DEMS TO WIN
RABB
Commends Smith and
Platform; Praises
Houston Mayor

The people OF Texas do not real
lIe or appreciate the enthusiasm for
Governor Al Smith in other sections
OF the United States" was the COM
ment Of Frank Rabb, who attended
the national convention at Houston.
Smith Is a man Of the common
people. he has the confidence of
the masses, and will carry many Of
the states heretofore republican ter
ritory. he was nominated upon a
platform that should appeal to every
believer IN democratic government,
and his record proves that he will
fulfill his psrty's pledges"
Mr.. Rsbb complimented Houston
up the hospitality displayed, and the
further fact there was no profiteer-
ing.
Mayor Holcombe and the people
Of Houston deserve the thanks of
Texas for the ann in which they
handled the convention" rabbi said.
Mayor Holcombe refused to side
with any faction, displaying q spirit
OF hospitality that won the COM
mendation Of all delegates
Mr.. Rabb criticized severely the
course Of Governor Moody and the
Texas delegation, stating they
should have swung into the Smith
line when u was apparent they could
gain nothing BY maintaining their
position in opposition to the New
York candidate. Relative TO the law
enforcement plank he expressed the
view that IL was "the only logical
way to handle the prohibition issue"

BIG BOY, RED
GORILLA FROM
AFRICA, HERE
Snake King Brings In
What Is Said To Be
Largest Animal of
Species Captured

Having finished his engagement at
the national democratic convention
in Houston, Big Boy" African red
gorilla from the Belgian Congo, has
arrived in Brownsville and taken up
his affairs of life at Snakeville.
big Boy claimed to be the larg-
est gorilla in captivity, and one Of
the few Of the red variety ever TO
be captured, is owned by W. A.
(Snake) King.
When standing erect. the animal
measures approximately six feet IN
height. He weighs $50 pounds and
has an arm reach OF about ~ feet.
Captured in the Belgian Congo
about six months ago. the animal was
shipped direct to New York, where
boats were changed and he "a
brought on TO Galveston. He was
shipped by rail TO Houston, arriving
several days before the opening Of
the convention, June 20.
King announced Monday that ef-
forts were being made 70 secure
space in q downtown building. prefer
ably near the new Gateway bridge,
in order that the animal might be
shown during the Fourth Of July
celebration.
An average meal for big Boy"
consists Of a dozen and a half eggs.
a dozen bananas, a half dozen ap-
Piles, a dozen oranges, two heads of
lettuce and three loaves of bread. He
is fed twice daily.
The hands of this animal are form
ed as perfectly as the human hand
and the lines are identical. The arms
are long and drag the bottom OF the
cage as he lumbers from one end TO
the other.
Although close set in q massive
face the size Of a watermelon, his
eyes are intelligent and IL is evident
that he Is a deep thinker.
The happenings that go on outside
his cage seem interesting 70 them
and IN watches with the rapt atten-
ton Of a human being.
Big Boy" IS a great faker and will
act as though he is not noticing his
keepers as they walk in front of his
cage but when least expected, his
great arms will shoot out between
the bars in an effort to grab them as
they walk by. Because of that trick
mess he has 10 be watched constantly
and a rope has been set up about 10
feet from the cage in order TO keep
spectators at a safe distance.
His body and head is covered with
red hair which hides the perfectly
formed muscles of his body. The
m~assiveness and width of his shoul-
ders evidences the great strength Of
his body.
King says he carries $4,000 life
insurance on the animal.
If / don't sell him in so days" he
said, Il shall start tanning him and
will then take him on the road my
self because / think he is the great
est attraction in America today"
He estimated that IL would take
approximately a year to get him so
that his trainers could 20 in the
cage with him and possibly an addi-
tional year before be could be taught
circus tricks such rs eating with q
knife and fork and what not.
Capt. Frank Brodbeck, associated
with King in the animal business, is
IA charge Of the animal and was his
keeper during the time he was ex-
hibited in Houston.
Should King be unable TO obtain
a place to show the animal in this
city, he announced that he would
take him TO MeAllen for exhibition
during the Fourth Of July eelebrs-
tion in that city.
