H. G. Wells, the novelist, believes
that unrestricted immigration is a
bad thing for America.

migration flowing into New York, q"
he said at dinner during his Amer

this great, turbid wave would have
been better for filtering.

IS THINK
Full.

Bro vnsville and the entire
Brownsville country have much
more cause today than ever before
10 feel thankful, and should re-
member that fact on this day
Of Thanksgiving. The wonderful
development which is evident on
every side, resulting from the
stream of homeseekers and accom-
oanying food of capital that have
been pouring into this section dur
ing the past year, is sufficient to
cause every person living in this
kissed valley of the Lower Rio
Eraude to lift his heart in thanks
80 the Giver of all good things.
The record of the past year for
progress has never before been
eoualed in this section. It IS sim
ply wonderful, and the best of it is
that so far only beginning has
been made. By the time that an
other Thanksgiving rolls around
these beginnings will without doubt
have developed beyond the most
sanguine expectations of our peo-
ale. The rich resources of this re-
zion have at last been discovered,
and the land hungry, enterprise
seeking, farmers and capitalists are
coming in to develop them at a
rate that is surprising anything of
che kind ever before witnessed in
Texas.
The town Of Brownsville in par
ticular has something great to be
thankful for in the blessed assur-
=auce that in a very short time she
will be provided with waterworks
and electric lights, which she has
needed for all these years, and tor
the many progressive men and
women who have been added to
her citizenship, for the many homes
that have been erected here and
Tor the many other improvements
chat are in prospect for us in the
near future.
Truly the people of Brownsville
and the surrounding country have
rnuch to be thankful for this day.

Upon thsir knees and thank the Lord

Norfolk geese were driven up to Lon

of railways to let the geese transport
themselves. The largest drove men

from Suffolk, through Chelmsford and
on to London. They took their journey
easily, marching ten miles a day The
ordinary days march of the German
army is thirteen miles, only three miles

Swords Bent Double to Test Them.
If you have an opportunity at any
time Of examining a sword such as is
used In naval and military services
you may notice that just below the
hilt. an inch or, two down the blade,
there is n small disk of brass welded
into the blade. The meaning of this
brass might well escape any one not
possessed of a well developed sense of
curiosity. Swords are subjected to
very severe tests before being issued,
and this brass piece indicates that one
of the tests to which the sword was
subjected was to have its point bent
right back until ii touched the hilt at
the brass spot. Swords that have sue

William January Released from Fed

Thousand Persons-Happy
Family Reunited

BY Associated Press.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan, July 19-Wil-
liam January, alias Charles w. Anderson,
for whose pardon a petition containing
the signatures of $4,000 persons was pre-
sented to President Roosevelt three
months ago, was released from the fed
eral prison here today.
Anderson returned TO Kansas City.
where he will engage in business.
Anderson was convicted eleven years
ago of robbing an Oklahoma postof1ce
and sentenced to the ,penitentiary for
three years.
He escaped two years later and went
to Kansas City, assumed the name of An
derson and married.
In April, this year, a former convict
who had known January in the peniten-
tiary notified the warden of the mans
whereabouts and he was rearrested and
taken back to Leavenworth.
Owing to the exemplary life Anderson
had led in Kansas City his neighbors
started a movement for his release.
During the day the following message,
signed by Anderson's little girl, was for
warded to Washington:

United States: Papa has come home to
stay with mamma and me. I'm so glad,
and papa says he is too. He says he will

WOULD-BE LYNCHERS
QUIETLY DISPERSED
Acute Crisis in Italian Murder Case
Believed to Have Been Safely
Tided Over and Peace
Restored
BY Associated Press.


NEW ORLEANS, July 19.-With the
peacefuI dispersal early today of posse
of 300 men who had formed at Gretna to
lynch the Italians convicted last night
of the Lamar murder, the acute crisis in
the KIDNAPPING and murder incident is be-
lieved to have safely passed.
This posse was the last of several small
mobs which formed at widely separated
points and threatened to hang the
Italians.
Governor Blanchard's prompt action in
calling out two companies of state mill
tia within two hours after the verdict is
believed to have saved the Italians lives.
The soldiers arrived at the Hahnville
jail, where the prisoners were confined.
shortly before midnight, in time to fore
stall plans which were on foot to take
possession.
Nearly 100 soldiers guarded the Jail to-
day and it may be necessary to keep
them there until the Italians are re-
moved to safer places.
The prisoners must first be sentenced.
Indignation over the jury's mild YER
dict has grown considerably and many of
the reports of the court proceedings,
while they show fair trial, comment to
the effect that several of the jurymen
are large employers of italian labor,
which augments the resentment.
