COLONISTS TO
SIDE lIP THE IS
CITIZENSHIP
Emil Locke Says They Will
Swear Allegiance to
Mexico.
NO HALT IN PLANS
Men Who Oppose Prohibi-
tion Laws Still Contem-
plate Crossing Border.
American citizens who contemplate
colonization of the Trevino ranch across
the river from Del Rio and Eagle Pass
and the establishment there of a town to
be known as Braunfels and who have
been told that they could do nothing
unless they obey fully the immigration
lans of Mexico are prepared to meet all
legal requirements of that government.
Emil Locke one of the leaders in the col-
onization plan said Monday. Mr. Locke
said that the prospective colonists were
informed when asked to enter the ven-
ture that the Mexican laws require that
they become Mexican citizens before
owning land there and that they re-
nounce the right of appeal to the United
States government in the event of dam-
ages to their proprety.
He said they had accepted these
terms that the colonization project was
going forward satisfactorily with com-
plete understanding with the Mexican
government and that 200 farmers from
this section of Texas have already pur-
chased farms out of the Trevino ranch.
Payment for these farms had been made
and the money is on deposit in San
Antonio banks he said.
Says Belgians Interested.
He also said the colonization project
is not confined to American citizens of
German descent as some seemed to be-
lieve but that American citizens of Bel-
gian extraction and others were inter-
esting themselves in the movement. He
expressed the opinion that probably 250
Belgians from Texas would join thc
colony. Representatives of these Bel-
gians be said are now engaged in a
study of the colonization plan with a
view to entering the colony as land
owners.
Some time ago it was announced by a
Belgian in San Antonio that at least
250 Belgians from the San Antonio dis-
trict would return to their native lands
immediately to escape the drastic prohi-
bition laws of this nation. It is said
the Mexican colony Leing founded on the .
Trevino ranch will be "wet’’ and that it
offers the Belgians the privilege denied ]
THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT.
in America hence that they may turn
to that country rather than to their na-
tive lands. Opposition to existing prohi-
bition laws in America was one of the
factors which led to the colonization
plan iu Mexico.
Says Cabrera no Obstacle.
A dispatch from Mexico City a day or
so ago quoted Minister Cabrera as say-
ing that there could be no colonization
scheme along the border but that all
colonists must come in as immigrants
and become Mexican citizens if they ac-
quired land and that under the laws of
Mexico they must renounce the right
of appeal to the United States govern-
ment in the event of damage to their
property. He said the dispatch quot-
ed. that “colonization schemes near the
American border are dangerous proposi-
tions for Mexico: history might repeat
itself.” His statement apparently does
not exclude immigration to Mexico and
according to Mr. Locke the colonists
who will locate on the Trevino ranch
will be immigrants prepared to observe
all immigration laws of Mexico.
The dispatch expressed the opinion
that the Braunfels colonization scheme
could not prosper as long as Cabrera has
influence with the present administra-
tion. However Mr. Ixieke says such is
not the case as the plan is going forward
with full accord with the Mexican gov-
ernment. • '
To Fay all Debts.
The Trevino ranch is known as thc
San Carlos Hacienda and is situated
in the state of Coahuila. Lorenzo Gon-
zles Trevino is owner of the land al-
though it is known that the Mexican
government during the Diaz admiustra-
tiou and also under Madero made loans
on the property. These loans run into
the millions of pesos. Mr. Locke said
his interests are well informed of the
debt on the land and other matters con-
cerning it. This debt will be paid when
the colony is finally settled.
There was a report iu San Antouio
Monday that New York interests are
also turning their eyes toward Mexico
with a view to a colonization scheme
but this report lacked verification.

FIGHT TO KEEP
SURPLUSS™
Chicago Interests Had Sent
Check for $87906.50
But Plan Fails.
PEOPLE HERE BENEFIT
Army Store Will Be Dis-
tributed in Southwest
Texas.
After a check for .<87906.50 had becu
turned over to Col. M. R. Hilgard chief
quartermaster of the Southern Depart-
ment in payment for the 1006000
pounds of surplus sugar at Fort Sam
Houston ordered shipped to Chicago for
distribution among packers candy
manufacturers and otucr consignees
word came from Washington Monday
night that thc United States Sugar
Equalization Board had rescinded this
order and issued new instructions for
the supply to be held here to meet the
acute sugar shortage in South Texas.
This action was the direct result oi
vigorous protests sent to administra-
tion officials by wholesale grocers and
the Chamber of Commerce against sale
of the sugar to Chicago interests when
it was badly needed in this section. The
jobbers carried their case direct to
President Wilson and other messages
were sent to Texas representatives iu
Washington strongly urging that the in-
tended shipment be delayed pending an
investigation of the situation.
Prepared to Pay for Sugar.
In an effort to clinch their pur-
chase Chicago interests made arrange-
ments Monday to pay for the sugar or-
dered delivered to them by the Equaliza-
tion Board. A check covering the big
supply was given to Colonel Hilgard by
the local sugar committeeman. Later in
the dey announcement was made in
Washington by Senator Culberson that
the Equalization Board had reversed
its original decision and ordered the
sugar held in San Antonio.
Colonel Hilgard had not been pffi-
cially advised Tuesday morning regard-
ing the final developmeut in the sugar
ease. He was still holding the check
for $87006.30 and also holding the su-
gar. It is expected that he will turn
back the check as soon as official or-
ders are received on the subject.
Information regarding the successful
outcome of the fight started by jobber*
and the Chamber of Commerce to pre-
vent the sugar from leaving Texas was
contained in a telegram to Senator Cul-
berson iu Washington from the Sugar
Equalization Board at New York. It
was worded as follows:
Text of Telegram.
"Your telegram received. Have gov-
ernment sugar at San Antouio amount-
ing to 1000000 pounds. Will not be
alloted to Chicago. Are reserving same
for distribution adjacent to San An-
tonio. Can you suggest reliable party
to make a fair aud equal distribution of
this sugar where most urgently need-
ed ?”
Senator Culberson immediately trans-
mitted this message to thc Chamber of
-Commerce with the request that the
name of a man be furnished to serve as
allocator for thc sugar iu accordance
with the desire of the Equalization ’
Board.
A meeting of the board of directors
will be held Tuesday afternoon at which
choice of a man for the position will be
made. The name will be sent to Senn- !
tor Culberson who in turn will trans- ;
mit it to the Equalization Board and >
that body will make the appointment.
Distribution of the sugar will be en-
tirely lin’d r direction of the appointee |
according to John B. Carrington of the
Chamber of Commence. Mr. Carring- I
ton said distribution would probably be 1
based on war-time records covering dis- I
tributiou and consumption in this ter- |
ritory.
TO WELCOME SECOND
Fighting I nit to Be Given Reception oq
Arrival Here.
The poubility of staging a welcoming
reception for the Second Division upon
its arrival at Camp Jravis the end of
this week will be discussed at a meet-
ing of women called for Tuesday after-
noon at the Chamber of Commerce. Mrs.
Violet Haynes issued the call but
stated it was solely for the puriwse of
getting the women together and that j
an effort was being made to particular
ly reach all the patriotic and war work |
societies that they might take the lead
in arranging for the proposed reception
to accord the division a hospitable w<l
come to their permanent station.
