BABYS SMILE WINS
PRISONER PARDON

LENOX, Mass, Aug. 29.-Across
the marble halls of "Groton Place"
today strobe Greenville L. Winthrop,
millionaire New York banker.
The man Of wealth was smiling
and happy, for in his arms he car
ried a chubby, laughing baby boy.
The infant, cooling in his best bib
and tucker, had played successfully
the role Of domestic pescemaker, I'M
conscious, no doubt, Of what he had
accomplished.
But the once angry banker had
forgiven his daughter, Kate, the mo-
ment he saw the baby bOy-forgiven
her for electrifying society year ago
by clipping with the village electrician,
Darwin Morse.
Mother and son-whose name is
Darwin Jr.-came across the con-
tinent from Santa Barbara, Cal, TO
see Grandpa" Winthrop.
Society here is now wondering
whether Winthrop will also forgive
his older daughter, Emily, who eloped
at the same time as did Kate, with
Corey /. Wills. the Winthrop chauf.
feur. Emily and her husband are nv-
ing in California.
The Morses will live in "GrOton
Place until next month, when they
will move into the Plunkett Honse on
Bartlett Avenue, which is being reno
waited and refurnished for them.
They will move in, it is said, on the
day Mrs. Morse celebrates the first an
niyersary Of her marriage TO the hand
some young electrician, who made love
to her on the Winthrop estate, where
he was employed as superintendent Of
the chicken farm.

SCION OF WEALTHY
FAMILY IS JAILED

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Some-
where, sometime, somebody sized up
the four parts of the United States
thus:
"In the West they ask what can
you do?
in the North they ask how much
do you know :,
"In the East they ask how much
money have you?
I'm the South they ask who are
your"
And it was this latter characteriza-
ton which caused the name Of Robert
Nelson" to be placed on the court
records in White Plains today, when
the youth was sentenced to Sing Sing
for three years on a charge of burg
larry.
Robert Nelson" admittedly is not
the prisoners right name. He is said
to be the scion of wealthy and So
cially prominent Tennessee family.
He pleaded guilty to the charge,
but asked Judge Bleakley for a pri-
vate talk in his chambers. 1t was
here that he told. it is said, the stand
ing of his family, revealed what a
name meant in the South, and so i'm
pressed the judge that the latter
agreed to sentence him under the
alias.

KIDNAPPING GANGS
CARRY OFF WOMEN
IN SCHOOL RAIDS

MEXICO CITY. Aug. 29.-Villages
near Mexico City are being patrolled
by armed guards after bands of kid
napers raided the public schools in
%ocbimilico and carried off several
girls.
Newspapers in the capital published
warnings 10 parents to keep their chill
dren at home as the only means OF foil
ing the kidnapers, who already have
carried off scores of girls.
Although feeling is running high
over the disappearance Of young girls,
averaging two daily, the government
and newspapers have warned against
lynching the kidnapers IL any is
caught. Lynchings, it was pointed out,
would prevent the recovery OF the
missing girls.

PAID
FOR D|LLEY
ACREAGE
D. d. Harrigan Buys 5000
Acres for Cultivation
Purposes.

One Of the largest land deals ever
made in the Winter Garden district
has just been closed. D. D. Harrigar
of San Antonio purchased 5000 acres
near Dilley from E. B. Chandler and
Company. The consideration was
$4,000, large amount being cash.
By this transfer the two tracts of
land known as the Panther Hollow
Ranch and the Sackville Home"
Ranch, Mr.. Hsrrigan acquires his sec
ond large Winter Garden tract, the
first being purchased last December.
The Crawford Ranch of 10000 was
involved in the first deal. More than
10000 acres have been sold by him
TO German and Bohemian farmers.
FINE FARM LAND.
The Sackville Home" Ranch has a
frontage of about five miles on the
south side of the Leona river, begin
ming one mile west Of the Meridian
Highway and the I.-G. n. railroad, and
extending south almost to the city lin
its of Dilley. 1t contains approximate
ly 5000 acres. of which 5000 acres are
in cultivation, the balance being river
valley lands. The Panther Hollow
Ranch contains 5000 acres, of which
more than 1000 are in cultivation.
There are more than twenty tenant
houses, as well as a number Of wells
and windmills on the two tracts, both
of which lie entirely in the artesian
district. some Of the largest flowing
wells in Frio county being located on
three sides of these properties. 1t is
understood that about IS per cent OF
this property is first-class farm land.
In spite of the drought as much as
quarter of bale of cotton per acre
is being raised this year on part of
the land.
While Mr.. Harrigan has made no
announcement as TO whether this prop
erty will be further improved and held
as an investment or sold in smaller
tracts to German and Bohemian farm
ers, as was the Crawford Ranch, there
is a practical certainty that substan-
tial development will take place.
ATTRACTS FARMERS.
1t is Mr.. Harrigan's opinion that
never again can gOOd lanu Win the
possibilities of the Dilley section be
had at the present prices, which are
brought about BIZ the demoralized cat
lie market. making it impossible for
ranchmen TO Craze cattle on land capa-
bic of producing from one-fourth TO
three-fourths of a bale of cotton to
the acre without irrigation and with
much greater possibilities if water is
put on the land.
The wonderful highway leading from
San Antonio past this property, to-
gether with its irrigation possibilities,
the prospect of opening of the Medina
lands TO the public, the probable irri-
cation Of 100000 acres in the Nueces
valley ct Cotulla, the development Of
the Catarina property, and the general
improvement Of the entire Winter Gar
den district are the factors that are
attracting far-sighted investors to the
Dilley section. The citrus fruit indus
try, while in It's infancy, is destined
IN convert this section into a vast or
rhsrd.
