PARTIES MEET
FOR OFFICIAL
VOTECOUNT
Sterling Continues To
Add Leaders To
Rank
DALLAS. Aug. 2.——Political
camps were astir as Republicans
and Democrats planned to hold
county conventions today to select
their respective state conventions
September 9.
Dallas county Democrats were
particularly distributed over a con-
test between the “anti-Tammany"
Hooter Democratic partisans of
State Senator Thomas B. Love and
the "regulars" as to whether Maury
Hughes was one of those who voted
member of the state executive com-
mittee from the Dallas .precinct.
Hughes was on of those who voted
to bar from the primaries as candi-
dates for state offices those who
bolted the party presidential elec-
tors in 1928.
Lurking in the background of
each county Democratic convention
was the disturbing element of the
governorship campaign in which
Ross S. Sterling of Houston and
Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson leading
first primary candidates were due
for a deciding contest in the run-
off for the nomination.
Mark McGee of Fort Worth
former Texas commander of the
American Legion who served as ad-
jutant general of Texas under Mrs.
Ferguson during her former term as
governor and who was Earle B.
Mayfield's campaign manager in the
recent gubernatorial contest an-
nounced at Houston yesterday that
he would actively support Sterling
in the run-off primary.
Sterling in a statement at Austin
opening his campaign put "honesty
in government" above his proposed
$350 000.000 state highway bond is-
sue plan as an issue His statement
was directed almost entirely at
James E. Ferguson former governor
who was impeached and husband of
Sterling's opponent in the run-off.
A revolt in the ranks of Jefferson
county supporters of Earle B. May-
field was in evidence at Beaumont
when J. B. Morris United States
commissioner and /hairman of the
Mayfield committee in that county
in the first primary campaign an-
nounced that members of the com-
mittee had pledged their support to
Sterling regardless of the way
Mayfield voted.

DANCE FIRES
Harlingen Parent* Object
To Alumni Program
HARLINGEN. August 2—A
considerable flurry has been caused
by the announcement that there |
will be a "Harlingen High School !
Alumni Dance" held at Cascade
Park McAllen beginning at one
o’clock Sunday morning.
It has been definitely established
that those back of the dance are
alumni o' the Harlingen school
but why the unusual hour or why
the function is being staged at
McAllen are matters which have
not been agreed upon
One theory .* that the dance is
being held as a protest a-'-inst a
school ruling against public dances j
by classes r.nd that the affair is
being held as far away as possible
to avoid unwelcome guests in the
form of irate parent*.
The following notice is being
freely circulated Saturday: "The
board of education the faculty of
the Harlingen high school and the
class mothers of class 10 do not
irnrove of the dance which is be-
ing staged at McAllen under the
name of the ’Harlingen High
School Alumni Dance ”
Word has been passed around
that several propositions of vital in-
terest to the Lower Valyley regard-
ing the opening of the road through
Kenedy county will be advanced at
this meeting and its is hoped that
they are not idle rumors and Shat.
H will be possible in the very near
future to have this road laid out
and completed. This road into the
Valley which will mean much to
the cities In the east end of the
Valley and Raymondville in par-
ticular. as well as the shortening
of mileage to hundreds of tourists
and salesmen who are coming into
the Valley every day.
Those who have signified their
intention of joining the caravan
from Raymondville are as follows:
Isadore Moritz. Fred Akard. Jake
Smith. Dr. C. C. Conley William J.
Gerron. Perry Holder. Pete Town-
send. John Holder. C. F. Thompson.
Roger Robinson. Ben Watson. Jack

BURIED ALIVE
...
Mexican Inventor Proves
Idea Is Practicable
MEXICO CITY. Aug. 2-Such
faith in the success of Ins inven- j
tion was held bv Salvador Rodrig-
uez. of Mexico City that he risked
his life in an unusual experiment j
to demonstrate it.
Rodriquez in collaboration with'
Enrique Bosdet. a Mexican of Can-
adian parentage is the co-inventor
of a device to apprehend the burial
of supposedly dead persons alive i
In order to prove the success of
the newly invented system Rodriguez
was himself buried alive in a reg-
ulation grave while Mexican officals
of the Department of Public Health
and anxious members of his family j
and that of Bosdet watched
The invention consists of a breath-
ing and speaking tube leading from
the coffin to the exterior of the
grave. Upon the slightest move-
ment on the part of the buried per-
son this tube opens but it cannot
be opened except from underground
An automatic bell which is con- j
nected with the office of the over-
seer of the cemetery then rings i
until the buried person is resurrect-
ed.
While joking with anxious friends'
who watched the experiment. Rod-
riguez entered the coffin and then
was lowered into his grave and cov-
ered with one and one-half meters
of ear‘h. Three tense minutes fol-
lowed. Then the breathing tube
suddenly popped open.
“Hello!” came a spooky saluta-
tion from the depths of the grave
“Are you all right?” The question
was shouted into the grave by Rafael
Z Moreno a mechanic who assisted
w.ih the experiment
“Yes. But it's awful hot down!
here.”

Boiling Hot Weather
Dries Up Streams
CHICAGO. Aug 2 —vP -- More
hot weather is boiling the small
remaining moisture from middle
and north western farm lands.
The cities too. burn. Their suf-
fering is physical. On the farms it
has been more than that with the
sun steadily turning to dross the
potential gold of the grain fields.
Wells have run dry. Pastures have
changed like chameions from green
to dead brown. Streams have be-
come feeble rivulets. Miles ot sand
bars along el*her shore tell how
much the Mississippi has shrunk.
The government forecaster today
prophesied local showers over part
of the territory but nothing defin-
ite to cheer the farmers faced with
the tragedy of .seeing their labors of
months burned away by drought.
Huron S. D. with a 104 temper-
ature. was the hottest place on the
American continent yesterday by
the government readings but near-
ly every weather bureau in the
middle west reported temperatures
well in the nineties.
In the area made up of lower
Michigan. Illinois. Indiana Iowa
and Wisconsin precipitation has
been 21 per cent below normal for
the first seven months of the year
Only 3.S per cent of the normal
rainfall occurred in the territory in
July. •
