"No work—No Stay!"
Such was the edict "homed by MK-"
yor ^n'ram* this afternoon to po-
lice officers, who are ordered to
clear the city of the1* undesirable
element as far as possible, although
he makes It plain i/tymt those who

Tile general rtrder to policeman

ter the search being made for Hal
Tlall, the 32-year-old log hairier,
dairyman and truck grower. ''
Mayor MctSarver's order was rej
dticred to writing, copy being placed
In the hands of all officers and Is
as follows: •
"Due to the crime wave that
seems to be casting a Shadow over
our portion of Texas, I have thought
it wise to ask you to use utmost
care and precaution in our commu-
nity \iti ftiSc5nrftr ftR rill criminal el-
ements who might make their place,
of abode here- during the winter.
There is at this time in the city of
Orange a large element of people
who are idle. Most of these people
are not citizens of Orange but are
classed as drifters or villiurrunt . vag-
abonds. These people appear to be
well dressed ^nd are like "the liliies
of th elteld: they toil not, NQelther
do they spin " I am sure thatxthle
element ..of people do not contribute
anything to the material moral up-
llft^f our community.! A suggestion
Is hereby given to the police t dis-
courage further residence and pres-
ence of these people in our com-
munity. 1 suggest that you Invite
them to work and failing In this, to
please arrest them and bring them
before the, corporation court. You
are to use your own Judgment In
these cases and where the people
are honestly and honorably endeav-
oring to work and cannot find em-
ployment. In my Judgment, they
Khould not be molested."

It appeared probable that Mhe
two schools of thought on pclsotj
centralization would get together
and arrive at some program before
the session adjourned. One pro-
posed sys^m would place entire re -
