This does not signify segregation, but 1t does mean, in sense, separation the separation that involves the relation of master and servant, of class and class, and implies a certain amount of association. Neither does it sig nifty injustice; the denial of racial and social equality is not denial of equity. Their treatment must be ab- solutely just and kind.

A FRONTIER AFFRAY
Texas Rangers Ambushed and
 Fired on by Mexicans.
JUDGE WEIGH IS ASSASSISATED.
Armed Members of Political Clubs Cause Troable at Rio Grande City Elections - Mexicans CrosseA
 Border to Vote Illegally.

The rangers were asleep .A camp when they were awakened by a volley of shots from the, darkness. A pitched battle ensued. and four of the attacking party were killed, one fatally wounded and two captured. The rangers es- capped unscathed.
 Governor Lanham has ordered . company of cavalry to Starr county. and a special train is now carrying the troops on fast run.
 The situation in Starr county was brought about by alleged election ir- regularities. due to political clubs sup plying the Mexican residents with poll tax receipts and insisting that they be allowed to vote.
 Judge welch had gone to his home in Corpus Christi to be present at Rio Grande City on election day h an ef. fort to prevent disorders. He was as sassinated while he was asleep Mon day night. It is charged that armed representatives of political clubs con. trolling the Mexican vote patrolled the voting places on election day and re. fused to allow members of the op posing factions to vote. Several shoot ing afrsys occurred. but no one wal killed or wounded II is charged by one faction that Judge welch wal murdered by a hired assassin and that the ambuscade of the rangers vas in stIgated by the same faction.
 There are reports here of continued rioting st Rio Grande City. the exten' of which is not now known.

The principal feature of the new food lay lies in the section centering around the label and inspection ques- tions. The paragraph in this con nection is especially interesting: No person. firm or corporation shall transport any carcasses or parts thereof or meat or food products which have not been inspected. exam ined and marked as inspected and passed in accordance with the terms of this act. Over 1000 establish ments in this country are affected by the new law. All of the products of these plants must pass through the hands of government inspectors, who must affix label signifying that they have been found satisfactory before railroad will be permitted to ac- cept them. As the law now stands, If the inspectors do their duty material revolution should be at hand in the quality of American food products.

Consolation Event Yet Remains to
be Decided.

Dudley Elmer by defeating Frank
Gardner in the championship singles
of the city tennis tournament yester-
day established himself as the best
tennis player in the city and won
fine Knox hat offered by Mr.. Kibbey
for the event The scores in the
match were Ga, 81 and 6-2. The first
two sets were hard fought but in the
last Elmer seemed to pull away from
his opponent.
Elmer with Wilbur Hibberd won
the doubles in the city tournament
and it was thought from the start
that he would carry off the singles
He plays with greater ease and even
ness than any other player in the
city
The consolation event is still to be
played off It has been demonstrated
that temporary organization with
out rules cannot conduct a tourna-
ment successfully. Next year the ten
mis- players will probably form a per-
manent organization.
