Conditions at Laredo

Mf. Je~~up gave detailed report of
the trip, stating that he left Brownsville
one day IN advance OF the rest of the
committee. and went To Laredo. where he
found both .lmwisrai,cr and ossstaa,. reg
ulationS were being observed in decid
edly different manner than here in
Brownsville. AT Laredo and Eagle Pass
he learned that intercourse between the
cities on the American and Mexican sides
Of the river was not restricted to the ex-
tent il i here. He cited several incidents
which came under his personal observa-
tion while in Laredo which proved con
clusively that TIE commercial relations
between Laredo and Nueva Laredo are
not restricted to the extent they are
between Brownsville and MatamoroS, with
the result that friendlier relations have
been cemented between the two cities and
international commerce j. carried on in
far greater volume that in NEST ports on
the border This, Mr. Jessup contended,
was due To the fact that government Of
ficialS M that place observed the spirit
of the law more than the letter. doing so
with the full realization that they were
working for the benefit of the country a
whole BY establishing better and more
friendly relations with the people of Mex
leo.
The citizens OF Laredo up to q short
time ago were having difficulties sim
liar TO those Brownsville j. now expert
encing. A citizens committee was sent To
Washington with the result that a new
American consul was sent to Nueva La
rado. and since that time there has been
perfect harmony existing between the
American and Mexican cities. Excellent
commercial relations have been e>tab-
hShed. which have been Of great benefit
TO the people on both sides Of the river
