from the bottom of the 1,000
foot shaft and pronounced it
crude oil.
Nearly everybody in St. Char-

The 20 per cent gain in postal re-
ceipts for Denton for the first three
months of this year as compared
with the same period last year is
a good index to the amount of busi-
ness that is being done in Denton
at the present time. Few cities of
Denton’s size have postal receipts
that come anywhere near the lo-
cal figures, and likewise, few cities
this size do the same volume of re-
tail business that is carried on
here. About the only slump in busi-
ness that Denton experiences under
ordinary circumstances is the sea-
sonal drop at the end of the sum-
mer between the close of the sum-
mer classes at the two State col-
leges and the opening of the regu-
lar winter terms.

A few facts that justify Texas in
an effort to restore and conserve
wildlife:
Texas ranks first in the annual
value of its wildlife resources; has
a greater variety of wildlife than
any other state; Texans shoot more
game than is shot in any other
state; Texas wildlife resources are
valued more than $25,000,000 an-
nually on hunting and fishing;
farmers and ranchmen of Texas
make a greater profit in the aggre-
gate from the wildlife that inhabits
their land than is made by the
landowners in any other state;
Texas is the first state in the Union
in rural population; it is fifth in
general population; Texas ranks
nineteenth in the amount of rev-
enue that is provided for restora-
tion and administration of its wild-
life resources; in many sections of
Texas the original wildlife abun-
dance has reached the state of ac-
tual depletion; a number of valua-
ble species of this State, with abun-
dant opportunity for increase, are
scarcely holding their own—among
them mountain sheep, pronghorn
antelope, prairie chickens; there
has been little legislative effort in
this State to provide the flexible
laws with which wildlife emergen-
cies might be met.
The future security of our wild-
life can be provided if all groups,
and all citizens who should be in-
terested in the valuable natural re-
sources of the State, will meet and
counsel together, and join forces and
purposes for immediate action. That
was the purpose of the first wild-
life conference recently called by
Governor Allred.

Trouble Erased
BATAVIA, N. Y.—Mrs. Sam-
uel Severe said her son An-
thony, now 14, complained
eight years ago he was unable
to hear with his left ear.
A pencil eraser was removed
from the ear'and Tony’s hear-
ing troubles apparently were
ended.
“Always wrong” is the way the
chain prophet, Bud Duncan, ex-
presses himself on the dry weather
prediction of the moon-man, Joe
Akins. Looking at the chain, he
says, “It’s coming on and gives
hope of a change in weather.”
Two new locations for oil tests in
the Pilot Point field have been
made, one Northwest of Pilot Point,
East of the present field on the
Koerner farm, and the other about
five miles Northeast of Pilot Point
where a 2,000 foot-test will be
made. The driller on the 2,000-foot
test will have a 120-foot derrick,

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April 11.—
(TP)—At least three persons, includ-
ing a woman, were injured and a
strike leader was arrested today as
trouble flared anew at the John
MJorriell an|d Company pafddng
plant where some union butchers
have been on strike for more than
a year.
Three men, Buddie Dobson,
George Taylor and Dan Webb, were
charged here Friday night with,
theft over $50, alleging the steal-
ing of a 90-foot oil rig belt from a
drilling rig near Roanoke Thurs-
day night. City Officers Roy Moore
and Leon Hannah, Deputy Sheriff
John .Conaway and Deputy Con-
stable E. B. Floyd closed investiga-
tions of the case late Friday when
the three men were brought here
from Gainesville, where they had
been taken into custody on the Den-
ton officers’ request, and the belt
was recovered at St. Jo, Montague
County.
While many houses in Denton and
Denton County have been painted
this year, it only takes a drive over
the city and county to become im-
pressed with the fact that consid-
erably more paint is needed. Really
a paint boom should get under way
and perhaps some newspaper ad-
vertising and shirt-sleeve advertis-
ing would help start it. A big ma-
jority of the homes need repairs
and painting, and it is probably true
that about the same proportion,
maybe more, exists throughout the
State. This year (Centennial) will
see more tourists passing through
and stopping in Denton than ever
before in the same length of time,
and it behooves the citizens of each
town to put on their Centennial -
clothes. And painting will go a long
way toward the dressing up that
Denton needs, both in the residen-
tial and busings sections.
Tomorrow is Easter and Denton
churches will hold special Easter
services. Local pastors cordially in-
vite people, whether members of a
church or not, to meet with them
for the services.
“And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a pla ce of the skull . . . And they crucified him . . . —St. Matthew, 27:33, 35.
Portrayed in what is believed the world’s largest painting, one of Christianity’s most tragic moments—Jesus, in patient, suppliant mien, heeding neither the loud lament of the women
nor the taunts of the high priests, while the crosses were being erected upon which He and the guarded thieves behind Him were to die—is on exhibition in Chicago. Titled
“Golgotha,” the 195x44-foot masterpiece of Jan Styka, recently was resurrected from a South Side storage house in which it had reposed since it last was §hown in 1911. Painted,
in Rome and Palestine over a period of several years at an estimated cost of more than $100,000, “Golgotha” was brought to Chicago in 1893 for the Columbian Fair. Proceeds
from exhibition of the huge painting, owned by Frank Masterson, Chicago, will go to charity.

NEW YORK, Apri’ -ri ■ .’o-
lice detectives hunting the slayer
who strangled Mrs. Nancy Titter-,
ton, attractive 34-year-old auth-
ress-wife of a National Broadcast-
ing Company executive, disclosed,
today a man’s fountain pen, found
near the victim’s nearly nude body
was their only definite clue.
Fingerprints on the wall beside
the bathtub where Mrs. Titterton’s
body was discovered late yesterday
were smudged so badly they were
worthless, the officers said.
Lewis Titterton, husband of the
victim, told the detectives he never
had seen the pen before. The offi-
cers assumed the slayer dropped
it.

Says Communism Fostered
“Cardenas is backed by commun-
ists,” said the former ruler. “The
president’s policy of fostering com-
munism may not lead to revolution
but it is ruining the infant indus-
tries of the country and can lead
only to anarchy and chaos. Car-
denas and I are friends but we dif-
fer on principles.”
The 58-year-old exile said
sought rest in California.
"I will spend the remainder of my
life resting,” he said. “No politics,
no fishing, no hunting—nothing but
rest.”
He expressed deep concern over
his forced departure:
“It deeply grieved me when the
soldiers and secret police came to
my home and explained the pur-
pose of their visit. After living 58
years in a nation and always trying
to act for its interests as I saw
them, it was quite a blow to hear
that I had to leave my native land,
my family efid my friends at once
and might never be able to return.”
WASHINGTON, April ll.r-(/P)—t
Bent on reaching a decision today
on all points still unsettled, Dem-
ocrats on, a House tax subcommit-
tee gathered to continue the task
of drafting the new $799,000,000 tax
program.
The drafters, who later will sub-
mit their work to the full House
Ways and Means Committee, al-
ready had rounded the main pro-
vision of the plan into (shape.
This provides for a tax on cor-
poration net income, graduated
according- to the percentage of
profits withheld from stockhold-
ers.
Full details were not disclosed,
but some corporations will receive
special treatment. Chairman Sam-
ual B. Hill (D-Wash.) announced
that subcommittee Democrats had
agreed on definitions of corporation
debt, vital to a proposed provision
to give relief to corporations bur-
dened by debt.
He also said it had been decided
to put foreeign banks anff trust
companies and foreign corporations
which are in receivership in do-
mestic courts on a flat 15 per cent
tax basis, instead of the graduat-
ed tax. Previously it had been de-
cided to apply this same flat rate
to American corporations in simi-
lar classes.
Hill hoped the hubcommitteemen
would reach agreement today on
all points still unsettled. These in-
clude aspects of a proposed levy
to recapture part of the old pro-
cessing taxes which processors suc-
ceeded in keeping from the govern-
ment.
WASHINGTON, April 11. —(/Pl-
President Roosevelt granted an-
other hearing today to Major Gen-
eral Johnson Hagood who was re-
lieved of command of the Eighth
Corps area after criticizing WPA
spending.
Dr. stephen McReynolds, 76, a
practicing physician here until
about 10 years ago, and a resi-
dent practically all his lijfe until
the last few Jfr^ars, died sudden-
ly of a heart 'attack Friday evening
in the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Clifford Gray, in Terrell..
Funeirai services will be held in
Terrell Sunday, and burial will be
here Sunday afternoon, probably
4:30 o’clock in the I. O. O. F.
/cemetery, conducted by the Ma-
sonic Lodge. All friends in Denton
County are to be honorary pall-
bearers.
Dr. McReynolds was born in
Mississippi but camo to Texas
when quite small with his parents,
the late Mr. and Mrs. Stephen
McReynolds, settling in the Lloyd
community. In his early years as
a physician he practiced at Lloyd,
later coming to Denton.
He is survived by his daughter,
a son, Marcellus McReynolds, of
Houston, and three brothers,
Ephraim of Paducah, Lee of Fort
Worth and J. L. McReynolds of
Houston, a former teacher in the
Denton public schools. He has a
number of nephews, nieces and
other relatives here.
No Clues Found
Early today after 12 persons ques-
tioned for nearly six hours by po-
lice were relesed Deputy Chief Un- I
spector Frances J. Kear and Assist-
ant District Attorney William F.
O'Rourke announced:
“We have found no new leads
in this case. The! medical examiner’s i
autopsy will determine further ac-
tion.”
The victim’s hupsband, Lewis
Titterton, was one of those ques-
tionew. The others were:
Two delivery men wh0 found the
body when they entered the un-
latched door of the Titterton suite
in a fashionable Beekman place
apartment building; two janitors,
four painters who had peen work-,
in.g there yesterday, and three per-
sons described as friends of the
family.
Titterton who was at his office
when tofied of the tragedy late
in the afternoon, said the Hast time
he saw his wife alive was when,
he left for work,
Mrs. Titterton was killed be-
tween il and 11:30 a, m. police
said.
As police reconstructed the trag-
edy, the slayer entered the apart-
ment by way of the door, choked
the pretty, redhaird young woman
until she was dead or unconscious,
ripped all of her clothing except
her stockings, and th&n attempted
to assault her,
They believed the slayer carried,
her body to the bathroom and left
it face downward in the tub.
ROME, April 11.—(/P)—Tlie fami-
liar clamor of bells of Rome’s
churches and cathedrals filled the
air today, proclaiming Christ’s res-
urrection and the en dof the 40
days of Lenten mouring.
The bells Jiave been silent since
Holy Thursday, while the devout
attended services commemorating
the saviour’s passion and death.
Within the churches, joyous or-
gan music poured forth once more,
flames flickered on the paschal can-
dles and holy images and relics
were divested of their bomber black
and purple draperies.
4n St. Peter’s,' Cardinal Pacelli
struck sparks from flint to light the
“new fire” suggesting the Ressurec-
tion. Then the papal secretary of
state blessed the pope’s paschal
candle, eight feet tall and three
inches in diameter.
He also conducted the Holy Sat-
urday mass and imparted benedic-
tion with relics associated
Christ’s passion and death.

Earlier in the day Maloney, his
daughter Margaret, 13, and his
small son received a similar pack-
age. They called to Mrs. Maloney,
ill upstairs. As they untied the gift,
it burst in their faces. All three
were seriously hurt.
Six Bombs Sent
After a hasty investigation, pos-
tal inspectors said six bombs had
been sent. Meanwhile, former Sher-
iff Luther Kniffen opened what he
thought was a box of his favorite
cigars. It was a bomb that did not
explode. Police stopped a mailman
about to deliver a bomb to the home
of Judge Benjamin R. Jones of the
Luzerne County courts.
The bungling crank mailed a
similar bomb to “James S. Gorman”
(Coatlnuea on rage Five)
Similar to Others
The bombs, too, were similar to
others recently found in these re-
gions. All were* made the same,
sticks of dynamite and loose dyna-
mite in cigar boxes. All the boxes
were wrapped in white paper and
bound with white string. The ad-
dresses were printed with lead pen-
cil. Each was marked “Sample” and
obviously made to appeal' as a gift.
It was such a box little Don Leh-
man carried from the postman to
his grandfather, Michael Gallagher,
the sexton, yesterday. Don’s father,
Clinton Lehman, 35. took it to Gal-
lagher. As they untied the bundle,
it exploded. Gallagher, instantly
killed by the dynamite, was hurled
across the room. Lehman was
gravely injured.

NEW YORK—When Meyer
Nitzburg makes a champagne
bottle go “090” there’s usually a
first class reason for it. Likely
Nitzburg is repulsing would-be '

It happened in November, it
happened in March and it hap-
pened last night.
Seeing two armed men enter,
Nitzburg reached for his stock
of champagne and hurled the
bottles at the men until they
fled in confusion. One man was
arrested a short distance from
the scene, his face and arms
cut.
DALLAS, April 11.—(/P)—Disillu-
j sioned and ill in political banish-
ment, Plutarco Elias Calles predict-
ed today . a revolution is inevitable
in the Mexico that knew his iron
hand for 11 years.
' “Revolution is already stirring in
Mexico,” said the former president
Claud Callan, one of the Callan
boys, who lives in Houston now,
says in “Looking Backward”,
This is the way a politician re-
cently enlighted me: “We are no
longer living in the horse and bug-
gy days. We think now in airplane
terms.”
I knew there was something the
matter.
When every town had a livery
stable a fellow could hang around
it and hear problems discussed with
horse sents. The livery stable was
a Democratic institution, while an
airplane hanger is an aristocratic
as a Boston butler.
Horse and buggy men lived a
simple life and caught cash-fish;
airplane patrons spread on, the ag-
ony and hang suckers. Horse and
buggy bandits fought with sixshoot-
ers in the open; airplane gangsters
use machine guns in the dark.
Horse and buggy courtships could
be carried on all day with a dime’s
worth of gum drops and a few bun-
dles of sheaf-oats; airplane affairs
run into figures that look like a
Democratic appropriation.
Progress is all right I reckon, but
give me Jesse James in place of Gyp
the Blood, and turnip green and
butter milk rather than clam chow-
der and champagne. I’m backwood-
sy enough to take my time when I
go places. I don’t calculate that the
folks there will be ranting to see
me anyway.
ployes at Easton, Pa., in 1931, and
the impression yesterday’s terror
was the work of a crank maddened
by a smouldering mine labor dis-
pute.
They recalled the Easton bombs
were similar to the “home-made”
missiles scattered throughout this
anthracite valley. The bombs were
similarly marked “Sample.”
State police and local authorities,
however, stressed the fact that most
of the victims of the'7 Good Friday
tragedy were figures in mine wars
which kept this region in turmoil
for several years.
Others on Death List
A judge, a former sheriff, the um-
pire for the anthracite conciliation
board and a mine superintendent
were on the death list. For this
reason, Governor George H. Earle
and Attorney General Charles J.
Mafgiotti, also factors in the coal
mediation, were put on their guard.
The rectory of St. Mary’s Cath-
olic Church, home of the venerable
Monsignor J. <J. Curran, nationally
known for two score years as a
champion of miners, burst into
flames in the midst of the bomb
turmoil. Police and insurance in-
vestigators said that while* there
was only a “remote” possibility the
rectory was set fire by a bomb, they
could continue their investigation.
Six bombs were mailed from
downtown Wilkes-Barre Thursday
night. A service station attendant
reported seeing several men slouch-
ing in an auotmobile. One got out
and mailed something. The car
sped away.
Luzerne County authorities also
pointed to the fact that one of the
victims of the “Easter gifts” was
Thopas Maloney, fiery former presi-
dent of a disbanded miners’ union
whose home was dynamited once
before.

Wouldn’t Be President
Caljes said he never would, un-
der any circumstances, again ac-
cept the presidency of Mexico, but
would “continue my fight on com-
munism and anarchy if called by
my people.”
He went to California as a vol-
unteer exile when President Lazaro
Cardenas overthrew his powerful
political machine last June.
Calles blamed Cardenas for his
own exile and that of three sup-
porters, Luis Morones, former min-
ister of labor; Luis Leon, former
minister of agriculture, and Rafael
Melchoir Ortega, former governor
of Guanajuato.
They were arrested in Mexico
City Thursday night on orders of
Cardenas and rushed under guard
by air to Brownsville, Tex., where
they took a Dallas plane.
Calles was ill when he went to
California last June.. His return to
Mexico several months ago caused
a general stir in political circles.
Saying he was watched by police
and “hounded as a common crim-
inal” after his return, he blamed
“a serious situation” in Mexico on
Cardenas.
and maker of presidents; “My exile
will make matters worse.”
He said he and three of his ad-
visers were hustled out of the coun-
try yesterday because of his fight
against communism.
“If there is anything that can save
Mexico^ it is for labor and the mid-
dle classes to organize and fight
communism,” he said.
Communism, the exiled “strong
man” added, “is creeping steadily
over the country.
Refreshed by a night’s rest, he
left at 8:35 a. m. for Los Angeles

MIAMI, Fla., April 11.—
(AP)—The 19-ton Airliner
Brazilian Clipper sank to-
day after collision with a
i fishing boat in the harbor of
Port - of - Spain, Trinidad,
drowning two passengers
and the steward, and injur-
ing possibly a scor§ of oth-
ers, including Jose Iturbi,
world famous pianist.
~ Radio messages to Pan American
Airways’ division headquarters here
reported others of the* 18 passengers
and seven crewmen were rescued
from the partially submerged queen
of the South American skyways.
The dead:
E. Roman Martirfez, 52, export
manager of Eagle Pencil Co., New
York; passenger.
Eric R. Brogh, of London, Eng-
land; passenger.
Amadeo Lopez, dining steward, of
Miami, Fla.
Strikes Launch
The big airliner overturned as Pi-
lot Wallace Culbertson of Miami,
sweFved in a vairi attempt to avoid
striking ! fri -ri.'l iu-.ic1' dk'ictly in
the path during the dawn take-off.
The plane’s left pontoon struck
the launch, plunging the Brazillian
clipper over into the water. A
“crash” boat from the Pan-Amer-
ican seadrome immediately put out
and picked up the survivors.
It was in almost the same spot
where the Brazillian clipper was
damaged last December when a
gust of wind nosed the plane over
during a landing.
Another air liner was ordered
south from San Juan, Puerto Rico,
to complete the Brazillian clipper’s
trip. From Trinidad, the planes
wing 1,400 miles to Para (Belem),
at the mouth of the Amazon.
Damage to the plan,e which cost
$250,000 to build two years ago, was
believed slight from the actual col-
lision, but the corrosive effects of
’ salt water on the delicate instru-
ments and motors were expected to
take heavy toll.
