STATEBONDIS
ONLY SHORT
House to Continue Drive For
Two-Thirds Majority
Monday

AUSTIN, March o. tP) Only
two votes short Of the coveted 100
to complete the necessary two
thirds majority to pass the state
highway bond issue amendment to
the people, advocates of the pro-
posal today laid plans to bring the
matter before the house again Mon
day.
Just how the resolution proposing
the amendment can be considered
again, after the house yesterday
refused to pass 1t finally, IS not
exactly clear.
The vote by which it failed to
pass can be reconsidered by a two
thirds vote, however, and the way
for this is paved by the opposition
having been too weak to clinch their
victory by carrying a motion to
reconsider and table.
Advocates Of the bond issue claim
ed they had more than enough
votes among the nine members who
were absent when the vote was TAX
en- to have passed it.
Speakers against passage OF the
resolution accused state officials
of high pressure" towards mem
bers in urging them to support the
law.
John Veatch of Joshua. 78 years
old and member of the legiSla-
ture for seven terms, said he had
never seen anything like it" He
said that when he came to Austin to
attend this session of the legisla-
ture he found very few of the men,
bers for it, but that influences had
been brought to bear to make them
change their attitude.
Those who spoke for the bond
Issue q gaded it was a matter that
should've submitted to the people
for their consideration, and con-
tended that unless bonds are issued
the state will never be able to OBJ
tain a connected system Of perma-
nent highways.

$4,000 Building Pro-
position

A call for an election to authorize
issuance Of bonds in the amount OF
$4,000 is expected to be called by
the board of trustees of the Browns
vile independent school district at
their regular meeting Monday night,
the bond issue to go before the vot-
ers at the regular school election on
April 6.
The bond issue is proposed to fl
nance construction Of a ward school
in the eastern part Of the city and
to remodel the old grammar school
building which has been condemned.
Members of the school board stat
ed that this construction is neces-
sary in order to handle the expected
10 per cent increase in enrolment
next year due to the new law re-
ducing the school age to 6 years.
The petition to call bond cleo
ton was signed jointly by the XII
wants Lions and Rotary clubs and
the City Federation Of Women's
clubs, and was filed with the secre-
tary of the school board.

Army Called Greatest
Led To Quell Revolt
Since Pancho Villa
ByFormer President

MEXICO CITY, March 9.-P)-
The greatest army Mexico has
known since the days of Pancho
Villa moved northward today in an
attempt to subdue the revolution IN
the north.
At its head was General Plutarco
Elias Gales, secretary of war, who
in 1915 rode with General Alvaro
Obregon at the head Of Mexico's
last similar army-that which
crushed Villa.
The immediate objective was
Canitas a junction point in the
state Of Zacatecas. Capture OF the
city would open way westward to
Durango, where General Urbalejo
held out, or northWard to Torreon
where General Jose Gonzalo ESco-
bars troops were located.
Army Kept Secret
Existence of this army-Which
some say contains $4,000 men-Was
kept secret until late last night
when an official government state
ment said it had been concentrat-,
ed at Irapuato, state Of Guanajua-
to, under the direction Of General
LoZaro Cardenas.
Almost simultaneously with the
announcement special train
which had been waiting with steam
up at the Colonia station left to join
the troops with General Gales and
his staff aboard.
Departure of General Callas from
Mexico City and practically entire
shifting of activity from north and
south made clearer than ever the
government stragtery-of sweeping
clean in Vera Cruz before attend
ing to house cleaning in the north
So scattered is the revolutionary
in Vera Cruz and the
south now it can hardly be counted
as at all threatening.
May Fight at Canitas
On the other hand the decisive
battle of the revolt may occur
shortly in a clash between the COM
bined forces of General Urbalejo
and General Escobar, and the army
of General Gales.
The first battle Of the northern
campaign may be fought at Canitas
unless the rebel forces retreat from
there before arrival Of the federals.

paine flying over the city yester-
day said he saw three troop trains
