In Most Cases,' Same Ar

Than in Ciudad Juarez.
DIFFERENT ON
'CANADIAN BORDER
A narrow strip of -water separates
Windsor, Can., ana Detroit, Mich., the
same as with the two sister cities of
the southern border. Juarez and El
?aso. But only so is there similarity
Different peoples step daily over the
International lines, and varying indus
trial and commercial conditions pre
vail. But both El Faso and tDetroit are in
the United States, and for fiiat .reason
suffer' from the alleged cruelty of the
trust controled food markets, the big
trusts and all the little-brother trusts.
In this day of high prices for almost
everything worth having there has been
much written and said about the cause
of it all. Statistics have filled the pages
of eyery magazine, and newspapers
have carried bulky reports of officials,
Interviews with business men, howls
from consumers. Tet nobody has found
the real cause of it all and so the wise
ones say that there are causes, many
and complex.
.Some Statistics.
Statistics often are useless things,
often giving unfair Impression.' And
yet they are all that may be relied
upon. The Herald has compiled some
simple and wide ranged figures on
prices In Juarez and El Paso, adding
them ' to matter drawn ,up in the two
sister cities of the north, Detroit and
"Windsor., Nearly everything is cheaper
in the' Canadian city. But not so in
Juarez. Living, from food stuffs to
rent, in many ways Is more dear In
Juarez than Inhe Texas city.
The Detroit-Canadian figures were
drawn up to show the Americans what
the awful trusts have done to the "home
of the free." Tet, there are no trust!
in Mexico and still pripes are high. It
is very confusing.

THE BIG SMOKE
OCCURS TONIGHT
Today is a national holiday in this,
the capital of the great southwest.
The Chicago club, of tne American
league, affectionately called the "White
Sox wherever baseball Is known, ar
rived on the Golden'-State limited today
at 12:40, a fast team on a fast train.
Thy came from Phoenix, where they
played the Phoenicians Tuesday, and
will remain here until the Texas &
Pacific train beats it for the east Thurs
day evening. --
Hugh Duffy, the -new Sox manager,
was riding herd on the outfit when it
arrived in El Paso from the Arizona
desert country. Comiskey had been
called back to Chicago.
But there are a sufficient number of
celebrities among the Sox squad to
make a Roman holiday with some to
spare. "Large" Ed"Walsh, touted by
Ted Sullivan as the greatest mouna
worker in the game when he is right;
"Doc" "White, the tooth carpenter of
State street, who quits the club regu
larly each year to pull molers, but
she,ws up in uniform when the grass
gets green on the south side park; Ed
Smith, who pitched here last year, and
others, many others.
The, Correspondents.
Then there are the "war correspond
ents." Hugh Fullerton, Hugh Keough,
George Rice names that are familiar
to baseball readers: Fullerton is be
ginning his 15th season as a baseball
writer. In addition to his work as spec
ial correspondent for the Chicago Exam
iner, his stories of the Sox trip are
being syndicated by the Hearst papers.
He also writes a series of baseball ar
ticles for the American magazine.
'"Hugh E. Keough, who writes for the
Chicago Tribune under the name of "By
Hek," Is also with the Sox. covering
the game for the "Trib." Keough is
Scotch rScotch of the Harry LaYider
brand.
George Rice Chicago News is the
third of the triumvirate of scribes. This
is his third consecutive appearance in
El Paso. He was- here- forvthe' ex--
tended visit of one hour in 1908 -wherii
the Sox hesitated at the union station
on their way from California to the At
lantic coast. Rice is one of the -steady
boys like Tom Andrews. It Is no trick
to balance a dollar, providing one has
the necessary iron man, on George's
wrist while he is writing his copy, he
is that conservative.
Bill Bailey, the man'of popular song
fame, who was the original of the "Bill".
Bailey tune, Is also with the "White Sox I

Comiskey's Liberality.
An El Pasoan who attended the world
championship games between the Tigers
and the Cubs said while he was there
that a charity association sent 50 tickets
to Chas. Comiskea, manager of the Chi
cago White Sox, asking him to take
some of them. Comiskey send a check
for the 50 and another check .saying
'Just tear up 50 more." '

So it must be altered someway, for instance, like this: It wns not cold in EI Paso yesterday and this morning;

Feed Them on Rice, Says
Freudenthal Did Races
Bring Criminals Here?
THE SMELTER
CAR EXTENSION
There are more prisoners 'in the El
Paso county jail than in the jails of
the most densely populated counties of
Texas, according to a statement made
to the county commissioners by sheriff
Hall Tuesday afternoon. There are
from 90 to 150 prisoners in the jail at
all times, and .the average dally num
ber is conservatively given at 95. while
in Houston the average is 90 per day,
and at San Antonio 75.
T jitt&rc -frnm fill nfffofnlc nf tiaca
jails were presented by the local sher-
hi. in coiiniitrtiiuii wiLii u. jjei-iuun zor
additional jail guard during the day
svatch, because the jail has Increased
in size, and there are now 121 prisoners
confined there. '
Hall also said that other counties al
low the sheriffs 45 cents per day for
each prisoner, while he is allowed only
30 cents.
Commissioner Freudenthal said: "That
is'not a good showing for El Paso coun
ty, but as far as the food goes, you
can buy 100 pounds of rice for $5, and
feed them that."
"I wish I could,." said the sheriff.
"I am paying $S."
"You could make money on the Chi
nese by feeding them o . cents worth
of rice a day," said judge Es'lar.
Hall then explained that there are
many prisoners held here who are want
ed in, other parts of the staze, and com
missioner Smith said: "The Herald say?
the races brought 4he criminals."
Eylar said: "Oh, it was the same last
year," to which Smith replied: "Yes, it
is the same every year at this season."
Hall got the extra guard at $60 a
month.
To Condemn Land for Car Line.
R. F- Burges, representing the ce
ment company, said that if the counts'
should become entangled in any civil
suit in connection -with the construction
of the new spur of the electric rallway
from the smelter to the cement plant,
he would represent the county without
cost. Then It was voted to pay Stew
art and Crawford $690 for their one-

The owners 6ntered a written protest
to the effect that the land was worth

"Why Owners Object.
D. Storms, representing Stewart &
