EDDIE STINSON with many thou-
sands of air flying to his credit
passed through Brownsville the oth-
He was enroute from Detroit to
Mexico City to deliver & Stinson-
™ Detroiter airplane.
The plane is expected to be used
in the Larcdo-Mexico City flying ser-
vice.
Significant isn't it that Stinson
used the Matamoros and Browns-
ville route?
He followed Col. Lindbergh's trail
also that of Mrs. Lindbergh the
colonel’s mother Will Rogers and
tome others.
The Brownsville-Matamoros route
is several hours nearer the Mexican
capital than any other border point.
Besides which it carries the plane
over hundreds of miles of coast line
where low altitude flying is possible
--with safety.

THE SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS
claims credit for inaugurating the
movement that gave that city and
Laredo the international mail in*
stead of Houston Corpus Christ!
and Brownsville.
It says that when it seemed cer-
tain that the line would be lost to
San Antonio in favor of Brownsville
and Houston the Express sought
and obtained Laredo's cooperation.
Then it got St. Louis interested.
Then Laredo obtained the interest
of Governor Aaron Saenz of Mon-
terrey and other governors along
that route.
After which Cosme Hinojosa. Mex-
ico postmaster geneial was prevailed
upon to designate the Laredo route.

IN THE MEANTIME there is some
significance in the fact that Wash-
ington has held up establishment of
the New York-Washington-Atlarta-
New Orleans-Houston-Border ser
vice.
Perhaps Washington wants to sec
the Laredo-Mexico (lty route in ac-
tion for a time. Perhaps Mexico
Citv feels the same way about the i
e
situation.

RANIERI FREED BY KIDNAPERS
- _
i \ rf r~ *_
William Itanierl. 10-year-old son of a wealthy Italian contractor who
has been held for $6;»000 ransom. The father a» first refused po-
lice aid. Young Ranieri was freed near Joliet 111. Tuesday night
as the . olice net drew about the e xtortionists.
Kidnaped Youth is
Returned; He Gets
$10 and Black Eye
(HKAGO Sept. 19.—(JP.-A little
boy with a black eye wandered into
a Joliet 111. filling station last
night an'd the 13-day search for th«
kidnaped Billy Ranien was ended.
It was a very calm youngster whc
said to the station attendant Georg*
Mats: “I want to go home. I’ve been
kidnaped." ('aim. particularly in
view of the fact that his disappear-
ance. the demand of $65000 ransom
for his return and a sequence ol
threatening letters to his parents
had numbered with dread the Sicil-
ian community of Chicago in which
he lived.
The lad. who is 10 years old was
! unhurt except for the eye diseolor-
' ation caused he said by a blow
from one of the kidnapers’ fists. He
told a story of imprisonment on a
faim and had a good word to say
for the man and woman who were
his jailers. His principal point
which he repeatedly emphasised dur-
ing the hours of questioning by
Sheriff Margraf was that he wanted
to go home "and see my mama.”
Was Hit in Eye
"They hit me over the head and
in the eye when they dragged me
into their car” Billy said reciting
details of the kidnaping September
5. "They kept telling me to shut
up and when I hollered anyway he
hit me."
“The men who kidnaped me were
Italians.” he said. "The man and
woman to whose farm they took me
were French. I couldn't understand
what the farm people said but I
can understand Italian. The farm-
ers treated me all right. There
was a little bov there and we play-
ed together. Once I got away but
they caught me."
The boy’s release came after po-
lice had announced that th^ir in-
vestigation was drawing a close net
about the extortionists.
Was Released
Billy said the two men who had
kidnaped him as he was starting
home from school two weeks ago
turned him loose last night. They
put him in an automobile and drove
for half an hour he said. They
stopped and one of the men gave
him a $10 hill.
“Walk straight ahead.” the man
told him "until you come to a
streetcar track. Get on the car and
tell the conductor you want to go

appeal to Herbert Hoover to carry
his campaign to Texas was made to-
day by Thomas B. Love former
democratic national committeeman
for that state and a delegation of
Texas democrats who called on the
republican presidential candidate at
his headquarters.
“We assured him that Texas is a
doubtful state and that he could
carry it if he would make a speech
there.” said Love who spoke for the
visitors. "None of us ever has voted
for any presidential candidate other
than a democratic one before.
“The Texas democrats are in open
revolt against Al Smith. We still are
democrats but are for Hoover.”
Creager In Party
Those with Love included Cato
Sells of Fort Worth another former
democratic national committeeman;
Marshall Hicks of San Antonio for-
mer democratic state chairman;
Alvin S. Moody of Houston chair-
man of the anti-Smith aemocratic or-
ganization of Texas: O. B. Colquitt

The Texans were with Hoover for
nearly half an hour and gave him a
full report on the situation in their
state. There waf no announcement
I as to whether the republican stan-
dard bearer would go to Texas.
Love was one of those to organize
I he movement against Smith in the

ROMA MAKES
FALSE START
ON ITALY HOP
Plane Returns to Old
Orchard Me. After
21 Minutes; Air In-
take Is Damaged
OLD ORCHARD Maine Sept. 19.—
The Bellanca monoplane Roma
turned back and landed on the beach
here at 11:32 a. m. eastern standard
time today 21 minutes after it had
taken off on a projectel non-stop
flight to Rome.
Watchers at « ape Elizabeth light
reported that when the Roma passed
there at a low altitude it was shoot-
ing black smoke and its motor ap-
parently was firing unevenly.
Commander Cesare Satelli declared
when the Roma landed that he could
not say what had caused the apparent
failure of the motor to runction per-
fectly until he had a conference with
the other fliers.
An inspection of the motor re-
vealed the air intake on the carbu-
retor wi» broken and bent. The in-
take had been pronounced perfect on
an inspection prior to the take off
and the fliers believed the wheel of
the plane had picked up a stone and
thrown it against the mechanism
with force enough to bend it.
Auto Owners Are
Required to Have
Identification
Although it is no longer necessary
to register cars crossing into Mexi-
co with the United States Customs
officials motorists are expected to
submit upon return papers that will
show ownership according to W. A.
Neale deputy United States customs
collector in Brownsville.
“People are still coming here to
headquarters to register their cars
when that regulation was done away
with six months ago” he said. “It is
necessary for them to show papers
of ownership to customs officials
when the return to this side of the
river however.”
Neale announced that “emergency
trip" cards can he 'secured by mot-
orists at all hotels filling stations
and the chamber' of commerce and
that these cards must be signed by
customs officials before the car is
taken across the international
bridge.
License receipts bill of sale or any
other papers that denote ownership
of the automobile are sufficient
however.
