ANIMAL FEATURE
TO BE ELIMINATED
New Bill Proposes to Allow
Animals to Cross Bor-'
der Duty Free.

Washington, D. c., July 19.-The
words Not including animals" which
have been construed so strictly in re-
the United States and which have
caused such connection among GUS
toms collectors and returning Ameri
cans will be stricken from the Payne
Aldrfch tariff law, if house bill No.
1912, which passed the house this
week, becomes law.
Although the discussion over the
passage of this amendment takes up
nine pages in the Congressional Rec
ord, the bill passed unanimously, after
all the representatives had it explained
to them. Some of them were under a
misa pprehension, and it took a lot Of
talk to get the pathway smooth.
Mr.. Underwood. chairman of the
ways and means committee in present
ing the report, said: Mr.. Speaker,
including animals were added to sec
ton 500 of the Payne tariff bill The
courts have decided that if those words
remain in the bill it prevents a man
from riding his horse across the border
and coming back without paying duty
on It, or taking domestic animals
across the border and coming back
The object of the bill is to restore the
old law as suggested by the secretary
of the treasury, and save this hardship
to people on the border"

THE RIVER RECEDES
DANGER ELIMINATED
However, It Is Believed the
Canutillo Bridge May
Be Lost.

The river has fallen back into It's
old banks near Washington park, and
the Foundry subdivision. Although a
large amount Of water still covers the
lower end of Piedras street, no more
houses have tumbled, but those that
have fallen are row Shiny mass OF
adobe. Much of the river water has
gone from Woodlawn park, and fami-
lies will soon be back in their old
houses that formerly stood about four
feet in the water.
Canutillo is again in danger Of los
ing its bridge which is the only means
of communication between the east and
west sides Of the river. The river is
eutting at the approach to the west
side of the bridge, in spite of the eff
forts of 80 men to repel 1t by means
I of riprapping and brush work and it
is believed that the bridge will be
washed away before the flood recedes.
