night, from a sever case of dysentery.
Mr.. Dykes was twenty-nine years

Mrs. Butler. a San Benito friend,
who will accompany her and extend
what assistance and solace she can
to the bereaved young woman.
Everyone here extends sympathy.

FISH WAR AGAINST FISH.
Pike Used to Destroy Carp in Order
To Save Game Fish.

Spokane, Wash, April 2-Thou-
sands of wall-eyed pike will be pit
ted against carp in Diamond lake, in
Stevens county, 80 miles north of
Spokane, in an effort to eXtermin-
ate the scavengers. The Inland En-
pire Game Protective and Propaga-
ticn association, Of which J.S.Little
of Spokane, is secretary, has applied
to the fisheries department at Wash
ington, DC. for 100000 eggs,to be
deposited on the sandy beaches Of
the lake. United States Senator,
Miles PoindeXter, says in a letter to
the association that the request will
be granted. The campaign % rid the
waters Of eastern Washington and
northern Idaho and other parts Of
the Inland Empire of carp will be
continued With vigor this spring
and summer, and with the addition
of new fish the anglers are prom
ised better fishing. So far no enc
has been able to learn definitely how
the carp were brought to the lakes in
this district. The cannibal has de-
stroyed millions of game fish eggs
in the last few years and is multi
plying rapidly. SEEMING has been
tried, but not one Of the lakes has
yet been cleared.

BY NARROW MAJORITY.
Continued from page one.)
who had waited patiently all the
afternoon to cast their ballot.
Contests Threatened.

AS a result of the methods en-
ployed. contests have been threat
ened on several grounds.
Mayor Kowalski charges that Sec
tion 80 of the Terrell law, requiring
that voters who can not read be in
formed as to names of candidates,
as we'll as parties, vas violated, and
declares that he will contest the
election on this ground. The mayor
also claims that the injunction is
sued by Judge Hopkins was violated,
in that the James Of the ~independ-
ent candidates were not arranged
on the ballot according to his di-
rections, the names of all nominees
of the Independent party being
placed in n column separated by
a blank space from these Of the
other candidates whose ame also
belonged in this column.
Other prominent democrats al
lege that whereas the law requires
that n booth be provided for each
20 voters, there was only one booth
at each polling place which was en-
tirely inadequate to accommodate
the crowd.
Independents on the other hand
claim that many of their waters were
challenged unjustly and that a large
number were prevented from voting
ON account of delays Of this nature,
and the closing Of the polls before
they could be admitted to vote.

Most Of us can heartily commend
the ruling of the %postofice depart
ment, as reported in last nights
press dispatches relative to undeliv-
cred mail matter. 1t means that all
books, picture cards, newspapers and
magazines-the kind of mail that is
not forwarded to addresses when
they change postoffices-will be de-
livered to the municipal authorities.
The authorities may give it, or such
part of it as may be available, to in
mates of charitable and reformatory
institutions. Thus the destruction
of a great deal of good reading mat
ter will be prevented, and it will be
devoted to the use of people who will
be glad to have it.

DISSOLUTION OF
HARVESTER COMPANY.
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Washington, ID. c., April 2-The
plan of dissolution which the In
ternational Harvester company sub
mitted to the department of Justice,
proposes dividing the big corporation
into two new ones between which
the manufacture of the companies
harvesting machines will be equally
divided. With this as a basis the
negotiations for a friendly settle
ment of the governments antitrust
suit was resumed here today between
Attorney General Wickersham and
Edgar A. Bancroft, general counsel
for the International Harvester COM
pany.
1t is not known whether the two
company plan WI be accepted by
the representatives of the govern
ment, or whether a further disinte-
grafton will be insisted upon.

WILL HE BoLrs

Said Col. Roosevelt in St. Louis
last week:
ANY statement that ! will bolt
the party in case l fail of nominal
tion is false. Any time | have any
thing to say on that subject | will
say it myself. and anything purport-
ing to come from me unless | say il
myself is a fake"
All of which, while very explicit
in denouncing the false statement,
still leaves one in doubt as to wheth-
er the Colonel really will or will
not bolt his party, in the event of
his failing to secure the nominal
ticn. AS the chances of his being
the nominee at present are, to say the
least, far from being assured, the
question: "Will he bolt? assumes
important proportions.
Some people may accept the St.
Louis saying as an indication that
the Colonel will not bolt, but when
one compares his former thrice re-
peated assertion that, under no cir
cumstances would he be a candi-
date for a third term, with his pres
ent strenuous effort to secure the
nomination for a third term, one
can not place much confidence in
his apparently indignant denuncia-
tion of the falsity of the statement
denied by him. However, he ha:
promised to let the listening world
know if he has anything to say
upon the subject" so let us wraI
our inquiring souls in patience and
wait.

SPORT AT SAN BENITO.
Two Welterweight Wrestling Bouts
By Celebrities April 4.

San Benito, Tex, April "A mat
ter of much interest to the lovers of
sport of San Benito is the announce
ment of two wrestling matches to
take place this week at the Valentine
Airdome theatre. The first, on April
4, will be between Tom Stafford and
Joe Savini, and the second on April
6 will be between Tom Stafford and
Young Burns. The management Of
the above mentioned theatre an
nounces that these men are three
of the best wrestlers in Texas, in
the welterweight class, and the
head-spinning contest will probably
be witnessed by people from all over

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1912.
A CLOSE RESULT.

The results of yesterdays city
election were so close in most in
stances, as to render victory danger
ously near to defeat, and the defeat
correspondingly near to victory.
Aside from three or four of the
minor offices, the winning candidates
r such by the barest majorities.
With contests threatened, it indeed
can scarcely be claimed positively
that their election is finally as
sured.
However, granting that the re-
turns as announced in this morn
ing's Herald shall stand as correct,
the results will be to give the city
government into the hands Of the
Independent party for another two
years. In the event that this is so,
it must be admitted ven by the
most ardent friends of the present
administration th9 the election has
shown that probably very nearly
half of our citizens were anxious for
a change. That this should be the
case is sufficient to cause the powers
in charge of the city government at
Ikesent, and whose rule is thus per-
betuated by the narrowest majority
ever known in the history Of the
city, to look closely into the con-
ditions which Independent rule has
fostered, in order to discover in what
respect it has failed to satisfy the
other half of the citizens.
The Herald doubts not that Mr..
Cole, even though he becomes mayor
by a majority of only four votes, viii.
bring to the office a determination ID
do his best for the city. as he sees
it. While The Herald believed Mr..
Cobolini was the better man for the
position, yet it feels assured that
Mr.. Cole possesses the intelligence
anu tue dulilly W h"nO 50N
mayor, and that his ambition will
cause him to make the Cole admin
istration one of progress and inn
provement for the city in every way
possible.
In this effort, The Herald pledges
him it's most cordial support, and it
believes that the other supporters
of Mr.. Cobolini, who stood for pro-
CESS also, will do all that they can
TO promote the success of the city
government, whose success must in
sure the further growth and pro-
perity of the city itself.

Enlarging CITY Lake

Corpus Christi, Tex.-Corpus
Christi, lake many other coast tawn
cities, has its water problem, but
mearS for it's solution have been
found. A great basin, known as
Tule lake. seven miles west Of the
city, will be connected with the
river by a ditch 1000 feet long.
The rise of so much as a foot in the
river will allow this great reservoir
to fill, and. as it will cover an area
OF LOO acres, ample water will be
conserved at each flood for the city's
needs. This lake. which is along the
river road (shell road), is separated
from the other portion of the basin
by a 12-foot ridge and has a net
area Of 1447 acres Of water surface,
and will hold, when filled to the To-
foot level, 463,000,0O0 gallons of
water. There are Il present about
forty acres of this basin covered with
salt water to a depth of about II
inches. A pumping plant with a
capacity of 1000 gallons per minute
has been purchased and will be in
stalled at the mouth Of Tule lake
for the purpose of pumping this salt
water out of the basin into Nueces
Bay. 1t will require the digging Of
a ditch about 1000 feet long to di-
vert the water by gravity from the
river into this basin. A foot rise
in the river will be sufficient TO
bring the water through the natural
opening in the river down to Tule
lake.
