long CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ACTED THIS MORNING Did Not Name Committee to Act With Citizens' Appointees. Hamilton Talks. Replying to the request of Chairman Hamilton of the citizen's committee from the Chamber of Commerce to act with the citizens' committee in attempting to adjust the differences existing between the mayor and commissioners, President Powers, after consulting with the directory of the Chamber of Commerce this morning, advised Chairman Hamilton that that body was purely a business organization, and not political, nor even semi-political, in any sense, hence could not see its way clear to appoint an advisory committee to act with this citizens' committee. After receiving the above this morning Chairman Hamilton stated that he had called a meeting of his committee of ten to meet him this afternoon at 5 o'clock, at which time the matter will receive discussion. He said that all that was left to do was to report back to the recessed mass meeting tomorrow night, in the event it is decided by interested parties to carry the matter further. MR. GREEN'S PROTEST STARTED SOMETHING C. Herbert Green of Waco, chairman of the railroad committee of the United Commercial Travelers, whose telegram to the Texas railroad commission was printed in the Times-Herald yesterday regarding the proposed union depot for Hillsboro, which is now under discussion, left last night for Austin at the request by wire of the assistant attorney general. He will represent the traveling men and the traveling public in their demands for a union depot, which effort has become necessary because of the opposition of a committee of Hillsboro citizens who advocate three separate depots for the railroads centering in that city. The telegram from Mr. Green to Hon. Allison Mayfield, which appeared in these columns yesterday morning, was read with great interest by local traveling men. They are greatly interested in the result of the Hillsboro union depot case, taking the position that a needless inconvenience will be continued if the railroads are permitted to maintain three separate depots in that city. WACO DAILY TIMES-HERALD TUESDAY MAY 5, 1914 ELECTRIC LIGHT DEMONSTRATION Mr. J.G.Barrett Kept Crowd Interested at the Cameron Building Last Night No little interest was aroused Monday night at the Cameron building during the demonstration given by Mr. J.G. Barrett, an illuminating engineer of national reputation, whose services were secured by the Texas Power and Light company in order to promote more intelligent lighting methods in Waco. Mr. Barrett kept his audience with him from the start and quite a few gathered around for more personal discussion after the demonstration had been completed. The comparative ease with which light rays were directed by means of innocent looking reflectors seemed nothing short of marvelous to some. In order to bring out clearly the comparison between different types of reflectors, a double, light proof booth was used. In beginning, an ordinary sixteen candle power lamp was placed in one of the booths and a small two candle power lamp placed in the other. Attention was called to the amount of light thrown below by means of printed display cards. A reflector was then placed on the small lamp and although the current consumed was only one-sixth that of the other lamp, the effective illumination on the card below was greater. Various other types of reflectors were then exhibited and compared, it being shown that a reflector could be obtained for almost any purpose desired. For instance, one reflector was shown which had been designed for an outlet close to a wall. This shade allowed little light to be reflected toward the wall side, the greater part of the light being directed toward the middle of the room, thus securing an even distribution. Another type was shown for use on street lamps where it is desired to direct most of the light up and down the street and little toward the houses. The object of the company in putting on this demonstration is to promote the more intelligent use of light and generally improve the standard of illumination even though in some cases the attendant revenue is reduced. The exhibition last night was given before a representative body of business men who are interested in Waco's welfare, but will be repeated tonight and on Thursday and Friday nights for the benefit of the general public. Home lighting as well as store lighting is considered and the ladies will find the demonstration both interesting and instructive. Roof Garden Opened The opening of the Edgefield park roof garden last night was a grand success, a large crowd enjoyed the efforts of the Jas. Milling Combination to please them. More seats will be secured for the show to be presented by this same organization on next Monday night. On Wednesday, May 13th, the Edgefield entertainers will put on a clean bill of vaudeville and allare requested to remember the date. Admission is free to all. The Edgefield Park and Improvement club meets tonight in regular weekly session, the meeting having been postponed from last night on account of the opening of the roof garden.

EUTERPEAN CLUB RECITAL IS EAGERLY AWAITED The musical program to be rendered by the Euterpean club in Carroll chapel, Baylor university, next Monday, May 11th, is being looked forward to as one of the principal musical events of the year. This popular and long established club does not often give a public entertainment, and when it does every music lover of the city naturally has a strong desire to be in attendance and listen to the best music to be secured short of the strictly professional class. There will be no charge for admission and the commodious chapel is expected to be crowded to its utmost to hold the crowd. Miss Beulah Imogene Duncan will sing at the recital and scores of her friends and admirers who have not heard her vioice in song for over a year will make it a point to be present and hear her.

FLORISTS PRAISE WACO AND WOLFE Visitors Captivated With the Cordial Greeting Extended Them in This City Yesterday afternoon and last night the florists who came here from all parts of Texas and other states, to attend the first annual meeting of the Texas State Florists' association, which was organized in Waco last Monday afternoon, returned to their homes. Each and every one enjoyed their visit here to the fullest extent, and it is not amiss to state that the man who contributed more to their pleasure than any other one Wacoan was Tom J. Wolfe. He was the host royal, and the visitors became very eloquent when alluding to the hospitality they had received at his hands. The progress and development noted here on every hand made a very decided impression on the florists, and they did not hesitate to express their wonder and amazement as a result of the handsome buildings noted in Waco, the well kept streets, beautiful parks, etc. The lunch given the visitors by Wolfe, the florist, at the State House yesterday afternoon, was one of the most elaborate spreads ever witnessed here. Tom Wolfe saw that none of the guests departed until the inner man had been thoroughly satisfied. Brief addresses were made by Postmaster W.H. Hoffmann, Mayor J.W. Riggins, Crate Dalton and others. After the feast, the visitors had a view of Waco from the top of the Amicable building, and they were given full opportunity to see this city's rare scenic beauty. Waco, they said, resembled a huge natural park. Following the trip to the Amicable skyscraper, the florists were escorted to the Dr. Pepper plant, where they were served with delicious beverages. While the directors were in session yesterday afternoon, they elected President R.C. Kerr of Houston , at the head of the Texas State Florists association, to represent the organization at the annual convention in Houston next August of the Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists. M. B. Davis was official stenographer for the florists while here, and local newspaper men are under many obligations for courtesies extended by him. SUDDEN ILLNESS MAY PROVE TO BE APPENDICITIS While in his office yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock Sheriff S.S. Fleming was seized with a sudden attack of illness, which, the attending physician thinks, may have resulted from appendicitis. He was at once conveyed to his home on Herring avenue, where immediate attention was given him. He was reported to be resting easy this morning. It is sincerely hoped by Mr. Fleming's host of friends throughout the county that he will soon be able to leave his room. He is a man of splendid physique, one who rigidly observes the regulations that generally result in securing health and stregth, and it is believed he will quickly rally from the attack.

Among those here now is Dr. Lansing Burrows of Americus, Georgia, formerly a Nashville pastor, who is considered by many as the convention's possible choice for president. A number of foreign missionaries will be among the visitors at the convention. Particular interest attaches to what those who have been stationed in Mexico will report on conditions there. Nashville is extremely interested over agitation that has been going on, looking to bringing the home mission board and the foreign mission board to Nashville, where the Sunday school board has just completed a building costing $160,000, one of the handsomest in the city. Leaders in the convention who are here now do not believe, however, that the two boards will be moved from their respective locations at Atlanta and Richmond. Other matters of interest that the convention will hear of will be the report of the committee to consider establishing a theological seminary for the negro Baptist. Dr. E.Y. Mullins of Louisville is chairman of the mittee will report [this is as printed] on ways and means of improving the financial conditions of the pastors of the church.

Time generally works changes. Instead of the J.J. Walk sign over the livery stable at Bruceville, which always seemed a mis-nomer for a livery mman to have, as some might think it proper to walk instead of ride, a new patronym now appears, Mr. E.L. Daggett, being the new proprietor. As will be noted in another part of today's Times-Herald, a change in the date for the leaving here of the Lone Star State special, to be used by Waco ad men an those from other parts of the state. The special will leave on the morning of June 17, instead of a day later, as originally planned. The train will be one of the finest ever operated in Texas. It is expected that the transportation committee of the Y.M.B.L. will be ready to make a report at a meeting of the league directors next Tuesday night, in the matter of having the Houston and Texas Central motor car, leaving here at 7 in the morning, run to Bremond, instead of stopping at Marlin, the plan that has been adopted since the Central began running a motor car out of Waco. Both Marlin and Waco are greatly interested in this matter. The pen used by the county officials in signing the first of the series of good road bonds will be presented to the Young Men's Business league.

Scott was petitioned and granted an injunction preventing the sale of the bonds. It was carried to the higher courts and the judgment of the lower court sustained. Last month the committee sold $75,000 worth of the bonds at par, and the balance of the issue will be sold later. SACRED HEART PUPILS WILL ENTERTAIN TONIGHT In Sacred Heart auditorium, on Washington street, between Eighth and Ninth, an entertainment will be given by the boys and little girls of Sacred Heart academy, this evening, beginning at 8 o'clock.

He took occasion to show them how they must have an education before they can become the most successful leaders and then pointed out how that by putting in their evenings at the night school they could acquire a large part of the education that is denied them by having to work during the day. Other features on last night's program included special piano and violin selections by Misses Freddie Gross and Geraldine Gegenworth of Baylor, a strong story by Miss Nell Whitman, and drill in some special songs by Mr. Kyger.
