MEXICO LABOR
LAW TO HOLD
Government Will Not Re
voke Ruling on Resi
dence of Workers
MEXICO CITY, July 23.—UP)—
The government has decided not tc
cancel its ruling requiring all per
sons working in Mexico to establish
residence within the country. Nu
merous complaints have been re
ceived from persons affected by the
recent enforcement of the order.
MEXICO CITY, July 23.—(/P>—
The national tourist commission
has announced that the Laredo,
Texas, Chamber of Commerce has
been authorized to issue cards for
entry into Mexico to tourists who
wish to visit Mexico for periods less
than six months.
The cards may be issued to any
one living more than 40 miles from
the border, those within the 40
mile zone being permitted to enter
with “local” cards, such as anyone
doing a great deal of business on
both sides of the river carries.
The prviilege of issuing passports
to tourists who desire to visit Mex
ico will be extended to the Erowns
ville Chamber of Commerce and
other similar bodies along the bor
der, the same as has been done at
Laredo G. C. Richardson, manager
of the local body, believes.
If orders to this effect are not
issued within the next few days a
committee of Matamoros and
Browmsville men will get in touch
with the national tourist commis
sion at Mexico City, he said.
Pedro A. Chapa and J. E. Pate,
manager of the bridge at Hidalgo,
returned last week after spending
several days in Mexico City seeking
modification of passport regula
tions. They said they had been as
sured by officials that chambers
of commerce would be permitted to
issue identification cards to tour
ists.
An article in Spanish language
newspapers Tuesday says that Mex
ican officials will demand tha*
United States immigration officials
permit Mexican chambers of com
merce to issue identification cards
on which citizens of that country
will be permitted to visit border
points.

sheriff, and M. R. Hall, county at
torney, both of whom see in it a
means to solve a problem which
daily is becoming more and more
serious,” she continued.
Service stations along all fre
quently traveled highways will be
bannered and given information on
roads and where the driver may ex
pect danger.
“We especially want to direct this
campaign at saving the lives of
little children who often through
ignorance wander into the streets
and are run down. Mothers of the
Valley can and will demand that
merchants employ truck drivers
who are efficient and careful. We
know that a great many of them
never have learned to control a
car in a crisis and many others
physically are unfit to be turned
loose on the highways at the wheel
of a truck or car.
Children Killed
“In this connection, I wish to call;
to the attention of the people re
cent accidents near Raymondville
and McAllen in which children were
killed. In spite of work already
done along this line, the percent
age of children killed when acci
dents could have been avoided con
stantly is growing. It is time we
took concerted action to stop it.”
“Many service bodies throughout
the Valley virtually have pledged
their support to the program of
education and I know that all of
them want to come in.
“In pagan days, parents threw
their children under the wheels of;
the chariot. Are we going to let1
the automobile take the place of
the pagan chariot?”
Support Enlisted
The Valley-wide motorcade, Mrs. I
Woodfin said, will be run as soon
as it can be assembled. Literature, j
which will be an important part of
the campaign, is being preoared
and the support of practically ev
ery publication in the Valley is be
ing enlisted.
"In three or four years, we hope
avoidable accidents in the Valley
will be only unpleasant memories,”
Mrs. Woodfin concluded.
Mrs. Woodfin is the wife of W. T.
i Woodfin, Rio Hondo, who is asso
ciated with newspapers at Los Fres
nos, Santa Maria, Riq Hondo, Ed

PRISON REGIME
AGAIN NORMAL
Defeated Convicts Subside
In Stubbornness Aft
er Rioting
DANNEMORA, N. Y., July 23.—
(TP)—Clinton state prison, known
throughout the underworld as “Si
beria,” today was nearing normal
after the failure yesterday of 1,300
desperate convicts to battle their
way to liberty and after a night
spent under the sleepless eyes of
scores of guards reinforced by 14
state troopers.
The hoots and hisses and rau
cuoas laughter flung by the con
quered prisoners at the guards last
night after they were forced to re
turn to their cells, leaving three of
their fellow rioters dead, had ceased.
In their place was a sullen silence,
or, at most, a guarded grumbling.
Prison, state and county authori
ties sought to determine the back
ground of the riot • hich led to the
simultaneous storming of three
walls by the battalions of desper
adoes yesterday morning.
The state department of correc
tion devoted attention to a report
that the battle had its motive in
the fact that the men had asked for
new potatoes instead of old for their
meals, and wanted a full holiday
in the yards Sunday, requests that
had been refused. They have had
half of Sunday for baseball games,
band concerts, and other forms of
amusement.
Warden Harry M. Kaiser, in a
statement, placed responsibility for
the outbreak on a group of “lifers,”
sent to the prison from other state
penal institutions for discipline.
Clinton was definitely set aside
more than a scpre of years ago as
a “punishment prison” for “tough
guys.’
CAPT. H. L. EARNEST
TRANSFERRED HERE
Capt. Herbert L. Earnest reported
to Fort Brown for duty Monday
afternoon. The captain was ac
companied here by his wife and two
children.
The officer has been stationed
at Leavenworth for several years.
Capt. Earnest is an excellent
horseman and is a graduate of a
French riding school. He is ex
pectcd to materially strengthen the
polo squad here, officers state.

HOWE
SIDELIGHTS
CAPITOL
The most convincing and unusual
portrayal of the colorful life on
board the floating theaters of the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers is con
tained in Universal’s million-dol
lar super production “Show Boat,”
which is now showing at the Capi
tol theater.
The theater was filled with south
ern melodies and negro spirituals,
the latter having an important pait
in the story of “Show Boat,” and
proving a moving musical theve
for the great production. Incluic-n
were many songs specially written
for Ziegfeld’s stage production
“Show Boat,” by Jerome Kern ar.c
which are enjoying wide popularity
at the present time on records, over
radio and in dancing places.
"Show Boat” is a talking picture
adaptation of Edna Ferber’s nest
selling novel of the same name
and concerns the romance of Mag
nolia Hawks, the Show Boat star,
and Gaylord Ravenal, the Missic
sipi river gambler who turns actor.
Maim-. I, I
These roles are played by Lama
La Plante and Joseph Schildkraut.
Both give tremendously realistic
portrayals.
Otis Harlan, as Captain Andy
Hawks and Emily Fitzroy, as Par
thenia Ann Hawks, give outstand
ing characterizeations. Little Jane
La Verne who plays Magnolia as a
child, is an altogether charming lit
tle trouper.
Alma Ruben as Julie, the actress,
who becomes the notorious Hetty
Chilson of Chicago underworld, is
splendid.
