Bales of Cotton To
Date at End Of Week
(Snecial To The Herald)

SAN BENITO, July 20.-The VAL
ley has ginned 10000 bales of cot
ton reports received from various
ginning points here Saturday night
showed
This is 100 per cent increase
over the ginningS ID Saturday night
of last week.
Estimates made here were that
between $4,000 anG 100000 bales are
assured in the Valley this season,
and that with favorable weather
a crop Of 10000 bales is possible.
This means the largest crop in
the Valley for several season, and
if the total reached the maximum
that is predicted it will be the
largest crop ginned in the Valley
with the exception of 1926.
Complete reports we're not receiv-
ed from many of the cities Of the
Valley. The five gins in San Ben
ito have turned out 1902 bales. The
San Benito territory turned out
6,246 bales.
Cameron county has turned out
approximately $4,000 bales, the
Harlingen section ginning little
less than San Benito, and the re-
mainder being scattered throughout
the section.
Hidalgo county has ginned about
the same as Cameron.
Two Brownsville gins showed a
total of 1106. 1t was not possible
to get figures from the other gins

BANDITS FLEE

Pair Caught Looting Buda
Store Escape After Ex-

AUSTIN, July 20.-(P)-Two ban
dts who early today were surpriS-
ed while 1ooting a store at Buda, II
miles south Of here, engaged in a
gun fight with Clifton Moore, mer-
chant, and escaped in stolen auto
mobile. The shots aroused the lit

Closely pursued by posses from
Hays and Travis counties and blood
hounds brought from Austin, the
pair abandoned the automobile, hid
in ravine and later made a break
for freedom in a second stolen
automobile in Buda.
Less than a mile away, the en-
gine in the car became stalled as
the men attempted to cross a
stream, and the vehicle was aban-
doned. While dogs bayed closely
behind, the pair retraced their
steps and fled in another automo-
bile, speeding north toward Austin.

skirts of the city awaiting the fugi-

FRUIT SEIZED
FROM WOMAN
INVALLEYCITY
Geo. Terrell Moves To
Halt Entrance Of
Pest By Way of
Texas Ports
Especial to The Herald

LA FERIA, July 20.-That Texas
Gulf ports were wide open to Flor
ida citrus fruit, and thereby in
danger of permitting entry of the
Mediterranean fruit fly into the
state, was revealed here this week
when a woman who had been
aboard a steamer from New York
to Galveston arrived with guam
tity of Florida oranges. The fruit
was seized and destroyed here.
About 100 passenger, along with
this woman, arrived in Galveston
aboard the Algonquin, Clyde-Mal-
lory liner, and unmoleSted were
permitted to bring large quantities
Of Florida oranges and grapefruit
ashore
The steamer had stopped in
Miami, Fla, where passengers had
been permitted to 60 ashore and
purchase citrus fruit.
On being informed that pasSen-
gers were being allowed to bring
Florida citrus fruit ashore at Texas
ports without inspection, depart
ment of agriculture officials at Aus
tin gave assurance that the practice
would be stopped.
Jim d. Ramsey, secretary Of the
La Feria Booster Club, informed
the Texas department of agricul-
ture Of the incident in a telegram
j. M. Del Curto, department en-
tomologist, Saturday from Austin
telephoned to Ramsey that the sit
uation was being investigated and
that all passengers who arrived on
the Algonquin were being traced in
an effort to find and destroy any
remaining Florida fruit.
Del Curto also said the steamship
company had been notified that no
more passengers must be permitted
to bring in Florida fruit and that
the federal government had agreed
to help in closing teh ports to
fruit.
Geo. v. Terrell, commissioner Of
agriculture. who was in the Valley

the possible source of infestation
would be closed.

CALL 100 FOR
LEAHY TRIAL
Sanity Hearing to Start In y
Georgetown Monday
Morning

GEORGETOWN, Tex, July 90
P)-Fully 100 witnesses have been
called to testify in the sanity trial
Of H. J. Leahy, convicted of the
murder in May of 1926 Of DR.. j. A.
Ramsye of Mathis, which is sched-
uled to open Monday morning.
More than so of the witnesses have
been called by the defense in its
effort to support the affidavit by
Miss Amanda Davidson Of Taylor,
that she believes Leahy insane. The
defense announced today that at
least three other prominent lawyers
will join the defense staff for the
trial.
The Leahy case has been one Of
the most dramatic in Southwest
Texas in recent years. The de-
fendant was arrested after the body
of the aged Mathis physician was
found in a shallow grave in a de-
serted spot. Mathis owned the old
Leahy ranch and the state sought
to show that resentment over this
was, in part at least, the motive Of
the crime.
Leahy was tried IN George West,
near the scene Of the crime, was
sentenced to so years imprisonment.
The upper courts reversed the case
and it went to Georgetown on a
change of venue for retrial. The
verdict was again conviction and
this time the ju-J gave the death
penalty.
The second conviction was in
February Of -727. Since then Leahy
has been waging a losing fight in
the upper courts for his life. a mo-
ton for a new trial, an appeal to
the appellate court, and a motion
for rehearing all were denied.
Finally an appeal to the supreme
court was refused and Leahy was
sentenced to electrocution April
II. Stays Of execution to allow the
governor to study the case post
poned the execution, but leniency
was denied and the trial here is
apparently the last recourse Of the
defendant. Judge j. d. Moore Of
Austin will preside.

The trestles along the jetties
on the south end of Padre Island
and the north end of Brazos
Island will be floored to provide
safe fishing piers if Valley fish
ermen will subscribe a fund suf-

more than one sixth of this sum
already has been subscribed.
