WOULD-BE IMMIGRANTS
ARRESTED AT HARLINGEN

Five Syrians, charged with enter
ing this country surreptitiously,
were arrested at Harlingen yester-
day and brought to Brownsville last
night by immigration Inspector Nils
Chalmars. The party comprised
four men and a girl about fourteen,
who was a sister of one Of the men.
Another who was also a member of
the party evaded the inspector at
Harlingen, by claiming to be an
American citizen. He had more the
appearance of an American and
spoke English, and so succeeded in
passing inspection. Later, however,
it was learned that this man, whose
name was given as John Rousy was
alleged to be really in charge of the
party, whose members claimed that
they had paid him to get them across
the border.
Upon this information, a telegram
was sent to Kingsville to detain
Rousy, who had gone north on the
afternoon train. A wire from Kings
vile later announced that he had
been arrested and will be SEM to
Brownsville.
The would-be immigrants stated
that they had swan across the river
at Reynosa, the men carrying the
girl. They were taken to the de-
tention quarters at the immigration
station here, where they will be held
investigation.

scented their resignation to the stock

by the directors to resign now, in or
der that there might be no possible
change Of directors while arrange
metns for the fair are in progress.

cided to add two more directors to

INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS NOV

Trade in Iron and Steel Breaking
Reconciliation
Scarce.

New York, Sept 2S.-Bradstreet'
says:
Buying in person, by mail or through
the medium of road statesmen contin
ues active in various lines of distrib
utive trade. Shipments on orders
previously booked are going forward
in volume, and one of the most signi
fjcant features of the general situation
Is the insistent call for prompt de
liveries.
In host of lines one hears the ex.
preston that conditions as regards
sales are better than for some years
past.
The shortage of cars is becoming
more noteworthy and some coal mines
in the west have been compelled to
temporarily cease operations until
cars can be obtained. Industrial oper.
ations are moving along at brisk
rate. Steel plants are we'll sold
ahead, and as general rule no more
orders can be taken for delivery this
year. Buying of bars for 1918 is going
forward, steel making pig irons are
higher. additional furnaces are prepar.
ing to go into blast, buying of nails is
a feature, car plants are well sold up
and coke is very active, with future
business in plates and structural
shapes presenting the quietest aspects
Of an exceptionally strong situation.
Labor Scant. /:
Labor continues in very scant sup
ply. Collections range from fair to
good, although payments from the
south are still slow, chiefly because OF
wet weather and the lateness of the
cotton crop.
R. G. Dun and companys weekly re-
view of trade says:
Proof accumulates on every hand OF
a developing national prosperity,
broad, wholesome and quite indie,
pendent of controversial issues that
usually breed uncertainty and hesita.

In the iron and steel trade the pres.
sure in the market for deliveries is re
flected in the sharp demand for pig
iron this week, quotations tending
higher and the market as whole be.
ing in a very strong position. Orders
continue to come in freely and III
mills are provided practically to the
close OF the year.
