Interrupted in Criticism.

The Indiana Senator was interrupted
in his criticism of Mr.. Sterling when
he asked why the former Senator was
chosen as counsel for the committee.
why shouldn't he have been chos-
en?" asked Senator Pittman, Democrat,
Nevada.
For one reason" replied Robinson,
che was in favor of the leasing act
and was, / understand, the rather oil
several of the amendments which have
been under attack"
where did you get that informa-
tion?" inquired Pittman.
IT think the record shows it," re-
sponded Robinson.
Pittman then expressed establishment
that the integrity of Sterling should be
questioned and said he didn't believe
any one would concur with Robinson Ill
that.

gage. The records that smuggling
of diamonds have increased ire
mendously in the last few years,
until it now is a more flourishing
trade than ever before. Detection
of the smugglers, professional as
well as amateur, has been difficult
because Of the ease of concealing
the stones.
George S. Messersmith, American
consul at Antwerp, which is one of
the great diamond markets of the
world, has advised the house ways
and means committee that large
scale smuggling would become I'M
profitable If the duty were reduced
to 10 per cent on cut stones and the
uncut placed on the free list. Since
1918 the rates have been 20 and 10
per cent, respectively.
MesserSmith testified small deal
ers no longer invoice goods through
his consulate and that so per cent of
the stones sold in this country never
go through a customs house. Dia-
mond bootleggers, he said, buy as
much as 100000 worth in Europe
and smuggle every cents worth past

the customs. The business has be-
come so good that an organized
syndicate in Antwerp guarantees to
carry the contrabrand to the United
States for 6 to per cent Of the
savings. 1t even furnishes bonds as
guarantee for safe delivery.
The margin in favor of the Illicit
dealer under the existing duty is
about IL per cent, according to
Messersmith. 1t consists of the saw
ing on tariff payment, less the cost
of carriage. The reduction to 10
per cent, it is believed, will wipe out
this margin and make smuggling
improbable.

FARM COURSE
IN SCHOOLS is
RECOMMENDED
Tutoring in Agriculture Is
Advised by State
Head.

Courses in agriculture as a part
of the regular curriculum in high
schools in rural communities is the
recommendation of Roy P. Wise
hart. state superintendent of public
instruction.
IF rural schools. especially high
schools, would have courses In agr1-
culture and domestic science 1t
would make the schools more valu-
able TO the parents who are anxious
to Withdraw their children after
completion Of the eighth grade,
Wisehart said.
The matter was brought forc1bly
20 his attention when he visited La
Grange county last week and a dele
cation from the Amish churches de-
sired his influence in obtaining per
mission to Withdraw their children
from school upon completion of the
eighth grade even though the chill
dren we're under Is.
The courses in the ninth and
tenth grades should be made so
practical that the parents should not
desire their children to miss them"
he said.
Wisehart also suggested a course
in German in the schools attended
by Amish children so as to train the
youth to read the German Bible.
AmiSh leaders gave approval to
this plan.
Other communities also have been
confronted with the problem of
withdrawal Of children under 10. be-
cause no practical work is taught
and the teaching of agriculture
would help alleviate the situation"
Wisehart said.
A delegation Of the Anish sect
visited the 1929 Legislature in behalf
Of a bill which would permit the
withdrawal of their children upon
the completion of the eighth grade.
The measure failed.

New Schedule To Give Up
Valley Points Fast
Aerial Service

Effective April Is the Valley mail
star route will begin operation on
a schedule that will enable 1t to
connect with northbound mail plane
out of here at LIS p. m. and with
the inbound mail plane from Mex
leo City AT Il :S5 p. m. This fnfcr-
nation was contained in a letter
to Postmaster G.. w. bennett from
S. M. Gaines, superintendent of rail-
road mail service with offices at
Fort Worth. The letter stated the
new schedule would be inaugurated
April Is if not countermanded be-
fore that date.
The star route will begin its trip
down the Valley from Edinburg at
8:45 a. m, one hour and Is min
uteS ahead of its present schedule
on down the Valley, arriving in
not later than 1915 p
m. This will enable up-Valley mail
to board the northbound airmail
plane out at 1:25 p. m. Under the
old schedule the mail arrived at
1870 p. m. and could not be placed
on the mail plane.
The star route will then remain
here long enough to obtain mail
from the plane from Mexico City
which arrives at 1885 p. m. The
departure is set at not later than
3 p. m. This will enable up Valley
points to get any mail out of Mex
leo without delay.
The new schedule was worked out
at a conference held between Gaines
and bennett here last Saturday.

G. Richardson, manager of the To-
cal chamber, and j. E. Bell, man
ager of the San Benito chamber

the development shown in this sec
ton. They were being shown places
Of interest Friday.
Karl Lehman, manager of the
Orange county (Orlando, Fla
chamber of commerce, also was in
Brownsville. He was accompanied
by his wife and made the trip from
the Dallas convention by rail.
Richardson stated that the Valley
was well advertised at the conven-
ton, due IN part to the election
of Bell as president Of the organ
iZation. This is the second time in
three years that the Valley has held
the presidency of the executives
body. Richardson was president two
years ago. Richardson also has been
vice president and director in
the organization.
Attention of the convention also
was focused on Brownsville by
Gardner S. Rogers, city planning
expert. In outlining city planning
in general, Rodgers stated that air.
ports are rapidly being included into
the general scheme. In this con-
nection he told Of Brownsville
which he regarded as one Of the
outstanding examples Of progress
along this line. Rodgers told of
the qualifications of the local air
port as an international port Of en-
try.
In addition to the executives as
sociation, the Southern Secretaries

one of the men suggested they
settle it in the street"
Residents of the district heard
three shots fired and saw tn gun
man bending over Teter'S body on
the sidewalk. He fired two more
shots into the body, and then
chased Remington, who fled down
an alley. One more shot was
fired. Remington's body was found
on nearby street.
The slayer returned to his parked
automobile, wiped his pistol care
fully, placed it in the seat beside
him, and drove slowly away.

ALMAZAN'S WARINESS
CREDITED WITH WIN

MEXICO CITY, April 12.-(P)-
Rbel General Federico Barrera, ar

to await courtmartial, expressed the
opinion today that only the war
mess Of General Andreu Almazan
saved the federal army from ami
hilation at Jiminez last week.
General Barrera said the rebel
chief, Jose Gonzalo EScobar, had
strongly entrenched himself there,
so camouflaging his earthworks
they appeared from the air as corn
fields. Had General Almazan given
direct attack, as was anticipated,
thousands of his men probably
would have been killed.
Instead, flank movements made
the rebel Notifications worthless
except at one place, the railroad
station. There an attacking con-
tingent was almost wiped out.
