license fees owners of automobiles
shall pay and levy an occupation

Man At Harlingen

county officers are searching for
Lupe Reyes, charged with murder
in connection with the shooting
late Saturday night of Matis Ar
riaga. who died Sunday morning at
the Valley Baptist hospital.
The shooting, which is alleged
to have been the result of an old
feud between the men. occurred
near the Missouri Pacific icing
plant in the northern part of the
city. Arriaga was shot twice in
the left side with a 9-mm. Luger
pistol. He was unconscious when
taken to the hospital and did not
regain consciousness.
Reyes is alleged to have been
seen following Arriaga a few min
utes before the shooting. Offi

ever since. They stated that Reves
had declared that Arriaga had shot
at him about a year ago. Both
men are said to have resided in

Hoover Facing New
Diplomatic Problem
In Herrick’s Death
WASHINGTON, April 1.—(TP)—
The death of Ambassador Myron
T. Herrick at Paris has forced upon
President Hoover and Secretary
Stimson a number of problems in
the selection of a successor which
they had hoped not to have to con
sider for some time.
1 The nature of the tasks which
the new ambassador will be called
upon to perform has led to the
suggestion that former Vice Presi
dent Charles G. Dawes, most prom
inently mentioned for the highly
prized London post, may now be
asked to go to Paris instead.
At the same time, consideration of
Dawes in connection with the Lon
don assignment has led to the sug
gestion that former Secretary Frank
B. Kellogg might be asked to go
to Paris.
