He said that the Frisco road has been

This was Judge Mann's first visit to

pressed himself as amazed at the great
development that he saw in all direc

the idea of diyersiication for farmers.
and upon this subject said:

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..

Before October. 1911, the question
might have been asked, Twill it pay to
have a Chamber of Commerce." For up
to that time the subject might have been
a debateable one as far as Brownsville's
experiences went. Since that time we
nave attacked the problem in the only
available Nay-by establishing a Cham
Der Of Commerce, and the answer is
ready, "a Chamber of Commerce pays

yet why have a Chamber of Com

One answer to this question is that in
organization there is strength. Another
answer is the time honored proverb,
What is everybody's business is no
bOdy's business
AS a rule the average business mar in
any community, without at all meaning
ing to be non progressive or selfish, is

as to overlook the general needs of the
town. Yet when he, with any consider
able number of his fellow townsmen, can
be persuaded to combine with others for
the common good, each giving a small
amount of time and effort to the general
welfare. conditions Immediately begin to
improve. A feeling of confidence is dis
covered TO pervade The town. The people
come to believe things can be done, and
will be done. Oout of that sentiment
grows progress and development.
No doubt. however, affairs of a town
may be mismanaged. Always the lead
ership in an organization like ours
should be placed in the hands of men
who are not only public spirited, but
have qualified to manage successfully
the affairs of the town by making sue
cess of their own affairs. IT is not flat
terry to the gentlemen concerned, but
simple truth 10 say that Brownsville has
made no mistake in that matter.
No one who has watched the trend of
events since the organization of the
Chamber of Commerce can doubt that 4
more progressive spirit has pcryadcd
the city. that Il new impulse has been
given to municipal development, and that
the town is aggressively claiming the
place that belongs to her in Southern
Texas.

RAILWAY BUSINESS FOR FEBRU
AIRY

Railway business in the United States
for February was slightly compiled by
the Bureau Of Railway Economics from
the reports operating over ninety per
cent. of the milage of the country to the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The returns for February average as
follows per mile of line: Total operating
revenues fer mile amounted to 81 0l5.
which is ~ per cent. greater than in
February. 1912: operating expenses per
mile amounted to $756. or GA per cent.
greater than in 1912; net operating rev
enue per mile amounted to 1905 or 81
per cent. greater than in 1912. Taxes
amounted to SAG per mile. an increase
of 81 per cent. Operating income, which
is what is available for rentals. interest
on bonds, appropriations for better
ments, improvements. and new construc-
ton. and for dividends. after the pay
ment Of operating expenses and taxes,
amounted in February to $2l2 per mile.
This represents an increase over Feb
ruary 1912 Of less than four dollars a
mile. or Is per cent.

eliminates the effect of the extra day in
1912. On this basis operating income per

SHOULD CREATE DEMAND.

Assistant General Manager Levy also
strongly advises Investigation, includ-
ING hog raising, and also urges Organi
cation for market purposes.
There should be several market or
ganizations." said Mr.. Levy, "one for
Texas and Louisiana. one for the South
crn states east of the Mississippi, and
one for the North. BY proper organiza-
ton and cooperation in supplying the
markct, there need never be an over sup
ply on any market. 1t is not likely that
;hcrc is ever more truck produced than
could supply the entire country. and it
only requires systematic distribution to
keep prices at a fair level
Mr.. Levy has some practical ideas OH
the marketing question. TIE suggests a
wide campaign of advertising:

spent part of Saturday at Point Isabel.
They enjoyed a few hours of fishing
from a s%ailboat. which craft caused con

New York, Aug. 1e.-Harry Ken
dali Thaw, slayer of Stanford White,
who escaped from Matteawan state
hospital for the criminal insane yes
terday morning, was still at liberty
this afternoon.
"Clues" as to ThaW's whereabouts
have been pouring in by telegraph
from every part of New England. But
all have been valueless. Those
searching for the escaped mailman
are utterly at sea.
Possibly the most reliable infOrma-
ton as to Thaw's whereabouts is that
given out by his mother this after
noon. She said she had received
telegram from him dated DanbUry,
Mass, and telling her that Thaw
planned to take a rest before going.
to Elmhurst, Pa, the Thaw country
home.
It has been established that Thaw
crossed the Connecticut border from
New York, thus making himself safe
from arrest or eXtTaditiOn. After that
the police are going mainly on theory.
The most likely clue came from
Lenox, Mass, where a man who
spent the night at the. Hotel LenOx
was identified by Richard A. Stanley,
proprietor of the hotel and two
others, as Thaw.
This clue, however, weakened
when it was learned that DR.. w. B.
Holden of New York, the name I'M
der which the supposed companion of
. Thaw registered is on an automo-
bile tour and at present is In the
neighborhood of LenOx.
The last heard from Holden was
yesterday, when his office here re-
ceived a telegram from Saratoga,
New York. Saratoga is about 70
miles from Lenox.
