To the Grace Baptist church.
Dear Members:

Taking a. review of about two
years pastorate with you. I am aware
of the fact that much has been
done. You asked me to assist you
in raising two hundred dollars to
meet a. not:- on the parsonage. This
was done inside of three days. Then
we turned our attention to the
church building. that had gone to
pieces. The walls and ceiling were
made as gcod as new and were re-
decorated. Tlie carpet on the door
was in rugs and we bought new
carpet. \‘i‘c needed comfortable
seats. so 1 ant ninety miles on the
back of a truck to get pews, donated
by the State convention.

“'6 are glad to say that the church
building is now in .an excellent state
of repair. practically as good ss
new. This has been done at a sac.
riflce.

‘Wc contracted in accepting the

 

 

call. that should either the church,

or me as pastor. become dissastifled.
we would give the usual three
months’ notice. except. by. mutual
agreement to do otherwise. ,

I am. therefore. handing to you
my resignation to take effect at
once. with the understanding that
my salary of three months be paid
at once. ,

I am
Your pastor.
(Signed) D. C. THOMAS.

President Canes of Mexico had

him to see that Mr. Gompers and
his party were given every courtesy.

Siclmess Is Bronchial-

Mr. Gompsrs’ condition is describe
ed as a bronchial trouble. oomplié
catcd by a recurrence of his illness
of some months ago. It has not
been definitely diagnosed. his phy-
sician said. and whether there was
evidence of pneumonia he was not
prepared to say.

The high altitude of Mexico City
affected the aged man to some ex-
tent, his physician said. and it was
believed that he would improve as
he neared the lower atmosphere of
Texas. .

Ills kidneys had been irriut by
a change of drinking water and it
was thought a. return to the water
he was accustomed to drink might
bring some improv’eernnt in this re-
gard. _

Despite his advanced age. the ps—'
tient's ability to battle for his life
was said to be remarkable. '

During the long journey up from
Mexico City. he remained-cheerful.
slept as much as possible. but took
little nourishment. . Efforts. of. his
physicians and followers were di-
rected toward keeping him quiet. and
having his strength. which was for
spent on‘the trip.

- Death Reports Errooeous

Mr. Gompers was said to havoc:—
pressod repeatedly the wish that if
he was to Globe hoped the end
would come on American soil. The
train. however. took its usual course
arriving in Nuevo Laredo sn hour
late. and no eflort was made to
speed the Journey.

There was no occurenco'on ‘the
trip which should have given rise
tothe erroneous reports of Mr. Gom-
per'a death. his secretary said. While
he was admittedly low. and his phy-
Iician asserted his condition was
serious. no hint that the end was
near wu permitted to escape from
his coach. ‘ ' '

Reports of Mr. Gompers' death
causedsaoodotmmeltopour

and the Gompers troll: was beseiged
by labor ofllclals and friends when
it arrived on'the American side.

slightly as he reached the American
side. and his cheerfulness was more
perceptible. He was permitted to
talk with some members of his
party. but was unable to take any
nourishment except .milk.

Labor leaders of the American
Federation of Labor in New York
were requested by his secretary to
come to San Antonio to be with their
leader and apparently his counsellors
were preparing tokeep Mr. Gompsrs
in San Antonio until his condition
definitely'improved. ' ‘

The stricken leader of many hard
labor baths passed a few Jokecto

in the festivities at the big Victory

can Club at the Odd Fellows Hall.
A good program of entertainment
was enthusiastically received by

a. credit to the committee in charge.

Under the direction of iMsster of
Ceremonies Richard Ireland. the
events moved quickly. Short

speeches on the recent Republican

known mitt artist of New York. was
present ,and provided four snappy
rounds with Kid Thomas of-Br‘ook-

Ted Moore, champion of England at

can. and his life‘s work has always
been toward his ideal of American.
ism.

"As a boy he was always reading.
His capacity for study was enormous.
and when he wss a youth. my
tether put him in tho cigar making
trade. A cigar maker had to make
so many cigars a week in those days.
but Samuel always sat at his bench
with sn open book before him. He
used to read aloud to the other ci~
gar makers. and they would keep
him at it. and would nuke up his
daily quota of smokes so that my
brother could spend more time read-
ing to them.

‘th was then that he entered the
Labor . movement. determined to
better the conditions. There was
an organization known as the
Knights of Labor. but it was not up
to Samuel's idea of true American
principals. He did not approve of
its methods. and he organized the
American Federation of Labor. He
was elected the first president in
1881. The next year another man
was given the oifico. but at the
third election they demanded Sam
uel back again. and he has been the
president without a. hitch for the
past 44 years. »

"He never grew above us though.

and his position did not alter his
love for the rest of his family. He
continued his self study. and made
himself what he is by his remark-
able ability of mind. his staunch-
ness and his true spirit. He has
been offered nominations for Ben-
atorships. and political offices. but
he has always refused them. His
soul is in the Labor work. and ho
wouldn’t leave It.
« “I wrote to him recently. and
Samuel sent me back a letter—he
has always time in his busy life to
remember us. He is the only one
of our family to succeed to such an
extent. but we all love and honor
him for it. and no one more than T.
He is a wonderful man and I hope
for his recovery."

Simon ‘Gompers is s. tinner- by
trade. Like his brother he is of
sturdy physique. and has been mar-
ried'38 years. He lives at 21 Cove
avenue and has five children. and
seven grandchildren. He is a bellev.
er' inthe‘. labor movement and
is a member of Sheetmetal Workers
Union. Local No. 39. He left New
York about. eighteen months ago.

in: District at al. questioning the
legality of the formation of the dis-
trict as well as the election of com-
missioners of the district is slated for
a hearing at 3 o'clock today before
Judge John R. Booth in the Superior
Court at Bridgeport. Light. Dunbar
and Quinlanrepresent the plaintiffs.
in the action and Judge William F.
Tammany. the defendants.

- The action questioning the legality

of the formation of the Sixth Tax—
ing District is brought principally
upon the ground thstdiscrimination
was shown in the formation 1 of the
district. The act of the state legis-
lature creating the district excluded
property owned and leased by the
Connecticut company and the Roton
Point Improvement company from
the district. This. the plaintiffs
claim. is discriminatory because it
excludes these properties from any
tax which might be and in the dis-
trict.

The action also contests the legal-
ity of the election of commisviooors
of the d‘rtrlM on thu- ground that
the election was not hold is directed
by the act creating the district. The
act. it is alleged. ordered the election
to be held the last Monday in June:
but it actually was not held until
the first Monday in October 1923. It
is also alleged that the ballottlng
place was in the Second District int
stead of in the Sixth. and that the
residents of the district were not
properly notified of the election.

At the special election the following

were elected commissioners of the
district; Samuel G. Adams. Carlrton
MeWborn and William Jennings

 

 

 

ion. an injunction we brought some
time ago restraining the Mayor. and
members of the Board of Estimate
from laying a tax for the district.
The Slith Taxing District Commis-
sioners were also restrained from en-
tering into any contracts in behalf of
the district. .

The outcome of the hearing to be
held this afternoon is awaited with
keen'intcrest locally. If the action
1 ssuccessful. it will mean the Sixth
Taxing District «is! be wiped out of
existence and that to re-creete it.
soother act of legislature will be ne-
Caesar-y.
