Senate Passes Seven Bills in
War on Crime.
WASHINGTON.—The senate struck
out Thursday at gangsters and rack-

strengthen the federal government’s
hand in fighting crime. Seven bills,
tightening up the federal laws regu-
lating crime, were passed by unani-
mous agreement and sent to the
house. They were all recommended
by Attorney General Cummings.

Chagrin will, as may be expected,
be encouraged by the officers at the
State Prison, and in this they will be
joined by Sheriff Loessin of Fayette
county and his able and* efficient dep-
uties. These little country officers
sought, by handling Hamilton in the
right manner, to teach the “well-in-
formed” officers, but their teaching
seems to not have had much influence.
Hamilton, who boasted that the pri-
son walls would not hold him, carries
on his robbing practice, and strange
to say, manages to escape the clutch-

Pearson Hill gave her prescription
for longevity Friday as she observed
her 106th birthday. “If people want
to live to an old age,” she said, “they
should do as much or more work than
I have. The younger generation think
they have an automobile to go any-

Houston Girl Refuses to Let Opera -
tion Halt Wedding for Easter.
HOUSTON.—Miss Janie Boyle, 16-
year-old Houston girl, didn’t let a
little thing like an operation for ap-
pendicitis interfere with her plans to
be married Saturday. She promised
to love, honor and obey Walton May-
field, 27-year-old machinist, while ly-
ing on a bed in a clinic here where
she is recuperating from the opera-
tion. Nurses decorated the room with
flowers, a huge wedding cake was
baked and the wedding went off as
happily as if it had been in Notre
Dame Cathedral. There was one
minor disappointment, though—she
couldn’t wear the finery she had
planned to be married in.

Hope, held out by the present wi-
dow, parents and brothers and friends
of the City Secretary of LaGrange,
John R. Spacek, were blasted Monday
morning, when the news was circu-
lated that “Johnnie Spacek had died!”
The news was unwelcome, as Johnnie
had many friends in LaGrange, and
was popular with all claases.
John Spacek was the eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. John Spacek, Sr., and
was born and reared in LaGrange,
graduated from the LaGrange High
School, and grew to manhood here;
after acquiring his majority he ac-
cepted a position with the John
Schuhmacher State Bank as book-
keeper, which position he held for
several years, later entering the in-
surance business which he continued
to practice until his illness of several
weeks since. He was prevailed upon
four years ago to enter the race for
City Secretary of LaGraiVge, and was
elected by a handsome majority. His
announcement for re-election to the
office was made a month ago.
Becoming alarmingly ill on Friday,
March 16, he entered the LaGrange
Hospital as a patient, and submitted
to a surgical operation for bowel ob-
struction Saturday, March 17. Given
the best possible attention, complica-
tions arose despite the successful sur-
gical act, and fighting to the last, he
crossed over Monday morning. He is
mourned by his young widow, nee
Miss Gladys Koester, and his parents
and brothers August II., and Arnold
Spacek of LaGrange, and a host of
friends.
The death of this prominent young
man, whose age was 30 years and 6
months, is the third to occur in the
Spacek family; two daughters died
from the effects of typhoid fever
September 1903, two months before
Johnnie was born.
Tuesday afternoon the funeral was
held from the residence of Mr. and
Mrs, J. F. Van Horn, with Rev. R.
Heise of LaGrange and Rev. Horak
of Caldwell officiating. .Interment
was held at the new cemetery. The
LaGrqnge Fire Department, of which
he was a member, had its committee
present, and Chaplain B. F. Harigel
spoke at the open grave.
The Journal joins the friends of the
two families in offering sincere sym-
pathy.
Select The School
Trustees as You
Select Officials
NRA Administrator
At Schulenburg
Thursday Night
The Journal is in receipt of an in-
vitation from the Schulenburg Cham-
ber of Commerce, to be present, at
Sengelmann’s Hall, Thursday night,
April 5, at 8:00 o’clock, to hear Fed-
eral Administrator Tutt, who comes
to our neighboring city to talk on the
workings of the NRA. The invita-
tion also embodies the request to give
publicity to the event, and urge all
business men of LaGrange, to be
present.
Administrator Tutt, speaking at
Schulenburg, is an opportunity that
cannot and should not be ignored by
the business men of LaGrange. and
the other cities and towns within
traveling distance. What the speaker
will have to say will prove to be of
interest to them, and will probably
help them to solve some of the prob-
lems that they have been annoyed
with since the NRA went into effect.
While the invitation is for the busi-
ness men of LaGrange, others will
also be welcome. Small town mer-
chants who may feel they are not
affected by the NRA operations, will
find Mr. Tutt willing and ready to ex-
plain to them what is expected of
them and how they will be benefitted.
This is timely notice; and coming
at this late hour, will not be forgot-
ten as readily as it would be if given
a week earlier. Schulenburg is only
a half hour drive from LaGrange, and
going to our neighboring city will not
be an interference with your regu-
lar routine. Attend this speaking.
Next Saturday school trustees are
to be elected over Fayette county,
with one trustee at large, R. T. Iluet-
tel of LaGrange, who has been serv-
ing in that capacity for some time,
and who has had the interest of the
district schools at heart.
Trustees of your public school are
important officials, and they should
have the future welfare of your
school and the school children at
heart. To the Journal a school trus-
tee is regarded as highly as any coun-
ty official, even if the salary fades
into nothingness.
Unless the one selected to serve as
a trustee is interested in the little
school of his district, he will not give
the service for its success. Selection
of a teacher and looking after the
comforts of the little children and the
giving of support to the teacher, is
very essential.
It is history and not to be disputed,
that there is ever a small vote cast
at these school trustee elections. One
must conclude therefore, that the pa-
trons of the school are not interested,
or they are contented to “let the oth-
er fellow take care of the job.” It is
also noted, later, than when things
do not run right, the trustees are
blamed, and the blame charge gen-
erally comes from the one who sel-
domly finds time to go to the polls
and vote.
Next Saturday trustees will be
elected; if you are a voter who reads
this, accept the suggestion that you
go and vote, and elect the man who
aspires to the position of trustee. If
he has no opposition, vote him in and
let him entertain the idea that the
parents want him to serve.
AFTER MORE BUSINESS
Mark Smith, general agent for the
Missouri-KansaB-Texas Transporta-
tion Company—the old reliable Katy
—with offices at Dallas, was in the
city last Monday and was “ateered”
about the business section by Agent
F. W. Scharnberg. “Thing* are look-
ing some better for the railroad busi-
ness,” said Mr. Smith, “but there is
still a deficit.” Which is true. The
Journal editor found the gentleman,
agreeable, and because the two of us
could scrap with consistency and good
will, we got along fine. He is a good
railroad man.
Gilbert Addicka of Port Arthur vis-
ited with his mother, Mrs. Anna
Willrich, Easter Sunday. Upon his
return he was accompanied by Ben-
jamin Harigel, who remained for sev-
eral days on business.
M. F. Eichler And
Miss Mary Murray
Offer Resignations
M. F. Eichler, member of the facul-
ty of the High School, and Miss Mary
Lou Murray, Typing and Short-
hand, offered their resignations to the
tion, offered their resignations to the
Bsterdi of Trustees of the LftGjange
Independent School District, Wednes-
day. Both resignations were accep-
ted. The Board has selected Floyd
Ferguson of Floresville to succeed Mr.
Eichler, and Miss Ellice Hudson of
Austin to succeed Miss Murray.
Good selections, both of them. Mr.
Eichler, so the Journal is informed,
will engage in the wholesale grocery
business at Brenham, having pur-
chased an interest in an established
firm. Miss Murray has gone to San
Antonio where she has accepted a po-
sition with the Security and Abstract
Company of that city. She was a for-
mer employe of that company before
entering the Pearsall school as a
teacher, and last, year coming to La-
Grange. The Journal wishes them
success in their new homes.
Floyd Ferguson, who succeeds Mr.
Eichler, comes to LaGrange with flat-
tering recommendations, at the age of
18 years he graduated from the
Floresville High School, and the fol-
lowing September, entered college to
prepare himself for his chosen pro-
fession.
Miss Hudson is a graduate of the
State University, was in the Business
Administration department at the
Edna High School for four years, and
also served as a substitute teacher in
the State University.

Hermann Michael
Wednesday afternoon of last week,

at his home three miles from War-
renton, from gun shot wound. The
gun was fired by his own hand. Note
left by the unfortunate man, stated
he was responsible for the deed.
Cause of the rash act is not known,
private information gives little to in-
form the public, although it is said
that he had been despondent for some
time, and that his despondency was
the result of domestic troubles. He is
survived by three brothers, these are:
Chas. of LaGrange, Route 6; Otto of
Round Top, Route No. 2; William of

(Ida) Wessels of Walhalla.

Winchester Girl
Makes Honor Roll
Baylor University
(See Dual Track Meet, Page 6)
CAME TO BE WITH HIS
SICK FRIEND
Miss Mary Louise
Chester, sophomore in Baylor Univer-
sity, made the university’s honor roll
for the winter quarter, according to
an announcement by Dr.»W. S. Allen,
vice-president and dean. To achieve
this distinction it is necessary for a
student to make a grade of B plus,
equivalent to a percentage of from
86 to 91, on all courses taken. Every
student making the roll receives a
personal letter of congratulation from
the dean. Miss Hart graduated from
the LaGrange High School in 1932.
The Journal congratulates this young
woman, who is a Fayette county girl,
reared at Winchester.
Dawning dismally, after a few
hours the sun shone in its glory and
Easter Sunday proved to be an ideal
day for LaGrange and her citizens.
Many homes welcomed the visitors,
absent children were here to enjoy
the day with their parents.
Church services were held in ail of
the churches of the city and the at-
tendance was very good. Fashion
had it* day also, and new styles were
to be seen. With the majority of the
male population, however, the light
winter suit was agreeable, as the
morning was chilly.
Monday afternoon, generally termed
second day of Easter, the courthouse
was closed and business houses, ex-
cepting drug stores and garages,
closed their doors.
W. O. Gibson of Cameron, came to
LaGrange, Sunday to be with his
friend of many years, Johnnie Spa-
cek, City Secretary. At the LaGrange
Hospital where the patient was wag-
ing a losing fight/ Mr. Giboon sat,
and through the midnight hour of
Sunday and thereafter, he remained,
until the fight was over, and Johnnie,
no longer suffering, slipped away and
spoke no more.
Friends arp what honorable men
encourage; Mr. Gibson lives at Cam-
eron, he liked the young man who
had been his friend for years; he
came when the surgical pruning was
deemed necessary, and he came after
that. Sunday, experiencing a feeling
that only the sincere can, he saw his
fi-iend slipping, he remained until the
struggle was over and peaceful and
everlasting sleep came.
Such is but one of many incidents
of life; but they are ever worth men-
tioning.
F. W; Koehler and family, Misses
Stella and Elvira Amberg and Mr.
and Mrs. John Blume of Houston
were the guests of relatives hero for
Eamter.
MEDICINE SHOW GONE
Free shows ever attract; during the
past week one of these wandering
troupes held forth the entire week at
the Frede lot, comer Jefferson and
Travis street, and nightly drew large
crowds. Half block distant, services
were held in the Lutheran church by
Rev. R. Heise, on Thursday and Fri-
day nights, when the Lord’s supper
was given to several hundred mem-
bers of the church. How the pastor
managed to keep his mind on his mes-
sage and the congregation as well,
during the yelling of the vendor and
cracked trombone playing on the va-
cant lot is beyond the conception of
many. But the woman who sold the
medicine and the actor who furnished
the amusement raked in the sheckels.
How would you like to have a noise
of the kind these shows make, in front
of your home, nightly for a week 7
Especially during Holy Week?
Walter Mueller, attending business
college in Dallas, visited with his
ents Mr. and Mrt. L» Mueller,
the Easter season.
