By Raul Hernandez El Paso Times U.S. Magistrate Philip Cole set Lee Chagra bond on a drug charge at $100,000 Wednesday, but a federal judge in Pennsylvania issued an order that will take Chagra to Pittsburgh before he can try again to get out of jail. Chagra, 31, was arrested in El Paso March 17 after a federal indictment in Pennsylvania charged him with conspiring to possess cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute.

The allegations include transporting drugs from the El Paso area to Pennsylvania. Less than an hour after Cole penned the bond order, federal prosecutors in Pittsburgh got their hearing and an order from U.S. District Judge Gustave Diamond to stop the bond action. Chagra's attorney, Joseph "Sib" Abraham who is Chagra's uncle, said his nephew now will have to go through another detention hearing in Pittsburgh to ask that he be allowed to post bond to get out of jail. ti Cole set the bond a day after Assistant U.S.

Attorney Joe Galenski argued Chagra was a risk to flee to avoid prosecution. Galenski couldn't be reached for comment Wednesday. Abraham and Chagra's other attorney, Richard Esper, said jail-house snitches are trying to implicate Chagra in narcotics trafficking to avoid stiff sentences for themselves. Chagra's father, El Paso lawyer Lee Chagra was killed by robbers in 1978. An uncle, Jimmy Chagra, is in prison on a drug conviction.

By Carlos Hamann "i El Paso Times JUAREZ Marta Diaz and her neighbors in the Colonia Moreno have complained about industrial pollution in their neighborhood for months. In December 1993 the Mexican environmental protection agency, PROFE-PA, agreed with them. The office permanently closed down the padlock maquiladora Candados Presto, a subsidiary of Presto Lock Inc. of Garfield, N.J., for polluting Diaz's neighborhood.

But the PROFEPA office in Juarez is in the midst of a major personnel turnover, and Diaz fears it will be too weak to enforce Mexico's federal environmental laws and force Presto to clean up. Ten of PROFEPA's 11 environmental inspectors, including office manager Guadalupe Perez Romero, resigned late last week after being offered a 50 percent pay cut. "We want this building cleaned and razed," Diaz said. "We aren't sure the new inspectors will go along with that."
