There is an ordinance now before
the city council regulating the speed
and operation of automobiles in the
city that should be enacted as soon
as possible. Reckless driving of
autos is becoming altogether too
prevalent, particularly at crossings.
where the ordinance requires the
sounding of a danger signal.

FIG TREES NEED PRUNING.
Advanced Spring Season Makes it
Necessary, Says J. C. Carpenter.

"Prune your fig trees now" is the
advice given by J. C. Carpenter, gen
eral manager of the John c. Car
penter Fig company, and an expert
in the fig industry, who warns or
chardists of the necessity for the pro-
lection because of the fact that fig
trees are a month further advanced
than they should be, on account of
the warm weather.
Because of the advanced spring
it will be necessary" said Mr.. Car
penter yesterday, Ito prune earlier
this year than heretofore, because
the sap is in a rise. After pruning it
will be necessary in order to hold
the tree dormant, to root-prune.
This may be done by blowing the
entire space between the rows,
throwing the dirt away from the
trees.
This blowing should be as deep
as 1t is intended to be cultivated in
the spring, deep enough to cut some
of the roots. In the spring this dirt
can be thrown back to the tree again.
"A word in regard to pruning.
When removing the branch, people
should be sure to make the cutting
at the collar, and it would be much
better if the cut is afterwards paint
ed. If the cut is made too far out,
die-back ensues and sometimes af-
fects the parent stem.
Mr.. Carpenter said 100000 fig
trees were planted in Texas last year

TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 1e, 1903.

Among the civic improvements
that Brownsville needs and needs
badly are sewerage, pared streets,
and better sidewalks. These i'm
provements will go long way
towards making the city what it
ought to be and what it is destined
to be. the metropolis of South Texas.
Brownsville's opportunity has come,
her true worth is at last being recog-
nized. Hundreds and thousands of
new people, farmers, mechanics and
business men are coming here to seek
locations. Many of them viii become
permanent residents and will help to
develop the heretofore neglected re-
sources of the country. Paving, sew
erage. good sidewalks and clean
streets will make the city more az
tractive to the visitors and there is
no doubt but what many more
would locate here if the city had
these improvements. Worn out side
walks and dirty streets do not i'm
press favorably. All these improve
ments Brownsville is sure to have
sooner or later. The Herald feels as
sured that every member of the city
government is awake to the import
ance. the pressing necessity of the
improvements named. In fact, the
council did recently determine to
take immediate steps % have the
streets and alleys properly cleaned
and stock ordinance passed and
some other measures taken to i'm
prove local conditions But good
resolutions are made better by put
ting them promptly into effect and
L is to be hoped that the city fathers
will not lose any more time-in maxi
ing such improvements as are pos
sible now and in planning to make
those which are so imperatively nee
essary, just as soon as it possibly can
be done.

WORKS TO HOLD HIS JOB
What Rankin Says of Minneapolis
School Superintendent,

minneapolis, April I'm the past
twenty-five years the superintendent
of schools in Minneapolis have ex-
pended ninety per cent of their energy
in holding their jobs" said A. W.
Rankin, former state graded school in
spector and now professor of pedagogy
at the University of Minnesota, at a
meeting of the Saturday Lunch club
at Dayton's.
This is true in the year 1909, and
it will be true in 1910. I can't say
that | blame the superintendent. Many
OF the teachers are dependent upon
him for their appointments and he can
not retain them unless he also retains
his job
Mr.. Rankin's remarks were greeted
with considerable applause and some
laughter.
Il see some evidences of the en-.
croachment of commercial interests in
our Schools" he continued, ain the
election of Mr.. Nye as school director
| understand that he is opposed to the
Issuance of bonds for enlargine the
Fairgrounds, and for other purposes fol
which we school men believe part OF
the school work.
we are living in strange civiliza
ton, when orr legislature favors the
appropriation of $35O,OOO for a grand
stand at the state fair and begrudges
an expenditure of $l5O,OOO for col
lege for training teachers"
In discussing the system of super
vision in the Minneapolis schools, Mr.
Rankin said there was great danger
OF supervision. Teachers come t,
rely too much on the instruction am
schedule of the supervisors" me said
and not enough ON their own initia
i've. The supervisors seek results
often and strive for mechanical skill
instead of true education. There is al
immense amount of deceit practiced il
our school exhibitions. The avera o
public school exhibit is a fraud"

GREEN HOUSE DAMAGED BY FIRE
But the Most Serious Loss Was to
Plants and Vines.
From Monda via DAILY

f. c. Willard's green house, corner
of Baker and Moreland avenues West
Mankato, was damaged by fire yester-
day morning, and most of the con
tents destroyed. The damage to the
building was tine smallest part of the
loss and $25 will cover it, Among
the contents destroyed were 1000 to-
mato plants, 1000 to 5000 onion sets
and some other plants, which the smoke
and heat ruined. Some cabbages and
other things in hotbeds were saved
Mr.. Willard is unable to state his
loss, as that would depend upon what
ne could have sold the plants or
fruit for. Anyway, his loss will be
several hundred dollars, he states, and
he had no insurance on anything.
The central station firemen were
summoned at $3.50 a. m, and put the
fire out prompetly with couple of
chemicals. Mr.. Willard believes that
the fire started from the outside on
the south side, probably from a match
or cigar stub thrown down carelessly
by someone who may have been stand
ing there. The high wind would have
quickly famed the flames. There was
no fire in the furnace yesterday, and
he does not think that it was from
manure heating. 1t is possible that a
match in the manure may have been
ignited

BRING IN THEsPARKS
CHARGE MADE AGAINST CAPTAIN
A FRENCH STEAMSHIP.
Barnier's Examination May Reveal a
Conspiracy Against the United
States; Smugglers Said to Be Be-
hind the Scheme; Head of the
Steamship Declares He Is Inno-
cent of Any Wrong Doing.
Is to Be Done?
[specia, to The Free Press.1

New York, April l3.-Commissioner
Shields today began the examination
of Maurice Barnier, second captain of
the French steamship La Savoie, who
was arrested here several weeks ago
charged with smuggling diamonds and
laces worth $500.
Barnier's examination may reveal
an extensive scheme to defraud the
government The method usually sim
pie, consists in foreign firm working
with confederates in New York, ac-
tually using or counterfeiting, consul
lar mail for smuggling purposes. A
messenger, who is an accomplice, de
,lirers the genuine mail to his consul
and "holds out" the Struggled goods
for the New York confederate.
What Is Suspected.
The treasury department. suspects
that large quantities of dutiable goods
have been draudulently imported by
| this method Hitherto, following a
custom of international courtesy, bags
containing diplomatic and consular
documents and packages, of whatever
size, so long as they bore the seals of
a foreign state department. have been
admitted without inspection. More
care will be taken hereafter.
About six months ago French
man in hard luck applied for posi-.
| ton with the French consulate.
He made such good impression
| that the consul general, Etenne LaneI
added him to the staff. He was as.
signed to convey the official mail be.
tween the French liners and the con.
sulate at 35 South William street
Three weeks ago, according to Vice.
Consul Heilmann, the consul general
was informed by the custom house
that the man was suspected of SNUG
Cling and he was instantly dismissed
1t is the custom on the French line
to intrust official mail to the care OF
the second captain, and in Barriers
cabin Acting Deputy Surveyor Edward
R. Norwood found two packages, three
feet long, each containing laces worth
$1,000. Jewellery worth about $500
was also found.
Goods Sent to Public Stores.
The goods were sent to the public
stores, and Deputy Surveyor George
j. Smyth and the United States dis
trct attorneys office are now looking
for the former messenger and the
firm to which he has been delivering
goods.
The French consulate is absolved
from all blame, and Second Captain
Barnier says he is entirely innocent OF
any wrong, as it is part of his duties
to take charge of packages addressed
to the embassy or the consulate
In this case the packages were not
| addressed, but bore seals which re.
sembled the official seal. Only a close
examination would reveal that they
| were counterfeit

REPORT TO Be MILD
WHAT THE HUGHES INVESTIGAT-
ING COMMITTEE FINDS.
Wall Street and It's Environments to
Be Treated in a Statement to Be
Made BY Men Appointed By the
Governor of New York; Gambling
Spirit Will Be Deprecated, But
No Recommendation 1t Be Stopped.

New York, April l3-One of the
Wall street news agencies has lately
been calculating an outline of what
purpOrted to be the Forthcoming re-
port of the committee Governor Hughes
appointed to investigate abuses in
stock transactions ana the methods
of the exchanges.
Among the prophecies were several
of rather sensational import. For in
stance. it was said that the committee
had decided to oppose the abolition of
dealings in futures and short selling,
on the ground that the doing away
with these methods would be injurious
to the best interests of business.
No Radical Reforms Recommended
Portions of the forecast, as printed
on slips, were as follows:
mo radical reforms will be recon-
mended, except possibly in the case of
the Metal and Maritime Exchanges,
in which the commission is said to
have found abuses. The report will
be marked more for its educational
information than for the reforms it
will recommend.
THE subject of short selling and
dealings i'm futures will be discussed
extensively, and it is understood to be
the conclusion of the commission that
the abolition of these methods of spec
lllation would be injurious to the best
interests of business. An effort will
be made to set forth the reason for
this conclusion as clearly and as sim
ply as possible for the education of
the public and to show that the public
clamor for reform in these features is
not based ON sound principles.
The Gambling Spirit.
''The gambling spirit in Wall street
will be deprecated, but it will be con-
eeded, that no law can altogether Grad
icate it. 1t is probable that some
measures will be advocated to do
away with wash sales" and "match
orders although in just what man.
ner the commission will treat this sub
iec cannot be learned.
Considerable attention will be de-
voted to the Cotton Exchange, and it
is understood that the report will dis.
close that this exchange has voluntar-
lily made many reforms since the com
mission began its investigation. In
fact, the Cotton Exchange quietly be-
gan an investigation of its own some
time before the Hughes commission
was appointed. and took large mass
of testimony, which it has since sub
mitted to the commission"
