by The Herald?
t This is the Mergenthaler Linotype
company's latest development in a
^jrpe face for newspaper?.. It is
•Jtown as Ionic.
It has been in use now for more
jthan a year, by hundreds of news
papers over the United States.
It has been declared by opto
metrists to be easier on the eye ,
than any other news type face ever |
developed in the history of the ;
Industry.
The change involved a consider

HUGE MERGER

ests File Application
To Acquire Ten
Trunk Lines
WASHINGTON. Feb 20.—<>P>—
Two attempts to bring about huge
scale railroad consolidations in east
ern trunk line teritory have been
initiated before the interstate com
merce commission. The first was
that of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad which yesterday asked the
commision to approve steps it may
take to expand its present system by
the acquisition of a half a score of
other trunk lines. The second came
today and was made by the Van
Sweringen interests.
Even the vast site of the previous
railroad amalgamations projected
by the Cleveland group was exceed
ed in today's proposals, which
named for complete or partial con
centration not only the several im
portant rail systems commonly iden
tified as Van Sweringen property,
but also a half score other lines,
some now owned by hostile and op
posing railroad organisations.
Specifically the commission was
asked- to find that the public inter
est would allow the “grouping or
unification” of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, a main Van Swerin
een stem, with the Erie, nickel ntate.
Pere Marquette, and Hocking Valiev
svstems, all now Van Sweringen
owned; whtle jn addition should be
added the Wheeling and Lake Erie.

Statement of Inform

Policeman
CHICAGO. Feh. 20—The
enforcement agencies of the United
States government. Cook county
and the city of Chicago expressed
a united belief today that last
Thursday’s mass murder of gang
sters was approaching solution.
A secret imformant gave signifi
cant information to federal in
vestigators last night. It lent cor
roborative color to the theory, first
expressed by a federal official,
that Chicago police officers mav
have had a part in the sevenfold
slaying.
“Morgan's gang ‘the seven who
were killed were members of the
George Morgan crowd) stole S12 000
worh of a policeman's liquor.” said
the informant, “and that's what
the shooting’s all about.”
He went into detail
"The policeman who owned the
liquor lias a partner and a sweet
heart The girl runs a beauty shop
and the partner runs a roadhouse
northwest of Chicago. The offi
cer has a half interest in the road
house.
"Find the policeman who fits
this picture, and you’ve got some
thing”
It mas explained that the in
formant had overheard a conversa
tion between the poh-'eman and the
girl through a partitino of the
beauty shop.

Hand- Wabble ’Pump
Device to Aid Eaker
Here on Panama Trip
Under a special refueling device,]
a 'hand-wobble ’ pump, Capt. Ira
C. Eaker on his dawn-to-dusk
flight from Brownsville to the
Panama canal, will be enabled toj
fill his 70-gallon gasoline tank in |
from two to three minutes on five
stops scheduled. Information to
this effect was given out Wednes
day by army officers at Kelly Field,
San Antonio.
The start is to be made here
early on the morning of March 10,
about 4 o'clock, it is said, and at
first there was some speculation as
to how the trip could be made In
the specified time, in view of the
time ordinarily consumed in refuel
ing.
Uses High Test Fuel
On each of the five stops it be
came known he will fill his tanks
with extra high test airplane fuel,
consisting of 25 per cent benzol and
75 per cent aviation gasoline. In
stead of using the ordinary slow
method of pouring the gas in from
tins through a funnel. Captain Eak
er will have installed on the side
of the cockpit the “hand-wobble"
pump, to which will be attached
a 200-foot hose. The latter will be
inserted into drums, from which
the gas will be dumped directly into
the tanks at the rate of about 35
gallons per minute.
As the motor of his plane. “The
Pan-Ameican." will be kept run
ning while refueling, it is esti
mated that hardly more than three
minutes will be consumed a each
landing. Information received here
was to the effect that in addition
to the 70-gallon tank under the mo
tor. the ship will have a 50-gallon
tank built in he fuselage. The 450
horsepower motor will consume gas
at the rate of 35 gallons an hour.

Love, Bailey Clash On
*Good Democracy’ Recipe
AUSTIN. Feb. 30.—'/TV-Two
war horses in Texas polities
crossed each other s path in the
Texas senate yesterday, when
former U. S. Senator Joseph W.
Bailey and State Senator Thomas
B. Love disagreed on what con
stitutes “good democracy."
Senator Bailey, speaking on
invitation of the senate, enum
erated five principles which he
said all good democrats should
endorse, and admonished the
senators that if they adhered to
those fundamental* they would
“not lose any real democrats."
“You will lose some counterfeit
democrats, but we should rejoice
at their leaving." Senator Bailey
declared.
*
He laid down the rule that
“only democrats should make
democratic nominations and pro
mulgate democratic doctrines ’*
Rising to a point of personal
privilege. Senator Love charged
that Bailey had indicted the
“majority of the voters of Tex
as’* and declared Bailey had over
stepped the bounds of courtesy
extended him by the senate.
“He asserted that there Is no
room in the democratic party for
a zealous prohibitionist." Love
stated. “Every time In recent
years that Bailey has come In
conflict with me end the people
with whose ideals with whom I
am in accord be has been over

Embankment
PEORIA. 111., Feb. 20 —OV-At
least six miners were killed in a
tram wreck today and about 200
others were injured, some so seri
ously they may die.
The accident occurred near Hol
lis. 111., five miles south of here.
Four cars of an 11-car Peoria Term
inal railway train carrying 900 min
ers went over a 25-foot embank
ment.
One of the cars caught fire from
an overturned stove but the fire was
extinguished. Jim Clark, a miner
probably was fatally burned when
he was knocked unconscious and
fell across the stove. He was res
cued by a fellow worker.
Carried Miners
The train was known as miners
train No. 1 and was bound for the
Crescent coal mines 15 miles south
of here. Engineer F. O. Fisher of
Peoria said he was proceeding be
tween 12 and 15 miles an hour and
did not know anything was wrong
until he glanced over his shoulder
and saw the cars tumbling over the
embankment.
He cut his engine from the train
and ran to Hollis where help was
summoned, doctors, ambulances and
nurses coming from Pvona and
from Martinville. Within a few
minutes scores of wives and child
ren of the miners were on the
scene, some of them only half
gi wswf wmiig- tTie ■ mr tyruw ’ttro

There was much confusion due
to the fact that persons living
nearby rushed to the wreck In auto
mobiles and took many of the In
jured to Peoria hospitals so that
relatives were unable to find them.
Officials of the railway attribut
ed the accident to a broken “fish
plate."
The identified dead included
George Jones. William Brown. Ce

CHANGE URGED
IN CHECK ACT
Elimination of Time
Clause Sought By
Merchants
(Sneci®! to Th® Herald)
HARLINGEN. Feb. 20—An ap
peal to the legislature to eliminate
the time clause in the present “bad
check'' law Is to be urged by Retail
Merchants association of the Valley,
it was decided on at a meeting of
secretaries of such orders here last
night.
Under the present law when a
"cold" check is given, the giver must
be allowed 14 days notice In which
to make it good before he can be
prosecuted. It is this clause which
is sought to be eliminated, the sec
retaries contending that it permits
the man or woman who makes a
practice of giving such bad checks
time in which to leave the state
The secretaries are to elect offi
cers at the next meeting, which is
to be held the third Tuesday in
March at Mercedes.
A nominating committee was ap
pointed consisting of Mrs. Mary
Moses of the Harlingen association.
Miss J. Bernardlne Price, secretary
of the Brownsville body, and Miss
Elizabeth Collier, secretary of the
Edinburg order.
Miss J. Bernardlne Price, who at
tended the meeting, said that local
merchants should urge their legis
lators to work for an amendment to
the present bad check law, so that
the time clause might be done away
with. The present law is inade
quate. she believes.
Two “cold” checks given Browns
ville merchants have been collected
by the association, she says.
