One factor that contributed mate

ably beyond the most stringent gov

Also the stiffness of the Congress al

far enough to interfere with the low

The removal of the Congress from
the coasting trade will create a seri-

vessel may be refitted this will take
many months. The Pacific Coast
Steamship Company was offered ST.

LEGAL PUZZLE
Is PRESENTED
By United Press.

BY United Press.
FORT WORTH, Tex, Feb. 29.-The
grand jury today began an investiga-
tion of the Warren Hunter murder. In
dictments against the two Harrisons
are expected this afternoon or tomor-
row.
The disposition Of the case Of Mrs
Harrison, even if she is indicted, is
puzzling the authorities. Her age
makes her a juvenile and her marriage
makes her legally a woman. Neither
Harrison or his bride can testify against
the other, making. each the sole wit
ness against himself
1t is admitted that the case presents
more legal puzzles than any of a simi
lar kind in the history Of the state.
