Houston Post Special.
BEAUMONT, Texas, April 30.—
The twenty-fourth annual convention
of the Texas Association of Baking
Industry held its final session here
Wednesday, closing its business with
the election of officers and the choos-
ing of the next convention city. Fort
Worth was selected as the conven-
tion city in 1925.
The officers elected inclnded Her-
bert J. Schott, Houston, president;
George Schepps, Dallas, vice presi-
dent; William Collmorgen, Lufkin,
treasurer, William Schnick, Meau-
mont, governor to represent the
State body at the national meet.
The executive committee, of
•which Schnick automatically becomes
chairman, due to his passing presi-
dential office, will consist of V. B.
Kiley, Wichita Falls: Hugo Young,
Houston; Paul Fuqua. Dallas, and
Jeff Fisher, Waco. The secretary-
ship, made vacant by the election of
George Schepps as vice president, will
be filled by appointment of the exec-
utive committee.
The morning session included sev-
eral talks and a lively discussion on
the part of delegates, over the vari-
ous points brought up in the
speeches. Amoni| the speakers were
Ellis Bnnnt of New York, who dis-
cussed "< "tikes"; "Proper Fermenta-
tion and Dough Handling," by William
Temple of the Fleischmann Yeast
company; '"Milk," by Joe Iirown, and
several impromptu talks.
SENATE APPROVES
IE TAX COT
(Cont'd from Pg. 1.)
who, like their group in the house,
hold the balance of power.
While th»» surtax schedule proposed
by Senator McCormick would carry
■ maximum rate of 87 per cent, this
would apply only to incomes of $500,-
0OO nnd over and the rates on the
other brackets are only slightly above
those in the Mellon plan.
Vote to Show Lineup.
The vote on the treasury proposal
to limit deductions in relation to tax
exempt security in incomes is ex-
pected to show fairly definitely the
lineup of the senate on the constitu-
tional amendment plan to prohibit
the issuance of tax exempt securi-
ties.
While Senators Reed and Glass in-
sisted the proposition would not alter
the value of other securities or af-
fect them at all. Senator Simmons,
North Carolina, ranking democrat on
the finance committee, and Fletcher,
Florida, argued it would destrov the
value of farm loan bonds particularly.
Senator Reed s*!d. however, lie
would propose an amendment to the
bill to make the income from federal,
State and municipal bonds hereafter
issued taxable.
Vials of Poison Found
In Suspect's Golf Bag
Associated Press Report.
WH1TK PLAINS, N. Y.. April 30.
Vials of bichloride of mercury have
been found in a golf bag which Clar-
ence O. Baring checked at the Grand
Central station in New York five
days ago. District Attorney Rowland
said today. Baring is awaiting trial
on an indictment charging him with
the attempted murder of his wife by
rutting poison and disease germs in
er food.
Although he asserted that analysis
had established the poisonous con-
tents of the vials, Mr. Rowland or-
dered the golf bags seized for further
examination here tomorrow.
Process servers continued their
fruitless search for Miss Mildred E.
Beam, teacher of physical culture at
Elizabeth, N. J., from whom Baring,
according to the authorities, "tried
to get away" after n friendship of
three and one-hnlf years following a
casual meeting in New York.

tremendous sales record of more

which has been built up by the
Black and White Beauty Creations
since they were first Introduced
five years ago, Is overwhelming
proof of th«lr reliability.
The Cleansing Cream cleans the
pores of all accumulation of pow-
der, dust and grease. The soap
cleans the surface without robbing
the skin of Its natural oils, which
It must have to keep It smooth and
soft. The Peroxide Cream protects
the skin and the pores from wind,
sun and dust, and keeps the face
powder looking natural for hours,
without coming in contact with the
•kin. The Face Powder is of such
fine texture, and so exquisite in its
fragrance of "Incense of Flowers"
that it is regarded as the highest
attainment in complexion finish.

liberal packages at 25c and 60c.

M'CRAY LEAVES
F0H10-YEARTE
(Cont'd from Pg. 1.)
Cray for his conduct while in office.
The judge's remarks failed to shake
the prisoner's placidity except for a
fleeting moment of nervousness when
tne words that were to decide hi*
fate seemed about forthcoming.
Criticising the state courts for their
failure to convict McCray when he
was on trial for embezzlement and
larceny Judge Anderson declared it
was evident McCray had committed
"plain perjury," had forged notes and
committed other felonies and escaped
unpunished McCray, he said, had
violated the law many times and had
equally as many opportunities to re-
pent. He declared he had never seen
a man arraigned in his court who had
admitted as many felonies and on
whom as many had been proven.
Judge Anderson then imposed the
maximum sentence of five years im-
prisonment and $1000 fine on each of
the thirteen counts of the indictment
under which McCray was convicted.
He provided, however, that the sen-
tences run cumulatively only until
thev reach 10 years imprisonment and
$l(»i>00 fine.
1 laving been sentenced McCray was
taken through the crowds to the Uni-
ted States marshal's office where he
remained until taken to the train.
Farewell was said to his family at
the governor's mansion last night.
Mrs. McCray and her son and daugh-
ter, George and Marian, left the man-
sion today and went to the home of
another daughter, Mrs. William P.
Evans, with whom they will make
their home temporarily.
Although McCray is 50 years old
and facing a sentence of 10 years, he
declares he hopes to live among In-
diana people again.
"I am coming back," he said before
leaving. *'I hope to live .among Indi-
ana people again. I could not have
endured the recent tribulations of
my life without strength received
from a higher than human power and
with that strength I expect to go
through the days that are just ahead.'
State De Molays Meet

Associated Press Report.
ENID, Okla.. April 30.—More than
one-third of the 1500 delegates ex-
pected to attend the State convention
of Order of De Molay had arrived
here tonight. The convention opens
tomorrow and ends Saturday night.

ENID. Okla., April 30.—An an-

House Considers Change
In Diplomatic Service
Associated Press Report.
WASHINGTON. April 30.—The
house today took up the Rogers bill
to reorganize the diplomatic and con-
sular services. Consideration was
completed but a vote on passage went
over until tomorrow, no amendments
of importance being adopted.
Censors In Row
Over Red Dress;
Estelle Ponders
(Cont'd from Pg. 1.)
H. Eggert, secretary of the censor
board, or whether to continue ex-
pressing her art a part of the time
in the briefest of pink beeveedees on
the assurance of City Manager Claude
Belk that it will be all right.
Meanwhile also Mrs. Kggert was
looking for the city manager Wednes-
day afternoon to demand an explana-
tion of why he should set aside her
rulings without even consulting with
her about it—and things generally
were in one of those muddles calcu-
lated to depress a censor at the end
of a hard day's work.
There is no readily acceptable rec-
ord of just where Mrs. Eggert and
Mr. Belk sat when they viewed the
act of Summers and Hunt, but any-
how. they didn't see it the same way,
Mrs. Eggert went to the Majestic
Tuesday afternoon. She watched
Miss Hunt change from a colonial cos-
tume to a jazz ball gown without
bothering about running down to the
dressing room; she watched her peep
into her partner's shirt bosom with
the explanation that "I've been want-
ing to do this for a long time—-it a the
only way we girls can find out
things;" she listened to a large
amount of other patter—and then
Mrs. Eggert went back to the _ city
hall and wrote out an order eliminat-
ing everything in the act except the
opening dance and the closing one, a
sedate waltz.
The open air costume change, the
peeping, and all of the jokes in the
act had better be replaced with more
dancing. Mrs. Eggert suggested.
The ink on the order had hardly
got cold—or whatever it is that ink
does—when Mr. Belk, also a member
of the censor board, entered into the
drama. According to Mrs. Eggert,
the city manager, with full knowledge
of what she had done, went to the
Majestic Tuesday night, and ordered
the act to be put on in its entirety.
Obediently, Estelle changed, peeped,
etc., in full view of the customers.
Sir. Belk then went into the silence
for a while and. on emerging, in-
formed Manager Eddie Bremer that
there wasn't anything wrong with the
act and that it could keep on running
as it was. so Mrs. Eggert declares.
"I can't understand how he could
have deliberately overriden my or-
ders, and I don't think it's right,"
she said. "I'll have something to say
to him when I see him tomorrow."
The reporter left Mrs. Eggert tap-
ping her foot, and promised to re-
turn as an expert witness in the de-
bate.

Break Cotton Mills, Said

advances for tne Northeast, greater
than those for the Southern. Middle ]

would result in disaster to the New '
England cotton industry, the dele-

Manufacturers were told by the com-
mittee on rates and transportation
today.

of the entire freight rate structure
I of the country favorable to agricul-
tural products and basic commodi-

viewed as an intent on the part of
the government and congress to in-
crease freight rates on the products
of manufacture. Your committee sees
in this reorganization a most serious
possibility for our industry in New
England."
