HARVARD DISCOVERS
'SPEEDSTER' COMET

CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 27.-CP)-The
Photographic sky patrol maintained
at the Harvard Observatory has
caught a "sp-edsterr among comets,
according to Professor Edward 9.
King, of the observatory staff. Pro-
fessor King characterized the year
1928 as a remarkable one for comets
because of the discovery OF five new
comets in addition to half a dozen
periodic ones scheduled to reappear.
1.-TWO new comets have been dis
covered in the past week." said Pro-
fessor King, "and one Of them seems
speedster Six days after its dis.
corery IL was observed again nearly
one-sixth Of the sky vault from the
point where il had first been seen.
Is it possible that the two objects are
one and the same comet? Luckily the
Photographic SPY patrol maintained at
Harvard observatory has settled the
question. Photographs showed traces
Of the speeding comet where it would
have been expected on two interme-
diate dates. IL must be quite near
to US; when the computers shall haze
done their work we shall know how
near"

HISTORY Of s. A.
TOLD With
PICTURES
Cenepus Club Memb ers
View Slides Showing
Early Life Of City.

A glimpse OF the pages Of San
Antonio history was given at the
weekly luncheon Of the Conopus club
in the Menger hotel Friday noon,
when a series Of pictures made in the
old days was shown.
Negatives Of these pictures are the
property Of Ernst Raba and 90
stereoptiean slides were made snd
shown in colon.
The series commenced during the
'40s when there was little but Alamo
Plaza. with one-story adobe shacks
surrounding il. Special attention was
paid TO the time when Sar Antonio
was the amoisture distributing center"
for n wide area. The series led on
through the city's history TO the pres
ent day of soft drink emporiums, big
business houses and skyscrapers
One thing that apparently inter
ested the members was the contrast
between the yaqueros of the old days
and the -vaseline vaqueros" of to-
day. sometimes referred to as "as-
phslt Arabs"
The pictures were explained by W.
A. Wurzbach, a native San Antonian,
who showed his qualification as lee
turer.
Jack r. Locke was chairman.

T. G. Rupertus, were in San Antonio
Friday. They will plant Carob

12S,000,000 feet Of merchantable tim
Der in the United States and with
mills, fire and other destructive ele-
ments eating away more than II. 00O,-
coo feet each year, the United States
bids fair 20 be depleted Of trees
for commercial purposes within a few
years unless something is done. Ma
ture is growing some, but the per-
centage is small in comparison 10 the
amount of lumber being milled. The
object Of the reforestation association
is 70 interest the public in getting
strict forestiny laws passed, such as
are in effect in Europe.
The two representatives OF the
association called on the chamber Of
commerce and city officials to interest
them in the membership campaign.
The Carob tree, better known as
the ST. John Bread Fruit tree, Is the
tree Of Biblical history, the beans Of
which make splendid bread and are de-
licious 10 eat just as they come from
the tree. Each bean has as much
nourishment as pecan.

Senate Engages
in New Dispute
With President
Supreme Court to Hear Tes'
of Strength in Controversy
Over Postal Ap-

Washington, April II. Another
contest of authority between .th,
president and the senate is at hand
and will be heard before the supreme
court Monday.
Having recently reasserted In its re
lection of Charles Beecher Warren te
be attorney general, the claim to the
right under the constitution Of refus

flee by the president. the senate will
row appear through counsel before
the highest court TO contend thai
congress has the constitutional right
to prescribe the conditions under
which the president may remove
those he has appointed to offices II
has created.
The controversy between the execu
tive and legislative branches of the
government reached the judicia
branch for adjustment in a case from
Oregon brought by Frank S. Myers
who. was appointed postmaster al
Portland by President Wilson. lie
was removed by Mr.. Wilson in Jan
nary. 1920, and the nomination OF
his successor was not sent to the sen
ate until July, 1921, when his four
year term expired. Nor did the presi
dent during that period notify tn,
senate of his removal
Myers contested the action as illeg
al. and when the four years ended
sued the government in the court oi
claims for back salary. That court
found he had been guilty of laxity In
not prosecuting his claim with suffi
cient promptness. and dismissed 1t
From that decision he appealed to tho
supreme court.
To enable tho senate to be repre-
sented by counsel. the court ordered
the case reargued. and designated
Senator Pepper OF Pennsylvania tc
appear for the senate in the capacity
OF friend OF the court. The presl
dent will be represented by Solicitor
General Beck.
In his brief filed with the court to

Hindenburg Move
Seeks to Restore
Bourgeois Regime
Plan to Eliminate Socialists
in Germany Is Disclosed;
War Lord Issues
Statement.

Berlin, April 11.-count Friedrich
Won Loebell chairman OF the ma
tionalist bourgeois bloc, said in an
interview today that the nomination
of Field Marshal Won Hindenburg for
the presidency must be viewed as
initiating a concerted movement TO
restore bourgeois regime in Ger
many. 1t would thereby. he said.
eliminate the powerful socialist party
government affairs, and. incidentally
prevent the perpetuation of coalitions
comprising socialists, democrats and
centrists.
The construction Of national
bourgeois bloc was originally con.
ceived for the purpose of neutralizing
conflicting aims and currents among
-socialistic parties" he said, "as
was convinced that such co-ordina-
tion of our various political organiza-
tions was the first prerequisite for
the healthy reconstruction of our
internal affairs and tho subsequent
prosecution OF a firm, but not aggres-
sive. foreign policy"
Count Won Loebell asserted that
during it's extended incumbency in
office since the revolution. the social
democratic party had plainly demon
strated that IL was not yet sufficient
ly experienced to assume the reins
OF government.
He emphatically denied that the ad.
vent Of Won Hindenburg signalizes an
active recrudesence of tn. movement
for restoration OF tho German mon.
archy.
We respect the constitution Of the
republic he declared. "and when
Field Marshal von Hindenburg an.
nounces himself ready TO accept the
presidency Of the German republic.
such a resolve Is plain indication that
the German monarehists do not
dream of an attack upon the re.
public"
