PARIS DIVORCE
MILL’S DIZZY
GRIND TO HALT
American Cases Found
To Ignore Require-
ments of Law; U. S.
Caused Inquiry
— *
l*ARIS July 10.—(AV-The divorce
null of Pari* in the future will grind
■lowly for Americans.
The hand of Louis Barthou minis-
ter of justice hes fallen heavily on
those who have been making the
wheels of the divorce court revolve
with dirty rapidity for their Ameri-
can clients. Seven lawyers and two
process servers are to appear before
a civil tribunal sitting as a disci-
plinary court on July 21. Recommen-
dations of this court will be placed
before the bar association and judges
of the appellate court for action. M.
Chibot. a court clerk will be tried
on July 23.
Judge Grenet who is alleged to
have been altogether too easy going
and lacking in perspicacity is to ap-
pear before the council of magis-
trates next October and they will
decide th# penalty to be inflicted
upon him. In his court 142 of the
167 American divorce cases heard in
Paris last year wera tried.
U. S. Started Move
It ia understood that Washington
drew the French foreign office’s at-
tention to the intense publicity at-
tending Pans divorces. Some time
ago strict injunctions were issued to
all concerned to see that the utmost
requirements of the law were ful-
filled.
All however seemed to no avail
for divorces at least as far as Paris
w-as concerned continued to be turn-
ed out with the same speed. Finally
five months ago M. Barthou request-
ed the appellate court to conduct an
exhaustive and disereet investigation.
President Dreyfus and Procurator
General Donay-Guigue went through
all the dockets and compared all the
documents with surprising results.
They are understood to have found
in many cases that delays were not
respected end that decrees were
granted three days after the parties
had been cited to appear before the
judge in hia chambers before the
formal attempt at reconciliation. Pa-
per* were arranged so as to mislead
the trial judge. Domiciles were not
properly investigated. Citations were
delivered by process servers in their
own offices instead of at the domi-
cile of the parties concerned.
Judge Got Money
Upon reading this report M Bar-
thou at onca decided that stern dis-
ciplinary measures must be taken.
Those accused intended to ask for
delay to enable them to prepare their
defense and this wilt probably be
granted.
Investigation into the case of M.
Chibot revealed that the lawyers in-
volved had all handed him money to
speed up the 'legal machinery and
have it well oiled for their clients.
That only small tips were required
was brought out when some of the
attorneys admitted having given the
clerk ten francs at a time and never
above forty making the range of
generosity from about 40 cents to
$1.60.
It is believed generally in legal cir-
cles that Americans who have already-
obtained divorces will not be affect-
ed by the investigation.
Find Small Girl
Abandoned on
Streets of City
A 6-year-old girl abandoned on
the streets of Brownsville on the
night of June 5. is being eared for
at the Charity Home where she was
takan by city police after they
found the child crying from hunger
and exposure.
An investigation started by the
county attorney disclosed that the
child's mother resides in Mission;
that she was brought to Brownsville
by her stepfather and left on the
streets of the city. An arrest on an
abandonment charge may be made.
The girl small for b*r age. s
mere baby spent Thursday night
roaming the streets of the city ter-
rified and lonely. When picked up
by officers the following morning
*he was huddled on a street co-ner
sobbing and erring for her mother.
It was several hours after the offi-
cers had carried her to the eharitv
home before her terror began to
abate and she realised that she was
surrounded by friends who finally
quieted her fea-s and induced her
to tell her story.

Coffee Again Asks
Sportsmen to Not
Kil! White Wings
i J. B. Coffef. state deputy seme
fish and oyster commissioner has
again appealed to the hunters of
i Cameron county to refrain from
hunting “white wings” until after
August 1 the approximate end of the
nesting season.
Although the season opened July 1
Coffee declared that the birds have
not completed nesting and that the
killing of them will cause the young
to starve.
“If there are some hunters who are
determined to shoot them at this
time.” Coffee said. “I ask that they
get at least a mile away from the
brush where the birds have nested.
The mother bird doesn't generally
range that far from her young. The
male bird does however but killing
him is not half as bad as killing the
female which is now in the midst of
raising her young.”
Coffee intimated that the next leg-
islature would be requested to close
the season on these birds for from
two to five years.
“If this is not done.” he said “the
present law will at least be changed
to open the season not earlier than
j August 1."

(Continued tt*m page one)
another would purify the etate and
improve its power nationally Mr.
Creager declared.
Lands Republicans
He characterized the part which
Texas played at the Houston con-
vention as a "humiliating one" and
said that "Tammany would not
naved dared to ride rough shod”
over Texas if the state had bean in
She doubtful column. At this point
fie classified the Tammany leaders
as "cynical sleek cigar chewing
bosses of the East Side.”
In appealing for a breakdown of
partisanship he said that he did not
believe a man should vote for his
party where the principles of the
man at the head of it are at variance
with his own.
And he declared the "name repub-
lican is associated with national
prosperity and safe and sane hand-
ling of public affairs.”
Mr. Creager touched on the tariff
matter stating that Texas needs a
tariff and declaring that she must
get it from the republican party.
“We have spent millions on flood
control” he said "but the flood of
foreign products is by far a greater
menace to us than the floods of the
Rio Grande.”
Says Texas Dry
The speaker then launched into
his most sustained attack on the
democratc party standard bearer
and his supporters on the prohibi-
tion question.
“Texas is a dry state” Mr. Crea-
ger said. “She knows and fears the
evils of legalized liquor traffic. In
the minds of mothers and fathers
of Texas the issue of liquor tran-
scends any party lines. It rises
above partisanship and party affil-
iation. On this question we have a
clear cut issue.”
He then told of the dry planks in
both national platforms and of the
repeated wet stand of Governor
Smith and scoffed at the suggestion
that Smith as president would have
no power to bring back liquor. In
pasting he called the democratic
platform and the selection of the
nominee on that platform the "most
remarkable straddle.” He mention
ed the president as the “most power-
ful official in the world.” and told
of the president’s appointive power.
tki!tii't wf‘ no diseraca to
Smith to believe that were he pres-
ident. he would appoint to federal
tenches and to federal prohibition
and other offices men who felt
ti'ons ** h* d°ei °n public du«s-
Mrs. Griswold Talks
Mr. Cresger concluded his address
by tracing the history of the two
candidates declaring that A1 Smith
has never had any experience even
in national affairs while Hoover has
had international and national ex-
perience W'hich "qualify him as prob-
ably no other American was ever
qualified * to hold the office of pres-
ident. r
With an impassioned plea for
purity in governmental affairs Mrs
Florence Griswold of San Antonio
national committee* oman urged sup-
port of Hoover as the "greatest hu-
manitarian since Christ.”
She called Smith the "bramble
bush and in telling of the events
at Houston and since said “Leva and
tone Johnson are like children cry-
ing in the wilderness.”
Upholds Bolters
Mrs. Griswold declared in Tronnec-
tion with recent attempts to keep the
name of alleged party bolters off the
ticket in some counties of Texas that
it is “foolish to believe men can hold
party lines by blacklisting.” She also
commented on the "ignorance” of
Mrs. H. H. Sevier of Austin in regard
to doubt expressed by Mrs. Sevier
.mBMUKrarnanmaiiRi
as to whether Hoover ia a democrat
or republican.
Declaring that Hoover is the
“greatest humanitarian since Christ"
she launched into praise of the re-
publican standard bearer calling him
the “savior of starving millions the
builder of stronger and better child-
hood. and the greatest living Ameri-
can.”
Mrs. Griswold concluded her talk
with the statement that it is “too ■
bad the democrats do not see fit to
take their great campaign fund and
use it for educational work placing
it at the disposal of Curtis and
Hoover and electing them by ac-
clamation.”
Contrasts Candidates
H. L. Chapman of Harlingen dwelt
at length on what he called “Ale
Smith and the Arkansas Traveler”
and declared that Tammany intended
making it a wet and dry issue. He
said the two party leaders are typi-
fied by their campaign songs—“Ale”
Smith by “On the Sidewalks of New
York” which he described as “Jazz
which tends to pull mgn down” and
Hover by “Onward Christian Sol-
diers” which he classified as “Ele-
vating soulful” and tending to lift
men up.
J. A. Shunk of Harlingen gave an
outline of the tariff history of the
two parties declaring that the repub-
lican party has always stood for pro-
tective tariff and now that the Val-
ley needs a tariff it should become
aligned with this party.
He said that the present congres-
sional representative of the 15th dis-
trict (John N. Garner) had stated to
his “young opponent” (Sid Hardin)
that he (Garner) could not favor a
high tariff because he was bound by
the party caucus. Shunk discounted
the reply of Hardin that he would
disregard the party caucus and favor
a high tariff. "He W'ouid lose stand-
ing with his party and have no
power” he said.
Blackshear Speaks
John T. Lomax of San Benito who
was later elected chairman of the
Hoover club in the county made a
short statement to the audience
pleading for a two party competi-
tion in Texas as being sound business
and making for better government
and urging the active work of all
present for Hoover. He was the first
speaker who did not read his speech
One of the most sustained attacks
on the standard bearer of the demo-
crats and “Tammany Hall” was next
launched into by W. R. Blackshear
of Brownsville who styled himself
an “independent democrat.” He cited
figures and documents at length
telling of alleged corruption of Tam-
many Hall in the past and charged
it with similar corruption at the pres-
ent time.
He characterized the Tammany
tigers as office seekers plunderers
and voiced actual fear for the safety
of public buildings libraries and
other assets of the government at
Washington if the Tammany Hall
crowd get in control. He declared
that they would “close the schools
and educational institutions “by per-
mitting liquor and thus depriving
children of their clothes” and would
“close the doors of churches and

Officers Elected
Mr. Blackshear said that he knew
Tammany from first hand that his
brother-in-law is district attorney in
New York and that his hands are
tied in enforcing the liquor law. He
raid that his brother-in-law is a
member of the Tammany organiza-
tion and is one of the few upright
men in the organization.
The remaining speakers on the pro-
gram. ( arlos Watson of Brownsville
and Jesse Dennett chairman of the
county executive committee spoke
briefly as it was aproaching mid-
night and the crowd was rapidly
thinning out. They plead for active
work and solid unity.
Mr. Watson suggested that the
names which had been picked by the
leaders in the Hoover move to be
placed in nomination and elected by
acclamation as officers of the club
and then read the names.
They were John T. Lomax of San
Benito chairman.. Carloa Watson of

lowing district committeemen: La
