Dean of Operators
Decides to Take 80

Milwaukee, Wis. - = William
Dean for the past thirty years an
Associated Press operator, assigned
to duty in Milwaukee has retired. Mr..
Dean said he intends visiting numer-
Gus places which have attracted his
attention including trip to Alaska,
which he contemplates taking within
the next few weeks.
Since the Kenosha Evening News be-
came a member of the Associated
Press, and its leased wire service was
established, Mr.. Dean has been at the
sending end of great deal of the
important and interesting news of the
day which Kenosha readers have en-
joyed. Of the millions who read the
worlds news as gathered and trans
mitted by the great press associations,
few realize the tremendous import
ance to them of the great army of
operators who sit at the, wires and
send and take. 1t is the highest type
of telegraph work, requiring excep-
tional skill, answering fidelity, and
immunity from fatigue. To have clos
ed thirty years of such work entities
Mr.. Dean to we'll earned rest.

NOTEDBUILDER,
CAPITALISTS TO
CONSIDER PLAN
H. Josey, Financier on
Trip From San Anton
10; Charles, Oklahoma
Factor, in Brownsville

Percy Tyrrell Of San Antonio,
one Of the most successful hotel
men in the South, may build
the Brownsville tourist hotel.
Announcement was made to-
day that upon the invitation of
Mayor A. B. Cole, S. C. Tucker
and John Gregg, of the hotel
committee, Mr.. Tyrrell will ar
rive in Brownsville this after
noon by automobile to 60 into
the hotel proposition with the
local interests. t
Mr.. Tyrrell will be accompanied by H.
Josey Of San Antonio, prominent capital
ist of the Alamo City. They are making
the automobile trip in order to get a
first hand view Of the entire lower
Valley M P
Preceding Mr.. Tyrrell was another
bankercapitalst, j. B. Charles of Okla
homa. Mr.. Charles is a guest at the
Miller Hotel, where he is awaiting the
arrival of Mr.. Tyrrell and Mr. Josey
Mr.. Tyrrel is former owner Of the
Gunter Hotel, San Antonio, which under
his direction attained national repu-
tation. Before selling the Gunter he
erected the Robert Z. Lee hotel at San
Antonio. He is also building Robert
+. Lee hotel at Laredo, and just few
days ago announced that he will. build
large hostelry in Houston to be known
as the Robert E. Lee Hotel.
In connection with the coming Of Mr..
Tyrrell the following statement was
made to The Herald today by a gentle
man who knows Mr.. Tyrrell we'll:
Mr. Tyrrell is a genius as a hotel
operator. In Mr.. Charles and Mr.. Josey
he has men behind him fully able to
finance anything that Mr. Tyrrell wants
to put over. If Mr.. Tyrrell recommends
the Brownsville hotel proposition to
them, it will certainly be built If he
does not-well, am afraid that Browns
ville's opportunity to obtain large,
tourist commercial hotel at the present
time will be lost, or at least the $1,000
bonus period will have expired 1t is
up to Brownsville to show these gentle
men that we really want great hotel
and that we have the elements here to
make Of it a successful business propesi-
ton
The invitation to Mr,eTyrrell was ex-
tended several weeks ago, and this has
been his first opportunity to come here
owing to the fact that his hotel projects
in other cities have kept him very busy
for the past several months.
Messrs. Josey. Charles and Tyrrell
WILL spend two or three days in Browns
vile. 1t is probable that a mass meet
ing will be held during their stay in
the city. In some quarters, it is re-
garded as likely that their decision will
be made before they leave Browns
vile. ~

BILL SIGNED BY
MRS. FERGUSON

Disguise in Any Man
ner Punishable; Tar
Parties Blamed

AUSTIN, Texas, March o.
The Holbrook anti-masking bill
prohibiting wearing Of masks
in public, was signed today by
Governor Miriam A. Ferguson.
The law carries an emergency
clause, and therefore goes into
effect Immediately.
Wearing of masks in public is
prohibited and severe penalties
are attached for going into pub
lie buildings, churches or private
residences while masked.
The law meets a demand not only
from the Ferguson administration but
also from the democratic platform, and
is considered to be result of tarring
and whipping assaults by masked par
ties which have occurred in Texas in
the last few years.
The penalties are as follows:
For going masked into or near any
public place or disguised to hide idcn;i
ty $500 fine.
Masked near or in private HON ;, oT.e
TO ten years in the penitentidry.
Masked near or in a churca, except st
chJlch entertainments, two tc ten :.ear:
For assault while masked, not less
than five years IN the penitentiary
The section concerning parades is as
follows:
1T shall be unlawful for any secret
society or organization or part of the
members thereof, masked or in disguise,
to parade upon or along any public
road or any street or alley of any city
or town in this state, and all members
of such society or organization so parad
ing, or other members OF such society
rades shall be guilty of an offense of
and upon conviction shall be fixed in
any sum not less than 500 nor more
than $500 or Imprisonment in the coun-
ty Jail not more than six months, or by
both such fine and imprisonment"
A similar bill was introduced in the
house by Representative Mankin of
Georgetown but the Holbrook bill was
substituted for it in the senate. The
Mankin measure exempted the Shriners
and Mardi Gras festivals from the
masking prohibition.
The bill passed the senate with only
one dissenting vote. In the house nu-
merous Attempts to amend it failed
