Confidence in ones ability-or the
team which he is on-is a fine at
tribute to any athlete. But it can
work to the detriment of the player
or team, in that il sometimes goes
10 the point of overconfidence.
Friday Of this week, two stellar
football clubs, San Benito and
Brownsville high school elevens, will
battle on the local field. Both are
confident of winning-and IL there is
any over-confidence on the part of
any player or tcam-better dispose
of that idea right now. In most cases
over-confident teams are due for dis
appointment.
Valley fans are pulling or should
be at least, for Harlingen to win
from Robstown Friday. Several elev-
ems have invaded the Valley in the
past month, and each time have been
sent away with the short end Of the
score. Come on Harlingen, bear
down. we are pulling for you to keep
the record clean.

Boston Braves resulted in an ~investi-

the coaches is "Cracker' Schalk,

Schalk will be one OF the few
coaches who can play in a pinch.

LITTLE loot in
U. S. Land LEFT
TO Be PIRATED
Original Public Domain Is
Reduced by Nearly 90
Percent in Size.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Out of
all this distressing scandal about the
way Mr.. Sinclair and Mr.. Doheny
got the navy's oil reserves and the
way other enterprising oil men OBJ
tanned from the government the
worlds richest oil field at Salt
Greek. comes one sweet, consoling
thought:
The public lands, property of the
people, offer little more to worry
about.
Enterprising pirates long since
looted by far the better part of them
and If any Of value remain, someone
must have Numbered.
Congress More Honest
In addition to the fact that not
much is left to grab, the fact that
Congress is probably more honest
and certainly far less susceptible to
brides and that conservationists in
this century have been better or
ganized and more militant must also
be taken into account.
The original public domain has
been computed at 1,800,000,000 acres,
more than five-sixths of the CONT
mental area of the United States.
Vacant and unappropriated public
lands now amount to about 10000
600 acres, most of which is compar-
atively worthless, though more than
100000, 900 acres remain under juris-
diction of the General Land Office
in one way or another.
The government also retains more
than 18O,000,000 acres of national
forest preserves along with various
lesser tracts held for government
purposes.
Land In Several States
The public lands now vacant are
in Arizona, Arkansas, California,
Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Minnesota,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon,
South Dakota, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming.
Some of the public lands now in
private hands were acquired legiti-
mately. But tens Of millions Of
acres, according to authorities, were
acquired by fraud.
The business Of obtaining public
lands by theft or bribery is almost
as old as the reported impossibility
OF convicting a man with a million
dollars.

2O8 JAILED FOR
BUSINESS FRAUD
BY Credit men
Report Shows Increase in
Convictions in Fake
Failure Plots.
II, 1928

NEW YORK, May 11.-Convic-
lions of 208 commercial criminals in
United States and indictments
against 419 persons charged with
business fraud we're secured by the
National Association Of Credit Men
in the last twelve months, according
to the annual report of Samuel Ar
dron, Jr, comptroller of the associa-
ton, for the fiscal year ended
April 80.
The report, made public today,
says that since the national credit
protection fund of $1,4OO,000 was
raised by the association three years
ago, 444 commercial criminals have
been convicted on the strength of
evidence secured by the credit Or
ganization, and indictments have
been returned against 1,142 persons,
of whom 596 are awaiting trial.
It says further that during the
past twelve months $40 requests for
Investigations of bankruptcies were
received by the association from
business houses, and that in the
preceding yearly period the number
of requests was 789.
1.-THE decrease in the number of
cases investigated is significant for
two reasons" the report says. First,
a great many fake failure artists
are being sent to prison; and second,
other dishonest business men are
being discouraged from perpetrating
fraud by fear of this new force in
business.
although the number Of cases
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-05-11

handled has diminished, the number
of convictions secured has grown
from 148 in the 1867 period to 208
in the last year.
Indictments have increased from
405 in the former period to 419 in
the twelve months just closed.
"It is difficult to estimate accur-
ately the sum saved for business
concerns by the forced retirement of
several hundred active bankruptcy
crooks, but it is reasonable to be-
lieve, in view of the lessening num-
Der Of fraudulent failures, that
vigorous prosecution efforts have
prevented the loss of many millions
Of dollars"

BROWNSVILLE A DISTRIBUTION CENTER

In its port proposal Brownsville is submitting the most comprehen-
sve cooperative proposition in the history of South Texas. II a pro-
posal which carries with it the future prosperity and development not
only of Brownsville and contiguous territory but the entire Valley.
For many years Brownsville has had the ambition to become the
distribution center for the most prosperous area in the South. It has
co-operated in the development Of irrigation systems and all other pro-
jects tending to build up the Valley communities, to increase produc-
ton and create new wealth. Brownsville, a S the principal distribution
center has grown as the Valley developed, and will continue to grow
as additional acreage is brought under cultivation and production and
population increase.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-12-18
WILL FACILITATE DEVELOPMENT

The fact is obvious that under present transportation conditions
development of the resources of the Valley will be slow, and many
years will elapse before the available acreage can be brought under
profitable production. The one means Of facilitating this development
and assuring highly prosperous conditions within the territory for which
Brownsville is the logical distribution center lies in the completion Of
the proposed ship channel and development of water transportation.
In its proposal to finance the ship channel and port project, the
Brownsville navigation district is not only cooperating in assuring i'm
mediate development of Valley resources but will also create a condi-
ton through the Valley and northeast Mexico which will make this
city the most important receiving and distribution point N the lower
Gulf coast.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-12-18
VOTERS SHOULD AID PROJECT

Every voter in the Brownsville navigation district owes it to him
self and the Lower Rio Grande Valley to 60 to the polls Saturday and
vote for permanent organization of the district and authorization Of
the 100000 bond issue. Naturalization of the Valleys vision of a
deep water port depends upon their decision, and they should bear in
mind that upon them rests the responsibility of the future prosperity
not only Of Brownsville and contiguous territory, but the entire Valley.
Brownsville has never failed to extend cooperation in the solution of the
Valleys problems, but in this movement they are cooperating in the
solution If the most difficult problem with which the Valley has been
confronted since development of the Valleys rich resources a in
augurated.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-12-18
MUST SAFEGUARD APPROPRIATION

Brownsville stepped into the breach at a time when it seemed very
probable the Valley would lose the appropriation proposed by the river
and harbor committee of the house. Brownsville leaders realized that
failure to meet the federal conditions would delay construction of the
port many years. They advanced the navigation district proposition, a
proposition which the voters of the district have been called upon to
ratfy on Saturday, December %. The Brownsville proposition is only
one which meets the requirements Of the government. Failure at this
time would be the most serious blow that could be dealt Brownsville
and the entire Valley which is dependent upon the Brownsville navi.
cation district to provide water transport.
