VALLEY1SM:
The Valley Is one of the few
remaining places where the hunt
er has need of carrying more
than one box of shells to the
field.
(The above has been amply
demonstrated to the writer, who.
on several occasions has used
four boxes on ducks or three on
white wings. The point is that
in Missouri or Kansas one can
hunt all day and be lucky to see
enough game for ten or fifteen
Shots.)—By K. W. Calvin. Har

Be First Witness
Called, Committee
Chairman Says
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10
— (/P) —The senate naval
committee today voted for
an investigation of activities
by American Shipbuilding
Corporations in connection
with international naval lim
itations conferences.
The committee’s decision
must be approved by the
senate.
A resolution to authorize the in
quiry was expected to be offered by
Senator Borah, republican. Idaho,
who first called upon the committee
to inquire into statements by Wil
liam B. Shearer, big navy advocate,
that he was employed by shipbuild
ing corporations to represent them
at the unsuccessful 1927 Geneva
conference.
Another meeting of the commit
tee was called for Thursday, by
which time it was expected the sen
ate would have authorized the in
quiry.
Chairman Hale of the committee
said he expected Shearer would be
the first witness called.
BETHLEHEM SEVERS
SHEARER CONNECTION
WASHINGTON. Sept. 10.—(/Pi—A
letter from E. G. Grace, president of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation,
made public at the White House
today, said the company had sever
ed connections with William B
Shearer as soon as It had deter
mined he was a propagandist.
The letter, addressed to President
Hoover, was in response to a state
ment by the chief executive saying
he could not- believe directors of
shipbuilding corporations had a di
rect part in Shearer's activities, but
that ‘ their statement of the case''
was desired.
Shearer was employed by the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
Grace's letter said, to act as an ob
server at the Geneva disarmament
conference for a $25,000 fee. of
which Bethlehem was to pay a
third.
The communication added that as
soon, however, as Charles M.
Schwab and Grace ascertained that
Shearer had few years been "an ac
tive propagandist" regarding Amer
i lean naval polices the connection
was severed.

Europe Want* Pact
Free From Politic*
GENEVA. Sept. 10.—<JPy—League
of Nations circles speculated today
on the form which Aristide Briand o
| “United States of Europe” would
take.
Several factors in the speculation
| were particularly noticeable:
First, growing enthusiasm for the
project; second, disinclination to
foster a political union: and third,
increasing belief that its function
should be solely economic.
The success which crowned M.
Briand's launching of the ship of
European confederacy has caused
an immense impression, and today
some of the twenty eight national
delegations invited to the French
premier s luncheon yesterday were
beginning to think they had got
aboard a big thing historically.

SEVEN JURORS
ACCEPTED I
ROGERS TRIAL
Second Day Witnesses
One Clash Between
Attorneys As Becky
Sits Unconcerned
NEW BRAUNFELS. Texas. Sept.
10.—VPh-'Two additional Jurors were
accepted tentatively today in the
trial here of Mrs. Rebecca Bradley
Rogers, charged with robbery with
firearms in connection with the hold
up of the Farmers National bank at
Buda, Texas. In 1926. Five jurors
were accepted yesterday, the first
day of the trial.
Opinion was expressed by District
Attorney Fred L. Blundell of Lock
hart, chief of the prosecution, that
the Jury would be completed today
from the remaining 62 veniremen of
a panel of 122.
Technical Queries
Technical queries touching on In
sanity which many of the German
Amerlcan jurors found difficulty in
understanding slowed up progress
in the trial, and in many instances
attorneys were forced to resort to
the practical test of cotton sacks
balanced on scales to explain the
weight of testimony the defense
would be required to reveal from
witnesses before the former Univer
sity of Texas co-ed could be liberat
ed on an insanity plea.
At one juncture of today's ses- !
slon after Otis Rogers, the defend
ant's husband, had twice repeated
the phrase, "If you find this little
girl is insane when she committed
the robbery, will you let me take
her home with me.” Dltrict Attor
ney Blundell was on his feet with
the objection that tne defense at- I
tomey was "making a speech and
taking up time uselessly." This was
the only break In the otherwise mo
notonous questioning.
Becky Unconcerned
Apparently unconcerned with the
selection of the men who were to
determine her fate. Mrs. Rogers
today toyed with a handkerchief in
her lap and did not speak during
the morning to those around her.

NEW FREIGHT
RATE GAINED
FORMERS
Southern States Will
Demand More Citrus
Than Valley Will Be
Able to Ship
A market so vast that Valley orch
ards will be unable to supply It has
been opened in Southwestern terri
tory for grapefruit through a special
and favorable freight rate Just secur
ed by the local representative of the
Texas Citrus Fruit Growers Ex
change.
The states south of the Potomao
and Ohio rivers, and east of the Mis
sissippi. closed to Florida by federal
quarantine on account of the MedS
terreanan fruit fly infestation in
that state, is demanding Valley
grapefruit. Figures on shipments
from Florida last year into the af
fected states show that Valley pro
duction will not supply the demand,
after the regular customers in estab- j
lished outlets are cared for.
Special Rate
There never has been a special
freight rate in grapefruit into this
territory from the Valley before on
account of the lack of demand for
it. The existing rate was so high
that Valley grapefruit could not have
moved under It.
The Citrus Exchange, which asked
that the rate be established, has beer
advised that the Southern Pacific
and Missouri Pacific have field a
joint application and have submitted
a joint docket to all carriers.
The rates established in this ap
plication are low enough to make a
considerable saving to Valley ship-)
pers and to permit Valley grapefruit
to enter that territory for the first!
time.
Vast New Market
On account of these states being
so much nearer to Florida than to
the Valiev and because freight rates
are considerably lower from Florida
than they ever can be from the Val
ley, they are expected to begin using
Florida fruit as soon as it is avail
able. But local growers believe the
more discriminating buyers in that
territory, once they have sampled
the superior quality of Valley grape
fruit will demand it. and that thus ;
the Valley will permanently gain an
outlet for a considerable production
The states affected and the num
ber of cars of Florida grapefruit used
last year bv each are: Alabama 234.
Georgia 325 Kentucky 165. Mississip

MILES AN HOUR
Young Lieutenant Sets
Amazing Record An
nounced After Three
Hours Calculation
CALSHOT. England, Sept.
10.—(>P)—Riding a blue and
silver seaplane, Squadron
Leader A. H. Orlebar, cap
tain of the British Schneider
cup team, today raced down
a marked course of three
i kilometers here to break all
i the speed records in the
world and set a new mark of
; 368.8 miles an hour.
Clocked by a new timing device,
the results of which were an
nounced more than three hours
after the actual flight. Orlebar'*
I average for four consecutive dashes
over the course on Southampton
water was 355 8 miles an hour, or
23.31 miles an hour better than the
new’ record established Saturday
by Flying Officer R. L. R. Atcher
ley m the Schneider cup race.
Another Breaks Record
Flight Lieutenant G. H. Stain
forth, who preceded Orlebar with a
Gloster-Napier six, also bettered
Atchc-rley's record with a mark of
336 3 miles an hour.
When the official announcements
finally were made, Orlebar’s four
individual runs of the course were
given as at the rate of 368.8, 345.3.
365.5 and 343.7 miles an hour. This
gave him an average of 355.825 for
j the four trials.
Lieutenant Stainforth’s best four
j runs were 351.3, 328.3, 336.2, and
I 329.3, giving him an average of
i 336.3 miles an hour. Although
I Orlebar raised the former Italian
record of 318 miles an hour, it was
understood another attempt would
be made soon because the British
believe that still greater speeds with
the machines.
Swifter than any human being
has ever traveled, the youthful
British ace, Orlebar, yet failed to
attain the maximum speed which
he might have made had the visi
bility been better. He believed ho
could have done about 375 miles an
hour under more favorable condi
tions.
Visibility Poor
Stainforth also was hampered be
poor visibility. His machine was
[ frequently lost to sight in the haze
as he streaked along the course
after flattening put from a swift
dive.
Official announcement of the
British airmen s achievements was
made late in the attemoon, after
a long session by timers and math
I ematicians.
i Orlefchr flew the super-marine
