The others were Russell Mathews,
assistant director of immigration at
El Paso, Texas, and W. H. Fryer,
former assistant United States attor-
ney at El Paso.
Ateca and Mayques were arrested
in Kansas City Wednesday by Secret
Service operatives as fugitives from
justice from El Paso. Their bail was
set at $5,000 each, which they prompt-
ly paid out of the big bag and kept
on traveling.
New York.—Freedom from custom
inspection, a privilege commonly ac-
corded officials on government busi-
ness, was condemned by members of
the Federal grand jury that sat in
April as leading to various abuses “and
to the natural suspicion that the claim-
ed privilege of free entry is really be-
ing used as a cover for the importa-
tion of contraband.”
After the statement criticising the
practice of free entry, signed by every
member of the jury, was made public
without comment by United States
Attorney Charles H. Tuttle it was
learned that the jurors had spent 10
days investigating the practiqh im-
mediately following upon the arrival
of the steamer Cristobal on March 25.
The grand jurors took no action as
such, waiting until they were discharg-
ed to issue statements as private citi-
zens.
There were more than a dozen mem-
bers of the House of Representatives
on the Cristobal, several of whom
were granted free entry in advance as
being on a government mission. Rep-
resentative William M. Morgan of
Ohio, who was on the boat but who
had not been granted free entry, de-
manded that he be accorded the cour-
tesy and on his insistence and his
statement that he was on official busi-
ness was permitted to enter without
baggage examination.
Customs agents testified at an in-
vestigation into the matter by the
Federal attorney that Representative
Morgan had threaten6d to “make trou-
ble in Washington” if he were not
granted free entry.
In their statement the members of:
the disbanded grand jury said * they
regarded the practice of allowing of-
ficials of the Government the privi-
lege of having their baggage passed by
the customs officials without examina-
tion as “un-American.”
“We regard it as un-American ar.d
contrary to the fundamental principle
of equality before the law,” the state-
ment said, “that any citizen, merely
because he is a congressman or other
official, should be exempted from the
spection of baggage or from the opera-
tion of law or departmental regula-
tion, while others, who merely are
part of the plain people, are required
to submit thereto.
“On the contrary, public officials
should be the first to set the example
of scrupulous acceptance and observ-
ance of the burdens of the law.”
Washington.—A re-adjustment of
the protective tariff structure, was pro-
posed by the majority members of
the ways and means committee in a
voluminous bill presented to the house
and designed to replace the Fordney-
McCoumbel law of 1922.
Substantial increases in rates de-
signed to afford greater protection to
American farmers, sugar producers,
wool growers and many manufactur-
ing industries were recommended, al-
though some schedules, notably those
dealing with tobacco and spirits, were
left unchanged. Few alternations were
proposed in other schedules, dealing
with books and paper, and iron and
steel.
Claude B. Hudspeth (Dem.), Texas,
after reading the schedules of agricul-
tural products, which included live-
stock, said:
“I am very much disappointed that
the bill does not contain a duty on
I hides. Otherwise it would be, as far
as the livestock industry is concerned
m very fair bill.
“I propose to offer an amendment
, to place a reasonable dun* on hides
when the bill comes to the house.
“The duty has been increased to
what' I believe is the proper estimate
an wool and mohair, and I feel that it
should remain there. Also I am grat-
ified to see the duty increased upon
the importations of canned and dress-
ed meat.”
Duties on cattle would not be chang-
I ed, but the rate on fresh beef and

Take the landaulet
body type this year which first made
its appearance in the medium-low
priced field on the new Oakland All-
American Six. A soft fabric top cov-
ers the rear quarter section. This may
quickly and easily be folded for health-
ful open air driving during the warrh
summer months—a feature that im-
parts to the car a swagger air particu-
larly appealing to the woman driver.
Shortly after its introduction on the
All-American Six, this type was also
adopted by the new Pontiac Big Six,
as well as by several other makes of
cars. . i
The adjustable driver’s seats on the
i Oakland and Pontiac lines likewise
were designed to meet the needs ol
the woman driver. A turn or two on
an easily operated regulator conven-
iently placed within reach of the driv-
er moves the entire seat to that po-
sition most comfortable behind the
wheel. Drivers of different stature may
exchange positions behind the wheel,
adjust the seat tb fcuit them best, and
be off again in a few seconds.
Wider seats, both front and rear,
also have been built to add to the com-
Detroit, May 11.—Exceeding by ap-
proximately 10,000 units its best pre-
vious monthly manufacturing record,
the Chevrolet Motor Company id
April established a new all-time mon-
thly production record with an output
of 157,137 car? and trucks. April was
the second consecutive month during
which Chevrolet set up a new all-
time monthly production mark, March
having been high with 147, 273 units.
The sensational April achievement
brifigs Chevrolet production in the
first four months up to the record
total of 511,837 units as compared with
477,967 for *the corresponding per-
iod of 1928, a gain of more than 33,-
000 units over the best previous cor-
responding period in the company’s
history.
The most significant feature of
Chevrolet’s manufacturing perfor-
mance daring the first four months is
the fact that during that limited per-
iod Chevrolet built more six cylinder
cars than any other manufacturer has
ever built in an entire year. ,
Co-incident with the announce-
ment of this latest Chevrolet produc-
tion achievement was the indication
that in response to the greatest de-
mand Chevrolet has ever known, May
will see another all-time monthly re-
cord established. Tentative schedules
arranged for the current month call
for a May production of 160,000 cars
and trucks.
Sixteen giant factories located at
strategic points from coast to coast
are now working with all speed consis-
tent with Chevrolet’s precision manu-
facturing methods to accommodate the
greatest spring business in the his-
tory of the companyfP
