' Fountains. Ohio, after sawing his
way out of the Harlingen city jail

S. immigration authorities at La
redo for a break there, by Harlin
‘ gen police for a break there and by
Matamoros police for an escape from
the bastile in that city.

farm and was recaptured Us San

Clearing Up, Say
Observers
Gulls and changing tides were
steadily removing evidence* of the
latest marine disaster from the coast
In this section Tuesday, following a
strange condition over the week-end
which killed millions of fish.
A slight amount 01 gas was still
noticed Mtnday by persons who went
to the beach, but by Tuesday It had
practically cleared.
The toll included almost all kinds
of fish, the few exceptions being
jewfish, porpoise end large sharks.
Tarpon sufiered heavily. Monday
afternoon two men counted 37 dead
tarpon between Del Mar and the
Brazoe jetty and a hundred wei;
reported there Sunday the day when
the greatest number of fish were
observed on the shore.
Presence of the gas unquestion
ably was one of the main factors in
the disaster although the exact
cause still la a mystery.
One unusual result of the fish
death was the fact that jewfish were
reported Monday striking tarpon
ba.t.-.-probably because of lack of
natural food In the water.

GARNER A I
ALLRED TALK
Texans Wonder If Parley
Had Any Political
Significance
UVALDE, Sept. 26 -<*>>—Possible
political significance of a session
between Vice President John N.
Gamer and Gov. James V. Allred
at the Gamer home here Tuesday
remained an Item of speculation
Wednesday,
The only inkling of the nature of
their conversation was the gover
nor's statement that he consulted
Gamer in his capacity as democra
tic National committeeman from
Texas rather than as vice-president
of the United States.
The meeting, however, was gen
erally accepted as one of particular
political significance, since Allred's
visit was preceded by visits to Gar
ner from Colonel Paul Wakefield,
one of the governor s closest asso
ciates. and Pat Moreland, Allred's
secretary.
Whether mention was made of
reports that Allred might be a can
didate for the United States senate
next year, and that this is a possi
bility for appointment as a federal
district Judge, was not revealed.
Gamer expressed regret that he
would be unable to accept an invi
tation from the governor to be a
guest at the executive mansion at
Austin next week when Jesse H
Jones, chairman of the R F C., will
be there.

MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. Sept 25. i/P>—En
couraged by improvement in finan
cial markets abroad and a alight
quickening in the trading pace, the
stock market moved upward in or
derly manner Wednesdsy.
Advances ranged from small frac
tions to well over a point with a
large assortment of specialties, com
munication, industrial, rallrcad ana
motor shares firmly entrenched in
the higher bracket.
The commodity trend likewise was
higher. Led by a fresh advance m
com. grain markets displayed steadi
ness and cotton scored modest gains
with good buying orders reported
from the Orient Further improve
ment in low-priced railroad issues
gave tha bond market a firm ap
pearance. Leading foreign curren

American Telephone, American
Smelting, Sant* Fe. National Steel,
Chrysler. Phillips Petroleum. Con
tinental Can. International Har

house and Curtiss-Wright.
Although news from Europe was
not calculated to create any great
outbreak of bullish enthusiasm, the
fact that most all financial mar
kets in London, Paris and Berlin kept
pointed upward was taken to mean
that there were no fresh develop
ments of a caressing unfavorable
character cm the International hori

Keep up with the
PASSING SHOW
^rOUR home make* a comfortable theatre,
X doesn't it 7 And It’s nice to hare the
passing show brought to ycur easy chair—a full
length, fpll time production, too!
Maybe you’re only interested in the “feature
pictures”, the things big enough to make the
front page. Perhaps you like those “educational
shorts”, the unbiased editorials or the home
making articles by well known writers. It may
be the “comedy”, with Wash Tubbs m the lead
ing role. The “serials” nay hold your atten
tion, the features and columnists. But alto*
gather, say, don't they make up the beet show
in town?
And remember, It's a DOUBLE FEATURE at
traction—the ads are full of news, too! The
news about something new for the home, some
thing to wear or something economical to
serve. But it IS new and news when it appears
on the pages of The Brownsville Herald.
The passing show is an inexpensive program!
It's the best way to keep pace with the chang
ing scene. And the best part of it is that
there's a complete change of program every
day!
