Many complimentary remarks were

sent out over, the radio station here
by the city of Brownsville, many of
these compliments calling the pro-
gram the best that ever has been
sent over the Brownsville station,
Program Director c. l.. Jessup said.
An unusual feature of the program
was the appearance of Francisco Re-
veultas, known here as the Spanish
CarUso, who sang several Spanish
numbers much to the delight of all
who heard him.
Appreciation of the station in that
those who gathered around the build
ing last night were quiet and orderly

of this opportunity to hear the con-
certs," Mr.. Jessup said, but we ask
that they maintain quiet while the
sending is going on"
A high fence is being placed around
the front part Of the building, facing
the radio towers, in order to keep
persons away from this part of the
station.
Mr.. Jessup showed several letters
complimenting programs sent out pre-
viously, one of these coming from the
state of Jalisco, Mexico, far south
of Mexico City.
Another note came from Brenham,
Texas, and asked that more popular
music, and especially the melodies of
old" be sent on the Brownsville radio,
as there is more Of that classical
music on the air now than We can
tune out.

carrying away the Internal ;onal bridge
and flooding Pedras Negras. The
water was standing two feet deep in the
Mexican city Friday morning
The river reached depth of II feet
at Eagle Pass Thursday afternoon and
had risen to "a feet during the night
1t was still slowly rising Friday morn
ing, following an all night rain at that
place. Heavy rains at Del Rio and
Brackettyille are expected to carry the
stream still higher.
A further rise of 10 feet would be
necessary, however, for the water to
flood Eagle Pass, which IS on the high
bank of the stream.
The crest of the flood this morning
was between Eagle Pass and Laredo.
At o'clock rise Of only eight feet
had been registered at Laredo and the
stream had been stationary for an hour
This rise will effect the river at
Brownsville very little, according to
those in charge Of the river guagcs
here, unless the rains now falling above
here add greatly to it. It is estimated
that a rise of "a feet at Eagle Pass
would not amount to more than eight
feet in the Valley and possibly less
than that on account of the fact that all
resacas and arrovosL are very low and
will take large part Of the water,
The rise is not expected to reach here
for about there days.

KIN Of UNION MEN
!. TO BAN OPEN SHOP
Typos Ladies' Auxiliary Will
Lead Campaign Among
Families.

Another step by the local unions in
their campaign against the open shop
and non-union goods was revealed to-.
day when it was learned that the
Ladies' Auxiliary of Columbia Typo
graphical Union. No. 101, was being
revived to promote this end. r
The members of this auxiliary will
form the nucleus from which a cam
paign among the wives. daughters
and sisters of the members of the "a
unions comprising the Central Labor
Union to promote unionism will be
carried on. These women will call
upon the womenfolk of all union men
to patronize union made merchandise
and places of business employing
union men.
Officials Of the Central Labor Union
declared that this will be one of their
strongest moves, as, they say, women
spend large part of the weekly
wage. There are $500 members in the
Columbia Typographical Union, and
the auxiliary is formed of the wives,
daughters and sisters of the members.
Rufus ]. Lusk. secretary of the
operative builders, today admitted the
assertion of William j. Gallagher of
of increased wages by means of or
ganizations similar to the fair wage
committee is being used in other
cities Mr.. Lusk said that similar
methods to prevent the sub-contrac
tors and employers from granting in
creases were being used successfully
in Chicago. New York. San Francisco,
Cleveland, Boston, St. Louis and
Louisville. He denied, however, that
there was any cooperative EFFORTS or
affiliated action by the building in
terests In these cities.
The local painters are requiring all
strikers to register twice day from
now on. 1t was explained that this
was precaution and necessitated be-
cause of the increase Of strike bene-
fits to $3.50 per week. Several ad-
ditional Jobs, it Is understood. were
given to the union painters shop this
morning.

BELL ASKS LISTING
OF DISTRICT BILLS
Measures Left Over by Last
Congress to Be Referred
to Advisory Council.

With the citizens advisory council
scheduled to be elected Saturday
night, Engineer Commissioner Bell
today ordered preparation of list
of all District legislation that was
pending at the close of Congress. in
order that the council may begin to
study it soon after the election.
Col Bell instructed his assistants
to compile a list of all the measures
that were not acted on by the Senate
and House before adjournment, and
will send them to Jesse c. Suter, pres
ident of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, to be laid before the
council.
"On some questions, Col. Bell said,
there are several proposed bills
pending. In such cases 1 believe the
council should determine which bill
will best accomplish the desired re-
suit and back that measure"
. Unity of Action Seem.
Col. Bell hopes the creation of the
council will bring about unity of ac-
ton on the part of citizens OF the
District in advocating needed legisla-
ton In Congress, instead of having
different groups supporting separate
measures on the same subject.
The Engineer Commissioner took
steps Saturday to prepare for the fed
Grafton an outline of what the coun-
ell will be expected to do in advising
the Commissioners as to what the
totals In the next estimates should be.
With only five days remaining be-
fore the election and with 80 candi-
dates in the field for the six seats to
be filled by the Federation of Citizens
Associations, interest in the election
is reaching the peak.
Friends of many of the candidates
are actively engaged in acquainting
the 80 delegates in the federation who
will do the voting with the qualiflca-
tions of their respective nominees.
Admittance by Gard.
In accordance with the suggestion
of the Commissioners, 1t has been de-
cided to have cards Of admission for
the federation, meeting Saturday night,
in order to avoid confusion resulting
from overcrowding.
Provision will be made for accom-
modating a limited number of leaders
in the citizen association movement,
in addition to the voting delegates.
Although the six seats on the coun-
ell are to be filled without direct re.
gard to sectional representation, there
are candidates in the running from
the Northwest, Northeast and South
east sections. and Indications are that
each of these localities will be repre-
sented when the. balloting is over.
The Southwest section did not nomis
nate a candidate.
The two colored members of the
council will be elected at meeting
of the Federation of Civic Associations
at the District Building Friday eve
ming, the night before the six white
members are chosen.

WILBUR DEFENDS
FLEET MANEUYERS
Tells Libby Cruise Creates
No Fear and Is Vital
in Training.

Visits OF ships of foreign navies to
the United States shores created no
fear in the United States, and like
wise United States ships in visiting
foreign ports should cause no alarm
to foreign nations, Frederick j. Libby,
secretary to the National Council for
the Prevention of War, was told in
q letter, which Secretary Wilbur of
the Navy Department wrote him to-
day and Immediately made public. Mr..
Libby had written the Secretary Ques-
tioning the Hawaiian maneuvers and
the proposed visit to Australian ports
by the United States Navy as an act
that might be taken as a display of
force and hurtful' to. the movement for
the perpetual peace. between nations.
Il am glad OF, this opportunity to
inform you of the correct meaning of
the annual mapeuvers of the fleet,
which this year are held between the
United States West coast and the
United States possession of Hawaii
over a period of about two months,
said Secretary Wilbur in his letter.
Cruise is Customary.
When the annual alsmaneuvers are
completed, it has been customary to
make a cruise to- our own or some
foreign port. These. 1ong cruises at
sea are especially valuable to the
training of all the. personnel of the
fleet in gaining familiarity and skill
in handling the. vessels as fleet and
in welding the various departments
and intricate mechanisms of each YES
sci into an efficient operating unit.
ut caused no alarm anywhere in
the world this year when England S
fleet and the French fleet held their
annual maneuvers. -
1T causes no alarm in this country
when the Japanese hold their annual
maneuvers. In the recent cruise OF
Japanese squadron to the coast of
California and, the Panama Canal
such good feeling was created and
many friendships made between the
visiting Japanese squadron and the
Americans on the west coast am
inclosing a MESA ge from the minister
of marine of Japan and q copy of the
letter from the president Of the Cham
Der of Commerce of San Francisco on
this subject"
1.-The movements of the ships of
foreign nations for the purpose OF
training their men or for friendly
visits creates no fear in us, as they
are both proper things for SOW
ereign nation to do. There is no rea-
son to believe that the annual train
ing of our men. our friendly .'i5i,S
are looked upon any differently BY
foreign nations than we look upon
their routing cruises and training.
Various nations and ports have
been visited in past years on these
cruises. The cruises have always pro-
NOTED friendship and enhanced the
prestige of the United States, both
automatically and commercially. For
this years cruise it was decided TO
send the fleet on a visit OF courtesy
to Australia since that, country had
not been visited by the tisat for 16
years and since the fleet was already
in the Pacific for the Hawaii ma
neuvers."
