Gov. Moody Sure to
Veto Pen Relocation
Bill, Friends Think
——————#
By RAYMOND BROOKS
AUSTIN, May 18.—The legisla
ture will come back to Austin in
• June to work over much of the
shell-torn ground covered in the
past four months.
Work of the new session has been
broadened to include appropriation
bills, gasoline sales tax increase,
motor license fee reduction, blue
sky and public utilities control, all
passed over unfinished in the dog
days of the expiring present ses
sion.
Belief that Gov. Dan Moody’s
veto will send prison relocation
back across the rocky path of
legislation, supplemented his prom
ise to again offer a civil service bill
for added work in the next round.
{ Legislative leaders abandoned
their plan of limiting the new ses
; sion to two weeks. It is admitted
' now that the lawmakers will have
difficulty in working out from un
der the volume of matters before
them in a full 30 days.
Final action on promised resolu
tions based on the Joint investi
gating committee report censuring
Land Commr. J T Robinson's con
duct of university oil land leasing
was believed certain to be another
topic for the June assembly.
Gov. Moody has acceded to the
plea of the lawmakers that they
be allowed to spend a few days at
home between sessions. As a re
sult. they will draw approximately
$3,000 more In mileage fees than
had they been recalled the next
day after adjournment.
Most members advocated a 13
| day recess between sessions. This
will bring them back to Austin
June 3. Should this long a recess
be denied. Gov. Moody will recon
vene the solons May 27.
The present session, which prob
ably will take its place in history
as the most fruitless 30 days ever
spent by the lawmakers In Aus
tin. turned out one bill of import
ance, the prison centralization
measure, and that bill Gov.
Moody’s closest advisers say he
likely will veto. The double-bar- j
rel prison centralization bill was:
adopted as a compromise between
house factions, a compromise be-1
tween the house and senate, and
seemingly a grudging concession to
the principle of free relocation for
which Gov. Moody fought a four
months' campaign.
This 30-day session cost close to
the $100,000 which the legislature
set aside for its mileage and per
diem expenses. The regular session
cost $265,000.

(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO. May 18.—A com
mittee to solicit $13,000 in stock

T. Lomax, president of the cham-1
bcr of commerce, directors of that
organization decided at a meeting
Friday night.
The condition on which the plant
was erected here was that San Be
nito subscribe $15,000 of the $65,000
necessary for construction. Of this *
total only $2,000 has been subscribed, I
it was pointed out at the meeting.
John Shary. president of the ex
I change, explained that his organiza
j tlon went ahead and built the plant
on the assurance of San Benito peo
ple that they would furnish the re
quired amount in stock, the build
ing being rushed in order to have
it read for the citrus season just
closed.
Several visitors, including mem
bers of a committee named at the
time was proposed here, were pres

This was revealed when a copy )
of the quarantine regulations ar
rived Saturday.

wired to Terrell in Austin. In less
than two hours after the wire had
gone to Austin a reply had been
received here informing Wilson of
the absolute quarantine.
Wilson had Informed Terrell that
Florida fruit was stored in Corpus
Christi, Houston and San Antonio.
Inspectors were dispatched imme
diately to all three cities to see that
the terms of the quarantine were
not violated.
Under the terms of the quarantine
Florida fruit is barred from 49 coun
ties in South Texas, throwing up a
protective wall abound the Valley.
The regulations also empower in

There were 80 of the guns found
under the floor of the brick build

and have bayonets.
The cap and ball type of fire
arms did not come into general use
until 1835. It was used by Ameri

opinion expressed is that the guns
were buried during the war between
the U. 8. and Mexico in 1848.
One of the guns have been given
to Fred Kowalski of this city.

Transcript In Judge
Leslie Appeal Taken
From Travis Court
AUSTIN, May 8.—Transcript in
the appeal of Dist. Judge J. E. Les
| lie of Hidalgo county from the in
structed jury verdict in favor of
Gordon Griffin, contestant of the
district judge election, was taken
from Travis county district court
Saturday for filing in third aivil
appeals court here.
The verdict held that ballots in
cluding those of the Weslaco box
which were not counted originally
should be recounted. Griffin claim
1 ed inclusion of the Weslaco box
would put him ahead in the county
; for district judge.
Judge Leslie, incumbent is hold- I
ing office under bond pending final
! disposition of the case. The orig- ]
Inal decision of the Travis county
court ordered that Hidalgo county
commissioners recount the vote of
the general election from which the
contest arose, including the Wes-1
laco box. on April 30.
This order of the court was set *
aside by filing of the appeal and
perfecting of bond py Leslie.
The principal contention of Grif-!
fin and his witnesses in the trial
at Austin was that had the Wes
laco box been included in the re
turns he would have been elected i
This box was not counted, mem
ters of the commissioners court
testified, because the flap of the
envelope containing the returns had
not been sealed as required by law
The court held this was insuffi
cient cause for throwing out the
returns of a box.
Contests have been filed in Hi- 1
dalgo district courts for almost ev- I
ery office in the county and the
Independents contend inclusion of
returns from the Weslaco box will
