The EschCummins law in effect, considers that every

those sections have proved otherwise The law appears to
take the position that the railroad follows development rather
than pecedes it. this law had been passed forty

The question raised in connection with the application
of the Southern Pacific to build into this section Is there
sufficient present and prospective traffic to permit of the
efficient and profitable operation Of two lines Of railroad

Only experts in the economic phases Of railroad

probably only IN the abstract If the Valley had reached
what considered full development then of facts
and figures could be supplied which would show beyond que3

whether it would support two.
But the Valley is considered by most people still in its
infancy, both in population and ii production What the
of growth and expansion will be the next five,

any degree of certainty

SP.NOT NEEDED
CREACER AYERS
kiwanis Club Addressed
by Special Counsel
for M. P. System

What we need in the Valley now is
not another railroad, but reduced
freight rates, and if we have another
road built into the Valley, lower freight
rates will be an indefinite time in being
realized" said R. B. Creager, special
counsel for the Missouri Pacific, in a
talk before the Kiwanis club of Browns
vile at noon today.
President Harry L. Faulk Of the club
announced that Mr.. Creager's talk was
one of a series of two in connection
with the railroad agitation, and that a
Southern Pacific representative would
talk to the club next week
No action by the club was asked, nor
was it suggested.
The future city of the Valley will
be at the point where the Southern Pa
cific crosses the Rio Grande into Mex
ico, said Mr.. Creager, in the event that
road comes into the Valley. He made
this remark after stressing the fact
that he was speaking to Brownsville
audience, and declaring that as sure as
the Southern Pacific comes to the Val
ley, and is extended to the Rio Grande
near Hidalgo, the road will go on into
Mexico.
Brownsville is the city of the Val
ley now, and the Missouri Pacific is
trying to build up the trade with Mex
leo through this port. The supremacy
of Brownsville in the Valley will stop
the day the Southern Pacific crosses
the border into Mexico
Mr.. Creager opened his talk at the
club with appreciation Of the opportun-
| ity to be present, and with statement
that Valley people are tolerant due to
their cosmopolitan origin and education
coming here from all parts of the coun-
try.
He outlined the problem as does the
Valley need, and will it profit by the
new line at this, time or in the near fu-
ture?"
Mr.. Creager said that most people
have pre- conceived opinions Of the need
for new railroads, and said if put to a
vote in any community of the county
80 per cent of the people would always
favor. new road. This is brought
about by sentiment arising during the
former conditions Of railroads when
they were. not regulated by the govern
ment, he said. The rates are fixed now

firm ARRESTED
Thirteen Men Held Af-
ter New York Raids;
Warrants Out for Ia
Others; Chief Escapes

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. "a.
What is officially regarded as
the biggest bootleg ring in the
country has been smashed after
being allowed to operate five
months while, a regiment of fed
eral agents obtained evidence on
which they hope to convict ~
men Of conspiracy to violate the
dry law.
Raiders of the new dry regime
of General Lincoln G. Andrews
yesterday invaded two office
buildings simultaneously IN
the theatrical district at Times
Square and arrested 13 men.
Warrants for fourteen more re-
main to be served.
The ring, doing business in the guise
of a real estate firm. operated in the
United States and Canada. Federal au-
thorities learned about the ring through
the seizure Of the steamer Natisco off
Astoria, Long Island, last April with
500 cases of liquor after she had come
through the coast guard blockade dis
guised with lumber piled on deck
Thirty agents put on the case found
that the ship had been bought at Glou-
cester City, Vermont, by an agent Of
the ring for $4,000. The trail then led
to Irving Wexler, alias Wake Gordon,
a we'll known crook, authorities said:
Wexler evidently got wind of what
was coming and fled to Europe with his
wife a few days ago in a luxurious
stateroom. Three of his lieutenants,
however, were arrested. The ring is
said to have maintained purchasing
agents in Nova Scotia, leased warehous-
es in the United States and sold choice
liquors to Broadway cafes and habitues.
Only q pints Of whiskey were found in
the offices. Records Of customers also
\ were seized.
While the agents were there cafe
proprietor telephoned for a case of clar-
ct. He was told to come and get it.
He did and was arrested.
The raids yesterday carried out the
policy of nabbing the higher-ups and
letting the small fry bartenders and
walters go.
