no political obligation to support
Senator Mayfield, and that the
first time he ever heard of May
field claiming that I vas under
any obligation to him was after
Senator Mayfield had filed a pro-
test against my confirmation. Mr..
Fulbright also stated to the COM
mittee that he was interested in
Senator Mayfield'S reelection, and
that he understood Mayfield want
ed me to have this appointment
on the theory that if I accepted
it, I would not be a candidate for
the senate against him, and that
this was his moving purpose in
wanting me to have this appoint
ment.
Says Acts Not Censored
There is an unwritten and I'M
broken rule in the senate that If
at any time a senator states
that any appointment is per-
sonally Objectionable to him, the
senate will not, as a matter of cour-
teSy, confirm the appointment.
When the committee had my ap-
pointment before it for considera-
ton, Senator Mayfield, disgruntled
at his defeat for ~re-election) in
voked this senatorial courtesy

II want the people of Texas to
know that there was no fact of
any kind established before tn
committee that reflected in the least
on me as a man, on my official act.

work as a member of the board.

I wish to announce that I have
withdrawn from the Basket Place
in MatamoroS, and take this oppor-
tunity to sincerely thank friends
and customers who so literally pa
tronize me during the past 80
months. 1 also desire to advise the
land companies, their agents and
chauffeurs that I appreciate the
bushes brought to me during the
past.
A large number of the land
agents who p~atronized me were my
customers during my Is years as a
photographer and they did not for
get the fair treatment accorded
them by me. AS a result they
brought their e~xcursionists to my
store.
At present I have no definite
plans, but am going to take a rest
and complete by treatise on the
Flora of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley" a work on which 1 have
spent all my spare time in the past
Is years.
A little later I will have a very
important announcement to make
to my friends and an especially at
tractive plan for land agents.

NeH Explains Why
He Was Not Okehed
After Appointment

WACO. March 23.-(P-In a
statement here today, former Gov
ernor Pat M. Neff explained why,
ne said, the senate did not con-
urn his reappointment as a men,
Der of the United States board of
mediation.
President Coolidge originally ap-
pointed me a member of this board
10 I'LL an uneXpired term Deem
Der 81, 1923, at which time he
named me for a full term of five
years." said Mr.. Neff's statement.
MY name went to the Interstate
commerce committee of the senate
Tor consideration. When reappoint-
ed, Senator Mayfield, who was a
member of this committee, and who
had voted for my original confir-
nation, objected to my reappoint-
ment Of the theory that he had
been instrumental in securing for
me my first appointment, and that
l did not give my active support
to him in his candidacy for re-
election. He assigned no other rea-
son for opposing my confirmation.
Not Debted to Mayfield
Now, as a matter of fact, Senator
Mayfield did not secure this ap-
polntment for me. In January,
while this matter was under con-
s~ideration, President-Elect Hoover
gave me authority to say my ap-
polntment came as a direct result
OF his investigation and on his rec
concentration, which investigation
was made at the request of Presi-
dent Coolidge by Mr.. Hoover while
secretary Of commerce. President
Coolidge also gave me authority to
say Senator Mayfield did not have
the placing Of this appointment.
After the recommendation made by
MI. Hoover, the president himself
made inquiry Of the senators from
Texas, several of the Texas con-
greSsmen, and others, as to nv
qualifications. Senator Mayfield
had nothing to do with originat-
ing my appointment. After the
president had commenced to make
inquiries concerning me, Senator
Mayfield learned I was being con-
sidered for this place and proceed
ed, for political purposes, to brand
1t his appointment.
Flags Mayfield
"At no time or place, either be-
fore or after my appointment, did
I have any conversation or COM
m~unication of any nature with Sem
ator Mayfield in regard to this ap-
pointment.
However, before the appointment
was rendered to me by the presi-
dent, but long after I had been I'M
der consideration by him, Senator
Mayfield sent to me a mutual
friend, r. G. Fulbright of Houston,
to make inquiry of me if 1 would
like to have this appointment. Mr..
Fulbright, the only person with
whom I had any conversation at
any time about this matter, told
the senate committee by written
communication, that there was no
no political trade Of any kind made
with me and that I was under

about him. For a long time nothing
happened Finally Peter dosed. When
he opened his eyes again that nat
rock where he had seen Mrs. Water
snake take her sunbath and eat her
fish was covered with snakes. Yes, sir,
1t was literally covered with snakes.
Mrs. Watersnake was there and crawl
ing around her and over her were little
Watersnakes. At least, Peter assumed
they were little Watersnakes and in this
he was right.
"Goodness!" gasped Peter. "Can that
possibly be all one family? I never
have heard of any one with so many
children. I'll count them"
But Peter didn't count them. They
wouldn't keep still long enough. BY
the time he had reached q dozen he
couldn't tell which ones he had counted
and which ones he hadn't counted. So
at last he gave that up. As q matter
of fact, there were over 80 children,
for Mrs. Watersnake was unusually
large and she had a very large family.

Well, what is the reason?" demand
ed Chatter.
Look over on that nat rock" re-
piled Peter. You'll see the reason sur
rounded by lot of little reasons"
Chatter looked over and saw Mrs.
Watersnake and her family. What
have they got to do with fish?" de-
manded Chatter.
Just then Mrs. Watersnake slid into
the water. A moment later she slid
out again. this time with trout in her
mouth. Chatter said not q word. He
understood then what Peter had meant.
did you ever see so many children
In one familya" demanded Peter.
"Yes," replied Chatter, "I've seen
more. I've seen Mrs. 0artersnake with
bigger family than that"
"I haven't, but that doesn't matter. !"
replied Peter. "This family Is big
enough. Just think OF the number Of
fish 1t will take to feed all those snakes
when they get big enough to eat small
minnows and small trout"
That's So" agreed Chatter. "and
all the time other people will be get
ting blamed for taking too many fish
That's the way 1t goes in the world.
Well, don't like snakes and I'm not

too, that 1t is always easy to blame the

Now Peter was sure that not one Of
these was wholly to blame. There was

fishing and doing it without being seen.
It was just by chance that Peter had
discovered this. That some one else
was Mrs. Watersnake. Peter had seen
her take two nice trout in succession
from q certain pool in the Laughing
Brook. Undoubtedly, Mr. WaterSnake
was catching his share. Judging by
what he had seen of Mrs. Watersnake s
appetite, Peter felt that it, wouldn't
take many Watersnakes along the
length of the Laughing Brook to cause
o shortage In the supply Of fish.
1t was few days after Peter had
seen Mrs. Watersnake beside that GER
