.Byeck'W Walker, Who
Vas Mule Skinner,
Dies millionaire

FORT WORTH, Tex, Jan. 1T.-tR
-"Breek" Walker, born q poor boy
and qualified as a freighter mule
skinner with a salary Of so cents
a day, was to be buried today as a
multi-millionaire generalissimo IN
the oil development Of a section OF
lusty west Texas.
Breckenridge Stephens Walker,
who died at his home here yester-
day at 80, took his first name from
a village he helped boost IN two
years from a sleepy stoekmen's ham
let Of 1000 to a humming oil town
with 10000 residents. His second
name came from the ounty in which
IS situated, and IN which other oil
towns roared forth, with Main street
waist deep in mud and tent cots
costly as a top notch hotel room IN
more placid regions.
After his oil success, Walker, as
chief stockholder Of the First Ma
tional Bank at Breckenridge, during
a shaky time for banks, announced,
when two rival institutions closed.
that he would loan to patrons
whose deposits totaled $50 or less
the full amount Of their accounts.
Built, Supported City
He made a big church in Brecken-
ridge possible. brought in railroads,
donated land for a high school and
helped finance a Y. VI. G. A. During
a lean season for one of his banks,
his hand went into his pocket and
came out with 100000 to solidify
the establishment.
Once, lack Of water handicapped

his town. With an associate, he
established a 100000 Raterworks
and carried it on for several years.
"Breck" and c. NJ. Caldwell in 1911
formed a partnership that later be-
came the ace in oil production. When
the boom came, they were ready,
owning thousands Of acres Of the
rocky land and holding leases on
thousands of others.
Pneumonia Fatal
Pneumonia, after a paralytie
stroke, killed him. He removed here
several years ago but maintained in
Breckenridge a home as ample as
that he owned here.
Funeral services will find the city
or Breckenridge represented prob
ably BY several hundred friends Of
Walker. A large truck loaded with
floral decorations left Breckenridge
last night for Fort Worth.
Walker moved to Fort Worth be-
fore much oil had been found in the
county. He invested q good part
Of his surplus cash. When the oil
development began in 1917 he owned
leases throughout the country and
owned $500 acres in fee next to
Breckenridge. Overnight he be-
came enormously wealthy
Through the boom times Walker
guided destinies Of his business, and
banking took most of his attention.
He was largely responsible for the
three rail lines that went to Brock
enridge.

FISHING BILL
GIVEN PRAISE
AT GALVESTON
Holbrook Act Seeking
To Stop SEEMING Is
Supported By Izaak
Walton League


GALVESTON, Jan. 1.-THE
greatest measure ever offered for
the protection and rehabilitation Of
Gulf Coast fisheries"
This was the gist OF comments by
officials and members of the lzaak
Walton league IN Galveston on the
by Senator 7. j. Holbrook TO pro-
hibit SEEMING, netting or traw!ing for
fish in the back bays Of the Texas
coast. The bill is favored by the
state game, fish and oyster depart
mentand is expected TO receive the
active support Of South Texas fish
ermen, who for several years have
eyinced concern over the rapid de-
pletion OF food fish along the coast.
Men who have made a close study
81 the situation express the opinion
that IL Senator Holbr0ok's bill be-
comes law. il will be only q few years
until choice fish. such as the gulf
trout and red fish, become as album
dant as they were when this section
was first settled.
It was pointed out that the great
est injury 70 coastal fishing grounds
from SEEMING and netting does not
come from the number Of adult fish
taken in that way. In some locali-
ties seining has actually become less
productive than pole and disturbance
OF spawning beds. The destruction
OF spawns and young fish and the
frightening Of adult fish into the
deeper waters Of the gulf is the real
damage.
The effect of this disturbance in
the spawning ground is also observ-
ed to n marked extent in the lessened
number OF fish taken in the gulf
itself.
While some opposition TO the bill
is anticipated from commercial fish
who use nets and %seines. Izaak
Walton league officials c~ontended
that rhe closing Of the back BAYS
would soon make IL possible TO take
more fish with pole and line than
are Ia zen in nets. Improved fishing
conditions in bays. passes and bayous
along the coast which already have
been closed by act of the legislature

that if the French government would express to America it's de sired to expend. not merely a few beggarly millions of francs, but certain number Of billions, to pro- tect the French race and effectively combat the -ayagos of tuberculosis and other infectious diseases, II would receive the assistance not only of the American government but also Of many wealthy Ameri- cans.
 American statesmen and great part of the American people would be perfectly willing to devote a portion of the sums owed to the United States by France to such purpose.
 NJ. Giraudoux is one of the few Europeans who believes firmly in what he calls "Americas cultural mission" and he scoffs at the con flict between Europe and America" which he charges is the theme adopted by many European writers and thinkers.
 ''Why oppose Europe to Amcri- -" he asks, America is inhabit- cd by Europeans. There Is nothing that distinguishes them from the point of view Of race, nature, in- tellect or morals from Europeans, except the atmosphere in which they live and the standards of life nov bot.n Ia-n1ora5
 Americans are Europeans who thanks to the freedom of action which the wealth and youth of their country have given them. re- gard as goal easily and quickly attainable what all the statesmen and philosophers of Europe former ly considered a distant ideal. In fact, they form young European people which has attained tho final goal that Europe set herself, which | is to say, the universal welfare of individuals, happiness spread over the country in the same degree and 1 with the same energy and compul- sion as public education.

They are, in facc, everything that every young and rich European peo- pie has been in history, for instance the Venetians, the Lombards, the Dutch and the British"
 NJ. Giraudoux does not see the danger Of American capital and American standardization in Eu- rope.
 No Menace to Europe
 Tt seems nonSensiCal to me-" he says, to say that country like France or Germany risks losing Ii part Of it's independence because II has had recourse to American capi tai.
 The Americans, having for their goal individual happiness, natural ly seek the quickest means of real izing it. Education in America has evidently been standardized, but, after all, various moral and intel leCtual conceptions are growing up in different parts of the United States. The vigor Of the, American | theatcr and of American poetry in dicates that America is moving to- wards unity in intellectual life, and American standardization repre- sents no menace to Europe"

 Paris, Oct. 11.-Adyising his own people to look upon America as d friend, M Jean Giraudoux, famous author, even goes so far as 10 de- clare that American can save France and help her to overcome her gray est problem by assisting her to combat her heavy mortality. He says this threatens to place her in the future at the mercy of aggres- sors with a larger population.
 It is all q question of hygiene. adds M. Giraudoux, and in this he thinks that the United States would be only too glad 10 come to the aid of France.
 Points to Death Rate
 NJ. Giraudoux, author Of "Sieg fried" "Le Lirnousin" and other books, is one Of the foremost Of younger French writers. He has travcled widely in America and has made a deep study of the life and mentality of Americans.
 Among all the countries of Eu- rope France has the greatest nor tality,' he pointed out, While ? her natality is superior 10 that Of Great Britain and Of the Scandj navian countries, and almost equals that Of Germany, she registers about one-third more deaths. This heavy mortality is not caused by the climate. which is one of the best in Europe, but by the defi- ciency Of hygiene.
 "The problem of hygiene, which is also q most important financial problem, because every Frenchman , whose life is saved is potential taxpayer, has not received suffi- ciently serious consideration in France. There can be no doubt
