THE BBOWHSVILLE HERA0ite ill j
By Brownsville Herald rublisliing Co. j favorable to the invasion of the city
by the Bay with a large enthusiastic
delegation and the Herald can not i
doubt that it will be. No better op-
portunity of advertising this city and
Valley to the people of Texas and
Louisiana at least will be offered in
some time.
Large numbers of delegates from
these two States will attend the con- ;
vention and the entire population
of the country contiguous to Corpus :
is expected to flock to that city on j
the days of President Taft's visit. A j
rousing united delegation from this j
"Valley can do advertising work on j
that day alone that will be worth '
hundreds of dollars.
Outside of the advertising Browns-
ville and the Valley are very much
interested in the proceedings of the
convention. The improvement of our
waterways is a subject of great im
portance to this section just now and j
therefore the Valley should be rep- j
resented by its best men in this j
gathering at which important action
regarding the state waterways will 1
undoubtedly be taken i
Gather at the Federal Court room i
tonight then men of Brownsville
and raise your voices in favor of
pending a large delegation to Cor-:
pits Christi next week.

since a diplomatic episode has ex-

night to the statement in which Sec-

noon "announced that he had informed

lucid telegram of virtual resignation
to the President was read and re-
read with the keenest zest. Little
doubt is expressed that Crane's res-
ignation will be accepted by the President.

County Court.
In the County Court Judge John
Bartlett presiding the suit of Al-
bert Billingsly by his father Walter
Billingsly vs. The St. L. B. & M.
Ry. for 19S.40 damages occupied
the attention of the court yesterday
afternoon and most of today.
In his petition the plaintiff alleg-
es that on or about the 4th day of
December 100S he was a passen-
ger on one of defendant's trains
from Placedo to Brownsville and
that the employes of the company
refused to accept his ticket which
he had purchased at Waco Texas
from the ticket agent of the M. K.
& T. road to Brownsville by way
of the St. L. B. w M. Ry. He fur-
ther alleges that the conductor on
said train demanded that the plain-
tiff pay his fare in cash and as plain-
tiff had no money with which to pay
the cash fare the said conductor
threatened to put plaintiff off the
train.
Plaintiff alleges that he was hu-
miliated and disgraced by the acts
and conduct of the-conductor in re-
fusing to take his said ticket and
was compelled to borrow ?S.40 to
pay his fare to Kingsville at which
point another conductor took charge
of the train and accepted and rec-
ognized his said ticket as good and
valid.
The plaintiff is represented by
Judge A. I. Hudson and E. K. Good-
1 rich while the defendants are rep-
resented by Judge Noah Allen.
