THE RADIO TOWERS at Point
Isabel, a landmark since 1915, are
to be torn down.
These towers, which have vied
with the old light house th're for
first honors as points of interes*.
have not been in use since the
naval radio station. NAY. was re
moved to Fort Biown here several
years ago..
They were among the first large
towers erected in the United Spates
and at one time the station there
was one of the most powerful in
the country. That was before radio
had attained its present place in
the everyday business life of the
world.
• • •
The naw department has asked
bids for the work of razing the
towers and removing the material
from the government property, the
bids to be opened at Algiers. La ,
Mav 22
The notice for bids recounts that
the towers are more than 200 feet
high, that they weigh 115 tons
each and that they taper from a
60-foot triangular base to 10 feet
at the top.
Since those old towers were erect
ed there there have great strides in
radio and now communication is
almost as certain as the telegraph
service by wire. The station at
Brownsvilip dally is in communi
cation with shins on the Pacific
coast and almost as far south as
the Panama canal.

C. of C. Declares
'Special to The Hearldi
SAN BENITO. May 7.—A call to
arms was being sounded through
the Valley today by J. E. Bell, man
ager of the San Benito Chamber of
Commerce, following receipt of a
telegram from the Florida Chamber
of Commerce on the farm relief bill
now before congress.
The message •was fro mR. G.
Grassfield. manager of the Florida
state organization, and called at
tention to the fact that fruit and
vegetable growers would be barred
from benefits of the co-operative
loan fund under the terms of the
McNarv amendment to the farm re
lief bill.
The amendment defines crops on
which loans are to be made as
“farm products, not including fruit
and vegetables.” Grassfield wired.
“This is a direct attack on the
fruit and veegtable farmers of the
entire south and should be strenu
ously opposed.” the message said.
Bell was getting in touch with
shippers, growers and chamber of
commerce executives to learn what
they desired to do to defeat this
amendment.
Belief was expressed that con
gressmen and senators would be
urged to defeat the objectionable
addition to the bill.

gin serving sentence came shortly
before eieht o’clock when Edgar C.
Snyder. United States marshal, left
his home carrying the commitment
papers and went for a conference
at the jail with its superintendent,
Major William L. Peak.
Believing Sinclair’s arrival near, a

“I am glad to see you. Mr Sin

“How do you do. Mr. Snyder.” the
oil man replied.
He was taken to the superintend

companions, he was closeted for
about fifteen minutes while being
acquainted with the jail regulations
and given his number.
"I don't suppose you are used to
getting up as early as we do here?”
Maior Peak inquired.
“What time?” Sinclair asked
“5:45.”
“Oh. well. I guess I’ll get accus

Major Peak then informed the

Hamilton shot Walton to death
here Saturday when the boy en
tered the Hamilton office, spoke a
jocose word to a stepographer and
; a moment later presumably began
to tell of the wedding with Ther

ed agony of having sent her son to
Hamilton to make peace, was un

her father’s office.
The fragile blonde girl leaned
heavily on the arm of an elder
sister, Helen, as she was led to a
waiting automobile outside her
apartment for a brief drive.
Helen Hamilton declined to dis
cuss any phase of the case, and
Mrs. R. H. Hamilton, her mother,
likewise refused to divulge any in
formation that might shed further
light on the shooting of the for
mer University of Texas boy oth
er than to say newspaper reports

exception to Judge George Cal
houn's charge to a Travis
county grand jury in which he
quoted the constitution as a
guarantee against illegal search.
Captain Frank Hamer of the
state rangers today openly criti
cized the jurist.
“I don't see why he did not
say ‘Turn the bootleggers out of
Jail, pat them on the back, and
indict the officers’, and be done
with it.” Hamer stated.
Asked if he would keep up his
raiding, he replied:
"I’m not going to miss it If
he doesn’t like the raids I’m
making he can assemble his
