CRACKER
GETS NO LOOT
Safes Success
fully Resist Efforts
Of Burglar

A trail of smashed safe knobs and
looted filling stations, extending
from Los Fresnos through Browns
Vile to Olmito, believed TO have been
the work Of a youthful amateur, is
being followed BY officers Of the
sheriff's department.
Efforts we're made Friday night
Of last week 4 rob three places in
Los Fresnos, the knobs OF the safes
at Southern Pacific depot and the
South Texas Lumber Co. being
smashed off BY the burglar in a vain
effort 10 reach their contents. Tools
for the work we're stolen from the
Los Fresnos garage.
Failing 70 secure loot az Los Fres-
nos the burglar came on TO Browns
Vile. broke the lock At the Tourist
Park filling station and helped him
self 10 gasoline and oil, and also sp-
propriated candy and cookies. He
then moved the scene Of operation to
Olmito where he entered the office Of
the Eagle Pass Lumber Co, and after
knocking the knob off an unlocked
safe. secured some bedding and cloth
ing. The safe in the lumber company
could have been opened by merely
turning the knob, but after knocking
the knob off the burglar was unable
% get AZ the contents.
No clues were left By the burglar
at any point. but the manner in
which the knob we're knocked off
would indicate he was an amateur,
officers state.

again appealed to the hunters of
Cameron county to refrain from

nesting season.
Although the season opened July Il.
Coffee declared that the birds have
not completed nesting and that the
killing Of them will cause the young
70 starve.
IF there are some hunters who are
determined TO shoot them at this
time" Coffee said. II ask that they
get at least a mile away from the
brush where the birds have nestled.
The mother bird doesn't generally
range that far from her young. The
male bird does, however, but killing
him Is not half as bad a. killing the
female which is now in the midst Of
raising her young"
Coffee intimated that the next leg
islature would be requested TO close
the season on these birds for from
two to five years.
If this is not DONE" he said. "the

PARIS
MILLS DIZZY
GRIND to- HALT
American Cases Found
To Ignore Require
ments of Law; u. S.
Caused Inquiry


PARIS, July I0.-(P-The divorce
mill Of Paris in the future will grind
slowly for Americans.
The hand Of Louis Barthou. minis
ter Of justice, has fallen heavily on
those who have been making the
wheels of the divorce court revolve
with dizzy rapidity for their Ameri-
can clients. Seven lawyers and two
process servers are to appear before
a civil tribunal sitting as a disci-
plinary court on July 81. Recommen-
dations Of this court will be placed
before the bar association and Judges
OF the appellate court for action. NJ.
Chibot, a court clerk, will be tried
on July %.
Judge Grenet, who is alleged to
have been altogether too easy going
and lacking in pe~rspicacity, is to ap-
pear before the council Of magis-
trstes next October and they will
decide the penalty to be inflicted
upon him. In his court l42 Of the
1877 American divorce cases heard in
Paris last year were tried.
u. s. Started Move
IL is understood that Washington
drew the French foreign Offices at
tention 10 the intense publicity at
tending Paris divorces. Some time
ago strict injunctions we're issued to
all concerned to see that the utmost
requirements OF the law were full
filled.
All, however, seemed to no avail.
for divorces, at least as far as Paris
was concerned, continued 10 be turn
ed out with the same speed. Finally
five months ago, NJ. Barthou request
ed the appellate court 10 conduct an
exhaustive and discreet investigation.
President Dreyfus and Procurator
General Donay-Guigue went through
all the dockets and compared all the
documents with surprising results.
They are understood 10 have found
IN many cases that delays were not
respected and that DEGREES we're
granted three days after the parties
had been cited 20 appear before the
Judge in his chambers before the
formal attempt at reconciliation. Pa
pers were arranged so as 10 mislead
the trial judge. Domiciles were not
properly investigated. Citations were
delivered by process servers in their
own offices instead Of at the domi-
cile of the parties concerned.
Judge Got Money
Upon reading this report, NJ. Bar
thou at once decided that stern dis
culinary measures must be taken.
Those accused intended TO ask for
delay TO enable them 70 prepare their
defense and this will probably be
granted.
Investigation into the case Of NJ.
Chibot revealed that the lawyers in
volved had all handed him money to
speed up the legal machinery and
have it well oiled for their clients.
That only small tips were required
was brought out when some OF the
attorneys admitted having given the
clerk ten francs at q time and never
above forty, making the range of
generosity from about 40 cents 10
$3.50.
II is believed generally in legal cir
cles that Americans who have already
obtained divorces will not be affect
ed by the investigation.

as to whether Hoover is a democrat
or republican.
Declaring that Hoover IL the
greatest humanitarian since Christ"
she launched into praise Of the re-
publican standard bearer, calling him
the savior of starving millions, the
builder Of stronger and better child
hood. and the greatest living Ameri-
can"
Mrs. Griswold concluded her talk
with the statement that ID Is "too
bad the democrats do not see fit to
take their great campaign fund, and
use IL for educational work. placing
1t at the disposal Of Curtis and
Hoover and electing them by ac-
clamation."
Contrasts Candidates
H. L. Chapman Of Harlingen dwelt
at length on what he called ALE
Smith and the Arkansas Traveller"
and declared that Tammany intended
making il a wet and dry issue. He
said the two party leaders are typi-
fled by their campaign songs-"Ale"
Smith by son the Sidewalks of New
York" which he described rs Jazz
which tends to pull msn down." and
Hover by Onward Christian SOL
diers," which he classified a. "Ele-
waiting. soulful" and tending to lift
men up.
J. "A. Skunk Of Harlingen gave an
outline OF the tariff history OF the
two parties, declaring that the repub-
lican party has always stood for pro-
tective tariff. and now that the VAL
ley needs a tariff IL should become
aligned with this party.
He said that the present congress
sional representative Of the 18th dis
triet (John ". Garner had stated TO
his young opponent" (Sid Hardin)
that he (Garner) could not favor a
high tariff because he was bound by
the party caucus. Skunk discounted
the reply Of Hardin that he would
disregard the party caucus and favor
a high tariff. "He would lose stand
ing with his party, and have no
power" he said.
Blackshear Speaks
John T. Lomax OF San Benito. who
was later elected chairman Of the
Hoover club in the county, made q
short statement Ia the audience
pleading for a two party competi-
ton in Texas as being sound business
and making for better government,
and urging the active work Of all

One of the most sustained attacks
on the standard bearer Of the demo-
Gratis and "Tammany HALL" was next
launched into by w. r. Blackshear
Of Brownsville. who styled himself

figures and documents ct length
telling of alleged corruption of Tam
