of the Valley in the future as in the
past" said w. S. Blackshear, pioneer
Brownsville resident. in talk at the XII

clared that he had positive information
that the road would be built here.
Mr. Blackshear told of Brownsville of
the old days, when the streets and

and dirt, and when the river at the cor
ner of Thirteenth was "fishin' hole. :"
All of the progress to date has been
the result Of vision, faith and work, he
said, and the success of the port pro-
ject, and of other proposed development
in the future will rest on the same
spirit, he said.

POLICE TO
END TONG WARS
On Leong Leaders Called
From Detroit For
Conference
(By the Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 27.-New
York police are attempting to end the
war Of Chinese tongs in the East and
Middle-West where five tongmen have
been assassinated.
When Tong leaders were closeted with
police here yesterday, a Hip Sing was
murdered in Baltimore He was the
first Hip Sing to die, the others having
been On Leongs.
Tong leaders promised at police head
quarters here to try to end the war.
They agreed to cease hostilities in New
York pending a final settlement and an
other meeting was arranged for to-
morrow. kilograms were sent summon
ing Su Ho Soon, national On Leong
president, and Lee Gee Ming, secretary
from Detroit
On Leong representatives claimed the
warfare had reached such state where
higher officials Of the tong were needed
TO handle the situation. Ho Don Hing
national president of the Hip Sings and
local officers, came to police headquar-
ters under heavy guard. But leaders of
neither tong consented to meet about
the same table. Without the chief of
the On Leongs, they said, it was futile
to promise that killings in other cities
would stop, Police and prosecutors
warned the tongmen that indictments
for conspiracy to murder possibly could
be returned.

RATES MUDDLED
BY CONGRESS,
new DECLARES
Postage Charges Sohuld
Be Altered, Postmas-
ter General Says; Pre-
pairing Schedule
(Bv tie Associated Pressl

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 27.-Discussing
the achievements and problems of the
postal service, Postmaster General New
told the joint gathering of national and
state political organizations in a pre-
pared address today that the problems
of properly apportioning postal rates
had become an acute one largely because
congress had so often failed to follow
the advice of postal experts.
The postmaster generals address con-
veyed the greeting Of President Cool
idge.
In discussing the postal rate situation,
Mr.. New siad the interests both of the
department and of the mail using public
dictated that changes should be made in
the rates. He would not attempt at this
stage however, to forecast what specific
changes may be recommended to con-
gress by the joint postal commission,
now considering the question, along
with some to be submitted by his de-
partment
Postal rates present an acute problem
now, he thought, largely because con-
gress had substituted it's own ideas in
many essential particulars for the re-
concentrations for increased rates made
by the department in the light Of its
postal cost ascertainment, which he be-
lieved could not be successfully attacked
as correct presentation of the facts.
The post office department is prac-
tically in the hands of congress in the
matter of fixing postage rates. Ans
wering critics who advocates application
of business methods" to the postal
service, Mr.. New cited preliminary es-
Inmates he has just completed of post
office expenditures and receipts for the
fiscal year 1927. These place expendi-
lures at S750,084,000 and receipts at
STOP, 100000. Of the expenditures $661,-
2O7,2 ,299, or S8.1 per cent represent fix
ed charges, such as salaries and allow
ances and transportation charges. Mr..
New asked whether any business cor
portion would not increase it's rates "if
they were selling their product below
cost"
"To those who complain of the rates
of postage, let it be said that ours is
the cheapest mail service in the world"
said Mr.. New

by the Associated Pressl


Los ANGELES, Calif- Aug. 27.-
DIR. Thomas w. Young, dentist on
trial here for the murder of his wife
and the burying of her body in a els
tern, killed himself in the county Jail
here early today.
County Jail employees discovered the
dentists body in his cell where he
had strangled himself with a piece of
wire. He had been dead for some
time when the body was found.
The wire used by DR.. Young was
probably smuggled in to him, the
county jailer said. Permission had
been asked several days ago to take
coil of wire into Young's cell, osten-
slbly for use in rigging up a radio
receiving set, but this was denied.
The dentist had twisted the wire
about his neck and then turned it
tightly with a stick.
Assistant County Jailer George
Palmer visited Young's cell at five
minutes to six this morning and
reused him with instruction to pre-
pare himself for court where his trial
is in progress. An hour later County
.Jailer Croushorn was summoned by
the prisoners distress signal. When
