TRESTLES BUILT out into the
gulf during construction of the jet
ties at Brazos Santiago pass afford
a splendid pier for fishermen—
But a dangerous one.
Dozens have been injured when
they slipped and fell and several
have narrowly missed being killed.
Waves washing over the timbers
make them slick as glass.
If the trestles were floored it
would be perfectly safe to walk to
the end and cast lines into the clear
.water.
And fishing out there is good.
* * •
To floor both trestles, the one or.
the south end of Padre Island and
the one on the north end of Bra
zos Island, would cost approximate
ly $600.
The Eagle Pass Lumber Co. has
agreed to furnish material at cost.
And deliver it at Point Isabel.
A number of fishermen have
agreed to donate their labor in plac
ing the floor.
More than one-sixth of the ne
cessary money has been raised.
Make your check payable to The
Eagle Pass Lumber Co. and send it
either to The Herald or the lumber
company at Brownsville or Point
Isabel.
Quick action will provide two fine
fishing piers by August 1.
Don’t send more than $100 in anv

PRESENCE OF THE Mediterra
nean fruit fly in Florida and knowl
edge of its presence has not made
the public reluctant to purchase
grapefruit and oranges grown in
that state.
This is the result of a survey just
.completed by the Florida Citrus ex
change.
Replies to a questionnaire prove
that competitors of Florida hve not
■used presence of the fly to their own
advantage, the exchange declares.
* * •
ANOTHER POSSIBLE source of
infestation by the Mediterranean
fruit fly has been discovered and
closed.
Jim D. Ramsey, secretary of the
La Feria Booster club, wired the
state department of agriculture
that passengers were permittee, to
come ashore at Galveston with
Florida citrus fruit. This was Fri
day.
Saturday the matter was taken
up with federal authorities.
Monday inspectors were dispatch
ed to all Texas ports.
In the future it is assumed all in
coming passengers will be requiied
to declaie any citrus fruit they have
with them.

Boats plying between New York
and Galveston had been given per
mttsion to put in at Florida ports
cim permit their passengers to dis
embark for a short visit, but a
promise had been exacted that they
would not be permitted to bring cit
rus fruit aboard, Ramsey was in
formed.
A woman visiting the Valley who
came ashore at Galveston with
Florida fruit said almost 100 pas
sengers boarded the boat at Miami
with citrus fruit. She also charged
that the boat offered fruit for sale
in Miami and after it had sailed
from that port.
The Valley should thank Mr. [
Rmsey for the promptness with;

ing of Woman’s Vi
gilance Committee
Stirred by the recent series of au
tomobile accidents in the Valley
among them two hit-and-run
crashes in which drivers sped away,
leaving their victims in serious
condition, a group of Valley wom
en, with the indorsement of county
officials, have launched a campaign
to put a stop to reckless driving.
At least a score of crashes, in
which some 50 or more persons
have been iniured during the l*st
two weeks is the direct impetus for
the campaign, which includes in its
plans the formation of a woman’s
vigilance committee, to report reck
less motorists to officers.
Plans for a giant motorcade in
the Valley forming at Rio Grande
City to start the campaign of edu

Woodfin cf Rio Hondo, w'ho has
obtained the indorsement of Valley
officials and various civic organiza

FORGERY TRIAL
PAPERS LOST
Justice B. L. Cain Had Plan
ned Filing Evidence
As Usual
Judge B. L. Cain Tuesday an
nounced that “papers in the Jester
case have either been misplaced by
me or taken by someone from a
drawer in my desk.”
The justice of the peace said he
had made a thorough search of all
contents of his office in the base
ment of the court house, “and that
papers are nowhere to be found.”
This new development in the
case came after a trial last week in
which a charge of forgery and pass
ing a forged instrument against
Deputy Sheriff S. M. Jester was
dismissed.
“The papers included orders by
Judge E. M. Valdetero of San Be
nio transferring the case to my
court testimony taken during the
hearing, and the check presented
as evidenec by the state.
"Of course, I already have en
tered the order of the court in the
examining trial docket and person
ally have no further use for the
papers, but it is customary to file
them for possible future reference
in the office of the district clerk.
I always put such papers in he
second drawer of my desk, and at
the end of each month send them
up for filing. I still am hopeful that
I may run across them.”
Sheriff W. F. Brown said he had
not been asked to start an invesi
gation. "Authorities have not asked
our help in the matter,” Brown
said. “We know nothing more
about it.”
Assistant District Attorney Mil
ton West, who with Judge V. W.
Taylor prosecuted the case, and he
did not know whether any action
would be taken concerning the dis
appearance of the papers.
County Attorney Hall was not in
his office Tuesday, when it was
asked if action would be aken ttaare.

PLANE IN AIR
246 HOURS AS
CROWDS WAIT
Leaky Oil Spray On
Ship Fails to Pre
vent Continuation of
Flight
ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 23.—
<AP).—Dale “Red’ Jackson and
Forest O’Brien, piloting the mono
plane “St Louis Robin,” passed
the world’s record for sustained
flight at 2:00:39 p. m. today after
they had been flying 246 hours,
43 minutes and 32 seconds.
ST. LOUIS, July 23.— —
The "St. Louis Robin” was still
circling above Lambert-St. Louis
field at one p. m. today, Central
standard time, when it began the
last hour of flying between it and
equalling the world endurance
flight record. The plane must re
main up until 32 seconds past 3
p. m., however, to officially set a
new record under the rules of the
National Aeronautic association.
The endurance plane piloted by
Dale Jackson and Forest O’Brine,
took on a light load of sixty gallons
of gasoline when it refuled as it en
tered its eleventh day of flight at
7:17 a. m., and then began making
wide circles above the field. The
weather was clear.
The fliers reported “everything
is all right” and "we are ready to
start another endurance flight.”
They had said last night they
planned to stay up as long as the
motor would function.
The wives of the fliers went up
this morning and waved greetings to
them.
The first sign of any trouble
aboard the “St. Louis Robin” was
indicated in a note sent down this
morning saying the fliers were being
bothered by oil spraying over the
cabin windows. Some anxiety was
felt that this might develop into
serious trouble as a leaky oil line
forced the “Missouri Robin.” sister
endurance plane, to land yesterday.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 23.—(/P)—
Only an unforseen contingency can
keep the crown of endurance flying
from capping the performance of
Dale “Red” Jackson and Forest
O'Brine, piloting the .St. Louis Rob
in today. A few hours remained,
compared with the 10 days in air,
for the plane soaring over Lambert
St. Louis field, before the present
246-hour, 43 minute, 32 second rec
ord of the Angeleno is eclipsed.
A city-wide celebration was
planned for 2:01 p. m., (Central
standard time) when the plane will
equal the present world mark. The
St. Louis Robin, escorted by Jwo
squadrons of planes, will circle the
downtown section while factory
whistles and aerial bombs give noisy
congratulations.
The pilots expect to continue af
ter the hour needed to definitely
establish a new record. A note
dropped last night read: “Motor
running fine. Both feeling good.
Just 22 hours until we start on an
other endurance flight. We don’t
believe it necessary to be ‘tough
hombres’ to be endurance fliers.”
Flyers Cautioned
The fliers were cautioned yester
day to keep their log carefully by
Major Albert Bond Lambert, offi
cial observer, and to remain with
in sight of ground observers. Major
Lambert pointed out their baro

Jury Selection In
Leahy Sanity Trial
To Be Day's Work
GEORGETOWN, Texas, July 23.
—(A5)—The tedious process of se
lecting a jury for the sanity trial
of Harry J. Leahy, under death pen
alty for the slaying of Dr. J. A.
Ramsey of Mathis .continued here
today. After a number of talesmen
had been excused through disqual
ification or challenge, only one ju
ror had been added shortly before
noon to the four selected yesterday.
With the unexpected trouble in
choosing 12 men to hear testimony
regarding the defendant's sanity,
continuing, it was expected that all
of today’s session would be con
sumed in getting a jury.
The crowd attending court today
was greatly diminished compared
with that of the first day, due un
doubtedly to the routine of Jury se
lection.
Leahy sat carelessly as the case
dragged along, apparently uninter
ested in developments and unmoved
as prospective jurors were ques
tioned concerning their attitude to
ward the death penalty.

SAYS MILITARY
EXPENSES OF
U.S. TOO MUCH
Board of Officers Will
Determine Branches
In Which Reduc
tions Due
WASHINGTON, July 23.—(JPy—
President Hoover intends to estab
lish a commission of army officers
within the general staff to see what
can be done toward reducing mili
tary expenditures.
The commission, the president
said today, would be charged with
making an extensive inquiry to de
termine what has been made obr
solete by scientific advancements
and could be done away with, and
what army programs can be spread
over longer periods that originally
intended and at the same time
maintain complete and adequate
preparedness.
The president said the purely mil
itary expenses of the United States
constitutes a military budget great
er than that of any other nation
and at a time when he considers
there is less danger of war than at
any period within the last 50 years.
The possibility of tax reduction,
he added, was dependent to a-large
extent upon an ability to curtail
military and naval expenditures. He
regards the national situation as
modified by the Kellogg treaty and
said he was hopeful that expendi
tures might be saved through a
naval disarmament agreement.
The president said that as now
estimated purely military expendi
tures will constitute one half of
the increased government odllay
estimated by 1933.
It is now estimated, he said, that
the military outlay for 1933 will be
$803,000,000, which is $120,000,030
more than the similar expenditure
for the fiscal year just closed, and
compares with an average pre-war
expenditure for the military ac
tivities of the army and navy of
$266,000,000 annually.
LIONS DISCUSS
ROAD PROJECTS
Paving to Boca Chica And
Military Highway Come
Up At Luncheon
Paving of the Boca Chica road,
and the completion of the military
highway as one of the most import
ant civic projects being sponsored by
the Lions was again placed before
the members at the meeting of the
club on Tuesday by Bascom Cox,
president, who called attention to
the advantages of completing this
portion of the county paving vrithm
the near future, both from the point
of economy, and for the sake of
trade improvements.
Mr. Cox explained the part play
ed by the Harlingen water district,
which, organized as it is under a
certain section of the constitution,
prevents the issuance of more than
$70,000 of the $2,000,000 remaining
bonds voted by the county for im
provement. He recommended that
the Lions, in conjunction with the
other service clubs should continue
their agitation to bring about the
conversion of the district, and it
was decided that speakers should be
invited to the next meeting of the
club to still further clarify the situ
ation, and possibly suggest some
plant of action.
A number of incidents involving
little known phases of international
relations coming within the range
of the military intelligence depart
ment were related by Captain John
N. Merrill, formerly an officer in
the United States army, who was
guest speaker at the Lions luncheon
on Tuesdr.'.

cal post of the American Legion, call
ed the attention of the club to a
membership drive to be taken up by
the post at the meeting on Thursday
evening, urging that any Lions eli
gible for membership join at once
and that they assist in enrolling
other eligible men. He also gave a
brief account of his vacation ir
Kansas, giving an interesting story
of the airplane factories at Wichita

(Special to The Herald!
MERCEDES, July 23.—Two men,
discovered in the act of carrying
away several sacks of merchandise
from the Hartman dry goods store
here early Tuesday morning, es
caped when they Vere fired upon
by Night Watchman Fred Wilkins,
in the business district of Mercedes.
The two men dropped three sacks
of merchandise and took to their
heels. It is thougtht one of thd
men was struck.
About 1:30 a. m an alarm was
turned in to the watchman, notify
ing him that lights were burning
in the store and apparently some
one had entered.
On his way to the store, as ha
was passing the Elks’ club, Wilkins1
noticed the men carrying the loot*'
He fired three shots, and the, pen
took to their heels, leaving the sacks
behind.
Herman Hartman, proprietor oJ
the store, said, after examining thS'
various entrances, that he could no#1
understand how the men entered oJ
left the store. None of the locks
were molested, no windows weret
broken, and the doors were just aS
they had been when the store wasf
closed-Monday night. |
The only theories he could ad
vance for the mysterious entrance
and exit were that the robber#
either had a pass key or had hidden
in the store before it was closed
for business Monday.
The safe and cash register in th#
store were unmolested.
