Martin B. Madden.

In his sudden and shocking death at
the Capitol yesterday, Representative
Martin B. Madden gave final demon
stration of his sturdy character and
his intense devotion to duty. For he
died literally in the discharge of his
duties as chairman of the committee on
appropriations. He was a devoted pub
lie servant. Serving his twelfth con-
eecutive term in Congress, with an
other term assured by recent renom-
ination, he had dedicated the best
period Of his life to national affairs
From the beginning of his congressional
career he was an outstanding man, his
merits being early recognized and In
short season rewarded by assignment
30 important committee duties. 1t was
upon the committee on appropriations
that Mr.. Madden rendered his most
notable service. In 1928 he succeeded
70 the craftsmanship not merely by
virtue of seniority. but through his ex-
ceptional acquaintance and familiarity
with the details of Government finance
The post of chairman of appropria-
tons in the House Of Representatives
Is one of difficulty and responsibility.
For many years past the occupant of
that position has been known as "the
watchdog of the Treasury" 1t is his
function mainly to prevent excessive
expenditures for Government main
tenance-a function in which he often
has to play an ungrateful role. But
Mr.. Madden, himself a firm believer In
the budget system and his duties some
what lightened by the adoption OF that
system, never failed to recognize the
requirement of adequate provision for
the proper operation OF the Govern
naent's departments and its manifold
activities.
Commanding the high respect and
the implicit confidence Of the House
Of Representatives. Mr.. Madden was a
powerful and influential figure In that
body. Having specialized In appropria-
lions. he adhered closely to the work
o. his committee, but at times took part
helpfuIly and constructively in other
lines OF legislation. His vision had
broadened with his years Of service and
his Judgment was much sought by his
associates It may be said that he
gave his life TO the service of public
affairs. for he lsbored necessarily. even
wnen health considerations dictated
relaxation. He passed as he would
doubtless have preferred TO 80, in
harness, n the course Of a session and
IA the very place Of his most arduous
isborx.
The District of Columbia, though at
times Mr.. Madden was not able to see
the Ascai situation as the community's
conception Of equitable relations be-
tween the Capital and the Government
required, found IN the chairman Of the
appropriations committee in the main a
steadfaSt friend. He knew Washington
well having passed the last two decades
and more Of his life virtually a. a
resident Of this city. and has seen It
Develop rapidly and IN q manner TO as
sire It's future as the most attractive
and well appointed and well admins
tered community in America. There Is
sincere sorrow for his death at the
time Of his greatest usefulness to the
Nation.

N0CALES LOSES
TO TUCSON HIGH
(By Ulpiano Sortillon)

(By Ulpiano Sortillon)
Outhitting the visitors through
out the game, the Nogales high
school baseball nine dropped the
third game of the series to the
strong Tucson high team in a
close, contested game Wednesday
afternoon. The score was 8 to 6.
Velasco, Apache twirler, held the
Tucson lads hitless for the first
four innings of the fracas, let
ting them have three hits in the
fifth, and the same number i'm the
sixth.
In the first stanza, M. Lowe
sent the first ball pitched him for
Texas Lacquer. The next two
men up were famed out. Astia-
zaran, poppy Nogales catcher,
Knocked the horsehide over left
center for three bagger, scoring
Lowe. A bingle by Simon brought
Astiazaran in. Two runs were
scored in the inning, and the To-
Gals were in the lead up to the
sixth session. In the fifth frame,
a couple of bingles and a double
for tie Badgers brought in two
men. Four runs were scored in
the next inning, bringing the
score 6 to 4 in favor of Tucson.
The Apaches came back and made
two runs in that stanza, tying the
score. The score was tied until
the ninth inning w hen D.
Carrillo, with two men out, hit
bingle, to be followed by another
by Abbott, and another by Van
Camp. Two runs, were scored. In
the last inning, the Apaches put
two men on bases, but were uns-
able to score.
All through the game, the
Apaches played a faster brand of
ball than their opponents, though
large quota of errors were made.
This, coupled with their inability
to cash on their numerous hits,
may be accounted for their de-
feat.

Many narrow escapes from acci- dents occurred on the state high way over the weekend because of the slippery conditions of the road due to the heavy snow storm. The state highway department blows cleared the roads early Sunday morning but many drivers risked travelling without chains.
 This morning a Connecticut Co. bus driven by Charles Tlenke of 55 Griswold street, New Britain, stopped to take on q passenger on Warrington ridge. A big truck with . snow ploy passed the bus at tho same time and completely blocked of the road.

A passenger. who had just entered the bus. was thrown to the floor fand received bruised knee. The bus escaped damege but the touring car did not. The radiator was slightly dented and tho mud guards and headlights were completely wrecked.
 Another Connecticut Co. bus had a narrow escape from disaster when 1t slowed down on Upson's corner and skidded across the road. The driver brought the car to a stop be- fore 1t left the road. There was no traffic at the time.
 The highway department put two trucks on the road at 10 o'clock to- day with snow blows set close to the ground in an attempt to eliminate the slippery condition of the high way. Sand will be sprinkled on the hills during the course of the day. Baseball Plans For 1928

Special meetings were held during tho last two weeks. and while no definite steps were taken, all tho members agreed to put a team in tho held again this year. Tho team was | success both financially and as . sport during tho seasons of 1925 and 1926. Some of tho fastest asEregations in the state were brought here by the club and in many cases were handed a defeat by the local nine. The nine has always been represented by well known baseball players from cities in this locality and drew many fans from New Britain and other towns.
 Last year the club had a season of hard luck and finished the sea- eon with a great financial loss. The Arrangement started the season with strong lineup but the players con- rtantly jumped the local team for other hines. keeping the lineup of

 The fire truck, driven by Lieuten- ant George Brennan was rounding d curve at the top of the hill near the Marine Lamp Company on Brook street when he noticed Hichwa's horse, attached to sleigh contain ing numerous milk bottles. in the center of the street about one hun dred yards ahead.

HOLDUP Case
GOES TO JURY
Defendant Alleges He
Was inundated by
COMPANION

The claim that he had been intimi-
dated by his companion and had been
only a passive participant in a high
way robbery on the road north from
Harljngen on April "a, was made
Thursday morning by Walter Hofer
charged with highway robbery.
Trial of the case was called We'd
nesday morning and hearing of evil
dence completed Thursday morning,
the case going TO the jury shortly
after the noon recess.
Hofer and Walter Bush, alias Jack
Smith, signed statements at their
preliminary hearing before Justice
Reed at Harlingen in which Hofer
assumed the major blame for the
holdup. The boys are alleged TO have
held up the driver Of a service car
at the point Of a pistol. secured the
car and driven through TO a point
near Alice where the car was wreck
ed and the boys arrested.
Hofer was indicted by the grand
jury but no bal vas returned against
the youth who gave his name at the
hearing as Jack Smith, but whose
real nam is Walter Bush.
Hofer on the stand Thursday
claimed he had been intimidated BY
the boy he had known as Jack
Smith," and that he was in fear Of
his companion when he made the
statement before Justice Reed.
The driver of the service car testi-
fled that Hofer was the one who
pointd the gun at him and ordered
him out of the car. Hofer maintained
that Smith had the gun, and that he
protested against the holdup. He
stated he and Smith were going 70
Houston where Smith had assured
him they could secure work on the
docks. He added that Smith had told
him there are lots Of girls in Hous-
ton" and that this had been an added
incentive TO go 10 that city.
Following the holdup north OF Har-
lingen, the driver of the service car
returned to Harlingen and informed
his employer who reported the af-
fair to officers and then started in
pursuit. The holdup occurred about
20 o'clock At night and he found his
car wrecked near Alice, the following
morning. Officers at Alice arrested
the two boys as they were walking
into town.
