JUkREZ FUGITIVE
: RELEASED FROM JAIL
ESCAPED From Juarez and
Was Locked Up in
FL PaS0-

After having been held in the Ell Paso
Jail for seven days by request Of the
Mexican authorities, Jose Contreras
was ordered released at noon Tuesday
because the Mexican officials could not
secure evidence that would justify
their asking for his extradition.
It is alleged that on Sunday night,
June Is. Contreras with another Mex
lean escaped from the Juarez jail where
he was being held under the suspicion
OF being implicated in a burglary. On
the Monday morning Following, two
of the Mexican police came over on
this side of the river and seeing Con-
treras in a barber shop on Seventh
street, are, alleged to have drawn their
revoIvers and placed him under arrest
He was taken to the FL Paso city
Jail by the arresting officers, Toquinto
and Berru, who are members of the
Juarez police force, where they turned
him over to the Ell Paso authorities,
with a request that he be held until
they could arrange for his extradition
and he was accordingly booked as a
suspicious character.
On. Saturday, it is stated at head
quarters. the police having heard Moth
ing further from the Mexican author
tiles. asked the immigration officials
to take charge of the case, and deport
the man, on a charge of being an un-
desirable character.
The immigration officers took the
matter up with the Mexican author
tiles, who stated that the prisoner had
committed a burglary. When asked to
produce the evidence, II is alleged that
the authorities changed their state
ment to one that he was under sus-
picion of being a burglar.
They were given until Monday to
prove that the man was an undesirable
citizen of the United States, and fall
ing to do so, the immigration people
notified the police department they
would not deport the man on the
charges that hadA been presented. as
there was no evidence to show that he
was undesirable.

JUAREZ POLICE MAY
NOT COME HERE
WITH ARMS
El Paso Police May Not Go
to Juarez With Their
Guns In Future.

From present indications it would
seem that the police officers of both
FL Paso and Juarez in future viii not
be permitted to wear their revolvers
when visitisg the. opposite town.
There has been an agreement exist
ing between the police of the two cities
whereby each officer when going into
the other city could wear his revolver
put II the action taken by the United
States army is. to be imposed in all
cases, they viii have to recall the
agreement
The matter came up through acting
mayor J. I. Hewitt receiving a tele-
phone message from Gen Jose Blanco.
asking why one of his men had been
arrested for carrying a pistol in Ell
Paso- Investigation developed that
the man had been arrested by the Unit
ed States soldiers and not by local
official, and mayor Hewitt informed
Gen. Blanco that it was probably be-
cause the Juarez policeman carried no
papers showing he was an officer.
At the meeting of the city council
Monday morning mayor Hewitt took
this matter before the council, and
suggested that each officer should be
provided with a written commission in
addition TO his badge
Have No Right to Arms.
But. according to statements made
by United States army officers, the
commission will have no effect. they
taking the stand that a Mexican Off
Ger visiting this side of the river, has
no more right to wear a gun than does
a private citizen. Local officers believe
that if the soldiers enforce this ruling,
the Mexican authorities will retaliate
in turn by refusing to allow them to
carry their reviewers when visiting
Juarez.
An amendment was made to the dog
ordinance by the council, to the effect
that in the event Of a dog show. or a
large movement Of dogs. the parties in
charge may charter special car for
the transportation Of the CANNES 9th
erwise the dog ordinance stands as
originally passed
Too Many Private Police.
It was called to the attention of the
council that the record being kept Of
the special policemen was not accurate.
and a number OF people were wearing
badges who were no longer officers
and which should have been taken up
when they were discharged. The mat
ter was referred to Alderman Blumen-
thai, who was instructed to straighten
out the record kept by the police Off
