1--WE find that this number was
sufficient to run the schools this
year without purchasing a single
book" said the report signed by
Senators A. j. Wirtz of Seguin and
Will N. Martin of Hillsboro. "We
further find that to change the
present geography in use as well
as arithmetics, histories and many
Of the other books that were sought
to be changed at the October meet
ing, would entail loss to the state
OF many hundreds of thousands Of
dollars"
The majority committee concur
red in the recent opinion of Attor-
ney General Claude Pollard which
held void certain awards made by
the commission. Senator G. G.
Small Of Wellington, dissented In
this but he joined with the major
ity "in insisting that some regard
be given to the recommendations
OF county superintendentS before
books are discarded; that more at
tention be paid to the supply of
books on hand at the time con-
tracts expire; and that more con-
servative and economical policy be
adopted with reference to the use
Of old books and the purchase and
adoption of new books"
When the senate acts finally on
the reports, the three investigations
ordered by this legislature will have
been concluded except for filing of
the report Of the joint committee
which investigated the land office
The land office committee COM
pleted its inquiry yesterday but an
nounced it would defer its report
until the special session. The COM
mittee which investigated the high
way commission had already filed
its report generating members OF
the commission Of charges which
were brought against it.

OFFICER GETS
5-MONTH TERM
Harlingen Constable Found
Guilty of Aggravated AS
sault In Shooting

Five months in Jail was the sem
tence meted out to Porter Eubanks,
Harlingen constable, by the jury in
criminal district court which late
Tuesday night found the officer
guilty Of aggravated assault.
The case grew out of shooting
on road near Los IndiOS on the
night of February %, in which a
car occupied by three schoolboys
was strl-ck several times by bullets
and buckShOt.
Strong Boynton, deputy constable,
who was indicted jointly with Eu-
banks, secured a severance and his
case was placed on call with the
probability that it would come to
trial the latter part of the week.
The Eubanks case went to the
jury shortly after o'clock and the
verdict was returned at $3.50 p. m.
The three Schoolboys, Robert Con-
dit of San Benito, and w. j. Morris
and James Franklin of Los Indios
all under Is ytars of age, testified
their car had been fired upon by
the officers and forced into a ditch
They stated they thought they were
being attacked by highwaymen
Robert Conditt testified he smelled
liquor on the breath of the men.
The defendant stated he was
watching the road for liquor Cal
and had secured search warrant
and he thought the car in which
the boys were riding was the one
for which he was waiting. Several
witnesses testified they were with
Eubanks a few hours after the af-
fair and smelled no liquor.
Attorneys are in doubt as to the
effect the conviction will have ir
connection with the Harlingen man
retaining his office as constable. He
was convicted Of a misdemeanor
not a felony. The law provides that
when a sheriff or deputy sheriff is
indicted he is automatically sus-
pended from office, but the Law
makes no similar provisions for the
office Of constable, it was stated.
Notice of appeal was given, anc
Eubanks was released on bond pend
| ing the appeal.

Final Passage Of
Auto License Cut
Blocked In Senate

AUSTIN, March 13.-(P1-Final
passage Of the automobile license
fee reduction bill in the senate be-
fore noon today was blocked by a
determined minority, which was,
however, unable to prevent adoption
of concurrent resolution suspend
ing the 24-hour rule.
Since the rule requiring that no
bill may be finally passed during
the last "a hours of a session is a
joint regulation, the house must
concur in the resolution by two
thirds vote to resurrect the license
fee bill.
Hungry members finally agreed
ION their honor" to return at 2
o'clock and the call was removed
leaving status Of the bill in the
air.

death Of General Francisco Car

Potosi, were received at revOlu-

WASHINGTON, March 13.-(P-
Detention by American authorities
of any additional rebels who cross
the boundary line from Mexico, is
considered likely by the state de-
partment in view Of the Pan Amer
ican treaty which provides for the
interment of individuals who rebel
against the constituted government.
This treaty has not yet been
ratified by the senate and while
the United States government would
therefore not be found by 1t, the
view is that officials in Washington
would endeavor to carry out the
spirit Of the treaty wherever pos
sible and advisable.
The state department is without
official information as to the pres
ent status of General Francisco
Borques. rebel officer at Nogales
Sonora, who was reported in dis
patches last night interned by Uni
ted States immigration officers after
crossing the border and later re-
leased and permitted to return to

direct blame upon General Mobile
for the loss Of the dirigible and CEN
sured him for allowing himself to

General Mobile had a long and

prominence when he flew with

Norge across the north pole from
Spitzbergen to Alaska in 1926.

The Patagonia H. S. Judging
Team had a hilarious time at Tue
son. In spite of the late hours
they kept on Friday night they
made a very good record Saturday
in judging.
Tie next Judging contest will
perhaps be held in the Salt River
Valley sometime in the spring. The
winning team will be sent to Kan
sas City the following fall.
The expenses of the trip are paid
by the Santa Fe Railroad provided
the winning team comes from a
town served by that line. Plans
are being made by the Southern
Pacific to offer prizes for the best
projects. Under this new plan Qf
it goes through the state will be
divided into five districts. Each
district will have $500 to award in
prizes:
Best Animal Husbandry
Project $50
Second Animal HuSbandry
Project .....-...--..--.......-.... S 50
Best Crop Project ---...--...--$lOO
Second Crop Project ..........$5O
The detailed plans and rules for
awarding the prizes will be worked
out later. There are only five
schools in each district which have
to complete The districts are so di-
yided that the competition is fairly
even, that is, any school in any CIV
en- district has as much chance to
take the prize as any school in the
district. The prizes will perhaps
not be paid in cash but in Pure
Bred Stock or certified seed. The
purpose of this is to increase the
interest of the boys in agriculture
and at the same time promote the
agriculture Of the country.
