County’s Profit.
County Tax Collector Fred T. Glor
notified the County Auditor today that
he had deposited in the county treas-

tax collections as advance payment.
This means that the county will bene-
fit by several hundred dollars account
of the interest paid on daily balances.
It will be several days before the total
amount of tax collection for January
will be definitely known, the tax col-
lector’s office is still at work on mak-
ing out and forwarding tax receipts
to those who made remittances during
the month of January and the ac-
knowledgment of which could not be
made because of the heavy rush of poll
tax payments at the close of the

Galveston wholesalers dealing in
arms and ammunition are going to be
prepared to take car'e of any orders
for guns or cartridges that come from
Mexico, according to statements made
today to a Tribune reporter. As yet,
however, the local merchants have
taken no steps to distribute any arms
in the war zone. If conditions develop
favorable to such action, agents of the
local firms may be sent to northern
Mexico to take orders, according to
statements made by some of the deal-
ers here.
The recent raising of the embargo
on the shipment of arms from the
United States to Mexico was unexpectd
by the wholesalers and they have not,
as has* New Orleans, collected a supply
available for immediate shipment. The
recent d’evelopments will undoubtedly
result in the shipment of arms and
ammunition to this city, according to
the statements made today by some of
the distributors.
The retailers do not handle arms in
sufficient quantities to warrant them
taking interest in th’e affair, according
to statements made by Cummings &
Sprue today.
P. Lobit of the Galveston Hardware
Company said he had noticed that
large quantities of arms and ammuni-
tion were being shipped from New Or-
leans. and he believes that Galveston
is in as good a location to distribute
arms as that city.
H. A. Black of the Blum Hardware
Company said he was inclined to doubt
the statements of the press dispatches
concerning the shipments of arms from
New Orleans as being exaggerated.
Walker & Smith have taken no notice
of the recent order from Washington
as yet.

Special to The Tribune. "
Austin, Tex., Feb. 5.—In an effort
to solve the marketing problem, Com-
missioner of Agriculture Kone has just
issued a statement addressed to the
presidents and secretaries of the Farm-
ers’ Institutes and Truck Growers asso-
ciations of the state, urging upon them
the necessity of at once calling a meet-
ing of their organizations, to not only
discuss this problem, but to “arrange
to market the farm products of its
members this year through whatever
agencies and in whatever manner it
may be decided will be most likely to
bring best results.”
The commissioner suggests that ar-
rangements be made to ascertain the
acreage and probable production of
all crops and when they will be ready
for sale and in what quantities and
from what shipping points; also the
amount of all other products and at
what time they can be supplied to the
trade.
“When this is done,” says the com-
missioner, “supply me with a detailed
and complete staatement containing all
of the data, keep me informed of con-
dition and time of maturity and’ every
fact that will enable me to help in mar-
keting the products.”

Selection for Control of the Boston and
Maine Railroad.
By Associatea Press.
Washington, Feb. 5.—Louis D. Bran-
deis of Boston probably will be chair-
man of a board of trustees to take
over the Boston and Maine railroad
holdings of the New York New Haven
and Hartford railroad, under the plan
agreed to by Attorney General McRey-
nolds and Chairman Elliott of the
New Haven,
Mr. Brandeis conferred with Attor-
ney General McReynolds today and al-
though no announcement was made at
the department of justice it was under-
stood that he was asked to become
chairman of the trustees. Other trus-
.tees have not been selected and it is
possible that two or four more mem-
bers will be chosen.
Mr. Brandeis has taken a peculiar
interest in the affairs of the New Hav-
en for many years, and is thoroughly
familiar with the details of its acqui-
sition of the Boston and Maine.
Although details of the plan fqr
separating the New Haven from the
Boston and Maine have not been
worked out, the trusteeship would last
for several years, and the stock of the
Boston and Maine, owned by the New
Haven, would gradually be disposed
of to others.
It is not the intention of Attorney
General McReynolds to name the trus-
tees to handle the property, but he does
expect the opportunity to approve any
men chosen by the New Haven.

Following action taken yesterday in
Houston by the state central relief
committee in opening bids for corn to
be supplied to the farmers of the flooded
section of the Brazos and Colorado
River Valleys. H. A. Black, Galveston’s
representative, today announced that
two Galveston grain dealers had been
awarded the contract. The J. Rosen-
baum Grain company and D. F. Newing
are each authorized to furnish 9,000
bushels of corn each, to be shipped im-
mediately to Houston, where is will be
ground and sacked for instant distribu-
tion among the small farmers whose
stock is suffering for lack of. feed. The
bids of the Galveston dealers were
much lower than that of any other
firm. The corn to be supplied is Ar-
gentine corn.
A report which was given some pub-
licity to the effect that no more ef-
forts would be made to raise money
was denied today by Mr. Black. He
said that more money was urgently
needed and that unless it was forth-
coming, the tenants and small farm-
ers in the flooded district would have
to leave their farms. There is some
hope of obtaining a further hearing for
the federal bill by which it was hoped,
to appropriate $200,000 for feed for the
farmers, but this is only a hope. An-
other meeting of the central relief com-
mittee will be held in the near future
but no specific date has been set.

By Associated Press.
Chartres, France, Feb. 5.—The
French aviator Garaix established a
new altitude record with five passen-

Jeff D. Cox, chief deputy game, fish
and oyster commissioner, is in the city
today looking over the conditions of
this section of his department and en-
joying a few days of rest in the Olean-
der City. When seen this morning in
the offices of S. W. Meredith, deputy
game, fish and oyster commissioner for
the Galveston district, Mr. Cox ex-
pressed great pleasure at the manner
in which the gam’e laws have been en-
forced in this section. In fact, he said
that the laws were being enforced in
a gratifying manner throughout the
state.
“The officers of the department have
been performing their duty creditably,”
said Mr. Cox, “ and the people of the
state seem inclined to obey the laws.
The fishermen are coming to realize
that the laws are for their b’enefit and
that they will profit by adherence to
the rules established by the commis-
sion. The laws are as much for the
advantage of the fisherman and the
hunter as they are for the rest ef th©
public.
‘The principal problem in the en-
forcement of the laws applying to fish-
eries. and the thing that must be done
to perpetuate the fishing industry of
the state, is the closing of th'e passes
along’ the coast. There six of these
passes, beginning with Corpus Christi,
the most important, to which the fish
come in large numbers. Sometimes
there are acres of water covered with
redfish or trout coming into these
passes, and if they are allowed to come
in there will never be any difficulty
in having a sufficient fish supply. But
fish are as easily frightened as cattle,
and will stampede just as cattle do.
If they run into a seine as they come
into the pass the fisherman will ge#
all he wants, but the rest of the fish
will becom’e frightened and run out
into the Gulf, where they are lost. The
cely thing to do is to close the passes
against fishermen and allow the fish to
remain along the coast. And we are
progressing along that line. If a fish-
ing boat is found in one of th’e passes,
it is confiscated and burned. In this
manner we will be able to stop the in-
dividual from getting his supply at
the cost of the public. But I find that
the bona fide fisherman is inclined to
follow the dictates of the law.”
Mr. Cox would not discuss the ques-
tion of th’e federal game laws, as to
their effects and enforcement. He will
remain in Galveston for several days.
