VALLEY
SOMETHING like three quarters
of a million dollars worth of
construction is underway in Browns
ville.
Bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers,
painteis and all the other crafts are
kept just as busy as can be.
The weekly |>ayrolls are sizeable.
Taken together with the returns
from the recent truck season, more
money is flowing in Brownsville at
this time than has ever before been
experienced..
There is no question about the
prosperity in the Lower Kio Grande
Valley," the I'nited States Chamber
of Commerce business map to the
contrary notwithstanding.
And with u cotton crop coming on
that at this time sems to be promis
ing a splendid yield, there is no rea
son why this self same prosperity
shall not ccntinue on indefinitely.
Business is brisk everywhere.

Harlingen city commissioners did*
a very wise thing when they decided
to put the city water rate on a flat
basis, the purpose being to encour
age residents in beautification of
their lawns and yards.
I.awns demand plenty of water,
particularly in the hot and dry sea
son of the year.
In addition to which Harlingen is
doing another very fine thing in this
mailer of beautif ieaticn. Accord
ing to news reports, the city is sup
plying the labor necessary to put in
shape flower beds provided for be
tween the sidewa ‘r* and curbs,
where the property owners sign up
to do their part by planting the
flowers.
Iii some oft he older and more pre
tentious homes in Brownsville,
homes built before the installation of
the waterworks systems, it was .the
custom to pave the yards with brick,
leaving small spaces for flowers and
shiubbery.
Iii those days water for domestic
purposes was a problem. It was not
difficult to secure’enough water for
sinall flower beds, but to water an
entire lawn involved expense.

Vare Henchmen
are Questioned
in Fund Probe
WASHINGTON, I». C., June 2#.—
</P>—Political lieutenants of William
S. Vare in his successful campaign
for the republican senatorial nomi
nation in Pennsylvania were jolted
along u nerve wracking road of cross
examination today as th'e senate cam
paign funds committee pursued its
quest for the inside story of the
Keystone state's $2,000,000 primary.
In prime form, Senator Reed of
Missouri, the committee chairman
conducted the questioning. Almost
without a let-up duting the two-hour
session he prodded toward the inner
workings of the Vnre organization,
its sources of revenue and its meth
ods of battle, and in particular its
operations in the Vare stronghold in
the first twenty wards of Phila
delphia.
Harry A. Mackey, field marshal of
the organization in the recent pri
mary campaign, was taken step by
step through these wards where in
some prej.nct* Vare polled more
than 100 votes to 1 over the com
bined strength of his opponents,
Governor Pinrhot and Senator Pep
per. The witness sard he could not
attempt to account for the variations
in comparative strength shown in
some of these wards, but he main
tained that the voting ha* been ac
cording to the rules of the game and i
protested that the stuffing of ballot
boxes would have been impossible
even if some one had wanted to do
it.
WASHINGTON, I». C, June 1C up. -
Prastic tactics were adopted today
by the senate campaign funds com
mittee to get at the bottom of the |
situation which resulted in an ex
penditure of some $2,000,000 in the
republican primary campaign in
Pennsylvania.
Waiving aside Harry A. Mackey,
the Van* campaign manager, just as
he was about to resume his testi
mony. Chairman Reed summoned to
the stand another ware supporter.
Joseph N. Macarell of Pittsburgh.
“Who were you talkirg to on the
long distance phone in th# adpoin
ing room just now." demanded Reed.
“Albert Cooper at Harrisburg,”
Markre.'l replied. "A political matter.”
-What political matter?”
Markrell was hesitant, but Reed
wa* insistent.
Was To Be Penalized
“Well, I supported Beidelman (the
unsuccessful Vare candidate for gov-j
ernor) and I understood I was to be
penalized in ray county for that,"
the witness finally said. “Mr. Beid
elman was to arrange to keep me
from being penalized."
“Virtually."
“What else?'
Mackrell again hesitated.
“What did you mean by saying ‘I
understood nothing from nobody
“If you will give me a little more
time perhaps 1 could tell you.”
“That's all I'm going to give for
the present. What did Cooper say
to you ?"
“He said ‘you know what is being
done her?.’ He said he had been t
talking to the governor—that's Beid
elman—and tnat things would be as
had been talked over."
“Where’s the sentence *1 under
stand nothing from nobody’” Heed
demanded as he chewed iinpotiently
on his cigar.
”1 didn’t pay muth attention to the
conversation. It wasn't important."
Feared Political Reprisals
“You didn’t pay much attention to
what you said,”
“Well, the main tenor was that
Beidelman would protect us from po
litical reprisals."
“Reprisals from whom."
“I don't know. Its just street talk.
My term as registrar of Wills ex
pires in a year.”
Reed suddenly switched from the
phone conversation to Mackrell’* ac
tivity for Vare and Beidelman.
“Did you contribute any money?"
“Yes, $5,000.”
“Where did you get it?"
“I’d saved it over a period of three
years."
Mackrell said he had kept the
money in a vault ct his office. He
said his salary was $5,000 and year
and commissions that would average
about $11,000 a year.
