He knew what big fellow he was

he could eat.
He knew that was a great deal, too.
He did not care for bugs and insects
very much.
He would eat them, but he didn't
like them as he did fish.
Fish was the food for Kingfsher.

didn't choke on bones. He ate too
cleverly for that-and, too, there was
plenty of room SO the bones didn't
choke him as they went down.
He ate the fish head-frst, which
was the sensible way of eating hsh'

was his motto.

REPORT DE LA HUERTA
PASSED THROUGH CITY
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING
Said to Haze Been on S. P.
With Jorge Prieto
Laurenz.

La Prensa Friday morning publishes
story that Jorge Prieto Laurenz,
former governor of the state of San
Luis Potosi who was one of the big
civil leaders of the De la Huertista
revolution and who recently landed at
New Orleans after the evacuation of
1ucatan, passed through here Friday
morning on the Sunset Limited going
west, accompanied by Guillermo Arce,
one of the De Ia Huertista consular
officials at New Orleans. and that it
is believed that Adolfo de Ia Huerta
was also travelling on the same train
en- route to Nogales, Ariz.
Prieto Laurenz was undoubtedly n
passenger on the train, but doubts are
expressed here in Mexican circles as
to the presence of DE la Huerta on
the Southern Pacific train. In fact,
so many stories and theories have been
published as to the hereabouts of De
la Huerta that it is not believed he
has ever entered the United States and
IL he has left Mexico. there are many
who believe he woul have probably
sought asylum in Europe or Canada.
However, the voyage of Jorge Prieto
Laurenz westward at this time will
awaken certain curiosity among the
observers of the Mexican situation.

pied by the Moose Lodge rooms. In a
statement made by Paznanski and
read to the court by Assistant United
States District Attorney Egbert
Schweppe, Paznanski said that he
alone was responsible for the presence
OF the whiskey and that the officers
and members of the Moose Lodge were
in no way responsible for the liquor.
The court was informed that Paz-
nanski ran domino and checker par
Tor on one floor of the building and
that he acted as caretakcr for the
Moose rooms on the floor awe me
room he had sub-leased. In payment
for his janitor work, the statement
said. he was allowed to sleep in the
lodge halls.

When they go in the show they line

is no pushing or showing. Every one
is polite to most noticeable degree.
and that is the kind of crowds show

Mr.. Ellis did not know it, but he
was speaking for all the show folk.
Every one of the 45O in the Worth

able advance is on Bowen's Island,
where are located six of the big shows
in the Workman city, and also the

came too late to interfere with the
evening crowd. If the weather remains
good the shows will establish new
record for San Antonio business. They

FAILS TO LAND AIR
ALTITUDE MARK
Mac Ready Reaches Near Eight
Miles Is Forced Down
THOUGHT HE'D HAVE TO LEAP
Feels Fit Despite Frostbltes On Face,
In 70 Below Zero At "ceillns"--
How Far He Was
Short.

Dayton, Ohio.-For the second
time within two months the United
States has failed to wrest the
worlds aviation altitude record
from France.
Lieut. John A. MacReady, McCook
Field flying ace and former holder Of
the record, aroused hope Friday that
the honor would return to America
when he pushed his lie Pere biplane
to an indicated height Of Il 900 feet.
But subsequent calculation of his In
struments reduced this to s4,9s3 feet
The record-se.555 feet-is held by
Sadi Lecointe.
While Lecointe's actual altitude was
less than $1,000 feet, MacReady must
have attained a height Of 1885 feet
to have broken the record. A recent
ruling requires that any new record
be 1900 feet higher than the old one
before 1t becomes official.
MacReady attributed his failure to
breakdown Of his supercharger. the
mechanism which permits his engine
to operate in rarifed atmosphere, and
to the extreme cold.
When his instruments registered Al
600 feet, with the engine apparently
running perfectly, there was a sudden
snap, he said, that shook the plane
from end to end. He prepared to make
parachute jump. he said. but when
he knew what was wrong he brought
the plane to the ground. A similar
incident forced him down on his last
attempt
MacReady's thermometer had failed
to register after touching so degrees
below zero, centigrade--70 below zero,
Fahrenheit. He estimates 1t was much
colder, as he had climbed some dis
tance after noticing that his ther-
mometer stopped registering.
So far as his personal condition was
concerned, the aviator says he could
have gone higher. but his engine was
useless after the supercharger failed.
He had two frostbites on his face and
his feet were numbed by the cold, but
otherwise he was comfortable.
MacReady probably will make no
more altitude attempts in the lie Pere
plane. officials said, but may try again
in one now being turned out at the
field.

NOTE BETWEEN THE BODIES

his father, mother and two sisters
and to make plans for the removal
of Mary Birdsey, Of Forsyth, Ca,
a young college girl, whom he be
lieves stands in his path and de-
feats his progress towards becom-

police here.
According to the story told by young
Mcdowell in his cell, he knows he is
abnormal but firmly believes that the
day of the superman, is near at hand
and that II It were not for his lowly
birth he would be the first real super
man
Mcdowell was a child prodigy. He
graduated from George Washington
University, Washington, D. c., when
he was Is.
His Williamateen, sixteen.
and Marion. eighteen--were burned,
Mcdowell said in signed confession.
to atone for a "blasphemy against the
Holy Ghost" committed when he was
twelve years old. and the murders OF
his mother and father were a sacri-
fcial penance for killing the girls.
The deaths of the girls had remained
a mystery until McDowell's confession.
His original sin was committed on
February 10, the youth said. and every
year as the date approached his mind
became hazy and he believed his fam
lily to be aligned with "the anti
Christ"
The girls were burned to death in
their bedroom at Decatur. Ca, where
the family then lived.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdowell were shot
through their right temples as they
llay asleep. Frank then bruised his
head and summoned assistance. say
ing a stranger had killed his mother
and father and had knocked him un-
conscious
Placed between the bodies Of Mr..
and Mrs. Mcdowell authorities found
note typewriter on paper cut out
in the form OF heart, containing the
Lords Prayer and excerpts of Bible
phrases, which young Mcdowell told
officers were intended to refer to his
three sins The note read:
'It was the end Of the first year Of
sin with me and the end of mine sin
before the spirit; and now in the
mouth of the father of the house of
Satan do offer up this prayer Of
mine Heavenly Father, writ on the
likeness of mine heart. 1t is the end
Of the second year of sin In me and
the end of mine sin before Thee and
likewise in the watery sepulchres of
the son of the house of anti-Christ
shall mingle this prayer"
Young Mcdowell had been regarded
as an infidel and was close student
of the works of Robert G. Ingersoll.
After graduation from George Wash
ington University he assisted his
father in the publication of weekly
newspaper.
