FORECAST OF BUSINESS
OF FEDERAL COURT
To Convene at Brownsville Monday,
May 13-Last of Reyista Cases
Probably Will be Tried.

At the May term of the federal
court, which convenes a week from
Monday the government expects to
try Pedro Sanchez, one of the de-
PENDANTS in the case Of the United
States versus Jose Montemayor,
Amador Sanchez, f. A. Chapa and
others for violations Of the neutral
ity laws.
Pedro Sanchez was indicted and
placed under $1,000 bond to ap->ear
at the first term Of the court but
did not do so. His bond was de-
clared forfeited and he was required
to furnish new bond for the same
sum.
Unless the grand jury returns in
dictments against Arturo Margain
and Ismael Reyes Retana, this viii
probably be the last Of the Reyista
cases. Both Margain and Retana
are under bond to apepar before the
grand jury Margain is in the city,
having returned the other day from
Mexico
Another interesting case which
! probably will be heard at this term
| of court is that of the United States
versus the Frost-Johnson Lumber
company of Noble. La, The action
I involves a civil suit for penalties
The suit which was filed two months
ago charges the company with yio-
lating the contract labor laws ard

ment alleges that the defendant
raised a two dollar bill to twenty
dollars. is one of the more impor
tant local cases to be tried at thi
term of court

cutting the salaries of clerks and
minor officials in various depart
ments of the government, the house
today by a vote of 53 TO AS voted
$216,000 additional funds to itself
for individual clerical assistance.
In doing so the democrats refused
to listen to the warnings and pleas
of Representative Johnson OF South
Carolina, in charge of the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill, and turned an equally deaf ear
to Representative Fitzgerald. chair
man of the appropriations commit
tee.
Another amendment making it
compulsory that the names of all
clerks or secretaries so employed
shall be placed on a special roll in
the house, was adopted by a vote OF
76 to 20.
This it is contended would answer
any accusation against members of
putting the clerk hire in their own
pockets. The house also declined,
by an overwhelming majority to cut
down the mileage allowance of the
members
Representave Page of North Caro-
lima had introduced an amendment
reducing the mileage of members
from 20 cents to cents a mile.

WILSON DEMOCRATS
ADJOURNED MEETING
TO RECEIVE REPORT OF COMMIT.
TEE ON CONVENTIONS
No Information as to Time, Place
and Chairmen Received from
County Executive Committee.

Paid Respects to Laws Defects.
The Woodrow Wilson club, which
was adjourned from Thursday night
until last night, was called to order
again last night at half past eight
o'clock at the federal building by
the chairman, Col d. p Gay
The committee that was appointed
to make another effort to leSrn the
names of the various precinct chair
men and time and place where the
democratic precinct primary conven-
tions would be held to day, which
was composed of Dr. c. II. Thorn,
Col. Gay and w. A. Rutledge. re-
ported that it had received no re-
sponse whatever from the democratic
executive committee to its requests
for such information.
The publication yesterday after
noon of calls for primaries in the
four city wards, however, had fur
nished the desired information a. to
the city primaries The time and
place of holding the county primaries
and names of chairmen of out-of-
town precincts were still matter OF
conjecture.
Discussion of the situation was
somewhat heated. 1t developed, how
ever, that the Terrell election law
is apparently defective in that il
does not require county chairmen to
designate the hour at which precinct
primaries are to be held. The var
ious speakers paid their respects In
terms more or less emphatic to the
vagaries of that wonderful piece oI
Legislative bungling, the Terrell law
and q resolution was adopted urginf
that the next legislature remedy tht
presidential primary defect. Th'
resolution was worded as follows:
| Resolved that the Brownsville
Woodrow Wilson Club request TIT
next legislature to enact law pro
viding for presidential preference
primaries and supplying adequat
J safeguard to secure fair expression o
: the will of the participants in sue
primaries.
The meeting also expressed disaI
proval of the methods of the count
executive committee in the follow
ing resolution:
e Resolved that we hereby expires
Y ,,our disapprovel of the action of th
e Cameron County Democratic Exec
s tive Committee in failing to appoiI
,precinct chairmen TO preside ovt

law.
