BIZ PAUL
NFA Service Writer

NEW YORK. Sidney Franklin,
the Brooklyn boy who made good
in the bull rings of Spain, now is
being tossed on the horns OF a dill
emma. For managers Of half the
arenas Of the Latin countries in
the south are bidding for his serv-
ices. and promoters right here in
the United States are talking in
several figures about movies, yaude-
Vile. rodeos and radio
It's a tough problem and Sidney
isn't going TO be bulldczed into a
hasty decision. He had thought,
before landing IN New York the
other day, that an American bull
fighter was quite without honor in
his own country. He had planned a
short visit in the capacious bosom
Of his family, TO assuage its wor-
ries, before dashing down to the
plazas de toros of Mexico, Central
and South America.
But there had been a good deal
Of ballyhoo about Franklin's arrival
and between his friends, nelghbors,
press-agents, various worshipful
Latin-Americans and a reception
at city hall, the gringo matador got
quite a welcome. Mayor Walker was

And can fight as often as he
chooses.
Yet the memory OF an often-re-
peated promise comes to quell the
eager CLINT in Franklin'S blue eyes.
For he told his family he would
come back and settle down-and
ever since boyhcod days he has
gone counter to their wishes.
No matter whether you car rec
oncile art with bulltighting. Frank
lin was an artist born and remains
one still. Childhood friends in
Brooklyn remember him as an
es-hetic. shy and rather delicate
youngster who preferred drawing
pictures to taking part in their TO
bust games. At 10 he was the only
boy entered in a beaded embroidery
contest conducted by a department
store. He won first prize.
The Frumkins opposed his choice
Of q career. ever after he had won
honors at Columbia University al
the age Of 10. When he ccmpro-
missed bv taking up commercial art,
they still begged him to go into
business. But one day he disap-
peared, with the savings from his
poster business. and wrote them
from Mexico City that he was O
partner in a commercial art shop
there.
One night he went to a bull fight
with some Mexican friends. anC
l profoundly shocked them BY declar-
ing that the thing looked easy. HI
took their dare to appear on ar
amateur night, when young bull
with undeveloped horns are used

The report estimated that gov
eminent taxes On these amusement
groups would APPROXIMATE 100000
pesos for 1880. Based on an aver
age OF 10 pr cent taxation. the
report estimated that tho total eX-
~penditure Of the Republic for di-
version this year would be in ex-
cess Of fifteen million pesos.

EARLY PRODUCE
MOVES SLOWLY
Mains Hold Up Vegetable
Shipments; Production
Over Country Heavy
Especial TO The Herald)


SAN BENITO. Nov. although
valley vegetables are earlier than in
most years. no considerable move
ment is expected TO take place for
some time due 10 the disO-ganlzed
market and the fact that many
northern communities are still be-
ing supplied with home products,
according 10 Davis Wade Of the
produce firm Of Wade and Newton
which has packing sheds at virtual
ly all the important Valley shipping
points
Mr.. Vsade said that not only are
the Valley vegetables 50 early that
they are entering competition with
late crops elsewhere, but that there
has not been enough cold weather
IN the North as vet to damage home
grown crops. Real winter weather Is
expected to kill those crops and
stimulate the market for Valley
products. Most Of those cars which
have moved out OF the Valley were
! in the nature Of an experiment TO
feel out the market.
4 Acreage Larger
Although original acreages are
much larger than those OF last
year for most crops. rains have
damaged all vegetables consider
ably. MIR. Wade says. Rains damaged
beans about so per cent, he esti-
mates, cabbage 80 per cent. fall
potatoes so per cent and tomatoes
almost 100 per cent He says that
this probably will be a blessing in
I disguise since there Is an overpro-
duction OF vegetables everywhere.
] Early paintings Of beans suffered
the most and later paintings may
improve in yield and quality. Car
rots were held back in size by rains
and other crops suffered similarly
A tendency TO get away from
cotton as the principal crop on
farms in the south contributed tc
overproduction Of vegetables. in the
opinion of Mr.. Wade. Those farm
