would be interfered with, except for in
spection purposes. Movement of cattle
and farm products, however, has been
stopped.
DR.. f. F. FARRELL, who remained at
headquarters in Houston Of the foot and
mouth disease eradication campaign,
could not say whether quarantine of the
entire county was likely.
There will be no definite anounce-
ment," he said, until DIR. lines and DR..
Williams have completed their invest

with the disease outside the ranch Of
DR.. William Jacobs, near Webster,

AUSTIN, Tex, A ug. 6.-Dr.
w. t. Ballard, father of Otis
Ballard, for whose death Glenn
Gray is sentenced to die in the
electric chair at Huntsville Fri
day, said here today:
Il do not believe any help in
the world will prevent Gray
from going to the chair"
No indication was made at the
governors office at noon today
as to whether any action to
save Gray's life will be made.
Dr.. Ballard, who appeared before the
board Of pardons, asked only that the
board follow the statement of facts
in the case. He conferred with former
Governor James E. Ferguson after Mrs.
Minnie Gray, wife Of the condemned
man. told her story
1T was the most brutal murder i'm
Titus county" DR.. Ballard declared.
Even if Gray did not strike my son over
the head, he admitted everything else
and he was responsible for Otis death.
Ny son was lured to the spot where he
met his death.-
Gray was convicted in October 1923
for the murder Of Ballard, September
"a, 1923, on the testimony Of Burl
Kemp, negro, who admitted helping Gray
dispose of the body by weighing it
down with irons in creek
The following telegram was received
here by Mrs. Gray from Glenn Gray at
Huntsville today:
Dear mother and boys. Just read
article in paper / am all in tears with
broken heart. Life doesn't mean 50
much to me as what it means to you and
our purse sweet boys. Mother, always
teach them their father was innocent
and died for a crime he never committed.
God knows the truth With love to You
and boys. Daddy"
Mrs. Glenn Gray and her two sons
made the following plea to Governor

We regret very much not having
seen you. Probably you would have felt
different toward US
Il wish to make this final plea. per-
sonally, to you for communication not that
it makes any special difference with
Glenn, for life means nothing to him, but
It would relieve my precious children of
the stigma Of their father dying cap
ital death.
If taking his life would bring Otis
Ballard back to life, then I would say
let him 60, but it wou dlnot do that, and
it would do my children a great favor
for you to save him from the chair

ocean beach drive from Boca Chica to
Corpus Christi was held at tCe COM
mittee meeting in San Benito last
night. although no action taken in con-
nection with the proposed roadway on
Padre Island.
The committee members expressed the
belief that it would be better to con-
slider plans now for any undertakings
to improve the roadway, supply the
causeways, etc, by the use Of private
capital. Many years would be required
to secure the cooperation of the five
counties, Came N, Willacy, Kleberg,
Nueces and Kennedy. involved in the
matter, it was brought 4, and the un-
dertaking could be more quickly ac-
complished by the aid Of private capital.
Another meeting Of the committee will
held within the next month, and any
plans which may be offered will be con-
sidered at that meeting.
The committee, appointed at the gen.
eral meeting Tuesday night, consists of
James Bowie, San Benito, chairman; HI.

LEGION LAUDED
BY MARK M'CEE
Veterans Combat Propa-
ganda Of Reds Meet
In Louisiana Told
(By the Associated Press)

SHREVEPORT, La, Aug. 6.-That the
American Legion, the members of which
won the fight against militarism in
the World War, is the logical organiza-
tion to combat seditious propaganda of
bolshevists, soviets and anarchists in
America was the declaration Of Adju-
tant-General Mark McGee Of Texas,
commander Of the Texas Department,
American Legion, before the state con-
vention of Louisiana Legionnaires here
today.
The American Leagion must take the
lead in the fight to exterminate all the
'isms' which are seeking to strangle
our government" Mr.. McGee said. The
great American evil must be ousted and
the remedy is to educate the foreigners
to our ideals, and to our form Of govern
ment through the teaching Of the his
tory Of the United States. We should
acquaint them with our institutions, by
compelling immigrants to read, write
and speak the English language.
The acknowledgement urged restricted
immigration and the continuation of the
present immigration law which expires
in 1927. In event of another war, Am
erican should not be compelled to fight
enemies at home as we'll as forces Of
foreign countries" he asserted. If
aliens comesto our shores, live and pros
per under our government, they should
be made to assume the responsibilities
of citizenship" He advocated law
compelling foreigners living in the
United States to become citizens to in
sure their loyalty during times Of ma
tional crises.
Universal draft of men, money and
labor during war was stressed by AdJu-
tant- General McGee. "A law should be
passed equalizing the burden Of war
cruelty" he said 1T is unjust to re
qure of one man that he face the enemy
and be paid only a dollar day for it,
when other persons, without facing
danger and hardships, are paid fabulous
sums for working long distances from
the scenes Of action. 1t is likewise
unjust that patriotic young men SHOULD
give their blood on the battle field,
while money kings, who do not subject
themselves to any danger or discom-
fort, are permitted to amass stupendous
fortunes"
Adjutant- General McGee explained
that his address was ON him as an in
dividual and not as commander of the
Texas department of the legion.
He advocated widespread aherence to
the principles On which the Legion was
, founded, as among other things, to up
hold and defend the constitution Of the
, United ,tSates; to maintain law and
order; to foster an perpetuate 100 per
cent Americanism; to Promote peace
and good will on earth and to transmit
to posterity the privilege Of freedom,
| justice and democracy.
