CITY PLANNER
CONFERS HERE
Brownsville Seeks advice
On How to Beautify
And Build

Prospects for a city plan Tor
Brownsville seemed closer with the
visit here OF Major <. "A. Wood
who helped in the city plan idea
worked out IN Dallas.
City Manager 2. A. Rosenthal
said Friday that Major Wood
showed several plans Of work he
had done in city planning tor va
riouS cities.
While Brownsville officials have
done nothing definite regarding a
plan for the city. 1t Is known that
they have bee interested IL the
idea for some time. 1t Is likely
that Rosenthal will again hear
from Wood regarding the work.
The growing popularity OF city
planning is pointed out by the city
manager in that in 1915 there were
five cities in the country with plans
while last year there we're more
than 700.
Major Wood is now In Corpus
Christi working on a plan for the
gulf port city. A long drive along
the beach and a highway leading
directly to the port are being work
ed out there, he told Rosenthal.
Present plans allow a city such
as Brownsville the right to govern
the street planning Of additions
within five miles Of the corporate
limits. IN this way a city may
avoid the blind streets in many
older towns.

FRIDAY LAST
day ON EARTH
FOR DIR. SHOOK
Former Professor To
Die in Chair For
Staying Coed

COLUMBUS, o.. Feb. 2s-(Pp-
Today was the last on earth for
DR.. James Howard Shook, 50-year-
old former professor Of veterinary
surgery at Ohio state university,
condemned TO die in the electric
chair because he killed his coed
mistress, Theora Xix. He spent IT
in the state penitentiary preparing
for death.
Shocks attorneys. who fought for
his life through four courts and
into Governor Cooper's office only
10 lose their last battle there, were
merely waiting. So was Mrs. Helen
MARBLE Shook. wife Of the condem-
ned man, who shook the governor
with a powerful plea for clemency.
Good Marksman
DR.. Shook, who earned an inter-
national reputation as a pisto
marksman in addition to national
recognition as a writer on hunting
and veterinary surgery, played cards
with his death-cell mates until
lights out" time last night. He was
cheerful during the card game, but
as the night drifted into the fatal
day, he became nervous. and prison
guards feared he might break"
Only a week ago Shook told news
papermen he felt" he would get a
chance to tell the true story" OF
his relations with Miss Xix i'll an
other court. However, the federal
supreme court Tuesday refused TO
review his case, and Governor Coop
er yesterday declined TO grant him
a fourth reprieve or TO commute
his sentence to life imprisonment.
Dies Tonight
Warden p. E. Thomas, who has
discretionary power in setting the
hour for executions, said he would
hold to after the evening dinner
hour tonight" which would set 1t
at the usual time. about 7:30 p m.
Mrs. Thomas, who always cooks
the last meals for condemned men
from a menu selected by themsel-
yes, will prepare Dr.. Shocks last
meal. Rev. Isaac Miller. pastor OF
the King Avenue Methodist Epis-
copal church. who has been attend
ing both MI. and Mrs. Shook, re-
ceived permission to eat the meal
with DR.. Shook.
Mrs. Shook has not decided where
her husbands body will be buried.
His mother and sister. who reside IN
Lebanon. have not visited him since
his conviction last August in COM
mon pleas court here and have
specified that he shall not be buried
in the family grave yard there.
Boys Find Body
The crime fer which DR.. Shook
will pay was committed the night
OF last June - and Miss Hix's body
was found by two boys at noon the
next day. DR.. Shook was arrested
two DAYS later and confessed June
20. He was convicted August II and
sentenced on August 20 to die Nov
ember 20. He received three re-
prieves. as the appellate and SUI
preme courts considered his appeals.
Wednesday he 'retraced his wit
ness stand story concerning part OF
his relations with Miss Xix, saying
it was suggested to him by a ply
sician as a last straw. He said he
killed the girl after a quarrel had
ended their three-year friendship
and she threatened TO expose him
and kill his wife and two-year-oid
child.
