Gently been started, between Sam For
dyee and Rio Grande City, he announced
in San Antonio recently. the road being
bought outright from Ricaby, Caring
ton & Company.
The oil excitement which is still run
ming high in Rio Gfande City is con-
sidered as being one of the reasons for
the proposed extension of a road to that
city, which will be the first line into
Starr county. For many years the quaint
river town and county capital. Rio
Grande City has existed with no rail
communication, isolated except for wag
on and automobile communication main
tanning the reputation of being the
largest inland city in the United States.
Il bought the Rio Grande City Rail
road from Darlington and Ricaby, who
got the contract for the purchase of rail-
road materials at Sam Fordyce and
Brownsville and secured rights of way
and permit from the Interstate Com
merce COMMISSION, Mr.. Elrldge said.
1T is true that work has actually begun
on construction. This little railroad
has strategic value that makes it much
more important than its length would
indicate. 1t controls the entrance to the
Upper Rio Grande Valley, and along it's
line is the most available crossing of the
Rio Grande between Brownsville and
Roma.
If the people of San Antoine and the
Rio Grande Valley will get behind me
and give me proper backing, ! can and
will build direct line from San An

Valley to Brownsville and Point Isabel.

consideration for investments, Mexieo is

"The move of American capital to

There are a number Of causes and

points out, among them being the change
of policy toward that country by the
United tSates, the conquering of all rev.

supported by the industries of the
ranch. Mrs. King, who spent nearly all

by Captain King, as a substitute for the

hcation today of a series of 80 draft
conventions proposed for discussion at
Rio de Janeiro this year by the jurists
commissioned by the fifth Pan-Amer-
lean conference, to begin codification of
American international law, revealed a
vast, tentative project for re-knittine
American republics into a cohesive COM
munity of sovereign states pledged to
solidarity of policy and action aimed
chiefly at outlawing wars of conquest
among themselves.
Included in the project is one pro-
posed pact banning any grant of terri
tory by the contracting parties to non
American states. 1t forbids also even
temporary occupation OF such territory
by any nation with the purpose of exer-
cising sovereignty, regardless of the
will of the republic whose territory was
affected.
The draft conventions sweep the
whole gamut of international relation
ship between the republics. They cover
commerce and communication by land
water or air; deal with difficult ques-
tions Of diplomatic recognition of new
nations and governments under de-
finite code of rules; lay the ground

preparing to ask for new trial in the
suit of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
inc, against Kimbro, and Kimbro's cross
action, in which the Klan won the long
end of 2 jury verdict last night. In
the event new trial is denied, an APP
peal will be taken.
A jury which had been in court since
March and which had been hearing evil
dence since March 8 returned q verdict
Tuesday at 10 p. m. after being out eight
hours.
1t gave the Klan $13,2095O as in
structed by the judge, and 1920 more
The $13,209.50 represented remittances
to Kimbro from King Kleagles of five
states for Kimbro's last three weeks in
office; these were proved up and Kim
bro admitted receiving them. The $7920
represented what the jury thought
might be due the Klan from the other
states of Kimbro's domain, records for
which the Klan could not produce. AS
offsets, the jury allowed Kimbro $1615
for expenses under a verbal contract
with E. Y. Clarke in February, 1921,
whereby Kimbro said, Clarke had prom
ised to defray the cost of extra work
for the Klan, and $4,000 more under a
second agreement with Clarke that he
claimed to have made in October 1921.

Mr.. Andrews, a former brigadier.

Ne1U Valley Line Is Considered
Certainty; Eldyidge Buys Road
ROADS COMPETE
FOR VALLEY LINE

At one time. it was rather haz-
ardous undertaking to build rail-
road down to Brownsville-"to the
end Of the world"
The only encouragement along
the miles and miles of arid land,
with ranch house every fifty or
more miles, was the prospects of
more trade with Mexico across the
Rio Grande, and the prospects of
shipping cattle out from the ranch
es of the Valley.
Now, with one railroad already
made rich through the produce of
the Valley, several of the larger
railroad interests are competing
for the right to run the second
road into the Valley. One of them
are considered sure to build.
And this development has taken
place in only few years.
