Ambassador Arredondo probably is
near the truth, when he charges that the
Glenn Springs raid was planned. or at
least instieated, on the Texas side of the
border After thorough investigation Of
the border outrages of last year at this
end of the Rio Grande Valley, our courts
have fixed the guilt chiefly upon men who
were living on this side Of the river. and
most Of whom have been voters ia Texas.
The two ring leaders. Aniceto PiSana
aud Luis de In Rosa. both were residents
of Cameron cohnty. both voters-and both

death were both American citizens. hav-
