Widely Known Bandit
Of Mexican Highway
Is Reported Captured

MEXICO CITY. July 10.-P)-
Martin Guzman, who for years ter
rorized travellers on the road from
Mexico City to Puebla as head Of a
band of highwaymen, has met death
while trying to escape after falling
into the hands Of a detachment OF
federal troops, according to a wal
department announcement.
Guzman was captured alone, In
a village not far from Puebla, and
offered to take his captors to the
place where his followers were hid
den. Accordingly, he led them to a
lonely spot in the mountains and
into an ambush.
Taking advantage Of the confu-
sion into which the unexpected at
tack had thrown his captors, Guz-
man lied and joined his men. But
the federals rallied and after a fight
lasting more than an hour succeeded
in dispensing the bandits.
Among several bodies abandoned
by the highwaymen was that OF
Guzman, their leader.

FLY NOT MENACE
IN NORTHUMBERLAND

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 10
Apple and peach growers in Him
DIS, Idaho and other states of sim
liar latitude need have nc fear of
Mediterranean fly infestation, ac-
cording to DR.. @. l.. Marlatt, chief
of plant control, United States de-
partment of agriculture.
In response to an inquiry Mar
1att replied in effect:
you are advised that the nor
NAL climate of these states would
seem to preclude this pest from
maintaining any foothold in these
states. This is based on the rec
ords in Europe where it has had
an opportunity with little check or
hindrance to demonstrate its range,
as influenced by climate, now over
a period Of nearly 100 years. The
fartheSt northern point in Europe
which has ever been reached by
the fruit fly was in 1900 in the
neighborhood of Paris in a planting
OF apricotS and the fly persisted
here only for one Summer-fau sea-
son and has never since been re-
ported in any similar latitude. This
temporary i~nfeStation must have
been occasioned by the bringing of
infested fruit from Spain or the
Riviera or other Mediterranean
sections invaded by the fruit fly,
but it would seem to be clear that
the fly is unable to survive the
winter climate of that section of
France.

Millions of Families Depend
on Dr.. Caldwell's Prescription

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine, back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative were not as
great as they are today. People
lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty of
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic phys
les and purges for the relief Of con-
stipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human be-
lngs to put into their system. So
he wrote a prescription for a laxa-
tive to be used by his. patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such a mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling LIQUID
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions of bottles are used a year
proves that it has won the confidence
of people who needed it to get re-
lief from headaches, biliousness,
flatulence, Indigestion, loss of appe-.
tite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia,
colds and fevers.
Millions of families are now never
without DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
Ein, and if you will once start using
it you will also always have a bot
tie handy for emergencies.

FLY v
TO CANNING PLANTS

TARPON SPRINGS, Fla, July 5.
Ground was broken Monday
morning for the new canning fac
tory which is to be built by Tug
man & Wiseman, Inc, for the bus
mess Of saving grapefruit, grape
fruit juice, orange extracts and
other fruit juices. The building
will measure 96x160 feet and will
be equipped with modern extract
ing machinery and special ma
chimes for extracting grapefruit
hearts for canning for the Euro
pean business which is being rapid
ly- developed at Tampa. Frank
Burkhart, manager Of the company
was connected with the Everglades
canning plant which Barron G.
Collier erected last year, near
CleWiSton.
The fruit fly pest and the prob
able loss of something like three
million boxes of citrus fruits that
are growing in number one quar-
antine zones has given great i'm
petus to the comparatively new
commercial proposition of canning
the waste. The Tugman g. Wise
man Co. expect to have several
other plants operating in various
parts of the quarantine zone by

FLORIDACROWS
BERRIES, CUKES
Modification Of Quarantine
Rules Permits Plant.
ing New Crops

WINTER GARDEN, Fla, July 10.
Planters Ire speeding UP their
programs for winter crops follow
ing the announcement from Wash
ington that cucumbers and straw
berries may be planted in No. l and
No. 2 quarantine zones. The modi-
fication of strawberries was made
direct from the office of Commits
sioner Marlatt early this week.
The modification as affecting Gu
cumbers was announced later. In
both instances the removal of the
two from the banned list will be
officially dealt with in the next re-
vision Of the quarantine laws early
in July.
The removal of cucumbers from
the list of host plants has been an
ticipated for some time by the
trucking interests of central Flor
ida. The new ruling will cause GU
cumber and strawberry paintings
in this area to be increased by
hundreds Of acres.
Strawberry growers are already
active with plant beds and tele-
graph orders have been sent out
recently for 100000 additional
plants. These will be sent out at
once and within a month or two
the runner plants will be trans
planted for winter crops. Conserv-
ative estimates place the coming
berry paintings at around 300
acres, as against 100 for the past
season.
The cucumber area will pass the
1000 acre mark. The past seasons
crop was around 800 acres, but rust
and Mediterranean fly we're re-
sponsible for a heavy crop loss and
incidentally thousands of dollars.
The plant board also announces
that tests which entomologists
have made on potatoes, hot pep
pers and grapes, have proven them
all hosts to the fly. They will
therefore not be allowed to grow
within No. /, 2 and 3 zones for in
terState shipment. In the case of
tomatoes, 10 larvae were found in
one fruit which had gone through
the cage test.

SCHOOL BILL
BEFORE HOUSE
Senate Working At Fast
Clip Passes Four
Measures

AUSTIN, July 10.-R-Consider-
alton by the senate Of the depart
mental bill and by the house, of the
senate measure providing for sup
port Of state schools during 1930-31,
were on the legislative program to-
Gay.
Working at an almost unprece-
dented clip, the senate yesterday
passed finally its rural aid, judici-
airy, educational and eleemosynary
measures, leaving only the depart
mental bill and minor money meas
ures for its membership to tackle.
Total amount of the bills represent
ed about $37, 100000.
Having failed TO make a material
slash on any OF the bills except the
$500,000 decrease for rural aid, there
was a strong indication the pruning
hook would be applied to the de-
partmental appropriations. Law
makers feel that by cutting travel
ing expenses of state officers to the
bone and possibly thinning the ranks
of workers at the capitol, they may
be able to bring the bills to within
the possible revenue.
A warm house fight on the educa-
tional bill was anticipated. New
buildings costing approximately
S950.000 remained in the senate
measure, which the house will con-
slider, despite an attempt by Senator
w. d. McFarlane, Of Graham, to
eliminate the items. A similar ges-
ture was expected on the house
floor.

WILLYS LINED
FOR TURK POST
Automobile Manufacturer
Rumored To Be Choice
For Ambassador

WASHINGTON, July 10.-(P-
The post of Ambassador to Turkey,
where the market for American
automobiles is complicated by severe
italian competition, is expected by
a number of Washington observers
to be offered to John N. WHY'S, vet
eran Ohio automobile manufacturer.
Contrary to the report circulated
in Wall Street after it was learned
WHY'S was disposing of his indus
trial holdings that he was being
considered for appointment to the
diplomatic post at Paris, made va
cant by the death Of another Ohio
an, Myron T. Herrick, the White
House has disclosed the president
has another assignment in mind for
the manufacturer.
What that assignment might be
was not made known, but the pres
ident's choice Is Senator Edge OF
New Jersey. Furthermore, an offer
Of the Turkish post to WHY'S is re-
garded as fitting not only into the
competitive trade situation there
but into the impression here that
Joseph G. Crew, the present ambas-
sador. is to be transferred to a Latin
American capital.
