BOB SCHULER’S CHURCH
DAMAGED BY BOMB
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26.—A black
powder bomb was thrown against the
side of Trinity Methodist Church,
South, early today and broke several
windows in the church and surround-
ing rooming houses.
Police said the bomb apparently
had been thrown from an automobile.
The bombing, police said, was re-
taliation for radio statements made
by the pastor, the Rev. Robert P.
Shuler, whose utterances have caused
him considerable notoriety. Last week
the radio commission granted Rev. Mr.
Shuler’s station, KGEF, a 30-day per-
mit pending an investigation.
Rev. Mr. Shuler has been active in
city and state politics, as well as
with the bench and bar. On several
occasions he was cited for contempt
of coprt, and twice convicted.

congregation by whistling while tak-

versary service of the church, were
restored to good social standing to-
day when the pastor, Rev. Duane B.
Aldrich explained their strange be-
havior.
The pastor instructed the ushers

GANGSTER JAILED TO AVERT
SLAYING BY CAPONE THUGS
CHICAGO, Oct. 26.—George “Bugs”
Moran,# orphan of the underworld,
gangster without a gang, was jailed
tonight by kindly authorities who hop-
ed thereby to keep him from being
murdered.
He was arrested at a Bluff Lake
resort, hurriedly arraigned in special
court session on charges of vagrancy
this afternoon, and then lodged in
the safe, if somewhat uncomfortable,
jail at Waukegan, north of Chicago,
in lieu of $20,000 bond.
To Save His Life.
Col. A. V. Smith, state’s attorney,
asked the high bond so Moran would
be assured of remaining alive in jail
instead of following the deadly trail
all the other enemies of “Searface Al”
Capone have taken.
While the hard-boiled Moran fretted
and grumbled in his cell, the body of
his millionaire partner, Joe Aiello, lay
in state in Chicago, in a $11,200 sil-
ver-bronze casket. Funeral directors
obliterated as best they could the 72
machine gun bullet holes which had
riddled the body.
Moran was morose. He knew noth-
ing about the murder of Aiello by
two nests of machine-gunners in Chi-
cago last week, he said.
“Aiello was a double-crosser,”
Moran explained. “I kicked him out
about eight months ago and I haven’t
seen him since.”
When a detective asked Moran if
he were “satisfied” over the slaying,
Moran smiled.
State Treasurer W. Gi*egory Hatch-
er, outlines his objections to the
amendment to be voted on in Novem-
ber 4, affecting disposition of Univer-
sity of Texas funds. It follows in full.
“Every voter who is a true friend
of the University of Texas should
‘swat’ senate joint resolution No. 7,
amending the constitution so as to
permit the board of regents of the
University of Texas to invest the per-
manent funds of that institution in
‘obligations and pledges issued by the
board of regents of the University of
Texas, or secured by such obligations
and pledges, for the construction of
dormitories and other buildings for
the use of the University of Texas.”
“In my opinion that is the most un-
sound and unsafe delegation of power
to a board of political appointees ever
submitted for the people of Texas to
vote upon. The constitution pi'ovides
that the lands left to the University
of Texas, and funds derived from the
sale of such lands, shall remain a pei’-
petual endowment for the benefits of
the youth of Texas so that Texas
might always have a great institution
of learning; and the constitution fur-
ther provides that all monies accruing
in the permanent fund shall be in-
vested in none but safe securites.
“This proposal gives to the board
of regents the power to invest the per-
manent funds in ‘obligations and
pledges’ of their own ci’eation, with-
out any limitations or restrictions, ex-
cept, that the funds are to be used
‘for the construction of dormitories
and other buildings for the use of the
University of Texas.’ It does not even
restrict the location of the buildings
to Austin, but permits the expenditure
on buildings in any part of the state
where it is claimed that they are to
be used for the university, or any in-
stitution claiming to be a branch of
the university.
“This power, in the hands of im-
prudent regents, is in effect the power
to dissipate. If this change should be
made in the constitution it would per-
mit and indeed, encourage, an orgy of
extravagance and waste which could
lead, ultimately, to the dissipation of
the endowment fund. In the proposed
amendment there are provisions safe-
guarding the investment of the fund in
other than government bonds, to which
no objection is made, but as so often
happens with special legislation, the
zeal and enthusiasm of its proponents
lead them to extremes of folly, and the
unsound and dangerous provision in
the proposed amendment above refer-
red to makes it urgent that the voters
vote against Resolution No. 7.
“This is not meant as a reflection
upon the integrity of any or one or any
group, but is intended for the good of
Texas and its state university, and
to save the state and that institution
from the folly which such a change
in our constitution would bring on us.”
AUSTIN, Oct. 24.—Cotton acreage
reduction through more general diver-
sification instead of a law to compel
reduction was the remedy suggested
here Fx*iday in a conference between
Gov. Dan Moody and Harry Williams
and Lawrence Westbrook of the Fed-
exral Farm Board at Dallas, together
with a representative of A. & M.
College.
This program does not contemplate
a special session of the Legislature but
a campaign of education to produce
greater diversified crops.
According to the plan discussed
more land would be poit to feedstuff
and more livestock raised with a cor-
responding decrease in the cotton
acx-eage.
An appeal may be made later to
bring this about in the cotton pro-
ducing ax*eas and thus bx-ing relief
to the farmers who have been over-
burdened with cotton px'oduction uxi-
der low prices. This would give the
consuming world an oppoi'tunity to
take up sux^plus cottoji and better
the price.
If other cotton-growing states
should fail or refuse to fall into line
the cotton gi*owers there would con-
tinue to feel the pinch of low prices
while Texas farmers who diversified
would reap the benefits. This, it was
pointed out, is an incentive to Texas
fax-mers to reduce their cotton aci-e-
age and plant other crops independent
of what is done in other states.

Mothers with small, hard-
playing youngsters are particularly
grateful for Maytag helpfulness.
They don’t worry if play clothes be-
come badly soiled because the New
Maytag washes them clean, and in
marvelously quick time . .. washes
them carefully, without hand-rub-
bing. The new-type roller water re-
mover spares the buttons ... there is
less mending and the clothes last
longer.

WHY THE COURT AMENDMENT?
Daily Leader 3 months for $1.00
Why the court amendment? Why
the necessity of its adoption on Nov.
4 by the qualified voters of Texas?
George B. Terrell is commissioner of
agriculture. He has served many
terms. He was a lawmaker before he
was commissioner. He will be a law-
maker as a member of the house of
the coming session of the 42nd legis-
lature. He was bonx on a farm. He
was raised on a faim. He worked as
a farmer. He has never ceased to
to be a farmer. Well, pex-mit Fax*mer
Terrell to tell why the amendment
should be adopted:
“The constitution now px'ovides that
the supreme court shall sit for the
transaction of business from the first
Monday in October of eacli year until
the Last Saturday in June of the next
year. This makes the compulsory va-
cation of three months in which no
business can be transacted. The
amendment provides that the supreme
court may sit at any time during the
year. This clothes the court with pow-
er to act at any time, i*egai’dless of
vacations the court may take, while
the court cannot act now upon any

case, ,no matter how important, dur-
ing these months of the year.”
Farmer Terrell shoots his messages
in the simple language of the plain
people. He never talks over the heads
of his fellow men. His conclusion,
“This amendment is certainly a gx-eat
impi'ovement and should be adopted by
a unanimous vote. There can be no
reasonable opposition to it.” The voter
should undei’stand that it does not in-
crease the number of judges, adds no
expense to the taxpayer and gives the
court authority to act at any time
while now they cannot legally tran-
sact any business dux-ing thx-ee months
of the year. Then why not a continu-
ous court? Why not, a supreme eoui't
that can act at any time?—Waco

BAYLOR AND A. & M. “MAKE-UP’
COLLEGE STATION, Oct. 26.—Re-
sumption of athletic relations between
Texas A. and M. college and Baylor
university, sevei’ed in the fall of 1926,
was authorized in a joint statement
signed by President T. O. Walton of
A. and M. and President S. P. Bx-ooks
of Baylor and announced here today.
Athletic teams from the two insti-
tutions have not met since their foot-
ball game at Waco four year's ago,
which was followed -by a student clash.
Thex-e was no indication today when
the first game between the schools
would be scheduled, but negotiations
between the athletic councils of the
schools are expected to get under way
at once. It was considered probable
Baylor and A. and M. football teams
might meet next fall.
