While our government is divided into

we must do our best for the common

The people have spoken. Their YER

on the sacred constitution handed down
to US by the fathers and mothers Of the

Officers Ldzy-Need
Driving, Edison Declares

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 2O.-Thom-
as A. Edison came out today with
few simple ideas for gun elevation on
American battleships at little expense
and also for getting work out Of the
navy's personnel.
Gun elevation could be obtained, he
said, at little expense by adoption Of
the paravine principle. The para
vine, he explained, was a sort Of lat
eral rudder or fin by which a battle
ship could be tilted to alter the
range of the guns, much after the plan
used by submarines in diving or COM
ing to the surface. The $6,500,000
sought in the naval appropriation for
gun elevation he regards as needless.
"A pound of mercury for each ship,
used with the apparaths, will do the
trick. said the inventor. He added

MOVE STARTED
TO GET EXTRA

Docket is Accumulation
of Ages Taylor Says;
Committees Are Ap-
pointed

Proceeding with an unanimous opin-
ION IN iavtr OF the move, members Of
the bar Of Cameron county in meet
ing in III district court room here last
n'ght took the first steps toward secur-
ing, If possible, a separate civil district
court for Cameron county alone, in or

here cleared Of the many cases, "the
accumulation Of ages" according to
Judge v. W. Taylor
AT the conclusion of discussion on the
subject. in which all possible objections
to the measure from ether counties
were threshcd out, committees were ap-
| pointed to proceed with the work Of
drafting the bill. and to carry out other
work in connection with securing it's
passage. A committee composed of
Judge V. W. Taylor. IIarbcrt Daycn-
| port, and l.. Z. Strcinberg, or Claude
Garter, his law partner in Harinccn,
was named to draft the bill and take IL
TO Austin for presentation to the legis-
laturc. This committee plans to ltave

Another committee, composed of
Judge James A. Graham. Judge j. c.
George and II. B. Galbraith, of Browns

and Duval West, of Harlingen: Judge
Samuel Spears, w. G. B. Morrison and
Judge A. V. Logan, Of San Benito; and
the law firm Of Mitchell and Greenwood
OF La Feria are members of the coun-
ty committee which will raise a fund
of $1,000 to send the committee to Aus
tin in order to submit the bill Judge
Graham is chairman of this committee.
The question of whether the bill
should include Willacy, and perhaps
Kennedy county was discussed at
length, with the conclusion reached that
the bill should include only Camera n
county, and that these counties may
come in the district if they desire.
Judge Graham Talks
Judge Graham, president of the bar
OF the county, took the chair and called
the meeting to order, after which he
called for nominations for chairman,
and was elected chairman. Judge v.
W. Taylor was the first speaker on the
subject, stressing The need fer some re-
lict in the matter Of the congcsted civil
district court docket in the county.
IF we think the condition of the
docket is such as to justify separate
court in Cameron county, then we ought
to proceed TO get it. If it is of suffi-
Gent Importance. the citizens Of the
county will get behind it, The condi-
tion Of the docket is certainly such as
TO justify an effort to secure relief. We
have two long terms Of civil district
court here, and one short term We
have as much court business as HidaIgo
county. The docket is an accumulation
Of ages.
1T is not only to the interest of the
lawyers, but to the people of the coun-
ty and Of the Valley to relieve this sit
uation. | favcr doing all we can 10 get
another court for this county"
II. b. Galbraith, who follcd Judge
Taylor mentioned some cases which
have been on the docket since 1916, and
also mentioned the Crixell VS.. city Of

that it would cause too much retard-

DO you know what the navy needs

They ought to have fellow about

eight inches across from somewhere

Missouri for civilian boss to make

the navy has good material, and
some fine fellows in it, but they

MUSCLE SHOALS BILL AGAIN BEFORE SENATE
Agreement Is Made To Vote On Ont of Order" Ruling After
 Two Hours.

|. Washington, Feb. 23.--The con- ference report on the Underwood Muscle Shoals Leasing Bill contin- ued before the senate today under an agreement calling for a vote on the ruling of President Cummins that the report was out of order aft CT not more than two hours of de- bate.
 Agreement for vote on the ap- peal from the ruling moved by Sen ator Underwood, Democrat, Ala hama, author of the bill was reach ed Saturday after two days of de- bate on the report. The point of or der sustained by President Cummins was raised by Senator Norris, Re publican, Nebraska, leader of the opposition fight, on the ground that the conferees had exceeded their authority.
 While the agreement preeluded interminable debate on the question of returning the bill to conference whether or not the vote today re. suits in that course, the fate of the measure would still be left in doubt If returned to conference, which was predicted by some leaders on both sides, 1t would mean that much more delay, while if kept before the senate a final vote on adoption of the report would not be had for some days. It would then remain fer the house to act on if.

BURGLARY SCARE
 HITS BELV|DERE
Series of Attempted Breaks
 Keeps Residents on Alert

Residents of the Belvidere section of the city are reported to be in Q state of nervous tension as the re- suit of the increasing number of burglaries and attempted burglaries that arc being made in that section. The police received a call last night from Leon s. Cowles of 1SS Carlton street reporting that there was a light in the next house and he could hear people walking around in there, although the family that resided in the house was away
 The police service machine with several policemen was sent 10 the house, but there was no sign of any light or intruders in the neighbor- hood. The family returned shortly after 10 o'clock, but an examination of the house failed to reveal any, thing missing.
 The people in the section are sat isfieG that the breaks, are not being done by boys, as has been the case In g. number of other instances, for one resident claims to have seen two grown men running from his house after an attempt had been made to enter 1t. He said that he was sitting in the house alone with all the lights out when he was attracted by a crash of glass. Running to the porch he saw that window had been broken and spied two men running away. He is reported to have found that the window was evidently cut with a glass cutter before being pushed through.
 The places that have been enter ed have been thoroughly ransacked, but the intruders do not take any, thing but cash or articles that can easily be converted into cash, accord ing to the reports. Avelis Kinavgian' of 64 Lafayette street reported to the police this morning that his poolroom had been entered last night and the pool balls. several gum machines were stolen. A number of other things were broken, according to the re- port. Entrance to the place was gained by crawling through the transome,
