WITNESS
in ROAD Case
COESONS STAND
Preliminaries Com
pleted Wednesday
Morning; County
Auditor Testifies

After devoting two and half days
to preliminaries, submission OF evil
dence in the Boca Chica road injunc-
ton case got under way at the We'd
nesday afternoon session OF the
civil district court.
Submission OF the pleadings OF
the county and intervenors in answer
10 the complaint Of the plaintiffs
occupied the greater part Of the
morning session. after which the
plaintiffs submitted in evidence a
number of admissions contained in
the pleadings.
]. J. Bishop, county auditor, was
the first witness called, going on the
stand when the afternoon session
convened at 1880. and was question
ed to considerable length in regard
to the disposition of road funds,
reading from the records Of his Of
flee. He asserted that practically all
funds from the first $2,000,00O had
been extended in paving, grading
and construction of road structures.
and that the county had contracted
the sale OF the third million. and
that the money should be available
in a few days.
The Jury was not completed until
Tuesday afternoon and the remainder
Of the session was .aken up by the
reading Of the complaint. The jury
includes Harry Slavitchek, Bernard
Hesseling, A. Taylor, r. o. ONeal,
John Dervin, VIM. Bellinghausen, O.
n. Boston, and r. G. Delaney,
Brownsville; A. G. Hendrick and j.
C. Crossett. Harrington; l.. II. Ander-
son, La Feria, and Geo. Gamble, San
Benito.
All other members Of the jury
were excused until Friday morning
at 8 o'clock.
The complaint alleged that plain
tiffs had been damaged by failure
Of the county to construct the Boca
Chica road, and that the direct man
been violated. The fact that the
resolution of the commissioners
court had not been contained in the
election order did not lessen its
binding effect upon the court, the
plaintiffs contending that the reso.
luton had been given wide publicity
by The Brownsville Herald three days
before the election, and that practi-
cally every voter in the county was
familiar with its provisions.
The plea Of the intervenors re-
siding along the military highway
was presented by Judge II. L. Yates
l Wednesday morning, the intervenors
!. contending that the Boca Chica road
would serve no useful purpose, and
also alleged that by reason Of the
fact ii is not n public road and has
never been dedicated ms such the
resolution of the commissioners
court has no legal effect. They
plead that the military road Is one
of the oldest in the county, was le-
gally established rs a highway In
1875; that it served large and very
fertile region. and should therefore
be given priority in paving. The
| pleadings also called attention to
| the flood menace. stating that paw
ing Of the road would aid the county
to mobilize men and machinery 70
repair any threatened break in the
river levees during periods OF ma
! jor flood.

DANGER
here IS PAST
Risk Stage Not Reach
ed and Fall Expect
ed BY Tonight

With crest Of 1T feet in the
Rio Grande here Wednesday morning
ard the river reported stationary
from that time forward the worst
danger of serious damage TO lower
Valley crops is believed to have
passed. ]. W. Schnurbusch, Valley
meteorologist with offices in Browns
vile. announced.
The prediction was for slight
drop in the stream. expected 20 start
late Wednesday afternoon and to
continue through the next several
days unless further rains along the
headwaters change the present as
pect of things.
Rio Grande City reported a mark
Of 1872 feet at a. nj. Wednesday and
that the water was still falling with
no further rise in prospect. Mission
also reported a rapid drop In the
river, while at San Benito the stream
was stationary.
The Starr county city Wednesday
had practically recovered from the
effects of the wash-out of Sunday
when bridges and roads were swept
away and more than 200 families
were forced to flee their homes when
the water invaded them. The roads
were all practically repaired and
temporary bridges had been laid,
while the evacuated families were
returning to their homes.
The fact that the lower Rio Grande
Valley escaped material damage from
the heaviest rise in the Rio Grande
in the past year is ascribed 20
v,1n 81 aA ww+o-.s-- L.
rart Of Mr.. Schnurbusch, the hold
ing Of several new flood control
levees and the fact that n certain
into the floodways below Mission
and on the Mexican side Of the river
II is the first time in history, 90
far as he knows. Mr.. Schnurbusch
said. that a flood crest at Rio
Grande Citt had not brought the
river 70 flood stage in Brownsville.
The work OF the floodways alone
is believed 70 be responsible for
this.
The heavy crews of workmen
which have been patrolling the levees
along the upper Cameron and lower
Hidalgo county banks of the stream
since Monday morning had dwindled
TO a scant few Wednesday, these
confining their activities to n con-
slant watch 70 see that the waters
did not eat into the banks.
II will probably be several days
however, before the Rio Grande is
back to a normal stage, Mr.. Srhnur-
busch indicated, although all danger
is past from the present flood as
long as constant vigilance is main
tanned and no new rise makes its ap-
paarzncas

in connection with the attack a week
ago on Leonard w. Kephart, 36-year
old agriculture department agrono-
mist, and the abduction in kephart's
car OF K. Percival Wilson, Washing
ton bank official.
Kephart, an expert IN clover IN
vestirations, was attacked while driv-
ing through soldiers lone grounds
enroute to his department, and was
left unconscious in the road after be-
ing stripped OF most OF his clothes.
Wilson later was abducted in KEEP
hart's car, but frightened off his
captor after being driven a mile from
his home.
The two men were brought to-
rether for the second time last night,
this time in a police station. They
were questioned for more than two
hours and Kephart required the as
sistance OF several friends when he
left the building.

pressing further interest in the Val
ley problem and indicating a per-
sonal visit on the part Of the Official

between Brownsville and Mission,
with stops at all intermediate points,
will follow soon upon the heels of the
official visit.
Much Of Tuesday was spent by Mr.,
bennett in phoning leading mer-
chants, business houses and all the
banks for suggestions regarding the
time of arrival and departure OF the
proposed new conveyances. A tenta-
tive schedule, offered by Mr.. Gaines
merely as a suggestion, calling for q
mid-morning start and afternoon de-
livery from both ends, met with ap-
proval of many, but the banks and
some of the merchants were in favor
Of an early morning start and de-
livery.
Several inquiries from prospective
h;Jdars have heen received at the
local post office and letter from
Mr.. Gaines mentioned that local
carriers had also written him with
reference to the matter.
One plan under consideration Is
for a motorcycle delivery between
the different towns, il is said.

message early this morning that the
Italia had experienced an hour and
a half fog and had to fly at height
Of 1900 meters in a so kilometer wind
at a speed Of from 80 TO 40 kilome-
ters.
At seven o'clock this morning the
Venezia flag was dropped over Tipliz

ton of 1909 and perished there.
At eight o'clock. two-thirds of the
flight had been made and the air
ship was then northeast Of Franz
Josef's sea. All aboard were well.
The dirigible was then proceeding
10 the east coast of Lenin Land where
an ice anchor will be dropped and
three men put ashore on this little
known land.

to land an exploring party on Lenln
Land, which is represented only
vaguely on maps. This party will in
clude Meteorologist Malmgren, Pro-
fessor Petromoli and two naval Off
GERS to make Photographic and typo
graphic examination.
The landing will be made only II
the weather is very favorable and
even then the exploring party will
not be left TO take chances with the
Arctic since the Italia will hover
overhead until the observations are
completed.

miles) on the present trip although
il carries enough benzine for a trip
Of 5000 kilometers. The Italia is
