Mexican army officer, here in 1922.
The charge was dismissed on motion

the staying Of General Blsnco and
Colonel Aurelio Martinez, whose
bodies were found in the Rio Gran
de. Walker was reported In Mexico.
While 'insufficiency OF evidence
was the technical reason for the
dismissal Of the charge, Walls made
It clear the action OF the United

diplomatic immunity to General
Plutarco Elias Gales, whom he
threatened to arrest on q consplr-

why should L prosecute American

The district attorney also declared
he had no intention OF resigning,
which had been suggested In some
uuaxters as one way to clarity the
situation resulting from the closing
or the consulate.
Several meetings OF business men
have been held and the case dis
cussed. Action of the Mexican
government has greatly interferred
with the expectation OF goods and

over the loss.to Laredo incurred by
the closing OF the consular office
there. the Brownsville Chamber Of
Commerce. since the port has been
closed there. Is taking active steps
to invite trade through Brownsville
and Matamcros.
These were the words Thursday
afternoon Of G. e. Richardson,
secretary, who added that the
Matamoros Chamber OF Commerce
is joining with the Brownsville
chamber in thi move.
Letters OF invitation have been
written to business men and job
bers or Laredo TO the effect that
every attention possible will be
given TO their shipments through
MatamoroS and Brownsville. and
inviting them to make this their
port Of trade.
Letters Written
Similar letters have been written
TO the Chamber or Commerce nc
Monterrey, and letters have also
been written TO all interested rail-
way officials.
Should the Laredo consulate re-
main closed It viii mean that
Brownsville shipping and trade
facilities will have 10 be materially
enlarged. and II Is said that II will
mean the coming Of many brokers
and customs people.
It Is conservatively estimated that
$4,000 worth OF business goes
through the Laredo port daily,
which pours into the customs and
brokers hands something like $40
600 daily. The attitude OF the
Brownsville Chamber OF Commerce
is that while Laredo would be very
unfortunate TO lose that business.
that Brownsville Is the natural port
for It to flow through.
Railways May Result
