FLAY CREACER
State POLICY
Hoover Endorsement
Raped by Former
COP Candidate

DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 23.-(Pf-R. B.
Creager, republican national COM
mitteeman from Texas, Is severely
criticized in n statement issued by
George Griffith, one time republican
candidate for election to the Texas
legislature.
Never has man posing as a state
national committeeman arrogated TO
himself the authority and despotic
power as has Creager," the state
ment declares. "He has called two
snap rump conventions. At the last
one, announced to select the time
and place Of the next republican con-
vention OF Texas, and without due
notice to the voters, Creager with his
handful of made-to-order delegates
then and there assumed the further
authority of selecting for party vot-
ers the next president of the United
States. Herein did he purposely st-
tempt to mould opinion OF the voters.
and attempted literally to do all their
thinking for them in this weighty
matter.
Further, Creager, seconded by
Prince Nolte Eugene Nolte, Of
Seguin, state chairman) and their
dominating rule, prohibited the only
independent alternate delegate from
voting or lending his voice with pro-
test under the rump convention. He
was excluded on the grounds that he
was under civil service rules.
"Mr. Creage- has attempted 20 Sc
lect for Us a republican candidate for
the presidency, Mr. Hoover. the inde-
pendent. the man who has SO long af-
filiated with the opposing party and
affiliated actively politically with
them"

Search For Girl
Is Sans Results

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Jan. 23.-
P]-The hope that flared momentar-
lily when reports placing Miss Fran
ces st. John Smith, missing college
freshman. in Paris. reached here late
last night had flickered out today as
news came that the girl in question
had proved to be a New York City
young woman with no connection
with the case.
Investigators who tvf more than
a week have conducted a widespread
search for the daughter of the veal
thy st. John Smith, New York
broker. were admittedly at loss for
new clues.
The $4,000 reward offered BY the
distracted parents seemed only to
have resulted in an increase Of
"crank" letters. Countless reports
from all over the eastern part of
the country have failed to produce
a single authentic fact and IS far
as can be determined Miss Smith
has never been seen alive since she
left her room a week ago last Fri
day.

was Sl1s,70T.T6 in illegal disburse-
ments and S79,125.26 in wasteful

PLEASED With
VALLEY VISIT
Crowley, Pre- sident,
With Party of Rail
Executives Making
Tour Today

Expressing surprise and pleasure
at the progress and development
greeting him on all sides. P. E. Crow
ley, of New York, president of the
New York Central lines, the worlds
greatest railway system, set foot in
the Valley Monday on his first visit
to this section.
The executive headed a party of
16 rail officials of the New York
Central and Big Four lines, here for
a one-day tour. The party arrived
in Mission early Monday morning,
following an all-night run from San
Antonio, where they spent Sunday.
They were met by a delegation of
Cameron and Hidalgo county bust
ness men, who took them in auto
mobiles TO Sharyland, home OF John
II. Shary, the Valleys premier fruit
grower and packer, for breakfast.
Here again the rail executive was
given an opportunity to express sur
prise and pleasure. Valley grapefruit
was that opportunity, and he took
full advantage of it. He waxed elo-
quent in his praise or the fruit,
which he said was greatly superior
to any found on the eastern markets.
The Southwest in general and the
Valley in particular, have provided
large railroad tonnage during the
last several years, and there is every
reason 70 believe that this tonnage
will be increased very materially dur
ing the next few years, Mr.. Crow
ley said.
He was greatly surprised, he de-
clared, with the development Of the
country throdeh Oklahoma an a
Texas, and all indications are that
an even greater surprise will Be in
store for those making their first
visit to this territory a few years
hence.
Sunday was spent in rest and
recreation at San Antonio, many OF
the group taking advantage of the
holiday to play a round Of golf.
Members Of the party were due in
Brownsville at ! p. m. for a lunch
con in Matamoros. following jour
ney down the Valley by auto. The
special train by which the rail heads
came to this section was to meet
them here and convey them to Hous-

Speech OF Admiral and

Flayed BY Borah AS
Highly Mischievous

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 23.-(Pl-
The New York Times today quotes
Rear Admiral Charles P. Plunkett,
commandant Of the Brooklyn navy
yard, as denying that he predicted
war with Great Britain.

as saying. "You go get the record;
you will see what l said and you
will get something worth while. Ny
remarks were taken down stenograph-
ically.
~ am not in the habit of predict
ing war. Preparedness, in my mind
and in the mind of all other navy
and army men, leads to peace and
not to war"
The stenographic records of the
admiral's address was not available.
The Sunday Herald Tribune's &C
count of a public speech BY the ad-
mirsl on Saturday said he "was ask
ed later il he anticipated war with
Great Britain"
"The answer was instant and un-
equivocal," said the Herald-Tribune.
"'Yes, / mean Great Britain or

at the outset declare war, but she
will let some smaller nation do that
