plete Facilities
I Installation of complete shop
| equipment, test stands and other
facilities for repair or servicing of
Cd planes will be installed at the
Tnc.isville airport by the Pan
| \ er<- van Airways, Inc., which holds
i' Dis>s air mail contract in Mex
t iCG,.«* ,the statement made Friday
by d3fe?ge Rihl, head of the Mex
ican fines.
- In a conference with the Browns
ville city commission, the head of
the Mexican air lines stated that
/ the Pan-American also would lease
the entire hangar now under con
1 struction at the airport and would
maintain at least two of the tri
motor planes at this port in addi
tion to smaller planes used in the
'Mexican service.
Assurance was extended by the
i dty commission that satisfactory
eases would be drawn, the Pan
American to construct its own
/-;hops, test stands and other facil
ities, and that the lease on the
hangar would be based on the cost
of approximately $31,000. the lease
rate to provide for amortization of
the city’s investment within a cer
tain definite period to be agreed
upon.
Drafting of the leases is expected
to be completed Saturday, Mr. Rihl
to leave Sunday for Mexico City.
Approximately $20,000 will be ex
pended by the Pan-American in
buildings at the airport, and a large
personnel will be employed by the
company here. It is understood the
company will rush work on the
shops. It also maintains a large
shop at Miami. Fla., but this is too
distant to handle the work of the
Mexican line, Rihl said.
According to plans submitted to
B. V. Proctor, architect in charge of
construction at the airport, the
company’s .shop will be 50 by 60 feet
In size, the wash rack 50 by 100 feet
and the test building approximately
12 by 36. The buildings will be
erected under the supervision of the
airport architect.
Assurance also was given by the
eommission that the administration
building would be enlarged to pro
i vide more room for customs and im
migration officials and passengers.
It is understood this will be neces
sary in order to assure internation
alization of the port.
COUNTYWAGES
WAR ON DOGS
i Health Department to Take
Steps To Relieve All
Cities of Menace
The Camercn county health de
partment will issue orders for the
extermination of all stray dogs in
the cities of the county, the Browns
ville city commission was informed
Friday morning by H. B. Galbraith,
!city attorney, who stated that Dr.
! A. B. Cole, head of the county health
department, was preparing a proc
lamation banning stray dogs from
the streets of the cities after Satur
day noon.
' It is understood that officers of
' the sheriff’s department and city
police will be instructed to shoot all
stray dogs. The county, it was stat
ed, could not be held liable.
The action of the county health
department is in compliance with
the request of citizens and officials
of Brownsville and other cities of
the county to aid in eelminimation
of the menace of rabies. Dogs af
flicted with hydrophobia have be
come a menace in all parts of the
county, it was said.
The Brownsville city commission
has sent to San Antonio for a copy
of the ordinance passed by that city
which requires all dogs within the
city limits to be immunized before
licenses are granted. It also pro
vides for a dog pound and pound
master, and owners of dogs can se
cure their animals only after they
have been immunized and the li
cense paid. Under this system the
pound has been made self-support
ing, it was said. Passage of a simi
lar ordinance at an early date Is
contemplated bv th^ city commis
sion, Mayor Cole said. ♦». 2

• A LOVE AND MYSTERY STORY e
(Continued from page four.)
bottom of the curtain, its dusty sole
presented to them, was a boot.
“My God!” muttered Rupert, and
dashed through the curtain.
Charlie followed him. They were
now on the other side of the cur
tain, which, falling back into place,
shut them away from the main
passage, and from the door that
was slightly ajar. The protruding
boot was part of a figure that lay
stretched out on the ground. It
was Brown.
They started at each other, be
wildered and amazed. Below them,
from the bowels of the earth, came
a faint, reverberating sound.
“Boom - boom ! Boom - boom !
BOOM!”
Charlie found his voice. It was
not much of a voice to boast about.
“He’s not—not dead, is he?” he
whispered.
“No—just knocked out, I think,”
Rupert whispered back, his eyes
narrowing. “Here—stand by him
for a few seconds—I’m going along
to the end of this passage. Give
me a match or twTo.”
He disappeared, while Charlie
stooped to examine the recumbent!
figure of a clerk who was tempor
arily oblivious to the world’s many
troubles, and while a half-open
door on the other side of the cur
tain gradually opened wider.
Charlie was not a great thinker,
but sometimes he could think a lit-,
tie. He thought tow of Rupert,
groping his way towards Uae end of
the passage, searching for the per
son who had knocked Brown down,
and he thought also of the position
of Brown. Wasn’t Rupert making
a bloomer to be searching at the
end of the passage?
For Brown’s head was towards
the end of the passage, which
--—--•
meant that he had fallen in that
direction, having been dealt a blow
from the other. Where a prostrate
man’s feet are, there probably stood
that man before he became pros
trate. In which case, Brown had
been standing just on the other
side of the curtain when he had re
ceived his blow, and had toppled
through the curtain afterwards,
leaving one foot to indicate his
calamity. The curtain would have
broken and softened his fall.
“Yes—but nobody was on the
stairs, or tried to pass down as we
came up,” pondered Charlie. “And
there was nobody in the passage at
the top.”
Nobody VISIBLE! Somebody
might have been lurking a little
way up the left-hand passage. Or
he might have slipped into a room
—into the room, for instance, near
est the head of the stairs. The
room with the half-open door.
The door, though Charlie did not
know it, was now wide open.
“Better take a peep.” he decided,
with a shiver. “Heroes only die
once.”
He straightened himself, blew our
his match (since matches reveal
one’s self as well as others), felt for
the curtain, and drew it aside.
A circle of light illuminated the
floor before him. The shaft of
light came from an electric torch
held by somebody in the open door
way. For an instant Charlie could
not distinguish t’ne figure, but as
the circle of light changed its po
sition, flashing now to the stairs
and and then upwards to a staircase
window, he gained a sudden glimpse
of the person who held the torch.

NEW YORK.—Mary Garden ex

opera sooner or later. She is simply
mad about them; intends to make

NEW YORK.—So many women
smoke and so many men like ice
cream sodas that the corner chain

Indians and corner saloons.
BUDAPEST.—Some meal for ten
cents: hors d’oeuvres; boiled beef
and horseradish sauce, baked carp,
roast pork and cabbage, pint of beer
or wine, dessert, cafe noir. Mathias

much of the growth and develop
ment of our country.”
TOLEDO, O.—Mr. and Mrs. Rana
Catesbiana. aristocrats, have been
kidnaped mysteriously. Their dis

logical experimenters. They were
spirited away from their de luxe
tank apartment in a doctors back
yard. Other ordinary frogs were
left behind. Mr. and Mrs. are
valued at $1,000. Each is a foot and
one-half long and weighs three

questioned about the expenditure
of an appropriation of $6,000 which
Governor Long drew in cash to en
tertain the governors’ conference
in New Orleans last November.
His accusers charge he used $1300
of this fund to purchase an auto
mobile, while Seymour Weiss, as
| sistant manager of the Roosevelt
hotel in New Orleans, said the
1 governor spent $6,200 on the visit

Previously garage employes told

state check for $6,000 and paid
$1,300 for it in twenty dollar bills,
I the same denomination in which
: the bank cashed the check and
gave the money to the governor's
: secretary.
Long Pleads
, At the mass meeting Governor
long pleaded for his followers to
; stand by him and not desert him
while he had "his breast against
the sword of his enemies.”
"They are trying to destroy me
i because I struck at the Standard
I Oil company,” he shouted. "They
; are misrepresenting me and are
trying to drive me from office
because I have gone down the line
for the people. Don’t believe them.
I will continue to fight. My head
is bloody, but unbowed.”
