The big drop in exports, in the
face Of more propitious weather for

of the beginning of the present con-
centrated move TO make the boun-
dairy unsafe for rum runners.
The present push Is divided
among three specific arms Of the

mating the effort.
In the customs service are $50

craft are peacefully engaged they
usually submit to the search. If
there is liquor aboard a fight some

patrol Is made anything but easy
by the fact that ii cannot operate
in Canadian waters. The interna-
tional boundary line passes through
the Detroit river and at no point
is the river much more than a mile
in width. In most place it is even
narrower. and always half Of it Is
recognized as Canadian territory.
Although the border patrol in the
Detroit district Is charged with pa
trolling approximately 100 miles Of

in the approximately II miles Of

Advocates
Increasing Judges
In Supreme Court

ROUND ROCK, Tex, July 9.-(P)
Adoption of an amendment to the
constitution increasing membership
of the supreme court from three to
nine was advocated as a step to
strengthen materially Texas judi
cial system in an address by Gov
ernor Moody here today. The gov
ernor'S appearance was in connec-
ton with the annual reunion Of
Williamson county residents.
The proposed amendment, togeth-
er with another increasing the gov
ernor'S salary from $4,000 to $40, 900
annually, will be balloted on at an
election set for July 16.
The governor asserted adoption of
the amendment would not be a po-
litical victory for himself and its re-
lection would not be a political de-
feat.
Il advocated submission Of this
amendment and I now advocate its
adoption, because conditions are
such that the welfare of the state
and the speedy disposition Of litiga-
ton demands a supreme court Of
nine judges" he said.

Dancy Doubts That
Board Will Grant
Irrigation Permit

Judge Q. G. Dancy was the first
witness in the hearing by the state
board of water engineers of the APP
plication by j. IT. Franklin of Edin-
burg for perSsion to irrigate $4,000
acres in Hidalgo county; he testified
about two minutes and was back
in Brownsville Tuesday morning.
"The room was filled with wit
neSseS for both Sides" Dancy said.
&C. L. Hunter Of Cameron county
district number five was the sec
ond witness. I don't believe the
board will grant the permit on the
ordinary flow of the river. They
know it would be too hard on the
Lower Valley. 1t is possible that the
permit will be granted for diverting
flood waters"
Judge Dancy said he also visited
the state highway department and
state department Of health while in
Austin.
