y^IRTY-SEVENTH YEAR—No. 316BROWNSVILLE TEXAS THURSDAY MAY 16 1929EIGHTEEN PAGES TODAY•5c A COPY
BROWNSVILLE has been excep-
tionally dry since the first of Janu-
ary.
Weather records Indicate the
fact. Other parts of the Valley
have not been so dry.
The first four to five months of
the year are always dry but this
year reports Meteorologist Schnur-
busch of the Brownsville weather
station the moisture is four inches
below normal.
Rainfall in January was .46 inch;
. in February. .27 inch; in March .26
inch and in April. .88 inch.
The rainfall early Tuesday
amounted to .39 inch giving a total
of 2.26 inches since January when
there should have been about six
inches.

MARVELOUS is radio science.
An airplane leaves Brownsville
for Mexico City.
It Is equipped with radio. i
This enables it to connect with I
station NAY. the United States j
naval radio station in Brownsville i
Thereafter on its 285-minute j
flight to Mexico City it may. if it
wishes keep in constant touch with
the station here.
It is another step to promote
safety in air travel.
And which brings one to wonder
whether the airplane voyages be-
tween Brownsville and Mexico City
couldn't in some way function to
supplement weather Information
here.
The United States weather sta-
tion here has no weather "dope’'
on the country to the south. Per-
haps this could be supplied through
arrangement with the aviation
companies.
«FOLKS WHO DESIRE quick ser-
ce on marriage licenses have only
'ew days left.

the license at least three days be-
fore it can be issued. If more than
30 days are allowed to elapse after
filing the application a new appli-
cation must be made before the

BROWNSVILLE high school ath-
letics are destined to spread the
fame of this city throughout the
country during the coming year
and to coordinate efforts of the
schools w’tth the desires of the citi-
zenship an advisory’ board has been
formed composed of representatives
of service clubs and business in-
terests.
J. W. Irvine athletic director of
the schools is chairman of the
organization. Travis Jennings Is
secretary and John Gregg is
treasurer.
Having won all local and district
championships by overwhelming
Odds last year the football team
seeking new worlds to conquer has
applied for and been granted ad-
mission to the class A division.
Now one plan being discussed is
the proposal that the Brownsville
high school put two football teams
in the field one In class A and one
in Class B. While the Class A
team seeks honors afar the class B
team would be in pursuit of the
Valley title.
But the real purpose of the
board will be to bring the public
in closer contact with the teams In
various lines of sports endeavor and
create a more enthusiastic support
of the schools by the public In gen-
eral.

ANOTHER Brownsville concern
celebrating a mile post attained on
«ts road to success.
The Texas Building and Loan
ji-sociation broadcasts that its paid-
» assets have reached from $100-
000. from a total of little more than
$11000 less than two years ago.
Its directors have set $1000003
paid-in assets as a goal.
The concern of which J. C. Ben-
nett is chairman and W. B. Sellers
president announces that during
Its existence it has helped to fi-
nance 200 homes in Brownsville
aiding to make this a city of home
owners. Its monthly income now'
has reached a state which permits
loans from this source.
And outside capital attracted by
the development of this city and
the concern now offers to supply
credit for greater things.

—
CLEVELAND May 16.—(API—
A re-check of the victims of the
explosions and fire yesterday at
the Cleveland clinic showed 120
persons dead at 11:45 a. m. today.
Victims who had fought for their
lives through the night succumb-
ed one after another and physi- |
cians predicted that eventually
others whose bodies were poison-.
ed with gas would die.
The gas had attacked the blood
they said slowly destroying red
corpuscles. The victims were com-
pared to the "walking gas cases” of
the World war—gassed soldiers who
withstood the inroads of the poison
for a few days and then fell over
dead.
Some of the survivors were pa-
tients. nurses and doctors at the
clinic. Others were firemen and
policemen who risked their lives in
the acrid smoke to remove the
bodies. Some were volunteers who
had worked feverishly with them.
Physicians said most of them had
but little chance for their lives.
Such a case was that of Dr. Jolm
Phillips one of the founders of the
clinic. Two tanks of oxygen were
used but he collapsed after walk-
ing some distance to his home from
the clinic. The recourse having
failed. Dr. George W. Crile co-
founder and head of the clinic per-
formed a blood transfusion upon his
colleague. In spite of everything
that could be done for him he died.
Six similar cases were recorded at
Mount Sinai hospital last night
three of them victims who had left
the charred clinic with no apparent
effects of the noxious fumes. One

Senate Debenture To Go To
House G. O. P. Heads
Decided Today
WASHINGTON. May 16—<*>)—
House republican leaders decided to-
day to receive the senate debenture
export farm relief bill so it might
be sent to conference but said in
approving such procedure they felt
senate inclusion of the debenture
proposition constituted an invasion
upon the constitutional prerogative
of the house of initiate revenue rais-
ing legislation.
It is expected the farm bill now
formally will be sent to conference
with the senate either late today or
tomorrow’.
House leaders are hopeful they
can prevail upon the conference
group to eliminate the debenture
proposition.

No Accurate Account
Commissioner Robison had testi-
fied that he kept no accurate ac-
count of the receipts and dis-
bursements of the fund.
“The acceptance of gilts and
gratuities as practiced by the land
commissioner if carried on by of-
ficials of a democratic form of

the citizenship in the government
and finally to wreck and destroy

May 16.—(Jp)—The dirigible Graf
Zeppelin mighty mistress of the air
raced westward with the sun today
above southwestern Europe on its
second trip across the Atlantic to
America. It made a previous trip
last October.
Before it lay a variable course
above Gibraltar probably the Azores
and Bermuda to Lakehurst N. J..
| which the dirigible's master Dr.
I Hugo Eckener did not expect to
reach before late Saturday night ‘
or Sunday morning.
Aboard tne chip were 40 of the
crew 13 passengers and a female
gorilla. "Susi.” The only woman
passenger was Mrs. Mary Pierce
wife of a New York utilities broker
who made the trip despite urgent
pleadings of her husband and moth- j
er. Among the men was Capt. Sir
George Hubert Wilkins arctic ex-
plorer.
The ship was trundled from its
hangar at 5:45 a m.. and at the
pilot's command was released for its i
long voyage at 5:57 a. m.. <11:57 p
m. eastern standard time Wednes-
day*. It rose slowly in an inter-
mittent drizzle while 200 or more
spectators cheered. It circled the
field one. and disappeared in 101
minutes in the direction of the Lake
Constance and Basel Switerland.
After flying over Walashut and
Saeckingen the dirigible arrived over
Basel at 7:30 a. m„ a fog obliging
it to descend close to the ground
lo discharge its first load of air
mail. Five Swiss airplanes joined
it there and acted as an escort as
far as the French frontier which it
wirlessed it had crossed at 7:55 a
m.
Mrs. Pierce was one of the first
at the field. Her decision to make
the trip was believed here never
to have been changed after her
purchase of passage Tuesday al-
though to relieve anxiety of rela-
tives in America she had it reported
she had cancelled her booking and
she herself sent messages to Amer-
ica saying she was not going.
“I hope you all told your paper?
I’m not going.” she told several
American correspondents. “Won’t
my relatives be surprised when I
drop in on them after all?”
Dr. Ackener was the last aboard
the Zeppelin. It was taken from
Its hangar poking its nose impos-
ingly into the dreary grey mist. At
5:56 he gave the command to start
the motors and the next minute
the vast dirigible was on its way
first describing a loop over Fried-

All the windows on the starboard
side were lined with faces whose
owners waved their hands in answer
to the “hoghc” of the crowd below

mood.

Endeavor to Prevent Any
Florida Citrus From
Reaching Valley
(Special to The Herald'
SAN BENITO. May 16—The ab-
solute embargo on citrus fruit de-
clared by the Texas department of
agriculture empowers state or fed-
; oral inspectors to seize and destroy
any imported fruit found in the
Valiev and was designed to prevent
Florida citrus fruit from reaching
the Valiev and thus avoid the possi-
bility of the Mediterranean fruit fly
reaching here.
This information was contained
in a comunication received today
by J. E. Bell manager of the cham-
ber of commerce here from George
B. Terrell commissioner of agricul-
ture. The letter contained a copy
of the regulations.
Terrell explained that there was a
quantity of Florida fruit stored in
Corpus Christl Houston. San An-
tonio and other Texas cities and
that it was to prevent any of this
fruit reaching the citrus growing
section of Texas that the quarantine
was declared. The ruling was is-
sued following the discovery of two
boxes of Florida fruit on sale in
the market at Brownsville.
Following that discovery state in-
spectors visited all stores and mar-
kets throughout the Valiev but
| failed to find any more Florida fruit
being offered for sale.
Bell said that vigilance commit-
tees were being appointed in all
Valley towns to aid inspectors in
the campaign to see that no Florida
fruit reaches this section.
AH Florida fruit stored In Texas
is being inspected and if it is found
to be infested it. will be seized and
destroyed Terrell said.
