VALLEY
THE FAME of County Judge O
C. Dancy as a road-builder has be
come state-wide.
Dancy, along with other good
roads enthusiasts, has been ap
i pointed to serve on a publicity com
mittee which has for its purpose to
convert voters of Texas to the idea
of a state highway bond issue.
It is the purpose of this group,
named at a meeting held in Austin,
to spread information on the need
of a properly financed highway
scheme that there will be no dan
ger of n state amendment failing
to pass when it is submitted to the
people.
• • •
The meeting was called by Ross
Sterling, chairman of the state
highway commission, and original
darker of the state-bond issue plan
*^S:erllng has been mentioned as a
candidate for governor on the
“state highway bond issue" plat
form.
The committee of which Dancy is
ft member was chosen from all parts
of the state and it will be the pur
pose of that group to tell the merits
of the state finance plan.
Judge Dancy (The initials are
O. C. and stand for Oscar Con
crete) will tell them all that con
crete is the only type of construc
tion.
• • •
rHE COUNTY JUDGE is to at
tend a meeting of the Hug-thc
Coast highway association directors
to be held in Port Lavaca Friday.
This association has just been re
vived for the purpose of pushing to
completion the road which some
day will cut many miles off the
route from Houston to the Valley
and which will provide a new scenic
drive to entice tourists.
The road is to extend from
Brownsville to Orange and most of
the paving already is financed. One
of the largest gaps left open is in
Kenedy county. There no right-of
way has been secured and no move
has been made to connect with the
roads which soon will end at the
county line on the south and north.
Permit of the state highway com
mission issued to Willacy county to
pave the road north from Ray
mondville to the Kenedy border is
taken by some to indicate that
state highway officials think the
Kenedy county problem soon will be
solved.
• • •
^ DAY BY DAY in every wav
Vfcashincton park is growing pret
<*tier and prettier.
Twenty artistic concrete benches
have just been placed in that park
and now about all that is needed
is some large trees and palms.
These will be provided in time by
Commissioner Hinkley.
A picture of Washington park
taken a year ago and a picture of
it today would make an interest
ing comparison.
THE REGATTA to be staged by
the Point Isabel Yacht club Aug.
17-18. is attracting attention of
sportsmen of Texas. Florida also is
showing interest, having entered
one outboard from Miami. More
than 30 outboards already have
been entered from cut-of-Valley
points. Large delegations are ex
pected from Fort Worth and San
Antonio. Yacht club officials have
arranged for special fares from any
point in Texas on the S. P. and
M. P. lines.
• • •
An annual regatta of importance
would do much to increase the pres
tige of the Valley. If the sports
men of the largir centers came
here once they would probably re
turn bringing others with them.
The Laguna Madre furnishes an ex
cellent place to hold the regatta. It
is landlocked yet amply large to ac
commodate.

Al Smith Supporter Holding Lead in Virginia
POLLARD HAS
BIG MAJORITY
OVER HIS FOES
Regular Dem I& Given
Nomination In Pri
mary Despite.Oppo
sition of Cannon
RICHMOND. Aug. 7.—<AV-Dr.
John Garland Pollard had a major
ity of 66.475 votes over G. Walter
Mapp. his nearest opponent for the
democratic nomination for gov
ernor of Virginia when returns from
1324 of the state’s 1681 precincts
had been tabulated today. Rosewell
Page, the third candidate in the
race trailed far behind, the vote
standing:
Pollard 93.644.
Mapp 27.169.
Page 4.221. ^
Pollard stumped Virginia for Al
fred E. Smith and is generally re
garded as among the Virginia demo
cratic leaders Bishop James Can
non. Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal
church. South, has asked anti
Smith democrats to repudiate.
In his campaign against Dr. Wil
liam Moseley Brown, noinirtated for
1 governor by anti-Smith democrats
; and republicans, political leaders
believe Dr. Pollard will have the
staunch backing of the entire dem
ocratic party. Mr. Mapp hastened
to offer his support in a telegram
sent to Dr. Pollard while Rosewell
Page in his final statement to vot
ers offered his support to the party
nominee in the event he was not
nominated.
Virginians looked forward today
to a campaign far more spirited
than the primary with the possi
bility of many of the issues of the
1928 campaign to be brought to the
fore. Bishop Cannon, who organ
ized the anti-Smith democrats ’-.it
year, has already served notice tha*.
he regards the Virginia election is
an election on the prohibition is
sue and urged anti-Smith demo
crats to repudiate the state leaders
who supported Smith and “Raskob
ism.”
Dr. Pollard’s sweep through the
state was complete, winning every
congressional district on the basis
of unofficial returns tabulated. Only
in the first district. Senator Mapp?
home, was there a possibility that
his majority might be overcome
with additional returns.
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 7.—<Jh—
The democratic solidarity in Louis
iana withstood the stubborn repub
lican attack in the third district
where Numa Kontet. lawyer of
Thibcbaux, was elected to fill the
vnexpired term of the late Repre
sentative Whitmell P. Martin, over
M. R. Norman, republican banker
of Morgan City in yesterday's spe
cial election.
Despite the republican drive di
rected from national headquarters
with the tariff the dominant issue,
the democrat came through with a
majority that may reach three
thousand. With reports missing
from only eleven of the 132 pre
cincts. unofficial returns gave Mr.
Montet a majority of 2700 after a
day of heavy voting that brought
out nearly 20.000.

Assistant State’s Attorney
Discloses Plans Of
State, Charge
CHICAGO. Aug. 7.—(A*)—An as
sistant state’s attorney, who until
recently was head of the indictment
department of the state’s attorney’s
office, was seized for questioning
early today when investigators were
told that he had disclosed the
state's plans to persons involved in
the medical diploma mill investiga
tion.
The attorney. Clarence E. Nelson.
' admitted, prosecutors said, that he
! had loaned an official secret docu
ment concerning the case to George
Kohn. a friend of many years and
former school chum.
Kohn, questioned by Patrick
Roche, chief investigator, and As
sistant State's Attorney George Bel
lows, named Nelson as the man who
had loaned him a statement made
to investigators six weeks ago by
Albert Carl Barron, who since has
been indicted. Kohn said he had
used the statement to frighten Bar
ron into returning money to sev
eral purchasers of forged medical
certificates.
Nelson stated that Kohn had
asked to borrow Barron's state
ment The attorney declared he
had not suspected Kohn's motives
and thought they were purely of an
impersonal and disinterested na
ture.

state's plans climaxed a day of im
portant developments. Officials
earlier had seized a safety deposit
box which, they said, contained
original or forged copies of diplo
mas from practically every accredit
ed medical school in the country.

his education at a nearby boys’
school. He was opposed to college
training. although his brother.
Bishop Camp, was a Yale gradu
ate. The deceased was connected |
for many years with a novelty
manufacturing concern in Chicago.
Although he was opposed to col
lege training, Camp became highly
educated as a naturalist through
his own efforts. He was a constant
reader and devoted the major por
tion of his time to study.
Camp came to the Valley in 1908.
first settling at Lyford. Later he
made Brownsville his home and
soon became established as the
foremost naturalist in south Texas.
He served as federal and state
game warden while studying in the
fields of this section. Several rod
ents and reptiles which he discov
ered have been named for him.
Makes Collection
Camp made a large collection cf
birds, eggs and animals, which is
recognized as the best ever made of
the wild life of south Texas and
northern Mexico. He also was act
ive in seeking legislation to protect
wild lie. The legislators turned io
him for authoritative information,
on the habits and brooding seasons
of birds in south Texas. It wa* the
combined efforts of Camp and J. K.
Wells that made the three bird pre
serves along the lower gulf coast
possible. These are federal preserves
leased to the National Audubon so
ciety. of which Camp was an in
fluential member.
Specimens gathered by Camp are
on display in many of the larger
museums of this country. Some of
them are in the Smithsonian Insti
tution and the University of Texas
collections. The naturalist obtained
specimens for numerous private col
lectors.
Offers Collection
Camp was personally acquainted
with the leading naturalists of the
United States. When they came
here to study wild life, they invar
iably turned to Camp for informa
tion. He often conducted parties of
naturalists through south Texas
and northern Mexico.
His private collection has been
offered the city of Brownsville for
a nominal sum. Camp wished his
collection to remain in the Valiev.
An effort is now on foot to have the
city authorize its purchase.

Remains Cool While
Telling Relations
With Theora Hix
COLUMBUS. Ohio. Aug. 7.—‘/P>—
Dr. James H. Snook today told the
jury in his first degree murder trial
the story of his three-year love af
fair with Theora Hix. the medic co
ed he killed last June 13.
It was a story that detailed their
meeting in June 1926. a ripening
friendship that grew' to intimacy
and ended on a lonely rifle range
near the edge of the city where th^
girl's body, battered and slashed
was found the day after she went
there for her last tryst with the
49-year-old former Ohio state pro
fessor. Dr. Shook testified in a coo!
unruffled voice.
He went to the witness chair after
his wife. Mrs. Helen M. Snook, and
his 67-year-old mother. Mrs. Abner
Snook, had faced the crowded court
room to tell their belief that in the
last frw years Dr. Snook had
changed.
Both women kissed him before
they took the stand and his wife re
mained at the defense table until
he started to testify. Then she
left.
Wife Testifies
The wife who refused to desert
him after he was arrested for the
killing of “the other woman." testi
fied that she had no knowledge of
the affair between her husband and
the girl.
Both the wife and mother testi
fied that recently Dr. Snook had
displayed a mental unrest that had
been in contrast to the calm and
placid disposition that had been his
before he met Mirs Hix.
Dr. Snook said he did not recall
how he was introduced to Miss Hix
“I frequently had conversations
with her at certai times of the day
when I had to go to her office to
have some stenographic work done.
At first we talked about how she
happened to come to the veterinary
building to work. She said she did
not have enough money for her
school work and consequently was
forced to accept employment part
of the time.
Talked of Boy Friend
“In general out conversation was
discussion of her affairs. She spoke
of being left alone then (during the
summer of 1926*. Most of the stu
dents had gone away and she men
tioned that her 'boy friend’ had
gone also. She cid not speak much
about her 'boy friend’ at that time
‘later Dr. Snook learned that the
friend was Marion T. Movers. <who
was employed in the horticultural
department at the university.)
“During the first two weeks of
our acquaintance we talked about
companionate marriages. She said
she though^ companionate marriage
was all right, 'but wThen you lost
your companion, it wasn't.’"
Dr Snook said that after the first
automobile ride he proposed to drive
the girl out a country road and she
agreed.
Taught Her to Shoot
“On the way back some remark
was made about my being married.’
Dr. snook said, “and she gr* out
shelved8’ ^ bl0CkS fr0m where
Ke said he talked to her at in
tervals during the next four or five
weeks and shortly after they began
discussing books on sex and three or
four weeks after, their intimate re
lations began.
Dr Snook said Miss Hix often
asked his advice about persona’
matters. During the summer of
1926, he said he taught her to shoot
and gave her the gun he later
claimed he thought she had with
her the night she was slain
