Americans on Mexican Farms.

FL Paso, Texas, Nov. 1S.--Despite
the disturbed conditions in Mexico
Americans continue to emigrate
there to engage in agricultural pur-
suits. For several years the advent
of Americans into the farming por-
tions OF the states of San Luis Po-
tosi and Tamaulipas, Mexico, has
been very large. Some of the col
onies have not prospered as well as
their members had hoped, but for
the most part the new settlers have
made success although they have
had to put up with the hardships
that accompany life on the frontier
before they got a start. Practically
all Of the hundreds Of cars of veg
etables that are shipped each winter
from Mexico to the United States
are grown by Americans.

THE ENG|NEE
ARE TURNED DOWN
SPECIAL COMMITTEE RENDERS
REPORT, DENYING DEMAND
OF RAILROAD alEN.
Owners Declare Lines are Unable to
Bear Expense Which 19 Per Cent.
Increase in Wages Would Entail,
Setting Out Their Reasons.

New York, March 25.-Fifty rail-
roads, comprising practically all the
lines east of Chicago and north of the
Norfolk & Western, today refused to
grant an increase in wages demanded
by heir locomotive engineers.
The engineers demand, presented
on January %, was for an increase
amounting to about 10 per cent year.
The railroads refusal is based on the
assertion that they are f1nancilly un-
able TO bear the increased expense.
The reply was presented at meet
ing of committees representing the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and twelve vice presidents and gen.
eral managers of the railroads. The
railroads point out that the proposed
increase will amount to $7,553,792 an
Tually. This increase, they say,
would be equivalent to placing on
their properties a lien of $1SS,S44,S1S
of 4 Per cent securities, which would
have preference over first mortgage
bonds ''and to just that extent would
lessen the ability of the roads to make
the improvements necessary to in
crease the efficiency of their service
and to insure greater safety to the
public and employees"

} Up to yesterday afternoon only $50
voters in Glynn county had qualified

thousand voters would be on the books

Allen Searches in
Woods for His Son

Hillsville, Va, March 25.-Another
days hunt for the Aliens began early
this morning, with the hunters con-
tident that by Wednesday they will
have run down at least three of the
four fugitives. A nights sleep in the
foothills, badly needed after yester-
days futile tramping and crawling
through mountain brush in a drizzling
rain, put the detectives in shape for
today's work.
One of the outlaws still at large,
Claude Swanson Allen, son of Floyd
Allen, is now believed to have sue
ceeded in distancing his pursuers and
leaving this part of the country. His
uncle, Sidna Allen, and his cousins,
Wesley Edwards and Friel Allen, are
still supposed to be hemmed in the
narrow space on the south side of the
Blue Ridge, against which the detec-
tives are centering their effort. These
men are said to hive been seen at ?
distance, and at times have barely es-
capped closely pursuing officers.
Young Claude Allen, according to
the ,2tezt story reaching the search
leaders, supplied himself with money
put IN his best suit of clothes and
rode across the North Carolina line
on he very night of the Carroll coun.
ty courthouse tragedy. The police OF
cities outside the state probably will
have 70 be depended upon to pick him
up.
1t became known today that Jack
Allen, brother of Floyd and Sidna and
father of Friel, the youngest of the
fugitives, made a horseback trip
through the mountains Saturday. He
explained that he hoped to come up
with his relatives, intending to urge
Friel to surrender himself to he au-
thorities.
Sidna Edwards, who was captured
and placed in the Hillsville jail Fri
day, is now safe in jail at Roanoke
with the other three prisoners. De-
tective Felts says that while they
were going down on the train last
night, Edwards admitted that he pass
ed a pistol to his uncle; Floyd Allen,
at The door of the courthouse on the
day of the shooting. The prisoner
insisted, however, that he did not fire
a shot himself. Heretofore he has
claimed that he went into Hillsville
that day unarmed.

Negro Murderer Walks to Jail
And SurrenderS TO the Sheriff

Allen Lindsey, young negro about
25 years of age, accompanied by his
father, drove into Brunswick from
Pennick, fifteen miles from the city,
yesterday, went to the county jail,
asked for the sheriff, announcing that
he was the man who shot and killed
Buck Taylor, another hegro at Pen
nick, a few days ago, and saying that
he lesired to surrender.
Lindsey was taken into custody and
is 1ow occupying a cell in the county
Jail, where he will be held for trial
at tn next session of superior court
on the charge OF murder. He claims
that he shot Taylor in self defense and
viii make this plea when his case is

called for trial. Lindsey told brief
story of the killing. He says he was
walking down road short distance
IRON Fennick when ne was attacked
by Taylor and his brother; that they
ooth began to fight him, one of th4"l
hitting him in the face, and fearing
that they were bound to take ais IL
he pulled out a revolver and SHOT
one If the negroes, while the oth9"
quickly left the scene.
Lindsey seems to think that he had
right to shoot Taylor who, with
his brother, attacked him without
lion, and he feels that he will be
acquitted when he is tried by jury.

were quite number of citizens who
had paid their taxes and were elig-
ible to register ana could do so by
merely calling on him, and it is hoped
that ali of these will get their names
on The books before they finally close.
In order to accommodate all those
who desire to register during the
remaining days that the books are
open the tax collector will be at his
Sffice during the following hours:
From $50 to 1890 and from ? to
$50.
+ 1t is to be sincerely hoped that
every voter in Glynn county who is
eligible will get his name on the
books, as every officer, county, state
and 1ational, will be elected during
the year. 81

day, and after going into the case the
judge referred the petition to Referee
Max Isaac as special master, and
things in the case will now remain in
status quo until Judge Isaac hears
the case"
The error is that the judge made
no such reference, but requested coun-
sci 20 furnish him with the authori-
ties Of law relied upon respectively,
and stated that he would take the
matter into consideration and render
his decision as early as he could.
Under that direction from Judge
Speer l have prepared and sent him
today the brief for the owners of the
hotel property.
The main case by three creditors
against the American Resort Hotel
company has been referred, as 7 un-
derstand it, to Special Master Isaac
to take the testimony and report his
findings to Judge Speer for his con-
sideration, and your error in Sunday 5
paper is due probably to a confusion
of me two matters, the one with the
other. Yours very truly,

COUNCIL CALLS
FOR BIG MEETING
ALL ORGANIZATIONS TO MEET At
THE CITY HALL NEXT TUES .,
DAY AFTERNOON. q
One OF the City's Greatest Needs Is
to Be Finally SuppIied-Every Bus
mess Man in the City Will Be In
"'t9d to Attend Meeting.

The efforts of The News to organize
III Brunswick a trades body with
Well-paid secretary, have not been
futile after all.
AS our readers well know, The
News, since the beginning of the
present year, has urged the people of
Brunswick to get together and Or
ganlze live commercial body, with
jam-up secretary, to be paid a good
salary, and, while many of the busi-
ness men of the city have been thor
oughly in accord with the suggestion
and have been ready and willing to
JOIN in the movement, it seems that
there was no one who would take the
initiative in the matter, and, as a re-
suit, the organization has not been
formed.
The first step towards it, however,
was taken at the meeting If city
coun I'll last night, when Alderman
Hopkins introduced a resolution, which
was unanimously adopted, calling for
a general meeting on next Tuesday
AFTERNOON at o'clock at the city
hall. The resolution provides for a
joint meeting of the mayor and coun-
Gil of the city, the county commits
siOners, the Brunswick Advancement
association, the Retail Merchants and
Business Mems association and the
board of trade, and it is expected that
it will be the most representative
meeting of business men ever held in
this city, and that the commercial body
will Re formally organized aIT a paid
secretary secured at once thire is no
doubt.
1t will be the duty of every busi-
izen who has the future of the city
at heart to attend this meeting, as it
will be one of the most important
ever held. Ways and means for the
securing of funds with which to pay
the secretary and maintain the body
will be discussed, officers will PROB
ably be named, and everything else
will be decided upon in connection
with the commercial organization.
Brunswick business men have long
clamored for such an organization, the
need of one has never been more
evident than during the past several
months, and it is the duty Of every
man to attend the meeting, Join the
body and give all the assistance pos
sible.
The resolution passed by council
last right is as, follows:
BE it. and it is hereby resolved,
by the mayor and aldermen OF the
city Of Brunswick, in council assem-
bled, THAT joint meeting OF the bus
mess associations of the city, includ-
ing the board Of trade, Advancement
Association, and Retail Merchants as
sociation, the mayor and aldermen Of
the city of Brunswick, and the COM
of roads and revenue Of
Glynn county be called to be held at
the ty hall at p. m. on the I'd day
Of April 1912, said meeting to take
such step as may be advisable for
the organization of a chamber OF
com nerce, and the employment of
paid secretary"
