wBeacon Light Route
Survey of an aerial beacon light
'oute for night flying • between
Brownsville and Houston and
Brownsville and .‘>>.llas is now be
irg made and will be completed
p.obably within two months. Law*
once C. Elliott, airwiy extension
superintendent of the United
• ™ 1 11
States Department of Commerce
announced today.
Elliott, who is topping here at
Hotel Ei Jardin, personally is in
charge of the survey between
Brownsville and Houston.
Emergency landing fields will be
located along the entire route 30
miles apart, and each of these also
will have a beacon. Other bea
cons will be placed along the route
l at intervals of 10 miles. These
beacons will be of 2.000.000 beam
candlepower and revolve six times
per minute.
To make airmail service and
night flying between Brownsville
and the east as complete and safe
as any route in the United States,
a directional beam will guide planes
to and from the Brownsville air
port.
Radio Stations
Elliott said a radio station prob
ably will be established at Kings
ville to project a directional beam
toward Brownsville, San Antonio
and Houston. Another station is
to be Installed at Houston which
will project to an intersection

Emergency fields, Elliott said,
will be located near Harlingen,
north of Raymondville. at Tor
cotte, Kingsville, Robstown, Sin
ton, YHaori. Victoria, east of
Edna, southwest of Wharton, and
between Wharton and the
Houston airport.
Associated with Elliott in survey
ing the line is Hugh S. Souther,
who now is at Corpus Christi. The
line will follow closely the Missouri
Pacific tracks from Kingsville to
Raymondville. A more direct route
would be along the coast but there
are not sufficient people to take
i care of the lights, and emergency
landing fields, and it also is away
i from all communication in case a
plane should be forced down.
Elliott declared that the system
should be installed and in operation
within nine months.
He has conferred with Harlingen
officials, but an agreement with
them has been held up pending the
outcome of negotiations with Pan
American Airways.
Raymondville. Elliott said, wants
to lease a tract of land to the
government which the city would
buy, and at a later date take It
over and operate it as a munici
pal airport. The plans probably
will be agreed to.
Concluding Agreement*
Agreements with the above cities
and others along the route and
completing of the survey both are
expected to be finished in about
two months.
Night flying would permit a fast
er and more complete service in
carrying the mall and with the di
rectional beam, and a beacon every
ten miles and a landing field every
30 miles, practically all danger will
be eliminated. The radio will be
used to keep the pilot posted on
weather reports.
The emergency field* would be
used only in case the pilot's gaso
line supply ran low, bad weather
is encountered, or a like cause
for descending. Ordinarily no
stops will be made between
Brownsville and Houston on the
one route and Brownsville and
San Antonio on the other.
Elliott said A. H. Walt is now
surveying a similar route from Dal
las to Waco and on south to San
Antonio.

HUNT CAPTORS
OF IDAHO CHIEF
Four Bandits Who Tied
Lieutenant Governor to
Tree Escape
OROFINO. Idaho. June 13.—
Several thousand men and boys
searched this mountainous country
, today for the four young bandits
who yesterday abducted W. B.
J Kinne, lieutenant-governor of Ida
ho, and two men who attempted to
j rescue him.
Kinne escaped uninjured after
| he had been tied to a tree. W. L.
j Tribbey of an Idaho loan associa
j tion. and Paul Kille. a lumber work
er, attempted to rescue Kinne when
! tne bandits halted his automobile,
j Kille was shot in the leg and was
j clubbed over the head and Tribbey
: was badly beaten.
Robbery and the theft of Kinne’s
; automobile apparently were the mo
' tives for the abduction.
Kinne, traveling from Lewiston to
is home here, was attacked by the
bandits shortly after leaving Lew
iston. They boarded his car and
ordered him into the rear. Near
Orofino. Kinne said, a front tire
blew out and the automobile cata
pulted into a ditch.
When Tribbey and Kille drove up
they started to assist the wreck vie- j
tims and were greeted with drawn i
pistols. In a struggle, Kille was
shot and battered into unconscious
ness. The robbers then took Trib
bey's car. loaded the three men in
it and drove for the mountains.
After several hours of aimless
driving they stopped near Greer,
nine miles southeast of here, tied
the men to trees, left one of their
number to guard them, and drove
away. Four hours later the three
bandits returned, got their compan
ion and drove away again. Kinne
and his companions escaped in a j
few minutes.
An owl's flight is noiseless.
All lead compounds are poisonous.

INCOME TAX
VOTE DELAYED
Action Indicates Measure
Will Not Be Put To
Vote This Session
.-*
AUSTIN. June 13.—(JP)—Act ion of
the house committe on revenue and
taxation in deferring a vote on the
income tax bill until next Wednes
day. practically precludes its passage
during this session of the legisla
ture. The committee voted 9 to 7
not to vote on It Friday night.
Representative T. N. Mauritz of
Ganado. author of the original bill,
last night replaced it with a sub
stitute. which he said had been
drawn in collaboration with others.
Senator Edgar Witt of Waco, wha
assisted in its writing, explained its
provisions, and Governor Moody,
who has endorsed a state income
tax as a means of relieving the
homes and farms of the ad valorem
levy was present at the hearing
Senator Witt was lambasted with
a barrage of questions from a large
gathering of persons opposed to an
income tax.
The new bill specifically strikes
down the ad valorem tax. except the
seven cents levy for confederate
pension purposes. Senator Witt said
He declared the constitution pro
\ ides the pension levy shall be mad#
while it stipulates merely that an ad
valorem tax may be levied, not to
exceed 35 cents on the $100 in each
instance, to create a general revenue
fund and for support of the public
schools.
The bill would levy a tax of 1 1-2
per cen ton the first $4,000 of the
net income; three per cent on the
next $4,000 and five per cent on the
balance. Exemptions of $1,500 and
$3,500 would be allowed unmarried
individuals and married person;,
respectively, and $400 for each child
or dependent person. Corporations
would pay on the same basis.
Southmost road, several blocks off
Fourteenth street.
Uses Air—M. Mayo, vice presi
dent of the Texas Drug company at
Houston, returned here from Tor
reon Wednesday by air. Mayo says
his company will use air travel ex
clusively in the future.
