SHERIFF MARTIN
HIT BY A JOlS r.
Victim of Accident Had Lucky Escape
 from Being Killed.


 Deputy Sheriff Luke Martin of New here this week at the superior court had a narrow escape from death or serious injury Wednesday morning when he was struck on the face by nine foot, three by four joist falling from the third story veranda ot the four story brick building which is un- der process of construction in Mon tauk avenue, New London which is owned by Mr Martin. He escaped with a deep cut on the nose which necessitated the taking of several stitches to close and painful Iacera- tions of the face. Thursday the city sherif was resting comfortably and no serious results are anticipated from the accident.
 Sheriff Martin was watering a re- gently laid walk in front of the build ing when the joist probably jostled off the veranda by the jar of the building during the work, struck him on the nose, felling him to the ground and rendering him unconscious. Falling a distance of nearly 50 feet, the joist landed with great force and had it struck the sheriff on top of the head it would doubtless have crushed his skull
 Just how long he lay unconscious Nr Martin does not know. but it must have been a considerable length of time. He was found by a man named Herrick who chanced to be passing by just as Mir. Martin was regaining his senses He was assisted to his own home, next door where he was attend ed by a doctor. Mr. Martin is still confined to his bed and he will be un- able to be about for several days.

SCHENECTADY PLAN
Busy Building Times Seen by Glitter
 Draper.

Clifton Draper, who is now in Schenectady N. Y, has sent his fa- ther. George S. Draper, a newspaper clipping which refers to the great boom in issuing building permits for dwellings there, and mentions the fact that one of the reasons for it is the state housing code which goes into eff feet on Oct. l. This makes it inn possible for contractors to build on 33-foot front lots. In Schenectady just now permits for building dwellings have been issued at the rate of 65 to 75 per week
 When the housing law goes into ef- feet, applicants for building permits will have to accompany their plans with diagrams bf their building lots, showing width and depth. so that it can be determined if the correct amount of iand is left for sIdeyards.

CHEAP FREIGHT IT ::

The Herald is in receipt of a ommu.
nication from The Houston Chronicle
calling attention to the development OF
the business of one of its advertising pat
rons during a period OF two decades. Ii
that period the company mentioned mas
advanced from a capitalization OF Tt.oVV
to a capitalization of $1,OOO,OOo. Con
corning this development and the reas-
ons for it. the Chronicle said. The growth
of the Peden Company from : ,5OOOO cap
ita1 to 81, 900 00G 90 capital in two dec
AIDES has been made possible by reason OF
the freight rates which Houston enjoys
by virtue of Buffalo Bayou, now known
as the Houston Ship Channel. #
Here we come to the point where we
become interested. Cheap freights,
through water transportation did it.
Buffalo Bayou did it-as an inlet for
cheap water transportation. The Hous-
ton Shin Channel did it. just because
possibilities of this lie in cheap freights;
and Just because for us here in Browns
viIle as well as for the business men OF
Houston. the problem Of cheap frelghts
seems to be inseparable from the problem
of water transportation; and also be-
cause like causes produce like effects in
Brownsville as well as in Houston, the
instance given above, breaches an elc-
quent and most convicing sermon to us.
The knowledge that the intcrcoastai
canal from Corpus Christi to Brazos
Santiago has been. favorably recommend
ed by engineers; the certainty that the
recommendation vii be followed by a
congressional appropriation to carry on
the work; and the further knowledge
that a ship drawing six feet of water has
crossed the bar at BraZ0s Santiago this
wcek-aIl this brings home to us the is
sue. What are we going to do about wat
er transportation" Naturally this
brings with it many questions of ways
and means,-along with the problem OF

, THAW AND HIS MONEY.

One of the deadly superstitions of our
day is the superstition that ascribes ON
impotence to money. Over and over again
we see in print or hear stated in audible
speech that the man with money can do
anything; that he in particular. can
commit crime with IMMUNITY; can save
himself from any ordinary. unpleasant
consequence of the thing he does. 1t is
a vain superstition an evil. disastrous
superstition. The laws Of cause and eff.
feet cannot be bribed.
The human horror of crime cannot be
rated as a marketable commodity. The
fact that the perpetrator Of a crime is
possessed of money does not create for
him a favorable presumption. In truth,
it would not be difficult to show that the
possession of money has been a misfOr-
tune to many a man accused of crime
has in fact placed the halter around the
neck of NAM a man
Take the case Of Harry X. Thaw. who
for seven long years has been pilloried
in the worlds contempt and Indignation.
Never perhaps in the history Of Ameri
can Jurisprudence, has money been 50
frankly and SO unblushingly used to
save a criminal from the consequence
of his crimes, Never has money so cruelty
defeated the hopes that were placed in it.
Up to the time of his escape from Matte
avian his trial had cost himself and his
family more than a million dollars. lis
money could not save him from the long
drawn out agony of his first trial. From
its sleepless nights and days burdened
with horror and uncertainty. Some mat
erial comforts his money could buy per
haps. His fight TO save his neck from
the gallows ended not in victory-not in.
anything a normally constituted mar
could call victory. At the close Of that
murder triaI when incarcerated as a
dangerous lunatic in a hospital for the
insane, he probably stood deeper IN the
worlds contempt than when ms trial
began. Since then his life has been one
long, expensive, wearing, disheartpning
struggle to avoid the consequences that
saved his hfe at a cost of something
which most men must place above life.
Money has not been an omnipotent god
in the case of Harry X. Thaw.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1913.
X

Once again the community of Browns
vile is shocked by the tragedy in which
principals and victims were members of
the sheriff's and police departmental
which the very men who are sworn to
defend law and order have been guilty of
using those deadly weapons given them
to use only in the enforcement of the
law, in deadly conflict with each other.
And today, the lieutenant of the city pO-
lice force lies dead at his home, pierced
bv nine bu' lets fired by members of the
sherifs department, and another police
man is wounded by the same means,
while the sheriff himself and one of his
deputies are wounded by bullets fired by
members of the police force.
The Herald does not attempt to place
the blame for this deplorable event, which
has added another bloody chapter to the
story of the feud which has existed for
perhaps two years past between the sher-
IFS and police departments. The plac-
ing Of the blame is for the courts Of JUS
tice of Cameron county.
! But the people of Brownsville and
Cameron County should not forget that,
for this and other bloody events which
have occurred as a result Of this feud,
this town and county must give answer
before the bar of public opinion. All
must realize how such a disgraceful and
direful tragedy as that of last night must
reflect upon the good name of this com-
mnnity. All must realize that it is time
for the citizens themselves to take a hand
in this matter and insist that there be
an end to this feud. I$f necessary let
every official, either county or city who
has participated in these tragedies be
required to resign, and let new men be
appointed in both departments-men who
shall be entirely free frori political bias,
if that be possible, or at least men who
will not only enforce the laws, but who
will observe them in every particular.
1t is time for the rank and file of our
citizenry to insist that the good name of
Brownsville and Cameron County be pro
tected.

CABBAGE

Reference to a table published in The
Herald today. showing the condition of
the cabbage crop in the country at large,
at the beginning of September, shows 4
1I.2 per rent crop. as compared to the
S7.4 crop last year-a clear loss i'll pro
ductiOn of 3D. per cent. This is worth
considering. 1t shows that for one
cause or another less cabbage Will be
offered to the market this year than last
year. by thirteen per cent. Doubtless the
percentage of loss will be increased ra-
Their than increased between now and the
disposal Of the 1913 crop. This should
mean d general increase of prices. Pro
vided always that growers here in the
valley do not, on the strength of these
figures or for any other reason, foOIiShly
increase the acreage unduly. Remember
that last year some considerable percent
age of the valley crop went to the Junk
heap. Better be a few pounds short Of
the demand than a few tons over it.
The prospect for better cabbage prices,
based on the figures given, is good. Do
not spoil it by o~verplanting.
