lice Armstrong said. mo fights or
disturbances OF any kind were re-
ported"
A record almost as good was
made July 4th, last year, when
Brownsville entertained a large
crowd, and the police blotter
showed only one arrest, and that
for miSdemeanor.
BETWEEN Fort Brown and the
city Of Brownsville there always has
been a close bond Of cooperation.
This was eXemplified in the air
port celebration when every facility
Of the post was placed at the dis
posal Of the celebration committee
by Colonel VIM. T. Johnston.
The Twelfth Cavalry band pro-
vided music, mounted troopers aid
ed in policing the air field; quIr-
tiers at Fort Brown were provided
for many Of the visiting aviators.
Colonel Johnston and every Of
ficer at the post as well as the
enlisted personnel. extended all
possible cooperation, and it was
greatly appreciated by the celebra-
ton committee and the entire city.
FORT BROWN is a n~ever-failing
Standby Of the city, and the sue
cess Of Brownsville celebrations may
IN large measure be ascribed to the
interest and assistance Of Fort
Brown officers and enlisted men.
No request for cooperation has
ever been refused: in fact, such
cooperation Is almost invariably
volunteered before a request can be
made.
Fort Brown officers take as
much interest and pride in the sue
cess of Brownsville as do any Of
the residents Of the city, and the
cooperation extended has proved Of
incalculable value not only in con
nection with celebrations but in
numerous other ways.
CHRISTENING Of the good ship

the features at the airport Sunday
afternoon.
The plane is the property Of the
Texas Air Transport, Inc, and will

Miss Ayliffe Cobolini, daughter

juice symbolizing the Lower Rio
Grande Valley.
The municipal airport will be the
home Of the "City of Brownsville"

STAND ON
COURT STUDIED
Jurists Begin Considering
American Admission In
First Session

GENEVA. March 11=P-The
question of American adhesion Il
n world court of international
Justice was taken up today at the
first meeting of a jurists' commit
Tee which Is to consider revision OF
the statutes of the court.
american hope expressed in Sec
rotary Kellogg's note in February
that the powers of the world court
might be modified through changes
IN the covenant of the league OF
nations In which the United States
Is not a member, was taken UP
soon after the election of Vittorio
SclaloJa, noted Italian iurist, as
president OF the commission. Elihu
Root, American member whose
formula for the accession of the
United States to the court is under
study, declined the honor of the
post.
Sir Cecil Hurst of Great Britain,
presented a memorandum, the gist
of which was that the United
States would specifically be given
the right to resign from the court
any time it desires and the United
States could withdraw if it found
changes made in the league cove
nant not to its liking.
The jurists tackled the American
membership problem at the very
start of the session by having read
both the kellogg note and the Root
formula which MIR. Root explained
briefly along the lines previously
indicated. He voiced his belief that
agreement would be reached on
specific cases as to whether an adj
visory opinion should be asked or
dropped.
On the suggestion of President
Scialoja, the juristS then studied
the Kellogg note with reference to
possible changes in the covenant
and modification in the rules Of the
court. The president then asked
his colleagues whether any way
could be found to give the United
States satisfaction on these points
Sir Cecil replied with the sugges-
ton about the privilege of resigna-
ton being safeguarded. Other

TURN LIBERAL
New Search Law Fails And
Dry Law Penalty Cut;
Open Sunday Movies

ASSOCIATED Press Staff Writer.l

ASSOCIATED frcSS starr WrIter.)
AUSTIN, March 11.-(P-Back
in the days when Texas was agi-
tated oyer the liquor question:" the
4lst legislature could have been
classified as wet" measured by its
attitude toward legislation touch
ing upon prohibition. The record
will show it has been liberal in the
consideration of bills designed to
tighten or loosen dry laws. In fact,
in acting upon measures which were
regal ded is moral in their appli-
cation, the legislature has shown
itself not to be puritanical.
1t has S~teadtaStly refused to
amend the search and seizure law
passed originally to protect the
homes and rights Of the citizens as
guaranteed under the constitution"
in order to make easier the enforce
ment of the prohibition laws. An
effort was made to loosen the law
obtained on information and be-
lief" and while this amendment was
stringently urged by the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and
other dry organizations, the senate
refused TO alter the provisions Of
the original law.
On the other hand, the house has
passed a bill Softening the penalties
for violation Of the Dean Act and
making them adhere more nearly
to the federal statutes prescribing
punishment for attractions of the
dry law. Under its terms the first
offenSe would be a miSdemeanor
instead Of a felony, as at present.
The bill has not been acted on by
the senate, but a favorable vote
! has been indicated by action Of the
criminal Jurisprudence committee
in unanimously favoring its pas
sage.
The Writ bill providing for ex-
communication Of democrats who
failed to vote for the party presi-
dental candidate last November
went through both houses in spite
of the opposition of ultra-drys who
would justify action Of the boilers
in the admitted "wetness" of Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smith of New York,
the nominee.
Further legislation which might
class the present body Of lawmakers
as liberals includes legalizing NOV
ing picture shows on Sunday and
defeat OF the anti-evolution bill.
The only victory which can be
chalked up for the hackers of legis-
lation often referred to q moral"
is the defeat Of the bill which was
said to have been designed to le-
galize horse racing in Texas.
