San Antonio's gesture of sympathy
and friendship will start at New

From the train the body will be
taken TO the municipal auditorium

SUSPECT Held
Linen Keeper Accused
Of Looting Mail

NEW YORK, July 20.-(P)-Archi-
bald Chapman, assistant linen keep
er in the stewards department. was
charged today with the theft Of reg
istered mail from the United States
liner Leviathan between July Is
and July %. while the vessel was on
the high seas.
Chapman was held in $500 bail
for a hearing on August 9 when ar
raigned before United States COM
missioner O'Neill. He is 80 and
comes from London, England.
The leviathan docked here yester-
day. Commodore Cunningham, her
master. said that il had been learned
that the loss from the mails would
not exceed $4,000. but a postal in
spector placed the loss $4,000 higher.
At that time both denied that an ar
rest had been made.
A detective had made the round
trip on the Leviathan in order TO in
vestigate the robbery. II was some
time after the robbery had been dis
covered before the loss could be de-
termined because il was necessary TO
check with the senders of the mail.

MYSTERY YET
VEILSFATEO
LOWENSTEIN
French Government Is
Expected to Order
Probe to Learn If
Death Was Suicidal

CALAIS. France, July 20.-(PD-
Finding Of the body Of Captain Al
fred Lowenstein, Belgian financier,
today revived the mystery which sur
rounds his death.
1t was believed the French gov
ernment would begin an official in
quiry to establish whether death was
accidental or suicidal and whether
any of his fellow passengers on the
fatal plane trip share responsibility
for his death. Discovery of the body
definitely set at rest rumors that the
mystery MAJ of European finance
had perpetrated a gigantic hoax and
was still alive.
Authorities still have to determine
whether he fell accidentally from his
plane in crossing the channel or de-
liberately wrenched open the exit
door and plunged to his death.
DR.. Boulfroy, who examined the
body, found nothing TO show the ex-
act cause Of death, whether he was
drowned or killed by the shock of
the fall from a height of 1000 feet.
All he could do was to make abso-
lutely certain of the identity by COM
parison of the dental work with work
that it was known that Captain Low
enstein had done. 1t was considered
probable that the case would be

FINAL
EDITION
I'm OUR
VALLEY

NALLEY-GROWN POTATOES are
in cold storage at Weslaco. Harlin-
gen, Dallas and Houston.
1t is possible to create a market
for them.
Certainly Valley consumers Of
potatoes will gladly enter drive TO
consume as many Of these Valley
potatoes as possible. II is necessary
only to bring out their attention.
Farmers who have potatoes 70 sell
should see TO il that potatoes that
rave been dug and not cold stor-
aged, do not reach the consumer.
They are said not to be desirable.
But potatoes that have been kept
in the ground or in cold storage
have been okayed for table con-
sumption.
Make a Valley potato as present
able at the market or in the grocery
as the imported potato, and it will
sell as readily.
b Women's clubs that have summer
sessions should pass resolutions en-
dorsing the use of Nalley-grown
potatoes.
Even at politicat meetings, some
candidate might be selected to pre-
sent the plea Of the Valley potato
to be consumed.
THE WHOLE SITUATION is
something like this:
The potato crop IN the United
States this year is far above the
demand.
Farmers OF Cameron county own
about a hundred carloads Of spuds
which they grew last spring, and
which they have been unable 70 tlnd
a market for.
For some reason or other. pota-
toes have been imported from other
sections. with some of our own crop
on hand.
These importations have been
made. doubtless, because housewives
wanted them.
The retailers, all conditions being
equal, will be as glad to sell the
homegrown potato as the imported
spud.
All that is necessary Is for
housewives TO order Valley potatoes
the red skinned kind-and they
will be supplied.
II VALLEY FARMERS own a
hundred carloads Of potatoes, that
means something like 100000
pounds.
The Valley itself could not very
easily consume this amount OF
potatoes in a hurry. but il could
make mighty large inroads into the
supply.
And the money paid for those
potatoes. originating in the Valley
will remain in the Valley. to be ex.
pended for groceries, drygoods, drug
store supplies, mems and women

cut down that automobile note.
