SALOONS ARE
INFORMED OF
THE new LAW

At the request of Mayor A. Albert
Browne, Chief of Police William B. Linton
today personally called upon every saloon
in the city and notified them Of the opera
tion of the act passed by the present con-
gress making it violation Of the law, pun
ishable by fine of 1000 or Imprisonment
for one to sell wines, beer or liquor Of any
kind to men in the uniform of a United
States army officer or private.
The action by the mayor came follow
ing a report that some saloonmen in the
city were under the impression that they
would receive official notification of the
passage of the law
''As matter of fact" said Mayor
Browne. ''the law became law last Fri
day morning and any man selling liquor
or beer TO soldiers since that time is liable
to punishment for the offense. However,
do not imagine that the military authori-
ties will push complaints in such eases, I'M
less violations occur following the notifi-
cation today by Chief Of Police Linton

Judge Hopkins Delivers Final
Charge ToCamerOn Grand Jury

The following, in full, is the charge made
this afternoon by Judge W. B. Hopkins of
the Twenty eighth district court. This is
the final charge by Judge Hopkins to a
grand jury, as hereafter he will preside on
ly in civil matters:
Gentlemen Of the Grand Jury:
By recent act of the legislature, this
will be the last grand jury which it will
be my privilege to charge, and the last term
of this court completed my connection
with the criminal portion of the court in
sofar as the trial of any criminal eases is
concerned.
Such being the east, | want, at this
time, to submit to you matters that are
uppermost in the minds of every American
citizen, and the entire citizenship of the
world.
In doing so, / can do no better in the
outset than by quoting to You from the
statutes Of our state, and taking the same
as text, as it were.
The Constitution of Texas, as well as
Article 92 of the criminal laws, provide
that, Treason against the state shall con-
sist only in levying war against it, or ad-
herring to its enemies, giving them aid and
comfort" and the punishment provided
for a violation thereof is by death or by
confinement in the penitentiary for life.
Article 81 Of our criminal laws reads as

Irish Opinion Sees
War In New Light
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, May 2S.-According to sto-
ries printed in the morning papers, there
has been a complete revulsion Of feeling
toward he war in the south and southwest
Of Ireland as |; consequence of recent at
tacks hy German submarines on Irish fish
ing fleets. A number Of fishing boats
have been sunk and the victims of one at
tack of Baltimore say the Germans told
them they had already sunk the Kinsdae
ard Waterford fleets and soon would put
all the Irish fishing boats TO the bottom
cf the sea because they sent fish to Eng
land
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1917-05-28

follows: ''Whoever shall know that any
person has committed treason, or is in
tending to do so, and shall not, within five
days from the time of his having come
to such knowledge, give information of the
same TO the governor, or to some magis-
trate or peace officer Of the state, shall be
guilty of misprision of treason, and the
punishment provided for the violation Of
this statute shall be by confinement in the
penitentiary for from two to seven years.
While the above are taken from, and
are part of the laws of the state of Tex
as, yet the law of the United States is
practically the same and the punishment
for its violation is practically the same.
So that any investigation that is author
lied by the state court would in a meas
ure, embrace, at least, an investigation of
the spirit of the federal law, but the latter
is a matter over which the federal courts
have jurisdiction and does not concern YOU
as grand jurors. However, as citizens of
this great country, you are interested, and
if any investigation by you divulges any
violation of the federal law, you can make
same known to the court, who will see that
the same reaches to proper channels.

ture, which was passed at the last regular

In '46 there was no orders against the
soldiers of the Fourth going to Matamoros,
in fact the orders read exactly the other
way and Companies ii and | of the regi-
mcnt were among the forces participating
in the engagement at Matamoros.
The Mexican war, however. was by no
means the first actual fighting the Fourth
experienced. The first affair in which the
rcgimental history refers to the engage
ment was ut Tippecanoe, Indiana, Nov. 4,
1911, and since that disastrous event the
Fourth infantry has felt a strong antipa
thy for the volunteers as an efficient fight
ing force.
Though absolutely no fault of it, own il
own-it was out conducting very salts
factory foraging expedition at the time
the Fourth was forced To surrender its
regimental colorS when General Hull sur
rendered. As congressional investiga
tion Of Genesal ITull's conduct proved the
surrender was forced by the insubordina
tion Of the volunteer troops which com
prised the major portion of the ill-fated
expedition. That is why the Fourth was
solidly in favor of conscription.
Upon the rolls of officers that have been
attached To the regiment in its past are
the names of Ulysses s. Grant. successful
commander Of the union armies in the Civil
War and more or less successful presi-
dent after the war, and Lieutenant Zach
ary TAYLOR, famous as Mexican far com
mander and as president of the United
States.
In the Civil War the Fourth infantry
record shows that it engaged in ut least
twenty engagements, beginning with Ma
nassas and continuing through Antitam,
fredericksburg, Charlottesville, the Will
derness, Spottsylvania, Cold IIarbor and
Petersburg to the surrender of General Lee
in '65.
In the years that have elapsed between
wars the Fourth has not been an idle regi.
ment and the names and number of en-
gagements with hostile Indians occupy
pages of the regimental activities varying
from the Florida coasts to the Canada line.
In '9S the Fourth infantry was among
those present at FL Caney, San Juan and
the seige and surrender of Santiago de
Cuba, and the next years of its life were
spent in teaching the "Brown Brother
that the medicine Uncle Sam had prescrb-
ed was bitter but, being for his good, he
must take it, Since that date the Fourth
has spent great deal of its time in for
egn service.

went Judge j. C. George, Judge J. A. Gra-
ham, l.. +. Shelton and others Dr. Cole
thought at first that he had hooked n
stingaree and he came very near cutting
his line and allowing the fellow to go.
Eventually. however, he caught sight of his
game, and there was no turning loose,'
The giant fish was played for more than
three hours by the crew Of fishermen, the
linen line holding splendidly. After siren
uous labor on the part of the fishermen,
the fish was beached on Brazos island.
The boat carrying the fishermen was
too small To handle the crowd and the
fish, so the assistance of Captain Wallace
Reed of the coast guard station and his
launch were obtained The launch towed
the fish over to the wharf at Point Isa-
bel, where il was found To be too large To
be transported to Brownsville with the au-
tomoble available. So gang of laborers
helped to drag the fellow out, and he was
loaded onto the Rio Grande train and
brought to Brownsville last night.
The fish was weighed at the Peoples
ice plant, where it is being kept in re-

feet in length.

4TH|NFANTR
BID FAREWELL
To BOUNDARY
DEPART FOR
GETTYSBURG

Old friends parted, perhaps for all time,
when the Fourth United States Infantry,
under command of Colonel +. f. Hatch,
left Brownsville in four sections today for
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where the regi-
ment will be split into three battalions,
each battalion TO form the nucleus of one
new regiment. One battalion, the first,
will continue as the Fourth Infantry. the
second will continue as the y-eighth
Infantry, and the third will continue a. the
Fifty-ninth Infantry.
Mayor A. Albert Browne and party, of
Brownsville citizens, bid the regiment
goodbye last night at dinner at Paurs
cafe, which was attended by every officer
of the Fourth Infantry, and Brigader Gen
eral Morton and members of his staff. The
addresses of the occasion were made by
Colonel Hatch, who outlined the history of
the Fourth Infantry, Brigadier General
Morton, Mayor A. Albert Browne, Major
John Preston, ID. l.. Spero, A. Wayne
Wood, Louis Cobolini, W. S. West and Dr.
III. X. Loew, who was introduced as
"Brownsville's contribution to the Fourth, y
along with Frank c. Pierce, Jr., and Nor
man +. Kendall, Jr.
A the conclusion of the talks, the Fourth
United States Infantry band, under the di-
rection of James B. Prewitt, struck up
America" following with "Howe, Sweet
Home" number that brought tears TO the
eyes Of many Of the diners.
The Fourth infantry, which leaves to-
l. g. d. d. "a -.
of nearly two years in Brownsville, boasts
record of which the officers and the
non n-commissionad officers who have
grown old in serving the regiment are just
ly proud.
As its numeral indicates, the Fourth is
the fourth regiment of infantry formed in
the United States. As the "Infantry of
the Fourth Sublegion' the regiment was
born on September 4, 1892. Its title was
changed to the Fourth infantry on Novem-
Der 1, 1896.
After an unsettled period in which it
was disbanded and absorbed and in turn
absorbed other organizations, the Fourth
has had a continuous existence since
March 3, 1869.
As it came to Brownsville two years ago,
when it heard the border was in trouble,
so it came in 1876 when il learned that the
fortification of Fort Brown was being
bombarded. Coming here from Point Isa-
bel the regiment paused long enough at
Palo Alta and Resaca de la Palma, where
they have recently been going for target
practice and maneuvers to assist in de
feating the Mexican forces.
