OF
MAYOR COLE
Commissions Action
Not Made Clear,
He Says

The following statement was made
today by Mayor A II Cole IN refer
ence to the statement published in
The Herald Thursday. emanating
from Fl C Ludden. manager of the
Valley Electric N lee Company:
The Herald yesterday in report
ing the action of the City Commits
sion. in reference 20 the proposed
sale Of the Light Plant. did not make
clear the action of the City Commits
sion with reference to the pr0posi-
tion made hy the Valley Electric and
Ice Company 10 purchase the Plant.
and in order to keep the record
straight, ] will state what actually
took place at the meeting w the City
Commission when said proposition
was made
When Mr. Luddcn. Superintend-
ent Of Valley Electric 4 Ice Com
pany, presented To the City Commits
sion at it, last meeting an ap-
plication to have. the commits
sion order I'M election 10 determine
whether or not the tax payers Of the
City desired 70 sell the Light Plant
fnr 100000 90. !. and all the other
members of the City Commission
present told Mr. Ludden that W.
would have nothing whatever 10 a.
with the proposition and the only
way i'm which we would call an elet-
tion would be when compelled to do
sO by petition uf the tax payers DF
this City in the manner provided bv
Charter for an initiative. Mr. Lud-
den thereupon withdrew his applica-
tion and kept his check which ho
had offered to defray the cost w an
election and said he would wv what
he could do about having the people
petition the City Commission 10 or
der such an election.
The members of the City Commis-
sion told Mr.. Ludden that in their
opinion the people would not Ne will
ing to sell the Light Plant for the
amount offered and made il qui.e
plain 40 him that the Commission
would take and will take no stnrs
whatever towards calling w supp@t-
ing an election for the sale OF the
plant, at any price. unless compelled
% DO 50 by the tax payers Of the
City IN strict accordance with the
terms of the charter.
II feel sure that the plant. valued
on It's earning capacity. Is worth
great deal more than the price offer
ed by Mr.. Ludden, and therefore
think ~ would be a very poor bust
ness proposition for Brownsville to
dispose Of its electric plant az any
thing like the offer made by Mr.
Ludden. The earning capacity of
the plant should increase from year

course the value or our electric plant.
will increase accordingly

Foreign Ministers Of
France and Germany
Bind Countries To
Never Draw Sword

GENEVA. Sept. l0.-tPp-Germany
tions today amid scenes of European
reconciliation. which in their free
enthusiasm have been unexamplcd
since the armistice.
GeoImany and France, through For
eign Ministers Stresemann and Bri-
and. committed themselves TO per
petual peace. and solemnly engaged
the honor Of their nations hence
forth never TO draw the sword but
to settle disputes By arbitration or
compromise.
Three things stood ont dramatical-
~ on this historic date. The first
was Dr. Stresemann's picture Of
present day Germany rs gripped only
by lofty ideals, determined to dedi-
cate her energies hencefoith 20 inter
national cooperation, based on a
high intellectual and moral plane.
This spirit. he said. had entered in
to the very conscience of the Ger
man people.
The second feature was the re-
markable oration Of NJ. BRAND,
whose declaration that Germany and
France have had enough glory in the
past and need no further demonstra-
tion Of heroism. and whose proclama-
tion that the roar Of guns hal now
been silenced, evoked tumultous ap-
plause.
VI. BRAND Cheered
The third outstanding incident was
tha scene Of almost delirious jubila-
tion throughout the vast auditorium,
when Sir George Foster Of Canada
arose, as VI. BRAND was resuming
his speech and, waving high the
Union Jack, called for three cheers
for Frances eminent leader.
Instantly. every men and woman
IN the hall stood and joined in the
uproar Of applausa which lasted sew
cial minutes and which seemed n
spontaneous expr ssion oi JOY that
the two principal protagonists in the
great war had sworn henccforth to
abandon the use Of arms and seek
solution of all their difficulties in
the peaceful atmosphere OF the
league Of nations.
Faith will move mountains" VI.
BRAND affirmed during his ad-
dress. Both he and Dr. Stresemann
admitted that maIG problems still
awaited solution. but voiced the con
Viction that, By the exercise of good
will. and by I,aIizing that the world
has had enough OF war. solutions
could always be found.
Old Order Has Passed
Dr. Strcsemann emphasized the i'm
portance of economic understandings
among nations. saying the old order
OF things had nassed and that the
new economic life needed new forms
~ international cooperation which
would give less Importance 10 ma
tional boundaries.
Recalling that the disarmament Of
Germany stipulated in the Treaty of
Versailles WAS proclaimed there as
the precursor Of general disarma-
msnt. and thus affording proof that
positive constructive forces existed
in the league lie appealed to Spain
ont 10 leave the laague.

CLEVER SENCIO
DIES after BOUT
WITH BUD TAYLOR

Milwaukee. Wis, April 20.--P)--
Clever Sencio, midget Filipino boxer,
died today, alone, in his hotel room,
after a furious ten round engagement
with Buddy Taylor, Terre Haute,
Ind, challenger for the bantamweight
title, here last night.
The 81 year old Filipino was found
upon his bed in a pool Of blood.
Whether death had been caused by
the punishment which all but knock
ed him unconscious. In the tenth
round, has not been determined. Ap-
J parently death was due to an In
trnal hemmorrhage.
Sencio. fighting q marvelously
game fight, was upon the verge of
collapse last. night before the final
bell, Keeling about with hardly
enough strength to deliver a blow.
The midget boxer, resembling
Japanese doll, in his ring toys, was
the second Filipino to die in America,
and the second victor of Taylor, who
has died after a contest with him.
Pancho Villa, former worlds fly
weight champion, died in San Fran
cisco after his fight with Jimmy
McLarin, but his death was caused
from blood poisoning. He went into
the ring with McLarin a year ago
in July, suffering fom infected teeth
and with a jaw inflamed from an
extraction and poison. He was pun
ished severely about the head and
blood poisoning developed.
Sencio has been in America about
eight months. He had engaged in
half a dozen matches and two of
major importance, a contest with FL
del Labarba, the fiyweight champion,
in Los Angeles, q month ago, ana
his match with Taylor.
Taylor's first victim was frankie
Jerome, a New York bantam. who
collapsed after the fight, dying In
the hospital That was in January,
1924. Taylor was exonerated.
Sencio, holding Taylor fairly even
for nine rounds last night, was near
q collapse at the finish OF the tenth.
1t was fighting instinct alone that
kept the Manila boy tearing in ike
a bull dog. In furious mix-up IN
Taylor's corner the Terre Haute
blonde nailed his smaller foe with
short right to the chin, that ali but
knocked him fiat. Taylor ripped in
to him. driving lefts and rights to
the body and head and chasing Sen
clio around the ring. The game ut
tie Filipino, his brain whirling and
his legs shaking. tried his level best
to fight back while the big crowd,
thrilled in the excitement OF ms
gameness, cheered his remarkable
exhibition.
Walter Houlihan, referee. said the
punch which started Sencio tottering
toward defeat did not travel more
than six inches and landed on the
peak of his chin.
After the contest Sercio was eX-
.amined by physicians for the WIS
consin boxing commission. His con-
dition then apparently did not cause
apprehension.
Taylor said:
81 wish | had been knocked out
with the first punch rather than TO
have had that little Filipino die.
NV friends tell me that | am great
boxer. but they seem to forget the
had luck which has trailed me Tor
the last few years. Perhaps VIII
