AIRPORT May
GET STATION
Sexton Confers With Wea'
Their Official In Wash
ington On Matter

Possibility that a weather bureau
station will be established at the
Brownsville municipal airport and
that the Mexican-American inter
change Of weather reports will be
routed through here in the future,
is seen in a letter from H. L. Sex
ton, minority clerk in the house Of
representatives, to w. j. Schnur-
busch, local meteorologist.
Agitation for the establishment Of
the station at the airport has been
afoot here for some time.
While not so stated in the letter,
it is believed that the rerouting Of
the interchange reports between
Mexico and the United States would
be handled by radio station NAY
here. The report is now handled
by cable from Vera Cruz to New
Orleans.
The letter to Schnurbusch in part
follows:
Il had a conference today with
Commissioner G. 3. Martin of the
weather bureau, and he seemed we'll
impressed with the proposition rela-
tive to establishing a weather re-
porting station at the airport. He
indicated that a survey of the sit
uation would be made, and
instructed Mr.. Gregg to confer with
the navy and state departments
in connection with diverting the
Mexican weather reports from Mex
leo City by way Of Brownsville in
stead of Vera Cruz to New Orleans.
THE commissioner readily grasp
ed the advantage which would ac-
crue to the bureau by securing the
Mexican reports earlier and thanked
me for calling the matter to his at
tention, stating he IS confident the
matter can be adjusted. Under the
plan he outlined the Vera Cruz
New Orleans cable would be elm
mated and all reports from Mexico
City come via Brownsville to New
Orleans.
Commissioner Martin stated that
no funds would be available to eS-
tablish the service prior to July /,
but indicated that the survey would
be made prior to that time. He stat
ed it would be necessary to confer
with the postoffice and commerce
departments.
81 am writing Mayor A. B. Cole,
and would suggest you read this to
others interested.
It will have another conference
with Martin early in May and will
report to you"

YAQUI INDIAN
CHIEF QUITS

NOGALES, Ariz., April 22.-(P)-
Hard pressed revolutionary forces
today were left without the support
OF Francisco Urbalejo, Yaqui Indian
c~hieftain, and his command, esti-
mated at 600 to 1000 men.
U~rbalejo, who led his warriors into
Sonora from Chihuahua last week,
avowedly to continue fighting for
the rebel cause, appeared in Doug
las, Ariz., yesterday. He proclaimed
he was through with the revolution
and was held in custody of United
States officials. His army had evil
IDENTIFY broken up. Many of his SOL
dierS were seen 80 miles south of
Aqua Prieta, moving toward the
Yaqui reservation.
Fewer rebels were in Nogales,
Sonora, also, some having moved
southwark on troop trains Sunday.
They evidently expected to battle
with advancing federals in southern
Sonora. A contingent of $50 rebels
left Nogales for Sasabe, little bor-
der town where several Of their COM
rades were killed and wounded in a
battle last Friday. A fight doomed
there with the rebels intent upon
retaking the town from the federals.

POLICE FIND

Continued from page one.)
Bassler, jailer, went upstairs in his
tour of duty, he was struck over
the head with a heavy ring Of keys.
The prisoners swarmed from their
cells and he was beaten over the
head with a milk bottle. 1t was
broken on his head.
The prisoners then plunged down
the stairs, out through the kitchen
door and over the high barrier,
Jose Chica stopped long enough in
his dash for liberty to jerk out the
telephone wires. This delayed the
arrival of other officers and may
have prevented the capture of the
fleeing men.

through his chin, while his brother,
Manuel, was hit in the left foot, left
leg and right elbow. Neither was
considered in danger.
Women Rys.e-cai
Shortly after the gun battle broke
out o nthe outskirts Of the brush
near the dance hall, pandemonium
broke loose. Men and women scram-
bled from the exits on the dance
floor and began a spirited dash
down the highway. The town-bound
camionS soon weer loaded to ca
pacity and the highway was lined
with pedestrians.
A alrge number of officers were
rushed to the scene as soon as pos
Sible and an investigation was be-
gun under the direction of Sheriff
Frank Brown. Numerous variations
Of the shooting were told by peo-
pie at the dance.

Valley was present and participated

ed as active pallbearers for the vet
eran officer of the border. Brown
was well known here and at one
time was a candidate for the sher-
ifs office.

HOIDALE HERE
FROM FLORIDA

Methods of cooperating with VAL
ley citrus growers and federal de-
partment of agriculture inspectors
in the cleanup which has become
necessary because of the r~ediScovery
of the Morales fruit fly in this sec
ton will be discussed at a public
meeting to be held at 7:3o p. m.
Tuesday in the city hall at Harlin-
gen.
p. A. Hoidale, chief inspector Of
the plant quarantine control ard
administration project in the Val
lev, returned this morning from
Florida where he has been ENGAGED
in launching a war on the Medi-
terranean fly discovered in Florida
orchards.
1.-The situation in Florida is a
great deal more serious than in the
Valley" Mr.. HoiGale said. The fly
is present in much greater numbe-S,
the Mediterranean pest is harder tC
control than the pest found here
and F1Nida orchards are so nlucn
older ana so muci: closer together
than II the Valley.
"Fere spread of the infeSt atom
can be prevented by guarding two
roads. In Florida it is necessary to
guard as many as IS roads In dif
ferent directions
The Florida infestation covers two
cnvnties and a portion of a third.
Mr.. Hoidale said.
The Harrington meeting was called
by G.. C.. Richardson, manager OF
the Brownsville Chamber of Com
merce and president Of the VAL
ley Secretaries association, following
discovery of the fly in orchards
near Mercedes and Mission.
An embargo has been placed on
all fruit in the Valley at the present
time by the federal department OF
agriculture, and methods Of prevent
ING spread of the fly from this
source also will be discussed.
The department has indicated
that owners of stored fruit will be
REQUIRED to destroy it. They may
be permitted to move it to canning
plants fore processing if close in
spection fails to disclose that it is
infected. This however, is not GER
tain.
All secretaries of chambers Of
commerce will be present and grow
ers have been asked to attend the
meeting. -

LONG TO KEEP
SUPPORT
Louisiana Governor Says
Charges Lot of Two
Bit Stuff

BATON ROUGE, La, April o.
P)-While Governor Huey P. Long
held to his stumping tour today,
seeking to hold the support Of the
rural districts, the Louisiana house
of representatives renewed its in
quiry into impeachment charges
against him.
Governor Long remaiAsS stead
fast in his declaration Il TRY hts
side of the case direct to the peo-
pie, speaking four times yesterday
and facing a series of addresses
this week to continue up to Thurs
day. Yesterday, he told an audi
ence of Lafayette he had learned
from the camp Of the enemy that
IS senators already had pledged
themselves to vote for impeach-
ment.
They've pledged their votes for
impeachment and haven't heard 4
word Of the evidence" the COVER
nor declared. Il don't think they
can buy enough senators to i'm
peach me-" he added, but the
Standard Oil company and the old
ring are mighty strong
The governor termed the i'm
parchment charges as "a lot of
two bit stuff" and declared the
real reason for the proceedings was
because he fought the Standard
Oil company.
"The Standard Oil company
makes so much money they argue
they shouldn't have to pay the
license tax T proposed to collect.
I think that their talk is a good
argument why they should have to
pay the tax" he declared.

MAY AGREE ON
ARMS QUESTION
Ambassador Gibson Saws u,
S. Would Accept French
Naval Plan

GENEVA, April 22.-P)-Hugh S,
Gibson, American delegate to the
preparatory disarmament confer
ence in session here, announced to-
day the United States was disposed
to accept Frances proposal Of limi-
tatlon Of naval tonnage by cate
gories. The offer, he said, was made
IN the hope Of facilitating a general
agreement on naval reduction.
The French proposal is that which
provides for assignment of a total
tonnage to each nation. This ma
ton TO be divided among categories
Of ships by specified tonnages as a
basis of discussion.
MI. Gibson's speech was made in
an atmoSpheer of intense interest.
Il desire to lay emphasis on the
fact" he said. that for US the es-
Sential thing is achievement Of sub
Stantial results. Methods are of
secondary Importance.
MY government is disposed to
give full and friendly consideration
TO any supplementary methods of
limitation which may be calculated
to make u propoSals-the French
thesis or any other-acceptable to
other powers. If such a course ap-
pears desirable my government will
be prepared to give consideration to
a method of estimating equivalent
naval values which will take ac-
count Of other factors than dis
placement tonnage alone.
MI. Gibson asked the conference
to bear in mind recent world
changes, and he pointed out that
most Of the nations had bound
themselves by solemn undertaking
to renounce war as an instrument
of national policy. After making
this allusion to the Kellogg pact, he
said:
I'VE believe this agreement af-
firming humanity'S will to peace
will advance the cause of disarma-
ment By removing doubts and fears
which in past have constituted our
principal obstacle. Recently it has
been my privilege to discuss the gen.
eral problem of disarmament at
considerable length with President
44OOFCl VIII LIDO always OOCAi d1A III
dent advocate of peace and good
understanding.
Il am in a position to realize how
earnestly he feels that the pact fol-
remuneration Of war opens to US un-
precedented opportunity for adj
vancing cause diSarmament-an op-
portunity which admits Of no post
ponement."
Mr.. Gibson expressed his con-
viction that as long as the worlc
approached the problem Of disarm-
ametn upon the basis Of old fear;
and old suspicious there remained
little hope Of results.
IF we are honest, if the solemn
promise Of u pact means anything
there is nc justification for conttn-
uat.on of a war taxed peace.
1--WE are willing to agree TO any
reduction, however, drastic of nava
tonnage which leaves no type o.
war vessel unrestricted" he said.
In closing he declared the United
| States convinced she needs no eXaci
balance of ships and guns which
can be based only on the idea OF
conflict and that whac really was
wanted was a common sense agree
mcnt based on the idea that al
nations are going to be friends ano
settle their problems by peaceful!
means.

COTTON OPENS
DOWN 4 POINTS
July Shows Decline of ia
Points From High Touch
ed at End of March

NEW YORK, April 22.-P)-
! Cotton opened steady at a decline
of 4 to Is points under a renewal
of last weeks selling movement
! stimulated by relatively easy cables
and a favorable view of weather
F; conditions. There was some trade
buying and covering by shorts on
the decline, but selling continued
| active and prices were IA to 1e
points net lower by the end of the
first half hour with May selling at
1875 and December at 1921. In
| July, which sold at 1900, the mar
ket showed q decline of about ia
| points from the high price touched
toward the end of March.
Liquidation continued with prices
, working off to $1,000 for July and
$19.19 for December, or about 10 to
% points below Saturdays close. De-
mand picked up a little at these fig
ures and trading was somewhat less
| active, with the market showing rail-
lies of 5 to 10 points from the lowest
at midday.
NEW ORLEANS, April 22.-(P)-
The cotton market opened easy
cables but mainly on execution of
overnight selling orders due to the
favorable weather.
Initial trades showed losses of 6
to II points, but as New York
| opened steady the market strength
ened and recovered practically all
the early loss. Later, however,
favorable weather induced selling
and towards the end of the first
hour July sold down to 1897; Oc-
tober 1896 and December 1901. or
IS to II points below Saturdays
close.
Trading continued quite active
with July dropping to 1892, Oct.
1898, and Dec. 1888, or 10 to %
points below Saturdays close. Sell
ing was absorbed by good trade buy
ing and in the hour before noon
covering and good buying by ring
traders on the firmer technical po-
sition developed and prices recov-
cred most of the earlier loss. July
advanced to $19.08, Oct. S19.07 and
Dec. $19.14, or IA to 16 points up
from the lows and to within 3 to 6
points fro mthe previous close.
