SPECIAL SESSION TO PASS AID
LAWS CALLED NECESSARY
Port's news
AUSTIN, June 23.—A special ses-
sion of the Texas legislature to re-
lax the anti-trust laws to permit
Texas business institutions to take
part in the national recovery pro-
gram is necessary and probably will
be called in the near future, Law-
rence Westbrook, state director of
relief, said Friday.
Westbrook said that in his opinion
the session should be called as soon
after the national recovery director
had obtained codes governing the na-
tion’s industry as possible. He said
he thought late in July would be the
proper time and that he does not
favor waiting until after the voters
have passed on the relief bond issue
to be voted on August 26.
The relief director said the state
commission has received proposals
for relief projects calling for expen-
diture of $272,828,426.
He offered the assistance of the
state relief body to local communi-
ties in preparing requests for funds
for work to be done under the na-
tional recovery act.
(By Moulton Cobb)
Thd Legion and the Firemen finish-
ed the first half of the season in a
ie when the Firemen won their game
last night against the Bankers. In
the second game the Public Utility
Learn won a free hitting contest with
the Merchants.
A team that deserves to be com-
mended for their good sportsmanship
and hustle through the first half oi
me season is the Producers Pro-
luce, under the guidance of George
Boswell. Although his team did not
mish »at the top, Manager J. H.
Clark of the Producers has every
reason to be proud of his boys.
The New York Giants are getting
about the best pitching any team
in the majors has received in sev-
eral years. Carl Hubbell turned in
his fourth shut out o.f the season
yesterday, while Hal Schumacher
has already pitched five shut outs.
The team has defeated the opposi-
.ion by blanking them 11 times this
year. Last year Pittsburgh shut out
the opposition more times than any
other club in the national league with
only 12.
The American league race is be-
coming a nip and tuck affair between
he Yanks and Washington. It was
expected that New York would make
a runaway chase of it, and their fail-
are too, doubtless will continue to swell
he gate receipts in the other seven
American league cities.
Ernest Koy, former University of
Texas star athlete, is playing with
Durham in the Piedmont league.
This is a loop about like the Dixie
sague. Ernest has not been doing
much hitting, but his speech has at-
racted the attention of everyone in
hat vicinity.
An ardent athletic fan, Col. Alvin
M. Owsley of Dallas, has been ap-
pointed American minister to Ru-
mania. Colonel Owsley is a former
national commander of the American
Legion. Two summers ago the writ-
er went to Toronto, Canada, on the
:ame special train with Commander
Owsley and his charming wife. Col.
Owsley, who is one of the best pub-
lic speakers in the country, said that
he had spoken in every city of the
United States of more than 100,000
population. He also has visited every
principal nation of the world, and
should make a splendid representative
for this government.
The Philadelphia Nationals, who
had been tossed around in the na-
tional league like a football, have
now won six straight games. They
made a good trade when they swap-
ped Pinkey Whitney and Hal Lee to
the Boston Braves for infielder Fritz
Knothe and outfielder Schulmerich
and $50,000 to boot. Since the ac-
quisition of the new men they have
been playing invincibly.
Rev. Mr. Avant says that he is
anxious to play ball in the indoor
league in the second half. He was
so busy in the first half that he did
not get to play. He announces that
tomorrow in his sermons he is going
to give two “shocking” sermons, which
should warm him up well for his
baseball playing.
Rev. Wentworth Riemann is going
to leave tonight for Madison, Wis.,
to attend a preachers’ conference.
He will stop by Chicago on his return
and see several baseball games. He
used to spend his summers in Cin-
cinnati and see his fhvorite team, the
Reds, play quite often.
Two girls’ teams played an inter-
esting game of indoor baseball here
last night before a large crowd. The
girls did not knock any home runs,
but slammed out some triples and
gave a very good exhibition of the
national pastime.

BOYS CAPTURED AND
CHARGED WITH MURDER
The writer of this column was pre-
sented with a box of 50 of his choice
brand of cigars this morning by the
Leader office. We doubt if this
little column is worth much to the
Leader, but we certainly appreciate
the kindness of Editor Abney. Noth-
ing helps anyone quite so much as
an act of thoughtfulness. You can
catch more flies with molasses than
vinegar.
ALL EFFORTS FUTILE TO
FIND MATTERN’S SHIP
GATESVILLE, June 23.—F our
70Uths who escaped from the refor-
matory here Wednesday night were
held in jail today to await further
court action on charges of murder in
connection with the slaying of W. J.
Leonard, prison blacksmith, just be-
fore they gained their freedom.
Caught near Meridian, they were
’•eturned to the Coryell county jail
where the charges previously had
been filed. . The next term of court
will be in J.uly.
Grady Applegate and Williard Scott
vere captured early today near Mor-
gan after bloodhounds had picked up
he scent from a bloody handkerchief
vhieh had been used to bind Scott’s
hand, hurt when a constable fired at
he boys several hours after they
escaped.
James Anderson and Clarence
Raines, tracked down yesterday and
held in the Bosque county jail at
Meridian until today, told of Scott’s
njury and said, it was inflicted by
one of two shot the constable fired
'n a futile effort to halt their es-
cape.
Reformatory officials were of the
opinion that Leonard was killed when
he resisted the boys’ attempt to re-
lieve him of his automobile keys
He was beaten with an axe and died
an hour after the four fled north in
his car. They abandoned the ma-
chine near Meridian when it became
overheated and started out on foot,
ft was the abandoned car which tip-
ped a large posse to the boys’ where-
abouts.
TEXAN GETS LIFE TERM UNDER
HABITUAL CRIMINAL STATUTE
FORT WORTH, June 23.—A 56-
rear-old man must spend the rest of
his life behind prison bars because
of a forgery.
In signing a jury waiver in Crim-
inal district court here today, Dan
Vrnett, the defendant, automatically
accepted a life term in the peniten-
tiary under the habitual criminal act.
He had been charged with forgery
and passing and repetition of offense
three times.
He was charged with forging a
check for $250, drawn on a Ballin-
ger bank and passing it at a Fort
Worth pdwn shop on May 3. Pre-
vious convictions were: June, 1925, in
Coleman County, passing a forged
nstrument; September 1925, in Lam-
pasas County, passing a forged in-
strument; March, 1928, in Brown
County, forgery.

HOME OF COL. LINDBERGH
TO BE“WELFARE CENTER
Try a Want Ad in The Daily Leader.
TOKIO, June 3.—All efforts to find
a trace of James Mattern, missing
Texas world flier, had proved futile
tonight, aviation officials reported
here.
The flier has not been heard from
since he left Khabarovsk in Eastern
Siberia, for Nome, Alaska, two weeks
ago, on the most hazardous phase of
his effort to fly around the wprld
alone.
Vague signals heard in the Bering
aea area were said to have come from
a Russian ship.
HOPEWELL, N. J., June 23.—The
Sourland Mountain home which Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh built for his
bride, the former Anne Morrow, and
from which their first son, Charles
Augustus Lindbergh Jr., was kidnap-
ed, is to become a center for child-
ren’s welfare work.
The 500-acre estate with its lively
white stone house, built in the style
of French farm houses, and lying in
a mountainous region, steeped in leg-
ends, will be operated by a corpora-
tion, papers for which were filed with
Gustav Bach, Hudson County clerk,
in Jersey City, Friday. The prop-
erty will be known as “High Field.”
Details of the transfer could not
be learned. The office of Col. Henry
L. Breckenridge, legal advisor to Col.
Lindbergh, issued the following
statement:
“The property of Col. and Mrs.
Charles A. Lindbergh in Hunterdon
County, New Jersey, will be used in
connection with welfare work for
children. 3
“The project has not developed
with sufficient definiteness to date to
admit an announcement of the speci-
fic plans.”
Whether Colonel and Mrs. Lind-
bergh have made the property a gift
or are receiving a price for it was
not learned. The Hunterdon County
clerk said no transfer papers had
been filed in his office.
In the incorporation papers filed in
Hudson County James M. Phelan is
listed as statutory agent.
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh and
Dr. Abraham Flexner, educator; Col-
onel Breckenridge and Owen R. Love-
joy are listed as trustees. The pa-
pers state High Field has been in-
corporated “to provide for the wel-
fare of children, including their edu-
cation, training, hospitalization, or
other allied purposes, without dis-
crimination in regard to race or
creed.”

EARLY MYSTERY TIDE
DRIVES CAMPERS OFF
GALVESTON BEACH
GALVESTON,. Texas, June 22.—
What caused the sudden rise in tide
that drove campers off the beach here
early Thursday morning remains a
mystery to Weather and- Hydro-
graphic Bureau officials here.
An earthquake or a landslide on
rapidly about 3 a. m. and receded
just as fast. However, seismographs
at St. Louis and Little Rock fail to
record any temblors.
Weather conditions prior to and at
the time of the phenomenon were
in no way responsible, according to
United States Meteorologist I. C.
Plummer. The water merely rose
suddenly, lapping oveA the dry beach
sand for several hundred yards in
some spots. The gulf had been calm
the floor of the gulf is supposed to
have brought about the tide that rose | and there was no wind of consequence.
No damage was reported, although
fences near the portions of Lhe beach
frequented by campers were decorat-
ed with bed clothes and other camping
paraphernalia that took an unexpect-
ed ducking.
People in the permanent-type tour-
ist camps and Galvestonians gener-
ally knew nothing of the disturbance
until daybreak, when they saw pools
and water marks left by the high tide.

TWISTER CAUSES LOSS
IN EAST TEXAS
MARSHALL, June 22.—The sec-
ond recent twister in the vicinity of
Marshall struck today at Woodlawn,
10 miles north of Marshall, demolish-
ing N. R. Blevins’ workshop and sev-
eral outbuildings. Blevins fled from
the structure an instant before it
collapsed. No injuries were reported.
The twister cut a swath a quarter
of a mile long, uprooting trees and
denuding the area of vegetation.
