UNDY INAP TRAIL SOUGHT MONEY MART PARIS, Sept. 22.—(JP)—The trail of the Lindbergh kidnapers was sought today by Paris police who said they had the name of a man who had in his possession a £1,000 note identified by the Bank of England as part of the ransom money extorted from Col. Charles A Lindbergh last year. {The Lindbergh ransom money was paid in United States $5, $10, and $20 bills, and heretofore there has been no report that British currency was involved. The Amer ican bills might, however, have been exchanged for British curren cy and the £1,000 note later have been traced to that exchange.) Three men were arrested in Ant werp, it was reported after trying to cash the British note. It later disappeared but was recovered in a Judges wastebasket. One of the prisoners later revealed that the bill had been enclosed in an enve lope addressed to the Judge and mailed after the three had been surrounded by police. The judge thought the matter a Joke and gave the envelope to a clerk who crumpled it and threw it away. AMERICAN CONSUL CHECKS EXCHANGE NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—(/P)—Po lice learned today from Washing ton that the American Consul General at Antwerp.

(£>)—Gov. Mir iam A. Ferguson’s action attaching recommendations in for specific leg islation to her message to the spe cial session of the legislature didn’t set well with certain members, es pecially the more pronounced of the anti-Ferguson element. The governor sent three bills with her message, one suggesting how the unemployment relief bonds should be handled another to suspend the anti-trust laws and a third to en able political subdivisions to tike full advantage of the public works construction act. While this procedure irked some members it was not an unusual cus tom. Former Gov. R. S. Sterling sometimes attached bills to mess ages to the legislature. Administration and anti-adminis tration lines were drawn sharply and swiftly in the house on the first day of the special session, thereby verifying in a measure the prediction that the session would be one of considerable turbulence. The cleavage came when Rep. Weaver Moore of Houston moved that bills dealing with anti-trust legislation be sent to the house Judiciary committee instead of to the state affairs committee. Moore said he didn’t like the complexion of the state affairs committee so far as anti-trust matters were con cerned. The administration cudgel was taken up by Reps. T. H. McGregor of Austin and W. E. Pope of Cor pus Christi, McGregor moving that the anti-trust legislation be en trusted to the state affairs commit tee. The motion later was with drawn and an effort made to sub mit the bills to the house as a com mittee of the whole. This was defeated and by a vote of 83 to 41 the legislation was con signed to the judiciary committee, which late in the regular session last May declined to take any action to ward modifying or suspending the anti-trust laws. WATER LOANS SAID LIKELY (Special k> The Herald) HARLINGEN, Sept. 22.—Assur ance has been given that refinanc ing loans to be made Valley ir rigation districts and Emil Schram, chief of the drainage, levee and irrigation division of the Recon struction Finance Corp., expects to visit this section shortly, he said in a letter to W. B. Lewis of the firm of Greenwood & Lewis which rep resents a number of districts which have made application. A majority of the districts in the Valley have made application for these loans which would be used to buy up outstanding bonds at a discount. Indebtedness of the dis tricts would be reduced as would be the interest rate. A number of Valley districts are in dire need of this type of federal aid since they cannot pay off out standing obligations with conditions as they are and at the rate of in terest they are paying, said Mr. Lewis. Lewis was in Washington at the time the law making these loans available was framed and he wrote part of it. He has spent several months in Washington in the in terest of Valley districts. He pointed out that only $50,000, 000 is available for this type of loan but that applications total $500,000,000 or ten times this amount. This will mean that a great many districts will be disap pointed. The Wichita Falls and Medina projects in Texas have been ap proved subject to inspection, Mr. Lewis said. bcnram said in ms letter that he expected to come to Texas shortly to confer with Robert Jones Easley, appraiser for the Reconstruction Finance Corp. in this state. He said also that he might give the Valley a few days more in which to re habilitate itself before coming here. “Following my visit, I hope to arrange to have Mr. Easley ap praise the districts in southern Texas which have applied to the corporation for refunding loans,” Mr. Schram said in conclusion. TOOK PIUS TOR 30 YEARS, THEN CEREAL BROUGHT RELIEF Mr. Forsythe Endorses All Bran for Constipation If you suffer from headaches, loss of appetite and energy or any other of the frequent effects of con stipation, read this voluntary letter: “After taking pills and tablets for about thirty years for consti pation, I started to take your All Bran three times a day according to directions. Today I can eat cheese, and that is binding, and certainly feel fine.”—Mr. Ed. For sythe, Box 219, Youngstown, N. Y Science says All-Bran provides “bulk” to exercise the intestines, and vitamin B to further aid regu lar habits. In addition, All-Bran is rich in blood-building iron. The “bulk” in All-Bran is much like that of leafy vegetables. Inside the body, it forms a soft mass which gently clears the intestines of wastes. Isn't this pleasant "cereal way” far more healthful than using pat ent medicines—so often haoit forming? Just-eat two tablespoonfuls daily. In serious cases use with each meal. If not relieved this way, see your doctor. Get the red-and-green package at your grocer’s. Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek Fruit Flies Show Strong Liking For \Homebrew9Parties (Special to The Herald) HARLINGEN, Sept. 22.—The gov ernment of the United States of America will be host at a “home brew party” in the Valley shortly with what it is hoped will be an extremely limited attendance. The “brew” will consist of sugar, malt, yeast and water placed In fruit fly traps as bait and M. H. Three ‘Shots’ Are Needed for Typhoid (Special to The Herald) HARLINGEN, Sept. 22.—None of the three “shots” given to immunize storm victims against typhoid fever are “suppoeed" to make one sick although they may do so in some cases, it was said at offices of the state department of health at the city hall. The belief is prevalent that one of the three injections will cause the person immunized to become ill, it was said, but this is not true. More than 50.000 have received their first injections but some dif ficulty is being encountered in hav ing these return for their second and third “shots” which are necessary to complete the treatment. The “three shot method” has been found the only one giving complete pro tection. it was said. • Jobless Clearing House Established (Special to The Herald) MERCEDES, Sept. 22.—D. B. Smith has been appointed manager of a reemployment office for skilled or professional labor which has been opened here under the Texas Re habilitation and Relief Commission. While the reemployment office is being operated in conjunction with the RPC office, it functions separ ately. Ail unemployed skilled and pro fessional laborers are requested to register at the office, which will act as a clearing house for laborers and employers, Mr. Smith stated. Police in Prague, Czechoslovakia, have a system of teletypewriter communication. — Ford of the federal Inspection for ces is the official brewmaster. Although the ingredients are somewhat the same as for beer, the brew prepared for the fruit flies is not regarded as a very palatable potion for human beings since the proportions are not the same and no special precautions are taken as to sanitation in its preparation. This information is given to fore stall any raids which might be contemplated by readers of this article who are advised to stick with 3.2. The bait will be used in new glass traps which have been purchased by the state and federal depart ments of agriculture, plies enter from the bottom when they smell the brew. They are supposed to par take of the potion, fly around a bit and then fall In the liquid. The flies do not escape because they al ways seek to do so at the top,” for getting that they entered at the bottom. H. C. Baker of the federal depart ment of agriculture who developed the poison spray used in the spring to kill fruit flies is developing a more suitable bait for use in the traps. The “home brew” bait is us ed for many insects. Sometimes stale beer is used. in view of the limited fruit pro duction, it is believed that it will be much easier to eliminate flies than ever before, if any infestations are found it will be easier to stamp them out, said p. A. Hoidale, in spector in charge. --- - - ■ - DON’T REBUILD until you get our low contract price; no job is too large or too small. We go anywhere in the Valley.

(/P)—The New York stock exchange will lose about 25 of its most active stocks on Oct. 2, when trading will def initely be started in New Jersey, it was asserted in well-informed brokerage quarters in Wall street today. Leading brokers said with con viction that trading on the newly organized Nev Jersey stock ex changes would start on that date, regardless of whether or not Mayor O’Brien had signed the law providing for New York City taxes in brokers and stock transfers by that time. Whiie trading will begin with only abou. 29 stocks, it was ex plained that the New Jersey list would be expanded as rapidly as mechanical facilities would permit. Also, it was said that as soon as stocks were removed to New Jer sey, trading In those shares would cease in the New York exchange. In the meantime, stock exchange quarters were prepared to wage a strong legal contest against the new city taxes. Regardless of the outcome of this contest, many members of the exchange said they favored moving to New Jersey, to avoid the New York state stock transfer and income taxes already in effect. Some leaders in the financial district feared dire consequence# to the Wall street area of the city, should the stock exchange be re moved, lockstock and barrel. It was explained that the stock exchange had been the chief fact or in knitting the financial district together and holding it on the tip of Manhattan Island.
