HOUSTON, Oct. 29.-"Full agree

" a candidate for public office By

today. "The less definite and
more vague the candidates principles

aThere is no reason why the same

Recommendations
On Equipment

First steps towards the formation
of q fire department in Matamoros
to prevent in the future any such
crisis as arose at the recent fire at
the Lorenzo Garibay warehouses

found the city u~nprepared, were TAX
en- in Brownsville Saturday afteroon
when Mayor Antonio Martinez and

Ter.
Detailed discussions Of necessary
equipment were taken up by the
group and Weller was requested to at
once get in touch with various manu-
facturers of fire equipment in order
that the plans might be carried into
effect as oon as possible.
The Matamoros city government
proposes to build a modern fire sta
ton. centrally located, and with
enough equipment to take care of
any emergencies. In their discus
sion the visitors from the heroic
city explained that expense was no
object and that all necessary funds
could be raised to obtain first-class
equipment and a capable staff of
firemen.
Garibay presented the fire chief Of
Brownsville during the same visit
with 500 in appreciation of the
cooperation offered by the local men
during the blaze of several days ago.
The money will be distributed among
the four firemen who made the run,
Chief Weller declared.

MODERN TRADE
TRIPPERS end.
GOODWILL HOP
Group Arrives
In Mexico City Sat-
urday After Un-
eventful Journey

The Texas goodwill party, the mod
ern trade trip extraordinary, was
spending the night in Mexico City
Saturday, following a hop from Hous-
ton to the Mexican capital that was
halted for two and a half days at
Tampico by bad weather.
The two planes bearing the party Of
chamber of commerce representatives
and newspaper men dropped into VAL
buena field shortly before noon Sat-
urday. The reception accorded them
was a hastily gathered affair, but
sincere n~ontheless. according to word
received here.
Notice of their coming was lack
ing and the crowd that turned out
was materially short of that wait
ing at the field for hours Wednesday
when the planes started the trip.
Mexico City chamber of commerce
officials and members Of the gov
rla- sL~tf aided in making the
visitors welcome, and entertained
them with a dinner in a downtown
hotel Saturday night.
While in the capital OF Mexico the
party will stop at the st. Regis Hotel.
II is planned to remain there over
Saturday and Sunday and return to
Brownsville Monday about noon, ac-
cording TO a letter tent here Satur-
day afternoon by airplane from G. c.
Richardson. a member of the party.
This route would indicate that no
stop will be made at Tampico on the
trip back from Mexico City.
The party was royalty entertained
at that place during their long lay
over there, Mr.. Richardson said. Mex
lean officials, headed by Alcade San
Pedro, cooperating with the Am
erican chamber of commerce there,
have been combining in the enter
tainment program, he said.
Every person the party came in
contact with expressed the opinion
that the proposed international air
mail route by way of Houston,
Corpus Christi, Brownsville and Tam
pico is by far the best. the letter
stated.
The goodwill party is composed Of
Mr.. Richardson, Ralph Bradford,
managerof the Corpus Christi Cham
manager of hte Corpus Christi Cham
trade department of the Houston
chamber; ]. II. B. House, Houston
water commissioner; IT. W. House.
Jr., Paul c. Yates, Houston Post

Two Mexican civilian aviators in
a biplane used for aerial advertising
were killed shortly before the ar

crashing from a height of $500
feet.
The dead were Joaquin Sapicio. a
