more than 200 railroad officials and
shippers from entire southwest territory
and it was predicted the attendance at
Brownsville would be much larger be-
cause of the interest shown in the Val

L. M.Shepardson of Corpus Christi, in
seconding the nomination of Browns
vile, declared the Valley was not only
the richest spot under the sun but the
friendliest and that railroad people es-
pecially should be interested in meeting
there because it was certain the Valley
was on the eve of a boom that would
soon be as marked as that in Florida.
The meeting here was featured by the
attendance Of L. w. Bldwin, president
of the Missouri Pacific, H. R. Stafford
executive vice president Of the Gulf
Coast, /. G. n. and by Mr.. German,

Officials Expect
Fight on Pardon

WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. 25.-De-
partment of justice officials here ex-
pect Gerald Chapman's attorneys to
fight through the courts the question
Of whether he is compelled to accept
the communication of federal sentence
signed by President Coolidge. The de-
partment holds that there is no law to
oblige the government to keep custody
of a person whose sentence has been
commuted, but nevertheless it was said
today that the courts would have to
pass on it at the instance Of the Chap
man defense.
No comment was made either at the
White House or at the attorney gen.
erals office on the action of commu-
tation itself. The attorney general has
steadfastly declined to discuss the case
since his conferences here with States
Attorney Alcorn of Hartford.

uate, is Charge
(By The Associated Press.)


NORMAN, Okla, Nov. 25. Lee
Thompson, president Of the student
council at the University of Oklahoma,
was arrested last night charged with
wearing a mask in violation Of state
law following an alleged abduction of
Joe Grove, graduate student from Chat
tanooga, Okla.
Thompson was released on his own
cognizance to appear in county court
today. His arrest is believed to be the
first in the state under the law adopted
by the legislature in 1923 during the
fight of former Governor j. c. Walton
on the Ku Klux Klan.
Grove told county authorities that he
was accosted last night on the Uni
sity campus by four men in black masks
and robes who threw him into a motor
car and took him to a fieldetwo miles
south of Norman where they removed
his clothing to the waist.
At that point the proceedings were
interrupted by two farmers with shot
guns who ordered the party from the
field. In their haste to depart, three
of the masked men dashed to the auto
mobile leaving Grove alone with Thomp-
son. Selling the opportunity Grove at
tackled Thompson with his fists. The
farmers left them fighting in the road
way and telephoned the sheriff's of
flee at Norman. When w. w. Jennings,
undersheriff, arrived, they were still
fighting and Thompson was arrested.
Grove said he was given no informa-
tion as to what was in store for him
when the owners of the land interfered.
Thompson is junior law student.
His home is in Norman.
