(Rv The Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. 14-The
proposed new Mexican law enacting
provisions of the celebrated article ~
Of the Mexican constitution, which has
been causing concern and speculation in
Washington, has avoided in phraseol-
ogy any terms Of the pitfalls predict
ed and expected for it, according to a
Mexican embassy copy of the law, as it
passed the chamber of deputies yes
terday
The law now arranges that the pro-
vision against foreigners holding stoch
in companies owning land in the pro-
hibited zones along the Mexican bor-
der and sea coasts shall be effected by
disposal of the land owned by such
companies within ten years, instead Of
by requiring that the stockholders sell
their shares in the companies within
three years, as originally planned.
The law as it now reads applies only
to agricultural lands. and an Addition
al clause provides that the land on
which industrial. mining and oil COM
panies hold long leases shall not be
brought under the agricultural landY
classification as far as applies to lands
actually neeueu Tor LnelT BUSINESSES
The statute also makes provision
against retroactivity, allowing owners
who legally acquired land or stock in
land owning companies prior to the en-
actment of the law to hold such pros-
erty until their death. Inheritance is
provided to legal heirs who obtain per-
mission from the Mexican foreign Of
flee, that is, who agree to waive their
rights as nationals of other countries
and all claim to protection from the
home governments.
This provision is reiterated in the
qualifications to land owners, although
the United States government has stat
ed in official notes that American cit
liens cannot waive their right to pro-
lection by the United States from ans
abuses which may occur to them
abroad.

The present commission consists of
A. B. Cole, b. E. Hinkley, Sr., John

The last two names do not appear on

1t is understood that the proposed

Reports of the formation of other
tickets were run down today but ap-

1T is important in Brownsville that
we do not permit the return of the red

prior to 1914" said one leader Satur-
day. "They always resulted in a greas
deal of hard feeling that was detri-
mental to the welfare of the city. We
believe that Brownsville has made ex-

CHARGE FILED
Slain Radio Singer Was
at One Time Assistant
Police Chief of Mata-
mOrOS

Salutiano Perales, who is charged
with the murder Of Jose Garza Rougier,
Brownsville radio singer, will probably
survive the wound he received yes
terday, it was indicated in reports from
the Mercy hospital last night.
An operation was performed on Pc
rales yesterday afternoon, and the bull
let which entered his side and lodged in
his back was removed. 1t was bullet
from a % calibre pistol.
Jose Garza Rogier, who was killed as
result of the accidental shooting Of
Perales on the target range near
Brownsville yesterday morning, was
well known here and in Matamoros. He
was at one time assistant chief of police
in Matamoros, and came to this city
several years ago following a change in
governmental officials in Matamoros.
Rogier owned and operated store
in Brownsville, on Fourteenth street.
Since the Brownsville municipal
broadcasting station was opened several
months ago Rogier has become we'll
known to fans of the station. He sang
many Spanish songs over the station,
bringing praise from many listeners.
Rogier was engaged to be married
when the accidental shooting of Perales
resulted in his death. He had already
built house in-Which he and his bride
to-be were to live.
The shooting was the result of a
series of accidents. Rougier and Cecilio
Sotullo, a carpenter of Brownsville,
were at the target range east of Browns.
vile, and were preparing to do some
shooting with .22 calibre automatic
pistol. Rougier, being a former officer,
is good shot with a pistol, and prac-
tices frequently, it was explained
Rougier had gone off several yards to
place some tin cans on the target to
shoot at. While he was engaged in this
manner Sotullo was lingering the auto
matte pistol, trying to get it ready to
shoot.
In the mean time Perales passed near
the two men. He had been hunting rab-
bits, and had double barrel shotgun
with him.
As Perales came on the scene the
small calibre pistol was accidentally dis
charged, and the bullet struck Perales
in the side. He fell to the ground,
screaming as he did so, and Rougier,
attracted by the noise, rushed to the
scene to see if he could assist the
wounded man.
Perales suddenly jumped to his feet,
Sotullo told officers, and seeing Rougier
standing near him, shot the young man
through the stomach with charge of
bird shot. Rougier died instantly.
