DIR. CHRISTIE IS
DOING MUCH GOOD
Hundreds Hear This Gifted Dl-
vine in His Eloquent Appeal
For Closer Communion With
the Alnighty.-Interest in
Meetings Continue to In
crease.

Sunday was great day with the
FIRST Baptist church and hundreds
heard the eloquent sermons Of Dr.
Luther r. Christie, of Savannah, who
has charmed Brunswick church-@oers
as no other divine has in recent years.
Sermons were delivered Sunday
and the meeting last night found the
great church building filled with those
anxious TO hear the words OF God from
this eminent minister If the Gospel.
In all his discourses Dr. Christie
seems to reach the very heart of his
hearers and holds their attention spell
bound. AS enc who has heard DR..
Christie in each sermon since coming
10 Brunswick remarked: "He has done
more in the short time he has been
here to make this a better Brunswick
than any series of agencies within
my knowledge .
AS the meeting progresses so does
the general interest and men and wo-
men look forward to the minute they
can have the pleasure OF hearing the
eloquent words which urge a closer
communion with the Maker and all
things better.

Two Who Knew No Fear
Long Were Marked for Death

Wood, Beckett and Walker composed
trio for whom the smugglers had been lay
ing for long time, as they knew no fear,
had effected many captures of smugglers
and had seized larger quantities of booze
than any other men in the service. In
three weeks Wood himself had recovered
a thousand quarts of liquor and 1000
grains of narcotics and five of the Snug
gler automobiles. He was too costly an
officer to have around. He was making too
big dent in the smugglers' profits. His
death was not a surprise.
"The Island" known as the smugglers'
paradise, on which so many battles have
occurred, is a strip containing 500 acres,
twenty miles from FL Paso and is in Mex
ican territory. In 1898 the United States
dug ditch to change the zigzag course
of the Rio Grande to prevent floods and
this formed the island. The old river bed
marked the boundary and the tract of
land, apparently on the American side,
remained Mexican property and mo Mans
Land" Mcxicans are busy day and night
fording the river when it is low, carrying
liquor to the island, where it is stored in
adobe houses and in trenches This store
is drawn upon to supply the demands of
the American public.

companied Walker and Beckett, testified at

sent to Juarez for reenforcements and the
enforcement officers sent to Camp Bierne
for help. The battle began at 10 p. NJ,
and lasted until daybreak. The firing was
so furious that shots broke windows of a
street car on the Smelter Line and traffic
was stopped. However. a car was used to
take soldiers from Camp Bierne to the
scene of the battle. Seven smugglers were
known to have been wounded or killed
exclusive of the first three wounded. All
the smugglers, however escaped into
Mexico.

Sixty quarts of tequila were found in his

funeral procession was one of the longest

Penalties Are Astonishing
If They Were Applied

The few who are convicted of smuggling
the light punishment given upon conviction
and the acquittal of men charged with kill
ing enforcement officers make a startling
contrast with what punishment a smuggler
would receive if the law were enforced to
its limit. If a smuggler were convicted
on all charges and given the extreme pen
alties ii would cost him 1000 and eighty
nine years in the penitentiary.
Here is what he is up against-only he
isn't:
Importation of alcoholic iquor-$5 900
fine and five years in prison.
Transportation of liquor into the United
States-$5,OOo fine and five years.
Concealment of smuggled liquor
$4,000 fine and five years.
Facilitating transportation and conceal
ment of smuggled liquors. 900 fine and
five years.
Transporting non-tax paid liquor
1000 fine and two years.
Concealing non-tax paid lquor-$1.O0O
fine and two years.
Importing bottle contrary to law--S5OoO
fine and five years
Facilitating transportation and conceal

five years.
Importing corlSs contrary to laws, 900

One Motor Car Load
Had Liquor Worth $40 900

One automobile crossing from Mexico
when stopped was found to contain GAS
quarts of whiskey and 120 quarts of gin,
worth $4,000. But the amount of liquor
seized is very small as compared to the
amount which escapes" In the Federal
building at Ell Paso are stored 700 gallons
of liquor captured in raids, and officers say
this is only drop of the amount which
was carried across during the last twelve
months.
The number of men brought to trial as
bootleggers, while seemingly large, does not
indicate the extent of the traffic, for only
the law are caught. Nevertheless on Just
one day recently Judge w. r. Smith found
forty.two men before him for trial as
smugglers.
The bootlegging forces far outnumber
the Federal agents. Until some Of them
we're killed FL Paso had nine officers in
the field under James II. Shevlln as super
visor, who recently resigned. c. A. Per
kins, head OF the immigration force, which
cooperates with the enforcement officers
says that he requires fifty additional men
to watch the border in Bl Paso county

the remainder of his territory, which OK.
