Persons who are not accustomed to being arrested and to facing the police captain to answer the standard questions he Is required to aak of each new arrival are often Incensed at some of the questions shot at them. One question always asked is, "Can you read and write?" This is the one that seems to cut the deepest.

The answer to this question Is registered in each case on the jail register. After the record accumulates several thousand names good amusement Is furnished the college student, the reformer, and the man of less Imidable curiosity who denlre to know how many of the men who figure in police court are Illiterate. "Can you read and write?" Every Individual Is called upon to answer this question when registered at the police station answers the question in an Individual way. "Of course," Is frequent answer with varying emphasis. "I hope SQ," Is another expression that Is often heard.

Sometimes the prisoner stands before the desk when asked this question and glowers at the captain for a moment as though deeply insulted at the hint of his possible illiteracy; and then snaps out, "Why, sure; what- do you think I am?" Others take the matter more gooc naturedly. Some take deliidit in lying to the officer about the matter and sav they can neither rend nor write, but these aro usually tho ones who. have been behind the bars be- 'ore and who are fnmlllar with the of questions they are required answer. "Married or single?" is another of the standard questions. This jrlngs forth from the prisoner anything from a siph to a giggle.

The question is asked of young and old alike. Boys from fifteen to nineteen chuckle at this question as though they thought the captain actually was deceived In them and was tak- ng them to be the heads of families, Some men of more experience are willing not only to tell that they arc married, but at once volunteer the additional Information, which the captain does not want, namely that they have a large and respectable family at home. The question as to what the prisoners do for a living is another that jrings forth varied replies. Some time ago a fellow was waltzed to the desk a maudlin condition. When tfie nnmo had been taken the captain "What's j'our occupation?" The fellow, Who was mlrldln aged, thought for a moment, scratched Ills head, then looking up suddenly, exclaimed with considerable pride, "I used to plav ball in 38S9." "what do you do noW" the captain perslted.

The fellow could think of nothing ho had done since that so "ball player" was the occupation that was booked nfter his name. The place of birth brings out many breezy rhetoiical flourishes of local patriotism for the native land of those land in tho police station. The Kentucklans frequently follow the announcement of their birth place with some allusion to the "blue grass." Tha Pennsylvanlans are proucl of the many industries of the state. The New Yorkers have a sense of superiority because they come from the empire state. But "the one birth place that brings forth a burst of patriotism and pride is old Ireland.

Every Irishman who is so unfortunate as to be arrested makes a proud allusion to the "good old sod," or the "JCmeraW Isle" and invariably follows tho with a volley of Celtic wit that causes merriment, and makes all In the room envious of the good nature and optl- of the man about to step behind dhlps. event.

FIGHT OVER ALAMo" ENDED Court of Tcxii" Settles SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 23--The question of who should have charge ing to eecura control ol the Alamo, had led the battle in tha courts with jreat generalship, but unconditional surrender waa tho final verdict. Litigation in the caso arosa the fact that De Zavala faction In- slated upon having a building not forming: part of tha Alamo proper given duo recoEn'tlon. Tha Alamo, itself chapel building of tha Spanish mission, San Antonio do Valerow and the of tha bloody carnage of March 6, 1836.

had been owned b- the state since 1883, and while nominally in tho custody of tho city ofi San Antonio had been in tho cara ot tha daughters of the republic oS Texas. To Miss Adlna de Zavala and scverel others It occurred in 130-t that; it would be well to acquire and hold for its historic interest a building adjoining tho Alamo which had formerlyl served as a barrack for Spanish soldiers and as granary at other times. The property, however, waa held by a grocery house which turning it to good account by using it ns sales and storage rooms. The legislature was Induced to appropriate 000 for the purchase cf the property and In 1905 the Hugo-Schmeltzer building, as the old barracks known, was bought and given itno care of the Da Zavala chapter. All would have been well had they been contented with tho old building.

But such was not tho case. The famous massacre had not taken pljace in the building, although It must have figured extensively in the assaults made, on the Alamo chapel, and besides it had for years been nothing else but a canned goods and "liker" emporium in which such excellent men as Honore Grenet and the Hugo-Schmeltzer company and othe.rs had made an lionorabln living. To the De Zavala ehapter this was not enough. After the building had been closed to the vulgar inroadi of modern comercialism tho De Zavala faction ranged a marble tablet to be inserted in its wall on which was set forth the fact that the old barracks had also figured the massacre of the Alamo But still tho Alamo proper was tho only place that drew a crowd, metaphorically speaking. This was very anno.uncr to De Xavala her supporters and claiming that they were the guardians of Uio Alamo, they proceeded to take the matter into court.

That honorable body, however, haa to rake tho De Zavala view of things and wltli the potsible chancf) 6 by court of Texas, not to grant a writ of error to the De Zavala chapter of the daughters of tho republic of Texas in its action against tho parent organization headed by MTM. Kobocca J. Fisher almost be said that tho battle of tho alamo could not have been more bitter than the loftal fight just endod. Miss Adlna De Zavala, descendant of one of. the few SpandlardH who took the part ot tho Texana during tho war of Indopend- and ot the iaotion of securing a rehearing of the motion for a writ or error there Is nothing that will again disturb the daughters of the republic in their possession of tho only Alamo there Is.
