IT LOOKS IT REALLY DOES
as if action real action impends
cm this much talked of road from
Matamoros to Victoria.
Alfredo Calles told The Browns-
ville Herald Saturday night that he
wants the road built is convinced
the road will prove an invalu-
uable asset to the state of Tamauli-
pas.
And when a member of the Calles
family really sets his heart on any-
thing that thing is almost bound to
happen in Mexico.
We were impressed with the
knowledge of the situation display-
ed by Calles.
And we believe that he in turn
was impressed with the enthusiasm
of Valley folk for this road.
Lots of work toward the road has
gone on behind the scenes lots of
effort has been put forth by men on
both sides of the Rio Grande.
That road is coming and when it
comes Brownsville and the Valley
will really stand forth as tourist
centers.

FOR THE PRIVATE INFORMA-
tion of everybody in the Valley
Interested in the Kenedy county
road—
Sbme thing is expected to break on
that road in the near future.
The 90 or so days the highway
commission requested
Are just about up.
A little bird tells us that the com-
mission is just about evenly divid-
ed—
With Commr. Martin against the
road.
Chmn. John Woods favoring the
road
And Commr. Ely on the fence
mthe commission itself does not
take the desired action
You may expect to see a bill in-
troduced in the forthcoming special
session of the legislature
ORDERING the commission to
build the road
And that bill will pass the sen-
ate with but one dissenting vote.
Whose vote? You guess.

STILL ON ROADS—THE HIGH-
way commission is getting ready to
let contracts on the roads to be
built in Texas from the federal
emergency grant.
Cameron county was the first
county in the state to have its proj-
ects given approval by the com-
mission.
But—no mention of any lettings
in Cameron county is made in the
news dispatches.
Approval of our projects is fine
but what we want—is the acutal
letting of the contracts and the
building of the roads.
We take it for granted that our
county commissioners are not resting
on their laurels—but let’s get these
road projects in the necessary shape
to get some action out of state and
federal authorities.

NAMING OF RFC UNEMPLOY-
ment committee seems to be about
th« same difficult thing in Hidalgo
JUty-
As it was in Cameron.
Commissioners’ court of Hidalgo
cannot get together with the State
Rehabilitation committee—
On the county committee person-
nel.
Just why one’s political affilia-
tions should be consulted in dealing
out relief to supposedly destitute
people—
Is beyond our ken.
Can it be possible that the degree
of one's hunger—
Is measured by one’s vote?
BACK TO ROADS AGAIN—WE
hope that the commissioners’ court
will make up its mind just exactly
what it is going to do about the
Boca Chica road and then do it.
Just lots of us are having our
summer very seriously interferred
with by not being able to get to
Brazos Island.
And the same lots of us are hop-
ing that something will be done
that at least a temporary road will
be built before the summer is over
and playtime ceases.
Literally thousands of us in the
Valley are vitally interested in be-
ing able to get to Boca Chica.

SOME OF THESE DAYS YOU
may expect to see a great popular
uprising—
In and around the Rangervljle
community.
And the cause will be—
“The Rangerville Road.”
Perhaps you had forgotten the
Rangerville road
But not so in and around Ran-
leryille.
to They still hold to the quaint idea
dp there
That that road was promised them
come half dozen years ago
And that promises should be kept.'
Cuban Unrest Resumed as U.S. Gunboats Arrive
ANOTHER U. S.
SHIP OF WAR
ORDERED OUT
Troops Ordered to Fire
On Violators Of
Public Order
HAVANA Aug. 14. (AP)—As
two United States ships of war
steamed into Havana harbor to-
day to protect American property
renewed outbursts of looting and
arson impelled the Cuban military
authorities to order their soldiers
to fire on all persons violating
public order
Another cruiser was dispatched
of Cuba tcday in addition to the
three destroyers ordered to the is-
land last night for the protection
of American citizens.
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes the
new president completed a cabi-
net which virtually ignored the
claims of all of the old political
parties and the principal follow-
ers of the deposed president Ger-
ardo Machado followed their
leader’s example by fleeing the is-
land.
HAVANA. Aug. 14.—(JP>— Cuba
took the road today from revolution
to reconstruction.
The end of a general strike was
in prospect; mob violence against
followers of the deposed Pres.
Gerardo Machado quieted; and
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes as pro-
visional head was choosing a cabi-
net dedicated to social and eco-
nomic rehabilitation.
Three American war ships were
sent to Cuba to Pres. Roosevelt with
the “full knowledge and approval”
of Dr. De Cespedes to protect Amer-
ican lives and property but not to
intervene. Two of them steamed
into the harbor during the night.
Cuba at Work
Cuba went to work again. The
new government had the task of
building anew the structure aban-
doned with the flight of Machado
Saturday.
Workers took up again lives in-
terrupted two weeks ago by a grow-
ing strike by Machado's state of
war decree last week by the army’s
coup d’etat Saturday and by the
overturn of the Machado regime
with a provisional government start-
ed yesterday.
Violence attended the induction
of Dr. De Cespedes in a simple
ceremony at his home. Several un-
identified men fired several shots
into the residence from a speeding
automobile. No one was hurt there
but the gunmen later wounded two
soldiers. Ten violent deaths were
subsequently reported; several were
members of the dreaded porra
Machado’s secret police.
On Saturday 21 were killed and
more than 200 wounded and the
total number of deaths in the
revolution climbed to about 50.
High Hopes for Future
Disorders occurred yesterday in
Santa Clara Camaguey Santiago
and Manzanillo as citizens sought
to extirpate reminders of the eight-
year Machado regime and wreak
vengeance on persons and places
they connected with the deposed
president who now is in the Baha-
mas.
The provisional president has
high hopes for the future.
“The plan of my government” he
told the Associated Press “is ful-
fillment of the patriotic and rep-
resentative desires of the entire
Cuban people—restoration of nor-
mal conditions in every order of
affairs throughout the country and
establishment of moral peace every-
where in order that the free people
may continue to follow the pursuit
of life and happiness in their or-
dinary walks.”
Gerardo Machado took to politi-
cal exile in Nassau the Bahamas
with a group of close friends.
“My love is for Cuba” he said
after he arrived tired and without
baggage at a hotel.
Police guarded the plane in which
he flew from Havana Saturday
afternoon. Patrols were established
about his hotel in Nassau. Those
with him included Dr. Octavio Aver-
hoff former treasury secretary and
Eugenio Molinet former secretary
of agriculture and labor. I
Killing Goes On
Machadistas were relentlessly
hunted yesterday. It was estimated
that a score of persons were killed
in Havana. One man was killed in
Santiago. Two were wounded in
Camaguey. Thirty houses and busi-
ness places were sacked in Man-
zanillo. Three were killed in Santa
Clara.
One unverified reports was that
enforce law and order and vio-
lence waned. The students institute
joined other groups in urging a
return to tranquility.
One unverified repuort was that
porristas were given guns and told
to kill themselves.
Among those killed was Col.
Jimenes. leader of the secret po-
lice. Others were bystanders sol-
diers porristas members of cele-
brating crowds and followers of
Machado.

Bottle Of
66- Year-Old
Wine Found
A bottle of.wine—or maybe it
just looks like' wine—which is 66
years old was found at the old
army camp site on the north
tip of the Brazos Island It wras
found by Kyle Bohanan of Olmito.
The bottle is about a pint size
round with the cork stopper cov-
ered with a sealing wax in a good
state of preservation.
Evidently it has been under the
sand and water there since 1867.
when the campsite is believed to
have been covered by a tide and
storm
Bohanan expects to open the
bottle soon and see what it con-
tains.

COURT TAKES
OVER CHURCH
Loaded Guns Found Among
Congregation; Song
Leaders Confused
JONESBORO Ark. Aug. 14.—OF)
—The law took over the Jonesboro
Baptist tabernacle today in the
interests of harmony.
Yesterday two opposing factions
held services in the church at the
same time. They sang differert
hymns simultaneously. Then some
of the congregation fell to fight-
ing. When police took charge they
confiscated three shotguns loaded
with buckshot which they said
they round near the choir plat-
form.
Doctrinal differences between
followers of the Rev. Dale Crowley
pastor and the Rev. Joe Jeffers
evangelist had been brewing. De-
spite a temporary injunction ob-
tained by the Rev. Mr. Crowley
the Rev. Mr. Jeffers decided that
one of his followers would preach
yesterday.
Two thousand people came to
the service. The factions offered
different prayers at the same time.
Then one sang “I’m Bound For the
Promised Land” while another in-
toned “Will There Be any Stars in
My Crown?” This confused the pi-
ano player who played a third
hymn.
Officers took charge arresting
five men. Four of them were
charged with assault with deadly
weapons mainly guns. A guard was
placed on the tabernacle and ser-
vices were ordered abandoned till
a court settles the dispute.
Local Option
Vote Approved
A petition from residents of the
San Benito Independent School
District asking an election for re-
peal of its local option dry law
voted in 1918 and providing for sale
of 3.2 was granted by the Cameron
county commissioners court Mon-
day morning. The election will be
held concurrently with the special
state election on Aug. 26.
Bids for the county depository
were opened but will not be acted
upon before Thursday. The San
Benito Bank & Trust company bid
1*4% on $40000 as an “additional
depository.” The San Benito bank
has been working under a similar
arrangement heretofore. The State
National bank of Brownsville of-
fered one-fourth of one percent on
all county funds. A. H. Fernandez
who presented the bid stressed the
strength of a $400000 depository
bond offered. According to figures
presented the bond need not ex-
ceed $230000 but this matter Is
optional with the commissioners.
Bond Issue
To Be Aired
The $20000000 unemployment
relief bond issue will be thoroughly
explained at a meeting of citizens
to be held at the Cameron county
courthouse at 2 p. m. Tuesday. The
meeting has been called by State
Rep. Augustine Celaya chairman
of the bond drive in Cameron coun-
ty.
County Judge A. W. Cunningham
who attended the meeting called In
Austin Friday by Gov. Miriam A.
Ferguson relative to the bond issue
is to be one of the speakers.
Boca Chica Road
Ready by Tuesday
The highway to Boca Chica will
probably be in shape for passage
of automobiles by Tuesday Col. Sam
A. Robertson said today.
Two short sections of the high-
way were washed out by the recent
high tide and it has been necessary
to rebuild a grade across these
washouts.
STORM RELIEF
DRIVE IS TO
BEGIN TUESDAY
Red Cross Asks Aid
Relief Work To
Jobless
Aid of Brownsville citizens in a
storm relief fund to augment an
appropriation of the National Red
Cross was declared necessary at a
meeting of officials of the Browns-
ville Red Cross Monday morning.
The $2500 appropriation of the
national organization is inadequate
to meet requirements of unemploy-
ed persons in Brownsville whose
homes were damaged by the recent
hurricane a survey recently com-1
pleted by the Brownsville chapter I
revealed.
To Canvass City
A committee headed by Rev. O.
C. Crowe was appointed to canvass
the business district Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Only the unemployed will receive
aid from the Red Cross Cross to
repair storm damage Rev. Crowe
stated and a maximum of $25 per
family was set at the Monday
meeting. In cases where repair and
carpentry work is necessary the
work will be done by unemployed
persons in the city Rev. Crowe
continued.
Damage to certain sections of the
city where the unemployment rate
is high was damaged worse than
first believed it was stated. It also
was brought out that when the
national organization’s appropria-
tion was made attention was called
to the local chapter that Browns-
ville citizens themselves were ex-
pected to increase the fund.
Begin Drive Tuesday
No member of the committees of
the form relief drive will receive
pay for his work it was further
pointed out.
All requests for aid will be con-
sidered by an inspection committee
composed of Drew Patteson George .
Mansur and G. C. Richardson.
Rev. Crowe announced this morn-
ing that the canvassing committee

munity who will check all orchards
to see that none is missed.
Valley communities are to be
worked systematically with state

Third Arrested For
GirPs Slaying
Also Taken
TUSCALOOSA. Ala. Aug. 14.—
(JP)—One of three negroes spirited
away by a lynching party was still
missing today after the bodies of
his companions were found riddled
by bullets.
llie three Dan Pippen Jr. 18
Elmore Clark 28 and A. T. Harden
16 had been indicted for killing
Miss Miss Vaudine Maddox 21-
year-old white whose battered body
was found in a ravine.
Police said that as a result of
rumors of a threatened attack on
the jail here they decided to re-
move the prisoners to Birmingham
for safekeeping. Sheriff R. L.
Shambling said that on the way the
party was halted yesterday near
the Jefferson county line by two
automobile loads of armed men
who seized the negroes.
Later the bodies of Pippen and
Harden were found near Blocton.

nor B. M. Miller Judge Henry B.

cal organization. Lawyers for the
I.L.D. had sought to represent Pip-
pen but were ruled cut.
Sheriff Shamblin charged that
feeling aroused by "the interference
of the International Labor Defense
lawyers in the case is directly re-
sponsible for this violence.

CAPTURE STIRS
FARM DISTRICT
People Knew iSomething
Wrong’ at House
On Hilltop
PARADISE Wise County Aug. 14
OP)—Residents of this quiet farm-
ing community far from large cen-
ters of population professed Ignor-
ance today of the trips Harvey
Bailey held in Dallas made recent-
ly to the home of a prominent land
owner four miles west of town.
"Harvey Bailey? Who is he?”
That was the usual question ask-
ed when reference was made to the
leader of the break of convicts
from the Kansas penitentiary at
Lansing last Decoration day.
As a result of the raid Saturday
of several loads of department of
justice agents from Dallas *and
Fort Worth when Bailey was cap-
tured while in bed fanners and
their families peered inquisitively
at high-powered automobiles which
laboriously negotiated the rough
narrow lanes leading to the little
house at the top of a hill.
They had know for some time
that “something was wrong” but
had not been able to find out the
nature of the mysterious trips large
automobiles made to and from the
house. They wondered why a wom-
an every few days would drive a
high-powered automobile to a
Paradise filling station have it oil-
ed greased and filled with gas-
oline. When she came again she
would be driving another large
car equally as powerful r.nd just as
shiny. After making a few pur-
chases. she would leave and drive
over the same four miles of rough
road.
They knew that opposite the
farm house about 500 yards dis-
tant was a new garage which
"could take care of five or six
cars.”
The wife of the farm owner who
In recent years had showed signs
of prosperity told neighbors that
all the persons who came to her
home were "kin folks.”

WASHINGTON Aug. 14. (AP)
—A tty. Gen. Cummings announc-
ed today that the arrest of Har-
vey Bailey on a farm In Texas
Saturday not only resulted in the
apprehension of the leader In
the Kansas City depot slayings
of June 17 but evidently solved
the kidnaping of Charles F. Ur-
schel at Oklahoma City July 22.

tion were available on the back
porch of the house a few feet away.
The 12 officers split into groups of
four each and converged upon the
farmhouse from different directions
without arousing Bailey.
Wanted in Bobbery
In addition to the Kansas City
rail station massacre and the Ur-
schel kidnaping Bailey also was
wanted in connection with the $2-
000000 bank holdup at Linclon Neb-
Sept. 17. 1930.
The officers said that robbery was
planned on Bailey’s Sullivan coun-
ty Missouri farm.
Gus Jones head of the San An-
tonio office of the department of
justice who led the raid upon the
farmhouse near Decatur told news-
paper men that it was at the home
Bailey’s mother in Missouri that
“Killer” Burke was arrested a few
years ago after a nationwide search
for Chicago and Indiana murders.
Burke now is serving a life sen-
tence.
Caught While Asleep
Janes recognized Bailey from a
photograph as the long sought des-
perado. He never had seen him be-
fore.
Shoving a machine gun muzzle
into Bailey’s face Jones aroused
him with:
“All right Harvey we’ve got you."
Bailey awoke with a start blink-
ed his eyes and instantly seemed to
realize his predicament. He made
no motion towards his three wea-
pons within easy reach.
