The constitutional convention idea
seems to be growing in favor. Consider
ing the number of amendments proposed
in the present legislature, the old docu-
ment is in need of a good deal of patch
ing. Cheaper, perhaps, to make a new
one. The people who made the old one
are now all dead with the exception af
half a dozen or so. What Texas needs
is q constitution made by and for people
who are now alive.

MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL
CONTINUED from page one.)

alleys to avoid %endangering public
health.
Realizing the danger of the situation
and having no other means at our COM
mand, upon the suggestion of Attorney
Searles we have circulated a subscription
among the residents of Brownsville ask
ing a contribution of $1.00 a month
toward paying the expense of the scav-
enger service until such time as a tax
levy would be made.
"On the morning of the 18th inst, / in
structed Feliz Calderon, who has charge
of the scavenger department, to say to
the cart men and those feeding the city
mules, that if they would start to work
at once we would make good their loss
in ~discOunting their city script as far as
money collected by private subscription
would permit. The scavenger cart men
started to work the same afternoon and
will continue as heretofore.
I'm conclusion, / will say that as lit
tie as some of the people of Browns
vile appreciate it, in my opinion, those
poorly paid Mexican icty employees by
returning to work, have shown more
civic pride and regard for public health
than a number of our narrow minded
American citizens
The council deferred action on two
propositions submitted to it to handle
the s%cavenger service Of the city. One
proposition was from the Ladies' Civic
League, which desired to take over the
scavenger wagons, men and mules from
the city, operate the service and pay the
men every aturday night. For this. the
league would render a bill every week
for the money expended by it taking city
script in return.
The second proposition was from
Seraplo Gonzales, who in a communica-
ton to the council stated that he would
furnish one wagon, two mules and two
men, working from early morning until
late ia the evening for 500 a month: or
two wagons, four men and four mules
1or $lfo per month, provided the CITY
would loan him the use of two mules he
to feed and care for them.
These matters were deferred until the
sanitary and street committees could
look into them, since there was no hurry
as the !scavenger department wagons are
now in operation. 'tt"A.l1" -e ~ "''
e'Cfvic League also asked, the
council to enforce the splitting ordinance,
agreeing to post notices in prominent
PLACES should the council lend its sun.
port The tity attorney was, asked to
1feparefan ordinance, if none exists. A
third REQUEST Was made by the leagne
asking the Council TO keep the fountain
on Market Square clean, and a, fourth
suggestion was in reference TO %propertv

London, Jan. l6.-Another day has
passed without progress in the peace
negotiations. The ambassadors OF the
powers have not yet presented their
collective note to the porte. Constan-
tinople dispatches say that tho delay
Is due TO the failure of the German
ambassador To receive instructions
from his government

ising feature OF the situation is that
all OF the powers are marching to-
gether."
Considerable difficulty has been ex-
perienced I'm carrying on an exchange
OF Views through code kilograms and
this Is believed To be the real cause
OF 1he delay. The fact that King Fer
dinand OF Bulgaria, with his minis
ters journeyed. to Mustapha Pasha for
a council OF war yesterday with Gen.
Savofr and the commanders Of the
four Bulgarian armies is considered
proof that the Bulgarians threat to
begin the war soon Is In earnest.

voy, has received a long cipher tele-
gram from the premier. telling OF
King Ferdinand's visit and describing
the condition OF the armies besieging
Adrianople and facing Tchatalja. The

1t was stated by the Southern Rail-

ness done by his road during the past
year was very much greater than that
done the year before. This is an eX-
tremely good showing, especially as
the cotton crop was short in 1912 and
exceptionally large in 1911 and the
year just ended was considered hard
