Preparations Made
At Fort Brown For
Tribute to Foch
Preparations were completed at
Fort Brown today for the firing of a
national salute in honor of Mar
shal Ferdinand Foch.
A salute of 21 guns is to be fired
beginning at 5:55 a. m. Tuesday
and this will be followed with a one
gun salute every 30 minutes until
retreat at 5:30 p. m. The flag will
be flown at half-mast throughout
the day.
A like salute will be fire at every
military post in the United States.
So far as can be learned, this is
the first time in the history of the
United States a like honor has been
conferred upon a foreign officer,
with the possible exception of the
occasion of the death of Lafayette.
A report that like honors were con
ferred on this French leader at his
death and that France paid like
honor to George Washington has
not been confirmed.
Cabbage Loading
Lighter; Growers
Getting $6 a Ton
—
Cabbage loadings Saturday and
Sunday were reduced to 53 cars as
the result of the rain in Hidalgo
county, and the prevailing low price.
Dealers were paying only S6 per ton
Monday morning, but took a more
optimistic view of the situation as a
result of the lighter loadings.
A new season record was estab
lished Saturday and with 17 cars of
potatoes loaded, indicating heavy
loadings this week. An effort to
stabilize the potato market is under
way. Onion shipments were reduced
to one car, owing to the heavy rains
in Willacy county.
The total loadings Saturday and
| Sunday reached 145 cars, of which
44 were mixed vegetables, 4 beets. 10
carrots. 8 beets and carrots. 53 cab
cage. 1 onions. 17 potatoes. 1 parsley
and 7 grapefruit. The season total
is 13.300 cars as compared with 12.

Foch Bier Xisited
by8,000Each Hour
PARIS. March 25.—OPV—The people of Paris again today for six solid
hours passed beore the bier of the later Marshal Foch which during the
night had been convoyed from the Arc de Triomphe to the Cathedral of
Notre Dame.
When the doors of the great edifice opened for the first mass of the
day at 6 a. m., there was a line of people waiting to pass by the coffin of
i the allied generalissimo. Their numbers grew with each passing hour
and many thousands were leit:
waiting outside in the sunlit squSre
when at noon the doors were closed
again so workmen might prepare
the cathedral for the national fun
eral services tomorrow'.
In the six hours that the doors
were open this morning, 25.000 per
sons filed in an orderly and silent
column past the black and silver
qiortuary chapel where the famous
soldier lay guarded by two priests
and two Boy Scouts.
Removal to Notre represented a
change in official plans brought
about by the crush of the public
demonstration at the Arc de
Triomphe yesterday in which one
man died and scores were injured
as the crowds filed past the bier.
People Silent Mourners
It had been planned originally
to have the body remain at the
Arc de Triomphe until later today,
permitting other thousands who
were unable to pay their homage
yesterday to do so today. Police,
however, feared a repetition of
yesterday’s crush and asked re
moval earlier.
Entry at Notre Dame was un
ostentatious but impressive. The
great doors of the cathedral were
thrown wide while trumpets sound
ed and troops saluted. The coffin
W'as then brought inside them and
given to the care of the cathedral
chapter, headed by Andrea de la*
Barre, its dean. The dean read
prayers proper to the occasion as
it was placed in the cathedral.
Police said yesterday’s w'as the
greatest outpouring toward one
spot demonstration Paris has ever
seen. The crow'd was large, con
taining perhaps a million persons,
though not more than a fraction
of that number filed past the bier
at the rate of 8,000 an hour, it was
sadly quiet, with hats off and many
heads bowed.

DRAW WATER
PERMIT ASKED
Application Goe* Before
State Board of Water
Engineers Monday
Application for a permit to utilize
drainage waters and such additional
water as may be necessary from the
Rio Grande to irrigate approximate-*
ly 7.000 acres in the coastal area
of Cameron county, was submitted
to the state board of water engin
eers at Austin today by W. E. An
derson. San Benito engineer, rep
resenting A1 Parker, owner of the
acreage. •
The lands affected lie in the ex
treme northeastern part of Cameron
county south of the mouth of the
Arroyo Colorado and east of the
Laguna Atascosa, and border on
the Leguna Madre. The acreage is
in the form of a peninsula with
water on three sides.
Irrigation supplies will be drawn
from the Laguna Atascosa which
has been transformed into a huge
reservoir receiving the drainage
from practically all the central sec
tion of Cameron county. A levee
constructed across the outlet from
the laguna into the Cayo Atascosa
has converted th elaguna into a
huge fresh water lake and prevents
ingress of salt water from the La
guna Madre during storm periods.
Development of the acreage has
been underway the past two years.
A complete system of highways has
been constructed, and with the in
stallation of an irrigation system
a large part of the area is expected
to be brought into production. Part
of the acreage is resaca land, formed
by the Cuates resaca which connects
with the Laguna Madre near the
center of the tract to be developed.
Practically the entire area is high
and well drained, the surface water
draining into the Atascosa on the
west or the Laguna Madre on the
east. Its coast line consists of a
number of high promitories jutting
into the Laguna Madre, forming a
series of building sites of great
beauty.
The graded road system connects
with the county’s highway system
at two points, one at the north end
of Laguna Atascosa, and the other
with the Box raiicn road which con
nects with highway No. 100.

M oody Facing Hard
I Axe-Wielding Job
On Many hew Bills
By R. W. BARRY
Associated Press Staff Writer
AUSTIN. March 25.—i/Pi—Governor Moody has one of the most diffi
fult ax-wielding jobs any chief executive has had in a whole bouquet of
laws.
*The governor has already won himself considerable recognition as a
vetoer. He slew a basketful of measures, designed to raise salaries of offi
jciais in certain counties, during thes
closing days of the session. Prior
to that he had vetoed the small land
bill.
I But. this week, or maybe the first
of next, he is going to run his score
up, according to the wise ones.
It seems to be accepted that he
will not approve the Wirtz bill,
written to punish Senator Thomas
B. Love and his democrats who left
the family nest and joined the re
publicans during the engagement of
last November.
Fonders Pt. Arthur Bill
Governor Moody, doubtless, will
be able to give convincing reasons
why the bill, should not be signed.
He could point out that many of
the proponehts of the chastisement
have themselves sinned in the past,
and that were it made to retroact
come ten years, there would be few
Who could not be barred from the
democratic primaries.
There are other decisions to be
made. For instance:
The Port Arthur seawall proposal,
calling for remission of state taxes
over a 20-year period. The governor'
is pondering hard here, with some
opponents of the plan having fur
nished him with figm'es showing
the amount of revenue the state
would lose temporarily from refin
eries in that vicinity.
Amendments Proposed
Measures creating a new criminal
district court at Corpus Christi and
a court of civil appeals at Green
ville.
Proposed establishment of three
or four experiment stations. It is
likely he will disapprove some of
these farms for the time being.
Two resolutions, proposing con
stitutional amendments, one in
creasing the governor's salary to
$10,000 annually, and the other fix
