MERCEDES WANTS ROAD.
Ma letting Passes Resolution But
Does Not Mention Merger.

Mercedes. Tex, March 1s.-Ater
spirited meeting here Thursday,
addressed by c. B. Yandell, director OF
the San Antonio Chamber of Com
merce who pledged for the hope of the
Valley to make communication with
San Antonio in fighting the proposed
merger of the I.-G. y. and the Gulf
Coast lines. two resolutions were pass
ed one unqualifiedly endorsing the
building of another railroad to the val
ley and the other voicing opposition
to anything that would hamper or de
lay the construction of such a road
as in resolutions adopted at previous
meetings in valley towns. No specific
reference was made to the merger
in the text of the resolution.
The first resolution introduced by
Secretary Carlisle of the Weslaco
Chamber of Commerce was as follows !:
Resolved, THAT this meeting go on rec
ord as favoring construction OF an
other railroad into the Valley and that
it will cooperate with any interests
seeking to build such road
The second resolution introduced
by A. l.. Lewis, state legislator, was
ut is the sense of this meeting that
we do not make ourselves party to,
nor will we cooperate with anything
that will tend to conflict in any way
with any interest or corporation in
any proposition that will delay or
hamper construction of railroad to
the Valley"
The second resolution was adopted
after q resolution offered by Carlisle
calling for the appointment of COM
mittce TO investigate the merger and
act according to its own judgment in
endorsing or opposing the merger be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Mr.. Yandell brought Wig
orous plea that the Valley unite with
San Antonio in fighting the proposed
merger on the ground that it would
prevent another road from entering
the Valley.
Gulf Coast lines officials continued.

Mr.. Yandell was scheduled to speak
at McAilen Wednesday night but
general rains over the the upper Valley
prevented him from reaching that city
from Harlingen in time for the meet
ing. The fight the San Antonio man
is making in the Valley against the
merger was scheduled to end Thursday
night with a Valley wide meeting at

GANG OF "SLICKERS"
OPERATING HERE ARE
'FLEECING' STRANGERS
Detective Captain Warns
That Their Games Are
Always Crooked.

That a gang of "slickers" are oper-
ating in San Antonio. Fleeing the
unwary Of anything they might obtain
through hook or crook" was the
statement Friday of Detective Captain
Street.
"They come here with the approach
of the Fiesta season." said Captain
Street. They are the meanest sort Of
thieves. They will rob an unsophisti-
Gated person of slick dime. dollar
watch or what-not. They are here to
operate gaming devices during the
carnival week and they certainly don't
run square games"
Three men, alleged to have fleeced
]. III. Tharp of Coffman county out
of S25. Thursday, through tag game,
each paid a $40 fine in police court,
Friday. on charges of gaming with
tags. Thursday. George W. Scott. a
stranger, lost his watch in a similar
game. e
Both men were victims of the al
legged slickers after they had been in
town less than an hour.
This element" said Captain Street.
sis the hardest sort to handle. As a
rule their jobs are petty in character.
They avoid prosecution largely be-
cause when caught they generally
make good the money. The victim,
being stranger, is satisfied and will
not remain here to push the prosecu-
ton. The best we can do is to stick
them for what We can in the police
court They cannot, generally, be con-
victed of vagrancy on the grounds Of
idlcness because they are "heelcd'
with a roll of money. And when they
chance to make haul of several hun
dred dollars they blow out of town
and are never heard of again.
Captain Street suggested one means
of combating them would be for the
Fiesta officials to ban games of
chance. except where conducted by
worthy persons and for a worthy
cause. The games pulled by the slick
er element. he says, cannot be termed
games of chance for the reason there
is absolutely no chance for the player
TO win-it's straight-out robbery.
If this step be taken and with the
police instituting vigorous prosecution.
whenever opportunity presents. he
said. the number of victims. will be
lessened. Many of those robbed by
such operations are never heard of, he
said. and it is only when some easy
mark squeals" that officers have a
chance to make an arrest-and then,
only sometimes. for the slickers get
under cover when they find the victim
rushing to give an alarm.
