SHOW CLAIMS IN
DAUGHERTY TRIAL
Contrast Between Handling
of Large and Small Ones.

NEW YORK, Sept. ga star
Ting contrast to the speedy manner
in which the s7,oOO,oOO claim pre-
scented by Richard Merton, German
financier, was allowed by the alien
property custodian's office, was fur
nished in Federal Court today by
introduction of evidence on a claim
involving but 1-200th of that amount.
United States Attorney Emory r.
Buckner, heading the prosecution of
Harry M, Daugherty, former Attor-
ney General, and Thomas w. Miller,
former alien property custodian, for
conspiracy, read papers bearing on
both claims and left the inference
that the $1,000, 900 case had required
outside influence in the removal of
red tape" The Government con-
tends that a bride of SAL 900 paid
by Merton to the late John t. King,
friend of Daugherty and Miller, sup
piled such an influence.
The larger claim was for the re-

Of thousands Of families to bring them
into cultivation. This, in brief words,
describes the Lone Star State.
OF this mighty empire, the San Antonio
district probably embraces the greatest,
most fertile and most varied in produc-
ton of all the areas of Texas devoted
to agriculture in its many forms.
Tributary to San Antonio is the great
ranch and livestock country. In pioneer
days, San Antonio was the center of
the cattleman's activities.
Today, one of the picturesque sights
often seen in hotel Hobbies and on the
streets of San Antonio, is the big-hatted
cowman. here for few days shopping
or to attend a convention, entirely I'M
conscious Of the interest he attracts from
visitors from afar, who view the cow
boy in all the romance and glamor OF
modern fiction and movie thrillers. But
the Texas cowman is very much a bust
ness man. keen, alert, thrifty and sue
cessfully keeping pace with modern de-
velopments in his industry, improving
his herds and ranches, driving his motor
car over paved highways and in constant
touch with affairs as is any other bust
ness man.
Likewise at San Antonio's door, is the
great black land cotton belt of South
Texas, where is produced much Of the
cotton that supports the textile industry
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-04-18

Of the world, producing annually millions
Of bales and millions of dollars in rev
eDue.
Between San Antonio and the gulf are
areas where the normal crop is a bale
to the acre. There are still large tracts
undeveloped and obtainable at raw land
prices. A survey Of 80 counties in this
general area discloses a total Of 1886
331 acres Of fine agricultural land, with
3,3295S5 acres in cultivation-abOut one
seventh of the whole. This gives a par
tial idea Of the gigantic development pos
sibilities OF this region and the vast
ment is proportionately adequate to the
population. 1t pictures fairly accurate
ly, the welcome that awaits the enter
prising tiller Of the soil in the last great
development district in America to be
opened to settlement and colonization.
In the very heart Of this empire, San
Antonio, one Of the oldest cities in
America, is still the largest city in the
great state Of Texas and growing SO
rapidly that it is with difficulty NUM-
cipal improvements are made to keep
pace with the demand for homes.
This metropolis Is the merchandising
and financial center for more than 100
counties. In this area competition with
San Antonio is practically nOn-e1istant
for the reason that the area is more
economically served by this city than
by any other of the five great Texas
cities. This area is approximately 300
to 800 miles from north to south and
about the same distance east and west,
with a total population outside Of the

the highways, bridging the streams, re-
placing the tottering structures of for
mer years with concrete and steel con-
structing power lines to do the work
our forefatherS did by hand with infinite
toll. We are building a deep water har-
Dor to admit to our coast the great sea-
going ships of all nations in place of
the little boats of shallow draft that
once brought supplies TO the freight
trains Of covered wagon days.
This work is but begun The foun-
datiOn is here; the pioneering has been
accomplished. We have the soil, water
and other natural resources. The sun
never shonc on a faircr or more fruitful
land than that of South Texas. 1t is
the greatest region on the North Ameri-
can continent in which to live and pros
per.
And it is to this work of development
that the present Texas population has
turned its hand. San Antonio as the
first city in this empire, is placed by
destiny in the leading role and must
head the van.
But it is with revercnt respect for the
pioneers that we write fms upon their
undertakings and turn to the great task
before us of completing the mighty struc-
ture upon the foundations they have so
ably laid.
Fate, centuries ago, decreed that here
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-04-18

should be a great city and a rich and
happy country, and San Antonio and
South Texas, thanks TO the pioneers, to-
day stand upon the threshold Of an era
Of the greatest prosperity and advance
mcnt they have ever known.
Beyond the fact that Texas is the
largest state in the Union, few people
outside the confines Of the Lone Star
State have even the most mcager con-
ception Of the unlimited natural re-
sources of this great commonwealth and
Of the trade possibilities to be found
here.
The State of Texas is larger in area
than the states Of New England. 1t is
larger in area than many Of the empires
Of the Old World. From the Red river
on the north to the sOutheInmOst corner
at FL PasO. is a railroad journey of con-
siderable magnitude. There are indiyid-
ual ranches in Texas much larger than
many counties in states Of the North
and East.
Every variety Of crops and soil are to
be found in the various sections Of this
mighty state. Great rivers pour their
torrents into the Gulf of Mexico, vast
plains provide range for countless herds,
lofty mountains contain mineral wealth,
building materials and forests, fertile
valleys provide agricultural land suffi-
cient to sustain millions, immense oil
fields produce a major share of all
petroleum found in the United States.
Texas today embraces the most eI-
tensive area Of undeyeloped agricultural
and horticultural lands on the North
American continent awaiting the coming
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-04-18

But a mighty farm, producing food for
thousands in distant cities, titled by
tractors, now occupies the lands once the
frontier homestead of the pioneer. The
acres so laboriousIy cleared and grubbed
in the years long gone. still help to feed
and clothe the nation.
These are the men and women who
built the Texas Of today, who created
from the wilderness a great state, an
Briculural empire. 1t was these hardy
pioneers who drove the trails, stocked
the ranges, built the cities and cleared
the pathways for the railroads.
Their sons and daughters have re
eeived this rich heritage from the hands
Of the pioneers. 1t is now for rs to
carry on the task 20 well founded and
10 build here a city that will be The
realization Of the dream of these empire
builders Of a former generation.
Here in South Texas, we are paving

the semiannu8i market seasons in the
spring and fall.
San Antonio is now reaping the re-
wards of two centuries as a trading
point and commercial center for the
great southwest. Her old, long estab-
Iished business houses provide a firm
foundation upon which her business
structure Is reared. Decades Of fair
and honorable dealings, friendships be-
gun generations ago and bequeathed
along with business establishments as
valuable assets have given San Antonio
most unusual position in her trade
territory.
There are numerous firms in business
here selling to patrons, extending credits
and other commercial courtesies because
the owners, for generations have done
these things on identical lines.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-04-18

pioneers whose sacrifices and labOrs have
made San Antonio of today possible.
1t is not to the leaders, Austin, Hous-
ton, Travis, Crockett, BOwie-the states
men and military heroes that we refer on
this occasion. Words can not add to the
lustre of their fame. They are secure in
history. Their names and deeds will live
as long as Texars exist.
But it is of the pioneers, those brave
men and women who faced the hardships
of the frontier, the savage Indian, the
lonely prairies, the long trail, the untrod
wilderness.
Here and there in San Antonio few
of these folks still survive. Their eyes
are dim and their heads are white with
the years, but neither time nor circum-
stances have deprived them of that high
courage which carried them through the
trying days of early Texas.
Still thousands of others have fol-
lowed the prairie schooner and the OK
trains over the last Great Divide. Their
work has been finished, they have left
this great state to their descendants and
Successors, the sons and daughters Of
pioneers.
All over South Texas are the evidences
of the work and achievements Of the
pioneer Texans. Not only great cities,
such as San Antonio, nor the beautiful
sytl,
tons they laid, but the great areas of
agricultural land reclaimed from the
Willis, irrigation projects, power plants,
roads and highways, bridges over mighty
rivers, these and many other achieve
ments are the fruits of the toll of the
pioneers.
As We glide smoothly across paved
highways in our high-powered motor cars,
how few Of us pause to contemplate the
days when the first Texans broke the
trail with their axes and spades through
long hours of toll in summers heat and
winters cold? How their heavy wagons
creaked over ruts and boulders, oxen
drawn, requiring weary days and often
weeks and months to cross a space that
we now cross in our automobiles in a
few hours.
Here and there, as we motor along we
see a little rock house or a log cabin
sitting in a clump Of oaks or pecan
trees or upon the bank of a beautiful
stream. All about is fertile agricultural
land, fields upon fields OF corn, cotton
and cane. Gone forever are the pioneers
whose hands built the old rock house.
No Goals glow in the old fireplace, the
candies light CLEANS no more from the
windows. Birds nest above the door
way and fit about the gables. Perhaps
a red squirrel scampcrs across the beaten
earth floor. The spring of clear water
nearby is grown high with weeds and
the willow planted there by loving hands
has long been INTENDED.

Pioneering Work in South Texas Is Finished
dys
a O. early frontier

city of about 100000. 1t is estimated
that this area could accommodate prof
itably at this time, fully 100000 popu-
lation in developing all its varied re-
sources. Where in all the wide world,
exists such opportunity?
The production of this area consists
Of all the staple farm crops except wheat:
corn, cotton, the nOn-saccharine canes, al
falfa, oats and barley; sheep, beef cat
tie, dairy cattle, goats and hogs 1t con-
tains the recognized winter truck gar
dens of America, shipments from which
amount to thousands upon thousands Of
cars annually.
In fruit production, special stress is
laid upon the citrus industry. vast
acreage in the southern portion Of this
area has been found adapted to the grow
ing of citrus fruits, shipments mounting
rapidly each year. 1t is estimated that
1000 cars Of oranges, grapefruit end LEM
ons will be shipped during this season,
and it is stated that orchards now planted,
when in full bearing. will produce 10000
cars annually. 1t is impossible for any
one to make any dependable prediction as
TO the future magnitude OF this particu-
lar industry, in the area under discussion.
San Antonio is growing commercially
IN direct proportion to the growth OF its
trade area: certainly it would be pre-
sumptuous for anyone to venture an Opin-
ion as to the possibilities Of this city's
growth when this great area shall have
populated to its maximum capacity.

CThe Montana Farmer)

Montana is a great empire in
itself. We are frequently re
minded of the fact in one way CIR
another. Not long ago We made
the statement on this page that
Montana is producing an excel
lent crop this year. A few days
later we received a letter from a
farmer in one of the eastern
counties who said crop conditions
weren't very good in his section
and thst he had seen only two or
three good crops within a radius
Of ten miles Of his place. Letters
from other farmers in other eoun-
ties have advised Us that crops
are fine and Yields are breaking
all previous records.
