SANTOS, Brazil, March 12.-While
an army of workers labored fever
ishly today clearing away the debris
Of Saturdays landslide from the
peak Of Monte Serrat, the authorities
were checking up the casualties. The
death list is put at about 40, but
others are missing and their fate ~
not yet known. Between 200 and zoe
persons were injured.
All night long beneath the glare OF
searchlignts the work Of tearing
away the wfeckage went forward in
hope of saving survivors who were
pinned beneath their shattered
homes.
Soldiers, policemen, firemen, vol
unteers and laborers from nearby
coffee plantations are attacking the
mountain OF earth and stone which
roared down the slopes of the noun
tain upon the city with the force Of a
tidal wave and the thunder of a
mighty artillery salvo.
Survivors of the catastrophe said
that the landslide took place without
warning. First they heard a low
rumble, which quickly grew louder,
while the earth trembled as though
from an earthquake. Huge boulders
crashed down the mountain side,
smashing houses and uprooting
trees.

Valley Tomatoes
Car Be Earlier
Brown White

SAN BENITO, 5.-The Lower Rio
Grande Valley can put tomatoes on
the market many weeks earlier than
at the present time, and would do
so, but for competition from Mexico.
according to a statement made here
by Brown White upon his return
from Washington.
Mr.. White was one OF the three
Valley men who represented this
section before the tariff commission
in a hearing on a proposed increase
in the duty on Mexican grown to-
matoes.
lie said that the Valley could
move its tomato planting season up a
little, and could by fertilizing, in
tensive cultivation and other means
speed up maturity Of the crop, in or
der 70 reach the market earlier. But
al the present time this is not sound,
IS Mexico comes on the market
ahead Of the Valley. and this sec
ton must wait until Mexican toma-
toes are mostly all shipped, and the
price down.
As soon as w. r. McDavitt Of
Brownsville, the only delegate TO
Washington VINO had not returned
Wednesday, reaches the Valley. ar
engagements will be made for a meet
ing Of Valley shippers and growers
to employ legal council and take 9TH
er measures in securing a tariff on
tomatoes from Mexico and other for
eign countries.

Turtles and Gar
Furnish Thrills
For Speed Boats

Running down garfish and turtles
in their natural element is highly
celebrating sport for speed boat
drivers, but is decidedly hard on the
boats.
This was demonstrated Wednesday
night when L. Merryman encountered
a gar in the Fort Brown lagoon and
yut his boat, Miss Lockwood, out of
commission. Robert Sexton in the
Half Pint III had a mix-up with an
inquisitive turtle which did not IN
derstand traffic rules. but aside from
capsizing the boat no damage was
done.
The speed drivers were tuning up
their motors on the Fort Brown la.
COON. When M~erryman's craft struck
a huge garfish there was a grinding
crash which nearly wrenched the
motor from the boat. The engine
and propeller were badly wrecked
and the garfish, a large one, was
mangled ruin.
Robert Sexton struck a large tur'
tie as he was rounding a sharp turn
at the upper end Of the lagoon at !
speed Of about 80 miles an hour. The
Little Half Pint ii shot into the ali
several feet. "sunfished" and saw
bucked" and finally capsized. The
damage to the turtle was not ascer
tanned.

STATEMENT ISSUED BY BANK H.
OF ITALY SHOWS CONFIDENCE

The buying public, which ha
been dined for two years on the
champagne of quickly realized prof
its in the stock market, must come
down to the less exciting but moro
wholesome diet of beer and vie
tuals, when normal business can
only be expected to earn normal
profits.
This is the Interpretation placed
upon the recent happenings on the
exchange ly leading financial
writers and investment houses, both
on the Pacific Coast and in the east.
These same authorities declare that
the wild scramble to purchase at
any price has been succeeded by an
equally unreasonable reaction to sell
at any price The next few months
should see the end of this condition
when sound securities will return t1
their normal levels, although it un.
deubtedly will be preceded by spas

cance in the general economic trend
