VALLEY
A COPY of "The Daily Cosmo
poilun,” Brownsville’s first daily
newspaper, sent to The Herald by
Mrs. C. Decker de Laffargue of Rio
Grande City, lends strength to the
statement "there is nothing new
pnder the sun.”
Printed Nov. 10, 1887, nearly 42
years ago the stories read much
like those of today—except there 3s
nothing said of endurance fliers.
A dispatch from Chicago tells
that the sheriff is preparing a scaf
fold for the execution of “the an
archists,” but fails to tell who the
anarchists are.
Another Chicago dispatch tells of
the famous Palmer House fire there
Nov. 3.
At Navasota, Texas, a wife-poi
eoner is given the death penalty.
A special from St. Louis says
there are to be changes in the
British cabient.
• • •
“The most terrible explosion that
ever happened in a mine occurred
yesterday,” says a story from Butte,
Mont. (Only two were killed, a tame
affair for this day.)
An Austin dispatch says 200 sec
tions of school land in Tom Green
county had been forfeited for non
payment of interest.
At Elmira, N. Y., the conductor
bn a Lehigh Valley road reported
finding the hacked-up body of an
aged man aboard his train. The
arms and legs had been amputated
and the pieces packed in a large
box. He was believed to be a vet
eran of the Civil war who had gone
to Elmira from Gillett, Penn., car
rying $800 of back pension money
he had just received. His wife said
he had gone to purchase a suit of
clothes.
Almost any of these news reports
tnight be duplicated in a newspaper
of today, but here is one that is
different:
From Vinita, I. T. (Indian Terri
tory), came news that the Ameri
can settlers were fleeing with their
movable property from Tahlequah,
the Cherokee capital, in fear of a
civil war breaking out between two
factions of the Indian tribe. Both
factions claimed to have elected a
chief.
• • •
ALL OP THIS news was brought
to The Cosmopolitan by mail and
although the paper was dated Nov.
10 the dispatches were dated back
as far as Oct. 31. most of them
having been written on Nov. 3, just
a week before date of publication.

HERB ARE SOME Brownsville
Items which will interest the old
Cutlers:
The editor of the paper writes:
*We return thanks for an invita
tion to the calico hop of the social
club, which comes off next Mon
day, the 14th, inst. They are the
work of Mr. Maltby and printed
on calico.”
Two bad actors had invaded the
house of Sheriff Brito, “knowing
him to be absent. They broke into
the house, using the most foul
language, drew large knives and
drove Mrs. Brito and the children
into the yard.”
One of the desperadoes was cap
tured later and subdued with the
butt of Sheriff Brito’s gun, accord
ing to the story. The other bad
man escaped across the river.
Other quotations:
“We are sorry to hear that Mr.
Hicks continues seriously ill. Mr.
Wells is expected home on this eve
ning’s train.” (The train from
Point Isabel.)
“A cloudy but not a cold norther
fell on us yesterday.”
“Frank Lancaster says the roads
are just horrible.”
“The river is falling slowly.”
“The schooner Henrietta arrived
.today at Brazos and is at the wharf
at Point Isabel. She brings lumber
for Mr. Cross.”
“The French bark Pensee ar
rived off Brazos at 4 o’clock this
afternoon. She brings some 60 tons
of wines, liquors, etc., for Browns
ville and Matamoros merchants.”
“Yesterday near Rio Grande City
Capt. Schmidt of the rangers cap
tured two men on suspicion of be
ing bandits. One was released but
the other was proved to be of the
gang and is held.”

Georgetown Jury Finds Harry Leahy Sane
SOUTH TEXAN
FACING CHAIR
EARLYFRIDAY
Attorneys Give Notice
Of Appeal Which
May Stay Final Re
sult Until October
GEORGETOWN, T e x.,
July 27. — (/P) — Harry J.
Leahy, condemned to elec
trocution for the murder of
Dr. J. A. Ramsey of Mathis,
tonight lost his fight to es
cape the electric chair
through insanity, when a
jury declared him sane. He
then heard his motion for a
new trial overruled by Judge
J. D, Moore. His attorneys
immediately gave notice of
an appeal to the court of
criminal appeals.
Leahy sat unmoved and appar
ently little interested in the pro
ceedings as the jury and the judge
crumbled the barriers with whicil
he had sought to ward off his exe
cution.
The elderly south Texas cattle
man, who used every recourse of
law for two and one-half years to
evade the electric chair, is sched
uled to die early Friday morning.
That is the date upon which his
last reprieve expires.
Some lawyers doubted whether
the case could be placed before the
court of criminal appeals. That
body is at present in vacation and
it is doubtful whether it could re
view the case before October.
Judge Moore turned Leahy over
to the sheriff with orders to de
liver him to prison authorities, but
it was thought he would be kept
in the jail here, or at Austin until
the result of his appeal is known.
Two Claims
Counsel immediately began ar
guing the motion the time of its
decision was indefinite.
Attorneys for Leahy, under
death sentence for the slaying of
Dr. J. A. Ramsey of Mathis, based
their action on two claims. One
was that Judge J. D. Moore erred
in not quashing the jury because
it was drawn through a commis

Negotiations for settlement of the
wage dispute in the Lancashire cot
ton trade ended in failure today.
The weaver’s amalgamation refus

the employers which lasted through
the week and the latter’s notice of
reduction of wages by 12 1-2 per

Brownsville to Get New
Low* Fire Rate August 1
Effective Aug. 1. Brownsville’s
fire insurance key rate will be
lowered five cents to 16 cents,
giving this city the third lowest
net fire insurance rate in the
state. San Antonio and El Paso
are the only towns with lower net
rates.
The reduction was granted by
the state fire insurance commis
sion due to the recent installa
tion of a standard fire alarm
system and the elimination of
the penalty for not sufficient
paving.
Two factors are taken into con
sideration in arriving at the net
rate. These are the key rate and
the good fire record credit.
Brownsville’s good fire record
credit is 15 per cent.
San Antonio has a key rate of
i li cent§ and a credit of 15 pes
cent. El Paso has a key rate of
15 cents and a credit of 15 per
cent. Dallas has the lowest key
rate in the state. 13 cents, but
has only a six per cent good
record credit. Houston has a
key rate of 19 cents and a credit.
of 12 per cent. Corpus Christi a
key rate of 22 cents and a 15 per
cent credit.
The new reduction will not af
fect insurance policies now in ef
fect. Only policies issued on and
after Aug. 1 will benefit by it.
The last reduction was granted
when a standard building code
wTas adopted. The next possible
steps in obtaining further rate re
ductions would be the erection of
a stand pipe in Victoria Heights
and the elimination of frame
dwellings in the mercantile dis

As 350th Hour Passed
—
ST. LOUIS, July 27.—(J>)—Still resolved to fly their monoplane, “St.
Louis Robin,” until the motor quits, Dale Jackson and Forest O’Brine to
night neared the close of the fifteenth day in the air, and the motor was
showing no signs of “giving in.” At 9:17 p. m. they had been up 350 hours.
The fliers were jubilant over having conquered their nearest rival, the
Houston, Texas, endurance plane, j
“Billion Dollar City,” which was
forced down this morning, but this
appeared to spur them on rather
than to tempt them to land.
One of the largest crowds that
has gathered at Lambert-St. Louis
field since the fliers broke the rec
ord of the “Angeleno” last Tuesday
watched the plane circle gracefully
above the airport tonight. Special
traffic and policing arrangements
were made for what is expected to
be a record crowd tomorrow.
If they are still up tomorrow. It
will be their third Sunday for Jack
son and O’Brine in the air above
the field.
In a note dropped from the plane
today, the fliers said:
“We are sorry we are keeping the
people of St. Louis waiting so long,
but we are trying to put the record
where the people of St. Louis w'ill
>be proud of it for some time—same
as ‘Spirit of St. Louis,’ which will
always stand. May your patience
be fully rewarded.”

DALLAS, Tex., July 27.—(fP)—
A lull, if not a complete cessa

the Dallas police department
since the suspension of two mem

\ operator,

with what has taken place,”
Graves said, “but at the insist
ence of the mayor and other city
commissioners I consented to re
instate the officers.”
Regarding his encounter with
Reid, the commissioner told the
corporation judge:
“I want to pay a fine. I struck
the man. I don’t want to pay the
minimum fine, either; I think the
beating 1 gave him was worth
more.”
The fight, in which Reid lost
three of his teeth, was said to
have resulted from remarks made
by the former radio operator
regarding the suspension of Far
row and Higgins.

Application of the Arroyo''
Colorado Navigation district!
for permission to cut a
channel through Padre Is
land to the Gulf of Mexico i
opposite the mouth of the
arroyo has been disapprov-j
ed by the United States^
board of army engineers.
Information to this effect*
was contained in a telegram
sent Saturday from Wash
ington by Maj. Gen. Edgar,
Jadwin, chief of the army1
engineers.
The application was denied on -
the grounds that another cut ?
through Padre Island would weaken <j
tidal and wind forces at Brazosj
Santiago and increase the cost of ?
maintenance of a channel at that,
point. j
The Arroyo Navigation District,
was notified the application had
been disapproved on July 8, ac-1
cording to Gen. Jadwin.
The telegram from Gen. Jadwin

Brazos Santiago and increase cost of
channel maintenance at that point."

The Herald Saturday afternoon in
another telegram that the permit
had been denied.
Timmons wired:
- “The war department stated to
day that it had disapproved the
application of the Harlingen Navi
gation district to cut Padre Island.
“The board of engineers fceld that
to open up another cut through the

The Arroyo Colorado Navigation
district was originally formed to cut
a channel from a point in the ar-j

road bridge down that stream wherei
it would have joined the proposed'
intracoastal canal. •
The petition under which the dis-!

A bond issue of $500,000 was voted
