TO SECURE THE FORT BLOWN
LAND.


In order to secure possession OF
the Fort Brown tract for the city OF
Brownsville It Is necessary that our
citizens should act promptly and de-
cisively. That we may acquire this
very desirable piece OF property Is
believed to be entirely possible AS
everyone interested in the subject
probably knows. the land has been
turned over by the war department
% the interior department, and. un-
less It can be secured for Browns
vile, II eventually win be placed on
the market.
Congressman Garner has advised
us. that. II Brownsville wishes to OBJ
tain the land, We shah have to spe-
city Tor Just what purposes Il Is
wanted. before a bill TO turn Il over
10 the town can be passed. In line
with this advice from MIR. Garner. a.
that contained In a recent letter
from Congressman r. $. Gambler OF
Mississippi to Rev. 4. n. Burress OF
Brownsville on the same subject AS
in q previousAle to DIR. Burress.
Mr.. Gambler premises his support 10
any measure introduced by Mr.. Gar
vner. He writes. however. hat the
city OF Brownsville. In order TO OBJ
tain possession OF the Fort Brown
land will have to secure the passage
OF a special bill through congress.
and that this biz will have TO de-
scribe definitely the uses to which
the city or Brownsville will put the
reservation In the event OF the gov
eminent turning II over to the city.
Therefore, Mr.. Gambler continues.
until the citizens determine exactly
what uses they will make OF the re-
servation, so that the proposition
could be definitely and specifically
presented TO congress. nothing can
be done In regard 10 the matter. but
that. IL the city will determine this
matter and advise Congressman Gar
ner Ms desires. he will act prompt-
~. II Il possibly can be accomplish
ed, this land should be acquired for
ever by some who are competent to
than likely congress would grant the
land to the city. II is believed. how
ev,r, by some who are competent to
express an opinion that. II 1t is pro-
posed 10 use the land for any purpose
thar might be construed directly or
Indirectly to result IN pecuniary ben
eft to the city or lis citizens, 4 Is
extremely probable that congress
would refuse to sanction it's acquire
ment
This Is a matter OF the utmost
Importance to our citizens-and the
park idea should receive serious and
immediate consideration. Otherwise
the opportunity may slip from their
grasp. In fact. Il is understood that.
n something decisive Is not done
quickly. we shall be too late. The
state OF Texas Is seeking 70 acquire
the land and may do 50. II Browns
vile contInues 10 sleep on It's rights.

The miraculous recovery or ex-
Banker. ex-convict Charles W. Morse
since his release from prison Is be-
lieved by many to indicate that his
alleged critical illness while still a
convict was merely a Ease OF ma
lingering. and has aroused suspicion
that his release may have been Sc
cured BY fraud. IL was said at the
time his pardon was granted that
Morse could not live over a month.
and now we learn that he IN very
much improved and i going to take
a trip to Europe. That. OF course. Is
no proof OF fraud on the part q
Morse or the doctors. He was under
no contract 10 die within a month
after his release. and II Is not sur
prIsing that his release should have
revived him and renewed his vitality
TO such an extent as 70 prolong his
life The fact that the certificate
pardon was granted was signed by
Surgeon Torney goes a long way 10
convince those who know Tarney
that Morse really must have been III
"a bad fix at that time.
