550-ACE CROP OF
POTATOES SOLD;
PRICE IS 5100100
Crockett Weil & Burns Plan-
tation’s First Crop Is En-
tirely Disposed Of
The Southmost Planting company
more generally known as the Byrru
potato plantation has disposed of its
entire potato acreage 550 acres at a
price of approximately $100000 f.
o. b. Brownsville according to Ben
Weil of the firm of t'rockett and
Weil sales agents for the company.
The acreage is expected to yield for-
ty cars or between 1 <5000 and 17-
000 bushels and is the largest single
crop evgr grown in the Valley. The
price is about eight and three-quarter
cents said to be a record price to
the grower.
Although the acreage yield is not
as good as a normal yield because of
the cool March winds the company
is satisfied that potatoes are a big
money crop for the Valley and will
next year double the acreage. To
plant water tend and harvest the
crop it cost approximately $55000.
according to Mr. Weil which leave
a profit of about $45000 on the crop.
The company has in addition to the
Burns plantation acreage some* twen-
ty-five of thirty small crops in dif
fercnt sections of the Valley which
will it is expected equal the produc
tion on the Burns plantation.
In addition to the potato acres-.go
the company has planted a 100-acre
melon crop which will be marketed in
June.
“While the land was secured by u-
at a much lower figure because of
the peculiar situation growing out of
the Browne company’s bond issues
we consider its value as being $">00
an acre” Mr. Weil said today about
the lands the company bought last
year about d">00 acres.
fince securing the plantation ihe
company has built largo .packing
»heds and together with other plan-
tations in that vicinity has a three-
mile extension of the holt line rail-
road. Construction work on this ex-
tension has been o mipletcd and it i«
expected that the line will be ready
for operation either today or tomor-
row. To secure the line the planters
gave a right-of-way and did the grad-
u ing. the railroad company furnishing
* and laying the rails.

“The first applause'he ever received
in congress wus from the republican
side" says Senator Sheppard quoting
the Congressional Record of Jan. 29
1892. Picturing Mr. Bailey a “per-
petual prophet of woe" Mr. Sheppard
says that on April 23 1892 Mr. Bai-
ley told the house that the constitu-
tion had been “rent and torn until it
was almost a thing of shreds and
patches.” Mr. Sheppard comments:
that Mr. Bailey had these same mis-
givings nearly thirty years ago and
will always have them no matter
what is taking place in the nation’s
lift*.-’ Mr. Sheppard also observes
that although Mr. Bailey was demo-
cratic leader of the fifty-fifth con-
gross he did not* bring democratic
success in the elections for the sue- |
feeding house.
Subordinates Judgment.
Mr. Sheppard quote* a speech of
Mr. Hailey’s July 19*-1917 in which
he '•ays that a* a loyal member of the
democratic party he subordinates his j
individual judgment to its platform |
and his Fort Worth speech last Au-
gust. when lie said he will follow his
principles wherever they may lead if
the democratic* party will not come to
them.
Mr. Sheppard say* Mr. Bailey op-
posed the bill to stop the sale of in-
toxicating liquors in the United States
capital building; that he opposed rural
free delivery; that he opposed com-
pulsory education; that he opposed
the pure food bill; opposed cotton
grading and grain grading by the
United States department of agricul-
ture; opposed the “|>hossy jaw" bill
and various other measures.
lie quotes Mr. Bailey as having said
in the house on Feb. 24 1910: “I
realize I am out of harmony with the
spirit of my times; and 1 am some-
times almost persuaded that 1 am liv-
ing in an age and attempting to do a
work for which my opinions totally
unfit me. If I could have lived fifty
years ago I might not have persuaded
the majority to accept my views hut 1
could never h; f/e provoked a contro-
versy with my political associates over
them.*’
He also quotes Mr. Bailey as having
said during a debate irt the house on
Aug. 18 1891: “Yes 1 have differed
with nearly everybody and everybody
has been wrong when 1 differed with
them too.”
Senator Sheppard concludes that
Mr. Bailey’s record proves he has
“shut the door of his mind to the
light of human progress.”
Stagnation and Negation.
His attiti^ie is one of stagnation
arul negation. He admits he is out of
harmony with the spirit of the times.
Assuredly he has no claim to the sup-
port of the forward-facing democracy
of the great commonwealth of Texas.
The gospel of Texas is the gospel of
(development and growth not that of
retrogression and inertia. Recalling
his unceasing hostility to the things
that have meant so much for the ad-
vancement of our country it is not
surprising to find him fighting so
i plendid an array of constructive
achievement as that which marks the
an- als of democracy under the leader-'
ship of Woodrow Wilson.”
Mr. SI.eppard predicts the indorse-
nunt (f the Wilson administration hv
the national democratic convention.

KILLS SURGEON

Tragedy Occurs in Fashion-

Noted Man Is Victim
i Itv The Associated Press)
NEW YORK. N. Y. April 11).—
Thomas Shelley alias Thomas Simp-
kin will be arraigned in Yorkville
court today for shooting I)r. James
Wright Markee prominent surgeon
in the fashionable St. George’s Epis-
copal church yesterday. The police
say they will !a*er ask the appoint-
ment of a commission to examine
Shelley as to his sanity. Me told the
officers that he escaped from a luna-
tic asylum last week.
Shelley was held without bond for
a hearing Wednesday.
Dr. Markee was shot anil killed
while taking up the offering at the
morning services. His assailant was
captured after a short chase by a
group of parishioners headed by Wil-I
liain Fellowes Morgan president of
the .Merchants’ Association of New
York; Dr. George E. Brewster and J.
Morgan Jones.
Dr. Market* a wealthy vestryman
of the church was a friend and per-
sonal physician to .1. Pierpont Mor-
gan also a parishioner there. He
was "»<• years old.
The church was crowded with par-
ishioners. many of them representa-
tives of the wealthiest families in
NeW York when the shooting took
place. Dr. Markee was walking down
the left aisle taking up the collection
while the choir was singing an an-
them. As he reached the 12th pew
from the rear and leaned over to pass
the plate Shelley who was seated
next to the aisle whipped out a re-
volver and fired at the physician. The
bullet struck him over the left eye
and he collapsed in the aisle.
Several women screamed and men
rushed front their seats some to the
aid of phyisician and others in pur-
suit of his assailant. Shelley with
the revolver iji his hand leaped over
the body of the physician and start-
ed to run out of the church. The
choir led by Charles Safford contin-
ued singing in an effort to quiet the
congregation.
Shelley continued shooting his
second shot directed at members of
the congregation who were pursu-
ing him going wild. John C. Tied-
man the sexton dropped to the floor
in time to escape the thin! bullet j
which grazed the cheek of J. Morgan j
Jones.
Shelley then ran from the church-
into Stuyvesant square. I)r. Brew-
ster was the first man to reach him.
He grabbed the man’s arm but Shel-
ley managed to w iggl# himself loose
long enough to fire another shot
which grazed Dr. Brewster’s thigh.
By that time several other members
af the congregation had thrown Shel-
ley to the ground and were holding
him. Then a policeman arrived
handcuffed the prisoner and took
him to the police station. Meanwhile
Dr. Markee had been carried out of
the church and placed in an automo-
bile. As he was being lifted into the
car he regained consciousness long
enough to say "I will be all right"
and then collapsed. He was rushed
to the Lying-in Hospital at Eigh-
teenth street and Second avenue but
was dead when brought into that in-
stitution.
In the church at the time were Geo.
W. Wickersham former United
States attorney general; Herbert L.
Satterlee. brother-in-law of J. l’ier
pout Morgan and Mrs. Satterlcc; K.
Fulton Cutting president of the bu
reau of municipal research and many
other prominent person*. Mr. Mor
gan. who is a member of the church
and whose father was a vestryman
there was not present when the
shooting occurred.
Shelley freely admitted that he
i shot Dr. Markee according to the
I police. "There are a lot more who
S are going to get it. too” he is re-
ported to have said when questioned
i by police detectives.

'checked at the Pennsylvania terminal
