DECLINE OFFER 15»/2c
POUND ON TEXAS WOOL
SAN ANGELO, Sept, 13.—Sub-
stantial improvement has been made
in the West Texas wool market, with
sale of 100,000 pounds at a price well
above 1514c a pound and refusal of
the Wool Growers’ Central Storage
Company to sell 1,250,000 pounds on
an offer of 1514:0 made by Max Rob-
in, who was buyer of the 100,000
pounds. With two carloads bought
from Texas Stockmen’s Supply Com-
pany at 1514c and a number of
smaller clips, Robin’s purchases for
the week totaled 200,000 pounds.
Rising prices have caused indefi-
nite postponement of the sealed bid
sale scheduled for last week by the
Central Storage Company, which has
on hand 3,500,000 pounds. While sev-

FLOOD CAUSES HEAVY
DAMAGE AT PRESIDIO
PRESIDIO, Texas, Sept. 12.—The
lazy Rio Grande rose suddenly in its
big bend here Monday, nearly 500
miles from its swollen levee-bound
mouth at Brownsville, and caused
damage estimated at $450,000.
At the mouth, a flood which had
its origin far upstream ten days ago
reached within two feet of the top of
protective levees at Brownsville and
had caused $500,000 damage in one
lower valley county alone.
Rising approximately fourteen feet
in twenty-four hours here, the Rio
Prande destroyed United States cus-
toms, immigration and public health
offices, damaged an international
footbridge and drove farmers to
higher ground.
The Santa Fe Railway bridge also
was damaged by the high water and
some tracks were under water. The
rise came from a cloudburst on the
Mexican San Juan River in its upper
reaches some 600 miles southwest of
Presidio. The two rivers join two
miles west of here.
Estimates of the damage to the
American side l’an as high as $200,
000 and a preliminary survey on the \
Mexican side indicated approximate-
ly $250,000 damage there.
me will be the representatives of
those half million Texans who have

“If on that convention floor illegal
ballots again defeat the forces of
honesty, I shall next meet Jim Fergu-
son in the courthouse.
“I have no.concern at the ultimate
outcome and I say to all who are
with me in this fight—and I know
they are of vast majority—be of
greatest hope and cheer.”
A predicate was laid for the court
litigation by the formal statement
filed by R. A. Stuart of Fort Worth,
alleging certain irregularities, be-
fore the state executive committee.

It is dangerous business, then, to use

of injuring the linings of our digestive

LUBBOCK, Sept. 12.—The Texas
democratic executive committee to-
night found that Mrs. Miriam A,
Ferguson led Goyemor R. S. Sterling
in the run-off democratic primary
by 3,333 votes.
The official figures were: Mrs.
Ferguson, 476,074; Sterling, 472,741.
The committee adopted the tabula-
tion and certified the candidates to
the state convention.
C. I. Francis of Wichita Falls, a
Sterling partisan, acquiesced in the
report.
He said he believed there had been
“gross irregularities” in the voting
and requested that the official re-
turns be preserved under seal.
The total from Guadalupe county
was not included because there was
doubt about the accuracy of the re-
turns from that county.

BY COURT MARTIAL
Brownwood Bulletin: Illustrating
the need for some kind of reform in
the civil jury system is the case of
Lieut. H. C. Lichtenberger, Ai*my
officer, who was tried by a general
court martial the other day on a
(Philadelphia Public Ledger)
The French position regarding
Germany’s request for equality of
armament, as officially expressed to
Washington, coincides with that of
the United States as stated by Un-
dersecretary Castle. France points
out the danger to the cause of arm-
ament reduction, and between the
lines is to be read her fear of the
danger to her cherished “security.”
Especially ominous are the supple-
mentary declarations by Foreign
Minister von Neurath that Germany
will retire from the disarmament con-
ference unless her demand is granted
and by the Minister of Defense, Gen-
eral van Schleicher, that if formal
permission is denied Germany will
arm anyway. Their attitude is ex-
tremely grave when viewed in the
light of last Sunday’s demonstration
by the great army of Steel Helmets,
reviewed- by the von Papen Cabinet
and the former Crown Prince, and
the proof afforded that the old mil-
itarist crowd in Germany is back
in the saddle.
But unfortunately on its face
there is much logic in Germany’s at-
titude. The Allied Powers, in re-
Germany’s armament,

(Houston Chronicle).
There are in the United States to-
day millions of persons who feel that
some mysterious power at Washing-
ton can alleviate their every distress
and contribute to their every need.
It is natural for them to look to
their government for leadership in a
crisis such as we have just been wit-
nessing, but the unfortunate desire
of many is not leadership, but sup-
port. “They” at the national capital
can bring economic order out of
chaos, can bolster up the capitalistic
system by legal edict; can not only
create wealth, but can diffuse that
wealth among the citizens of the re-
public.
Needless to say, the functions of
government do not include the func-
tions of industry and never will in
the present existing social order.
There are no supermen in Washing-
ton. There is the president and
there is congress, servants of the
people, elected by the people, and
no greater than the people. We have
in America no economic dictator who
can with a single stroke of the pen

ANGMAGSALIK, Greenland, Sept.
13.—After a two-day search along
the east Greenland coast by avia-
tors and seamen, the Hutchinson
“flying family” was found today on
a beach less than 40 miles from here.
They had cracked up their Transat-
lantic plane in a treacherous reef-
filled Fjord.
The party of eight, including Geo.
R. Hutchinson, his wife and two lit-
tle daughters, were picked up by the
British trawler Lord Talbot, which
had been scouting around a position
given by the Hutchinsons in an SOS
call since Sunday afternoon.
Owners of the Lord Talbot in
Aberdeen, Scotland, said they re-
ceived a message that the eight cast-
aways had been landed safely and
the Lord Talbot had proceeded to
fishing grounds. Exchange telegraph
and Reuters dispatches said they
were landed at Finsbu, a Norwegian
station in east Greenland, which is
not shown in any standard Atlas.)
The British ship had reached the
point given bu Hutchinson in his last
distress call within four hours.
Hutchinson, a former Philadelphia
aviator, said a leaking gasoline tank
forced him to bring his plane down
Sunday while attempting to fly from
Julianehaab, at the southern tip of
Greenland to Angmagsalik.
His children and others in the
party were able to wade ashore and
reached the tiny Eskimo settlement
of Eker, whose few inhabitants were
preparing to abandon the place for
the winter.

Casady agreed to a conference and
said he gave her a reasonable amount

COLDWATER, Mich.—With the
death of H. P. Re of this city there
have been numerous claimants to the
distinction jof owning the jshortest
name in the country.
For a time W. F. Ek of Richmond,
Va., appeared to be the undisputed
owner of the shortest name. But
when the name of F. J. Ix of Char-
lottesville, Va., turned up, it re-
ceived the supoprt of linotype op-
erators on the grounds that it takes
a half an em less space to print the
latter’s name.
