'['HE recent change in site of the
type pages of The Herald has
brought several letters of compli-
mentary comment on the change.
They are so nice that The Herald
feels it could be accused of failing
to “blow its own horn” if they were
not published.
The first to arrive was from Fred
M. Herndon publicity secretary of
the San Antonio Chamber of Com-
merce^
“I take this opportunity of com-
plimenting The Herald on the new
equipment recently added and which
has given The Herald a real citified
appearance.
“There has never been anything
the matter with the selection and
'writing of news matter published in
The Herald but the new type faces
and the enlargement to an eight-
column paper has added the general
effect of dressiness which helps
greatly in placing The Herald among
the best small city papers in the
Sooth.
“The Herald is one of the few
papers coming to my desk that I
read religiously and regularly. I
feel that I have almost as many
friends in the Valley an I have in
San Antonio and bv reading The
Herald I ani enabled to keep in
touch with Valley progress and the
welfare of my friends there in both
t of which I am intensely interested.”
L ”
t For the following we arc indebted
0 o Editor Edmund Williams of the
gVeslaco News:
— “The Brownsville Herald is stcp-
SAng out now with eight columns in-
on ead of seven. Congratulations.
68he Herald is the Valley's daily and
getting to be a better paper
F(»ily."

gv S. Deane Wasson president of The
Deane Wasson Company adver-
sing counsellors Houston writes:
~ “Congratulations on the new
nake-up of eight columns for The
_BrownsvilIe Herald. ‘Every day in
•very way The Herald is getting
C>etter and better.'”

1 Under the heading. “Newspaper
Improvement.” The Corpus Christi
Caller which has always evinced a
friendly interest in The Herald as
The Herald has in The Caller says:
“The Brownsville Herald appeared
last Monday greatly altered in ap
pearance having changed from seven
to eight-column form. In a page one
editorial it calls attention to the
new style not hoastingly but Just as
a matter of course.
"This is one of the improvements
made in The Herald since It has been
acquired hy its present publisher.
Others no doubt will follow. The
Caller extends its congratulations.
"Brownsville citizens feel proud
of The Herald and with raascn. It
has kept pace with the development
of Brownsville and the Rio Grande
Delta."
The viewpoint of the advertiser on
the change is outlined in a letter
from J. B. Samuel advertising man-
ager of Edclstein's Brownsville and
MrAllcn:
“I think you are to be congratu-
lated and The Herald highly com-
plimented on the change which you
have made from a seven to an eight-
v column paper. I know from the ad-
vertiser’s standpoint that you will
be able to give better position and
dismay to the advertising and also
Improve the general appearance of
the paper through type arrangement.
“It is certninlv a pleasure to see
this change take effect along with
all the other improvements which you
have made during recent months and
1 am sure you will receive the loyal
support of the advertising fratern-
ity which you so richly deserve.
With best wishes for your continued
success” etc.

We suggest that newspapers which
are interested in conducting a news-
paper poll on the question of prohi-
bition extend the field of balloting
to below the border.
They might as well we should
think. Few people are interested
- in the subject.
A “straw vote" rarely is worth
in results the time it requires to
take it.

Victim Guarded
as Murderer in
School Shooting
• — ' 111 .. —..
(By the Associated Press)
GROVF^TON Texas March 16.—F'rank Johnson tenant
farmer charged with the murder of Homer Gibson at Center
Point 15 miles north of here last Friday night was dragged
from bed in his home near that place last night and shot to
death by unidentified men.
Johnson was under arrest for the slaying of Gibson but
had been so badly cut in the affray at the school house that
he had been left under surveillance at his home until physi-
cians should advise that he was able to be moved. His
inroat nau open oacuy siasneci’
and other wounds inflicted.
Johnson was in bed with his baby
when his slayers burst their way in-
to the room. Realizing what they
rame for he begged them not to kill
him there with the baby according
to reports here. So the men took
hold of his feet and dragged him out
of bed and as he fell on the floor
shot him to death.
Sheriff's guards and friends of
Johnson both had been about the
Johnson residence Monday night and
had been in his room a short time
prior to the killing but he had told
them he could not sleep with them
present and had asked that they leave
him alone. A short time after they
left the party of men that killed him
appeared.
So far as could be learned here
no one recognized the slavers.
The scene of the shooting is al-
most of the line between this. Trin-
ity and Houston counties. In fact
it is believed the trouble that led
to hte killing of both Gibson and
Johnson had its inception in a quar-
rel over whether the Johnson chil
dren were entitled to attend the
school at Tenter Point which is in

State* uttA other power* today deliv-
ered an ultimatum to Chinese factions
demanding that blockade of the port
of Tientsin be ended and all impe-
diment* to harbor and river traffic
be removed by Thursday noon.
The ultimatum signed by signa-
tories of the protocol of 1901 was
hnaded to the commander* of the
forts at Taku and Chinese vessels
outside of Tientsin. The United
States. Great Rritain Japan and
Italy have a dozen or more naval
craft in these waters. The protocol
of 1901 made stipulations concerning
the disarmament of forts at the '
mouth of the Pei river in which
Tientsin is located and also gained 1
an open way to the sea.
The blockade has been preventing
access to Peking from the sea and
recently resulted in Chinese troops
firing upon two Japanese destroyers.

WASHINGTON I). C. March 16.—
Twenty-eight counts on misdemean-

George W. English of the Eastern Il-

a sub-comrpittee which last week
recommended impeachment proceed-

organizations on the matter
and he was endeavoring today*
to get into communication
with W. R. Montgomery of
Edinburg who has b een lead-
ing the efforts in that county.
The recommendation of
Commissioner T. F. Woodlock
against the extension was
made public by the Interstate
Commerce Commission yes-
terday and along with it came
the announcement of a re-
hearing.
Wooolock upheld the contention of
the Missouri Pacific that it is amply
able to take can of greatly increased
business from the Valley. The Mis-
souri Pacific now has a monopoly in
the Valley and bitterly opposed the
Southern Pacific extension. Wood-
lock said his recommendations if
adopted by the commission should not
prejudice the renewal of the applica-
tion if and when changed conditions
demand it.
Throughout his recommendations
and d scussion which cover 15 type-
written pages Woodlock closely fol-
lowed the Missouri Pacific conten-
tions.
"While the sentiment of the Valley
as indicated upon this record was not
unanimous a large majority as
might be expected favored the con-
struction proposed” Commissioner
Woodlock said. "It is worthy of
note however that witnesses who
are resident- in and shippers from
the Valley and who were appearing
in support of the proposal to build
another railroad into the Valley ad-
mitted in the large majority of in-
stances that the service which they
have received since the railroads
serving the Valley have become part
of the Missouri Pacific system has
been first class and this period cov-
ers the last two seasons during which
shipments from the Valley have been
about double that of any preceding

ice were of minor importance and
not impressive.

it was testified that large sums of
money have been expended by it both
in and out of the Valley in order to

ice which the increasing perishable
