many women of 40 have the appear

Thousands of Mexican aliens in
Texas who have crossed the Rio
Grante without payment Of the SIS
head tax are facing deportation upon
an Unprecedented scale. it was an
nounced Tuesday morning at the dis
trict immigration headquarters offices
In San Antonio coincident with the
delivery of two army G.. NJ. &. am

Each of the ambulanccs has ca

policy of deporting all Mexican aliens
who are Illegally in this country
might be effective. At present il is

aliens who cross the river there.
May BE Thousands Her.
1t is n matter of common knowledge
that within Bexar and surrounding
counties there are hundreds if not
thousands of Mexican aliens who have
entered this country. by wading the
Rio Grande and thereby avoiding pay
ment of the head tax. Because IF the
tremendous expense that would be. in
Solved if all these aliens were deroit-
ed by the usual methods If trans

heretofore been made to Geport the
.wet" Mexicans. as those who cross
the river illegally are designated.
In the border country, however,
hundreds of wet" Mexicans ars be-
ing apprehended and deported as the
expense of deportation there would
not be so great. During March. 1000
wet" Mexicans were caught on this
side of the river in the vicinity of La
redo and deported. One party of 60
was caught during that month. Parties
of 80 or 40 are not infrequently en-
countered.
Hundreds Elude Officers.
Hundreds, however, elude immigra-
ton forces.
Now that the immigration service
has ambulances those in the interior of

A tremendous increase in the head.
tax receipts is expected as a result
Even the tightening of the lines along
the border during the last several
months has resulted in a noticeable
increase in headtax receipts. All rec
ords for Laredo were broken in March
when $4,000 was collected from
aliens who paid their headtaxes and
legally entered this country.
The immigration force in San An
tonic will not be augmented at the
present. Men now in the immigra-
ton service at Laredo will drive the
deportation trucks in order that the
local force might not be cut. Every

DICTIONARY DEMAND
 KEEPS CLERKS BUSY
Readers Crowd Counter Accept
 ing This Papers Offer .-

For nearly week there has been a steady run of coupon holders at the various distribution counters, where copies of The New Universities Die tionary, being offered to the readers of this paper, are to be obtained. It has kept the publishers busy to supply dictionaries to meet this demand, but they have been equal to the emergency and all the coupons presented have been redeemed without any delay. The distribution has been on scale exceeding expectations, and as yet the demand shows no signs of abatement. That there will be another rush of coupon holders anxious to secure die tionaries is certain, and readers who wish to avail themselves of the offer will do well to be on the ground early.
 As an indication that The New Uni versailles Dictionary is answering a popular demand is found in the uni form call for the book. Many busi- ness men who have secured a copy downtown for office use have returned home at night to find one on the draw ing room table obtained by members of the family.
 A large number of "repeaters" have been detected in the lines of coupon holders. One business-like looking person who was among the first to secure a dictionary on the initial day of distribution offer, reappered today with a handful of coupons. '"This is the best bargain have come across in many a day." he said.
 'sThis is a splendid dictionary, and l am going to make several of my friends a present of one. It will be most acceptable know.
