COMES BACK TO DRINK
WATER OF rio CRANDE
Fred Levy, Who Travelled on Low
er Mexican Border in Sixties
in Brownsville to Reside.

II just had to come back TO drink again
of the waters of the Rio Grande," said Fred
Levy, one of the old-time travelling sales
men. or drummers, as they were then
known. on the Lower Mexican border and
who is well known among the pioneer resi-
dents Of Brownsville and Matamoros. Mr..
Levy has just arrived from New York and
will make his home in Brownsville for the
present.
Mr.. Levy first came To the Rio Grande
country in 1853, and for many years he
sold groceries and other lines of goods in
this section, encounterng dangers that are
known only to men who followed the same
calling in the early days. In the seventies
he was engaged in the importing business
at Mier, Mexico. and later he returned to
the road. The transportation of those days
was confined TO stage coaches, light wa
gons and buggies.
This is Mr.. Levy's first visit TO Browns
vile in seventeen years, since when he has
been travelling in South American countries
and in Cuba and other parts Of Latin-Am-
erica. Owing TO the partial loss of his eye
sight four years ago he retired.
Mr.. Levy today met an old travelling
companion, Frank Champion. and the two
recalled many incidents Of the road in the
early days, in the times when banditry and
smuggling was an even more dangerous
pastime, or business, or pursuit than it is
today, and the days when the speed on the
"draw'' counted more than conversational
persuasion. Their field in those days ex-
tended down 70 Ccrralvo, ninety miles
northeast Of Monterrey. and through other
parts of Tamaulipas. The only towns on
the American side then were Brownsville,
Santa Maria, Hidalgo, Rio Grande City,
and Roma, and on the Mexican side were
the busy towns Of Mier, Camargo, Rey-
nosa. and Matamoros. with a number Of
villages along the river, inhabited mainly
by smugglers-

HEATED CONTROVERSY
over ESTATE DIVISION
Question Of Partition of the Great
Estates Of Land Barons is
Cause of Discussions.

PRAGUE, May 3O-There II n heated
controversy throughout Bohemia over the
question of dividing up the great estates
held by the land owning magnates of this
section of Czecho-Slovakia The greater
part Of the land in Bohemia IN in the hands
Of these large land owners and there In N
widespread demand that the estates shall
be taken over by the state and in some way
put in the hands of the porrer classes.
The people are all the more insistent that
this action should be taken because the
land owners for the most part. have been
open enemise Of the Czech nationaIists and
have been faithful satellites Of the Haps-
burg dynasty which oppressed Bohemia for
four centuries.
One of the first acts of the new govern
ment was to appoint commission to make
recommendations for reform in land own
ing. The commission now has reported
recommending that the great estates should
be bought by the state and TIM. no land
owners should be allowed TO hold more
than about 625 acres. The question as to
what amount the state should pay these
land owners for the land it expropriates i'm
this compulsory fashion has caused serious
differences Of opinion. All but few ex-
trcmists concedc that the land should be
paid for President Masaryk favors a gen
erous compensation 10 the land owners and
Premier Kramarz, who has always been
identified with the Czech conservatives. in
tervenes in behalf of the land owners by in
issting that they be allowed TO hold up TO
$500 acres. II i expected that this ques-
ton will be settled when Premier Kramarz
returns from the peace conference at Paris.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 3O.-Re-
ports from the border that Mexican federal
troops are mobilized at Empalme, Sonora,
for shipment in bond through Arizona en-
route to Juarez gave officials here little
concern. IL is believed here that the mob

had withheld for the present permission for
the troops to pass through American terri
tory. Officials said the American govern
ment officials on the border would not
permit the Mexicans TO cross the line with
out instructions from Washington, regard
less of the fact that the acting governor Of
Arizona has not withdrawn permission for

official said if the Mexicans actually cross
