WHY YOU SHOULD.
BUY

II you don't believe that
the prices for all kinds of
apparel and merchandise
are back to normal, just 60
into any reputable store in
Washington and ask them
to give you the figures for
q year or two ago. SO that
you may contrast them
with the prices asked to-
day.
People can afford to buy
now, and people ought to
buy.
Failure to buy is one of
the reasons why there is
unemployment. As soon as
you begin to buy, the
wheels of industry begin to
move. More people are
employed and more money
/, gets into circulation.
Now Is the time to help
yourself and the economic
situation as we'll.

with him the secret Of his identity
which he has so carefully preserved
for the past six years.
Who he really j. and where he came
from, nobody around Brownsville
knows. He dri-ted into the city in
1915. He was then well along in
years. and although he was already
manifestly about down and out, he
bore evidences Of having seen better
days.
For long time he lived in board
ing house in the city As he grew
older, he became less and less able to
care for himself and finally was adj
mitted to the Charity Home.
That bud Kelley" was not his

questions about it or say what reason
he might hGvve for losing his identity.

FORD CONTEST
EREVIVEDN
UPPER HOUSE
Senate Will Decide NeDberry
Matter On Its
Merits
aRy The AsS.nlauec i'ressJ


WASHINGTON, May 81. - The
senate itself will decide claims Of
Senator Newberry and Henry Ford
To the seat from Michigan, prominent
republican leaders said today, inde-
pendent of the recent supreme court
decision dismissing corruption charges
against Senator Newberry.
Decision to have the senate proceed
with the Ford Newberry case it was
sail, has been reached informally
and definite announcement of plans
is expected when the senate privil-
eges. and elections committee meets
tuesday.
In spite of strong opposition with
in the republican senate membership,
influential leaders were said today
to have taken the view that, from
many respects, it was desirable TO pro-
ceed with the separate investigation
by the committee and have the senate
act finally on the title of Senator
Newberry.
Ii is now planned to re-appoint the
subcommittee headed by Senator
Spencer. republican, Missouri, which
had chare of the past proceedings,
to 90 ahead with taking of testimony
and rendering a verdict for ultimate
consideration of the full committee
and the senate probobly in the form
Of resolution.
Several considerations were said
to be involved in the matter, least
of which, republican leaders assert
ed today, was insistence Of promin-
ent democratic leaders and of MIR.
Ford himself for a thorough inves-
tigation and final disposal by the
~sate.
ae chief reason given for proce-
dure by the senate was said to be the
difference between the charges pas
sd by the supreme court and those,
much broader, before the senate.
The supreme court case, it was
said. dealt only with the federal
corrupt practices act, declared un-
constitutional, and also, only with
he primary campaign between Sen
ator Newberry and Mr. Ford. On
the other hand the senate charges
cover expenditures and activities Of
not only the primary but the gen
eral election campaign.
Another reason advanced for con-
tinuing with the senate case was
the dispute over the issues settled
by the supreme court decision. Sen
ator Newbery's friends have con
tended that the senator was given
a "clean bill" by the highest court
If the land, that therefore, the
,enate case should be dropped.
Democrats generally, as wei az
Senator Spencer, have expressed the
view that only part Of the charges
were before the court. and that,
therefore, the senate should proc
ceed with the remainder 1t also has
been contended that the senate, after
all, is the minal judge Of its mem
bership and their qualifications.

WINONA LAKE, Ina. May 21-
Determination to insist upon no.
thing less than actual union with the
other branches of the Presbyterian
church was expressed at the 133rdt

posed that some plan be worked out

reduced and much overlapping work
be eliminated.

CAPT. MILLER
SUCCUMBS TO
FIRST ILLNESS
Had Been Noted Mariner,
Traveller and Ex-
plorer

capt. r.. r. Miller, noted ship
captain and explorer died at 5:3O
O'Clock yesterday afternoon at the
Divine Providence hospital. He had
been complaining for about a month
Of the first illness he had ever known
Relatives at a distance were no
titled and telegraphed instructions
that everything needful be done. The
messages were from a sister, Mrs.
Joel Bishop of Punta G0rda, Fla,
another sister, Mrs. Grace Clark of
Milwaukee, brother at Lake Win
ona, Mimi, and another brother in
California.
Funeral services will be held at
4 this afternoon from the Hinkley
undertaking rooms. Burial will BE-
in Buena Vista cemetery.
Capt Miller had been actively
identified with the Valley and parti-
cularly Brownsville and Point Isa-
bel for two years. He first became
acquainted with this section when
he stopped at the Point with boat
he was taking from Chicago to Tam
pico. He declared it the best land
locked harbor on the Gulf coast and
said It was surpassed by very few
other harbors in America.
Since that time he has been an
ardent advocate of the deeping OF
the channel there. As an illustration
of its safety he always liked to point
TO the old railroad station, which has
been standing there since 1870, and
to boast that no tropical storm
could possibly have reached il.
The death Of Captain Miller re-.
moves from the worlds activities a
man whose entire life has been cram
med with adventure, both on sea and
on land, but mainly on the water.
He had sailed most Of the waters Of
the north half of this hemisphere,
and his entry into this section in an
effort to start a steamer service on
the Gulf Of Mexico was prompoted
by his yearning to quit the cold wat
ers Of the north for the milder clim-
ate Of the Gulf.
With the exception Of some parts
of his adventures, which consisted
principally of some of his experience
in the land Of the Blond Eskimo, lit
tie was known here Of Captain Mil
ler's life as a whole. He often told
of some of his experiences among
these Blond Eskimos and took
great deal Of pride in a United
States flag with 80 stars which he
found in the possession of a tribo
Of Eskimos some fifteen years ago.
Except for the fact that the flag
had been found in a tube, the Es-
! kimos had been unable to tell him
how il came into their possession and
Captain Miller assumed that il had
belonged to some explorer who visit
cd that section during the days when
there were only SO stars in the Ame-
rican flag. and probably perished,
either at sea or on land.
Funeral arrangement were made
by ID. A. O'Brien and Mr.. Camiade.
Captain Miller had been asso-
ciated with Mr.. 0'Brien almoS from
time Of his coming TO Brownsville
two years ago, and he became SO
enthusiastic about the possibilities
Of Brazos dc Santiago harbor that
he consented to remain here as long
was necessary in the hope of even
tually plotting the first stamers in
and out Of the harbor.
