new YORK MEN
VISIT VALLEY
Investigate Section
With View of In
vesting In Bonds

The Lower Rio Grande Valley is a
country of wonderful opportunities,
was the verdict of Robert b. White,
vice president Of Rutter & Co, in
vestment bankers Of Wall street,
New York, who arrived in Browns
vile Monday morning for a tour of
the Valley.
Mr.. White is accompanied by John
n. Camp of San Antonio and New
York, connected with banking houses
in both cities.
They will spend the day in the
Valley covering the Brownsville Sec
ton during the morning and going
to H~arlingen and upper Valley points
in the afternoon. They expect 10
leave Monday evening for Corpus
Christi and from there will proceed
TO the Winter Garden district west
Of San Antonio.
Mr.. White was greatly impressed
with the Brownsville section and
such parts of the Valley as he had
seen. He stated that development
exceeded his expectations and he
was rather surprised TO find the Val
ley cities excelling in facilities those
Of equal population in the north.
The bankers came to the Valley
upon the request of County Judge o.
c. Dancy, who asked them to make a
thorough investigation of this sec
tion in connection with proposed in
vestments in county and district
bonds.
Mr.. White left New York last
week, and stated that New York City
Is enthusiastic over the prospects
Of nominating Governor Alfred
Smith for president on the demo-
cratic ticket.
The financial interests of New
York City regard Smith and Hoover
as safe men, and there Is no logical
reason why there should be any bus
mess depression as a result Of the
presidential campaign. The finaa-
cial interests this year will be di-
vided along party lines. The cleo
tion of either Smith or Hoover will
make no difference from a business
standpoint"

KING GEORGES
FEVER LOWERS
Most Optimistic Bulletin
Since Crisis Issued by
Physicians

London, Dec. 6.-(AP)-T The
statement that King Georges gen.
eral condition was slowly improv-
ing. made in the official morning
bulletin from his physicians, was
the most welcome announcement
that has come from Buckingham
palace since his majesty's illness
became critical few days ago. It
served to cheer greatly the hearts
Of his loyal subjects who have been
waiting with tense anxiety for some
such word that would indicate q
turn for the better.
The medica. bulletin signed by
Lord Dawson Of Penn and Sir Stan
ley Hewett, said:
"The king has passed q fair night
and his temperature this morning is
lower. The general condition ID
slowly improving and the infective
process, which remains severe. ID
becoming more localized"
It would probably seem unwise ia
interpret too optimistically the
words Of the bulletin, for the king
has now been i'll for II days and il
granted to be still = very sick man,
Also it could hardly be thought that
the chances for another turn for the
worst have been eliminated.
There were other features about
the bulletin than that mentioning
the kings general improving condi-
tion, however, which had q favor
able sound. One Of these was that
after passing . fairly comfortable
night, his temperature was lower.
Another was that there was an in
creasing locali1ation Of the infec-
tive process in his chest. The ply
sicians none the less indicated that
this process was still severe.

CONFLICTS WITH TARIFF
Committee Chairman Does Not

Far Enough
CONFLICTS WITH TARIFF

Washington, Dec. 6.-(AP)-
Chairman Haugen of the House
Agricultural committee, said today
after . meeting of his committee
that there was very grave doubt as
to the possibility Of passing 4 re.
lief bill at this session of congress.
The chairman said that members
Of his committee had discussed the
feasibility Of putting through an
agricultural relief measure ut the
short session and it developed that
there was q real division Of opinion
among the friends of farm relief as
to how far to 60 now to obtain leg.
islation.
Some Of the members felt that
there might be difficulty in con-
forming farm aid and tariff revision
proposals should the agricultural
bill be passed before the ways and
means committee has completed its
formulation of q new schedule Of
duties on agricultural products.
The committee adjourned without
taking any definite action TOWARD
preparing a schedule for its proce.
dure on farm relief during the ses.
sion.
Chairman Haugen, discussing the
bill introduced several days ago by
Senator McNary, Republican, Ore.
gon, afterward expressed the opinion
that the measure did not 60 fal
enough to make the tariff effective
It is without the equalization fee
which characterized the twice vetoed
McNary- Haugen bill.
