snhlp of the opposition to the Ar-'
royo Colorado navigation commis
sion’s dredge purchase was rejected
by a tumultuous Rio Hondo mass
netting at the high school Friday
Bv a vote of 22 to 6 (most of the
T5 persons present not voting), the
meeting passed a resolution disap
proving of all criticism of the navi
gation commission as retarding de
velopment of the arroyo and express
ing confidence In the personnel of
the commission.
Only Two Present
The resolution of confidence of
fered by Ed Alter of Rio Hondo was
passed after considerable heckling
Of the chairman, S. L. Williams of
H*y>ir»g»n
Williams and Dr. J. A. Palmer of
Harlingen were the only committee
men present with none of the three
members of the navigation commls
don on hand.
Williams was introduced by J. R.
George of Rio Hondo. Williams de
acribed at length his service to the
Valley and Rio Hondo and how he
came to be chairman of the meeting.
He said that the committee was ap
pointed at a meeting in Rio Hondo
and that he was made permanent
chairman at a mass meeting in Har
lingen. In referring to other mem
bers of the comlttee (A. C. Moody,
Paul H. Brown. M. M. Galloway.
Beryl Hollon) Williams remirked.
“I can’t understand why the commit
tee Is not present.”
Williams charged J. B Chambers,
Br„ of the navigation commission
with having lobbied In favor of a
bill extending terms of the commis
sioners and declared that he had
thereby “disfranchised the Rio Hon
do voters.” He also accused Cham
bers and Joe L. Penry, Jr., commis
sioners with having attempted to
break up the Harlingen meeting
(there was a disturbance on the
floor when Lloyd Stierr.berg and
Paul H. Brown attempted to make
notions that an organization be
formed to investigate the recent
dredge purchase.)
Williams was interrupted at this
point by Tony Kosta who challenged
sis right to be chairman of the
nesting and B. T. Bullis demanded
that Williams present seme new in
formation to the meeting. Ben £
Reed of Combes then demanded
wha* Williams proposed to do about
the dredge deal he had been describ
ing.
Meeting Get* Oat of Hand
Reed, who got 65 signature* to a
petition at Combes, proposed a dis
trict wide petition asking the com
missioners to resign.
Dr. Palmer proposed at this Junc
ture that a secretary be named for
the meeting. Judge Hcdgkins took
the floor to assert that the meeting
should appoint a chairman before it
elected a secretary. The meeting be
came unruly with shouts «f “who ap
pointed the committee” and “where
are they?" Motions to adjourn also
were heard and Dr. E. M. A. Sizer
then asked that Alters motion be
pat before the house There was
some objection that Alters motion
“whitewashed" the commission.
Alter said that there was nc hope
of getting the money back that was
pa*d for a dredee to die a channel
m the arroyo but that criticism was
preventing the work from being
done
Williams nut the question nd Al
ters resolution passed 22 to 6 cn a
Show of hands.
The resolution follows:
“Whereas, the Arroyo Navigation
commissi :n has purchased a dredge;
end
“Whereas, this commission is duly
dected and qualified to represent the
peo^’e of this navigation district;
“Whereas, some dissension has been
Stirred un because of their purchase
of said dredge, and
“Whereas, many reoorts have been
circulated which without any auth

Writer Agrees to Become
'Human Icicle’ for Science
HOLLYWOOD, Calif.. Aug. 10.
(/P)—Stephen Simkhovltch, 34, has
agreed to become a human lclcile
for science under a contract en
tered Into herewith Dr. Ralph 8. 1
Willard, the monkey freezing che- 1
mist
Simkhovltch. powerfully built
scenarist, was chosen for this
unlaue experiment from among 180
persons Dr. Willard said had of
fered themselves in the Interests of
medical science.
The chemist said the experiment
will begin as soon as a refrigera
tor suitable to contain the human
subject can be built.
Attorneys who drew the contract
added that If circumstances arise
to prevent making the experiment
in the United States it will be car
ried out in Mexico or any other
country where no Interference is
offered.
Dr Willard, who said he has
frozen solid and later revived
small animals over a period of six
years is seeking aid for tubercu
losis sufferers, announced he had
brought one Rhesus monkey, nam
ed Jekal, from a frozen £tat*> last
Mr-" day without apparent 111 ef
fects.
A second monkey died and a
third. Dr. Willard said, still is froz
en but Is to be revived next week.
“I ask only a quiet claim.' Sim
khovitch insisted Saturday, “in
event I die I want it so no claim
possibly can be made against Dr.
Willard."
The young scientist insisted he
would not proceed with the experi
ment without the presence of at
least six medical doctors to make
exhaustive physical examinations
of Simkhovitch and watch the en
tire proceeding.
Simkhovitch, who said he was
the son of a professor of economic
history at Columbia University,
and of Mrs. Mary K. Simkhovitch.
a student of sociology In New York,
declared he was prompted only by
a desire to “do something for
humanity for a change."
I wish also to know something
about the soul and Its relation to
the human body." he said. “I wish
to know what happens when a per
son dies and I want to be able to
come back and tell of those hap
penings.
“Life Itself is unimportant where
such vital matters as these are
concerned. Someone must make
these experiments sometime. Why
shouldn’t I be the one to do It?".
REVOLUTIONARY
SHIP IS RAISED
Boat of Bones and Rusty
Cannon Balls In Water
160 Years Viewed
BURLINGTON, Vt.. Aug. 10.—(JP)
—The battle-scarred sloop Phila
delphia, bearing a cargo of human
bones and rusted cannon balls, lay
in shallow water near here Satur
day after a rest of nearly 160 years
at the bottom of Lake Champlain.
The Philadelphia was once a part
of Benedict Arnold's proud fleet.
It went down in defeat at the
bsttle of Valcour Island October 12,
1776, in a fight with British men
o-war and remained undisturbed in
60 feet of water until a recent visit
from divers.
The sloop made Its re-entry into
the world Friday, when It was
raised by a errick aboard a light
er. As its mast, still proudly erect,
showed above water, the salvage
crew halted operations to tie a
Colonial flag back at its top.
Eager searchers boarded the old
sloop as soon as she was in shal
low water and found bones of the
men who had manned her in the
famous battle. They also saw three
holes in the hull below the water
line, mute testimonials to the ac
curate fire of a long-dead British
crew.
Several cannon balls were found
in the sloop. Her gun platform was
just as it had been when the ship
sank and her gun carriage was in
position on its 15-foot runway. The
boat measures about 45 feet in
length.
Although Arnold was defeated,
historians say he elayed the Brit
ish advance from Canada toward
the Hudson river and the expedi
tion was postponed until the fol
lowing year, thus giving the colon
ists time to make better prepara
tions and defeat the British in the
battle of Saratoga.

Practical Training
For Youth Is Urged
(Special to The Herald*
MERCEDES. Aug. 10. — “Com
munity Service” was the subject ol a
talk by Reverend W. E. Johnson,
rector of the St. John's Episcopal
church of San Benito, at the regu
lar meeting of the Mercedes Rotary
club this week.
The provision of practical business
and professional training clashes
for Mercedes school students to aid
them in selecting a business or pro
fession was suggested as a most
beneficial service which might be
undertaken by the Mercedes Rotary
club.
The speaker said: "Our obsolete
educational system has stifled the
imagination of the modem youth.
Teaching from text-bo'.s Is all
right for those who are at the head
of the class, the A and B student,
but for the students at the tail of
the class, school means a burden of
humiliation.
“Young life is dependent upon the
imagination.” Dr. Johnson point
ed out. “We should encourage
young people to express their desires
of what they would like to do in life
and help them fulfill their desires
by giving them the actual training
which they need.”
The speaker suggested that the
Mercedes club aid in providing this
needed training. He said that
there are men in the Mercedes club
representing every business and pro
fession in this community, and sug
gested that 120 boys be formed into
12 classes to be taught by 12 busi
ness and professional men, each In
his own line, giving one hour each
month to the instruction of the
class In his own place of business.
There are now approximately S,
847,400 milch cows in Canada.

PORK PRICES
HIT CEILING
Drouth Hitt At figure
Set By AAA And All
Plans Ruined
■ 1 ■
CHICAGO, Aug. lb—OP>—Nature’s
excessive cooperation with a man
made plan for price raising was
cited by meat authorities Saturday
to account for the present position
of pork In the food list.
While housewives dug deeper In
to their purses, half of the hog pens
in the world s greatest swine mar
ket were closed because the traffic
in porkers was at the lowest ebb in
the 57 years for which records are
available.
It was reportedly the first time
part of the facilities was closed be
cause of a paucity of receipts.
Pork prices have lofted to levels
reminiscent of the “boom” era.
Retail purchasers paid In some In
stances four times as much for
perk chops as a year ago. Packers
paid above $12 for pork, the f'-st
:lme In years hogs had hit the $12
mark.
The cause was attributed to:
1 The 1934 drouth durinsr which
farmers got rid of their hogs as
qu’ckly as possible to avoid losing
I toem from heat, thirst or starva
i ticn.
2 I Tie agricultural adjustment
act which Drovided for the destruc
tion of 6.0'0,000 piggy sows or grown
sowe which would have been on the
market this year. In addition, un
counted prospective Utters were de
stroyed.
Receipts at the union stockyards
for the first four days of the week
totaled 33,600 head of hogs, rhile in
the same period a year ago 86.631
head were received. The estimated
figure for the week is 39.000, the
fewest on record. To date this year
hog receipts amounted to 2.229.000
head, compared with 4.045,000 hogs
received bv this date last year.
Employment in the yards had
fallen to about 200 hog handlers,
where the average Is 70") to 800. A
year ago 860 were employed.
Pork chon prices to the consumer
showed much variation, ranging
from 17 cents a pound at Des
Moines. Ia.. to 50 cents In Cleve
land. Chicago offe-ed chons at 39
cents, 10 cents higher than a week
ago and four times the price offered
at times last year .
Des Moines. In the heart of the
pork producing area, had the low
price on hams also with 19 to 25
cents a pound asked. The price
ranged up to 35 cents. Pork roast
was as low as 17 cents In Oklahoma
City, but sold up to 58 cents a
pound in Kansas City and from
35 2-3 to 37 2-3 cents in New York.
Milwaukee bought roast at 50 cents.

Little Expected To Be
Accomplished At
Conferences
LONDON, Aug. 10.—A*)— The,
odd* for war In Ethiopia were rated,
at 5 to 1 in diplomatic circlet here
Saturday as British minister* put
the finishing touches on a strategy
that Anthony Eden, minister for
League affairs, will follow at the
t'-i-power conferences with Italy
ai-r Prance In Paris next week.
Great Britain. It was stated In
ai thoritative quarters, will press
Italy to reveal the full scope of her
rims in Ethiopia, preferably during
the Paris talks but If not then, cert
ainly at the League Council session
in Geneva Pept. 4.
It is apparent, a spokesman said,
that Ethiopia will definitely relect!
any Italian demands for annexation
or political sovereignty.
For this reason it was felt thst
tne lone hope of averting war. with
its possible far-reaching repercus
sions over Europe, hinges on a full
statement of Italy’s plans—a state
r ent whether II Duce will limit his
activities to frontier protection or
whether he intends to go farther.
Unofficially, there was extreme
pessimism here that the Paris con
ference. starting either Thursday or
Friday, can do more than crysta’ise
the crisis and leave the next step
tor the league.
