Judge Defends
His Attitude

81 have had inquiries TODAY, from
several good citizens, with an accu-
sative infection, as to why the names
of those who were accused of SELL
ing meats containing certain perserva-
tive chemicals, said to be poisonous,
and the use of which for such pur-
poses is forbidden by law, were not
published along with the facts in the
respective cases.
with respect to this matter, | will
say that the proceedings in those
cases were very informal. The COM
plants were filed, the defendants an
peared in court, waived all formal '"ro-
ceedings and rights guaranteed them
by law, and pleaded guilty of the Of
fense charged against them, and sub
mitted to a minimum penalty.
"Now, as to the publication of the
names of the accused, that is strict
ly a prerogative of the newspapers
and not a function of my office, eX-
cept that the names and proceedings
are public records in my dockets and
are open to the inspection of the pub
lie. Very truly,
Justice of the Peace"

Construction of a Score of
Outpost Forts constitutes

(By Associated Press)

Washington, June 25.-The Unit
ed States will have its first real for
titled frontier along the Mexican bor-
der At Fort Sam Houston accom-
modations are being prepared by the
War Department to relieve the de-
tails of troors serving as patrols.
There are now more than twoscore
regularly established army outposts
along the international boundary
with as many more outpost positions.
Each will accommodate troop of
cavalry or an infantry platoon. The
three-year watch of the American
troops has led the War Department
to finally decide that Fort Sam Hous-
.on should be furnished permanently.
The cost of this construction has
been small. Major General Cabell,
commanding the Southern depart
ment was authorized to visit camps
in his department which were to be
abandoned and to claim any material
needed. Entire buildings were trans
ported to the border and re-erected
by troops. Little new lumber was
used.

PROBE NEGRO
COLONY FOR
MESA LAND
SETTLE MEN 7.
Director of Imperial Irriga-
ton District Asked to
Sound Out Sentiment of
Valley on Subject.

That the War Department and the
Interior Department had under con-
sideration the colonizing of at least
a portion of the government mesa
lands in the Valley with negroes who
are eX-service men, was the interest
ing news divulged late yesterday at
the regular session of the directors
of tn Imperial IRRIGATION District.
The announcement was made by
tDirector j. Stanley Brown, who in
terrupted a discussion of the Farm
Bureaus resolution for soldier set
tlement by the statemen that Dr. Ell
wood Mead had asked him to sound
out sentiment here Cn the subject of
a negro colonv.
While opposing to a degree all but
white and American occupancy of
these lands, which will be valuable
producing centers with the construc-
tion of the All-American canal,
number of ranchers at once replied
that they would welcome the colored
man as farm owner in preference
to Japanes or Hindu tenancv.
They stated that under the pur-
CHASING plan of the bill, wealth men
could secure most of the land. then
lease it to japanese. Chinese or Hin
dus, and declared that the negroes
were far more preferable.
The board took no action on the
Farm Bureau resolution. principally
because it's members believed Secre-
tary Lane had his own nlans def
nitely worked out and because thev
did not wish to inject new issues into
the affairs at Washington, which ap-
pear to be progressing in a satisfac-
try manner.
AS a compromise suggestion the
farm delegation. led by DR.. w. O..
Johnson, farm advisor, urged that the
eX-service men be given a 60 to 90
preference, once the land is thrown
open for settlement.

Washington, June 25.-The Senate

Fall resolution to declare a state OF
peace with Germany after two hours
of stormy discussion in executive ses.
sion.
Discussion of the peace treaty and
the League of Nations developed in
the Senate today during consldera-

Senator Borah declared the treaty
was guarantee of war" and said
the "acid test" of the document was
not it's application of the principles
of self-determination Of peoples to
the peoples of enemy countries, but
to peoples dominated by the Allies.
He said Ireland, Korea and Egypt
should be given independence, and
added:

for what he failed to do. He was
prevented by the imperialistic de
signs of the European nations with
which he was associated
