thrown negro communities into a
religious turmoil which has not sub

birds did not come from Heaven at
all. but from Jack Miners sanctuary
IN Canada, where wild creatures
gather by the thousands because
they know they are safe from harm.
After the first Of the geese was
slain by the negro pastor of a little
Baptist church in Mississippi the re-
port spread that bird had come
down from Heaven with a message or
holy writ tied to its leg, and indica-

was close at hand.
When another. goose bearing an
other scriptural message was killed
in another locality, the theory gained
new strength, and revivals began to
spring up, such as even negro COM
munities seldom know. In the mean
time word drifted down from the Tar
North that an Indian settlement In
the Hudson Bay country was feellng
much the same way about the matter,
because there, too. q wild goose killed
earlier in the season had been found

Plan Is Successful.
With two such widely separated
sections of the country stirred by
this apparent miracle, news came that
the geese were from Jack Miners
sanctuary in Canada. and that 1t has
become his custom to tag many or
the birds with verses Of the Bible in
the hope that fowls of the air may be
used for missionary purposes.
Miners success has been beyond
anything he could have imagined. His
wild geese have done an evangelical
work that even Billy Sunday himself
could not have accomplished.

BOND ROW SOLUTION

WACO. April 14.-CP-Speaking
before a mass meeting here last night,
sponsored By the chamber Of COM
merce, John Maxwell, former assist
ant attorney general, discussed the
Texas road bond situation.
THE way things stand now" Mr..
Maxwell said, in view Of the recent
action Of the Supreme court declaring
the Archer county bonds illegal, Texas
faces loss Of reputation among in
dividual bond buyers and a great loss
in money.
The solution offered which seems
70 be the best is this: That the Legis-
latUre in special session, organize the
present road districts into districts
similar to the school districts; then
these new districts would issue bonds
and buy the roads from the old dis
tricts. The Supreme courts action in
declaring the bonds illegal was based
on the Fourteenth amendment 10 the
Constitution"

R. B. Creager Seeks Permit
for Commissioners
of Cameron.

BROWNSVILLE, April LITTLE
fight for right TO build n $500, 600
bridge across the Rio Grande between
Brownsville and Matamoros has final
ly reached such a stage that it is not
expected that the legal battle will be
Strengthened out for some time.
The latest kink in the situation was
added recently when r, B. Creager of
Brownsville, who now holds a fran
chise from the city of Brownsville, and
permits from the United States and
Mexican governments to build the
bridge, filed a petition with the COM
missioners' court Of Cameron county
for permit to build the bridge.
SUIT PENDING.
This action followed the recent ac-
ton of C. G. Malott of San Antonio,
one Of the three parties seeking to
build the bridge, in filing a similar
petition with the commissioners court.
At the present time there is a suit
here May 10, in which E. X. Good
rich and associates, known as the
Brownsville and Matamoros Rapid
Transit Company, are asking for an
injunction restraining Creager and as
sociates from building the bridge. The
grounds set forth are constitutionality
Of the franchise granted to Creager, as
the plaintiffs allege that their prop
erty is being damaged without return
being made.
CREAGER IN MEXICO.
Also another injunction suit is pend
ing in the court Of civil appeals in
San Antonio. This is the suit filed
by Mr.. Malott and refused by Judge
A. NJ. Kent, of the district civil court
Of Brownsville. After it was refused
here it was appealed to the San An
tonic court.
How the matter will end is still
problematical. Mr.. Creager. who is
now in Mexico City on business, an
nOunced before his departure that he
is proceeding with plans to build the
bridge, and will start with it as soon
as possible. The other two parties
in the conflict announce their inten-
tons of building the bridge.

BERLIN. April 14.-The long

able to talk continuously for SIX
days and promises to use ten

latest to stage an endurance con-
test. Endurance contests are all

without food.
The long distance talker calls
himself KOraz and promises to
beat the records of the greatest

Jolly imitators, however, are
less lucky. One hunger artist
has shown w as a fraud at Leip-
