CITY COOPERATION
IN FIGHT ON SCALE
Sought by State Inspectors-Mayor
Cole Thinks City Can Not Pay Elk
pense, but VIII Aid Otherwise.

Mayor A. B. Cole and Aldermen
Cain, Kirk, Blackshear and Cobolini.
and j. Geo. Bowyer of San Benito
met with Messrs. Lawson and Tackett
state inspectors for the department
of agriculture, at the Chamber of
Commerce Saturday morning for the
purpose of hearing the desires of the
latter. Mr. Lawson explained to the
meeting the purpose of the visit of
himself and Mr.. Tackett, which is
to take measures to eradicate the
tree scale here, and stated that it
was necessary to have the coopera-
tion of the city in the matter Of ex-
pense in spraying the trees in the
city.
After the subject had been dis
cussed Mayor Cole stated that he did
not think it within the power of the
city officials to guarantee the expense
of the work. He said, however,
that the city would furnish a wagon
and team. 1t was suggested during
the meeting that a subscription list
could be circulated in order to raise
the funds.
The experts stated that the work
of spraying the trees will cost only
about so cents. Mr.. Blackshear offer
ed anidea which. doubtless will be
adopted. He though after the work
had bee3 done in the various yards a
man could call on the owner and ask
him to give fifty cents or a dollar
toward the expense. If a hundred
yards are sprayed, the pro rata
would only be fifty cents, and the
expense is small when the benefit to
the tree or shrub is considered.
Mayor Cole announced that the city
would cooperate in every way pos
sible.
Further action will probably be
taken at this afternoons meeting Of
the city council.

SYRIANS BOUND TO
FEDERAL GRAND Jury
Two Who Tried to Smuggle Others in
by Swimming River-0ther Cases
Not Passed on.

Sahada Sailed and Nadir Higim,
charged by complaint sworn to by
III. G.. Dubose, chief immigration in
spector, with violating the immigra-
ton laws by smuggling four other
aliens and themselves into the United
States. were given a hearing before
United States Commissioner William
J.. Russell Saturday afternoon. The
men were placed under a bond OF
$3.50 to insure their appearance be-
fore the federal grand jury. They
expect to make bond within a week.
The witnesses against the men
were Willie Hamid, Abou Zied He
lana, Abraham Mikael and the lat
ter's sister, Mariana Mikael, who is
only ten years old. Helana testified
that, after being refused admission
to the United States at Laredo, he
was approached by the defendants
who persuaded him to let them get
him into the states. Similar testi-
mony was given by the others.
The sextette were arrested at Har-
lingen about five weeks ago by i'm
migration inspectors. They admit
ted that they wan the Rio Grande.
They were brought to Brownsville
and have since been in the detention
quarters at the immigration station.
The girl has been kept in the home
Of a private family. Considering
their condition. all seem to be happy
and well pleased with the treatment
they have been receiving from the
immigration officials.
Helena has brothers in this coun-
try and has been trying to get TO
them for some time. He has been
excluded because he has a disease Of
the eyes. This Is also the cause OF
the exclusion of Mikael and his sis
ter. The ease Of the latter two Is
particularly a sad one, as they have
a father in Albnay, N. r., who doubt
less Is anxious to have his children
come to him. They sailed from Mar
settles, France, to New York city.
where they were deported, being
obliged to return to M~arseilles. Then
they sailed for Mexico, TO which
country they were admitted. and up
to the time that he made his way
into the states the boy was employed
as a laborer in Nuevo Laredo.
Sailed has been in the United
States before, but for some reason
was deported. He speaks English
well, but the other speak only Span
ish or their native tongue. Syrian.
The services of an interpreter were
necessary, and were furnished by NJ.
lSahualla, a well knownl citizen and
business man of Brownsville, who is
a native of Syria, and speaks the Ian
guage %fluently. The three alien wit
nesses are still at detention quarters.
and the girl remains with the private
family. No action has as yet been
taken in their cases.

lent Chief among Mr.. SCOTS
grounds for refusing Is his connec-

cessor to the charimanship of the

orary. and it is desired to secure
some one who is always in the city,
and wiling to lend his efforts toward

Of the public schools.

BURGLAR STEALS WATCH.
TROUSERS AND MONEY
Mr.. Pierce Of the Sentinel the Loser.
Third Time in Two Weeks Similar
Raids Have Been Made.

The residences occupied as a
bachelors hall by ID. II. Cummins,
C. M. Pierce and w. j. McLendon,
all of the Brownsville Sentinel, was
entered by a burglar Friday night.
Mr.. Pierce, whose room is nearest to
the street, was the only loser. His
trousers, with about $25 in cash in
the pockets and his gold watch, were
stolen. The trousers, minus the cash
and watch were found under the
house the next day by Deputy Sheriff
Joe Longoria
Not taking account Of the cash he
lost, Mr.. Pierce Is better off than he
was before the robbery. On Satur-
day he was given a fine gold watch
by Mr.. Cummins, editor of the SEN
It'nel. No speech of presentation
was made, Mr.. Cummins simply
catching the presentee unawares and
placing the watch in his watch
pocket. Mr.. Pierce's general appear
ance now would not indicate that he
had been robbed.
This is the third time in the past
two weeks that thieves have entered
Iprivate residences 1t night and their
visits generally have cost the occu-
pants of the houses cash, jewelry
and trousers. No arrests have as yet
been made in any case.

PROGRESS OF WORK ON
COURT HOUSE AND JAIL
Brick Laying on First Story Of Jail

The brick laying for the first
story of the new county Jail has
been completed and the window
frame work and iron bars put in.
The contractors say they have only
been able to get in twelve full days
of work in the last six weeks on ac-
count Of lack of material.
The ground floor Of the building
will be fitted up for residence and
Office purposes for the sheriff. The
residence apartments will be sepa-
rated from the jail sections by a
solid wall. Besides the sheriff's Of
fee, there will be a large living
room. dining room, bath. bed room
and kitchen.
The second floor of the building
will be equipped with ten cells, each
of which will accommodate several
prisoners. The third floor will have
room for as many cells, but II is not
yet known how many will be placed
therein. The building, al at pres
ent arranged, will easily hold from
fifty to seventy prisoners.
More than twenty-five men are
employed on the court house. Lack
OF material has hindered the work
here also. but with the arrival OF a
sufficient supply OF rock 1t II hoped
to make good progress. The laying
of terra Gotta is TO begin this norm
