TRAINS CRASH
ON SPIDERWEB
Crews Escape When
Engines Hit in San
Benito Suburbs
Especial to The Heraldl

SAN BENITO, Feb. 1s.-Two trains
Of the San Benito e. Rio Grande Val
ley Railway collided head-on here
Friday afternoon, about 3 o'clock.
Although both engines were con-
siderably smashed up, no one was in
jured, the fireman and engineeSs
being shaken up but not otherwise
affected by the collision.
The crash happened on the south
ern outskirts Of the city where the
railroad line enters town. One of
the trains carried a passenger car,
and was coming into the city.
The other carried several freight
cars, and was just rounding a curve,
with the view obstructed by houses,
when the two came together, near
street crossing.
The freight engine was damaged
most, the entire front end of il be-
ing caved in, while the center part Of
the other engine was also pushed in.
The two engines were virtually lock-
ed together, so that when the engine
pulling the passenger cars, which
was still able TO move, backed off,
il pulled out the small front wheels
of the freight engine, and left IL nost
down on the track.
The street was blocked for a time,
until a wrecker crew got on the job
and moved the engines and debris
from the street and the track.
Hundreds of persons were attracted
by the noise Of the collision, and
others continued to swarm around
the scene Of the wreck throughout
the afternoon.
Officials of the railway could give
no cause for the collision.

ence of southern governors to study
necessary action to improve agricul-
tural conditions in the South fea-
tured the resolutions passed by the
Second District convention Of the
Texas Bankers association in
Brownsville Friday.
The convention was one Of the
most representative ever held by
the bankers Of the southern district,
practically every part of the dis
trict being represented by individ-
uals or groups. The flying squad
ron," including bankers from New
York, San Francisco, Chicago, St.
Louis and other large financial cen
ters, evinced much interest in the
proceedings Of the convention, and
expressed themselves as well i'm
pressed with such sections of Texas
as they had visited, and especially

Maintain dead" Bandit Reward
W. VI. Massie Of Fort Worth, presi-
dent of the Texas Bankers associa-
tion, announced that the dead" ban
dit reward policy of the state asso-
citation would be maintained, and that
dead bank bandits would continue TO
be valued at $4,000 each in Texas.
He asserted the reward offer was
strictly in accord with the laws Of
the state and the constitution of
the United States, and also declared
it had proved very valuable in
warning bank robbers to refrain
from practicing their profession in
Texas.
"The reward will stand so long as
the Texas bankers subscribe for the
fund.-" he said. "and there is no
indication that they are not back OF
il with both their moral and financial
support"
There was no dissent expressed by
the bankers relative to the action
taken by the state association. No

STAGE TSET
Border Road Field tt
Be Used for Event;
Planes Due

Decision to hold the air circus of
the American Legion and the Border
Airways on n field off the Border
highway, rather than at the Airwayt
flying field on Highway No. ~, was
reached at q conference Of heads OF
those organizations Saturday morn
ing.
The new field is located about five
and a half miles from the city, and
has many advantages for such an
event that the regular flying field
does not have, according 70 Charles
Hardin, promoter.
IL is no further away from the city,
and the roads, unless more rain sets
in, are in perfect condition. IL is
located a short distance from the
Border highway, and county ROAD
crews have been engaged during the
past two days in dragging the "feed'
road until it Is rs smooth as the
highway itself.
The show will be held Sunday aft
ernoon at 2:30, with all the stunts
advertised for last week on the pro-
gram. Shorty Radack will do his
stunts, and "a whole flock Of air
planes will perform their aerial
tricks.
Airplanes from all over the state
will Be here. including several army
ships from Kelly Field, at San An
tonic, according to Hardin. Every
shin in the Valley will be on hand,
and E. C. Hammond, Of San Antonio,
president of the Southern Airways,
will come down in a new Swallow,
piloted by Capt. W. 7. Long. The ship
Is being taken from the shop at Dali
las Saturday, and will be run from
that city 70 San Antonio. The trip
from there will be made Sunday
morning. =,
Several other upstate pilots have
tentatively promised 70 be on hand
for the event, which Hardin says VIII
Be the biggest thing Of its kind ever
held here. r
Les Mauldin was scheduled TO fly
up the Valley Saturday with hand
bills advertising the show, and also
to fly over Brownsville, dropping the
literature.

MYERS MAKES
EXPLANATION
Letter Given Probers
Unsent, Says Trade
Board Member

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is.-(PD-The
inadvertent filing of an unsent let
ter is given by Abram F. Myers Of
the Federal Trade commission as the
reason the copy Of letter which he
gave a senate judiciary committee
differs widely from one sent to Fed
eral Judge Morris A. Soper Of Balti-
more, in connection with the judges
dismissal of a Clayton act complaint
against the Continental Baking COM
pany.
At a previous hearing Of the sub
committee in its inquiry into entry
of consent dissolution decree
against the Ward Food Products
company, Myers filed a copy of a
letter to support his contention that
he had accused Judge Soper that
upon entry of the decree the COM
mission would dismiss its own COM
plant against the Continental. The
copy was quite unlike the original
presented yesterday by Judge Soper
who appeared at his own request to
answer criticism in the committees
majority report of his handling OF
the consent decree case.
The carbon copy given the commit
tee by Myers declared that in his
presentation of the case to Judge
Soper in court he had informed him
that when the decree was entered
and the Clayton act complaint
against the Continental, filed in dis
trcit court at Baltimore, was dis
missed, the commission then would
dismiss its own complaint against
the company. The letter presented
yesterday by Soper did not contain
this statement.
The consent decree itself merely
dismisses the complaint filed in
court in view of the similar COM
plant before the commission, but
makes no mention of the dismissal
action which Myers said was con-
templated by the commission.
The discrepancy between the two
letters brought from Chairman Bo-
rah Of the committee the statement
that mot only lying. but forgery
appeared involved. He said Myers
would be called before the commit
tee next week and that if his expla-
nation was not satisfactory the COM
mittee would act further but he did
not 20 into details.

OF LATE
MARK HANNA
FOUND SLAIN
r. L. Ireland, Capital
ist Shot in Room Of
N. Y. Eotel Killed
Self, Police Say

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-tPD-Rob-
ert Livingston Ireland, 60-year-old
capitalist and partner Of the late
Mark Hanna. was found shot TO
death in his apartment at TIE Hotel
Seymour last night. DR.. Charles
Cassasa, assistant medical examiner,
said il was a case of suicide.
Mrs. Ireland, who discovered her
husbands body on the bed upon her
return from a shopping tour, told
police he had been in i'll health for a
year and had been respondent for
some time.
Four bullet wounds were found in
the body, two near the heart and
two flesh wounds near his side. A
.32 calibre revolver lay on a chif-
fonier within two feet Of his right
hand.
Four Of the seven chambers con-
tanned discharged cartridges.
Acting Inspector Ross said Ireland
apparently had been standing before
the chiffonier mirror when he shot
himself as there were bloodstains
on the mirror and on a photograph
Of Mrs. Ireland that stood on the
chiffonier.
Detectives, however. were continu-
ing their investigation today as a re-
suit of what they said were several
puzzling circumstances. They said
they were unable to understand how
a man of Mr.. Ireland's age could
stand under the shock of four bull
lets fired into his body from a dis
tance of only q few inches.
Mrs. Ireland said that when she
last saw her husband at 1880 in the
afternoon he appeared cheerful. DR..
John H. Keating. his personal physi-
clan. said Mr.. Ireland had been on
the road to recovery and had planned
TO leave with Mrs. Ireland for Hon
olulu in few days on an extended
trip.
Mr.. Ireland was married in 1894 to
Miss Kate Hanna, daughter Of II. NJ.
Hanna of Cleveland, and niece Of
Mark Hanna, the republican political
leader. He was divorced in 1919.
The couple had two children. Robert
L., Jr., and Elizabeth ireland. He
married Miss Mary Esther Wood in
New York in 1920.
