into office in order to carry through
the Improvement program now un-
derway.
However. it is stated definitely
That Commissioner Of Finance j. 5,

r. B. Creager. before leaving for
Washington Friday night to be gone
a week or ten days, discussed the

er for The Herald. Mr.. Creager said:
Praises Administration
I'm my opinion we have had a very
satisfactory administration Of the
affairs Of Brownsville during the last
few years. We have been moving
ahead with our public improvements
steadily and consistently and. as q
citizen, / am proud TO say we have
been remarkably free from even ru-
mors of graft or improper conduct
on the part of our city officials.

has under serious consideration and
has been giving thought and study 20
a municipal airport, a municipal
auditorium and municipal parks-all
improvements vitality necessary for
h future progress Of our city. and
all improvements that we should
have without a days unnecessary de-
lay.
I'm answer to your question as 10
my views with reference 10 the ap-
preaching city election. | will answer
frankly that ! believe fhe best in
terests of Brownsville will be served
by returning the present city Of
IiclalS 10 offlce Tor another TWO
years. ! am reliably informed that
Commissioner Ford has stated he
would not run again. His place
could be filled by the selection of
some live and intelligent citizen
known to have the best interests of
Brownsville at heart.

give us considerable notoriety abroad,

citizenship and. in my conservative
judgement, could do no possible good.
cit is my understanding that
Messrs- Cole. Hinkley. Starck and
Hipp would consent 10 serve again II

NOBLEMAN TO APPEAR
in LA MALQUERIDA' AT GRAND
THEATRE HERE ON JANUARY z

Maria Guerrero and Fernando Diaz
de- Mendoza, distinguished Spanish dra-
matte artists, who come to the Grand
for one night-onlyy in Jose }Beneventes s
LA Malquerida," have sent special
request to Walter o. Lindsey that there
shall be no sensational publicity and
that he refrain as much as possible
from using the fact that Fernando
Diaz de Mendoza is a Spanish grandee
and triple nobleman, being Marquis de
Fontanar Count Lailang and Count
Balasota. They desire to be introduced
in the theatre in Spain and ON the
continent.
AS a matter of fact, it would be diff
ficult to sensationalizc them at all,
because their private lives have been
equally brilliant in point Of whole
someness and charm as their accom-
plishments on the stage. They have no
fads or fancies, no pet animals and no
fear of the ocean.
They have a theatre of their own in
Ruenos Aires and have made frequent
trips to South America and Havana
where they are worshiped as devotedly
as they are in Spain. They have two
sons, said to be as talented as their
parents, and they have devoted their
lives to them and their art. They have
sought to progress with the times and
have been distinguished for the many
innovations they have made. Fernando

What strange incidents constantly

the changed travel conditions = the
change from trains to automobiles ana
from railroads to highways! Thursday
morning, Mrs j. H. Sells of Los An
geles, with three small children, passed
through Douglas, making her way
afoot and pushing a go-cart from Los
Angeles to Tulsa, Okla depending on
the kindness of passing motorists TO
help her reach her destinations.
Mrs. Sells tells a strange story of
misfortune, as follows.
"We went to California about a
month ago from our home in Saginaw
Mich, after my husband had been
promised employment there. When
we reached California the position he
expected to get had been filled. For
two weeks he walked the Streets try
ing to find employment, but could not

Jack Pierce, race horse owner of
Phoenix, spent the day Thursday in
Douglas on his way from Tiajuana
track to his home. He was forced to
stop over here due to the illness of
Black Pat, "The Pride of Arizona"
Black Pat Is race horse with a good
reputation for running in the money
and he has had hard season at the
Tiajuana track and was taken off the
horse car here in very bad shape.
Pierce had in his string aboard the
horse car here nine head of racers, all
but two or three of which are thor
oughbreds. The horses are Black Pat,
Captain Mac, Allerio, Billy Skidd
Dustman, st. Pierre, Snowden, Davy
L. Mills and Bobby L. Mills.
This string has a long record, with
somei brilliant chapters in it. The
bunch looked travel worn asl they
summed themselves in the stock pens
yesterday afternoon, and several of
them had bad knees and ankles, but
the veteran track men will tell you
that horse that runs for few years
without developing bad ankles or knees
never really amounts to much, for it
takes real effort on the part of the
horse to break down the ankles.
Rierce expects to winter the string
at Phoenix and entrain for the spring
meet at Tiajuana some time early in
March. He has toured the United
States and Canada with race horses
and says that his favorite, the long,
lanky Black Pat, is one of the fastest
in this part of the world in long
race, although Short horses" outrun
him on short distances.
