' *he motion was denied and the case
went to the jury, resulting in
acquittal for both.
Last Novemoer. Burton Fitts war
•lected district attorney of I.os An
geles county on an “anti-corruption”
j platform. After an investigation of
alleged corruption six persons, in
cluding Keyes, Getzoff and Rosen
berg were indicted.
Meantime Berman had hern con
victed in federal court of using the
mails to defraud and senteuced to
•even years in prison. In the brib
ery case, he turned state’s witness
and testified that about the time
•f the Julian fraud trial he gave
$40,090 to Getxoff, the alleged “go
between.” with the understanding
that it was to be given to Keyes so
the latter would slacken his efforts
to convict. Berman testified that
Rosenberg gave $125,000 In the same
manner and also presented gifts to
Keyes, Mrs. Keyes and their daugh
ter Elizabeth.
GIL PLANNING
(Continued from page one.)
The plane pilot decided to continue
the journey, believing they aoon
would penetrate the fcg. Twenty
miles north of Sola la Marina the
enveloping vapors became more
dense, and the plane was forced to
akim a few feet above the beach.
Several times the air voyagers be
came lost in the dense vapors.
Whenever this occurred the plane
would be turned due east until it
skimmed just above the waters of
the Gulf. After an hour of battling
with the dense fog, the plane .yas
turned southward to effect a landing
•t Sota la Marina. They drove out
over the gulf, and turning west
ward reached the beach, ard for an
other hour searched for the moutn
of the Sota la Marina. This finally
was found, and then another sear^n
through the fog was instituted *ot
the fishing camp, located a short
distance up th«; river.
Camp Welcome Sight
Several times they circled the sup
posed location of the camp, and
finally found it when a rift appear
ed and they located the tents and
buildings only a few feet I clow the
plane. A landing was effected, and
the party remained at the camp un
til late afternoon.
Persons at the fishing camp
stated that the plane had circled the
camp several times, and that they
judged it had been less than fifty
feet above the buildings, but the
vapors were sodense the plana could
poC be seen.
"That was the most thrilling air
plane journey in my experience,"

In another article it says, “Now

SOUTHWEST, ROCKIES
STILL ARE SHIVERING
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 0.—{&>—The
southwest. Rocky Mountain and Pa
cific northwest regions today con
tinued to shiver from a cold wave of
unusual severity that also was felt
in the west and Mississippi valley.
Three deaths, two in Texas, from ex
posure had been reported.
Railroad transportation in south
western Colorado was further hin
dered by aditional snow as zero tem
peratures in that region and in Kans
as, Oklahoma and the Texas Pan
handle, covered by an uneven white
blanket ranging up to 12 inches, con
tinued. Louisiana, Kentucky and Ten
nessee were feeling the storm with
rain and snow while in the west the
mercury dropped so low that citrus
growers in southern California pre
pared for smudging.
Two more snow slides crashed on
the tracks of Denver and K o Grande
Western railroad between Durango
and Silverton, Colo., making a total
of 11 in 13 miles. Reports said sec
tion crews hed been unable to cut
through the first slide and that Sil
verton, isolated several days ago,
would remain cut off at least two or
three weeks.
A break in the frigid temperatures
in the southwest and Rocky mountain
states might ccme late tomorrow, the
weather man said, but in the Pacific
northwest no relief was in sight.
DALLAS, Feb. 9.—(£*)—Four lives
were taken either directly or indi
rectly by the snow and sleet and
frigid temperature that gripped north

The special train bearing the agri
cultural workers left for Houston at
I 8:43, the crop champions, whe are
making their southern tour in two
special cars, leaving on the regular
train et 8:30.
The two delegations comprised
the largest crowd the Valley has
beel ceiled upon to entertain this j
winter. One hundred and twenty
cars were in the caravan that left
Edinburg Friday morning. The itin-1
erary carried thsm through the {
Sharyland and Mission tracts,!
through McAllen to the Pharr-San
Juan-Alamo pumping plant on the
Rio Grande near Hidalgo, and then
through the Valley cities to Harlin
gen where they were served lunch
by the ladies of the Cameron
county home demonstration clubs.
The women’s Chamber of Commerce
building, where lunch was served,
proved inadequate to accommodate
the huge throng, and the overflow
was served at the Van Noy cafe.
From Harlingen the party proceed
ed through San Benito to Browns
ville. arriving between 4 and 5
o’clock. Many of the earlier arriv
als toured the El Jardin section and
visiting the Rabb palm grove, others
crossing to Matamoros for a tour of
that city.
Dinner was served at the Mata
moros Cafe at 6:30, the party cross
ing to the American side about 8
o'clock.
The development of tho Valley j
proved a never-ending source of
amazement to the visitors. Tbey
commented frequently on the fact
that practically all development has
been accomplished in the past 15
years, and they commended the man
ner in which many of the growers
are handling their field crops and
citrus fruit orchards. They were
greatly impressed by tho thousands
of acres planted to citrus fruit, the
producing orchards and the eviden
ces of prosperity found in all sec
tions.
Among tho visitors were a number
of representatives of the division of
agricultural economics, who were
unanimous in asserting that the
Valley’s problem is not one of pro
duction but one of marketing, and
advised immediate organisation to
handle the citrus fruit production
of tho future.
The visitors were accompanied by
many of the leading agricultural
writers and instructors of the
j South, including Victor Schoeffel
mayer, agricultural editor of the
Dallas News; J. A. Evans, assistant
chief of the extension service of the
U. S. department of agriculture; O.
B. Martin, director of extension
work. Texas A. & M.; D. J. Dodson,

ment station at Baton Rouge; Dan

figured prominently in national agri
cultural work.
The visitors were on a side trip
from Houston, where agricultural
workers from all parts of the Unit
ed States met in convention the
first of tho week in honor of tho
twenty-fifth anniversary of tho es
tablishment of extension work. Tho
trip to the Valiev was made over
