taries from about thirty cities and
towns of Texas. Discussion of prob-

Presiding over the meeting is E. C.

sociation. F. N. Clifford, vice presi-
dent, and Hubert M. Harrison are al-
in attendance in their official capacity.
The convention was formally opened
for business at 10 o’clock by Walter
E. Long, secretary of the Austin Cham-
ber of Commerce, who welcomed the
visiting secretaries to Austin. Mr.
Long then called on Ben M. Barker,
president of the Austin Chamber of
Commerce, to make the address of wel-
come. .
"We welcome you to our city and
hope that you will enjoy your stay in
the Capital City,” said Mr. Barker.
• We have here the educational center
of Texas. Other cities and towns have
been blessed with commercial advan-
tages. but Austin educates the, chil-
dren from other'communities after
commercial advantages have built up

vast agricultural possibilities, and in
that section is found a poor man’s par-

several years ago we had no idea that
West Texas had such wonderful wealth
of resources underground until we
heard 9t the abundant natural re:
wources being developed at Wichita

which you represent Ie intended to
develop the natural resources of the
state. Again on behalf of the Austin
Chamber of Commerce I welcome you

today he had been the innocent victim
of a band of masked men at Glidden,
Texas, Friday night. He suffered se-

result of his alleged mistreatment.
Adams said two armed and masked
men took him from the station-lunch

been silenced by a blow over the head
with a pistol butt. He was thrown
into an automobile and the party, aug-
mented by other masked men, drove
toward Weimer, he said, adding that
his reiterated protests were stopped
by his captors choking him. Finally
the automobile was stopped and Adams
hurried into a pasture where he was
