HARLINGEN, July PAY for
picking cotton was increased to 81
per hundred pounds and a call for
1000 to 1000 cotton pickers was sent
out at a meeting Monday morning
of the Cameron County Farmers
executive committee.
Members of the committee report
ed that pickers were refusing to ac-
cept rs cents per hundred while
Hidalgo and Willacy county farm
erS were offering 81.
They said the increase in price
would improve the situation to some
extent, as many who had been re-
fuSing to work would go into the
fields. but they said 1000 or more
additional workers were seriously
needed.
Cotton is opening rapidly over the
section, members Of the committee
reported and picking will be near
ing the peak in another week or ten
days, they said.

Row to
Be Aired In Public
Harlingen Meeting
Especial to The Herald.)


HARLINGEN, July differ
ences in plans and opinions Of the
five candidates for places on the
Arroyo Colorado Navigation district
board Of commissioners will be aired
at a public mass meeting here
Tuesday night, the melting having
been called by j. G. Myrick, hacker
of the present commissioners.
Myrick has been a leader in the
opposition to proposed changes in
plans for development Of the pro-
jected waterway.
Two distinct plans divide the fac
tions in the election. One Is seek
ing to dredge the Arroyo Colorado,
and cut a channel through to the
Gulf of Mexico for a deep water
project. The other is seeking par
tial r complete abandonment Of this
plan. and joining the intracoastal
canal project, seeking to make the
Arroyo Colorado an extension of it.
j. B. Chambers, ST., chairman OF
the district now, and candidate to
succeed himself, stated recently that
in his opinion the two new candi-
dates in the field, H. j. Goetzke and
c.. G. Howell, represent the Interests
which are seeking to change to the
canal project.
MI. Goetzke when questioned
about the matter declined to make
a comment. He Said that he and
his supporters would decide upon
the best manner in which to gel
their views before the people and
follow that. I'VE don't care to in
dulge in any newspaper contro-
versy," he said.
All five of the candidates, includ-
ing Tyre H. Brown and j. r. George,
the latter of iRo Hondo, have been
asked to be present at the mass
melting Tuesday night, at the mu-
nicipal auditorium, and express their
opinions and give their stands.

Dorothy Stokely, pretty daughter
Of MIR. and Mrs. H. l.. Stokely, of
Brownsville, will be queen of the
Fourth of July pageant in Browns
vile, unless plans are changed at
the last minute.
This was revealed Monday, three
days before the committee was pre-
pared to officially announce the
name of the young lady who is TO
wear the crown at the water fiesta
in Fort Brown.
Miss Stokely, held to secrecy by
the members of the committee, de-
clined to discuss her elevation TO the
reigning position of the celebration.
At the same time it was revealed
that the selection of a comparative
newcomer has been the occasion OF
a small-sized social breach, many
"old-timers'' having felt sighted.
Miss Stokely has lived in Browns
vile for the past three years, having
come here from Des Moines, Iowa.
She has not attended school in
Brownsville but has been a student
at Our Lady of the Lake in San An

FALL OF JAP
CABINET SEEN
Tanaka Resignation to Bring
About Reorgani-
cation

TOKYO, July 1-(P-The Japa-
nese government will fall probably
tomorrow with resignation of Pre-
mier Baron Tanaka and his cabinet.
The action was decided upon today
at an urgently summoned cabinet
meeting after a crisis precipitated
by handling of the Kellogg anti
war pact. and the investigation of
the assassination Of Marshal Chang
Tso-Lin at Mukden last year.
1t was believed Yugo Hamaguchi,
leader of hte Minseito, or oppoSi-
ton, liberal party, and home minis
ter in the 1926 government, would
be requested by Emperor Hirohito
to form a cabinet with Baron Kiju-
70 Shidehara-Japanese ambassa-
dor at Washington in 1922-as for
eign minister. Admiral Hyo Taxa
rabe was expected to be minister of
navy.
The crisis Is the outgrowth of the
assassination of Marshal Chang Tso
Lin, defeated northern China war
lord, last year at Mukden while in
territory owe which Japan acted
as protector. Investigation Of the
assassination absolved japanese
military officers Of blame, it was
understood, but punishment was in
sisted upon for certain officers for
failure to notify the home office Of
withdrawal of their supervision on
the night of Chang's arrival.
Another contributory factor was
the handling Of ratification Of the
Kellogg anti-war pact, its friends
claiming it was bungled by allowing
SO much opposition to materialize
This opposition principally was cen
tered about the phrase sin the
names of their respective peoples
which it was claimed violated the
prerogatives of the emperor.

Attorney Generals Ruling
Says Cameron County
Has Right to Build

Cameron county can build a
bridge from the mainland to Bra
EOS Island at Boca Chica and can
construct a public road through
lands leased by the state to W. R.
Swami of Corpus Christi.
This is the opinion of the attor-
ney general, rendered by D. L.
Whitehurst, on request to the de-
partment by County Judge Q. G.

The 216-acre tract on Brazos
Island, which Is the property OF the

game, fish and oyster commission
on May % for a term of 10 years.
This lease was signed by Chief
Deputy Beal Jester of the commits
sion during the absence of VIM. j.
Tucker, the commissioner.
Special Privileges
The lease was secured for Swami
by Milton West, local attorney. and
the rental was fixed at so cents per
acre per year. The lease applies
only to hunting, fishing and bath
ing privileges, Tucker says in a let
ter to Judge Dancy.
County authorities had planned
to attempt to secure a lease on the
state property and to throw it open
to the public for a bathing resort.
Judge Dancy had written to Com
missioner Tucker requesting a
hearing before the lease was signed.
The letter was on fuckers desk at
the time the contract was made.
Whitehurst ruled:
