PERSHINC MAY
BE AMBASSADOR
Political Circles Believe He
VIII Succeed Herrick
At Paris

WASHINGTON, April 6.-(P)-
Possibility that Gen. John j. Perish
ing may become the next ambaSSa-
dor TO France has been injected into
the unofficial speculation which al
ways thrives in Washington when
an appointment of such Importance
is pending.
His name has been added mys-
teriously to the list of distinguished
public men already mentioned for
the post, which includes such fig
ureS as Frank B. Kellogg, until re-
Gently secreary Of state; Dwight F..
Davis, former secretary Of war. and
Henry p. Fletcher, ambassador at
Rome.
The point emphasized in the dis
cuSSion Of General Pershing is that,
as World war hero of both Amer
lea and France, he occupies a posi-
ton in the affections of the two
peoples similar to that Of the late
Ambassador Myron T. Herrick.

Votes were being cast slowly Sat-
urday morning in the schooi board
of trustee elections being held over
the Valley reports at noon indicat-
ed. In most instances. however, it
was believed by the election man
ayers that the vote would become
heavier during the noon hour and
in the afternoon.
A large number Of the boards are
being returned without opposition
and few of the elections involve
more than trustee elections. This
was not the case in the Browns
vile district, however, as a SIS, 600
bond issue for new structures was
before the voters.
Twenty-Five districts were holding
elections in Cameron county and
in addition a county board was be-
ing selected. The county body Of
Lee r. Vance, j. A. Hockaday,
Francis M. Davis, l.. M. VignesS,
and A. l.. Brooks, is being returned
without opposition.
The Brownsville district also is
returning HARRIET Davenport, Ike A.

that the vote would not go over 100.
Only 25 ballots had been cast at
midday.

Several of the Is passengers re-
ceived minor cuts from flying glass,
but did not go to hospitals here for
treatment.
The train was running about so
miles an hour when the explosion
occurred and did not stop. Special
Officer Rooney of the Santa Fe
said he believed a small bottle Of
nitro glycerine might have been
left in the lavatory, and a jolt could
have ca ned it to hit the floor and
explode.
The steel construction of the
coach was said to have kept it from
being blown from the rails and lo
have averted a train wreck. The
coach was from Kansas City, and
was replaced here.
A Mexican, en- route from Kan
sas City to Laredo, on his way
home after taking load of cattle
to Kansas City, was questioned.
but absolved Of any connection
with the blast and released.

WHICH BIT SEVEN

CHICAGO, April 6.-(P)-The
little red squirrel that got mad

Judge Herbert Immenhausen

been a miscarriage of Justice.
The judge issued a warrant
charging the squirrel with may

Patrolman Oscar Hansen, how

AN attack by Senator Brookhart

the following language is used in
describing him: There is little in

Brookhart runs heavily to simpli-
