May Finance Water

Some hope for the water and
light project is inspired by the fact
that the proposition has been taker
Kinder consideration by c. S.
Longenecker of Chicago, who has
been spending a short time in
Brownsville
Mr.. Longenecker is retired
manufacturer, and has made a very
favorable impression on all whom
he has met here. He leaves tomor-

hopes soon to report that he has
succeeded in financing this import
ant project for Brownsville.

ST. Paul, June 26-The mad run
away Of seven freight cars, ending in

pot yards, resulted In the instant death
of a switchman, Adelbert Soper, and

Ing about thirty miles an hour when
they reached the depot yards. Soper
was on the track watching another
train and did not see the runaways.

CAUSES MUCH COMMENT.
Intention of Government to Assist
Japs In Damage Suits.

Washington, June 26.-Some COM
ment having been excited by the In
structions to United States District
Attorney Deviin to assist the propri-
etnrs Of the Japanese establishments
In San Francisco In the prosecution OF
their suits for damages sustained
through the mobbing of their places
1t is explained by some OF the officials
that this rather anomalous linking Of
the national government with a pri-
vate plaintiff Is brought about through
a desire on the part OF this govern
ment to redeem its pledge to the ef-
feet that the Japanese In America
shall enjoy all the rights guaranteed
to them by treaty. The necessity Of
resorting to this course Of action Is
deprecated and it is said that the out
come will be an appeal to congress,
probably at the next session. to pro-
vide by law for the removal from state
to federal courts OF all issues involv-
Ing the treaty rights OF resident aliens.
