18 SAVED FROM
STEAMER

LONDON, July 9.-tP)-With res
cue of Is survivors Of the Swedish
steamer Bottle, wrecked near Var
mouth on a sand bank Saturday
night, an explanation has been Of
fered of a mysterious north sea ex-
plosion which led to fear of a ma
jor sea disaster.
A Dutch steamer took the officers
and crew of the Botte off when it
was seen she would founder. Later
the steamer Arneberg in the same
locality wirelessed Lloyd's here an
unidentified ship had sunk nearby
after ar explosion.
Captain Borreson of the Botte
after examining the Arneberg's
reckonings said he was convinced
the explosion was due to the Bottles
matches blowing off when the tide
came up and it slipped off the sand
bank into deep water, long after the
crew had been taken off her.
The crew of the Botte we're landed
at Hull today.

CURIOUS SEEKING
y y
NEW CURRENCY
* y X
FOR SOUVE MRS

WASHINGTON, July 9.-P-
The myriad ranks Of money
seekers tomorrow will become, at
the same time, curiosity seekers.
For with the opening Of banks
for business the nationwide
scramble viii begin to acquire
some of the new currency which,
within a few months, will re-
place the long familiar. much
larger paper money now in cir
culation.
The curiosity demand" for the
new currency, one third smaller
than the old, is expected to keep
up for several weeks. With about
1900, 900 pieces already print
ed, the treasury is prepared to
meet that demand, but only to a
limited extent because of the big
problem of distribution and the
necessity Of avoiding waste by
keeping the old currency in use
as long as it is fit for exchange.
This change in currency, to be
completed in about a year. is the
first undertaken by the govern
ment since 1861, and is expected
to reduce the cost Of materials,
printing, storage and distribution
about 81, 500 900 a year.

HALL WARNS
AUTO DRIVERS
Strict Enforcement OF LIZ
cense Law Begins I'm
mediately

Cameron county automobile owns
ers driving cars with but one IL
cense plate face immediate arrest
and a heavy fine, County Attorney
M. r. Hall said Tuesday in sound
ing a second warning to lax OBJ
servers Of the state license law.
There no longer will be any
first warnings, and those found on
the county roads violating this ACT
will be arrested at once" Hall saidR
Those who insist on driving with
dealers licenses in order to save a
few dollars are also subject to ar
rest, and at the same time have
no chance to effect a saving, as
the old method of paying the Ii
cense fee in quarterly amounts has
been changed to monthly install
ments by a recent act Of the leg
islature.
A third class Of license offenders
are those who live here but who
for the past several years have
been sending back to former home
states for license plates to grace
cars using Cameron county roads.
A checkup is being made of such
offenders and the practice no long
er will be tolerated, the county at
torney said.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-P)-
Leased wires and radio systems,
tapping the country for official re-
ports of crop situations, form one
Of the farmers great assets, in the
opinion Of Arthur M. Hyde, secre-
tary Of agriculture.
A network Of 10,580 miles Of
telegraph lines is utilized to carry
the market news traffic. In addi-
ton, radio telegraph transmission
is used in lieu of wire lines be-
tween Washington, D. c., and
Rochester, N. Y, and between San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
Production forecasts have prov
ed so thoroughly practical and use
full" MIR. Hyde said, that no me
intelligently conscious of the farm
er's interests wants them dropped.
Crop information, since it is
bound to get out somehow, is best
obtained from a competent source
which has no object in distorting
the facts. Without government
crop reports, the farmer would be
compelled to deal with buyers in
the dark. Both the farmer and
the buyer should know the facts"
Official crop reporting has been
constantly criticized. Farmers are
told that early official reports are
always above the final production,
and that prices are adversely af-
1ected at marketing time.
Criticism Of the government
crop reports" Mr.. Hyde said, docs
not come alone from the farmer,
but when it does, it has special
force. This is because the first
essential of a crop reporting sys-
tenn is that it shall have the in
formed approval Of agriculture.
There is little foundation, how
ever, for objections. Government
crop reporting averages high in &C
curacy; it is reliable and authori-
tatlve; and it gives the farmer in
formation that can not be conceal
ed from experienced observers
along open roads"
Price variations, often laid To the
predictions in crop reporting. are
pointed out by the secretary to re-
fleet actual supply and demand
conditions and not to under or
oVer-estlmate in forecasts.

on material obtained from manv

MEXICO

CONTINUED from page I'D
ferred with me and that I, as i'm
migration chief, had authorized an
nouncement that the present Mex
lean immigration regulations per-
tanning to local" Identification
cards and other requisites were not
now in effect, and that they would
not be put into effect until the last
day of the present month, and that
probably the regulations would not
be placed into effect at all.
81 respectfully ask for the accur-
Ecy Of your paper that you make the
following correction.
ut is not true that Mr.. Creager
has talked with the undersigned.
The one who talked to me was an
employee of the Gateway Bridge
company. He told me that Valley
citizens were crossing the Rio
Grande at Reynosa and that the
local bridge company was suffering
losses on that account. He said that
a representative of the bridge COM
pany wanted to make some kind Of
q statement to attract Valley people;
asking me, as it were. If I would al
low their representative to make a
statement.
"Not having anything to do with
the bridge company, l answered
that they were at liberty to act as
they pleased. But by no means did
nv answer authorize or will I ever
authorize the statement that the
new immigration laws are not in Ell
feet. They are now in effect n
are being strictly enforced.
"ThiS refers to local cards and
passports for the Brownsville res
idents as we'll as for those that re-
side in other parts Of the Uulted
States. All will have to bring the
proper consular documents, either as
tourists or immigrants"
Mr.. Creager said today that n
of the employees at the Gateway
bridge had brought the word to him
from the Mexican immigration au-
thorities yesterday on which he
based the statement that the regu-
lations had been suspended.
This morning Rodriguez stated
that all Mexican citizens residing in
the United States do not have to
have a certificate giving their place
of residence. All they have to do is
TO come to the immigration office
and bring their photographs and
establish their identity as Mexican
citizens.
"If at the end of July there are
persons that have not provided
themselves with the proper cards
and T have reason to believe that
they had not done so on account OF
lack of time. I may grant a few
more days grace, but that is up
10 me. However, if Mexican author
tiles order that no grace be given L
will give none" Rodriguez said.

1Snecial to The Heraldl

McALLEN, July 9.-Judge T. M.
Seawell has gone to Corpus Christi
where he is to make his headquar-
tiers while preparing two briefs in
the Gordon Griffin-J. z. Leslie case
in which Griffin is seeking to OBJ
tain the judgeship of the 93rd Ju-
dicial District Court.
Two appeals are to be briefed dur
ing the course of Judge Seawell's
work. The first is an appeal filed
by Leslie's attorneys on a privilege
motion when they requested that
the case be returned to Hidalgo
county for hearing. The second ap-
peal is from the order issued by
Judge Calhoun of Austin making
mandatory the inclusion Of the re
turns of the Weslaco box in the
judgship race in the general re-
turns from Hidalgo county which
are sent to the secretary Of state for
canvass by the state election board.

outstanding warrants after Sep
TENDER l from next years revenue.
The governor said he based the ST.
100000 figure On the fact that out
standing and unpaid warrants on
July l amounted to $4,414, 909, and
that the balance in the treasury to
the credit Of the general revenue
fund amounted now to only $2,312,-
736.
of course, all these appropria-
lions may not be used" the COVER
nor stated, "but there is no accu-
rate basis of estimating what will
and what will not be used. To be
safely within the revenues, it is
proper to contemplate that what
cannot be paid before September l
will have to be paid after that
date. 1t would seem that at least
S1,000,000 would have to be paid out
OF next years revenue"
The governor said a liberal esti-
mate Of the general revnue fund
for the next two years from sources
other than ad valorem taxes was
$14,000,O00.
The suggestion that there is no
necessary demand for an extern
slve building program for state
supported educational institutions
at this time also was advanced.
The governor set at rest belief
that subjects other than approoria-
lions would be submitted for con-
slderation by the lawmakers by the
statement that only one other mat
ter would be considered. Amend
ments to a law recodified in 1925
providing that a rate should be fix-
ed which would yield 81 per can
tia for all school children within
the scholastic age, were suggested
IN the message, with the explana-
ton that a suit involving payment
OF state aid to the public school
system was threatened unless the
statute was revised.
