Health and Right Living

Not long ago I talked with q new
conner to New York. He has lived
for many years in California and
expressed his anxiety to get back
TO the coast. When I inquired why
he came to New York, I was amazed
at his answer: II came for my

New York is such "a busy place,
such a huStling, busting. manufac-
turing, commercial and financial
center. that IL seems strange to re-
gard 1t IA a health resort. But why
not?
As "a matter Of fact the great

CAPTURE ENDS
LONG SEARCH
Ward Hunt, Alleged Slayer
Of Ranger, Arrested
In San Antonio

2 SAN ANTONIO, July 5.-(P(-An
is month man hunt was terminated
today when a squad of heavily
armed police arrested man iden-
titled as Ward Hunt, in the United
States and Mexico in connection
with the Staying of Rip Terrill, re-
tired rancher of Victoria, here in
February, 1923.
The man was placed in the city
iail where he will be held pending
transfer to the county. In addition
to the murder charge, Hunt faced
bond forfeiture proceedings.
Hunt was indicted on charge
of murder by a grand jury in a
district court here in March of
last year. .- He was identified as the
killer, principally by the testimony
of the dead mans widow.
Several attempts to have the fu-
gitive deported from Mexico we're
fruitless.
Acting on an anonymous tip, a
squad of detectives and police,
armed with sawed off shotguns,
surrounded house on North
Flores street and waited for more
than two hours before their vigi-
lance was rewarded by appearance
Of the fugitive.
Terrell, wealthy rancher and
realtor of south Texas, was killed
in house off Broadway. The
widow accepted the blame at first,
but later incrirninated Hunt.

PAN-AM AWAITS
ON SPUR TRACK
New Construction Will Be
Started AS Soon AS
Rail Line Added

New construction at the NUM-
cipal airport is being held up pend
ing construction of spur track to
the site, Geo. L. Rihl, president Of
the Mexican Aviation Co., and Off
cial Of the Pan-American Anyways,
Inc, announced here today.
The field is being operated under
lease from the city by Pan-Ameri-
can and The Mexican Aviation Co.
is a American subsidiary.
Rihl, who is here from Mexico
to decide on the construction to be
undertaken at once, said two large
buildings had been purchased and
would be shipped here as soon as
track is built to the port. The Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad has been ask
ed to extend a spur from its track
on Fourteenth street out to the
port, a distance Of about one and
a half miles.
The two buildings are a shop to
be 100 by 140 feet and an addi-
tional hangar 100 by 140 feet.
The short runway will be length
ened at once, both runways likely
will be widened and they will be
topped as soon as possible, Rihl
said.
An experiment is to be made on
one of the runways by applying q
heavy oil. If this is found unsatis-
factory after a test all topping Will
be done with macadam.
An engineer is to arrive mere our
ing next week and he will decide
on immediate plans. Pan-Ameri-
cans chief engineer will come here
later and make recommendation
for making this a really modern
field.
The chief engineer was to be here
this week but was called to New
York from Miami, Fla, on q busi-
ness trip.
