URGES COOLIDGE
TO RUN FOR SENATE
Boston Paper Asks His Aid
to Party in Old Bay
State.

Calvin Coolidge is called upon in an
editorial published in the Boston Tran
script to come to the aid of the Repub-
lican party in the Old Bay State and
become a candidate for the Senate In
1892.
Dispatches indicate that the former
President is making no comment upon
the editorial in the Transcript, for the
present, at least.
If the former President should per-
nit himself TO be nominated and his
election to the Senate should follow.
he will follow along the same line taken
by another President from MaSsachu-
sets, who. when he left the White
House, entered the National Legisla-
ture as a member of the House
The possibility Of Mr.. Coolidge be-
coming candidate for the Senate has
been discussed from time to time in
the newspapers. The editorial now
published by the Boston Transcript Is
the first definite boom to be launched
for him in the State, however.
The editorial follows:
Coolidge for the Senate in 1880.
THE first-class executive" who is re-
ported i'll dispatches from Northampton
as open for position ought not to
have to look beyond the borders of his
own State. Massachusetts itself needs
Calvin Coolidge. 1t needs him as its
representative in the United States SEN
ate, and it should determine, here and
now, to elevate him to that high post
when the term Of Senator Frederick II.
Gillett expires. in 1890. Mr.. Coolidge
was great President. He would be a
great Senator. With the prestige he en-
joys in every section of the country, and
in fact throughout the world, he would
give the State an influence In the Con-
gress that it has not enjoyed since the
days of Henry Cabot Lodge. The dis
tinguished succession which includes
Sumner would welcome him to its lists
and count him a worthy member.
1.-THE nomination Of Mr.. Coolidge by
the Republican party preSuppoSeS. OF
course, the retirement of Mr.. Gillett in
1890. Able though he was as Congress
man and as presiding officer of the
House, and amiable gentleman though
he is, Mr.. Gillett has made no impress
sion upon the Senate and taken no i'm
portant part in its proceedings. He rare
ly is to be seen in his seat and he al
most never joins in the debate. 1t Is
true that often Senator's most effect

not even this is the fact in the case Of
Mr.. Gillett. Time and again MaSsa-

Washington on errands in connection
with matters pertaining to their rela-
tons with the Government, have had
to turn to Senator Walsh for advice and

kind which Mr. Walsh has 50 willingly
rendered to the people Of the State ac-

cratic success last November.

in the high Panhandle is being
taken seriously by the westerners,
according to legislators and other
representatives here, and is famed
to a new pitch by the acute tri-
angular controversy over land, oil
and water.
1t is a West Texas of two million
people talking now, instead of the
barren plains of 100000 scattered in
habitants Of a few decades ago that
is mulling over the question of sep
arate empire.
"The first thing you know" a de-
voted son of the western country
said here as he sat in the house OF
representatives and talked of Gov.
Dan Moody's veto of the West Texas
land bill, you will wake up and find
the state of West Texas an accom-
plished fact"
Half Of Texas
And it isn't the "out past the be-
yond country" MOI the west Of the
PecoS" regions they are talking
about, the plainsmen will tell you
They may not essay to take in the
present Texas capital in their SeceS-
sion, but they wouldn't miss it far.
They would sweep well into what is
termed Central or South Central
Texas. They would divide the state
equally in area.
The agitation for an effort to Gre
ate a separate western state has
reached points of considerable in
tensity at various times in the past,
due to controversies and growing
pains similar to the present oil
water-land situation. The vast
wealth from the oil and gas pro-
duction Of the territory: and the
rapid increase in population; the
great crops of wheat, the uncounted
millions in mineral wealth such as
potash and nitrates, gold, silver,
zinc and quicksilver, the expanding
areas of invaluable irrigated lands
and the spreading lakes Of i'm
pounded water in which the safety
and the security Of its economic life
is contained, all this gives the West
a new assurance in its dream of SOW
ereignty.
Test Coming
Sooner or later, the West Texans
say, there is sure to come a climax
in the long. disjointed but irrepress-
ible envisioning of a separate state
There will come a time when some
issue like those budding now will
force a real test on the ability Of the
west to quit the rest Of the state.

OF head of the state department.
Conferences with the new cabi-
net officers are to be initiated al
most Immediately by the president
to select successors to the dozen or
more assistant secretaries who have
rendered their designations with the
purpose Of returning to private
business.
Although many of the ambasSa-
doris and ministers have rendered
their designations, the diplomatic
corps is likely to remain in status
quo until the arrival here of MI.
Stimson. Mr. Hoover has a num-
Der Of changes in mind.
Akerson Hoover's Secretary
George AkerSon, assistant to Mr.
Hoover for more than four years,
has taken over the duties Of the
secretary to the president, replac-
ing Everett Sanders, who went out
of officer with President Coolidge.
Lawrence Richey, who has been
with Mr.. Hoover since 1917, has
taken over the other secretaryship
and will have charge of White
House personnel as well as serving
as executive office manager.
While the chief executive had to
postpone the first meeting with his
cabinet pending senate action, it
was announced that he would hold
his first conference with the news
papermen at noon today. He pro-
poses to continue the program of
two such conferences weekly. but it
may be that he will introduce some
radical changes in the method of
conducting them.
His present intention is to start
his working days at 9 a. m, and If
he functions as president anything
like he has in the past it will be
around 6 p. m, before he leaves
his desk. He is an indefatigable
worker and has never set any fixed
hours for himself.
Several hours were set aside to-
day for receiving visiting delega-
tons, including the Hamilton club
Of Chicago; his old school mates
and friends from his West Branch,
Iowa, birthplace, and a delegation
from California, including Off
Gals and residents Of Palo Alto,
which he now counts as his home
town.

RIGID DEMOS
GAIN VANTAGE
Bill Giving Power to Purge
Ranks Is Passed To
Engrossment

AUSTIN, March 5.-P)-Simon-
pure democrats held a post Of van
tage today in regulation Of the par
tvs affairs by passage to engrOSS-
ment last night Of the Wirtz senate
measure giving the executive COM
mittee power to purge democratic
ranks of unfaithful followers.
The bill passed to third reading
by a 73-47 vote, but proponents
lacked sufficient strength to sus-
pend the rules and act finally after
the house chamber had echoed for
more than two hours to the sound
OF party loyalty.
The bloc defeated an amendment
by Representative George Purl Of
Dallas which would have made pro-
visions Of the bill apply to boilers
since 1919, and another by Repre-
sentative B. j. Forbes, Weatherford
minister, which would have pre-
vented the measure from becoming
effective until after the 1880 gen.
eral election.
Pur Opposes Law
Purl commended that no party had
ever succeeded by driving members
from its ranks and asserted that if
persons who deserted the democrat
ic party to cast their ballots for
Herbert Hoover were to be pun
ished, older offenders should be
treated similarly.
Representative Forbes said the
bill was written by a senator las
wet as the Atlantic ocean," and
characterized it as ian attempt to
make a liquor party out of the
democratic organization"
Mrs. Laura Burleson Negley, San
Antonio, launched the series Of floor
speeches which. brought triumph to
hackers of the bill. The daughter
of former Postmaster General A. S.
Burleson unflinchingly faced enc
mics of the bill and maintained the
recent presidential rout was caused
by lack of some one in authority
to regulate the party.
Love Denounced
Representative w. K. Hopkins Of
Gonzales, sponsor of the bill in the
house, scathingly denounced Love
and other "bellWetherS" who led the
revolt in the party.
The senate met with several few
er DlIS on Its nevertheless heavy
calendar as a result Of a long SEES
sion last night.
What was lacking in debate was
expected to be made up today with
the Small land bill set for special
order. Senator G. G. Small of We'll
lington, author of the measure, was
primde for the effort to pass it over
the governors veto, which will re-
quire a two-thirds majority.
A bill by Senator A. j. Writ of
Seguin which its author said would
tighten the blue sky" law was fin
ally passde with little opposition.
The measure was said to have been
recommended by the secretary of
states department. Writ assertde
the public had not been protected
from the sale of worthless securities
under the "blue sky" law enacted by
the 58th legislature. His bill would
re-write the law.

IMPORTS GAIN
800 PER CENT
New High Record Establish
ed By Brownsville Port
During February

Imports from Mexico during Feb
fuary were over 800 per cent in ex-
cess of those of February, 1928, &C
cording to the records of the
brownsville customs office.
Customs receipts for February,
1929, were $12, 74O.34, as compared
with $3,759.22 for February, 1928.
The January, 1929, record, was So
5OO.57, as compared with 81 1888
for the corresponding month last
year.
Exports also show a heavy in
crease, the movement through this
port into Mexico, in straight cars,
totaling q during January. The
straight car movement in January,
1928, was 10. In addition to the
straight cars, large quantities of
merchandise are exported in less
than car lots.
The total receipts of the Browns
vile customs for 1923 were $116,-
428.73; for 1927, 41,029; and for
1926, 3 1,127.27. Receipts for the
first two months of 1929, are nearly
300 per cent greater than for the
corresponding months last year.
Cattle comprise the major part
of duitable imports, large shipments
from the ranches Of northern and
central Tamaulipas passing through
this port consigned to the northern
markets.

House Favor Tax
Remission For Sea
Wall At Pt. Arthur

AUSTIN, March 5.-tPNBy an
81-37 vote the house last night
passed to third reading a bill by
Representative B. E. Quinn Of Beau
mont allowing Port Arthur to keep
eight-ninths Of its advalorem tax
for 20 years in order to construct a
sea wall. The measure probably will
be called up for final vote ltaer in
the week.
Under operation of the bill, the
tate would contribute approximately
$4,000, 900 and the Jefferson county
precinct in which the seacoast town
is located would furnish approx
mately the same amount through a
special tax.
Cost of the protective wall was
estimated at $4,000, 600. Representa-
tive G. H. Jenkins of Brownwood
contende dthe bill was unconstitu-
tional, but Rep. w. E. Pope of Cor
puS Christi replied that similar walls
had been built at Port Arkansas and
Corpus Christi by remission of
taxes over a given period.

Killing of Wealthy
Mans Housekeeper
At Miami Mystery

MIAMI, Fla, March 5.-P)-Mys-
terry today surrounded the killing in
a hotel here Sunday of Mrs. Nora
Wilson, 40, whose body was found
with a bullet through her head.
The first theory advanced by po-
lice, which still was their strongest
belief, was that the woman, a for
mel housekeeper for Guy LOOMS,
wealthy New York winter visitor,
had taken her own life. Officials,
investigating the case however, now
have disclosed that the fatal wound
bore no powder burns and some
were inclined to believe she died by
a hand other than her own.
In the meantime, LOOMS, who was
being sued for $25, 900 by Mrs. Will
son for alleged back salary for her
services as housekeeper. disappeared
on his private yacht, but later re-
turned and reported to police he
had left to avoid publicity.

old grievances for ammunition in its
fight when the fight comes.
West Texas paid $780, OO, 900 for
building of the state capitol in Aus
tin, they will tell you. That is, the
state gave 5000, 900 acres OF Western
Texas land, then valued at 81 an
acre, for the capitol. That land is
worth $50 an acre now, they insist.
Another claim is that railroads
were given enormous grants of West
Texas land that was long held in
great blocks, retarding farming, de-
velopment and settlement.
Old Grievances
Then the University of Texas and
public school funds own other hun
dreds of thousands of acres, all in
West Texas. This, the section and
the counties claim. prevents their
taxing the land, and of the building
Of a thicklv-settled farming country
that would create new taxable
values.
Already West Texas has forced a
measure to permit the counties to
tax the lands owned by other coun-
ty school funds. There now is
pending an attempted measure to
permit the counties to tax uniyer-
sitv-oWned lands.
West Texas has the oil. Soon it
will develop vast potash-production
industries. 1t has the wheat land.
1t is gaining rapidly in cotton. 1t
has the irrigated acreage of the
state. 1t is looking ahead to claim
ing the water from streams to irri-
gate all its lands. The formative
