ARIZONA LEAVES BEARING
HOOVER ON JAUNT SOUTH
U. S. S. ARIZONA, March 19.—
Herbert Hoover became a seagoing
President Thursday, with rest upper-
most in his mind until port is reach-
ed Monday.
tnfdrniallity prevailed aboard the
warship as soon as the captain had
greented the President, the gun salute
had been fired, the flag hoisted and
the national anthem sung. As the ship
headed oceanward the President and
Secretary of War Hurley strolled
along the rear deck for a while. Sec-
retary Wilbur joined them a little
later.
The three watched with interest as
the ship abandoned drill was begun,
with bluejackets and marines scurry-
ing and reporters ambling more slow-
ly to the positions assigned them in
cases of emergency.
For the first time in many months
the President was able to take a nap
bef or# lunch.
Navy Orchestra Plays.
It was a calm, sunlit afternoon. A
flock a gulls swept over and around
the United States destroyer Taylor, es-
cort for the Arizona. During meals a
section of the Washington Navy Or-
chestra played softly near the Presi-
dent’s table. A radiophone brought
news from Asheville, N. C., from Her-
bert Hoover Jr.
Medicine ball and deck tennis games
livened the party aboard the ship. At
night talking motion pictures were
shown for the first time aboard a bat-
tleship and there was a radioi concert.
The President and his guests spent
part of the afternoon getting acquain-
ted and inspecting with interest the
work done to modernize the battle-
ship, including added armor on the
sides, blister work protection against
bombs and torpedoes and a number of
other details.
Officers of the ship said they were
pleased with the trial results thus far.
Two hundred and fifty enlisted men
are to be transferred to the Arizona
from the battleship Mississippi at
Ponce, raising the Arizona’s personnel
close to normal complement of 1,239
men.
HOUSE VOTES TO A. & M.
PART OF TEXAS U. FUND
AUSTIN, March 19.—Mrs. Lee J.
Rountree, representative from Bryan,
celebrated her birthday Thursday by
making her maiden speech on the |
floor of the house. Moreover, the j
bill she spoke for, giving A. & M. J
College one-third of the Texas Uni-1
jvtdrsity available ;fund, finally was |
passed by the house. The vote was i
106 to 4.
The senate also passed an identical
measure by Senator Charles Gainer of
Bryan, so there is no doubt of its
reaching the governor for his signa-
ture.
The house bill was introduced by
Representative Holder of Lancaster,
chairman of the education committee,
and others. It provides that for the
biennium of 1931-1933 A. & M. shall
receive $200^000 a year from the fund.
Thereafter the college would get one-
third.
Mrs. Rountree told the house A. &
M. College had been founded by sta-
tue before the university opened; that
it later was made a branch of the
university that it might participate
in the available fund, but had never
received any of the fund.
The measure was recommended by
both the A. & M. board. of directors
and the University of Texas regents.
Representative Joseph McGill of El
Paso opposed the bill on the ground
that the two institutions were in effect
separate schools and their affairs
should be kept separate. *
The bill now goes to the senate.

(Dallas News)
'Representative Dowell has intro-
duced a joint resolution providing for
a referendum respecting a convention
to frame a new Constitution for Texas.
He would have it composed of 181
delegates and would have a committee
of fifteen appointed, serving without
pay, to study needed changes and to
report these to the convention.
The experience of other States is
against having so large a convention.
Forty persons signej the national
document in 1787 and reported out a
remakable Constitution. A large con-
vention is a mob, not a deliberative
body. A body of thirty-one, or at the
most sixty-two, would consist of well-
known and thoughtful citizens who, as
elected delegates, would ,voice fairly
the wishes of their constituents. A
small convention would give better
results at far less expense.
An unpaid commission of fifteen
persons to prepare recommendations
would be futile. The convention is the
responsible body and must itself decide
what should be inserted in the re-
vised Constitution. A commission,
knowing in advance that little atten-
tion might be given to its work, would
presumably serve in a perfunctory
manner, having neither time nor in-
clination to do thorough service under
such circumstances. . '
If a commission were desired, the
fifteen leading candidates having the
largest pluralities might be authoriz-
ed to meet thirty days before the date
set for the convention, to work out a
preliminary organization and to pre-
pare and to receive suggestions for
constitutional changes.
It is most important that, if a con-
stitutional convention is authorized at
all, it should be so organized as to
do efficient work, quietly and without
wrangling, wordy debates. This can
best be accomplished by a small body,
a sort of round-table conference,
where the many suggestions for
change could be handled with method
and intelligence.

GAINESVILLE, Tex., March 19.—
Capt. Tom R. Hickman of the Texas
Rangers paid a fine of $1 and costs,
amounting to $14.65, in justice of the
peace court here last night, for sim-
ple assault.
The complaint was prepared by
County Attorney William C. Culp and
charged that Hickman “unlawfully”
committed an assault upon Ate Reece
“by then and there striking the said
Ate Reece with his fists.”
County officers said the fight oc-
curred on the courthouse lawn yes-
terday afternoon. Immediately after
ward, Hickman went to the olfice of
Sheriff Bert Browning and paid a fine
for simple assault.
Reece retired as sheriff of Cooke
County last January' 1, having been
appointed to fill the unexpired term of
the late Jake Wright.

Ranger Says Justified.
Austin, Tex., March 19.—Ranger
Capt. Tom Hickman stated to.day he
was amply justified both in having
a fight with former Sheriff Ate Reece
at Gainesville yesterday and in having
the latter’s commission as a special
Ranger revoked.
Hickman said Reece was guilty o
certain conduct which gave the Ranger
captain a just grievance, but it was
nothing he could take into court.
Hickman said he requested that
Reece be not fined in connection with
the fight.
C. D. SEYBOLD SELECTED TO RE-
ORGANIZE CITY NATIONAL BANK
(Temple Telegram)
C. D. Seybold late yesterday was
selected to head the reorganization
of the City National bank and plans
were put under way to reopen the
bank at an early date.
Mr. Seybold, identified with Bell
county banking institutions for more
than 25 years, tendered his resigna-
tion as vice-president and cashier of
the Farmers State bank to accept the
task of reorganizing the City Na-
tional.
His resignation will become effec-
tive within the next week or 10 days,
at the convenience of A. L. Flint,
president of the Farmers State bank,
Mr. Seybold said.
Co-operation Assured.
No indication of when the bank will
reopen was given. Mr. Seybold stated
the doors would be reopened at as
early a date as the work of reorgani-
zation could be completed.
“After a great deal of hesitation I
have finally concluded to accept the
task of reorganizing the City National
bank,” fo. Seybold declared.
“I realize that it is not an easy
task, but a federal receivership of
this bank would result in the bank-
rupting of many businesses in Temple
which owe the bank, in heavy losses
to the stockholders and heavy losses
to the depositors, and would be a
calamity from which this community
would not recover within five or even
10 years.
Will Take Time.
“I have been assured of the active
cooperation of the stockholders and
depositors and of the public as well,
and if I receive such cooperation, we
will be able within a reasonable time
to reopen the bank for business.
“The public must not be deceived,
however, that this can be accomplish-
ed over night or by letting the other
fellow put up all the money and do
all the work. Of course, I shall try
