CHARGED WITH
COMMITTING A
SERIOUS CRIME
ITALIAN WHO RESIDES ON SOUTH
6AYLEN STREET is TURNED
OVER TO COUNTY BY CRY AU-
neutrality-suspicious. AN UN.
PRINTABLE ONE.

When the recorders court convened
yesterday morning V. Matteo, an
Italian, who resides on South Baylen
street, was turned over to the county
authorities and had not obtained bail
last night.
The offense with which he is charged
is a most serious one, of an unprintable
character, and it has created consid-
cradle comment in the city, his friends
unhesitatingly saying that they know
that there is some mistake, although
the officers who made the arrest claim
to have evidence which is very strong
against him.
Matteo will probably be released on
bond this morning.

All of the men were my friends and

have been caued by a blowout of

THE SAN ANTONIO REPORT,

A Houston Post special says:
San Antonio. Texas, Dec. Gen.
Pernardo Reyes passed through st.
Louis tonight on his way to Washing
ton. where in all probability he will
see President Taft, Secretary Nagel
Of the department of commerce and
labor, and others. The way has been
paved for the general in Washington
and New York, and it is likely some
thing interesting will develop within
the next two or three days.
In going East General Reyes has
baffled the secret service Of Mexico
The officers of the United States gov
eminent have been fooled just as
much. Il is conceded, however, that
the general left here Monday morning
IN his automobile, and after proceed
ing southward~stopped for a minute
On the Mexican border and then
turning around, made his way East.
Just what his movement means is
nuz2ling even to his friends and the
members Of his family His youngest
son. Alexander Reyes. tonight received
the message which said the general
was on his way to Washington, and he
had no explanation to offer in the mat
ter at all. 1t is presumed, however
the general is going East in connection
with the recent charges filed against
him. He has with him a number OF
letters from influential Texans, and at
the national capital he may accident
ally run across some of the men whose
Iacouaintance he recently made, espe-
cially Eugene Nolte, United States
marshal of the western district OF
Texas, who arrested him on an alleged
violation of the neutrality laws.
