And he was right about il, for
when he wen coolly on with his
speech a moment later, silence was
quickly obtained.
In closing Robinson pleaded for
cooperation from the floor in main

TOLERANCE IS
ROTARY TOPIC
Rev. Crow Makes Plea
For Freedom In
Politics

Tolerance in politics" as in other
phases Of life, was the subject Of a
talk before the Brownsville Rotary
club Wednesday by Rev. o. c. Grow.
pastor of the First Methodist church
Of Brownsville.
Rev. Crow said in these days OF ma
tional political conventions it was
difficult TO arouse interest in any
subject other than politics, following
which he talked inspirationally on
politics as it relates to the individual
and the community.
lit has been said that this is a
government by the people, of the
people, and for the people, but this is
not the case; il is rather a govEn-
ment by the voter, Of the voter. and
for the people" the minister said in
pointing put that only fifteen or
twenty per cent of the people Of the
United States interested themselves
sufficiently in government to vote.
G.. Z. Dodd, r. c. Morris and j.. II.
Batsell all of whom, with II. d. Seago,
have just returned from o fishing
trip to DEVILS river section, spoke
briefly on their trip.

What action will be taken by the
I~ntracoastal Canal association and
the Arroyo Navigation District rel
ative to the report has not been as
c~ertained. but il is probable that an
appeal will be taken. An unfayora-
bic report on the Point Isabel har-
Dor project, which was appealed, re-
suited in a revision of plans and ia
vorable action, proponents of the
coast waterway point out.
The hearing on the intracoastal
canal and Arroyo Colorado waterway
was held BY Col. Schley in Browns
vile in February. General Harry
Taylor. former chief Of the army en-
e%ineers, representing the Valley in
t~erests, and Roy Miller of the Intra-
coastal Canal association represent
inE that organization.
At the annual meeting OF the In
~tracoastal Canal association, held at
Harrington and Brownsville in No
vember, it was pointed out that the
original objective Of the association
was a canal from the Mississippi to
the mouth of the Rio Grande, and
representatives from practically ev-
cry. point along the route pledged
their support
II an appeal is taken it will prob
ably be a joint action by the Intra-
coastal Canal Association and the
Arroyo Navigation district.

Think Leviathan
Mail Was Robbed
During Passage

SOUTHAMPTON, Eng, June a.
Rl-Microscopic examinations Of
the seals of one of the rifled bags
on the Leviathan has confirmed po-
lice in the belief that the original
seals were taken off and substitute
impressions affixed by the thieves.
When the robbery. whose total
may amount TO 100000 was first
discovered. the British police were
of the opinion that the mail bags
had been rifled in New York before
being shipped abroad. This belief
was caused by the fact that the seals
were apparently intact.
Later. however, Scotland Yard
swung to the theory that the rob-
berry took place either on board the
ship or during the transit Of the
mail from Southampton to London.
