'Continued from Page'oife.T
TOO. rendered by the district court
several months ago in favor of S.
Lamar Gill of Ravmondville and
others was introduced by the plain
tiff, and Homer R. Maxwell, city
attorney, testified at length regard
ing the release of this judgment,
the abstract of title and other doc
uments he had been requested to
pass upon. He stated he mad a ver
bal report to the city commission
Wednesday. March 20. and a writ
ten opinion Monday, March 23.
The testimony of witnesses cen
tered largely on the value of the
property, indicating a wide varia
tion of opinion. J. M. Green, city
commissioner, who is engaged in
the real estate business, testified
that in his opinion, the value of
the 225-acre tract as a whole did
not exceed $225 per acre. H. J.
Goetzke estimated the value at $200
per acre; E. O. Stuart placed the
value at $400, Joe Cunningham at
$350. and Clayton Pritchard at $600
per acre.
Considerable testimony relative to
real estate values on lands contigu
ous to or in various part of the
city was admitted, showing a sim
ilarly wide range, and practically
all witnesses were called upon to es
timate values of various tracts or
small parcels of land. Two witness
es asserted they had seen part of
the Arroyo Country club tract un
' der water from Arroyo overflow, and
j then described part of the land as
] broken.
A. P. Holmes, former city com
1 missioner, stated the city had been
offered the east parksite at $80
. per acre and the Bush tract at $150
per acre. He said the city had
. paid $600 on a 69-acre tr3Ct. and
that so far as he knew the deal
had not been closed.
In their examination o? Hompr
R. Maxwell, city*attorney, attorneys
for the plaintiffs dwelt at some
length on the fact that the war
rants issued in pavment for the
tract are dated March 1, and the
city attorney was asked if it was
customary* to ante-date city war
rants. He stated that he knew of
only one previous issue wliich had
been ante-dated, and that was in
- connection with the light plant
some time previous to its sale.
Mayor Botts testified that the
warrants had been signed on March
21. and delivered to Lloyd Thomp
son, trustee, and that he had no
knowledge of where they are or who
has them now. At the opening of
the case attorneys for the plaintiffs
stated they had been informed that
the warrants had been sold to B.
F. Dittmar & Co., of San Antonio.

SCOTTISH RITE

Maundy Thursday Observed
With Feast Here; Butt
Named President
I
—
Observing Maundy Thursday rites
75 Scottish Rite Masons, members
of the Rio Grande Valley club met
at El Jardin Thursday night.
At the conclusion of the impres
sive. ceremony Howard E. Butt of
Harlingen was elected president for
the coming year. R. E. Green of
Brownsville was elected vice presi
dent, and Chas. D. Brown of
Erownsvillc, secretary.
Harry Nunn, toastmaster, opened
the rituaiitsic repast and briefly ex
plained the observance. Following
this Amerea was sung by the gatk
erine. The invocation was given
by Dr C. H. Thorn.
A number of toasts were given
following the feast.
Major Fletcher Gardner of Fort
Brown in his toast ‘To the Presi
dent of the United Elates,” paid
trihute to the emphasis put on law
enforcement by President Hoover in
his inaugural address “Masons al
ways stand for law and order and
pledge themselves to support the
laws of the land,’ Major Fletcher
said.
Following this toast the gathering
sang the Star Spangled Banner.
High tribute was paid to Sovereign
Grand Commander John H. Cowles.
Sovereign Grand Inspector General
Sam P. Cochran, and to Dr. C. H.
Thorn, who long has been active
in Masonic work in the Valley, by
A. Wayne Wood in his toast “To
the Supreme and Sovereign Grand
Commander and Sovereign Grand
Tnsuector General in Texas. He
spoke on the philosophy of Masonry
and its survival after centuries of
trials and tribulations.
In a toast to the "Most Worship
ful Grand Lodge of Texas,” R. E.
Green outlined the purposes and
aims of that body. “Their task, that
of linking together an organisation
for the good of ail mankind as they
meet in daily life, is no small one,”
he said.
Dr. Thorn likened Masonry to the
stars and other celestial bodies and
said it "illuminates the minds of
all the earth as every Masonic body
is a schcol of philosophy.” His toast
was addressed "To All Regular Ma
sons and Masonic bodies of all rites
and degrees over the surface of the
earth.”
“God Is supreme and is Love; so
is woman love, patricularly your
mother.’ was the theme of a trib
ute “To the Ladies” by Jessee Den
nett. “Man is frail and sweethearts,
wives, sisters and mothers play an
important part in developing all
the good traits in mankind,” he
said.
A silent toast was drunk to all
“Masons whose labors have ceased
here below.”
George Mensur, president of the
club, told of a meeting of Texas
Masons in Monterrey with members
of Masonic bodies of Mexico. He
paid high compliment to the Ma
sons of Mexico and urged that their
organizations be recognized by Tex
as bodies. This was the subject of
the Monterrey conference.
Mr. Butt in accepting the post of
president for the coming year, sug- 1
gested an organized effort to secure ;
candidates for the higher ranks to j
take the work at the reunion to be !
held at San Antonio April 18.
Good work of Shrine hospitals
for crippled children was discussed
by Vice Fresident Green and sug
gestion that effort be made to se
cure such an institution for the '
Valley met with approval.

Permission to divert flood waters
was granted by the state board of
water engineers, and organization
of the district and its bond issue
were duly validated during the re
cent legislative session. It was un
derstood that the old Union irri
gation district, part of which is
included in the new district, auto
matically ceased to exist when the
legislature validated organization
of the new district. Attorneys,
however, hold that the old district
is still in existence until the last
of its obligations are discharged.

attempt to enter the city.
Federal aviators reported Jimenez
had been deserted by the rebels who
reestablished themselves at Santa
Rosali, 73 kilometers to the north
west, although dispatches from the
border said the rebels claimed still
to hold this city. The main body
of General Almazan's army was op
erating out of Jaral Grande, below
Escalon.
Government announcements said
there had been numerous surren
ders of rebels who no longer wished
to fight against the government.
News dispatches concerning some of
these said the rebel soldiers were
paid neither Monday nor Tuesday
and the delinquency had been a
great blowe to morale. The Mexi

and provides his own food with it.

ESCOBAR ANNOUNCES
READY FOR BATTLE
JUAREZ, CHIHUAHUA, Mexico,
March 29.—-{&)—The crisis of the
Mexican revolution apparently was
near at hand today as only 17 miles
of desert separated the federals at
Escalon and the rebels at Bellano.
to the north. Reports received here
said a battle before night was im
minent.
The revolutionaries made their
first air raid yesterday, bombing
Bermejillo. believed to be the head
quarters of General P. Elias Calles,
generalissimo of the federal army.
Reports from rebel headquarters at
Jimenez said the attack was suc
cessful, “doing much damage and
creating much consternation among
the federal forces.” Two bombers
accompanied by an unannounced
number of pursuit planes, made the
raid.
The raid was taken here as an in
dication that General Jose Gonzalo
Escobar, commander-in-chief of the
revolutionists, was ready for battle
after keeping his movements for the
last few days secret by enforcing a
rigid censorship. A telegram from
Escobar to The Associated Press
said:
“The Aerial escadrille of the rev
olutionary army is ready and well
equipped to combat the Calles
army.”
An official report received at rebel
headquarters here last night said
two federal aviators, a Captain
Farrel and Captain Alfredo Cebal
los. had been shot down and killed.
Farrel was killed when he attempt
ed to raid Jemenez and Ceballos
was brought down at Guadalajara
on March 24, according to the report
which concluded. “These deaths may
have been confirmed by the enemy.”
SLAIN AVIATOR CAME
HERE FOR PLANE
Captain Luis Farrel, who. accord
ing to Associated Press dispatches
today, was killed in an air attack
on Jimenez, was one of the four
who left Brownsville March 16. pi

planes purchased by the Mexican
government for use against the re
