BALTIMORE, Jan. Tin accord
ance with It's policy Of public rela-
lions. the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, through w. B. Mitchell. repre-
sentative of the company at Atlanta,
Ca, is taking an active and leading
part In the campaign to stamp out the
citrus canker which threatens destruc.
ton to the grape fruit industry.
Mr.. Mitchell recently visited the
grapefruit groves of the South to Sc
cure frst-hand information as to the
serious effect Of the canker blight on
one Of the principal industries Of the
southeast. and since that time he has
brought the facts to the attention Of
President Wilson and large business
interests Of the country.
The seriousness Of the situation pre-
scented by the canker was set forth In
a recent editorial In the Atlanta Con-
stitution, which said:
Both from the standpoint Of preser-
vation Of the supply Of citrus fruits,
and Of the prosperity Of neighboring
state which is seriously threatened,
Georgians are keenly interested in the
efforts now being made to provide a
means for DISCRIMINATING the disas-
trous citrus canker which is seriously

OF the San Jose scale upon Its peach

methods by which that pest is now
held in check, and it's effect wholly
minimized.

oped citrus canker is far q more SER
ious menace to the famous Florida
fruits than the San Jose scale ever
was to the peach in the days Of its first
discovery. There apepars to be, as
yet, no known economic remedy for
the canker, which originated In Korea

Paris, May ts2<The experiment

100000 colonial soldiers INCORPORATE,

100000 colonial soldiers incorporated
in the French army since August,
1914, these 100000 workmen would
bring up to 100000 the number OF
Chinese Arabs, Berberes and Kabylies
brought to France by the war.
The social consequences of this
heavy importation of Chinese labor
have not apparently preoccupied
either the members of the committee
of the army that has been studying
the question or the general public.
The 10000 Chinese, whose utilization
Is already provided for, come to
France under contract for three
years, which stipulates that after the
war Is over these Oriental workmen
may be employed in any other colonial
possession outside Of France. This is
the only feature Of the experiment
suggesting apprehension that, after
the war is over, and the necessity for
the substitution Of, imported labor
has passed, a social question may
arise requiring the deportation of the
colonial labor.
In order to facilitate the execution
OF their work by the Annamite labor
a special Franco. Chinese school is
being founded under the direction OF
Monsieur Aualard, professor in the
faculty OF letters at the Sorbonne, on
plans furnished by Messrs. T'asi Yum

AS THE
NEWS BREAKS


Brownsville, Texas, May 19.-The
first legal execution of alleged Mex
lean bandits, as penalty for the
American lives lost in the border
raids in the Brownsville country last
summer and fall, was set for today.
with the hanging of Jose Buenrostro,
aged %, and Melquiades Chapa, aged
20, Mexicans, convicted Of the kill.
ing of A. l.. Austin and his son,
Charles. Austin was president of the
Law and Order League at Sebastian,
Cameron County.
The Mexicans were indicted for
murder on March 27, and were found
guilty and sentenced to death about
three weeks later.
The crime for which the two men
were convicted was one of the out
standing events in the border raids In
which civilians only were concerned.
On August 6, 1915, when the so.called
Texas Revolution" alleged to have
been directed by Aniceto Pizana, now
In the Matamoros, Mexico, county
Jail, and his partner, Luis de la Rosa,
was about to reach its height, Mex
lean marauders raided the little town
Of Sebastian, near Lyford. There
were fourteen In the party. They
looted the general store. and amid
firing from citizens, escaped to the
country districts. They went to the
Austin home, several miles away, and
forcing them to deliver their arms,
shot and killed the elder Austin and
his son.
Had the men not, for some unknown
reason, spared the lives OF Elmore
Willard, II. l.. Smith and T. j. Alex.
ander, all residing In Sebastian or
vicinity, and all of whom the Mexi.
cans had as completely In their power
as the Austins, Chapa and Buenrostro
probably never would have gone to
trial. The testimony offered by them
was considered weighty.
Chapa and Buenrostro were arrest.
ed In November on charges OF theft.
1t was not suspected at the time that
they were implicated m the border
raids AT the time of the arrests IL
other Mexicans were held In the
Cameron County Jail in connection
with the raids.
Willard, Smith and Alexander were
asked by the sheriff to visit the Jail
and Identify, II possible, any OF the
thirteen. or those, 1t was said. they
were familiar with none. However.
Willard and Smith. officers declared.
recognized Buenrostro and Chapa. and
Alexander said he remembered the
former as the Mexican who rifled the
cash drawer in the Sebastian general
store. At the trial. both MeXicans
attempted to prove alibis.
Unless Governor Ferguson should
intervene. the executions set for to.
day will be the second and third legal
hangings in Cameron County. The
first was in 1882 when Quirino Guitan
paid the death penalty for the muir.
der OF a hack driver.
