DHINGS hapj>ened so fast in the
hotel project yesterday afternoon
that the boys in The Herald office edi
torial rooms ran around like a chicken
with its head cut off for a while.
Early in the day a story was prepared
and put into type to the effect that
Percy Tyrrell of San Antonio and his
associates had taken under advisement
the propositi011 of building a hotel in
Brownsville. There was nothing to do
but wait for developments. It was
thought that story would hold’ for the
day.
However, the paper had been “tipped
•off” earlier that there was another deal
afoot which might beat Mr. Tyrrell and
gnd his associates to the hotel even
though they were willing to build it.
But the editors of the paper thought
they had “the story on ice” for the
next day—today. However it was
“busted” at the Rotary Club meeting
at 1:30 o’clock Wednesday afternoon by
Sim Tucker, and a representative of
The Herald at the meeting, four miles
from town, almost went crazy in bis
effort to get into telephone communica
tion with the office, tell them to
“dump” the earlier story and get at
least a bulletin on the fact that the
contract for a hotel had been closed.
T:mo was short, as The Herald goes
f t press at 2 o'clock. Of course, the
storv came out on schedule, with the
assistance of Mr. Tucker, Mr. James and
Mr. Dickinson.

Brownsville is fully appreciative of
the interest of Percy Tyrrell of San
Antonio. H. Josey. also of San An
tonio, an<l J. B. Charles of Oklahoma,
in coming here to investigate the pos
sibilities of a hotel. While these
gentlemen d'd not definitely commit
themselves, they left the impression
among those who talked with them that
they looked with favor on the proposi
tion. However, things were fast com
ing to a head on the hotel project from
another direction, Messrs. I,ee B. .Tame-'
and A. D. Dickinson, and a deal with
th em was closed. The hotel committee ]
had accepted the poliev that the first
man to make a satisfactory proposition
we-ld be dealt with.
So we get the hotel.

eration a modern two-story building for
4he:r store. Its cost will not be undet

The crowded condition of the public
schools of Brownsville presages the
erection of at least one new building
and possibly additions to one or two
ot hers.

DR. SUN, CHINA’S
NAN OF DESTINY,
DIES AT PEKING
Leader Was Identified
With All Public Life
of Country; Opposed
Central Government
(By The Associated Press.)
. PEKING, March 12.—Dr. Sun Yut Sen,
upon whose head the Manchu dynasty
fixed a price of $200,000 when Dr. Sun
was campaigning for a republic in
China, died here today from cancer of
the liver. He was *>.'{ years old.
Called "China's man of destiny" by
many, Dr. Sun was identified with al
most every phase of public life in his
country. He was first president of the
republic created in 11H2, and in recent
years he had maintained an administra
tion, styled the southern government
of China, at Canton. In his declining
years he opposed the' central govern
ment .at Peking. Dr. Sun was stricken
when he arrived here late in January as
a delegate to a conference having for
its purpose the unification of China,
At his death bed Dr. Sun was sur
rounded by members of his family and
several leaders in the Sun Yut Sen
party, who were attracted to Peking by
the approaching death of tt.eir leader.
"I want to be embalmed like my friend
Lenine, the Russian leader," said Dr.
Sun just before he died. He asked also
that he be buried at Nanking, where he
first served as president.
The body was sent to the Rockefeller
hospital for embalming. Orders have
been cabled to Moscow for a casket
similar to that used for the burial of
Lenine.

KANSAS CITY. Mo.. March 12.—
•Charfged in a dying statement by Mrs
Dr ra Gage, 52, of Atchison. Kansas,'
with having given her poison so that
he could collect insurance policies which
she had assigned to him, Roy M Turn
er, 25, was being held here today for
investigat ion.
Mrs. Gage died at a hospital yester
day shortly after she had been found
in her hotel room writhing in pain on
the floor. Turner, an Atchison real es ;
tate dealer and former University oT
Kansas football player, who came to
Kansas City yesterday with Mrs. Gage
was in the room when hotel employes
forced an entrance. Before her death
-the woman asserted that Turner gave
her a bottle which ho told her contain
ed corn whiskey. She said he threw
the bottle out the1 window after she
had swallowed a drink. Mrs. Gage was
immediately stricken. i
Turner denied to police that he had
poisoned Mrs. Gage but he would no^
sign a statement. He said he had two
•bottles of corn whiskey yesterday which
he bought in St. Joseph, Mo. Both
drank from one bottle anil later Mrs
Gage drank from the second hot tie,
Turner said. She complained the lio
tasted bitter, he continued. Sampling
the second bottle without swallowing
the liquor, Turner said he found it hit
ler and threw both bottles out the win
dow.
Turner said he held $7000 in insurance
policies on Mr<. Gage’s life, explaining
that lie had sold her a farm and was
holding the policies as security for
notes she had given him.

Sen Wrecks Drove Envoy
From Service, Wife Says
fBy The Associated Press )
NEW YORK, N. Y„ March 12.—
Mrs. .John Wallace Riddle, wife of the
United States ambassador to Argen
tina, whose resignation was accepted
yesterday by President Coolidgo, has
explained from her home at Farming
ton. Conn., how a series of sea mis
haps which she experienced was the
cause of her husband’s retirement
from foreign diplomatic service.
M rs. Riddle, then Miss Pope, was a
passenger on the Lusitania when it
was hit by a German torpedo off the
const of Ireland in 1915. Among the
1198 victims of the disaster were her
two traveling companions. Mrs. Rid
dle was thrown unconscious into the
water hul she survived. The shock of
the experience disabled her for sev
eral months and produced in her mimf
a dread of the sea that made ocean
travel for her an ordeal.
A year after the Lusitania disaster
sh.e was married to Mr. Riddle.
“Soon after our marriage,” said
Mrs. Riddle, “It became necessary for
ns to go abroad, in spite of my dis
taste for sea voyaging. On the trip
from England to Iceland a boiler
blew up aboard our ship. On the way
back the vessel burned at its pier in
Norway. The two experiences, link
ed with the Lusitania horror greatly
deepened my distrust of the ocean.”

Pact Unsuitable Lead-!
er Tells Meeting of
Powers at Geneva
(R'1 The Associated Press)
GFNFVA. March 12.—Speaking to a;
chamber so closely packed that there i
was scarcely breathing space, Austen
Chamberlain, British secretary for for-|
eign affairs, delivered his long heralded ‘
discourse on the Geneva protocol for!
security and disarmament before the'
council of the league of nations today. '
One of the most important features i
of tiie address, whieh outlined the Brit- j
ish objections to the protocol, whs add-!
ed at the last minute. It was that tele- i
gear 'lie communication with the British !
dominions showed that Canada. Aus- i
tralia, New Zealand, the Union of South j
Africa and India were also unable to J
accept the protocol. Mr. Chamberlain,
said he was not vet in possession of
the views of the Irish Free State.
After emphasizing the sympathy that
existed throughout the British empire
with any effott to improve the inter
national machinery for world peace, the
secretary said that successive adminis
trations in Great Britain, with the full
approval of th<* self governing domin
ions not only had in theory favored ar
bitration. which was one of the fea
tures of the protncl. hut had practiced
it. 1 hey had not onlv preached dis
armament hut had actually disarmed to
the limi|t of national safety.
They had takpn a full share in creat
ing and supporting the league of na
tions and permanent cout^ of interna
tional justice, while the immense sac-'
"ices they had made in the cause of
general security were matters of re
cent history.
it, therefore. continued Mr. Chamber
lain, after consulting her dominions
and India, England saw insuperable oh
jections to signing and ratifying the
protocol in its present share, this was
not because she felt herself out of
harmony with the purposes the protocol
was intended to serve or was opposed
in principle to plans for clarifying the
meaning of the league of nations or
strengthening its provisions.
“Amendment and interpretations may
in themselves he desirable,” added the
British foreign secretary, “hut his
majesty’s government cannot believe
that, the protocol as it stands provider
a suitable method of attempting that j
task."

Biownsville, who has looked

BORGLUM, ENEMIES
PLAN PEACE PACT
WILMINGTON. N. C., March 12.—
Gutzon Iiorglum. formerly directing
sculptor of the Stone mountain Con
federate memorial today announced he
would confer tonight or tomorrow with
a comwmittee from Atlanta with a view
to arranging a resumption of work on
the monument.
"The signing of the contract for the
| erection in Brownsville of a tourist
hotel by Lee B. James and A. D.
Dickinson is next to the coming here 20
years ago of the railroad, the most im
port .ait event that has taken place in
connection with the Brownsville of the
future.”
This opinion was expressed today by
John G. Fernandez, member of the cit
izens’ committee that had in charge the
matter of securing the hotel for
Brownsville.
“The next move is, of course, to be
the collection of the bonus of $65,000,
and this work will commence at once,”
Mr. Fernandez said.
The citizens committee is composed
of John Gregg, S. C. Tucker, A. B. Cole,
W. B. Clint, J. B. Lindsey, A. Wayne
Wood, R. B. Creager, J. B. Scott, and Mr.
Fernandez.
The bonus was raised about a year
ago and was in the amount of $65,000.
The amount is understood to be in the
form of notes, which are made payable
within 30 days of demand. A committee
consisting of E. J. Tucker, J. B. Lindsey
and A. II. Fernandez has been formed
on the collection matters, and letters
notifying the contributors to the fund
that the contract has been made for
erection of a hotel of 150 rooms and
that the notes are now payable, are to
be in the mails tonight.
James and Dickinson have deposited
the sum of $10,000 as an evidence of
good faith, and in addition they will,
within 60 days, supply a bond in satis
factory amount to further insure the
carrying out of the contract, it was an
nounced today.
“We have not yet considered th(?
matter of a site for the hotel,” Mr.
James said. "This will come up in good
time. We are going to build the finest
hotel possible, and the plans will be
made with an eye to beauty and attrac
tiveness as well as to comfort for the
guests. Mr. Dickinson and myself are
of the opinion that it will not cost any
more to erect a building of architectural
beauty than to erect a plain building.
"Our architect is a man who has made
a specialtv of nlanning attractive build
ings. and he will have ample opportunity
to test his craftsmanship on this struc
ture. He will leave for Florida in a
few days. We will follow the best ideas
of that state, which has some of the
finest tourist hotel structures in Am
erica.
•'The next important thing is a first
class road to the coast." Mr. James said,
“ft, is mv opinion that this same com
mittee that has acted in the hotel mat
ter should take up this matter. It is
important that we make it easv for
visitors to reach the beaches in the
Golf."
Mr. Janies said that if everythin**
moves along as expected, t^o hotel
should be ready for opening within an
other year.

Houghton Statement on
German Monarch Derided
(By The Associated Press.)
BERLIN, March 12.—The statement
of Alanson B. Houghton, former Amer
ican ambassador at Berlin and recent
ly appointed ambassador to the court
of St. Janies to the effect, as report
ed in dispatches from New York, that
the monarchial question will not be
an issue in Germany for the next ten
or 20 years, elicits much comment in
Gorman political circles. A noted
leader of the German nationalists ex
pressed the nationalist viewpoint as
follows: 1 '
“We are extraordinarily grateful
to Ambassador Houghton for dispos
ing of the monarchial myth. We
frankly admit we are monarchists,
but we do not believe a monarchy
thinkable at this moment. Our pre
sent aim is the consolidation of Ger
many internally and a monarchy is
our only final goal, realizable years
hence.
“We hope that the presidential sit
uation may so develop as to create
conditions by which stepping over
into monarchist form will cause as
little comment as a monarchy in Eng
gland or Belgium causes today. The
German people absolutely want some
one with authority at the head, to
whom they can look up. No matter
how great the power of the president
may be he will never satisfy the sen
timent of the German people for a
crown-ed head with a certain halo
about him."

Mysterious Deaths o f
Several Osages Near
Pawhuska, Okla., Are
Probed by U. S.
(By The Associated Press.)
PAWHUSKA, Okla., March 12.—With
subpoenas issued for a dozen persons
to appear before a court of inquiry
today to offer testimony in connection
, with the death of several Osage Indians
and a white lawyer in the fall and sum
mer of 11:22, officers said they expected
arrests of several prominent ranchers
to follow within 24 hours.
A half dozen conferences were held
here yesterday by J. Berry King, assist
ant state attorney general, who with the
assistance of Eustice Smith, a repre
sentative of the department of justice,
is conducting the investigation.
Court sessions will be private.
Several deaths of wealthy Osage In
dians in 1922 led officers to believe that
a “gang" was responsible for the mur
ders.
Anna Brown, said to be a wealthy
Indian girl, was found shot to death
in the spring of 1922. A short time
later Henry Roan, another Indian, said
to be related to Anna Brown, was
killed. Later the home of W. E. Smith,
Osage Indian, was dynamited and Smith,
his wife and a maid were killed. Smith
was also said to be a relative of Anna
Brown. A doctor living near Smith was
shot and killed shortly after the dyna
miting.
Charles Whitehorse and an Indian
girl were slain later and an attorney,
W. W. Vaughn, was killed in a mysteri
ous fall from the back of a train while
enroute to Pawhuska on business in con
nection with an Osage Indian estate.
