THE MADRID"
SWINDLE TRIED
Houston Merchant ION To" The Game
Of The Spanish Gentleman
Trick Old One.

Houston, Tex, June 20.-When a
Spanish gentleman of suspicious char
acter mailed a letter in Madrid to John
Fulla, of Houston, asking for loan of
few thousand American dollars to
get chest of gold out of a French
railroad station he probably was I'M
aware of the fact that his unsolicited
correspondent was ION to" his game.
In consequence Mr.. Fulla probably is
few thousand dollars in because of his
knowledge Of the century old Madrid"
swindle, while his correspondent must
seek elsewhere to finance his imagin-
airy chest of gold out OF hook.
The letter stated that the writer has
trunk containing 100000 francs,
that is being held at French railroad
station. This sum is about $250,000
in American money. The writer af-
firmed that he is in Spanish dungeon
and il the American correspondent will
advance enough American gold to get
the trunk over the line the prisoner
can purchase his freedom, gain pos
session Of the chest and then show his
gratitude to Fulla by dividing the $780,
900.
Mr.. Fulla didn't bite. Probably the
greatest reason for his caution was
the fact that he was familiar with the
workings of the ancient game where
the victim advances the money but
never gets the reward.
The Madrid" swindle is the name
given the game as Madrid is the head
! quarters of the gang.

CUSTOMS LAWS
STOPPED TRAFFIC
Interpretation OF New Customs order
Was Wrong And Transfers Were
Caused Much Trouble.

Houston, Texas, June 2o.-A wrong
ly interpreted customs order, recently
issued by the customs court at Wash
ington, had the effect for day of COM
pletely stopping wagon traffic between
the Uuited States and Mexico over the
international bridge at Brownsville.
The order was interpreted to mean
that any teamster driving over the Dor
der into Mexico would be forced to
pay duty on his team when he re-
turned
Brownsville, Texas, and Matamoras,
Mexico are divided only by the narrow
winding Rio Grande, each city extend
ing to the waters edge. Traffic be-
tween the two cities heretofore had
been as regular as in either city prop
er, with the exception that toll was
exacted on the international bridge.
When the new customs court order
was promulgated all traffic, except
by automobile and foot, suddenly
stopped, as teamsters believed the
price to re-enter their horse was not
enough to cover the cost of teaming.
When the bridge officials solved the
cause of the sudden cessation of traffic
they wired to the treasury department
at Washington An answer by wire
brought the information that the order
had been misinterpreted, that only
horses shipped in the regular channels
of international trade are affected
This announcement caused a re
sumption of traffic an dthe bridge was
congested until the delayed freigh
was moved.

With Mss Courtenay Morgan in the

this season. A fair sized audience was
present for the performance and
those who attended had an opportu-

that have been done upon the theater.
The interior decorating has not yet
been done save on the boxes and the
new balcony is not yet installed. How
ever, all these improvements and
others are promised by the time of
the formal opening of the house on
September %.
But even though the work is not
yet complete the thester shows a
wonderful transformation. The stage
is virtually completed and the new
curtain is a thing of beauty. 1t is a
scene in red and green and is set in
a gold frame. The new scenery also
makes the house more attractive
With n of the fancy sets of parloT
scenery, in pale green and gold,
there is a ceiling piece and it is one
of the three ceiling pieces in the
n~orthwe7t. 1t will be apparent that
while the theater has been antiQuated
in the past it is new moving to the
front rank.
