FIRE 40 STORIES
HICHCONQUERED
Equitable Building in
New York Endanger-
ed by Blaze
lRx The Associated Press.O


NEW YORK, n. ", Feb. 16.-Forty
stories above Broadway, firemen today
waged a successful and spectacular
battle against fire in the $30,000,000
Equitable building, one Of the largest
office structures in the world. Most
Of the damage, estimated at 100000, was
in the 34th and 35th floor offices of
Daniel Guggenheim and the American
Smelling and Refining company. The
blaze originated in the basement Of the
skyscraper, which is located in the
heart Of the financial district near Wall
Street and leaped a shaft containing
steam pipes and electric cables to the
eleventh, sixteenth twenty-fourth and
thirty fourth floors, skipping those
that intervened.
Four engineers and repairmen jwere
trapped in the pent house, a three story
superstructure on the room, chiefly con-
tanning elevator machinery, and were
found by firemen on narrow ledge, 43
stories above street level, nearly 400
feet up.
The only ladder available was short
one, which was placed on the shoulders
Of the tallest fireman to reach the trap
ped men.
More than 100 charwomen were driven
from the building, carrying mops and
pals.

CANNES, France, Feb. 16.-Miss
Helen Wills quest for world supremacy

The twenty-year-o American cham

ed BY many as the greatesc woman
tennis player who ever stepped on a

Suffering from a cash in the knee
which she sustained in a fall yesterday

As she has never been extended since
her memorable default to Molla NAL
lory after the loss of a set at Forrest
Hills in 1921.
The score of todays match, the finaI
in the Carlton tournament was 6-3, 8-6
1t was played before a crowd that
packed the stands, with hundreds clam
oring at the gates unable to gain ad-
mittance. Some had stood in line all
night to be sure of witnessing lii.

The match as a whole failed to pro-
vide the high-class quality Of tennis
NHdt tHS Spectators expected from TWO
such champions
Both girls were extremely careful
taking absolutely no chances and re-
naming on the baselines throughout
the two sets.
Mile. Lenglen won through superior
steadiness, making fewer errors thar
the American girl.
Miss Wills had the point set wher
leading at five games 20 four in the
second. but through an apparent error
on the part of linesman, ball was
called good which thousands Of spec

This seemed to unnerve the American

ROAD
BONDC0NTEST
LOST IN COURT
Lack of Juri S diction
Plea Sus tanned by
Judge; Office of APP
peal is Filed
Especial To The Herald.I

EDINBURG, Tex, Feb. 16.-The con-
testants of the Hidalgo county $3,500,-
900 road bond election lost another
court decision here today, when the dis
trict civil court sustained the plea on
the part of the county of lack Of juris-
diction of the court, and also of illegal
tiles in the filing of the road bond con
test
The case was styled John A. Cook ct
al versus ]. c. Epperson, county at
torney Of Hidalgo county, ct AL
short time ago the court made a
similar ruling, on practically the same
grounds, on the request by the contest
ants in this case for a mandamus to
compel the county clerk to admit them
to records Of the election, in order that
they could examine the records and Sc
cure information for use in the contest
of the election.
The contestees alleged that the
court did not have Jurisdiction of the
cause because the notice of the contest
was defective, and because certain
grounds were alleged in the notice
which were untrue and which the con
testants knew were untrue
Notice of appeal was filed by the CON
testants as soon as the court rendered
a decision. Unless the court of civil
appeals remands the case for a new
trial, the contestants will not be able
to get back in court within the time pro
vded by law for bringing such conests.
1t was stated here by attorneys in the
case.
The three and half million dollar
bond issue in Hidalgo is for the purpose
of carrying out an extensive program of
road paving, which will furnish feeder
roads to practically all of the farming
communities in Hidalgo county, and
which will connect up the smaller
settlements with the highways Of the
county.
Plans for he road work are being
made at the present time.

MAYOR ORDERS
PIEDRAS NECRAS
SCHOOL CLOSED
Methodist Institution is
First Protestant Col
lege to Feel Ban on
Religious Orders
(By The Associated Press.) }


EAGLE PASS, Texas, Feb. 16.--Mex-
ico's constitutional ban against foreign
ministers and educational workers. al
ready in operation against Catholic
priests, was clamped down with discon-
certing suddenness yesterday on Prot
estant school teachers in at least one
place.
The Rev. j. A. Phillips, president, and
three faculty members of the peoples
institute, Methodist school in Piedras
Negras just across the Rio Grande from
here, complied with 24-hour notice
from Mexican mayor and returned to
United States. The mayor. although at
pains to show nothing personal inspired
the order, the Rev. Mr.. Phillips said
cited as his authority a provision OF
the Mexican constitution prohibiting
operation of schools by any religious
corporation"
The minister gathered that the may
or was acting in accordance with in
structions from the governor of the
state of Coahuila, who presumably was
directed by President Gales. Tn the
latter eventuality. all Mexican COVER
nors probably received similar orders.
the Rev. Mr.. Phillips believed.
First Protestant Ban
So far as known here, however, yes
terday's action is the first against
Protestants, although expulsion of
Catholics has been in progress for
some time.
Crossing over to Eagle Pass with the
Reverend Mr.. Phillips and Mrs. Phil
Texas; Miss Virginia Hightower, Uni
versity of Texas, Austin, and Miss Peg
gy Thrift, San Antonio, all faculty
members
The Rev. Mr.. Phillips valued the prop
erty of the school at $4,000 in an in
ventory he filed with the Mexican may
or before leaving.
The minister said he called the Mexi-
can officials attention to the fact that
the school essayed to instruct only in
the English language, and that he was
not discharging the functions of d min
ister. Methodist support of the insti-
tuition, however, the mayor argued,
brought it within the Mexican consti-
tutional limitation and left only the
question of how soon the Americans
were to be ousted.
No Religion Taught
"The mayor consulted lawyer and
/ did likewise. and we came to the
same conclusion, that the order was
peremptory," the Ref. Mr.. Phillips
said
Students and citizens of Piedras Ne
gras were plainly taken aback by the
sudden turn of affairs.
Some Of the students cried openly
while citizens showed resentment, the
minister said. He communicated a re-
port to Bishop James Cannon of Rich
mond, Va, last night.
Texas adopted English textbooks were
used in the institute, and the grades
extended from the first to seventh,
Rev. Phillips said.
"We were confining our instruction
to the English language and were not
imparting in any form, nor did we
preach religion to them," he asserted.

Storage in Transit
Potato Rate Granted
For Valley Shippers

Protection of Valley potato grower ;
against market fluctuations during
shipping is now assured by storage IN
transit rates granted Valley shippers,
according to word received today By
the Brownsville Chamber Of Commerce
traffic department.
After March 1S potato growers viii b.
allowed storage in transit on their
northbound shipments. In this way, II
the market falls while the potatoes are
enroute they can be stored on the
way without the shipper having to pay
additional charges to the destination
from the storage point. They will be
enabled to ship out when the market
rises on the balance Of the original
through rate
project offered at the l. c. C. hearih-
last October here, with the support of
President L. w. Baldwin of the Missou-
ri Pacific railway.
Heretofore potato shippers have had
to pay a combination Of local rates to
and from the storage point, which often
caused much extra expense.
Northern shippers of potato seed
from the Dakotas and nearby states
have had the advantage Of this unified
rate for some time They have been
able to ship the seed into the Valley
at the original through rate and hoIo
shipments for storage at intervening
points. Now both the shipments COM
ing south and those going north will
have uniform rates in transit with
storage allowed.
This ruling will benefit both the
Valley potato shippers as well as
those in the rest of Texas. The whole
state is allowed the same rights in po-
tato shipments and storage.
