 Caracas, Venezuela, June Il R- The Venezuelan filibusters, who kid . mapped the governor of Curacao Saturday night and footed the police arsenal, attacked the town of Coro, capital of the state of Falcon. on Sunday, but were defeated after several hours fighting.
 Details of the unsuccessful at- tack. as made public in Fl Nuevo Diario, government newspaper, re- vealed that General Gomez, former president, and now commander-in- chief of the Venezuelan army, had warned the garrison at Coro of the impending assault.
 Many FYlibusters Killed
 The garrison, aided by the civilian population. were ready for the in- vaders and drove them off, the hIi- busters leaving dead. wounded and prisoners.

 The account published today stst- ed that the filibusters debarked from the steamship Maracaibo, which they had seized Saturday night in the harbor of Willemstad. at Fela De Coro, the harbor portion of the town. Apparently they believed that they would be able to surprise 1t.
 Town Ready FOr Attack
 General Gomez. however. had al- ready telegraphed orders from his home at Maracay to the Coro gar rison. Consequently defenses had been prepared and the town made ready for the attack. General Lacle coordinating the work of the mi1i- tary and civilian authorities.

CAPITOL

The most convincing and unusual
portrayal of the colorful life on
board the floating theaters of the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers is con-
tanned in UniverSal'S million-dol-
lar super production Show Boat"
which is now showing at the Capt.
tol theater.
The theater was filled with sHuth-
ern melodies and negro spiritualS,
the latter having an important part
in the story Of SHOW Boat" and
proving a moving musical there
for the great production. Included
we're many songs specially written
for Ziegfeld's stage production
Show Boat" by Jerome Kern arc
which are enjoying wide popularity
at the present time on records, over
radio and in dancing places.
SHOW Boat" is a talking picture
adaptation Of Edna Ferber's pest
selling novel of the same name
and concerns the romance of Mag
nolia Hawks, the Show Boat star,
and Gaylord Ravenal, the MisSis-
Sipi river gambler who turns actor.
These roles are played by Laura
La Plante and Joseph Schildkraut.
Both give tremendously realistic
~portrayalS.
Otis Harlan, as Captain Andy

ing Characterization. Little Jane
La Verne who plays Magnolia as a
child, is an altogether charming lit
tie trouper.
Alma Ruben as Julie, the actress,
who becomes the notorious Hetty

TOMATO FALL
CROP LARGEST
Planting Continues Despite
Attacks Of Insects on
Growth
Especial to The Herald)

SAN BENIT0, July 23.-The VAL
ley's first la~r5e-lcale experiment In
planting tomatoes during June for
fall production has turned out
rather a failure, according to grow
ers and shippers here.
tt, ants, the leather, and some
other kinds of insects have COM
bined to make a failure Of most OF
the crops planted curing June.
Spurred on by prospects OF a high
price, and no competition from
Mexico because Of tie tariff, Val
ley farmers are proceeding to plant
more tomatoes this month, and the
section still will have by far the
largest faIl crop in its history.
A considerable acreage of toma-
toes, particularly in the San Be-
nito territory, was planted in June.
Several shippers who had expert
mented with the planting OF toma-
toes in the last urged that the
planting be done in June instead
Of July.
Hot weather and ants were the
principal factors in the destruc-
ton of younC plants, according 10
shippers here.
