RObBER WANTS s BUT SC0RNS Sl.l0
Woman Tells Police Of Mysteri-
 ous Attempt at Holdup

Two mysterious men and a dark sedan figured in the story of an at- tempted holdup reported to the po lice late yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Mary Pierlioni, wife of Dominic Pierlioni of 3S Queen street. Mrs. Pierlioni was sitting at her sewing machine shortly before 5 clock yesterday afternoon. sewing some clothes for one of her four small children. Her husband, who is employed but three days each week, was out seeking extra work. Suddenly, while Mrs. Pierlioni was busy pedaling the machine, which made considerable noise, she was startled to hear d mans voice say, T believe that l know you.' The woman looked up and saw a stran- ger standing before her. He had en- tered the front door, which the chill dren had left open few moments before, and the noise of the machine drowned the noise of his entry.
 Solicitous Holdup Man
 The stranger inquired about Mir. Pierlioni and expressed sorrow tha. he was working on short time. He asked where her husband was, and finding that the husband was not at home, told her. she reported, that he wanted s5. She replied that she did not have s5, and then the stranger made a very careful and thorough search of her clothing, she said, and found s1.10, which he did not take.
 The stranger then started out, and before leaving the room, drew q revolver from his pocket and told Mrs. Pierlioni that if she made an outcry or told anyone of his visit ne would shoot her. He stepped out onto the veranda and walked down Queen street and Corbin avenue 10 Mitchell street, where he got into sedan that had been parked there engine running.
 Another man stood on the veran- da peering through the window while the stranger was accostinc, Mrs. Pierloni, and as soon as the stranger had left the house, the man on the veranda walked across lots to the parked car and got in. When the two men were in the car 1t was rapidly driven away.
 The man who entered the home and searched Mrs. Pierlioni. she said, was about 8 years old, weigh- ed about 165 pounds and was about feet. inches tall He wore a cap and light overcoat and was dark
 The man on the veranda was ap- parently about 36 years old, weighed about 155 pounds and was about the same height as the other man. He was dressed in blue coat and wore soft hat.

EENN IS IN WHIRL
 OF CONGRESS FIGHT
Head Of Census Committee in
 Reapportionment Dispute
By GEORGE H. MANNING

Washington Bureau N. E. Herald)
 Washington, Nov. 21-Represen- tative E. Hart Fenn, of Wethers- field, chairman of the house census committee, hae returned to this city this week to find himself in the very heated battle over the reappor- tionment of house members in ac- cordance with the 1880 census.
 Although President Hoover only announced the new state represen- tation figures this week, rumblings of fight already have commenced. Representative Rankin, democrat, Mississippi, and Representative Dickinson, republican, Iowa, the latter now senator-elect, both of lose under the reapportionment, have announced their intention 10 attempt to have the law amended.
 MT. Fenn said he would call the census committee together after the coming session of congress convenes, it some definite proposals are put before it. It seems certain that these proposals will be made.
 Dickinson's plan is to exclude aliens from the census court. This, ir his opinion, would cut down the representation of the industrial state to the advantage of the farming communities. Rankin has not an- nounced his plan, blut it is believed that he wants the membership of the house increased so that no state will lose representation it now has.
 This latter scheme, however, would nullify the intent Of the re- apportionment act, sponsored by M-. Tenn, which contemplated that rep resentation in the house should be based on population, as provided in the constitution, but limited the to. ta, house membership to 435.
 If the Rankin proposal were ac- cepted the present disparity between cities and the country would be con- tinued, For years the rural dis trlcts have been over-represented, while cities have been under-repre- sented, from a population stand point. It was to correct this obvious urfairness that the Tenn act was passed by congress.
 MT. Tenn believes that the pres ent law will remain on the statute books and that the house member slip will be limited to 435.
 Unless congress takes some action at this coming session. the reappor- ticnment will automatically go into effect on March 4, next. according to the Fenn act. This provision was prrposely inserted in the bill, be. cause congress failed to reapportion after the 1920 census, thus clearly eNading a constitutional duty.
 The reapportionment will apply 70 the 73d congress, members 10 which will be elected in 1882. It will not affect the 7ed congress which con- 1881.
 The states will be notified of the number of representatives allowed under the new census figures and it will be Up to the legislatures to realign the congressional districts. II the legislatures fail to do this. any additional congressman allowed will be elected from the state at large. Congressmen in excess of the quota, of course, will be drop ped

Texans Outline Plans fer Farm
Relief

Texans visited Washington and held an important
conference with Eugene Meyer. governor CT the Fed
eral Reserve bank. Bankers and farm representatives
outlined four programs by which they hope to estab-
lish q number Of farm credit corporations for the
relief or farmers who are facing financial disaster
as a result Of the drouth. Gov. Meyer, according to
Washington dispatches. could not give official recog-
milton to the plan but expressed the belief that they
we're following the proper procedure. This committee
Of Texans was headed by Sens. Tom Connally and
Norris Sheppard. and Cong. John NJ Garner ana
Marvin Jones.
IL is the hope Of the Texans. according to Washing
ton correspondents. to be able to set Up a group Of
perhaps 10 farm lean corporations. organized b. local
subscription. which would redIscount farm loans at
federal intermediate land banks without further Sc
cwity. According 70 the principal spokesman Of the

American Potato Supply

Potatoe production in the United States now seems
likely to total less than 100000 bushels. This is the
estimate made by the federal department Of agri-
culture. This would be nearly six per cent smaller
than the light production Of 360.O00c00 bushels last
year, IA per cent below the five year average crop from
1924 to 1928 and only about six per cent larger than
the very short crop Of l2i 100000 bushels in 1925 How
ever. IL is added that ii states where the crops have
suffered most from heat and drouth rains can still
cause some Improvement in the crop. Prospects con-
tinued good in New Jersey and three Of the Western
shipping states. November estimate may change the
figures for the better. II IS useless TO count the chicks

Oscar Castillo, The Herald's excel

method was TO make the prisoners

them so they fell back into them
saving their exc~cutioners lots OF
trouble.

Another method vas to line them
up on the public square. or plaza,
and shoot them publicly as an ex-

privately.
But this is entirely too bloody q

Roads Good
Those Who desire TO spend the

the roads arc good. especially the

highway and Point Isabel.
Those going to Boca Chica, Of
course. will have no trouble at all,
even if II rains, for that highway

A detour IS necessary, though,
over the Point Isabel road. as the
highway is being paved on the other
