TEXAS BOARD
FAILS TO TAKE
STAND FOR S.P.
N o Recommendation
for or Against Val-
ley Extension Made
Garner is Told
* -**
. ' t.u
The Texas railroad commission
never has made a recommendation to
the interstate commerce commission
that the Southern Pacific application
for permission to extend its lines into
the Lower Rio Grande Valley be
granted or that it be refused.
This information was given to Con-
gressman John N. Garner in Wash-
ington by Director Davis of the
finance division of the commission
and apparently brands as falso re-
ports that favorable action on the
application had been urged by the
Texas body.
Garner said the information came
as ‘‘a distinct surprise” to him since
he was of the opinion from the let-
ters he received and the reports in
Texas newspapers that the Texas
commission had recommended the
Southern Pacific extension. He made
the inquiry in response to telegrams
from a number of leading Texans he
said.
Telegrams sent to the Texas rail-
road commission from every chamber
of commerce in the Valley and from
various other civic bodies urging fa-
vorable action have brought ixp reply
reports to The Herald indicated to-
day. G. C. Richardson manager of
the Brownsville chamber said there
had been no reply to a wire sent out
Tuesday.
The telegrams from the Valley were
sent to the Texas commission at the
request of W. R. Montgomery of Kd-
inburg representative from that dis-
trict who has just returned from
Austin where he urged a recommen-
dation favorable to the Valley.
“When I was in Austin (March l)
I was advised by the members of the
Te as railway commission that their
recommendation to the interstate
commerce commission on this Valley
extension would go forward that day
or the next” Mr. Montgomery told *
reporter last Thursday ’.They did not
issue any public statement as to the
contents of the recommendation” he
continued.
MEXICO STATE HAS
SEVEN GOVERNORS
(By the Associate! Press.)
MEXICO CITY. March 11.-The
State of Morelos* has seven govern-
ors and t each ciniok
'trig sole legal existence an 1 denying
the claims of the other*. The three
legislatures support the cause of as
many different so-called governors.
The other four “governors” are said
to be drumming up lcgi. laiures to
support them. ♦***!• ■w
Mexican states often have several
claimants fot executive and legisla-
tive places but Morelos seems to
have established a record in the pres-
ent situation.
Unless the tangle is adjusted by
local agreement before long it is be-
lieved President C'allcs will appoint a
governor.

BRIAND BACK
(Continued from Page 1)
The feeling everywhere today was
that only Uriand could clarify the
muddle growing out of intrigue and
struggle for privileged pssitions in
the conduct of league affairs.
As M. Uriand stepped off his train
he declared it regrettable that af-
fairs had reached such a stage as to
make Germany think there was a
common plot against her. Such an
impression was ridiculous he said in-
sisting he Lad always understood
that some of the smaller powers had
sought seats in the council. Enlarge-
ment of the council would be a policy
of wisdom he thought because if dis-
putes arising from the operation of
the Locarno pact ever reached the
league as they n:ust under certain
contingencies a majority of the great
powers in the council could not. un-
der its rules participate in the vot-
ing; hence the urgency of introduc-
ing into tiic council states which were
not connected with the main Locarno
accord.
I ——— ^
: Reservation Probe
Denied by League
I By the Associated Press.)
GENEVA. March 11.-The secre-
tariat of the league of nations is-
sued a formal deniul today of reports
that the league council has decided
to constitute a committee of jurists
to examine America’s reservations to
adherence to the permanent court of
international justice. The denial fol-
lowed publication in newspapers in
Switzerland and abroad of reports
that such a committee had already
been formed.
Such reports became current yes-
terday after four jurists members
of the league’s drafting committee
in a meeting dealing with other sub-
jects held an informal and unoffi-
cial exchange of views on the ques-
tion of America’s reservations.
Such a resort to official repudia-
tion of information about the league
appearing in newspapers is a rare
event in league history. Today’s for-
mal denial indicates the great impor-
tance which the nations in the league
generally accord to America’s pro-
posed adherence to the court and
their keen desire to avoid complicat-
ing the situation while the American
reservations are being studied ly the
individual groups.

Confidential Copy of
Woodlock Report
In Austin
(Special To The Herald.)
WASHINGTON l). C. March 11.—
The no-called" leak in the forthcom-
ing recommendations of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the pro-
posed extension ofthe Southern Pa-
cific system into the Rio Grande \ al-
ley was charged to some member of
the Texas Railroad Commission Wed-
nesday in a letter to Congressman
John N. Garner from George McGin-
ty secretary of the Interstate Com-
merce Commission. McGinty explain-
ed to Garner that he had taken up
the matter of the leak with Commis-
sioner Woodlock and had found out
that a copy of the officials' proposed
recommendations had been sent to
the Texas commission for their con-
1 fidential recommendations in the
' question. The Texas Congressman
: was informed by Director Davis of
I the finance division that no report
i has yet been made by the Texas body.
1 McGinty said in his letter to Garner:
"As previously stated this case ha*
not been decided by the commission.
I have conferred with Commissioner
Woodlock personally today and he
informs me that he did send a copy
of a proposed report to the Team
Railroad Commission that he did
this out of courtesy and invited that
commission to express its views. I
think 1 am safe in repeating that no
information in respect to what may
be the decision of the commission in
this case has been given to anyone
by any official or representative of
the Interstate Commerce C©minis- j
sion.”
Garner wired Commissioner C. E.
Gilmore of the Texas Commission in- j
forming him that no recommendation 1
i by the Texas Commission as to the
light of the Southern Pacific to build
| into the R o Grande Valley has been
received in Washington. Ht* inquired
whether one is to be made and if so
when it may be expected.

large amounts before the Browns-
ville Rotary Chib yesterday in the
course of a talk on buying and sell-
ing. He stressed the point that busi-
ness houses should not charge that
sort of expenditure against advertis-
ing because it is not advertis:rg.
“Charge it to charity to donations
to anything but advertising” he urg-
ed.
The manager estimated incident-
ally that the Chamber of Commerce
in the past seven months has saved
Brownsville business houses from
$5000 to $10000 in refusing to en-
dorse various schemes promoted for
no earthly reason except to get
money for the promoter.

Denied by Princess
6Mother9Enters Suit
De Lippe-Lipski is En-
tangled in Many-
Sided Tangle
By MARGERY PICKARD
Control Press Correspondent.
NEW YORK. March !0.—Can a
mother be depended on always to
know her own child?
The interesting question hus been
raised by trial of the $100000 slan-
der action brought against the
Princess De Lippe-Lipski formerly
Mrs. Wendell Phillips by Mrs. Lydia
Agnes Stcever who claims to be her
mother.
Aside from the prominence of
Princess De Lippe-Lipski the suit
is attracting wide interest because
of the fact that Mrs. Stoever is bas-
ing her claim for damages upon a
newspaper interview given hv the
princess several years ago in which
she denied Mrs. Stoever was her
mother.
Mrs. Stoever contends that the
princess was born in the Eastern
hotel at South Ferry New York
City Dec. 16 1883. The princess'
father she declares was John Hale
Betts manager of the Eastern hotel
whom Mrs. Stoever said she had
married in 187SJ The princess she
said was christened Sarah Ellen
Betts and a baptismal certificate for
a Sarah Ellen Betts was introduced
in court as evidence.
When Sarah Ellen Betts was 18
Mrs. Stoever said she ran away and
married Charles Lee Phillips later
changing her name to Mrs. Wendell
Ph Hips.
The present trial is only a step
nearer the final unraveling of the
legal tangle in which Princess de
Lippe-Lipski has been enmeshed sev-
eral years. She is suing her late

a $100000 libel action afainst her
sister which is still pending.
Prince de I.ippe Lipski sued his
wife for an annulment more than two
years ago but went to Europe a
short time later and is believed to "
be still abroad.
